I chased after Jake Burton for eight years, only to break up with him when I saw he had saved his ex-girlfriend's contact as "Baby." Her name was Janet Flynn. "Just because I forgot to change the contact name?" I stared at Jake's mocking smile and nodded. His friends said I was narrow-minded and overreacted, but I just kept my gaze on Jake without saying a word. Jake's dark eyes seemed to be covered with frost. After a moment, he simply sneered, "Fine. Let's break up. Just don't come back to me and cry to plead with me to get back together." Everyone in the room erupted in laughter. I pushed open the door, clutched the pathology report in my coat pocket, and walked into the night. I had wanted to weave a beautiful dream for the last moments of my life. But I shouldn't force love. It was even more bitter than the medicine I took.

Chapter 1

I chased after Jake Burton for eight years, only to break up with him when I saw he had saved his ex-girlfriend's contact as "Baby." Her name was Janet Flynn.

"Just because I forgot to change the contact name?"

I stared at Jake's mocking smile and nodded.

His friends said I was narrow-minded and overreacted, but I just kept my gaze on Jake without saying a word.

Jake's dark eyes seemed to be covered with frost. After a moment, he simply sneered, "Fine. Let's break up. Just don't come back to me and cry to plead with me to get back together."

Everyone in the room erupted in laughter.

I pushed open the door, clutched the pathology report in my coat pocket, and walked into the night.

I had wanted to weave a beautiful dream for the last moments of my life.

But I shouldn't force love. It was even more bitter than the medicine I took.

So I decided to end the relationship between Jake and me.

1.

"Jake, why don't you call Janet and tell her you miss her?"

At Jake's company celebration party, a young employee called his ex-girlfriend and wanted to get back together with her after he was emboldened by alcohol.

Mack shouted for Jake to call Janet at that moment. He seemed to have drunk a lot as well.

Jake opened his slightly drunken eyes and laughed and let them get lost.

It didn't have much impact. The crowd egged him on even more. One daring person teased, "Make the call and say we all miss your girlfriend."

The other company employees looked at me, puzzled.

Jake's girlfriend was publicly me now, so who was the girlfriend they were talking about?

They were confused but hesitant to ask. I raised my glass, took a big gulp, and swallowed the bitter liquid down my throat.

I had a crush on Jake for six years, dated him for two, but I still couldn't get his friends' recognition.

Mack glanced at me with bad intentions and said, "I dare not call Janet because someone is here, Jake?"

Jake chuckled and said, "What dare I not do?"

He took out his phone, dialed the number saved under "Baby."

Mack jeered again. "Oh, it's still Baby. Jake, you're quite shameless!"

Seeing the contact name, I was a little sad.

I had dated Jake for two years, but he always saved my number as the cold and distant name, Jenna Reed.

I thought he wasn't the type for romantic surprises.

Now he seemed only be tender to another woman.

The room fell into a silence, leaving only the anxious beeping of the phone, echoing with a suspenseful pause.

Watching Jake's tense expression and slightly curved lips, I suddenly lost my interest.

The call was answered as expected. The voice on the other end was sweet and playful with a slight anger. "It's early morning here. Why are you calling me? I was still sleeping."

Jake's voice was hoarse, "Who are you sleeping with?"

"Why do you care? Who are you to me, anyway?"

Jake tossed the phone onto the table, lit a cigarette, and let others see the contact name and hear the voice.

Indeed, Jake had never hidden his affection.

The smoke from his lips drifted slowly upwards, and his voice was soaked in alcohol. He said with a smile, "It's the concern from your ex-boyfriend."

Mack shouted into the phone with a mischievous tone, "Janet, Jake misses you, hahh!"

"Hmph, then keep missing me. Bye."

Even after the call ended, Jake's friends continued to tease him.

I downed another glass of liquor, and the burning feeling reached my stomach. White liquor was bitter, but not as bitter as a forced relationship.

I stood up and said, "Jake, let's break up."

The once lively room fell silent as the grave, and three seconds later, it exploded into chaos.

Almost everyone was criticizing me.

"Jenna, don't be so narrow-minded. It was just a phone call. Why do you overreact like this?"

"Don't embarrass yourself. Jake doesn't like women who causes trouble. You've been chasing him for years. Don't provoke him."

Mack laughed mockingly. "You are just a stand-in. Are you thinking you could turn the tables?"

I kept my gaze fixed on Jake without speaking. Jake looked at me for a short moment, but I didn't change my mind. His dark eyes were filled with frost briefly. But he just sneered, "Fine. Let's break up. Just don't come back to me and cry to ask to get back together."

The room erupted in laughter.

"Jake, you are so confident, huh?"

Jake swirled his glass and said coldly, "She can't go through without me."

The crowd egged him on even more. I clutched the diagnosis report inside my pocket and walked into the night.

Fate had taught me how to live alone after my parents passed away.

Now, fate would use my death to show Jake that I could go through without him.

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.

THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: MARRY TO RIVAL'S SON

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?
