From Substitute Lover To Scorned Heiress
Modern I gave up my family's billion-dollar fortune to build a company from scratch with my college boyfriend, Bryant. I fought my father for him, believing our love was the one thing I could count on.
Then his childhood sweetheart, Kiley, came back to town, and I discovered the devastating truth: I was never his true love, just a convenient stand-in he chose because my smile reminded him of hers.
He moved her into his office, let her humiliate me, and even bought her a custom wedding gown in my name, trying to pass it off as an anniversary gift when I found it.
The night he came home smelling of her perfume and used his dead mother's memory to manipulate me, something inside me finally broke.
"You're all I have left," he whispered, holding me tight.
He thinks I'm the same naive girl who fell for his lies. But with my own family's empire now on the brink of collapse, I've already accepted an arranged marriage. And before I go, I'm going to burn his entire world to the ground. The Billionaire Heiress's Revenge: Rejecting Her Cheating Mate
Werewolf I was the Barron heiress, and everyone assumed Damien, the Head Warrior, was my fated match.
But the sickening scent of rotting peaches led me to the garden, where I found him pinning Eve against a tree.
He wasn't just cheating; he was admitting he only wanted me for the Alpha title, while calling that manipulative charity case his "true queen."
When I tried to cut off his funding, he declared war.
He sabotaged my saddle, leaving a silver shard embedded in my leg, and sneered that I was vulnerable without him.
Then came the ultimate humiliation.
At my twenty-first birthday party, in front of every high-ranking wolf, Eve and Damien played a deepfake video of me with Rogues.
Damien looked at me with mock pity, offering to marry me only to "hide my shame," while his six brothers stood as a human shield protecting Eve.
They called me broken. They thought I was defenseless.
But they didn't know I had already sent a message to the most dangerous wolf in existence.
Just as Damien tried to force his claim, the ballroom doors exploded inward.
The Alpha King walked in, eyes glowing gold, and pulled me against his chest.
"She is mine," he growled, silencing the room.
I looked at Damien and his brothers, holding up a silver USB drive.
"You destroyed my reputation to protect her," I whispered.
"Now, let's see if you still want her when you find out she's been sleeping with all seven of you."
I plugged in the drive. The Wife He Killed Returns To Destroy Him
Mafia I stood center stage in a wedding dress worth more than a small country, waiting for my final fitting.
For seven years, I had trained to be the perfect mafia wife for Ethan, the future Don.
Then the door slammed open.
Ethan’s underboss walked in, hand on his gun, looking at me with zero respect.
"The wedding is off," he said.
"Ethan had an accident. He lost his memory. He doesn't remember the pact, and he doesn't remember you."
Desperate, I drove to his private villa to help him remember.
But I didn't find a confused patient.
I found Ethan lounging on a sofa with a model on his lap, his hand sliding up her thigh.
When he saw me, his eyes weren't blank; they were cold and annoyed.
He hadn't lost his memory. He just wanted to void the contract without a war.
To get rid of me, he ordered a hit.
My car was rammed off a cliff that night.
As I hung upside down in the wreckage, bleeding and broken, I heard his voice outside.
"Make it look like a drunk driving accident," he told his men.
"I don't want any loose ends."
He walked away, leaving me to die in the rain.
But he made one fatal mistake. He didn't check if my heart had stopped.
They buried an empty coffin, and Ava Miller officially died.
Two weeks later, a woman named Olivia Carter opened an investment firm across the street from his tower.
I remember everything, Ethan.
And I’m going to burn your empire to the ground. His Wife's Deadly Secret
Modern The emergency alert from my son Leo' s smartwatch vibrated against my wrist-SOS.
I found him face down in the pool, still.
My wife, Jessica, stood by the edge, phone in hand, a glass of wine beside her, looking utterly bored.
"He' s just faking it again, Liam. He' s trying to get attention," she said, as I pulled Leo' s limp body from the water.
My world shattered, and with it, a dam of forgotten memories broke.
My name isn' t Liam Hayes; it' s Noah Miller. I' d been in an accident, given amnesia, and then reshaped through countless surgeries into Liam' s spitting image-Jessica' s dead fiancé.
I had been nothing more than a replacement, a puppet in a life that wasn' t mine. To find out Liam wasn't even dead, that he was sleeping with my wife right under my nose? It was unbearable.
Leo knew. He knew Liam wasn't his father. That's why he fell in the pool. He didn' t fall, he sacrificed himself to expose the truth.
Jessica knew he was terrified of water. And she let him drown, to punish him for revealing her carefully constructed lie.
While my son lay dying, Jessica and Liam were celebrating their anniversary, taking smiling photos for the social pages.
The grief was suffocating, but a cold, hard rage solidified in my chest.
I cradled my son' s lifeless body, pulling out my phone.
My fingers trembled as I scrolled past Jessica' s name and stopped at Evelyn Reed, her mother.
When she answered, I said, "Evelyn, this is Noah Miller. I remember everything. Leo is dead. And it' s time for me to leave."
The party was over, and my vengeance was just beginning. His Fiancee's Lies, His Cold Fury
Billionaires The VIP wing of Miller Hospital was supposed to be a place of quiet luxury, a formality before my wedding to Olivia Hayes, the brilliant CEO.
Instead, it became a public spectacle when a male nurse, Liam White, launched into a vicious, calculated attack, slandering me with accusations of STIs and a shocking, fabricated abortion scandal involving a married socialite.
The whispers from onlookers ripped through the room, tainting my family's name and leaving me exposed, while Olivia, my fiancée, stood by, seemingly prioritizing appearances over my defense.
A cold rage simmered within me. How could anyone believe such disgusting lies, let alone my own fiancée? Why was she so passive, almost complicit?
Despite the humiliation, I agreed to further tests to clear my name. But the true betrayal struck days later at Olivia' s bridal boutique, where I discovered Liam, the man who tried to ruin me, brazenly wearing my custom wedding suit. He then deliberately destroyed it.
Just as Olivia defended him, a quiet whisper revealed the shocking truth: Olivia and Liam weren't just colleagues-they were lovers, conspiring against me, gloating over my pain.
In that moment, everything clicked. The muted reactions, the immediate hire, the fierce protection. It was all a lie.
The wedding was off. I threw her engagement ring onto a display table, the clatter echoing the shattering of my world.
"You' re a fraud I' ve been funding," I told her, exposing her financial deceptions to the stunned crowd.
My family' s formidable legal power swung into action. I sued them both, ripping away their carefully constructed facades, watching their alliance crumble into bitter accusations.
Their ultimate fate, a desperate struggle ending in a fatal fall, played out on the marble staircase of my new mansion, a chilling, final release.
