Coming out of the airport, I spread my arms wide and threw my head back. " Finally, I'm free!!" People coming and going gave me weird looks, but I didn't care! I couldn't believe I was finally freed from that demon in human skin, my ex-husband! A man who made me regret jumping into marriage too quickly! I married him believing love could be born. Maybe I was naïve, or perhaps I clung to that romantic idea that time, dedication, and patience could soften any heart, even one as cold as his. Timothy Owen was powerful, rich, and elegant, just like how I imagined my future husband should be! And I was the ideal wife in his eyes. Beautiful, well-educated, discreet. Everything fit. At first, he was distant but polite. Dinners were quiet yet respectful. He often traveled while I stayed behind, waiting for him. Whenever I was bored, I read. Each month, I thought maybe this would be the month something changed that he would look at me differently, that he would come closer. But the only time he touched me was in bed, with the sole intention of conceiving. Sex, then back to his room. No kisses, no caresses, not even eye contact. I called my cunning father and told him what was going on, but he didn't care. Timothy's mother had insisted I marry him because they were best friends and wanted to keep me close! I understood he was forced to marry me... but couldn't he see how much I loved him?! " Give him more time, he will change," his mother assured me one day. But many months passed. Twelve. Eighteen. Twenty-four. And the silence of my womb became a curse. Confused, I started undergoing tests. At first, I went to the hospital alone, in secret, wondering what was happening to me!! Timothy was my first, for goodness' sake! Later, I went with him, under his pressure. In the end, the results were definitive, infertility!! My heart shattered. I couldn't give him a child, yet he didn't even flinch, as if my pain meant nothing. It made me sad... useless as a wife. Until one day, a classmate sent me a message mocking me. " You liar! I thought you said Timothy was your husband, but it turns out he's your sister's husband! You're very shameless!!" She even sent pictures!! Timothy and Rebecca holding hands in public. What did my stepsister have that I didn't? I was the campus belle, invited by several fashion brands to model, but to please him, I rejected the offers and focused only on him. Days dragged by in silence, and I was sinking. He became colder than ever! What was I doing in his house? I overlooked his strange behavior and comforted myself with movies, games, anything. There was nothing to do about it! he didn't love me. But I wouldn't divorce him. I would wait until he did. I have my reason. And one day, he finally approached me with a paper envelope in his hand and threw it at me. " What is this?" I pretended not to know. " I want a divorce." " Ohh, I see?" I nodded and immediately reached for my bag for a pen. " Since you can't get pregnant, sign these divorce papers." " Hmmm... you're right. Wasting your time on a woman like this wasn't worth it anyway." I smiled coldly and signed the papers, making him wonder why I was happy instead of rolling on the floor begging him! Humph!! In his dreams!! " I'm glad you understand. We don't need to keep pretending with each other!" " Pretending?" My brows furrowed. " What else has this been if not a failed investment?" His words sliced my heart like knives. " Is that what I was to you? An investment?" I asked in disbelief. Seriously?

Coming out of the airport, I spread my arms wide and threw my head back. " Finally, I'm free!!" People coming and going gave me weird looks, but I didn't care!

I couldn't believe I was finally freed from that demon in human skin, my ex-husband! A man who made me regret jumping into marriage too quickly!

I married him believing love could be born. Maybe I was naïve, or perhaps I clung to that romantic idea that time, dedication, and patience could soften any heart, even one as cold as his.

Timothy Owen was powerful, rich, and elegant, just like how I imagined my future husband should be! And I was the ideal wife in his eyes.

Beautiful, well-educated, discreet. Everything fit. At first, he was distant but polite. Dinners were quiet yet respectful.

He often traveled while I stayed behind, waiting for him. Whenever I was bored, I read.

Each month, I thought maybe this would be the month something changed that he would look at me differently, that he would come closer. But the only time he touched me was in bed, with the sole intention of conceiving. Sex, then back to his room. No kisses, no caresses, not even eye contact.

Humph!! In his dreams!!

" I'm glad you understand. We don't need to keep pretending with each other!"

" Pretending?" My brows furrowed.

" What else has this been if not a failed investment?" His words sliced my heart like knives.

" Is that what I was to you? An investment?" I asked in disbelief. Seriously?

" Do you want me to lie now? All I ever wanted was an heir. A child with my name, my features, my blood. If you can't give me that, then it's over."

" Ohhh... I get it," I nodded.

" Don't worry, I've already arranged everything. You'll get a generous settlement."

" How long have you been planning this?" I needed to know!!

" Since you started crying at night, thinking I couldn't hear you. I'm not stupid."

" Is there someone else?" I asked. He didn't answer. The way he adjusted his tie and turned away said everything.

" I hope you find whatever life you're looking for. I'm done with you, Lisa." And he left.

He really left. He left me alone with the papers. So it was true. He loved my stepsister. But why? Why waste so much of my time? We'd been married almost three years... I didn't deserve this.

Many days passed. Alone in his house, I researched The Diamonds, my dream company, and started planning my journey to New York! I sold all the gifts his parents gave me, including the one he was forced to buy, very expensive! just to secure my flight fee. At least that was good; it was a long journey.

While waiting for my visa, I saw his photo in a magazine. He wasn't alone. Just as I'd heard, my stepsister stood beside him, smiling sweetly, her hand on her big stomach. Pregnant. He'd probably planned it long before throwing those papers at me. But I didn't care anymore. I was the one blinded by love and I didn't blame him for my inability to give him a child!!

He never saw me as a partner. Only as a means to an end... a tool, a vessel. And when I no longer served him, I became trash.

Good one, Timothy Owen! Just you wait!!

Well... why waste my energy on him? I would chase my dream first!!

.......

Relocating wasn't easy. I didn't plan well! I slept on the streets like a homeless person....well yeah, I was a homeless person! Until I met Sofia, my savior!! I was chasing a man who stole my peace, and she helped me catch and deal with him.

After hearing my story, out of pity, she took me to her house.

.....

" What did you mean by failing my interview?" I asked Sofia in confusion. I had been rejected for the third time by The Diamonds, the company I had always dreamed of working for. Who knew I would fall for Timothy and abandon my dream just to marry him!!

Sofia sighed. " All the documents and interviews were professional. I don't know why they rejected you."

For three years, I was the perfect, invisible wife to Bart Brown. On our third anniversary, I stood in the kitchen for four hours, preparing his favorite meal with imported truffles, only to receive a cold text command. "Crysta fainted again. Get to the hospital. Now." My rare Rh-negative blood was the only thing the Brown family valued. Bart didn't want a wife; he wanted a walking blood bank for his "sick" best friend, Crysta. While I was fainting from chronic anemia, Crysta was smirking in her hospital bed, clutching Bart's hand and mocking my "peasant" lifestyle. Even his mother treated me like a servant, demanding I vacuum the floors after I'd already offered my veins for the hundredth time. When I finally reached my breaking point and signed the divorce papers, they didn't let me go quietly. They filed a false police report, accusing me of stealing a multi-million dollar diamond necklace just to watch me crawl. I didn't understand how a family could be so heartless. I had cooked their meals, cleaned their house, and literally bled for them, yet they were determined to ruin my life the moment I stopped being useful. Did they really think I was a nobody with nowhere to go? Standing outside the hospital with a bruised wrist and nothing to my name, I didn't cry. I simply took off my cheap wedding ring and dialed a secure line I hadn't touched since the day I married him. "It's me, Dad," I whispered as a fleet of black Maybachs rounded the corner. "The extraction is a go. I'm coming home."

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
