After getting out of a scandalous relationship, Gina Carlson vowed never to have her heart broken for the second time. But she needed to save her family's business which was drastically going down the drain and the only way she could contribute was to agree to marry the billionaire, who was taking the business world by storm. Faced with this tragedy, with no way out, Gina had to do everything she could to uphold her family's legacy, and to also achieve the dreams she had nurtured in her heart for a very long time.

CONTRACT GO WRONG: THE CEO'S TEMPTING BRIDE Chapter 1 STRANGER'S BRIDE

Gina's heart pounded wildly against her chest, as she waited for the maid to finish styling her hair. Sitting across the mirror, the beautiful makeover did not help to conceal the sadness reflecting on her face.

She pressed her lips together as she fought the urge to bit them, trying to suppress the sobs that were attempting to escape. She doesn't want her father to think that he was making a bad decision, even if she knew that he was feeling guilty, she doesn't want to add more to his pain.

Her father had tried so hard, bring her up alone and doing everything he could to make her happy, she would jump at any opportunity to repay him dearly even if it was going into a loveless marriage with a man she had never met before.

She shut her eyes tightly as her vision was about to turn blur with tears again, which she fears might start falling any moment.

"There you go ma'am, everything is all done." The young maid finished styling her hair and gave her a bright smile through the mirror. "Never seen a more perfect bride," She added cheerfully.

Gina opened her eyes at the maid's comment and gave her reflection another glance. "Thank you Amy." She smiled half-heartedly and the maid helped her up from the chair, careful not to step on her long wedding dress.

"Believe me ma'am, I'm very sure that young master is going to love this dress on you, he specifically sent it over and his assistant said that he picked it himself. Awn I never thought he could be so romantic, you are really lucky ma'am."

The maid continued chattering as they got out of the room toward the stairs. Gina's face held a small smile as she listened to the excited maid.

Apart from her father, everyone in the mansion had thought that she was going to marry her ex-boyfriend, who had returned from overseas after so many years.

All the servants who had adored her so much were very enthusiastic that she was finally going to be with her love after so many years of waiting.

A sad chuckle escaped her lips, which was dimmed by the servants happy chatters and all of them approached her as she got down the stairs.

The servants offered words of congratulations and even though they found it funny that the young master didn't want to hold an extravagant wedding, all in all, their lovely young miss was finally going to be happy.

"Gina, you ready?" Her fathers voice sounded from the huge door and Gina's head snapped up after taking a bouquet from one of the maids who had said that it was her gift to her.

"Yes, Dad." She nodded with a half smile as he reached her side and the servants who had gathered around her bid her goodbye and went back to their duties.

"Uhmm." Mr. Carlson fought for words but finally nodded with a sigh. "I'm so sorry Gina." He dropped his head.

Gina shook her head and held his arm. "It's alright Dad, you don't have to feel bad... I would do more than this if I had to." She stopped in her words and also dropped her head, not wanting to see the guilt in his eyes.

Mr. Carlson patted her head and smiled sadly. He wasn't only worried for the fact that he was giving out his daughter to a stranger, as the only way to save his business. But he was also worried about how his daughter's life was going to be as the guy's ruthlessness was well know across the business world and if he hadn't fallen into his trap a few days ago, he wouldn't have come to this hard decision.

"Let's go," he said, and they walked out of the huge door toward the car where a driver was already waiting with the door opened.

Her father released her and Gina looked between him and the black limousine, a stark contrast to her white wedding dress. "I'll miss you Dad." She gave him a hug.

"Me too dear... me too." Mr. Carlson patted her back and pulled away. "I'll visit you."

Gina nodded and got inside the car. The driver closed the door and walked toward the middle aged man before handing him an envelope. "This is from the young Master, everything is ready and you can have your company back. He also said that the new company's ownership will be put under your name."

With that said, the driver got inside the black limousine and drove out of the mansion.

Mr. Carlson gripped on the envelope as his gaze followed the car which has disappeared. After the gates closed, he looked down and opened it. And just as the driver who he knew was one of the guy's bodyguards had said, all the documents seized by the authorities were inside.

"I'm so sorry Gina," he muttered, with dropped shoulders, still standing at the same spot. "I'm very sorry Emma." He called out to his dead wife.

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

Katie Oettgen

As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.

Abandoned Ex-Wife: Now Untouchable

Tao Yaoyao

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.
