Revenge Was Her Final Vow Chapter 1 Obsessed

Chapter One

Diana Point of view

Obsessed

My lovely husband came down the staircase to meet me in the kitchen and kissed me softly on my cheeks.

I smiled, a warm flutter settling in my chest, because I truly had been more than blessed to have him in my life.

"Good morning, babe," he said, grinning from ear to ear, the kind of grin that made my heart skip a beat every time.

"Good morning, honey," I replied, my focus glued to the pancakes I was flipping carefully, not wanting to burn them.

"How was your night?" he asked, reaching into the fridge and grabbing a bottle of water.

"I slept well," I answered, sitting down the last piece of pancake on the plate, trying to sound casual though a small smile tugged at my lips.

He sat down across from me and started devouring the food I had prepared, my early morning efforts after staying up all night helping him draft and organize his business proposals finally coming to fruition.

"Well done, honey. I see you've been working really hard on this project all week," he said, a note of genuine admiration in his voice.

"I don't see it as anything much. Honestly, I love being by your side through it all," I replied, brushing off my contribution though pride stirred faintly in my chest.

"Once I get this deal," he said, looking up from the documents with that twinkle in his eyes, "I promise, I will take you on a vacation-to any country of your choice."

My heart melted. Was he serious this time?

I smiled, thinking about all the late nights, the paperwork, the hours spent trying to make his projects perfect. That's what I loved about him. I didn't mind pouring every ounce of my energy, skill, and patience into making sure his business flourished.

I had been married to him for five years, and though I had stopped my own career to focus entirely on his, he had never failed to show his appreciation with kind words and little gestures of affection. The promise of a trip made my excitement bubble up uncontrollably.

"Oh...I can't wait to experience such a wonderful trip with you," I said, my voice laced with genuine delight.

He kept flipping through the files, reviewing the proposals. A few minutes later, he paused and smiled, clearly impressed with my work.

"I will be going now. We have a team meeting in a few minutes," he announced.

I rushed forward and hugged him tightly.

"Good luck, babe," I whispered.

He hugged me back, lingering a moment longer before walking out the door and heading to his BMW.

I returned to the kitchen, carefully packing the dishes and placing them in the dishwasher. After that, I swept the floors and started the laundry, keeping the mansion immaculate.

Even though David's business had made him a multi-millionaire, he had chosen not to hire a maid. His reason? He didn't want me to grow lazy after leaving the fashion industry. I had agreed. I knew he meant well, and secretly, I didn't mind the tasks; they kept me busy, grounded, and gave me a sense of contribution.

I had prayed for a man like David for so long. Five years ago, when he asked me to marry him, I had been ecstatic, and I couldn't imagine jeopardizing such a blessing. I had turned twenty-nine that year, and the thought of being a spinster at thirty had terrified me.

When he asked me to quit my job, I hadn't hesitated. I resigned immediately, trusting his promise to employ me as a member of his board of directors. I had believed in him, in us, and in the life we were building together.

After finishing the housework, I turned my attention to the remaining documents he had assigned me. My eyes widened in shock as I saw the name listed as the new C.E.O. of my former fashion company.

How could he? My heart raced. I dropped the files onto the table with a loud thud. I needed answers, and the only person who could give them was in the office of his company.

I showered quickly, dressed neatly, and traced his office location using Google Maps. I arrived and walked into the building, feeling a knot of anxiety tighten in my stomach.

At the reception, a young woman smiled politely at me, gesturing for me to sit. She looked barely twenty-four, cheerful and unassuming.

I sighed, frustrated. If only she knew who I was-she would have let me in without hesitation. But I had no proof of my identity. David had insisted I keep my father's surname, Rodriguez, instead of using his, Williams.

A few minutes later, she nodded at me, signaling that I could go in.

I stepped inside, and there he was-David. The shock on his face mirrored the storm of questions swirling in my mind.

"Diana...what...what are you doing here?" he stammered, clearly taken aback.

"Well... I'm sorry to walk into your office unannounced," I said, placing the document firmly on the table between us, "but I need answers."

His eyes widened further, searching mine as if trying to read my intentions.

"Do you mind explaining why there is a woman's name on this document, and why she bears your surname as well?" I demanded, my voice trembling slightly with a mixture of anger and disbelief.

He ran a hand through his hair nervously. "I... I can explain," he said, though the hesitation in his voice told me this was going to be a long, complicated conversation.

I took a deep breath, bracing myself for the answer, knowing deep down that whatever he said next could change everything I thought I knew about our marriage.

"You better start!", I yelled at the top of my voice.

David didn't shout.

That alone unsettled me.

He leaned back in his chair, fingers steepled, eyes dark-not guilty, not nervous.

Calculating.

"Diana," he said calmly, "that company was never meant to have your name on it."

I stiffened. "Why?"

"Because the moment I realized how valuable you were, I also realized how exposed you'd be."

He stood up and walked toward the glass window, his back to me.

"Your former fashion house is under a silent audit. Investors, shell accounts, unpaid royalties, things that haven't gone public yet. The moment your name appeared anywhere near ownership, you'd be dragged into it."

He turned to me slowly.

"I chose to remove you completely."

I frowned. "So you put another woman there?"

"Yes." His tone was firm. "A proxy. Someone expendable. Someone who wouldn't lose anything if things went wrong."

My breath hitched.

"You promised me a board seat," I whispered.

"I promised to protect you," he corrected. "And this was the only way."

He stepped closer, lowering his voice.

"You were emotional after leaving your career. If I told you the truth, you would've insisted on fighting your way back in-and I couldn't risk you being destroyed by a system that eats people alive."

He reached for my hand.

"I took the burden so you wouldn't have to."

I rolled my eyes slowly, uncertainty tugging at my chest. I didn't know what to believe anymore.

Everything about our marriage had happened so fast-too fast. I barely had time to breathe before I found myself wearing a ring and answering to "wife." I never got the chance to meet his family properly.

No long introductions, no warm embraces, no awkward first impressions. We were wedded quietly in a local church, officiated by a lone clergyman who barely knew our names.

At the time, I didn't question it. I thought love was enough.

But now, confusion swirled inside me like a restless storm.

"I'm sorry... I should have thought about that," I said softly, my voice almost drowned by guilt.

"So stupid of me to think you would ever try to hurt me."

He leaned closer, his presence calming, familiar. He kissed my cheek gently, his lips warm against my skin.

"It's alright," he said in that soothing tone he used whenever I doubted myself. "You're human. And I know how much you love me, so it's normal to worry sometimes."

My shoulders relaxed almost instantly. That was David-always knowing what to say, always making me feel silly for doubting him.

"Have you made lunch already?" he asked casually. "I'm starving."

Shame washed over me in waves. I lowered my head, embarrassed. I had been so consumed by my thoughts, so irritated and anxious, that I hadn't prepared anything fresh for him.

"I'll hurry up and make something right away," I said quickly.

"Good girl," he replied with a small smile. "Hurry up. Your precious husband is starving."

My heart fluttered at the word husband.

"Okay," I said eagerly. "I love you so much."

"I love you too," he replied, planting a soft kiss on my lips.

A shiver ran down my spine, the familiar warmth spreading through me.

As I left the office, a wave of reassurance washed over me. Why was I even worried?

David was successful, wealthy, respected. There was no reason to be scared. He provided for me, cared for me-or at least, that was what I believed. He was a good husband. A loving one.

My thoughts were so filled with David that I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings. Suddenly, I collided with someone.

"Oh-sorry," I whispered, startled, as I bent down to help pick up the items that had spilled from her hands.

She was tall, fair, striking-someone who looked like she stepped straight out of a fashion magazine.

She snatched the items from my hands forcefully, her eyes cold and sharp.

"Perhaps next time you'd be careful enough not to bump into strangers," she said rudely.

I paused, taken aback, but chose to ignore her. I straightened up and walked past her without another word. I refused to let anything ruin my mood.

I was having a good day.

I was going home to make a delicious dinner for the man I loved.

And for that moment, nothing else mattered.

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I've returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders-the man I was told was a crippled recluse-intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I'd cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent-the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower's security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy-Archibald's secret son-wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald's face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

Landslide

My bank account showed exactly $42.18, and my student loan notifications were flashing red. I lived in a sweltering Queens apartment with my Aunt Lydia, where the air was thick with the smell of stale frying oil and the constant threat of being homeless. Lydia handed me a grainy photo of a man twice my age and told me she had already "sold" me to him. He was a dry cleaner looking for a wife, and in exchange for my hand, he would pay off her credit cards and my debt. If I didn't show up for the date that night, my boxes would be on the curb by midnight. I arrived at the cafe in a state of panic, my selective mutism making it impossible to even breathe. In the crowded room, I accidentally sat at the wrong table. Instead of the man from the photo, I found myself facing Gerhard Holcomb—the cold, terrifyingly handsome billionaire whose family owned the very museum where I worked. He didn't send me away; instead, he studied my trembling hands and offered me a different deal: a two-year contract marriage, a two-million-dollar payout, and a strict clause forbidding any children. I signed the papers and moved into his Park Avenue penthouse, thinking I was finally safe. But when I went back to the old apartment to retrieve the only memento of my dead parents, Lydia lashed out, leaving me bleeding from a head wound. Gerhard’s retaliation was absolute—he had her arrested and her building foreclosed on within hours, claiming he was simply "protecting his assets." As I recovered in his silent, glass-walled home, I saw a call from a famous socialite flash on his phone, and a cold truth settled in my gut. I wasn't just a wife; I was a placeholder, a silent shield used to fend off the women from his past. I looked at the massive pink diamond on my finger and realized the silence I had lived in my whole life was about to become my most expensive prison. I had traded a life of poverty for a high-stakes game of shadows, and now I had to survive the man who claimed to own me.

Betrayed Bride: Claimed By The Brother

Betrayed Bride: Claimed By The Brother

Reilly Mcardle

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
