Yours, Never Again Chapter 1 First Chapter

Eloise's pov

It was a typical sunny day and I was on my way to the library. My friends had texted me earlier that they were already at the library. We planned to meet there for our usual group study.

Someone suddenly pulled me and called my name. "Eloise."

I took off my sunglasses to see who it was. "David," I exclaimed as I hugged him.

"How have you been girl? I have not seen you since our freshman night. I tried contacting you but I couldn't reach you."

"Buddy, I have been quite alright. I lost my phone during our freshman night, my careless ass didn't back up my files so I couldn't retrieve them."

" I'm sorry about that honey, can I scan your phone's QR code? You know so I can text you later."

"Sure." I opened my phone then I stretched it for him to scan it.

"I have a class in five mins, I've got to run. See you around love." He said as he was done with the scanning.

"Bye, Buddy." I nudged him then he made his way to his class.

I continued my journey to the library as I increased my pace like my life depended on it. I soon got to the library, I went to the usual spot I always study with my friends.

They were reading already. "You are seven minutes later than usual," Emmanuel said without looking at me.

"I'm sorry guys, I bumped into an old friend."

"It's fine, let's just start what we are here for. I have an appointment with my editor at four." Tory muttered

"Let's get started babies," I whispered.

***

I got home just before the curfew my dad's wife Rose set for me. I lost my mom when I was born, my dad remarried when I was fourteen.

I guess my dad's not home, I have to listen to his wife nag me.

"Eloise, who took you shopping for new clothes? Are you seeing a rich man?" Rose yelled at me.

"What if I am? You won't even let me spend my dad's money. I thought we agreed that my room was off-limits. " I yelled back.

"Sly bitch. Your dad is working his old ass off while his little daughter is whoring around. Scram!" She screamed again.

I went to my room angrily, tears flowed down my eyes as I sat on my bed. I took a look at the picture of my mom on my bedstead. "I'm tired of living like this mom. What should I do?" I sobbed.

Every night at ten, Rose goes to the country club in our estate. That's also when my dad returns from work. I threw my stuff roughly into my traveling boxes and waited till ten.

Soon I heard my dad's voice. " Eloise! Rose! Is anyone one home?" He called and I heard something clatter. I stood up from bed and went to the living room. He was placing the groceries in the fridge.

"Eloise, I thought you were working on your walking steps." He said still arranging the groceries. I pulled out a dining chair and sat on it.

"Dad, can we talk?" I said quietly.

"Sure," He closed the fridge and he sat on a chair opposite me. He looked at my face closely.

"El, have you been crying? What's wrong? I have not since you cry in a long time. Your face is swollen." I could see that he was worried.

"I wasn't crying. It is probably swollen because I just woke up." I pinched my thighs as I lied to him. I hated lying to my dad.

"Oh, so what is it you wanted to say?" He asked curiously.

"I want to move out, sir." I blurted out.

Victor's pov

It's my turn to go on a dinner date with my mom. My brothers had already done their shift, this had been our routine since we lost our father last year. He died with his best friend in a car accident.

My mom is a strong woman that always hides her emotions. Watching her work alongside my dad at the company was so sweet. Their love was so grateful that when he died she broke down.

After she got well, we decided to go on lunch dates with her frequently. She's heading our company alone as my elder brothers are not interested in Business.

I had reserved her favorite restaurant then I went to pick her up at her home. She was already waiting outside the house. I got out of the car to get the door for her like my dad always did.

I grabbed her hand lightly and kissed it "Good evening my lady."

"Good evening Lord Hart," She chuckled softly.

I opened the passenger's door with my other hand. "I can see you have started seeing this Bridgherton series."

"Yes, My lord." She said as I helped her in. I closed the door after her and got into the driver's seat.

When we got to the restaurant, the staff had lined up to greet us outside. We were ushered into the already empty restaurant. The waiters brought food to our table and a brand was playing softly.

"Victor dear, I want you to start your internship in the company as soon as possible. " She said as she wiped her mouth. That surprised me.

"All of a sudden?" I asked gently trying to maintain my cool.

"I don't want the members of the board to see through you. If you just come immediately after your graduation, they will grumble. You will be in my secretarial team, that way I would build you myself."

"Yes, boss. Can we keep eating Ms? I don't like that my date keeps talking about work when we are supposed to enjoy the moment."

My mom called Mr. Garry, our driver to come to pick us up as we both had wine. While we were waiting for Mr. Garry we decided to dance.

"I was meaning to ask you, It's been a while since you talked about aunt Stephanie." I held her waist as she placed her arm on my neck.

"Ah, Stephanie. We hung out yesterday, David is also starting his internship."

"Nice," I said happily and we danced for a while.

"Your driver is here sir." The manager of the restaurant said to us.

"Thanks for hosting us tonight, Mr manager. Let's go, son. " My mom said as she supported me with her weight.

He escorted us to our car and sent us off.

Mr. Garry dropped me off at my dorm in college. I could remember that my mom kissed me Good night on my forehead.

Does she think I'm four or what? I managed to take myself to my room and I slouched on my bed as soon as I entered my room.

The wine I had with mom was surely an alcoholic one because there's no other explanation for my state.

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.

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

Xiao Xiaosu

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.

The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback

The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback

Huo Wuer

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband's Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn't find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn't even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father's legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn's party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara's health and managing every detail of Caden's empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I'd drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause-if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I'd forgotten.

The Discarded Heiress: Marrying My Lethal Husband

The Discarded Heiress: Marrying My Lethal Husband

Xiao Wang

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."
