SWEET REVENGE (He Betrayed Me, Now He Must Pay ) Chapter 1 1

CHAPTER 1

Today, I got released for a crime I hadn't committed in the first place.

Sudden lights snap me out of my thoughts as the sound of clicking drags me back to the present.

Reporters.

Fucking reporters.

A bunch of them flooded me at once, crowding me as they took shots after shots, shouting incoherent words at me.

Words that I had to strain my ears to hear. Honestly, I wish I hadn't.

"It's Mrs. Clara, the ex of Mr. Derrick!"

Ex?

What the hell were they talking about?

I shake my head a bit, not wanting to pay them any heed as I try to push through them. Reporters and their gibbering.

"Ma'am! What do you have to say after three years?"

Where the hell are they coming from? I push harder, ducking my head to avoid more cameras.

"Are you even supposed to be out yet? The police claimed your case was rather dire. Is that so?"

Urgh, for Christ's sake, let me pass!

I try to duck further away, but a sharp pain soon stings my skull as someone mistakenly tugs at my hair.

I'm about to give them a piece of my mind when someone says something that makes me halt.

"Mrs. Clara, how do you feel about your ex-husband getting married on the day of your release?"

Huh?

Slowly, I turn around to look at the reporter who'd just spoken.

"W...what the hell did you just say?"

He wouldn't dare.

"Mr. Derrick is getting married to Ms. Florida at Saint James Cathedral as we speak. How do you feel about that? Do you consent to their marriage?" The reporter repeats, pushing her hand forward to hand me the microphone.

I blink, but I'm still standing where I'm stationed.

This is not a dream.

"You... you're lying." I force out the words. Derrick wouldn't do that to me.

He... he loves me.

The reporter clicks her tongue, digs through her bag, and slips out her device before playing a video.

..A live video of Derrick in the same church where we'd gotten married, saying vows to Florida, my best friend.

My entire being pales as I stumble a few steps back, almost about to fall, but I steady myself. Tears burned my eyes as I steadied my gaze on my husband, now passionately kissing Florida.

A sudden ache rises in my chest as I turn around.

Rage. Blind fucking rage ripples through my bones as I force my tears down. I run my fingers through my hair, and I tug at them tightly.

I've never felt this angry.

It feels as if my head.. my head..

"Mrs Clara?"

..It's about to fucking explode.

"Talk to us, do you contest Mr. Derrick's marriage to Ms. Florida?"

I needed to calm myself down.

"Mrs. Clara Anthony?"

I needed to..

My eyes snap towards a police man stationed at the front of the building, my eyes rake him before slowly landing on the gun hoisted on his waist.

I know I shouldn't, but at this point...

Sending my right leg forward, I take a step, and another, grab the gun from the officer, and soon I'm speeding across the lot like a crazed woman.

..But at this point, I'm not thinking at all.

I took the fall for that bastard.

I ruined my life for that fucking bastard.

I was in jail for that fucking bastard!

And he repays me by marrying my best friend on the day of my release?

"Taxi!" I flag down the nearest cab, not minding the growing noise from the reporters sprinting behind me.

"Saint James Cathedral."

The man nods and steps on the gas.

I hold the metal in my grip tighter.

It's my first day out in three years, and I can't even look at the roads.

||

Once the driver pulls up into the church, I dash out without thinking twice.

The cab driver yells about something concerning his payment, but I don't stop.

I can't stop.

Without even thinking twice, I pushed the double doors of the cathedral; the screeching sound had everyone on their feet in seconds, snapping their heads towards me.

"Stop this wedding!" I yell, raising the metal in my hand shakily. Murmurs fill the air as eyes turn to me. Some looked frightened, others gazed at me in pity.

My grip tightens on the gun either way.

Derrick..

My eyes burn as I match forward, my body trembling with rage. I pause some meters away from the altar, eyes locked on my husband.

..And his soon-to-be bride.

"Clara, what–"

Derrick's words are barely out before I send my hand forward, slamming the body of the gun against his head brutally.

I've never done this before, hurt anyone, but..

I stagger back.

Anger. I'm so angry.

Thick red blood spurts out as screams, Derrick's and others fill the air.

"AH!" He screams out, palms flying to his forehead where the gun got him clean.

Blood pumps out, causing Florida's eyes to widen as she instantly glares at me.

"How dare you?!" I scream, my blood pumping as I move to take another hit.

"Seize her!" Amidst the pain, my husband regains the energy to scream, and soon a pair of strong arms grabs me from behind.

I lift my feet, fighting, trashing, as violent screams after screams tear out of my lips.

"You can't do this to me, Derrick!" I shout, my eye shifting to Florida, causing yet another stab of pain.

How could she?

"You don't get to own everything." Florida seizes me up then snarls, hugging her measly bouquet closer.

"What are you waiting for? Take that bitch out of here now!"

The familiar stern voice of Mr. Anthony, Derrick's father, radiates through the air, causing the men to drag me faster.

Clicks after click were heard as people took shots of me, murmuring all horrible things.

Amidst the noise, I feel a particular gaze piercing into my forehead, and my eyes snap up, and I am met with a pair of very familiar emerald eyes.

He leans across the pillar, a cigar pinched between two fingers. Raven hair shielding almost half of his face.

But those eyes.. I could swear I've seen them before.

In an instant, I'm jolted out of my thoughts as my body is flung harshly out of the church. My knees scrape the asphalt, tearing away part of my kneecap.

"Ah!" I scream out.

Now that the adrenaline is gone, the pain hits me with a force.

My husband, whom I'd taken the fall for, was getting married to my best friend.

I will make them pay.

They will fucking pay!

"Do you, Ariella Cecilia Boone, take Dermos Salvatore to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The priest asks. I blink. I badly want to say it, badly want to scream that I am not Ariella Cecilia Boone.

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

Katie Oettgen

As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

Xiao Xiaosu

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.
