"I broke up with Jiang Chen in the year he loved me the most. He repeatedly told his friends that the person he wanted to marry was his 'white moonlight.' Our eight years together became an unprecedented joke. My child was cruelly harmed by his 'white moonlight.' Yet, he coldly pushed me away, saying he had never seen someone as scheming as I was, using an imaginary child to frame others.

Chapter 1 No Certificate Today, Then We Break Up!

I broke up with Darren Fuller during the year he loved me the most.

He always told his friends that the person he wanted to marry was his first love.

The eight years we spent together became the biggest joke.

My child was cruelly killed by his first love.

Yet, he coldly pushed me away, saying he'd never seen someone as manipulative as me, using a non-existent child to frame his first love.

When I walked down the aisle with someone else, he cried and begged me. "I stayed by your side for eight years. How could you suddenly marry another man?"

Darren and I had been together for eight years, and we had agreed to get our marriage certificate on my 25th birthday.

This was also the fourth time I had been stood up.

Darren repeatedly assured me that we would definitely get the certificate on my birthday.

But once again, he broke his promise.

I waited at the courthouse all day, until 3 PM, making countless calls, none of which went through.

In that moment, my heart turned cold.

Something dark started to grow inside me.

I scrolled through my Facebook, trying to find some clues, but instead, I stumbled upon unexpected news.

Kelsey Gibson had returned to the country.

She was Darren's first love, the woman he had held in his heart for years.

In the picture, Kelsey was pushing a suitcase, and behind her, a man was holding a little girl. Although I couldn't see the man's face, I recognized the watch on his wrist.

It was a PASHA DE Cartier, the watch I bought for Darren with my first bonus. He loved it and wore it for many years.

I tried to deceive myself, thinking it wasn't Darren, just someone with the same watch.

But after being stood up for the fifth time, I couldn't help but feel suffocated.

I sent Darren a message.

Darren, if we don't get the certificate today, then let's not get married!

Late into the night, I heard the door creak open.

I turned my back to the door, pretending to be asleep.

Darren changed into his pajamas and lay down beside me, kissing my neck.

I struggled to move away, not wanting him to touch me.

Darren chuckled softly. "Still mad at me? There was an urgent issue at work today, something that could make or break the company, so I couldn't make it to get the certificate. Can we do it another day?"

I'm tired of waiting. I don't want to wait anymore. Let's break up.

In the dark, my face was expressionless, and my voice was cold.

A gleaming diamond necklace fell in front of me, but it wasn't what I wanted.

I got it from an auction. Do you like it? How about wearing it at the wedding?

Seeing him eager to please me, I softened.

After all, I had waited eight years, and I couldn't accept that everything I invested would go down the drain now that Kelsey was back.

When do you plan to get the certificate?

Friday. I asked someone, and Friday is a lucky day, perfect for getting the certificate.

Darren sounded serious, as if he wasn't joking.

What if you stand me up again?

Darren kissed my earlobe. "Then you can do whatever you want to me. You can punish me however you like."

I wasn't in the mood for his teasing and avoided his kiss. "If you stand me up again, I won't wait for you anymore. I'll pack up and go back home."

Darren kissed my cheek. "Just remember to take me with you then. Pack me up in your suitcase. I'll go through security with you."

I couldn't help but laugh and pushed him away. "Stop messing around."

I suddenly remembered how my period had been late these past few days, and I asked tentatively, "Do you prefer boys or girls?"

Darren turned on the light and looked at my stomach with caution. "Are you pregnant?"

My heart skipped a beat. I couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Aren't you happy?

Darren realized his tone was off and explained. "The company is about to go public, and I have a lot on my plate. It's not a good time to have a baby."

I was fuming, unable to accept his reasoning.

He hugged me and gently coaxed me. "We're still young, and there's plenty of time ahead of us. Once the company goes public, you can have as many kids as you want. I'm just afraid I won't be able to take care of you both right now, and I don't want you to feel neglected."

I'm not pregnant. I was just asking.

Darren breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."

I felt even worse.

He didn't want to get the certificate, nor did he want a child with me.

I still wanted to break up, but the words wouldn't come out.

Because I had invested eight years, pouring all my effort and savings into him.

Back then, when he had nothing, I gave him all my money and borrowed more from my parents to help him build his company.

I couldn't just walk away like that. I wasn't willing to give up!

The next day, I went to the hospital for a check-up.

When the results came back, I was stunned.

I really was pregnant.

But Darren wouldn't want this baby.

I didn't know what to do.

I definitely didn't want to abort it.

But if I didn't, Darren wouldn't welcome this baby!

I took out my phone and called Darren. It rang for a long time before he picked up.

Just as I was about to speak, I heard a lot of noise in the background, and then I overheard something that left me speechless.

Darren, you missed your chance with her once. Now that Kelsey is back, are you really going to let it slip away again?

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
