Ten Years a Lie
Billionaires My husband, David, and I had been married for ten years, a perfect New York power couple on the outside, a carefully constructed lie within. I used his money, he had his affairs, even a secret child. Our lives ran on parallel tracks, never interfering. It was a cold, silent agreement.
Then the school called. An accident. Acid. My son, Liam.
I rushed to the nurse's office. Liam was pale, a raw burn on his cheek and neck. Another woman, impeccably dressed, stood there, bored. Olivia Chen, socialite extraordinaire. David's mistress. She offered me a check. "My Leo said it was an accident. Boys will be boys. This should be enough to cover the medical bills and keep you quiet." Then her phone rang. It was David. "Yes, I' m handling the other boy' s mother now," she cooed. My husband was concerned for his mistress and their illegitimate son, not ours.
The bracelet on Olivia's wrist, an emerald-studded Miller family heirloom, meant for David's wife, for me, shimmered mockingly. My hand went to my phone. David's voicemail. Again. Nothing. My son was hurt, and my husband wouldn't answer.
This wasn't anger; it was a cold, hard hatred. A rage that had simmered for a decade, now boiling over. My family, almost ruined. The Millers saved them, but the price was my marriage to David. He didn't want me; he wanted the inheritance clause in the Miller family trust. His firstborn child would control the bulk of the fortune on their tenth birthday.
Liam' s tenth birthday was in three days. In three days, the trust would activate. Liam would be in control. I looked from my son's pained face to the arrogant woman wearing my legacy. A cold calm settled over me. Let them have their moment. Their last three days of freedom. Choosing Peace: My True Love
Romance The screech of tires, the violent crush of metal-that' s how it ended.
Next to me, my husband David, dying, whispered: "I… I wish I'd never met you."
Ten years of my life, a decade of one-sided love, erased by his final, brutal regret, echoing a ghost named Emily White.
Then, darkness swallowed me whole.
I woke up on a university lawn, young again, dressed in a simple white dress I hadn't seen in a decade.
And there he was: David Chen, proposing, the king of campus, holding that familiar velvet box.
My heart, once soaring at this moment, was now a block of ice.
I closed my architecture textbook with a soft snap.
"No," I said, the word cutting through the expectant air.
His smile froze. "What did you say?"
"I said no, David. I won't marry you."
I walked away, straight toward Michael Thorne, the quiet, kind engineering student I had been too blind to see.
"Michael," I told him, "I know this is sudden. But I want to be with you."
Later, a hand grabbed my arm-David. He knew. He'd remembered our past life.
"You're punishing me for what I said, aren't you?" he hissed, his eyes burning with familiar fury.
He called me a monster, a liar, and swore Emily had saved him from a falling bookshelf, not me. He was wrong.
He threw the ring box at my feet, storming away, convinced I was the villain.
But for the first time, I felt a strange peace; this time, his story wasn't mine.
I knew my second chance had just begun. When Friends Become Your Cruelest Foes
Young Adult "Lily, you should do it," Tiffany Hayes purred, her eyes fixed on me in the art academy' s lounge. As the scholarship student, managing our class' s two-million-dollar art fund seemed like a twisted honor, a responsibility the elite kids conveniently dodged.
Three years later, at our graduation exhibition-the night my life' s work was finally displayed-my childhood friend, Mark Miller, seized the microphone. "Our class art fund has been mismanaged," he announced, his gaze piercing me. "One point eight million dollars is missing."
The dreams I had meticulously built shattered. Every eye in the buzzing gallery turned to me, judging, accusing. Tiffany, Mark' s girlfriend, stood by his side, her feigned sympathy a cold knife twisting inside me. They stripped me bare, painting me a thief, a public spectacle.
"I have records of everything," I insisted. "Every dollar is accounted for!" But the projection screen behind him flashed a balance of $1,250.34, sealing my fate. "Just tell us what you did with the money," Tiffany cooed, trying to lure out a confession. "We were friends."
Friends? Their betrayal burned hotter than any accusation. They had done this. Set me up. Framed me. The rage and humiliation were suffocating, but a cold resolve began to crystallize within me. They thought they had broken me, but they had just ignited a fire.
I walked out of the gallery that night, not in defeat, but with a fierce determination. I would find the truth. I would expose them. And they would pay. The Secret Life She Hid
Romance My six-year marriage to Sarah was supposed to be a picture of perfect bliss. We were planning an anniversary trip, discussing a future with children, a life built on solid ground.
Then, a child' s drawing hidden in her car, labeled "Mommy," shattered my world. It depicted a woman with my wife's long brown hair, and two children named Leo and Mia. Children we didn't have.
The whispers I overheard later-Sarah and her mother, talking about "five years" of deceit, a man named David, and those kids-confirmed my worst fears. My beloved wife had a whole other life, a secret family I was unwittingly funding. The "business trips," the late nights, the unexplained cash withdrawals… it all clicked into place, painting me as the delusional fool.
The man I thought I was, the life I believed in, crumbled into ash. How could I have been so blind, so utterly duped by the woman I adored? How could someone I trusted completely orchestrate such a monstrous lie? Every cherished memory turned into a new, agonizing layer of betrayal.
With nothing left but a cold, burning rage and a profound sense of injustice, I decided: Ethan Patterson had to die. But not in reality. I would disappear, erase myself, and leave her to face the wreckage of the life she had so meticulously built on my unsuspecting heart. Beyond the Script
Romance The news of Dr. Seraphina Vance' s divorce from Dr. Julian Hayes hit the scientific community like a shockwave.
For me, Chloe, Elias Thorne' s hidden partner for seven years, it was a death sentence to the life I had painstakingly built with him.
Suddenly, I was faced with a new, brutal mission from the system that brought me here: ensure Elias and Seraphina, the true protagonists, achieve their "happy ending," even if it meant destroying my own.
I had to orchestrate their reunion, push the man I loved into another woman's arms, and watch him embrace the woman he was "destined" for, while systematically erasing myself from his life.
Worst of all, when Seraphina framed me, manipulating Elias into believing I was incompetent-or worse, malicious-he chose her. He watched me, gasping for air from a severe allergic reaction she triggered, and walked away, choosing his "show" over my life.
How could he believe her fabricated lies over the seven years we shared, over the evidence of his own eyes?
Now, after sacrificing everything, manipulating events, and nearly dying to fulfill this twisted destiny, I found myself standing on a rooftop, preparing to step off and finally go home, to my real life.
But as I looked down, I saw Elias, pure panic on his face, finally understanding. This wasn't a game. It was my final act of self-sacrifice, forcing him to confront the truth of what he' d lost. He Broke My Hands, I Broke His Empire
Billionaires Caleb, my brilliant partner and fiancé, stroked my hand.
"One more month, Gabby," he whispered, "and you'll officially be the COO of Aura. My queen."
We were celebrating our empire, the tech company I architected from our dorm room.
I thought we were building a kingdom together.
That was the last clear thing I remembered before waking up to shattering pain.
My hands, once capable of flying across a keyboard, were broken, mangled.
Rough voices laughed from beyond a thin wall: "Caleb paid good money... said to make sure her hands were unusable."
My world imploded.
It was Caleb.
All of it.
He "rescued" me, a perfect performance for the world.
But in the ambulance, he leaned in, his breath warm against my ear.
"You should have just been happy with what you had. Now, you have nothing."
My hospital room became a gilded cage.
I listened as he plotted with his intern, Molly, to take my COO position, mocking my nerve damage, certain I was finished.
He even sabotaged my surgery, ensuring permanent injury.
The humiliation peaked when he wheeled me onto a stage, only for me to "accidentally" fall, exposed and vulnerable, to the world.
The "Shark of Silicon Valley" became "Poor Gabby Johns," a tragic spectacle.
Every condescending word, every false show of concern, was a fresh wound.
He thought he'd broken me, reduced me to a pitiful charity case.
He had no idea.
While he celebrated his victory, believing I was defeated, a hidden message whispered into an encrypted tablet ignited a plan.
I pretended to surrender, buying myself time.
He just made his biggest mistake: underestimating the woman he tried to bury.
I was re-arming, and the real war was about to begin. A Mother's Cold Revenge
Modern I was dying of colon cancer in a hospice, all my $150,000 savings for retirement and my son, Ethan, almost gone.
Ethan cried, telling me his girlfriend, Chloe, stole every penny for a luxury condo. I believed him completely.
My hatred for that "gold-digger" burned hotter than my cancer. In my final hours, I called the police, determined to ruin Chloe for letting me die disgraced.
I died filled with pure, unadulterated hate.
My last thought was of her painful demise. How could she betray a dying woman so cruelly? The injustice was unbearable.
Then I gasped, not in the hospice, but in my own living room, alive and whole. The doorbell chimed-the day I first met Chloe. And as she entered, I heard her innermost thoughts: "I hope she likes this locket; Ethan said she only respects expensive brands."
My rage short-circuited. Ethan had lied. My son was the monster. I was back, with a chilling chance to make him pay. A Second Sight of Vengeance
Modern Ten years. That' s how long I' d navigated a world painted by touch and sound. My hands, once destined for university papers, now kneaded muscles as a Licensed Massage Therapist. It wasn' t the life I planned after the mysterious incident that stole my sight, but it was a life.
Until today. The afternoon rush ended, and the clinic settled. Then, loud, careless voices drifted from the waiting area. Kevin Miller, an old student from that last proctored exam, bragged. But it was the other voice, smooth and arrogant-Ethan Vance-that chilled me. He chimed in, "The real reason that TA went dark? The culprit was right there in the exam room with him. I' d know." My breath caught. They were talking about my blindness.
A chilling certainty settled in my gut. Barely had I finished my last client when Ethan Vance ambushed me. A hand clamped over my mouth, a cold, sharp object pressed against my side. "You heard too much, Mr. Davis," Ethan' s voice whispered, colder, devoid of smoothness. A searing pain. Then, darkness, deeper than any blindness I had known. He murdered me.
But then, a gasp tore from my throat. My eyes flew open. Light. Blinding, painful light. I could see. Fluorescent lights. Desks. Students. It was the exam hall. Ten years ago. I was back. My vision, crystal clear, a painful paradox after a decade of blindness and the fresh memory of my murder.
Ethan Vance. He was here, in this room. The killer. The "culprit" who, in mere minutes, was about to destroy my life. He thought he' d silenced me, but now I was back. The clock on the wall showed 8:58 AM. Two minutes until my world went black in my first life. I had to stop it. This time, everything would be different. The Kidney He Stole: Ava's Reckoning
Horror Ava Miller, co-founder of AuraSynch and devoted partner to Ethan Reed, believed she had it all.
Her decade building their tech empire seemed a testament to enduring love.
Then, a latte from Ethan clouded her mind, initiating a nightmare.
Trapped, Ava overheard him arranging to harvest her kidney for his ex, Chloe Vance.
Frantic whispers revealed Ethan had also forced her to abort their child years ago, all for Chloe.
Her world collapsed, realizing the calculated exploitation of her body and love.
Ethan' s cold disregard, his abandonment for Chloe' s whims, and Chloe' s taunts highlighted Ava' s utter worthlessness.
Even after Ethan intentionally sacrificed her as bait on a bridge, his monstrous cruelty remained.
How could the man she loved see her as a disposable resource?
The crushing realization ignited an unwavering resolve, extinguishing her foolish affection.
Severing all ties, she erased him from her life, resigning and clearing their shared home.
With icy determination, Ava made a single call to Ethan' s fiercest rival, launching a shocking new chapter.
She emerged not as a victim, but a force ready for public revenge. Thanksgiving of Lies
Billionaires Thanksgiving at our Palo Alto mansion always felt like a picture-perfect scene.
My five-year-old son, Leo, innocently reached for a cookie offered by Chloe, my husband Ethan' s glowing, pregnant sister-in-law.
Then, horrifyingly, Leo started gasping for air, his small face turning a terrifying shade of blue.
He was deathly allergic to peanuts, and Chloe' s feigned shock, "Oh my god, I had no idea!" was chilling.
Ethan, my powerful tech mogul husband, immediately turned his furious gaze on me.
"Sarah, how could you be so careless? You know about his allergy!" he roared, for all our wealthy guests to hear.
At the hospital, while Leo fought for his life, Ethan comforted a tearful Chloe outside.
He sneered at me, "Amelia would have been a better mother," then forced me to endure an invasive stem cell donation for Chloe' s high-risk pregnancy.
I woke up, groggy and sore, just in time to hear the doctor confirm I' d likely never conceive again, followed by Ethan' s chilling response: "Good. She doesn' t deserve more children."
"Good." That word ignited a cold, sharp fury in my veins, extinguishing any remaining hope or loyalty.
Was I merely a disposable placeholder in this gilded cage, forced to sacrifice my body for the very people who had deliberately harmed my son?
The injustice burned hotter than any physical wound.
They thought I was broken, that I' d crawl back.
They were wrong.
My wedding ring felt like a brand, not a bond, as I slipped it off and handed Ethan the divorce papers.
My escape, meticulously planned, had just begun, and the world was about to see what happens when a broken woman rebuilds herself, stronger and utterly ruthless. The Scholarship Scammer's Downfall
Young Adult I had worked my entire life for this.
The Starlight Innovators Scholarship—a full ride to MIT—was finally mine, and the principal had just called my name.
But as I stood to accept, a shrill voice cut through the applause.
My father's mistress, Brenda Sullivan, publicly railed that her son deserved it, claiming my "generous" father had funded the school.
My father, Richard, who just lived off my mom's untold fortune, beamed beside her as they tried to snatch my future, painting me as ordinary.
I exposed their first lie: my reclusive genius mom, Eleanor Vance, was NovaCore's actual founder and the *real* donor.
Yet they didn't stop; they launched a vicious online smear campaign and my father even physically attacked my professor at MIT.
How could my own father, this charlatan, repeatedly try to sabotage my life with such brazen lies?
Why did they relentlessly pursue me, twisting truths and resorting to violence, just to protect their crumbling fabricated world?
But they underestimated me.
I was done being their victim.
When Kevin, in a desperate rage, broke into my dorm with a knife, I knew it was time to ensure their web of deceit collapsed—not just online, but for good. One Act of Kindness, One Blacklist
Modern Fresh out of grad school with a hefty education degree and crushing student loans.
I tweaked my resume, dropping the master's, just to get a job as a domestic.
My first gig was for the ultra-rich Davis family.
I quickly discovered their nine-year-old daughter, Chloe, wasn't a "terror" but a traumatized child, neglected and abused.
Her parents, especially her mother, ignored her cries for help, then punished her for every slight.
I couldn't stand by.
I protected Chloe, showed her kindness, and slowly, a bond formed.
But the moment their cruel matriarch caught wind of it, she used my falsified resume as an excuse to destroy me.
I was fired, blacklisted from every wealthy family in the city, and left penniless, deemed a liar and a troublemaker.
How could showing a suffering child an ounce of compassion lead to me losing everything?
I was stranded, my career shattered, all for daring to care where others wouldn't.
The injustice burned, leaving me with nothing but despair.
Just when I thought this was the end, Chloe, the very girl I was accused of "manipulating," ran away from her gilded cage and found me.
Clinging to me as her last hope, she whispered, "I have a plan." You might like
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." A Divorce He Regrets

Jessica C. Dolan 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. Craving for My Tyrant Husband
Cosme Seidel I was cheated on by my scumbag boyfriend.
On the night I got blackout drunk, I married a stranger, and when I woke up, I only found a marriage certificate and a black card.
He took care of my scumbag ex for me, gave me a canary diamond ring, but refused to show his face—he only called me baby on video calls.
I ran to my best friend’s house to hide, only to find that the billionaire next door, who made my heart skip a beat, had the exact same scent as him.
My best friend cried and begged me: "He’s Augustus, a tyrant who eats people alive!"
But only I knew that the man who pressed me against the terrace railing, leaned down to kiss me, and whispered "I’ll protect you" softly.
Fifty thousand dollars to sneak photos of his private office? I’ll go.
Not for the money, but to ask him to his face—
Gus, how many secrets are you hiding? And how long have you been craving me? Chasing Back What's Mine
G~Aden "There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits.
We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word.
I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached.
"Where can I sign?" I asked since I had nothing to lose.

Bound By The Billionaire's Golden Leash
Star Radovsky For two years, I lived as a ghost in the Horn manor, a world built on blood money where my every breath was monitored. Fulton Horn, my stepfather’s nephew and the executor of my life, held the golden leash around my neck, forcing me to play the role of his secret mistress while he paraded a socialite as his fiancée.
Everything shattered at a high-society gala when the scent of raw seafood made me vomit at the feet of Fulton’s future bride. The ballroom erupted in whispers of a secret pregnancy, but Fulton’s reaction wasn't concern—it was cold, predatory calculation.
He immediately forced me into a clinical "inspection" to ensure his "merchandise" was sound, then destroyed my only chance at escape by framing my friend in a scandal and blacklisting my credit. He dragged me to his penthouse, ripped my clothes, and told me I was nothing but a "placeholder" for his dead first love, Arlena.
I was drowning in his obsession, forced to model his fiancée’s engagement gown while he claimed he was the only one who could "protect" me.
"You are what I say you are," he whispered, "and you belong where I say you belong."
I didn't understand how he could be so cruel, or why he was so determined to keep me in a cage of secrets. But when I looked closer at the photo of the "original" girl he loved, my blood turned to ice. It wasn't a girl named Arlena. It was a picture of me from six years ago, smiling and unbroken.
I realized then that Fulton hadn't just found a replacement—he had spent years carefully destroying the girl I used to be so he could keep the broken pieces for himself. Reaching for the hidden keycard, I finally made a choice: I would find a way to kill the ghost he loved before he finished killing the woman I had become. Craving The Wrong Brother

I'm Divorcing with You, Mr Billionaire!
The Wine Press I received a pornographic video.
"Do you like this?"
The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts.
"Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response.
"You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!"
The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed.
I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella.
************************************************************************************************************************
"I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly.
He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!"
The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him.
"I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster.
He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table.
I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house. Her Secret Identity: The Tycoon’s Unplanned Wife
JESSICA KIRK My family arranged my marriage to Silas Thorne, a Wall Street titan. There was just one problem: everyone, including my powerful new husband, believed I was a crippled, helpless girl from the countryside.
On the day of my physical therapy, my father called, not to ask how I was, but to demand I give up the marriage for his illegitimate daughter, Chloe.
"You can barely walk without a limp," he sneered. "You are going to embarrass the Vance family."
My new husband treated me with cold duty, carrying me like a fragile doll but refusing to share a bed, citing my ‘soft tissue injury’ as a pathetic excuse. The rejection was humiliating. To make matters worse, Chloe tracked me down while I was shopping, eager to mock me in public.
"Silas doesn't value you," she said, flashing a cheap ring from my father. "You’re just a crippled placeholder."
They all saw a weak girl they could push around, completely blind to the fact that my limp was a carefully crafted lie.
So I took the unlimited black card Silas gave me and bought a fifty-seven-million-dollar pink diamond, crushing her in front of New York’s elite. When I returned to our penthouse, Silas was waiting for me, a dangerous smirk on his face.
"I heard," he said, his voice a low rumble, "that you bought a star with my money today?" SCORNED EX WIFE : Queen Of Ashes
