On our eighth anniversary, I found my husband on a tropical beach with his junior employee. A photo on social media showed them with a diamond ring he' d bought with our company' s money, captioned: "Paradise found with my forever love." But the moment he truly broke me was when I told him I was terminating the pregnancy and needed him there. He laughed. "You think I'm going to play along with your pathetic games?" he sneered, before rushing off to comfort his mistress. Later, in the hospital corridor, after I had gone through it all alone, he finally fell to his knees, crying and asking about "our baby." But it was too late. He and his mistress had already killed my child. So I played the part of the grieving wife. While he begged for a second chance, I quietly transferred millions to my name, gathered every last piece of evidence of his affair, and served him the final divorce papers, leaving him with nothing but a mountain of debt.

Chapter 1

Kelsey Reyes POV:

I found him. Not in our bed, not even in our city. He was on some sun-drenched beach, miles away, with her.

It was almost midnight when I got home. The city lights blurred through the car window. The apartment was cold and quiet.

My eyes landed on the bed. A scattering of red rose petals still clung to the silk sheets. A gaudy "Happy Anniversary" banner drooped slightly from the wall above our headboard.

Anniversary. Eight years since we started our tech company. Eight years since we got married.

I felt nothing. Just a dull ache behind my eyes from staring at screens all day.

I swept the petals onto the floor with a tired hand. The banner, I just ripped it down. It went into the trash without a second thought.

I collapsed onto the mattress. My body was heavy, each bone protesting.

I plugged in my phone. The screen flashed to life.

My finger brushed against the social media app. It opened.

There it was. A picture.

Him. Elias. And Dayami. His junior employee.

They were laughing, their faces close, bathed in the golden glow of a tropical sunset. Her head was tilted against his shoulder. His arm was around her waist.

The caption read: "Paradise found with my forever love." A diamond emoji shimmered next to it.

A diamond ring. On her finger.

I stared at it. My heart didn't clench. My stomach didn' t drop.

It was just... information.

Last year, a picture like this would have sent me into a spiral. I would have screamed, cried, thrown things.

Tonight, I simply pressed the power button. The screen went dark.

I closed my eyes. Sleep found me easily.

The next few days passed in a blur of silence. No calls, no texts from Elias.

Dayami' s feed, however, was vibrant. More pictures. Fine dining, private beaches, expensive watches. All paid for with company money, I knew. Our company's money.

I just scrolled past them. Each post a fresh wound, but my skin had thickened.

I called my lawyer. I told her I wanted a divorce.

I thought about the eight years. The crazy, passionate beginning. The secret wedding in Vegas.

We were so young, so in love. Or so I thought.

Now, all that was left was a hollow space. A wreckage.

Two weeks later, the divorce papers sat on my coffee table. I was reviewing them, marking clauses, making notes.

The front door burst open. Elias and Dayami walked in.

Hand in hand. Like they owned the place.

Elias stopped dead when he saw me. His face went white. Dayami, beside him, squeezed his hand tighter. A smug little smile played on her lips.

"Kelsey? What are you doing here?" Elias stammered.

"What does it look like?" My voice was flat. Emotionless.

"I thought... I thought you were still at your parents'," he mumbled. "I mean, with... with your condition and everything." He gestured vaguely at my stomach.

I just arched an eyebrow. I didn't say a word.

My silence seemed to infuriate him more than any shout ever could.

"What's with the attitude, Kelsey? You're acting like I did something wrong!" he snapped.

"Did you?" I asked, my gaze steady.

"Of course not! Dayami and I were just on a business trip. Team building, you know?" He tried to sound flippant, but his eyes darted away.

"Business trip with diamond rings and 'forever love' captions?" I picked up my phone from the table. The screen showed Dayami' s post. I held it out.

His face flushed. "That's... that's just a joke! Dayami is like a little sister to me, you know that!"

"Oh, I know," I said, my voice dripping with ice. "A very expensive little sister."

Elias threw his hands up. "Why are you always so dramatic, Kelsey? Can't you just for once be normal?"

"Normal?" I scoffed. "My definition of normal clearly differs from yours."

Dayami stepped forward, a handkerchief dabbing at her eyes. "Kelsey, please don't be mad at Elias. It was all my fault. I made him take me on that trip. I just... I needed a break. And Elias is so kind."

I ignored her. My eyes were fixed on Elias.

"I'm busy, Elias," I said, gesturing to the stack of papers. "If you could just sign these, we can both move on."

He blinked. Then his gaze fell on the document. His eyes widened.

"Divorce papers?" he whispered, his voice cracking. "Kelsey, what is this? Are you serious?"

"As a heart attack," I said. "Now, if you'll excuse me."

I went to walk past him. He grabbed my arm.

"Kelsey, wait! We need to talk about this!" His voice was a whine.

"There's nothing to talk about," I said, my voice colder than ever. "It's over."

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

One Night With The Wrong Brother

One Night With The Wrong Brother

Tangye Wanzi

I thought I was waking up in the arms of Arthur, the man I loved. But as the morning light hit the Hamptons estate, the man buttoning his cuffs by the window turned around with eyes like chips of ice. It was Augustus Riddle, Arthur’s cruel younger brother, and I had just spent the night whispering confessions of love into the wrong man's ear. The night I thought was a beautiful beginning turned into a devastating nightmare. Instead of comfort, Gus treated me like a stain on his expensive carpet, scribbling a check for "services rendered" before shoving me into a dark service corridor to hide my existence from his brother. "How much does it cost to buy your silence?" He sneered, before leaving me barefoot in a torrential downpour while he drove away in a luxury Cadillac. Four years later, I am a struggling actress in Los Angeles, working double shifts as a barista just to keep the lights on. My life was finally stable until my roommate dragged me to a high-end dinner to meet her new "influential" boyfriend. The man sitting at the table, looking more arrogant and lethal than ever, was Augustus. He spent the entire night humiliating me, calling me a pathetic amateur and a social climber in front of my only friends. When I fled into the rain and collapsed on the sidewalk, skinning my knee until I bled, he watched from his car. He saw me clutching a plastic baggie containing the taped-together pieces of that four-year-old check—the only proof of my shame. He looked at me like roadkill, rolled up his window, and drove off into the dark. I couldn't understand why he was doing this. Why did he hate me enough to crush me, yet remember that I couldn't handle the smell of cigarette smoke? Why did he leave me bleeding in the street, only to send expensive medical supplies and coffee to my door the very next morning? "I'm moving out." I told my roommates, realizing that Gus Riddle didn't just want to destroy me; he wanted to haunt me. I grabbed my suitcase and walked out with eighty dollars to my name, finally ready to disappear into the city before he could burn the rest of my life to the ground.
