The Ugly Wife Went Viral Chapter 1

I, Serena Sterling, was infamous in our social circle for being ugly.

Heavy bangs that hid my eyes, a face scattered with freckles, and clothes that never quite fit right made me unpleasant to look at.

And yet, somehow, this very appearance caught Adrian Blackwood's attention.

Even under pressure from his family, even as people mocked him for having a "taste for the ugly," he still insisted on marrying me.

In the three years that followed, he spoiled me into becoming the most envied wife in our circle.

I thought it was real love-the kind that saw past appearances and reached the soul.

Until the day I stumbled upon ninety-nine love letters in his study-and a trust document bearing another woman's name.

Only then did I realize that all his devotion had been nothing but a lie-one that turned me into a shield for the woman he truly loved.

He had never loved me.

Now that he had secured his position in the Blackwood family, he was finally free to be with her.

I didn't argue. I handed him the divorce papers, wiped away the disguise that had made me "ugly," and disappeared from his life.

......

I sat in the study, my whole body still trembling.

Until today, I had truly believed I'd found a love that went beyond appearances and reached the soul.

That belief shattered the moment I found the unlocked file sitting in front of me.

Ninety-nine letters. Every word filled with devotion.

Every single one began the same way. "To my dearest Vivian Mercer."

In them, Adrian confessed his guilt for not being able to give her a stable life, his regret over marrying someone else just to protect her, and his longing for the day he would fully control the Blackwood family and finally be with her.

Every word cut into me like a blade.

Only then did it hit me-his heart had always belonged to someone else.

Marrying me had never been about love. I was just a convenient shield against the open and hidden attacks within his family.

All the humiliation, the threats, the kidnapping, the fear I endured-none of it was meant for me. I had been taking the hit for another woman.

The other document was a notarized trust agreement, listing every asset Adrian owned-real estate, shares, cash-line after line.

Every beneficiary name was the same. Vivian.

The date on it was three years ago-the day before our wedding.

That same day, I had signed a document as well.

Mine was a prenuptial agreement stating clearly that I had no claim to any of the Blackwood family's assets.

Back then, Adrian had told me the family was too complicated, that he didn't want me dragged into it.

And I believed him.

I'd even thought it was considerate of him.

The next page was a pregnancy report.

The name on it was still Vivian. The date-last week.

A chill spread through me. I remembered how, early in our marriage, Adrian had repeatedly said he didn't like children.

For three years, I had been careful every single time, making sure I never got pregnant.

It turned out, he didn't hate children. He just didn't want one with me.

I clutched the report as waves of pain twisted through my chest.

Back then, I had resented my father for interfering in my marriage. I wanted love on my own terms, so I ran away from home and deliberately made myself look unattractive.

Because of that, I was judged, rejected-discriminated against even at work.

I refused to give up, so I stayed up night after night, sketching designs, trying to prove myself through my work.

But the designs I worked so hard on were taken by my supervisor to impress his lover-and then he turned around and accused me of plagiarism.

I argued my case, only to be dismissed as a troublemaker-just because I was ugly.

At my most desperate moment, Adrian showed up. He pulled the surveillance footage and restored my draft files.

A man like him-a CEO buried in endless work-had stepped in personally to clear my name and return the credit that was rightfully mine.

It was the first time since I left home that I saw genuine admiration in someone's eyes.

I fell for him, completely and helplessly.

The day he proposed, I said yes without a second thought.

For three years, Adrian built me a perfect little utopia.

He took me to gatherings with his friends. When they looked me over with barely concealed mockery, he would lace his fingers through mine and say, "My wife is priceless."

When I stayed up late working on designs, he would walk into the study, set down a cup of warm milk, and stay with me until dawn.

When a difficult client called me a country bumpkin, he canceled the contract on the spot-even if it meant paying a hefty penalty-just to stand up for me.

"Money can be earned again. But you don't deserve to be treated like that."

And I believed him.

I thought I had finally found real love-a man who saw past appearances and loved the soul beneath.

Until those ninety-nine letters and that trust tore the illusion apart and showed me what that "love" really was.

I picked up my phone and dialed a number I hadn't touched in three years.

"Look into Adrian. And Vivian. I want everything."

Waiting for the truth felt like being slowly carved apart.

Memories from the past three years kept replaying in my mind.

He had stood up for me and offended several members in the Blackwood family. After that, I became their target-followed when I went out, my car tampered with, more than once coming close to losing my life.

I thought that was the price I had to pay for love.

But it had all been part of his calculation.

The email came quickly. The attachments were thorough.

The infighting within the Blackwood family was brutal. Adrian's uncles had all been searching for his weakness.

So he hid Vivian in the shadows-and pushed me, the ugly and easy-to-control wife, into the spotlight.

As "Mrs. Blackwood," I took every open attack, every scheme, every insult meant for her.

Meanwhile, Vivian stayed safe under his protection-carrying his child.

So it wasn't that he was noble enough to overlook my appearance. It was that my ugliness was exactly what he needed.

Those three years of marriage-from beginning to end-had been nothing but a carefully crafted lie.

I turned off my phone and sat in the dark for a long, long time.

Only when my body had gone stiff did I finally stand and walk to the mirror.

I looked at the unfamiliar, ugly face staring back at me-and suddenly, I smiled.

The smile lingered... until tears began to fall.

He had spent the past three years putting on an act. It must have been exhausting.

I would set him free.

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.

Abandoned Ex-Wife: Now Untouchable

Tao Yaoyao

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.
