It was sharp seven on the dot when breakfast was served, Kimberly was still in bed as she had passed the day clubbing forgetting the following day was her first day in college, Mr. Jerk was on his way to the dining table he was already dressed for work, behind him was his arrogant wife she was equally dressed for work.

After breakfast, Mr. Jerk left for the shoe factory, Mrs. Kris was still in the house getting ready to go meet Kimberly in her room. She gently climbed the stairs towards Kim's room, on her arrival she knocked her door room as it was closed. "Who's that?" Kimberly asked while shouting. "It's your mum," Mrs. Kris replied while waiting on her to open the door. Kimberly quickly stepped out of bed and rushed to open the door, her mum came in and sat next to her bed, she told her daughter to have a sit, she was about to have a conversation with her, Kimberly sat down and was waiting on her mum, Mrs. Kris cleared her throat and began, "Do you know your dad is angry with you?" Mrs. Kris asked while folding her arms around her waist. Kimberly was wondering why her dad was angry with her, she asked why her dad was angry with her and her mum said because of the kind of lifestyle she was engaging herself into. Her dad Mr. Jerk was brought up responsibly and as such did not tolerate Kim's attitude, each time he tried talking to her about it, her mum always tried convincing him she was gonna talk to her. Her mum advised her to be a good girl, the clock was ticking and time was passing, Kimberly got to the bathroom, took her bad and was preparing herself for school, it was her first day in college. Her mum left her and was now about to go join her husband at the shoe factory when she arrived the security guards accompanied her to the office, it was like a tradition, every morning when her car drove into the factory, there was always one guard who held her bag right to her office, Mrs. Kris West was a very arrogant lady, she never responded each time the poor greeted her.

Kimberly was already dressed for school, she wore a simple blue gown, a black pair of covered shoes, and a white school bag, her driver was down waiting for her to get done, it took her some seconds to get down, and the driver drove her to school, when she entered the school premises, she could see other beautiful cars just as the one they carried her into. There was a guard standing by each class, welcoming you and taking you to your sit, he did same for Kimberly as she was the last student to enter the class, the other students were already well seated, where Malyse was seated there was still space the guard asked her if she was comfortable sitting behind and she answered yes. She then sat beside Malyse, greeted her, and stayed quiet, she was so surprised to meet Jennifer and Shay in the same classroom as her. Jennifer already knew the kind of girl Kim was so pretended not to know her and remained comfortable in her seat. The teacher entered the class, introduced himself and asked the students to introduce themselves, they all introduced themselves and in Kim's turn she added she was the daughter of the one who owns "West Shoes", this was how her father's company was called, the teacher then told her he asked only for her name and not her status and she replied saying that was how she always introduced herself when someone asked anything concerning her, from the way she was expressing herself, the teacher already knew she was a troublesome girl and to avoid conflicts between himself and her family, he stayed quiet, gave his lectures and went out of class. During break, Malyse requested they go get something to eat, she followed Malyse and while going out someone called her and when she turned to check who the person was, she discovered it was Jennifer.

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.

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

Roderic Penn

I stood at my mother's open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest's voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone-he brought Charla with him. He claimed she'd had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.
