After three years of marriage, he abandoned her, but treated Maria Harris like a treasure. He ignored her and treated her harshly. Their marriage was like a cage. Linda Abels is very patient, because she loves Shane Harvey deeply! Until it rained heavily that night, he left her pregnant and flew abroad to accompany Maria', while Linda's legs were bleeding and she crawled out to call an ambulance... She finally breathed a sigh of relief: some people's hearts can never be covered. Linda wrote down the divorce agreement and left quietly. ... Two years later, Linda came back with countless suitors around her. Her scum ex-husband pressed her on the door panel and forced her step by step: "Mrs. Linda, I haven't signed yet! Don't want to be good to others!" Linda smiled and said lightly, "Mr. Shane, we have nothing to do with each other!" The man's eyes were slightly red, and he tremblingly said his vow when he got married: "Linda will never leave him in his life, and divorce is prohibited!"

A New Beginning After Divorce Chapter 1 Shattered Reflections

Linda Adams grappled with a disquieting question: was she living a lie? The evidence lay in her two mobile phones, a stark symbol of her divided life.

As Shane Harvey showered, a notification flashed across one screen – a selfie from his mistress.

The girl's youth was undeniable, her beauty striking. But the opulent clothing seemed to swallow her, creating an air of unease.

"[Mr. Shane, thank you for my birthday gift,]" the message read.

Linda stared, a knot tightening in her stomach. She'd long suspected another woman, but the girl's youth and naivete were a surprise, revealing a disturbing preference in her husband. A wave of sadness washed over her, mingled with guilt at intruding on his private world.

The bathroom door clicked open.

Shane emerged, droplets clinging to his sculpted physique. The white bathrobe highlighted his strong chest and defined abdominal muscles, a display of raw sensuality.

"Still looking?" he questioned, a hint of impatience in his tone.

He casually plucked the phone from her hand, his expression devoid of any embarrassment at being caught. Linda knew his confidence stemmed from his financial power; she was entirely dependent on him. Before their marriage, she'd been a celebrated violinist, a life now exchanged for domesticity.

The photo itself was insignificant. Her focus was elsewhere.

"Shane, there's something I need to discuss," she blurted as he moved to leave.

He paused, fastening his belt, his gaze lingering on her form. A flicker of desire crossed his face, perhaps recalling her submissive nature in bed. "Another round?" he murmured.

But such moments were fleeting, purely physical.

He had never truly valued her, their marriage a consequence of circumstance, not affection.

Shane's eyes wandered to a Patek Philippe watch on the dresser. Strapping it to his wrist, he said dismissively, "I have five minutes. The driver's waiting."

Linda knew his destination. "Shane," she said, her voice trembling, "I want to work."

His eyebrows arched. "Work?"

He stared at her, weighing her words. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a checkbook, scribbled an amount, and tore off the slip. "Isn't being a housewife enough? Work isn't for you."

He turned to leave.

Desperate, Linda followed, her pride eroding. "I'm not afraid of hard work! I want to play the violin again..."

He cut her off, his patience gone.

In his eyes, Linda was a delicate ornament, unsuited for the rigors of the world. He couldn't fathom her independent, struggling.

Shane glanced at his watch. "Time's up."

He walked out, leaving Linda grasping at the doorframe, pleading, "My father's birthday is Saturday. Will you come?"

He hesitated. "We'll see."

The door closed, the car starting moments later, the sound fading into the distance.

Shortly after, the maid appeared.

Sensing the distance between husband and wife, she acted as an intermediary. "Sir is going to California for a few days on business. And a batch of his laundry arrived. Would you like to send it out, or will you wash and iron it yourself?"

Linda sank onto the sofa, defeated.

Finally gathering herself, she whispered, "I'll wash it."

Shane disliked the chemical scent of dry cleaning. All of his garments, from suits to coats, were meticulously cared for by her hands.

His expectations extended beyond laundry.

He found outside food unpalatable and disliked clutter. Linda had become adept at cooking, organizing, flower arranging – a paragon of domestic perfection.

Her life had become solely defined by Shane.

Yet, his love remained elusive.

Linda stared at the check in her hand.

Her family's misfortunes – her brother's legal troubles, her father's expensive illness – had drained their resources. Her aunt constantly reminded her to extract more from Shane.

"He's the CEO of shane's Pharmaceutical, with billions at his disposal... Linda, you're his wife. What's his is yours!"

Linda managed a bitter smile.

He barely saw her. Their marriage was based on sex, not love. He even ensured she couldn't conceive, always reminding her to take her pills.

Yes, the pills.

Linda reached for the medication, swallowed one dryly.

Then, she opened a hidden drawer, revealing a thick diary filled with the girlish adoration of an 18-year-old Linda Adams–

Six years of loving him, completely and utterly.

Linda closed her eyes, a wave of despair washing over her.

Linda's wait for Shane proved futile. A major crisis struck the Adam's family on Friday night.

Reports indicated that Colt Adams, son of the Adam's family, faced a potential ten-year sentence due to financial crimes involving the Adams Group.

Such a lengthy sentence threatened to ruin his life.

That same night, Linda's father suffered a severe cerebral hemorrhage and was rushed to the hospital, needing immediate surgery.

Standing in the sterile hospital hallway,Linda frantically called Shane repeatedly, only to be met with silence. Just as despair began to set in, a WhatsApp message arrived from Shane.

His message, as always, was brief.

[Still in California. Contact Secretary Esther for assistance.]

Linda tried calling again. This time,Shane answered. "Shane, my father..." she began urgently.

Shane cut her off.

A hint of impatience laced his tone: "Do you need money? I've told you repeatedly, if it's an urgent matter involving funds, contact Secretary Esther... Linda, are you listening?"

......

Linda stared blankly at the electronic screen displaying the news.

[Shane's Pharmaceutical Group CEO Spends Extravagantly, Shutting Down Disney and Orchestrating a Firework Display for a Beauty's Delight.]

The screen showed a brilliant display of fireworks lighting up the sky.

A young woman, seated in a wheelchair, smiled sweetly. Standing behind her was her husband, Shane... He held his phone to his ear, seemingly engrossed in a conversation.

Linda blinked slowly, trying to comprehend what she was seeing.

After a long, drawn-out pause, her voice cracked as she asked, "Shane, where are you?"

He hesitated on the other end, sounding displeased by her inquiry, but replied dismissively, "Still busy. If there's nothing important, I'm hanging up. Contact Secretary Esther."

He failed to notice the tremble in her voice, his gaze instead fixated on the woman before him... his expression gentle, unusually gentle.

Linda's vision blurred with tears.

So, that's what Shane's gentle side looked like.

From behind, her stepmother, Beatrice Adams, approached, her voice filled with anxiety: "Have you reached Shane? Linda, you must get Shane to help with this..."

Beatrice's words faltered as she, too, noticed the scene unfolding on the screen.

After a long, quiet moment, Beatrice found her voice: "He's in California again? I just can't believe it, Linda. When Shane was in a coma, this woman, Maria Harris, woke him up with a violin? Even if that's true, is this an appropriate way to repay her?"

"He doesn't even remember your birthday!"

......

The more Aunt Beatrice spoke, the more agitated she became. The dire situation of the Adams family made her cry out in frustration. "But Linda... you have to endure this. Don't cause trouble with Shane now of all times."

Linda clenched her fists, her nails digging into her skin, but she felt no pain.

Cause trouble with Shane?

She wouldn't. Not because she understood the gravity of the situation as his wife, but because she lacked the standing to do so.

Without love, her title was meaningless.

She fixed her gaze on the fireworks illuminating the sky and whispered, "So many fireworks... they must have cost a fortune!"

Beatrice didn't understand her meaning.

Linda lowered her eyes and began dialing Secretary Esther's number.

Calling so late, disturbing someone's sleep, was never appreciated.

Secretary Esther, having worked with Shane for a considerable time, held a privileged position. Aware of Shane's indifference toward his wife, she answered Linda with a cold, almost aggressive tone.

"Mrs. Linda, you need to submit an application first and have Mr. Shane sign it before you can receive any funds."

"Just like the jewelry you wear; you need to register to use it."

"Mrs. Linda, do you understand what I'm saying?"

......

Linda hung up the phone.

Her head hung low. After a long pause, she looked at her reflection in the glass... then gently raised her hand.

On her slender ring finger sat her diamond wedding ring.

It was the only thing she possessed that didn't require Shane's approval or registration with his secretary... How pathetic was she, Mrs. Linda!

Linda blinked in a daze and whispered, "Help me find someone to sell the wedding ring!"

Beatrice stared, bewildered: "Linda, are you crazy?"

Linda said slowly turned around. In the empty hall, her footsteps echoed with loneliness... After a few steps, Linda stopped and said softly, but firmly, "Aunt Beatrice, I'm sober! I've never been so sober."

She wanted a divorce from Shane.

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.

The Pierre Hotel smelled of old money and stale ambition, but all I could taste was the copper of my own rage. I stood in the back of the ballroom, a "mute" shadow in a silk dress, watching my sister Brande play the grieving saint on stage. She wiped away a fake tear, telling the crowd I was too "unstable" to attend my own engagement party. In reality, I was watching her share a secret, intimate squeeze with my fiancé, Chase Sterling, right under the blinding spotlight. When I finally hit "execute" and projected the video of them together in a hotel suite for the entire elite crowd to see, the room went cold. But the nightmare was just beginning. Instead of apologizing, my father crushed his scotch glass and told me to fix the mess. He demanded I issue a public statement claiming I had a mental breakdown and "hallucinated" the whole thing. "If you don't corroborate the Deepfake story, I'll have you committed to a facility with barred windows," he hissed. Brande just smirked from the corner, mocking me for being a "mute waste of space" who didn't even realize my own trust fund had paid for the diamonds around her neck. I realized then that in this family, silence wasn't a disability—it was a target. They thought because I didn't speak, I didn't have a voice. They thought they could use my silence to bury the truth and save their precious stock prices. They were wrong. I didn't just leak a video; I had the keys to every secret they ever tried to hide. I walked out of that hotel and straight into the black sedan of Julian Curtis, my father’s most ruthless rival and the only man who knew what really happened the night of the blizzard in Aspen. I handed him the encrypted files that would trigger a hostile takeover of my family’s empire. As the city blurred past, I looked at the man who held my future in his hands and typed one final message on my phone. "I'm not here to be saved. I'm here to be the knife."

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."
