After four years of torture in a so-called "rehabilitation center," I was finally released. My husband, Elliot, was waiting for me. He wasn't there to save me; he was there to serve me divorce papers. He and my adoptive family were convinced I was a liar. They believed my broken leg, my missing fingernails, and my scarred vocal cords were all part of an elaborate performance for attention. "Still playing the cripple," he sneered, looking at my ruined body with disgust. He tossed a handkerchief at my bleeding hand so I wouldn't stain the leather seats of his car. Back home, my perfect adoptive sister, Elyse, confessed everything with a smile. She had paid the doctors to torture me, to break my bones, to destroy my voice. When I lunged at her, my own mother called me an animal. My father prepared to sign me back into that hell permanently. They saw my pain as a performance and her cruelty as innocence. When I was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and had months to live, Elliot tore up the medical report, calling it my most pathetic lie yet.

The Billionaire's Broken, Voiceless Wife Chapter 1 Discharge

"Mr. Hardin, you're coming to pick her up now? Great, great. We'll wait for you at the entrance."

After hanging up, the doctor's obsequious smile vanished, replaced by a cold glare.

"You'd better keep your mouth shut. Know what to say and what not to say. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to bring you back in."

Amelia went pale and shook her head vigorously. "No... won't say."

Her tongue was missing a piece, making her speech halting. The doctor figured she didn't have the nerve to tell the truth anyway.

Soon, a black Rolls-Royce Cullinan pulled up slowly.

The window rolled down, revealing a strikingly handsome face.

"Get in."

At the sound of that familiar voice, she stood frozen, then slowly lifted her head to meet those dark, heavy eyes.

The name that rushed to her lips-"Elliot"-she swallowed back. "Mr.... Mr. Hardin."

The man who was legally her husband.

All that remained was that cold, distant address.

"Don't make me repeat myself."

His voice was icy, threaded with impatience.

Four years apart, and he was more commanding than ever, more devastatingly handsome-and more terrifying to her.

Once, she had chased him relentlessly for ten years, clinging and shameless, the laughingstock of the entire city.

Now, she was deathly afraid of him, desperate to avoid him at all costs.

She dropped her head and limped toward the black car, her left foot clearly off.

Elliot glanced at it, a trace of mockery in his eyes.

"Amelia, still using that trick? Playing for sympathy only works so many times. Looks like that place didn't cure your bad habits. You-"

The next moment, she began to tremble violently, her pupils contracting. Her knees gave out from standing too long, and she collapsed to the ground.

She couldn't go back! She would die there!

Her left leg had been broken years ago when she tried to escape and an orderly caught her. It had never healed properly.

These four years, she had learned her lesson. She would never compete with Elyse for anything again, never cling to the title of Mrs. Hardin.

She would give it all back!

"I'm... sorry. I know... I was wrong. Please... don't send me back in!"

"You-"

Elliot stopped mid-sentence. The old Amelia-arrogant, overbearing, ruthless-would never have apologized.

She had been insufferable, done every bad thing imaginable, climbed into his bed, forced him to marry her.

And now she was apologizing.

But wrongs had to be paid for.

"Looks like sending you there finally taught you some sense. Get in."

Amelia didn't move. She stared at the car as if it were a monster.

That was how she had been taken-forced into a car just like this and driven to Westcliff Rehabilitation Center.

Cold sweat broke out on her back. Her teeth chattered as she forced out the words, "Can... I not go?"

"I'm not asking. Get in."

Finally, she climbed in and curled into the corner, barely touching the seat, trying to take up as little space as possible.

Elliot frowned. Before he could speak, she began trembling and apologizing nonstop.

"Sorry... sorry... I got your car dirty. I'll wipe it... wipe it clean."

She knelt on the seat and started scrubbing the leather with her sleeve, even though there was no mark.

"Almost... clean. Not dirty. I'm not dirty..."

The wounds on her fingers tore open, and blood dripped onto the leather.

She grew more frantic, scrubbing harder. "I'll get it clean. Don't hit me. Don't hit..."

Elliot realized something was wrong. He told the driver to stop, got out, and pulled her out after him.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy? You-"

He stopped mid-sentence as he looked down at the hand he was gripping.

Five fingers covered in fine scars, thick with calluses, joints swollen. Not a single nail left-just bare, cracked fingertips oozing blood.

It was hard to believe these had once been a violinist's hands.

The old Amelia had been spoiled and willful, but she played beautifully. The media had called her hands "God's gift."

He frowned. "What happened to them?"

She yanked her hand back, trembling, her face deathly pale. "I... got sick. My nails... rotted and fell off."

Elliot's lips pressed together. A strange feeling stirred in his chest.

But then he remembered what she had done, and hardened his heart again.

"You'd better behave. These self-pity tactics won't work on me."

He still believed this was just another one of Amelia's schemes. Not worth sympathy.

Soon, the car wound up the hill to the Rollins family villa.

Before they even reached the door, they could hear laughter and chatter inside.

"Oh, Mom, Dad, stop teasing me. Elliot and I aren't like that."

"Elyse is shy. When it comes to feelings, they have to be mutual."

"That's right, Elyse. Don't worry. Once Elliot gets back, he'll get a divorce."

Amelia's face showed no emotion.

Her heart had already been shattered so many times it felt nothing.

So that was why they had brought her out-for the divorce.

The people in the living room turned at the sound of their arrival.

Mr. and Mrs. Rollins sat on either side of a delicate-looking young woman, doting on her.

They had been her parents for twenty years-until a routine体检 revealed she wasn't their biological child.

An investigation uncovered the truth: she was the daughter of the Rollins family's former maid, who had switched the babies out of jealousy during childbirth.

Her world collapsed. She was forced to change her name-from Amelia Rollins to Amelia Mcpherson. And the real Rollins daughter, Elyse, was brought home. Everything was returned to its rightful owner.

She had accepted her fate and gone back to her biological parents-only to discover they planned to sell her into a brothel.

She had barely escaped and fled back to the Rollins family, only to fall into another nightmare.

"Sister! You're back!"

A pair of slender arms wrapped familiarly around hers.

Elyse said warmly, "Sister, it's so good to see you! I've missed you so much these past few years. How were you in there?"

Amelia's face went white. She tried stiffly to pull her arm away, but Elyse held on tight.

Elyse leaned in close, smiling, but her voice dropped to a whisper only Amelia could hear. "Amelia, why didn't you just die in there?"

Amelia's pupils contracted. She stared at Elyse, who smiled back innocently, then let her gaze drop to Amelia's bare nail beds. Her smile widened.

"Does it hurt? No nails, no more violin for you. Oh, and I heard you tried to run. I had them break your leg so you couldn't. Happy? Every bit of suffering you went through in there-I ordered it."

Crash-

The emotions she had been holding back exploded.

With every ounce of strength she had, Amelia shoved Elyse away and lunged for her throat, her eyes wild.

"You... it was you! I knew it! You... did it on purpose!"

Four years of beatings, four years of hell-all because of Elyse!

She had been trapped in that place, unable to live, unable to die, dreaming every night of escaping.

"Sister! What's wrong with you? Cough... that hurts!"

Mr. and Mrs. Rollins rushed forward in alarm. "Amelia! What are you doing? Let go!"

A powerful force yanked her off. Her head slammed against the sharp corner of a table. Pain exploded, blood gushed, streaming down her face.

"Amelia! You're asking for it!"

On my wedding night, I waited for the fated spark. Instead, I found a fresh tattoo on my Alpha husband's chest. Beneath the ink lay a jagged bite mark. Jameson had marked Caren, the wolf-less Omega, just hours before our ceremony. When I confronted him, he called me paranoid. But the betrayal didn't stop at infidelity. On my birthday, Caren brought me "fertility tea." I smelled the metallic tang of Wolfsbane immediately—a poison deadly to our kind. I refused to touch it, but Jameson’s eyes flashed with dominance. "Drink it. That is an order." He used the Alpha Voice to force the poison down my throat. As my throat seized and I clawed at the carpet, dying, he didn't help me. When I reached for the antidote, he shoved me into the wall to protect Caren, accusing me of trying to attack her. I woke up in the hospital to the devastating news: the poison had killed our unborn pup. Yet, Jameson still shielded his mistress, baring his fangs at his own mother to keep Caren safe. He thought he could fix it. He thought he still owned me. "Sit! I command you to stay!" He roared the Alpha Command, expecting me to kneel. But his authority shattered along with my heart. I didn't just sign the divorce papers. I walked out to the parking lot under the full moon and rejected the bond, watching him collapse in agony. Then, the "broken" wolf he despised finally shifted. I rose as the legendary White Wolf, and left him howling in the dirt.

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

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.

I stood in the pouring rain at my father-in-law's funeral, the heels of my black pumps sinking into the mud. I was Mrs. Vargas, the wife of New York's most powerful billionaire, yet I was standing at the edge of the crowd like a forgotten statue. Ten feet away, under the dry shelter of the family tent, my husband Hayes held another woman against his chest. It wasn't me he was whispering comfort to; it was Felicity, his late brother's widow and childhood sweetheart. The humiliation didn't end at the cemetery. Hayes moved Felicity and her son into our home, relegating me to the guest wing while she took over the primary suites. He watched silently as her son smashed the only photograph of my deceased parents, then demanded I apologize for "scaring" the boy with my reaction. When Felicity's negligence ruined a twelve-million-dollar family heirloom, Hayes had the audacity to ask me to use my own savings to buy her a "consolation" engagement ring. He treated me like a parasite, never realizing I was a brilliant scientist with a hidden fortune and three patents to my name. I realized then that our three-year marriage was a hollow farce. Hayes had never even touched me, claiming he wanted to "remain pure" for his memory of Felicity. I was nothing more than a business merger, a smudge on the lens of the perfect family portrait he was building with another man's widow. The breaking point came during a lethal blizzard. Hayes promised to accompany me to my family's mandatory gala-a tradition where my absence meant a death sentence. But at the last second, he stood me up to stay home and tend to Felicity's stubbed toe. Left alone to face the wrath of the Santos Matriarch, I was forced to kneel in the freezing snow as punishment until my lungs began to fail and my vision blurred. Just as the darkness started to take me, a black Maybach smashed through the iron gates. My exiled brother, the man the world calls "The Wolf," stepped out of the storm to reclaim what Hayes had discarded. Hayes thought I was a helpless doll who couldn't survive a day without his trust fund, but he's about to find out what happens when you let a Santos daughter freeze.
