I found the instruction manual for my own abandonment on a dark web forum while my husband scrubbed the scent of another woman from his skin in the bathroom. The thread was titled "Burden Disposal Strategies." The user, RatKing88, asked a simple question: "How do I dump a loyal wife without triggering a war with the old guard? My parents love her more than me." The replies were brutal. They suggested faking a dangerous mission, forcing a paper divorce for 'asset protection,' and then disappearing with the cash. Moments later, Luca walked out of the bathroom smelling of cheap vanilla perfume and panic. He grabbed my hands, his palms sweating, and spun a clumsy lie about a "Code Red" mission in Sicily. "It is going to be a bloodbath, Sienna," he whispered, his eyes wide with manic energy. "We need to divorce on paper. It is the only way to protect you from the vendettas." I felt a cold rage settle in my gut. He wasn't a soldier going to war. He was a rat running off with his mistress and the family savings, leaving his stroke-ridden father and our daughter with nothing. He planned to wait for his parents to die so he could return for the inheritance. He thought I was just a naive, caged canary who would wait forever. But he forgot that canaries are the first to smell poison in the air. I didn't scream. I didn't expose him. Instead, I looked him in the eye with carefully manufactured sorrow and signed the papers. He thought he was escaping to freedom with a bag full of stolen cash. He didn't realize he had just voluntarily abdicated his throne. And I was going to take it.

Chapter 1

Sienna POV

I found the instruction manual for my own abandonment on a dark web forum while my husband scrubbed the scent of another woman from his skin in the en-suite bathroom.

The spectral blue light of the laptop screen was the only thing cutting through the darkness of the master bedroom.

I was not supposed to be here.

I was supposed to be the dutiful wife, the caged canary of the Vitiello family, asleep and oblivious.

But canaries are sensitive to poison in the air.

I scrolled down the thread titled "Burden Disposal Strategies."

The original poster, User ID RatKing88, had asked a simple question.

How do I dump a loyal wife without triggering a war with the old guard? My parents love her more than me.

The replies were brutal.

Fake a Code Red mission, one user suggested. Tell her it is for her safety. Force a paper divorce to protect assets from the Feds. Then leave the country.

Live like a king in Europe, another wrote. Let the wife rot at home serving your parents. She will wait forever if she is stupid enough.

My stomach turned.

It felt like a physical blow, a fist twisting violently inside my gut.

Then, I heard the bathroom door creak open.

I slammed the laptop shut and shoved it under my pillow, forcing my breathing into a slow, rhythmic cadence to feign sleep.

Luca walked into the room.

He smelled of soap, sterile and aggressive, but underneath that, there was the sharp bite of gunpowder and the cloying, sickly sweet scent of cheap vanilla perfume.

He did not smell like a soldier returning from duty.

He smelled like a liar.

The mattress dipped under his weight as he sat on the edge of the bed.

"Sienna," he whispered. "Wake up, tesoro."

I opened my eyes, practicing the innocent confusion I had perfected over three years of marriage.

"Luca? You are late."

He looked frantic.

His hair was wet, his eyes wide with a manic sort of energy.

"The Don just called," he said, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial hush. "It is bad, Sienna. It is a Code Red."

My heart stopped.

It was exactly what the forum post had suggested.

"What do you mean?" I asked, sitting up against the headboard.

He took my hands in his.

His palms were sweaty.

"They are sending me to Sicily," he lied. " A critical operation. The Commission is involved. It is going to be a bloodbath, Sienna. I cannot guarantee my safety."

He paused for effect.

"And I cannot guarantee yours if you remain legally attached to me."

I stared at him.

He was performing.

It was a clumsy, amateurish act, but he thought I was too naive to notice the cracks.

"What are you saying, Luca?"

"We need to divorce," he said, the words rushing out of him. "Just on paper. A legal fiction. It will protect you from the vendettas. It will hide our assets from the Feds when things get hot."

He squeezed my hands tighter.

"It is the only way to keep you safe, amore. I have to leave tonight. The lawyer will come in the morning."

A chill ran down my spine.

It was not fear.

It was the cold, hard realization that the man I married was not a wolf.

He was a rat.

I looked at his desperate face.

He wanted to be free of me.

He wanted to be free of his parents, the stern Don Carlo and the demanding Nonna Rosa.

He wanted the money and the mistress and the easy life.

He wanted me to be the anchor that held his place while he drifted.

"Do you have to go?" I asked, my voice trembling with a carefully manufactured sorrow.

I needed to see how far he would go.

"Think of your parents, Luca. Your father is frail. Nonna needs you."

I invoked the sacred code.

Family first.

I waited to see if there was even a shred of honor left in him.

Five Years' Love, Shattered by a Call

Romance

4.7

My wedding to Ethan, the man I’d loved for five years, was weeks away. Everything was set for our future, a beautifully planned life together. Then the call came: Ethan’s high school sweetheart, Chloe, was found with severe amnesia, still believing she was his girlfriend. Ethan postponed our wedding, asked me to pretend to be his brother Liam’s girlfriend, insisting it was "for Chloe’s sake." I endured quiet agony watching him relive their past, his every loving gesture now for her. Chloe’s Instagram became a public shrine to their "rekindled" love, #TrueLove emblazoned everywhere. I even found a groundbreaking clinic for Chloe, hoping for an end, but Ethan brushed it off. Then, I overheard him: I was just a "placeholder," a "good sport" who would wait, because I had "nowhere else to go." Five years of my life, my love, my loyalty, reduced to a disposable convenience. The cold, calculated betrayal punched the air from my lungs. He thought I was trapped, that he could use me at will, then return to me, expecting gratitude. Numb, I stumbled. And then, I met Liam, Ethan’s quiet brother. "I need to get married, Liam. To someone. Soon." The words escaped me. Liam, who had watched silently, responded: "What if I said I'd marry you, Ava? For real." A dangerous, desperate plan ignited within me, fueled by pain and a fierce desire for reckoning. "Alright, Liam," I declared, a new resolve hardening my voice. "But I have conditions: Ethan must be your Best Man, and he must give me away at the altar." The charade was about to begin, but now, it was on my terms. And Ethan had no idea the bride was truly me.

Mafia

The first blow cracked a rib, the second dissolved the world into pain. They dragged me into an alley, brutalizing me, shattering my drawing hand, and carving out my kidney. Just before I blacked out, I saw them: Eleanor, my adoptive mother; Olivia, my sister; Sarah, my fiancée. Standing at the alley's edge, watching with cold, tense eyes as I lay bleeding. Then, Eleanor' s chillingly calm voice cut through the haze: "Is it done?" A man confirmed my hand was shattered, and pointed to a cooler. My kidney. They had taken my kidney. Later, in the sterile hospital room, I overheard them. Eleanor confirmed my art career was destroyed. Olivia expressed relief. Sarah, my fiancée, twisted the knife: "This is for the best. Caleb couldn't handle the rejection." My heart pounded with sick realization. For seven years, my achievements had been sacrificed for Caleb's "fragility." I was a fool, believing their love, their sisterhood, their devotion. I was an obstacle, a resource to be drained and discarded. The party celebrating Caleb's scholarship, built on my ruin, raged downstairs-on my birthday, which they' d forgotten. I was bleeding, injured by a dog they claimed I' d attacked, forced to apologize by Eleanor, who shoved my head, sending me crashing. But as I lay broken, a new fire ignited within me. I clutched a faded photograph: my real father. And on it, a phone number for my grandfather. "I've been waiting for your call, son. Tell me where you are. I'm on my way."

The Sterling Scandal: Married To The Uncle

The Sterling Scandal: Married To The Uncle

C.D
5.0

I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.
