Ex-husband pursuit: Winning her back Chapter 1 The Divorce

"Hey honey, welcome back from work," Briella said when her husband walked in.

He ignored her greeting. "Meet me at the rooftop by three o clock, we have something to discuss." He said looking around at the busy staff cleaning the mansion.

What was so special that he couldn't tell her here and now, Briella thought.

Time passed and after Briella finished inspecting the workers, she headed to the rooftop.

Sitting casually on the rooftop sofa, Hayden's eyes were fixed to his phone. Hayden, seeing that Briella had arrived, stretched his hands and handed her a brown envelope.

Briella's eyes narrowed as she took the papers, as she looked at it, The words blurred as tears pooled in her eyes, threatening to spill over.

He was divorcing her? It felt like her heart was crushed.

Her sight became blurry but she could still see the very handsome but cold man that would soon be her ex-husband.

Upon noticing that Briella was staring at him. He retorted, his voice cold and detached. "Sign the damn papers, I have signed my part. Be fast with it, I'm expecting someone special."

Briella tears finally fell. "Someone special" What was she then, a useless person? a time waster?

"There's no need for you to worry about where you'll stay after you leave here, the assets I have would be divided, you get to take Moon Villa and a compensation of 100 million dollars."

Brielle wiped her tears and asked "Is grandma aware of this divorce?

"And so what? you think that will change anything, she is dead."

Briella almost stumbled so she held the wall nearby for support, she never imagined this would happen now? And most of all she didn't know his grandma was dead, no one told her.

"Hayden," she whispered, her voice breaking. "Please... please don't do this, I beg you."

Hayden Linford looked at her, with his deep brown eyes boring her skin.

Despite the cold gaze, Briella still felt a flutter in her heart when she looked at him.

"It's done, Briella. There's nothing left to discuss."

"I still love you Hayden, please consider my feelings." Briella took the courage to walk closer to him and knelt down holding his arms.

He yanked her hands away as if she was a parasite and she fell flat on the floor

"Love?" he scoffed. "This marriage was never about love. It's been hell and a mistake I'm rectifying."

Hayden got up, "I did this because of grandma." He muttered.

"Our time together has now expired, I wasted two years with you but it was worth it, Since I found my missing ribs through you."

Briella looked at him dumbfoundedly.

"Well, Hilda will be back in New York soon, so you better leave."

Wait, Did he just say Hilda?

"Hilda Bennett?" Briella asked to clarify.

Hayden saw the shock on her face.

"Yes Hilda Bennett." He said sarcastically.

Briella couldn't believe her ears.

The name 'Hilda' hit Briella like a slap. Her best friend. The woman she'd confided in, laughed with, trusted. The betrayal cut deeper than the divorce itself. She let out a strangled laugh, the sound hollow and broken.

"Hilda Bennett? You're leaving me for her?"

Hayden didn't respond, he looked at her in disgust, adjusted his cufflinks and walked away. Briella remained on the floor, her body numb, her mind racing.

Hilda had called Hayden earlier to tell him not to bother coming to pick her up but he insisted. He checked his wrist watch, Hilda should be at the airport any moment from now.

Hayden went to his room, took a jacket and when he remembered that he forgot his car keys, he went back to the rooftop.

When he got there, he looked at the sorry state of Briella still on the ground and walked past her like she was a rag.

"You better sign the papers when I get back." With that he walked out of the rooftop

It was winter, Briella laid on the cold floor of the rooftop. She didn't mind the cold, it wasn't compared to the pain she felt in her heart.

Her heart was aching not only because of the divorce. But the person Hayden loved was Hilda, she felt like a big fool.

After these years of trying to make him fall for her, he chose Hilda.

Lost in thought, she heard a voice shouting and rushed to her side. "Madam Briella. Madam Briella are you okay?"

Briella heard the maid's troubled voice and got up.

"I'm fine, don't panic," she said, seeing the maid breathing heavily.

She stood up with the assistance of the maid and walked back inside the mansion.

That evening was Hayden's turn to host his family to dinner.

The fact that she was going to see Hayden's family tonight gave her a sense of hope, maybe she could beg his mother to help her talk to Hayden.

The preparation for the dinner began that afternoon. The villa was busy. Hayden liked to show off and so he instructed his workers to make everything perfect.

Briella loved cooking so she assisted the chef in the kitchen to take her mind off what had happened earlier.

In the evening. The Linford's family members started coming one after the other. Briella wore an apron setting up the table.

She greeted his sister who walked in but she completely ignored her. She never liked Briella. Briella looked at her dress and realized that she wasn't properly dressed so she ran upstairs to refresh up and dress well. she took her time since Hayden wasn't back yet.

As she descended down the stairs, she saw Hayden walk through the door hand in hand with Hilda. Briella halted her steps, her heart thumping.

He held her in his arms. His mom, dad and other siblings whom she didn't realize were already present and sitted I the dining table stood up to welcome them. They all hugged Hilda and welcomed her like a rare gem.

They knew that Hayden was married but still they supported him bringing home a mistress.

Briella clenched her fists, she felt pain in her heart looking at her two faced best friend. Her nails dug into her palm.

She had been friends with Hilda since she married Hayden. Briella remembered how she and Hilda first met. Hilda was so loving and caring. How could she do this?

She took a deep breath and walked back upstairs and took the divorce papers on the dressing table. Tears fell without her realizing it.

She signed the divorce papers. Took only her phone and left the mansion. When she walked out no one noticed her, they were all engrossed in their discussion, laughing heartily.

Hayden's butler suddenly rushed over to Jayden amidst the jolly environment. He was the only one with such privilege.

he whispered close to Hayden.

"Sir, Madam just left this mansion, she looked really terrible."

Hayden saw the worried look on the butler's face and he scoffed. It was about time she left.

"There was also a black Bugatti parked outside earlier, it seemed to be waiting for her." the butler added.

Briella is poor from a low class family and she's alway stucked indoors, so how could a car of such pick her up.

He stood up and excused himself.

Hilda sitting next to him asked. "What's wrong babe."

"I just want to check something," he said, kissing her cheeks.

His long legs stroded upstairs to where his security camera outlet was. And he saw a man open the car door for Briella before the car zoomed off.

He brought out his phone and called his security man stationed outside his gate.

"Find out who's the owner of that car." He ordered.

Clara Voss

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

The Discarded Heiress: Marrying My Lethal Husband

The Discarded Heiress: Marrying My Lethal Husband

Xiao Wang

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."
