In The Midst Of Foes Chapter 1 Found Out About The Bet

" Henry! Henry!! Henry!!!" May called angrily as she stormed into Henry's room.

" What is it? May, are you ok?" Henry asked, looking scared.

" How dare you!" May said aggressively and slapped him.

She slapped him hard, Henry was shocked because he didn't know what the problem was, he stuttered;

" What... what... did ... ...I.....do? "

" You son of a gun, so you've been playing with my feelings all this while," May said angrily.

" May, what are you talking about? What did I do?" Henry asked, looking confused.

" I thought you loved me. Henry, you told me you love me, so you've been deceiving me all this while." May said, hitting him.

" Stop! Stop! What are you saying? I meant it when I said I love you, I'm not lying or deceiving you." Henry said, holding his face.

" You bastard! Toby just left your place, right?" May asked, looking into his eyes.

" Yes, I told you on the phone earlier that he was here with me. May, what's the problem? You're getting me scared." Henry said.

" I overheard all your conversations, I didn't hang up the call before you dropped your phone. I heard everything, Henry!" May yelled.

" Fuck! May, it's not what you think, I can explain. Please hear me out." Henry pleaded, trying to hold her but she pushed him.

" Explain what? What explanation do you have to make? Tell me!" May yelled and she burst into tears.

" May, I swear it's not what you think. I meant it when I said I love you. Just calm down and hear me out please." Henry said calmly.

" Hear you out? Ok, I'm listening. Tell me how you and Toby had a bet on me. So, all this while that I thought I'd found true love, I was only a bet? Really?" May asked tearfully.

" Yes, sorry, I mean no; please let me explain. May just calm down and I'll explain everything to you." Henry said.

" Ok, fine! I'm calm, explain." May said and sat on the bed.

" Ok, here is the thing, you know we both started on the wrong foot; we never liked each other, and you hated my guts so much.

So, one night during one of the guy's hangouts, Toby was the only one who knew about you amongst my friends then, so he dared me to have a fling with you, trying to get on my nerves, knowing I would get irritated at the mention of your name. When the other guys also realized that it would be a difficult task for me, they decided to make it a bet, and I was given just two months maximum to carry out the bet." Henry explained calmly.

" And you decided to go a step forward by making me fall in love with you so that you can leave me heartbroken in the end, right?" May asked at the top of her voice.

" No, a fling was what I planned initially but I fell helplessly in love with you in the process. May, I didn't lie when I said I love you; I genuinely love you, May. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me; you made me a better man, and I don't take that for granted." Henry said, almost tearing up.

" You liar! I can never believe what comes out of that gutter you call a mouth anymore. If you could deceive me into falling in love with you because of a bet, what else can't you do to me then?" May said, holding her head.

" May, I'm sorry. I didn't know I was going to fall in love with you in the process. I should have told you; I'm so sorry you found out this way; I'm sorry, May.", Henry pleaded.

" You lying bastard! I'm done with you. I'm calling off the wedding, there's no more wedding. I can't be with a liar; I don't even know the man I'm about to walk down the aisle with; I thought I knew you so well; I guess I was so wrong all along. I never knew it was just a bet all this while, I'm done!" May yelled, and she removed the engagement ring from her finger, and she threw it at him.

" No, May, you can't call off the wedding like that. What are we going to tell our families? My parents will be heartbroken, your uncle and his wife will be happy, you know they never like to see you happy. Please don't do this to us, May; I love you, I love you so much; I didn't lie when I said I love you, believe me." Henry said tearfully.

" I don't care! Maybe my uncle and his wife have been right about you all this while but I refused to listen to them because I know I don't like me. But it's fine now, I've made the decision myself to let you go. Henry, I don't want you in my life anymore." May said tearfully as she hit him.

Henry held her hands and pulled her towards him to calm her nerves, he held her tight to himself as she continued crying;

" May, you know within your heart that you don't want to call off the wedding. I know, you know I genuinely love you, but you're mad at me because I didn't open up to you, and I'm so sorry about that. May, I won't watch you call off our wedding, you know we're about to have our dream wedding, right? Please don't jeopardize it, I beg you." He said softly in her eyes.

" You should have told me," May said tearfully.

" I know and I'm sorry for not telling you," Henry said and kissed her on the forehead.

There was silence in the room for some minutes, May was still sobbing;

" Promise me you won't hide anything from me henceforth." She said looking into his eyes.

" I promise, I will never hide anything from you anymore. I love you so much, May." Henry said and kissed her on the lips.

" I love you too," May said as she wiped away her tears.

" That's my baby; please put your ring back; let me help you," Henry said with a smile as he put the ring back on her finger.

" Can't believe it, I almost called off my wedding," May said and burst into laughter.

" I know, right? You almost called off our dream wedding." Henry said and they both laughed.

" I have a question," May said softly.

" Ok, go on. I'm listening." Henry said.

" Did you record a tape of us on our first night?" May asked calmly.

" No, why would I do such a thing? It wasn't part of the bet, and even if it was, I wouldn't have obliged to it." Henry said, looking into her eyes.

" Ok, that's just what I wanted to confirm," May said smiling.

" I will never hurt you May," Henry said.

" I know and I trust you," May said with a broad smile.

" Yeah, so concerning the wedding, May, there's a problem." He said, scratching his hair.

" Problem? What is it?" May asked, looking scared.

" The problem is that... ... ... ... ... ..."

Toby entered the room, he forgot his wristwatch earlier when he came visiting.

" Oh! Sorry guys, May, I didn't know you were here. Why are your eyes swollen? Have you been crying? Dude, don't tell me you've told her?" Toby asked, looking disappointed.

" Told me what? What's going on here? What's the problem?" May asked, looking worried.

" Oh shit! You didn't tell her? Sorry guys, I have to get going, I forgot my wristwatch earlier." Toby said and left the room hurriedly. He knew he had messed up.

May and Henry kept staring at each other, she was eager to know what the problem was.

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.

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.

Inferno Heiress: Freed From Hell To Reclaim My Empire

Clara Voss

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.
