BACK OFF EX-HUSBAND, I'M MARRIED TO YOUR RIVAL NOW. Chapter 1 SURPRISE GONE WRONG

In the fifth year of my marriage, on the day of the Gates family banquet, I asked my husband for a divorce.

"What? You want to divorce me, all because I acted like Lill's husband?" Richard asked, frowning in confusion.

"Lilly. How affectionately he said her name," I said to myself, smiling. Lillian was his brother's wife.

I smiled coldly. "I have had enough of these two pretenders. Yeah. That's why."

Two days ago, on what was supposed to be our fifth wedding anniversary, I had planned to surprise Richard, so I took a flight to the city where he was working. Instead of the warm reunion I had expected, I overheard him chatting with his friends.

"Richard, I really think you are being unfair to your wife, running off every year on your anniversary? That's not right at all. Your wife has been nothing but good to you. So why treat her this way?"

My husband, who was usually composed and gentlemanly, looked disturbed. "You think I want this for myself too? If I don't avoid her, then she will never believe I haven't touched her for the five years we've been married. That's the only way to convince her.

"She? You mean Lillian? Richard, are you out of your mind? Don't tell me you have not had sex with your wife for years because of Lillian? Are you going to keep pining for her even though she's married to your brother, and they already have a child together?"

"And what about your wife? You keep taking her for granted over and over again, because you are obsessed with your brother's wife? Ain't you afraid that your wife's powerful family will come after you, once she complains about you to them?"

Richard snorted. "They won't," he said confidently, rubbing his hands together. "She married me, even though they were against the marriage. And she has not spoken to them for years. I lied to my wife about being impotent just to avoid touching her. I also paid the doctor to write a fake medical report for me."

I almost fell to the ground. Richard had been lying to me all these years about being impotent? While secretly having an affair with his brother's wife. I walked away quietly, my feet shaking and my fingers trembling.

I had suspected Richard was cheating on me. I had even asked around and tried to find out who the other woman was, but no one was willing to talk to me. I had guessed many possibilities, but never in my wildest dreams had I thought it would be Lillian, my sister-in-law. His own brother's wife.

The same person I had complained to about my husband's suspicious behavior was the same person he was cheating on me with. How worse could my life get?

When I left the club, the sky opened up. I did not react as the rain drenched me; I was broken beyond words.

That same night, I took a flight back to Northvale.

The moment I got home, I was already sick. I was rushed to the hospital straight from the airport. I had to stay at the hospital for two days, and Richard never showed up. He had already sent me a message about how work was keeping him busy.

One week later, after I had recovered from my illness and was still nursing my heartbreak, Maurice's burial was held in Northvale. We were invited back to the Gates Residence.

I had barely had enough sleep since I discovered Richard's secret. After the funeral, as I stepped out of the cemetery, it was as though my body moved forward while my soul dragged behind. I couldn't wait to get out of there.

My driver was already waiting for me outside the cemetery. I entered the car and closed my eyes, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

"Take me back home," I told the driver.

"Madam, are we not going back to the Gates Residence?"

"No, drive."

I knew the burial was over, but the drama at the Gates had just begun, and I didn't want to be a part of it.

Maurice was the golden son of the Gates family. And his death was a tragic one. He died because of Lillian's selfishness. Lillian had insisted they go hiking on the mountain, and he had fallen to his death. His body was broken into pieces.

The Gates blamed Lillian for his death, and their anger towards her was still fresh. And also, I had no interest in watching my husband defend another woman. I still had to contact my lawyer about the divorce.

Unexpectedly, as the driver started driving off, someone knocked on the rear window. Richard stood there smiling. He was dressed in a well-tailored black suit.

"Honey, heading home already?"

I nodded. I barely looked up before spotting Lillian beside him; she was holding her daughter. The daughter she had with Maurice, the girl should be about five or six years old.

Before I could ask what was going on, the little girl waved at me.

"Hi, Aunty Fiona."

I smiled back at her and muttered hello. I looked at the innocent child, I bet she didn't even understand what was going on. I looked at Richard for an explanation.

He was now holding Lillian's hand. "You see, Mom and Dad are still angry with Lillian about what happened to Maurice. So I want them to stay with us for a while, till everything is sorted out."

I almost laughed, then I remembered we were still in the cemetery and many people were watching us. So now he's sending Lillian and her child to stay with us? While he faced his family?

"Whatever," I muttered.

The maids had already prepared the room next to our bedroom for Lillian and her daughter. Richard must have called ahead to prepare that particular room.

He can do whatever he wants now; I don't care anymore. After a hot bath, I collapsed on my bed and slept off. When I finally woke up, it was already dark. My phone was ringing nonstop. I checked the caller ID; it was my lawyer.

"Fiona, I have drafted the divorce papers just like you wanted. Do you want me to send it over to you first?"

"No need. Just call a courier and have it delivered to Richard's office."

"Fi, aren't you in a rush? Are you really sure you want to go ahead with this divorce?"

I sat up on my bed, playing with my hair. I'm sure I caught him jerking off to his sister-in-law's picture.

"What?" Alice screamed on the phone. "Did I just hear you correctly? That scumbag actually had the nerve to do something so disgusting."

Alice was cursing Richard under her breath. I smiled to myself-typical Alice; she had always had my back since we were kids.

"Fiona, you know what? Fuck courier. I will bring the divorce letter myself to make sure you are okay and also deal with that bastard myself."

Before I could object, Alice hung up the phone.

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband's Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn't find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn't even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father's legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn's party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara's health and managing every detail of Caden's empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I'd drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause-if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I'd forgotten.

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.

The Discarded Heiress: Marrying My Lethal Husband

The Discarded Heiress: Marrying My Lethal Husband

Xiao Wang

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."
