For almost three years, Mina lived a happy life with his rich husband. Everything was fine and perfect not until the day she got pregnant. The night of their 3rd wedding anniversary, she caught his husband with another woman, but she chose to understand Tranz Fernandez because she thought her husband would get back to his senses. But Mina was wrong. From having a perfect life, she became a battered wife. Almost every day, she saw her husband with another woman but still forgave him. Until the unexpected thing happened, she filed an annulment and left the country with the help of Seth Capistrano. After striving for two years, she came back in a better version of herself. Mina even got the title of the prettiest face in the world. A month after she returned, she met Tranz at the hospital because the latter took his new wife there for a pregnancy check-up. The shock on his ex-husband's face was visible. To get revenge on the new wife, Mina intentionally kissed Tranz in front of her. Mina left with a smirk on her face.

THE BATTERED WIFE Chapter 1 THE URBAN GIRL

"Mina!!!" screamed our neighbor as she approached me while I was towing the leash of the carabao. "You're really something, huh?"

"Why, Lily?" I'm wondering as I questioned her.

She rolled her eyes while she crossed her arms. "Duh? Don't get to innocence there. Everyone already knows you're about to marry Tranz Fernandez Ratcliffe! The sole heir of the Fernandez and Ratcliffe Groups of Companies! Does he already taste your oyster or what? Gosh! I didn't know that Tranz would notice you. What potion did you use, girl? Look at you. You look like an eggplant exposed to the sunlight. Gosh! Are you still a virgin, huh?"

What is she saying?

"I'm sorry, Lily, because I'm still working, eh." I pulled the carabao's rope, but she stopped me from walking again.

"Why don't you tell me." I really can't understand her. "Telling the truth won't harm you." I just stared at her. "Why? Don't you know what I'm talking about? Gosh! Stupid!" she whispered softly, but I still heard what she said. "What did you do to make Tranz fell in love with you? Why would he marry you?"

"Do you know him personally?"

"Of course, why not coconut. He used to be my customer at the club. We ate suman and bibingka twice. That's why I know that his is very, very big and very, very fat. I even choked when I ate him."

I'm not really affected by what she says, so I don't know why she's telling these things to me.

"When did you meet?" I just asked while walking again.

I need to feed this carabao if I don't want to spend my night here in the rice field.

"Before he met you. I thought we were forever's not enough, but when he met you, he has already forgotten about me." When I looked at her, she was sulking and seemed to be crying. "How much does your ring cost?"

I faced her again. Haist. We're in the mountains, but here she is, with her hanging tube and micro mini skirt.

"It's not my fault that he likes me, Lily. Tranz and I met when I was still in college. He flirted with me before, but I didn't entertain him, but when we met eight months ago, and he courted me formally, I said yes to since I like him too. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"

I don't know why I have to explain myself to her. I feel sorry for Lily, honestly. She's alone in life because her parents died years ago, and because of that, she wasn't able to attend school. She didn't have the time to study, that's why she has to work at the club.

"It's okay-no hurt feelings. Just be careful. I heard you're going to Manila after your wedding."

Lily was kind but too noisy sometimes.

"Thank you."

"Invite me to your wedding so that I can eat something delicious. Don't just me but all the villagers, invite them so we can eat something delicious. Is it okay?"

"All right."

"That's great. I'm leaving now. Good luck. Even though your boyfriend is delicious, I don't like him anymore. I don't like to be called mistress because I'm not that kind of girl. Babush."

I just smiled as I watched her walk away from me. I pulled the rope again to tie it to the tree. I'm the one doing this because my father had an accident and injured his foot.

It's also the reason why I have to marry Tranz.

Like what I told Lily, Tranz and I met at the university before. I was taking up HRM because I dreamt of working abroad. Tranz, on the other hand, took Business Administration.

We only had lunch together once, but after that, he started to bother me. I turned him down because back then, my study was my priority. I also didn't want to have a boyfriend since I was a scholar. He respected my decision.

I thought we would never meet again. But eight months ago, we met at the hotel where I worked. I was in a hurry at that time because I had to replace mom to watched over dad in the hospital. He offered a ride, and I never could decline his offer because it happened that there's no taxi around.

When my father got out of the hospital, we were in debt. Tranz offered something I couldn't turn down, mainly that my parent's land depended on it. He would pay for all our obligations as long as I give him a chance.

But that was all in the past because now, I really love Tranz so much. He's not difficult to love because he already has all the qualities you would want in a man.

After I finished my job here in the rice field, I went home to our hut.

I couldn't help but let out a deep sigh as I surveyed our hut. I still have a lot to fulfill in my life, but it looks like I won't be able to get it right away because Tranz and I are getting married. I wish that I would be able to fix this house for my parents at least.

I was about to get inside when someone covered my eyes.

"Hi, Love..." I heard a baritone voice, so I smiled.

"Love..." When I mentioned the word love, he hugged me tightly. "Love, put me down!" I screamed when my feet raised from the ground.

He put me down and faced me to him.

"I'm glad I've heard you laughed. What's bothering you?"

"N-nothing." I lied.

He looked at our small hut. "I have a surprise for you before our wedding..."

The next day will be our wedding so most likely, tomorrow he will tell me what's the surprise he has for me.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone
4.5

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.
