Mr Johnson's POV

"Nurse,where is my wife?, how is she?,what about my baby?" I asked the nurse, fidgeting a bit as she was coming out of the theatre

"Calm down and exercise more patience sir, she will be okay"she answered as she approached me.

"For how long,huh?,it's been five hours ,five good hours, and you are telling me to calm down?" I asked anxiously, getting angry a bit.

"Please sir ,calm down,we are trying our best" the nurse answered and left immediately.

I went back to the hospital bench and sat down furiously, I prayed silently for my wife and child to be in safe hands.Have lost eight children already, i can't afford to lose another. They all died due to unfortunate circumstance, I pray this one come out safely

The doctor walked to me and said "Sir,can we talk in my office?" bringing me out of my deep thought.I looked at him,he wasn't smiling, I couldn't figure out what his expressions meant

"Can we?,he said leading the way as I followed behind, confused.

I hope its not what I'm thinking.

" Have your sit sir"he said, gesturing me to sit as we entered his office.I sat down quietly ready to hear the bomb shell.

"We lost the baby"He voiced out

I ran mad immediately " what? did I hear you say you lost my child?" I asked and stood up with rage and grabbed his lab coat collar "how could you be so careless doctor, how could you?"

"We are sorry,we tried our best but she couldn't make it" he said,calmly

I sank down on my chair "my baby"I said as I cried out bitterly, noooo.

"Take heart sir"he said trying to console me.

I brought out my handkerchief and wipe off my nose .

I sniffed and said "how is my wife?" after finding my voice

"She's perfectly alright ,she needs rest".

I just bend my head in pain with so many thoughts running in my mind " not again, how long will this last? What have I done to deserve this pain? Another child gone? This pain is too much for me to bear

I raised my head with tears dropping from my eyes "This is the ninth child I'm losing doctor, was I destined to not have a child?" I said to the doctor in tears

" What? Ninth child? This is very painful" He said, looking shocked

" Yes doctor,very painful" I said, still in tears

He heive and said " I can help you"

"Help me?how?" I asked, confused.

"A woman gave birth to a set of twins few minutes ago" He said

"So?"I asked, wiping my tears with my handkerchief

"Let's switch the babies"

"What?, you want to exchange my dead baby with hers? that's an heartless thing to do" I said,in a low and sober voice not buying the idea at all

"I'm trying to help your family, your wife cannot give birth anymore, her heart is weak and any bad news given to her might endanger her life,I know u wouldn't want that, would u?" He said

I sat down quietly thinking of what he said. I love my wife,i can't endanger her life, she's my life, I depend on her.she's all I have gotten. I looked at the doctor, he was busy checking out the documents, but I think his mind is on me. He's so heartless ,I know he must have been doing this type of stuffs. I scorned under my breath, how could he be so comfortable exchanging people's babies, God will punish him.God will punish you too, a voice in me echoed, you are also doing this job with him,the voice came again. I'm saving my wife .Gosh,God please forgive me.I have no other choice.

I continued checking out the doctor, he must be waiting to hear how much? ,or I agree ,or let's do it. "God!"I muttered, frustrated.

" Okay, I will do it. I have no other choice. I still love my wife and can't afford to lose her to bad news. So How much does it cost?" I finally asked, he looked up and smiled.

"20 million Naira" He answered, but this time,not smiling.

"Okay but please, don't get caught. Give me your account details, I'll forward the money to you shortly after I leave the hospital"

He nodded his head,picked a pen and wrote down his account details in a sheet of paper and handed it to me. I collected it and left his office without saying anything further

I went straight to my wife's ward,I saw her lying peacefully on the bed,her face looks pale,she must have suffered a lot. I sat on the bed, held her hands to mine

" How are you feeling now" I asked,

"I'm weak" she answered, weakly

" Please be strong" I said, still rubbing her palms. She nodded her head

I kissed her on the fore head and left the ward. I went outside ,located my car and zoomed out of the hospital building .

17 years later

Amelia grew up to be a very beautiful but spoilt brat. Her eye balls are big to adorn her oval face and the pupil is perfect. Her hair is thick black and long enough to swiftly caress the small of her back. Her lashes are too long to be true and the brow is too full and shaped that there will be no need to chaff them. Her nose is pointed and just so right for her face. Her lips are pink and perfectly made to be kissed.she has a full mouth that will make a full blooded man to think of rosebuds because they were so red. Her skin color is just perfect,it's very fair,soft,womanly and her curves were so made for a man's satisfaction, she is indeed a perfect definition of an angel in person

Amelia's POV

"what?, you can't do this again dad. I'm in need of that money,you can't just do this to me" I shouted angrily.

My dad has been torturing me for long,he doesn't listen to me, once I wondered whether he's my real dad because that's not how other dads treat their daughters, why is mine different?, my mum isn't a problem, she supports me and gives me all I want in life.

"sweetheart, are u there?",his voice echoes from the other side of the phone. yeah,I left home because he seized my phone,so I left home to my own house,my dad is super rich so I have my own house,now my dad's problem now was just because I wanted to buy a new dress for my friend's party tonight, he kept insisting I wear my old ones, he's so heartless, even when I left his house ,he kept disturbing my brain. Gosh!.

"I hope you heard me" he said and hang up. I didn't even hear a thing of what he was blabbing, he kept on blabbing and blabbing. Now let me call mum.

I dial her number,she pick up at the second ring.

"mom!" I shouted immediately she pick up.

"my baby ,is anything the matter?"

" Yes Mom, I'm not fine" I said

"aargh, don't tell me you are sick".she said

"Im not,Dad did it again, he called my manager,"I pouted.

"what?,what's wrong with your dad?,how could he?,I'm calling him now" she said and hang up.i smile

I hope she gets him to release the account.

"yea mum" I answered as she called again.

"baby,your dad refused.I guess you got to wait till tomorrow".

"No way mum,do what u can,I'm using it tonight.send me some money mum,I need this cash"

"sweetie,you know your dad too well,he freezed my account too" she said

"can't you do something about this?"I asked feigning a cry.

"Alright angel,don't cry,I will fix it right now" she said and hang up.I groaned. to hell with you dad, shit. I i opened my laptop, my friends were already at the party texting me.

" I will be a little bit late guys" I replied their text and close the laptop, feeling frustrated. I will be meeting Dave today, the thought of Dave gave me joy immediately. If only I could be in your heart just for an hour, i will be grateful but that bitch stole you away from me.

A message popped on my phone ,I opened it,it reads:

your nanny is coming with the money ,send someone to take the money.I smiled and typed I love u mum. Mummy is just the best. I called my manager immediately.

"yes ma'am"she said, immediately she pick up.

"send someone to bring the clothes and collect the money from my nanny at Vic's hotel"

"Okay ma'am".she said. I hung up and rushed into the bathroom. I came out and saw my phone ringing.my mum was calling.

"mom" I answered

"yea sweetie ,when are you coming home?" She asked

"As soon as dad changes his behaviour, I'll come home" I answered

"I'm missing you baby"She said.

" I'm missing you too mom"

"Then come home"

"Tell the old man to apologize to me then" I said

She chuckle and said "Hope you're eating well?"

"yeah,"

I looked at the wall clock,gosh I'm late.I'm cutting the call now .

"what are u doing now?"she asked

"Reading, mom" she chuckle again at my lame lie.

"we both know you're lying" she said laughing hard.

"Okay now, you caught me,I gat to go now"

"Take care of yourself baby. I love you"

I dropped my phone on the bed without replying ' I love you too'. someone knocked,that must be my maid.I opened the door and my maid handed me a bag.wow , some extra cash from mom. I love u mom ,I shouted happily and opened the bag to find the golden short dress. I wore the dress and went into my makeup room,applied some light makeup, wear on my expensive perfume and went outside happily. I signalled the maid to lock the house. I went into my car and drove off.

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.

Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge

Xiao Hong Mao

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband’s aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason’s coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason’s mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I’m starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

I went to the New York City Clerk's office to handle a simple administrative matter, but the woman behind the glass handed me a nightmare instead. It was a certified marriage license from Clark County, Nevada, filed exactly three months ago. My vision blurred as I read the name in the spouse field: Baxter Noel. I was legally married to the ruthless billionaire whose legal team was currently suing me for intellectual property theft and trying to destroy my career. I remembered the conference in Las Vegas and a drink that tasted far too sweet, followed by a twelve-hour black hole in my memory that I had chalked up to exhaustion. When I sought help at my family's estate, my stepmother and sister didn't offer comfort; they stole my passport, shredded my clothes, and framed me for academic plagiarism to strip away my university fellowship. Even Baxter himself looked me in the eye with cold indifference, claiming he didn't know me and promising to have me arrested for fraud if I ever showed him that document again. Within twenty-four hours, I was homeless, jobless, and being hunted by the most powerful man in the city. I couldn't understand why a man who "eats people for breakfast" would be caught in the same trap as a struggling scientist like me. The confusion turned to pure terror when I looked at the witness signature on the license: Gene Mcclain. My mother, who was supposed to have died in a car crash ten years ago, had signed that paper with a fresh, trembling hand only ninety days ago. "I am holding a grenade, and I have no idea when the pin was pulled." Standing in the biting November wind with nothing but a laptop and a marriage license, I realized I was just a pawn in a much deadlier game. I stopped running and began to fight back, determined to use my unwanted status as the billionaire's wife to uncover the truth about the mother who came back from the dead.

The Placeholder Bride's Secret Billionaire Revenge

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.
