A sharp, stabbing pain woke me. 3:17 AM. Alone. I reached for my husband, Mark, but he wasn' t there. My desperate call for help was answered by Lily, his goddaughter, her voice laced with annoyance. "Mark is busy. Eleanor isn' t feeling well, so he's here with me." I tried to explain about the emergency, the searing pain in my abdomen. She dismissed it as drama and hung up. Abandoned, I crawled to the phone and dialed 911, whispering, "I think I'm dying." At the hospital, the doctor' s grim face confirmed my worst fear: a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. I was bleeding internally and needed emergency surgery. Alone, I signed the consent form, my hand trembling, tears blurring Sarah Miller into a solitary figure. When I reached Mark hours later, fresh out of surgery and groggy from anesthesia, his words were cold, clipped. "What is it now, Sarah?" Before I could explain, Lily's frantic voice in the background cut me off. "Mark, come quick! Mom\'s monitor is beeping again!" He hung up, choosing her over me, over our lost baby, over my near-death experience. The love I thought was unbreakable shattered into a million pieces. The next morning, lying in the hospital bed, a cold, hard clarity settled over me. I had to make him understand. I sent him my medical reports, hoping the undeniable proof would cut through his blindness. His reply, however, sealed my fate: "Sarah, this has gone too far. Using a fake medical report to guilt-trip me is a new low." He called me manipulative, a liar. He chose her over me, again. The fight drained out of me. I typed one word: "Okay." It was over. I knew, with a certainty that chilled me to the bone, that I was done.

Introduction

A sharp, stabbing pain woke me.

3:17 AM. Alone.

I reached for my husband, Mark, but he wasn' t there.

My desperate call for help was answered by Lily, his goddaughter, her voice laced with annoyance.

"Mark is busy. Eleanor isn' t feeling well, so he's here with me."

I tried to explain about the emergency, the searing pain in my abdomen.

She dismissed it as drama and hung up.

Abandoned, I crawled to the phone and dialed 911, whispering, "I think I'm dying."

At the hospital, the doctor' s grim face confirmed my worst fear: a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.

I was bleeding internally and needed emergency surgery.

Alone, I signed the consent form, my hand trembling, tears blurring Sarah Miller into a solitary figure.

When I reached Mark hours later, fresh out of surgery and groggy from anesthesia, his words were cold, clipped.

"What is it now, Sarah?"

Before I could explain, Lily's frantic voice in the background cut me off.

"Mark, come quick! Mom\'s monitor is beeping again!"

He hung up, choosing her over me, over our lost baby, over my near-death experience.

The love I thought was unbreakable shattered into a million pieces.

The next morning, lying in the hospital bed, a cold, hard clarity settled over me.

I had to make him understand.

I sent him my medical reports, hoping the undeniable proof would cut through his blindness.

His reply, however, sealed my fate: "Sarah, this has gone too far. Using a fake medical report to guilt-trip me is a new low."

He called me manipulative, a liar. He chose her over me, again.

The fight drained out of me.

I typed one word: "Okay."

It was over.

I knew, with a certainty that chilled me to the bone, that I was done.

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.
