The Hidden Heiress: Divorcing Her Ruthless CEO
“I barely survived a terrifying commercial plane crash, dragging my bruised and bleeding body into the hospital emergency room. But the husband who had ignored my desperate calls was standing in the VIP OB-GYN ward, tenderly comforting his childhood friend. "Don't be scared, I'll arrange the best medical team to take care of you and the baby." When he finally noticed my blood-soaked forehead, his first reaction wasn't concern, but cold impatience. He accused me of faking my injuries just to make a scene, warning me never to cross his pregnant mistress because I was nothing but a cheap contract wife. To stop me from getting a divorce and leaving, he even used his corporate power to freeze my passport, demanding I strip off my company blazer in front of his mistress to humiliate me into submission. I had hidden my true identity and played the perfect, submissive wife for three years to repay a life-saving debt, only to be treated like disposable garbage. Why did I ever think my quiet devotion could warm a man who was busy fathering another woman's child? Without a second thought, I left the signed divorce papers, dropped his company jacket right on his desk, and snatched my passport back. This time, I'm walking away for good.”
