From Orphan To Heiress Chapter 1 The Divorce

Kayla's POV

"Sign these papers!" Eric, my husband yelled, throwing a stack of papers in my face. Instantly, I bent down a bit and picked them, curious about what they were.

My eyes widened in surprise as I realized what the papers were all about.

"Are these truly documents for divorce?" I asked in a composed tone, trying my best to conceal the pain I was feeling.

"She's not just a leech and a poor miserable orphan but also a very daft ugly-looking overweight woman who finds it very hard to comprehend things!" Agatha, my mother-in-law mocked, causing his son to burst into laughter.

My eyes grew misty and before I knew it, I had already started shedding tears.

"Your crocodile tears will not save you, Kayla. Sign these papers and leave our lives," he barked.

"Why?"

"Why do you want to divorce me? Why do you want to end our three years of marriage just like that? Where did I go wrong?" I managed to ask amidst tears.

"You had just one job to do, Kayla. Just one job but you blew it. Take the blame for Jason's crime but you declined with the excuse of your license being at stake. We all know that you're not going to be in jail for more than three years but you refused regardless. Even with your overweight and ugly self, My mother and I have done nothing but love you. We accepted you the way you're knowing fully well that it wasn't this way from the onset but what did you do? You paid us back with evil. Kayla, you are such an ingrate and I hate you for this. Just sign the papers and go away!" He sneered.

Cleaning my tears with my pinky finger, I knelt before my husband and mother-in-law. "Please, don't send me away, I have nowhere else to go. I can do any other thing apart from going to jail in place of your brother," I implored

"If you can't do that for us then you are of no use to us! Just sign the goddamn papers, you ugly fat fck!" Mrs. Agatha yelled.

I got up from the floor, settling on the sofa. With my fingers trembling, I reached out for the pen on the table before me, turning the pages of the papers and trying to read through them.

"You're wasting time, Kayla," Eric warned, pacing around the room.

"Eric, please don't have me do this. I love you with everything I have," I pleaded.

My mother-in-law burst into laughter, throwing her legs up in the air. "You amaze me, silly woman,"

Ignoring her, I dumped the papers and pen and rose from the sofa, enclosing the distance between Eric and me.

I reached out for his round face, staring into his brown eyes but he brushed my hand off his face.

"Eric," I said softly.

I continued, "I love you so much and you know that I do. From the moment I set my eyes on you back in college, I loved you. We had come a long way and had achieved a lot together as a couple. You said you loved me. No, you actually did love me, I felt it. It just hurt me so much that all that you felt for me had been thrown away just like that only because I unintentionally neglected myself and ended up being a bit overweight.

I had quit my career as an attorney to become a housewife just for you and your family. I had accepted every undeserving treatment from you and your family. And ultimately, instead of being mad at you for cheating on me with your ex, I stooped so low to make friends with her just to figure out what way I had gone wrong. Even when I wasn't the problem, Eric, I made myself the problem and worked towards being better for you but this is how you decide to pay me back?"

"Could you..." I stammered, sobbing profusely. "Could you please have a rethink, my hus..." Before I could finish up my statement, a wave of a stinging slap crashed against my face, leaving me shocked in silence for a moment.

I sobbed, tightly gripping my chest for comfort.

"Who's your husband?!" He yelled

Eric reached out for my long brown hair, yanking me toward the table where the divorce papers were. He forcefully dropped me on the floor, "Sign this right now!"

"Serves you right," I heard his mother chip in.

Without a choice, I signed the papers, sealing them with my thumbprint.

"Finally," Mrs Agatha sang.

I heard Eric give off a sign of relief followed by an evil smirk. He walked towards the exit of the room, stopping in his tracks, then said, "You have just thirty minutes to leave the Watsons' residence,"

"Eric! Eric, please!" I begged continuously but he turned deaf ears, walking out of the room. I turned my attention to Eric's mother, grabbing her left leg, "Mother, please help me," I cried. She pushed my hands off her leg, stood up while adjusting her clothes, and walked out on me without saying a word.

I curled up on the floor, my heart aching nonstop. I was heartbroken and devastated but above all, I was confused. I didn't know where to go or whom to run to. I literally had no one apart from my ex-husband's family. I had saved a little from my pay when I was still working class but I was very much sure that it wouldn't in any way be enough for the journey I was about to embark on.

I jolted up from the floor, making my way to the room I shared with Eric. I reached out for my small traveling box, folding little clothes inside it. After I was done, I grabbed my clutch and hung it on my shoulder while tightly holding my box in my hand. Without delay, I headed for the door, stopping by the kitchen to grab a snack. I felt a tiny bit of guilt while feeding on the snack but then If I was going to cry, I would need strength for it. In a few minutes, I found myself downstairs, staring at the place that had forever been my home. I bid it farewell, refusing to say my goodbyes to Eric and his mother.

"Next bus stop please," I said to the bus driver who didn't bother to say a word to me. I made my way to the empty seat on the bus, suddenly I felt my vision blur and my head spin. The bus started to spin around me, and everything went dark. I felt myself falling, and then suddenly, strong arms caught me.

"Are you okay?" A deeply manly voice asked.

I thought I was waking up in the arms of Arthur, the man I loved. But as the morning light hit the Hamptons estate, the man buttoning his cuffs by the window turned around with eyes like chips of ice. It was Augustus Riddle, Arthur’s cruel younger brother, and I had just spent the night whispering confessions of love into the wrong man's ear. The night I thought was a beautiful beginning turned into a devastating nightmare. Instead of comfort, Gus treated me like a stain on his expensive carpet, scribbling a check for "services rendered" before shoving me into a dark service corridor to hide my existence from his brother. "How much does it cost to buy your silence?" He sneered, before leaving me barefoot in a torrential downpour while he drove away in a luxury Cadillac. Four years later, I am a struggling actress in Los Angeles, working double shifts as a barista just to keep the lights on. My life was finally stable until my roommate dragged me to a high-end dinner to meet her new "influential" boyfriend. The man sitting at the table, looking more arrogant and lethal than ever, was Augustus. He spent the entire night humiliating me, calling me a pathetic amateur and a social climber in front of my only friends. When I fled into the rain and collapsed on the sidewalk, skinning my knee until I bled, he watched from his car. He saw me clutching a plastic baggie containing the taped-together pieces of that four-year-old check—the only proof of my shame. He looked at me like roadkill, rolled up his window, and drove off into the dark. I couldn't understand why he was doing this. Why did he hate me enough to crush me, yet remember that I couldn't handle the smell of cigarette smoke? Why did he leave me bleeding in the street, only to send expensive medical supplies and coffee to my door the very next morning? "I'm moving out." I told my roommates, realizing that Gus Riddle didn't just want to destroy me; he wanted to haunt me. I grabbed my suitcase and walked out with eighty dollars to my name, finally ready to disappear into the city before he could burn the rest of my life to the ground.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

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.
