The CEO’s Doting Addictions Chapter 1 1

Elvira Duncan blinked and slowly squeezed her eyes opened . Her head felt numb and her body was paralyzed.

She couldn't move her body as swiftly as she wanted.Because of this, a lone tear streamed down her cheeks.

Waking up from a coma after such a long time, she was bound to feel this way.

She got hit by a car,a week ago while trying to save her boyfriend, Jack Morris from an accident.

The accident was so severe that she fell into coma and the doctors lost hope of her full recovery.

However, a miracle happened and she opened her eyes within just a week.

Elvira and Jack met a few years ago while working on jewelry design contest in college .They quickly clicked and fell in love.

The couple planned to get married in two weeks.However, Elvira went into a coma before then.

Thinking of how Jack handled her accident while taking care of the company,she felt pity for him.

She simply wanted to get up to get things done for the upcoming Jewelry Design competition which will change their lives forever .

Winning this competition,will ensure that Jack get his hands on his family's inheritance as well as mark his influence in the industry.

She didn't want him to miss this chance because of her.

She wanted to make sure that Jack wins the contest.

Just as she attempted to move her body,Elvira heard familiar voices drawing closer to her room.

Elvira quickly laid back on the bed and pretended to still be asleep.

"Jack,I can't wait any longer,let's just get married already.How long are you going to continue waiting for this vegetable?"

The voice belonged to Chloe Miller.She was Elvira's best friend.

They have been friends since first years in college.Elvira took it upon herself to help her pass out in flying colors.

When Elvira heard these words.She was immediately disheartened

Elvira couldn't believe that her best friend was truly having an affair with her fiancé .

"You told me that you didn't love her.How come you are still not married to me? If you continue like this,then I'm going to break up with you.Jack,I'm serious,if you don't get a marriage certificate with me tomorrow,I'll end my life!"

Chloe continued in a stern voice.Her eyes was teary and she looked serious.

"I'm going to become the best designer in Horington city after my new design wins an award.It will announce my status in the industry and tons of opportunities will come knocking on our doors.Why would you still need her?

"Celestial Group is going to become the top company in the entire Horington city after you won the contest in two days.You will also become a top designer.With this new status,we can be rest assured that we can take a leap without fear"

"However,how can we achieve this feat without Elvira? She is our golden ticket.Think! Get your mind to work,Chloe!" Jack held her hands and said,while looking into her eyes.

Chloe was speechless for a couple of seconds.It looked as if her sense organs had been struck by reality.However,the next splitting second,she angrily flung Jack's hands away.

She pushed him away and pointed her fingers at his face and said,"Do you take me for a fool? How is Elvira of any help to us? She is just a vegetable.She can't do anything"

Chloe looked at Elvira,lying helplessly on the bed as she uttered those words.

"This is all your fault.It was your fault that Elvira got into the accident.You shouldn't have hired those men to attack her in the first."

Jack Morris glared angrily at Chloe.

The sound of his voice echoed through the room and Elvira went numb upon hearing these words.

"If you hadn't hurt her then she would have been well and hearty.Infact,she would have completed the final touch of the designs."

"Not only that,we would gotten the final products of her designs.Now,we are stuck in this situation,thanks to you."

Jack looked frustrated.He glared furiously at Chloe.

"Wait,are you blaming me? I did everything because I loved you.I didn't want her getting in between us.How could you blame me for this? Moreover,she is not even aware that I sent those men"

"Look here,Jack,you and I know that Elvira is not smart enough to decipher the reality before her.She won't even think that I would do such a thing to her."

"Of course,she can't think of it because I made it look like my rivals were after me and she took the fall for me."

Jack said as his eyes darted towards Elvira.

"Tell me,is that the reason you refuse to marry me? Have you suddenly fallen in love with her since she became your super heroine?"

Chloe asked,her expression changed.

"Not again,Chloe! I told you,we still need her to grow the status of the company"

"Alright,we still need her but that didn't stop us from getting married behind the scenes,right?"

Chloe blinked her eyes and looked at Jack seductively.

"Are you being serious? What if she finds out when she wakes up? We'll be at a dead end"

"You worry too much for a brilliant mind.Elvira is not smart enough to detect"

Chloe was so sure about it.

"Fine,let's get the marriage certificate first thing tomorrow morning.After that,I'll ask the doctor to force Elvira into an inducement"

Jack said and his eyes glow with eeriness.

Elvira gritted her teeth and widened her eyes wishing she could stand up and beat up the shameless couple.

The tone of their voices sent anger down her throat and she felt terribly nauseated.

She clenched her fists so tightly that it ended up digging deep into her palms and blood oozes.

Doing this,she tried to suppress the anger in her chest and tried to avert the desire to walk up to them right then.

She never expected that her whole life will end up like this!

Elvira Duncan came to the limelight three years ago after winning the Fame Jeweler Competition

Because of this,her popularity sprang out through out the country and she got many opportunities.

Many notable companies in Horington offered her employment opportunities,including one from Ethereal Jewelry.

However,she was too busy helping out Jack Morris.So,she rejected all the offers that came her way.

She was so engrossed with helping Jack grow the branch of the Morris Group -Celestial Jewels that was given to him as part of his growing up test that she lost track of things.

Two years she was ousted from a contest when someone accused her of plagiarism.

The entire world criticized and made fun of her efforts.She searched the entirety of her designs but she couldn't find a fault with her work.

Jack Morris,was by her side at this time.

Jack proposed that Elvira worked behind the scenes while Chloe attended the competitions and get the credits.

She thought that Jack loved and valued her presence that was why he wanted her to take charge of things.

However,she was just another puppet in their hands.

The audacious couple has been lovesick while she took the force upon herself to help Jack grow the business without any help from the two of them.

Suddenly,she found that she had been fooled by them

Thinking about,made her dwell in self mockery as it occurred to her that the signs were there.

Being fretful for quite a long time.Elvira finally heard the footsteps of the slime ball and the vamp departing the room.

Thankfully,it was dead of the night.So,nobody could see that she was awake without coming closer.

Also,her ward room was farthest from the rest of the rooms in the hospital,it was safe for her to roam around without discovered.

She quickly stood up from the bed and frantically search through the bed stand.

Her lips coiled into a thin smile when she found her phone in the drawer.

It was a good thing that her phone didn't get damaged during the accident.

Elvira picked up the phone and searched through her contact lists.

"I need your help right now.Can you bring me a few documents from my house?"

Elvira said,immediately the call got connected.

"Wait,are you a ghost? Are you really awake now?

"I don't have much time.I'll send you the details of the items I need"

Elvira hung up the phone after that and sat down on the bed with tears in her eyes.

"This is the last time,I'll cry for you.Now,I'll make you two cry"

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.

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.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

Abandoned Ex-Wife: Now Untouchable

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.
