On the same afternoon I learned I was finally pregnant, the doctor handed me a death sentence: stage 4 stomach cancer.

I went home to tell my husband, Anderson, only to be interrupted by a call from a woman named Katlyn.

"He' s on a '100-Day Farewell Tour' with me," she gloated, "getting the fun out of his system before he comes back to his boring duty as a father."

For the next three months, I died in silence while Anderson lived his best life with her.

He blamed my weight loss on morning sickness and my vomiting on hormones, never looking closely enough to see the blood.

On my birthday, the final day of his "tour," he bought me a cake, tucked me into bed, and immediately left to celebrate their finale in a hotel room across the street.

He didn't know that while he was whispering promises to his mistress, I was signing our divorce papers.

I terminated the pregnancy he claimed to want so badly and left the medical report on the table.

By the time he came home to play the role of the devoted husband, I was already gone.

Chapter 1

Hana Silva POV:

I knew something was wrong when Katlyn Pope, a woman I' d never met, waved me over to her table in the bustling café, a self-satisfied smirk playing on her lips, ready to tell me she was my husband' s true love. My stomach churned, a familiar discomfort I' d grown used to lately, as I navigated the crowded tables. Katlyn' s aggressive vibe immediately set me on edge.

"So, you're Hana," she said, her voice dripping with false sympathy as I approached. "Anderson talks about you. Not in a good way, of course."

She leaned back, crossing her legs, a bright red heel tapping the floor with an irritating rhythm. Her smile stretched, showing perfect white teeth, but her eyes held a predatory gleam that sent a shiver down my spine. "He told me he belongs with me now."

"Anderson is my husband," I stated, my voice flat, holding onto the last shred of dignity I possessed. The words felt hollow, even to me.

"Are you proud of that, Katlyn? Being the other woman?" I asked, a bitter taste rising in my mouth.

Her smile didn't falter. If anything, it widened, a sign of her twisted triumph. It was a grotesque display of self-satisfaction.

With a flourish, she slid a stack of glossy photos across the table. They landed with a soft thud, a prelude to the impending devastation. The top picture was of Anderson, his arm wrapped around Katlyn, his face alight with a joy I hadn't seen in years. Joy that was never mine to inspire.

My eyes blurred, refusing to focus on the intimate details. I knew what they depicted; I didn't need to see it to feel it. The betrayal was a physical ache in my chest.

"These are just pictures," I whispered, the words hollow even to my own ears. "Anderson loves me." It was a desperate plea to a God I no longer believed in.

I pushed my chair back, the screech echoing in the quiet corner of the café. "I'm leaving." I needed to escape, to breathe air that didn't smell of cheap coffee and infidelity.

Katlyn reached out, her hand firmly grasping my wrist, her grip surprisingly strong. "Not yet, Hana. We're just getting started." Her touch felt like a brand, searing my skin.

My gaze dropped to her hand, resting on my wrist. A delicate silver ring gleamed on her finger. My heart seized. It was identical to the one Anderson wore, a ring he claimed was a 'friendship' gift from his college buddies. Lies, all lies.

A cold dread seeped into my bones. This wasn't accidental. This was a deliberate, cruel taunt, designed to inflict maximum pain.

I slowly pulled my hand away, my breath catching in my throat. I sank back into my seat, my composure a fragile mask that threatened to crack at any moment.

Katlyn's eyes narrowed, a flicker of irritation crossing her face. My lack of a dramatic outburst seemed to fuel her fire. "You're not reacting how I expected," she pouted, a childish petulance that belied her aggressive demeanor. "I thought you'd be more... upset. I've been waiting for this."

"Anderson and I are truly in love, Hana. He just hasn't had the chance to tell you," she declared, her voice rising slightly, as if to convince herself more than me.

"He was so close to leaving you," Katlyn continued, her words like daggers plunging into my soul. "But then... you got pregnant. He said it complicated things. It's why he needed his '100-Day Farewell Tour' with me, to get it out of his system before he came back to his 'duty' as a husband."

"Your pregnancy was just a leash, Hana. A way to tie him down," she spat, venom coating every syllable.

The grand cathedral of my trust, built over seven years, collapsed into rubble around me. I felt the tremors deep within my core.

Only Anderson and I knew about the baby. The implications hit me like a physical blow. He had told her. He had shared our most intimate secret with his mistress.

Katlyn's voice became a shrill cacophony, detailing their stolen moments, their shared dreams, painting a picture of a life Anderson had built with another woman. A life I thought was ours.

My mind reeled, a torrent of forgotten details flooding my consciousness. The late-night calls he took outside, the strange perfume on his shirts that he blamed on clients, the way he'd sometimes mumble Katlyn's name in his sleep and then pretend it was a dream. The hurried texts, the sudden "work trips," the excuses for missed dinners, the subtle shifts in his affection. Each memory, once dismissed as my insecurity, now clicked into place, forming a hideous mosaic of deceit.

The blind faith I had in him shattered into a million sharp pieces, each one piercing my heart. There was no doubt left, only the cold, hard truth.

"He only stays with you out of obligation, Hana. There's no love left. Not really," she sneered, enjoying my silent torment.

"I'm what he truly desires. I'm his escape," she boasted, puffing out her chest, her chest.

"He promised me these '100 days.' A grand farewell tour, he called it. To burn out our passion before he 'responsibly' returned to his marriage. But I won't let him go that easily," she declared, her eyes flashing with a possessive fire. "Not until your birthday. That's the day his 'tour' ends."

The café noise, Katlyn's voice, the clatter of cups-it all faded into a muffled hum. Only one phrase echoed in the hollow space of my mind: 100-Day Farewell Tour.

I wasn't calm. I was numb. My body had simply shut down, trying to process the overwhelming tidal wave of pain.

Too much had happened lately. More than anyone should have to bear. Each blow, each revelation, was like a dull knife twisting in an already festering wound. But this meeting, this conversation, this woman... this was the killing blow.

My wedding day was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, but I found myself tied to a chair in a dark, moldy basement, a burlap sack ripped from my head. The kidnapper held my phone, reading my fiancé Ethan Riley' s name, demanding a thirty-million-dollar ransom. Desperate, I called Ethan, but his line was busy-forty-nine times. On the fiftieth try, the kidnapper lost his patience, breaking my ribs with a punch, calling me "useless." The physical pain was nothing compared to the cold dread that settled in my heart. Why was he so busy? A week ago, Ethan paid a thirty-million-dollar ransom for his childhood friend, Chloe Davis, without hesitation, abandoning me at our wedding rehearsal to deliver the money himself. Then, a video message from Chloe lit up my phone, which the kidnapper held to my face. Chloe smiled, cooing, "Sorry, Sarah, Ethan's a little busy right now. He's putting my shoes on for me." The camera panned to Ethan, kneeling, gently sliding a crystal-heeled shoe onto her foot. But it wasn' t his devotion that shattered me; it was the dress Chloe was wearing – my wedding dress, the one my mother had made for me. A white-hot rage surged through me. I screamed for the phone, but the kidnapper smashed it, severing my last connection to Ethan. He then dialed Ethan on his burner phone, putting it on speaker, and calmly declared a new ransom: "One dollar. For every time he doesn't answer, I cut off a finger." On the fourth ring, Chloe answered, her voice dripping with fake concern. "Oh, Sarah," she sighed, "You have the worst timing. Ethan's busy getting a band-aid for me." I screamed, "I've been kidnapped! Tell him I've been kidnapped!" Chloe laughed, calling me dramatic. Then, Ethan' s voice, cold and impatient, filled the silence. "Sarah? What is this? Chloe said you're playing some kind of game. Kidnapped? Again? This is a new low, even for you." He hung up. The kidnapper reached for my hand. "Well, it looks like he didn't answer." He severed my pinky finger with rusty pliers. The blinding pain made my world tilt. I begged him to video call Ethan, just so he could see. Ethan appeared, annoyed, with Chloe beside him, dabbing a tiny scratch on her foot. He called me a liar, manipulative, and selfish, accusing me of trying to ruin their wedding. I showed him my mutilated hand, the bloody stump where my pinky used to be. For a second, he hesitated, a flicker of horror in his eyes. But then Chloe shrieked, "That is disgusting, Sarah! Where did you get that fake movie prop?" She sobbed dramatically into Ethan' s chest. His brief doubt vanished, replaced by a storm of protective rage directed at me. "Look what you've done," he snarled. "You're making Chloe cry. All you do is cause pain. You're a monster." He hung up, telling me never to call again. The kidnapper picked up the pliers again, eyeing my ring finger. "Let's get rid of this one next." My ring finger, the one holding all my broken promises, was severed. Then, he live-streamed my torture to the world, revealing me – Sarah Miller, Ethan Riley' s supposed fiancée – bruised, bloody, and broken. Comments flooded the screen: "Fake," "Awesome special effects!" until people recognized me. The kidnapper cursed, ending the feed, but then showed me another video: Ethan and Chloe, at our wedding venue, getting married. Chloe in my dress. Ethan' s voice, clear and steady, saying, "I do." My world went black.

I was Ellie Vance, living a quiet life, secretly the Grand Lumina, wielding immense power I called The Radiance. For years, I poured my very essence into Michael Thorne, elevating his career, believing our deep love meant a future as husband and wife. Then, I overheard him plotting his political marriage to Victoria Ashworth, and the horrifying truth hit me: I was merely his "Pure Spring essence," a convenient resource to be exploited, dismissed, and discarded. The betrayal was a relentless, agonizing assault: Michael left me to nearly drown for Victoria' s feigned stumble, physically forced my healing blood from my arm for her, and let her flaunt the Heartstone Locket he' d given only to me. He watched while his friends mocked me, then heartlessly tore the treasured bracelet he' d made for me from my wrist to buy her a trinket. Finally, he callously struck me, leaving me bruised and trapped after fabricating an attack, instantly believing Victoria' s vile lies. How could the man I loved and sacrificed everything for be so utterly blind, so profoundly callous, so unspeakably cruel? My unwavering devotion, my secret, immense power, my very identity, had all been meticulously used as a mere stepping stone for his ambition, reducing me to a disposable tool. But the pain, the incandescent rage, the profound destruction of my world, forged an unyielding strength within me. No longer just timid Ellie Vance, I returned to the High Sanctum, severing every last emotional thread binding me to Michael Thorne. I strode into his lavish wedding, not as The Grand Lumina, but as the "simple Ellie" he so disdained, utterly prepared to shatter his carefully constructed facade. My name is Elara, and from the ashes of his monumental betrayal, my true ascension had just begun.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.
