Too Late, Mr. CEO: Watch Me Shine
Kayla stood outside the CEO suite, holding a custom suit for her fiancé, Brennon. They had spent seven years building a tech company from a freezing garage into a billion-dollar empire. But through the cracked door, she heard the breathy laugh of Evelin, the newly hired director. Then came Brennon's low, careless voice. "The wedding's a PR milestone for the IPO, nothing more." Kayla's blood turned to ice. "She's comfortable. Makes sense on paper," Brennon continued. "But you, Evelin. You understand ambition." The betrayal hit her like a physical blow. She had written the core code that made him a billionaire. She had stayed up until 4 AM debugging while he slept on a futon. Now, he was mocking their relationship to his mistress and handing over her life's work to a woman who couldn't even read a data log. Seven years of loyalty, reduced to a PR stunt. She didn't cry. Instead, a cold, violent clarity washed over her. Why should she let him keep the crown she forged? Without a word, she pulled the three-carat diamond off her finger and dropped it into her bag. She walked out of the building, drafted her resignation, and accepted a VP position at his biggest Wall Street rival. It was time to show Brennon what happened when the real genius behind his empire decided to tear it down."Good morning carl." Her mother said touching her head.
"Good morning my love." She said.
" Mother, Mother why do I have to wake now? " Carl asked.
Her mother smiled.
"You have to get up now for work." Her mother said.
" Mother I don't want to go out now meanwhile I have something to do."
" Why do you want to stay home today? " Her Mum asked.
" No mum, I have other things to do. " Carl said.
" Things like what?" Her mother asked.
" I have some things to do, I need to see my boss. " Carl said.
" Boss, why do you have to see your boss now?" Her mother asked.
" Something delicate."
" What is delicate that you can not speak with your boss at work?" Her mother asked.
Carl smiled and hugged her mother.
" Mother, it isn't actually that and I do not mean my boss at the office. " Carl said.
" So, may I know your other boss? " Her mother asked.
Carl gave her mother a peck on the cheek then smiled.
" I really am grateful for how you take care of me along with Dad. I am very grateful for your lessons. You taught me how not to depend on your wealth but to build myself into what I want to become." She said and paused smiling.
"My darling." Her mother said.
Carl couldn't help but laugh.
"I do not need that job at all. I am now my own boss, Mum." She said.
"What do you mean my dear?" Her mother asked.
Carl smiled and crossed her legs as she sat on the bed.
"Yes mother I am my own boss." Carl said. "I own my business."
"Can I know when you started your business?" Her mother asked.
"Two years ago." Carl said.
"You started building your business while you were working?" Her mother asked.
"Yes Mother." She answered smiling. "Moreover how is Grandfather doing in Africa. Have you heard from him."
"Yes dear. He is fine." Her mother answered.
Carl smiled looking at her mother.
"Is there anything you will like me to do for you?" Her mother asked and Carl smiled.
"Yes Mum." She said.
"What would you like me to do?" Her mother asked.
"Accept what I have to say." She answered.
"Yes I definitely will." Her mother said.
"I want to get myself a house to live." Carl said surprising her mother.
"You have this whole mansion to yourself. We aren't usually in the mansion so why would you choose to live elsewhere?" Her mother asked.
"I just want to be independent, Mum. I am 23 now and I want to be independent." She said.
"Alright, I can't turn back on my promise." Her mother said and Carl hugged her.
"Thank you Mum." Carl said hugging her mother.
Minutes later, her mother cleared her throat.
"We are going to look for the best mansion for you." Her mother said but Carl smiled and shook her head.
"No mother, you are doing none of such. I am going to invite you and Dad to my house after organizing it." Carl said.
"Alright dear." Her mother said.
Her mother was so happy. She looked around as she remembered the way she along with her husband had brought Carl up.
She smiled and looked at Carl.
" Alright, I would be going." She said and Carl nodded her head as she watched her mother leave her room.
Few minutes later, Carl phone started buzzing.
She picked her phone up and smiled seeing that the call was from one of her client.
She answered the call and accepted the offer.
She got up from the bed and went to her closet.
She selected a jean and a floppy top from her closet then put on the top and jeans.
Minutes later, she went to the mirror side. She sat down on the chair beside the mirror and looked into it.
She packed her hair and smiled looking at the mirror.

Abandoned Ex-Wife: Now Untouchable
My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare./1/110344/coverorgin.jpg?v=ee9edc19532d5cad4529d092169ad91d&imageMogr2/format/webp)
While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her
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./1/114581/coverorgin.jpg?v=d30548c5fb1860eb186e4ee0beefc070&imageMogr2/format/webp)
Bound To The Disabled Apocalyptic Tycoon
Jessie's biological parents brought her back from a Rust Belt wasteland just to force her into marrying a paralyzed heir to save their bankrupt empire. Three years later, when the global doomsday apocalypse hit, her own family shoved her into a swarm of infected corpses. As she was being torn apart by mutated hounds, she was stunned by what she saw. Her fake sister, Harley, was clutching the antique silver necklace she had stolen from Jessie—an heirloom that secretly contained a magical spatial dimension. When the infected swarmed them, her biological mother didn't even look back. "Jessie is just white trash, she is perfectly suited to buy us time to run!" Harley used Jessie's stolen necklace to live in absolute safety and luxury, while Jessie's windpipe was ripped out in the rotting wasteland. Until she died, Jessie didn't understand. She was their true flesh and blood. Why did her parents hate her so much? Why was she sacrificed so easily while the fake daughter got everything? Opening her eyes again, the blinding glare of a crystal chandelier stabbed into her retinas. She was back in the Manhattan penthouse on the exact day they sold her off. This time, Jessie calmly signed the marriage contract, demanded a one hundred million dollar buyout, and walked out to prepare for the apocalypse./0/39166/coverorgin.jpg?v=bb696aec11e4d0de968de685199a7894&imageMogr2/format/webp)
