Mr. Ex Knelt Before Me Chapter 1 Warm Mornings, Cold Truths

Chapter 1

'Ding...dong...'

The sound of the bell rang, the morning was very bright, the sky was blue with a gentle breeze, the streets were starting to get noisy but not around the house of Anna Beatrice or just call her Tris. A 25-year-old girl who lives with her grandmother.

Tris who was preparing breakfast immediately took off her apron when she heard someone coming, and opened the door. Her warm smile appeared when she found a kind, tall, and handsome man standing in front of her with a banana cake in his hand.

"Have you guys had breakfast?" The man said to Tris, that he was Tris' boyfriend, Christopher Sterling, Tris usually called him Chris and that's what people called him.

"Not yet, come in, it looks like you brought something for dessert, Gwen is waiting for you there," Tris said while pointing towards the living room, where her grandmother was sitting there with knitting in her hands, there was nothing else she could do but knit, she even made a blanket for Tris and a pillow case, and many others.

After giving the banana cake to Tris, Chris immediately approached Gwen, greeting her warml.

"What brings you here so early Chris? Have you had breakfast? Tris is making something in the kitchen," Gwen said.

"Nothing Gwen, my mom made a banana cake and asked me to bring it here," Chris said, yes they did live close by, maybe only about 3 to 4 blocks away.

"Give my thanks to your mom," Gwen said and Chris just smiled before he approached Tris at the dining table.

"What breakfast did you make today?" Chris said as he hugged Tris from behind and rested his chin on Tris' shoulder.

"Just something simple, I just made scrambled eggs with sausage, mushrooms, and mashed potatoes, Gwen is having a harder time accepting another food these days, so I just made this, have you had breakfast?" Tris said.

"Yes, I already had breakfast, I just came to give you guys dessert, today I have to go to work early because of the shift change, so I don't think we can spend the night like usual," Chris said.

The man works at a Bar and Restaurant as a waiter, and Tris works at a library on the outskirts of town, usually, they spend the night together watching movies or just walking around near their house.

The two lovebirds are busy discussing what will happen in 5 years or even 20 years. Of course, marriage is the goal of their relationship, it is also a topic that they always talk about almost every day.

"It's okay, and what about the company you applied to yesterday? Did they contact you?" Tris said.

"Not yet, I think they will reject me like the others, maybe I really won't be able to work in a company, so make sure you wait patiently for me because I will marry you," Chris said, kissing Tris's cheek before letting go of his hug.

"Don't worry, they will accept you, you have a lot of work experience and I don't think there is any reason for them to reject a hard worker like you," Tris said with a smile in front of her boyfriend.

"I hope so, I will let you know later, ahh I have to go or I will be late if I stay here, I love you, Tris," Chris pecked Tris' lips after realizing that he was almost late for work, Chris left and Tris called Gwen to have breakfast together.

At the dining table, Tris and Gwen sat facing each other, they enjoyed the simple breakfast that Tris made.

"Anna," Gwen said.

"Gweeny, please don't call me that," Tris said.

"But that's your name, how long are you going to hate that name?" Gwen said.

"I don't hate that name, I just don't like hearing it," Tris said.

"Your father called me yesterday, he asked how you are and if can you answer his call just once, he must miss you," Gwen said.

"I decided to stay here because I don't want to deal with him anymore, and I hope you understand my decision, I just don't like being a part of what he has planned," Tris said.

"But as a father he must have thought of the best for you, everything he gave, everything he did for you, and it was for your own good Tris," Gwen said.

"Do you mind if I stay here?" Tris said.

"Of course not, I'm happy because I'm not alone and I don't have to live in a nursing home, but I'm getting older, I don't know how much longer I can accompany you here Tris, and I'm not the only family you have, you just have to accept everything, and forgive them," Gwen said.

"I'm sorry, but I'm full, enjoy your breakfast, I'm going now, I love you Gweeny," Tris got up from her seat, and kissed her grandmother's cheek before going to work.

It only took Tris about a 10-minute bus ride to get there to her workplace. The library was quite large and there was only her and one other person on duty. She was Anne Cordelia, luckily Tris didn't choose Anna as her nickname.

Anne had only worked there for 4 months, but they seemed quite close, maybe because they had some similarities. Anne and Tris liked romantic movies, even their favorite romantic movies were the same, they also really liked Cheeseburgers with extra pickles and mustard, and many more.

They were the same age, only Anne was engaged to a man who was matched by her parents and would be married next year.

"Morning, you came first," Tris greeted Anne who seemed to be arranging several books in a trolley to return them to the shelf.

"I think I'm late," Anne said and left Tris.

The atmosphere in the library was very quiet, many came and spent time reading or just returning the books they borrowed. At first, Tris didn't think that there were still so many people coming to the library, even many couples chose that place as their date spot.

"What's wrong with your face? Are you guys fighting again?" Tris said as she noticed Anne's gloomy face.

"That guy is annoying, my parents should have seen that side of him instead of forcing me to accept all his flaws," Anne said.

"Maybe you just need to convince your parents that their choice doesn't make you happy," Tris said.

"At least I have to find someone who can convince them that their choice is wrong," Anne said.

Anne didn't look like a simple girl, her parents were quite rich with the family business they had, it's just that Anne didn't want to spend her time at home with her mother and father, and decided to work in the library.

Tris and Anne ordered food for lunch at their favorite fast food restaurant, with the same menu they ordered a double cheeseburger with extra pickles and fries, not to forget a large glass of cola.

Anne's phone lit up and someone's name appeared on it, she named him 'Boo', Tris who was sitting next to Anne could see it clearly but Anne ignored the call.

"I think someone called you," Tris said.

"Ah I'll call him back later," Anne said.

"Is that your fiancé?" Tris said.

"No, he's just someone from the past," Anne said.

"It seems like he's still the same person in your heart, you didn't change his name," Tris said and Anne just chuckled.

"He's the reason I came back here," Anne said.

"What do you mean?" Tris said.

"My father sent me abroad to study and since then I haven't seen him again, my father knows about my relationship and of course, he doesn't like it, he thinks this man is just using me, but a few months ago he contacted me again, and he knew I was engaged, but he said he would do anything to get me back," Anne said.

"It wasn't easy, but I believe the power of love can conquer everything," Tris said.

She looked at her phone screen lying beside her, there was no call or message from Chris, even though he usually always reminded Tris to have lunch.

Seeing Anne was like seeing herself in the mirror, she didn't even think that there was a girl who looked similar to her, not only in appearance but also in taste, maybe their way of thinking was also similar, and luckily Anne already had her crush, because otherwise Chris might have fallen in love when he saw her.

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.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda

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.

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.
