I Bought a Billionaire Husband Chapter 1 The other woman

Jenna's POV

I pulled the door open with a smile on my face, and Christopher, my husband walked in with a small smile on his face, and just as I was about to shut the door, a girl immediately walked in with her suitcase trailing behind her. The both of them walked into the house wordlessly

My brows knitted together, forming a frown on my face as I gently shut the door and immediately went after them.

"Is everything okay, love? You brought a friend home, is she good?" I asked in a hushed tone as I took his briefcase and his jacket from him, yet Christopher didn't say a word in response.

My eyes darted to the girl, and she looked strangely familiar, but I couldn't figure out when I had seen her before.

"Is mum back home?" I dragged my eyes away from her and shook my head.

"She'd be staying out a bit later than usual today. She has her weekly spa appointment booked today. Is everything okay? Should I call her to get home?"

He gave me a tight-lipped smile and shook his head. " Oh, I was just looking for her. There's absolutely nothing wro..."

"There is," the girl pipped in before he could finish and I raised my brows, eyes darting between her and Christopher, who suddenly looked like all the color had been drained away from his face.

"Let's wait till my mother gets back, Lilian."

The name instantly struck a chord in my head, and I could finally place a finger on her familiarity. She was his secretary, he hired her when he took over a year ago.

"Why wait? She's the one we need to tell anyway, she's the wife." I didn't miss the mock emphasis she placed on the word wife, and I narrowed my eyes.

"What is going on here, Christopher?" I asked, staring pointedly at him and he gulped. "Did anything bad happen with the business?" Over the 4 years of our marriage, Christopher has repeatedly crashed many businesses. Getting him to take over my company last year has proven to be a good idea as he has been managing it well, but it seems that has also come to an end.

My grandparents were going to have my head when they find out.

"Talk to me, Chris. Is it the business? What happened?"

"Are you going to talk or not?"

"You should not speak to my husband, your boss, in that manner." I snapped, glaring at the girl, who instantly arched a brow at my words.

"Husband...." She mumbled as if tasting the word, before a smile broke out on her face and she nodded. "Well, I'm not speaking to my boss that way, ma'am," I frowned, and glanced at Christopher, and beads of sweat had formed on his forehead, "I am speaking to my husband that way. Isn't that allowed? Considering I'm pregnant with his baby."

My vision blurred for a split second, and a humorless laugh escaped my lips. "Sorry, what?"

Christopher shuffled close to me and held my arm, a nervous smile tugging on his lips. "Baby, please...take a seat. Let's talk about this."

" You never call me baby..." I muttered, forcing my gaze away from Lilian to his face, "and you are not denying her lies."

"Baby, I..."

"Jenna. That's my name, and that's what you've called me for the last 8 years. Stick to it" he gulped and glanced at her, then back at me.

"Jenna... I can explain."

I scoffed, and tucked my bottom lip in between my teeth. "You want to explain how you got your secretary pregnant? What's your explanation? It was an accident? It was a mistake? It was just once?"

" Definitely wasn't..." I heard her mumble, and my heart sank to my stomach, but I held back the tears blurring my vision.

"Jenna, please hear me out."

My hands itched to throw the briefcase at him, to yell at him, and send him and his baby mama out of my house, but... I couldn't.

My shoulders sagged in defeat, and a sob forced it's way out of my throat, causing the tears I was desperately holding back to roll down my cheeks.

"Why? Why did you do this, Chris! Why?" He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me into his chest, "why? Why?"

"I'm sorry, Jenna. I'm so sorry. It was an accident." He placed a kiss on my forehead, his other arm running down my back in a soothing manner, while I sobbed into his chest, " I'm so sorry. I will rectify my mistake, once she gives birth,she'll leave the house, Jenna. It'll be just us, agon. I'm so sorry," he repeated as I sobbed uncontrollably into his chest.

Finally, I managed to get myself under wraps and broke away from his hold. I managed to create distance between the both of us, and wiped away the tears that had stained my face.

"Lilian, congratulations" she smiled sweetly, and her hand rubbed her belly, "Congratulations to you too, Chris. We've been trying for what? 3 years now, and there's been nothing, but it's coming through her, yeah?" his face lit up and he stared gently at her. "I am genuinely happy for the both of you..."

"Jenna, thank you for being such a good wife. I knew you'd understand"

I rubbed my lips together and smiled. Of course, I'd be called a good wife if I choose to stay with a cheating husband. "Well, the two of you won't nurse that baby in my house, neither will it be fed with the money that comes from my company," his eyes slowly widened and a strange satisfaction curled at the pit of my stomach, "I want the both of you out of my company and my house right now, get your mother's things while at it."

Christopher scoffed, "what are you saying, Jenna? Are you fucking being for real? I said it was an accident! It wasn't supposed to get to this!"

"You can shove that excuse up your ass, Chris. I've borne your bullshit for the past 8 years, but bringing back a pregnant woman for me to take care of, in my house, with my money? That, I will not take. Get. out. of my house."

He ran his hand through his head and exhaled loudly. "Ah, I knew I shouldn't have tried to be nice with this," he muttered underneath his breath and I arched a brow.

"Sorry?"

"Listen, you are practically barren," it felt like I was suddenly dealt a heavy blow, and my breath was instantly sapped out of me. "We've been trying for 3 years, heck, 8 years and nothing has happened. You can't blame me for going out to get a child. You know how much I want one and you've deprived me of it with your inhospitable environment..."

" Christopher.."

" You should be fucking grateful that I'm willing to let you raise this child. Women like you who don't, sorry, who CAN'T bear..."

The rest of his words were drowned out by a smack, and he held his cheek, eyes wide with shock.

" How dare you? How dare you speak about me like that!" I yelled, "I am..."

"Get out,"

I drew back, "excuse me?"

"I said you should leave. Get. Out."

"It's my house," I said, my voice shaky from all the unshed tears, " you should leave."

He laughed and reached for his briefcase that was now on the floor. "You bought this house in my name, Jenna, it's mine" he threw the papers in my face and my eyes widened.

I stared at the papers that had pooled around my feet, and I took a shaky breath while I pulled my head up to look at him. "Fine, I'll go... but, I want you out of my company as well."

"What company? The one you transferred ownership to me?"

"I never..." I inhaled sharply as the memories came rushing back to me. 6 months ago, he somehow managed to convince me to transfer ownership to him because he was being looked down on, and... I did.

A satisfied smile curled up on his face, and he walked over to the sofa and made himself comfortable. "I tried to play it nice with you, but you decided to play the rich brat " He chuckled, crossing a leg over the other. "How does it feel to be penniless now? How will grandpa and grandma feel knowing their legacy doesn't belong to them anymore?" He threw his head back and laughed.

"The choice is yours, Jenna. You can play the rich man's wife and take care of my baby, so your grandparents can pass away in peace or you can walk out of my house right now and never come back."

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.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan

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.
