The 1314th Jilted Bride Chapter 1

For ten years I planned our dream wedding-over and over-while my CEO fiancé Kody Morgan found ways to miss every single one.

Ever since Tonya Buckley, his childhood sweetheart, returned to the country, my wedding had become a ticking time bomb.

She caused a scene on the eve of my wedding, and Kody always stood me up.

This last time, Tonya cut her finger, and a few drops of blood spilled dramatically.

Kody anxiously ran red lights, risking everything to rush her to the ER, insisting the doctor check her carefully.

Meanwhile, I faced the guests' derisive stares and received only Kody's dismissive excuse. "Does it have to be today? We've canceled so many times already, let's reschedule for next weekend. Tonya faints at the sight of blood. I need to stay with her. You should understand me."

He reminisces about their childhood bond, granting Tonya every request, while neglecting me.

Actually, I didn't have to marry him.

When his absence became a pattern, I married someone else.

...

The night before yet another one of our countless wedding attempts, Tonya updated her social media status.

The photo showed her slender finger with a cut, blood oozing out.

She tagged my fiancé, Kody. "Feeling dizzy, all I wanted was to make a heart-shaped fruit platter for you and your fiancée..."

My nerves began to fray, anxiety and irritation flooding my mind.

When I dialed Kody's number, he was already en route to the hospital with Tonya.

His voice was anxious. "Tonya fainted at the sight of blood. What's so urgent that you had to call me now?"

He was practically shouting, and I could hear the blaring of horns.

"I'm driving. Damn, why is it all red lights!" He rarely cursed. In our ten-year relationship, he had always been emotionally stable.

It seemed only matters concerning Tonya could make him lose control and break his principles.

My hand shook as I held the phone. "I just wanted to remind you, tomorrow is our wedding..."

But he didn't wait for me to finish. He had already hung up in haste because Tonya whimpered. "Kody, my head is spinning. Am I going to die?"

I stared at the photo for a long time. The cut was small, apart from the droplets of blood, it already showed signs of healing.

My best friend, Melinda Diaz, lying on the large wedding bed, leaned over for a glance and rolled her eyes.

"That tiny cut would heal quickly. Only Kody would be so flustered, like a rookie." Her words shattered my last bit of hope.

Seeing my weary expression, Melinda forced a smile to comfort me. "Kody is just too nervous. Once the doctor finishes treating Tonya's wound, he'll lower his head and come to make it up to you. Remember last time he swore it would never happen again. Clara, give him another chance. He won't mess up something so important."

But all I felt inside was bitterness.

We had planned our wedding thousands of times, and it had already become a joke that people were talking about in Clarment.

Even the local forums had a topic tag because of it.

"Has Clara married today?"

Three years ago, at our first wedding, Kody showed up five hours late.

The CEO, who couldn't even unscrew a bottle cap without his assistant, dragged a suitcase, holding Tonya's neck pillow and coat in one hand.

He was busy picking up, Tonya, his childhood sweetheart, who had left in a fit of anger years ago, listening to her endless tales of her experiences abroad, completely forgetting about our wedding.

That time, he was full of guilt, apologizing to me repeatedly. "Clara, it's all my fault. How could I forget something so important? Next week, okay? I'll make sure you're the most beautiful bride in Clarment."

I had never seen him apologize like this. Although I felt aggrieved, I forgave him.

However, since then, it was as if we were cursed.

No matter if we postponed by a day or a week, Kody would always abandon me for Tonya.

Once, it poured rain, and she couldn't hail a cab, insisting Kody pick her up himself.

Another time, her nail broke, and Kody accompanied her to a private club for repairs.

Yet another time, she wanted to eat imported salmon, and he personally bought it and delivered it to her.

The most outrageous was the last time, outside the wedding hall, she twisted her ankle. Kody had already changed into his tuxedo, but in front of all the guests, he picked Tonya up and left.

Left behind, wearing a long trailing veil, I was ignored.

Tonya looked over his shoulder, her eyes full of contempt, mouthing words to mock my embarrassment. "Even a thousand times, he'll only care more about me, you fool."

That was the most intense argument Kody and I ever had.

But he had lost patience with me long ago.

"Clara, Tonya's parents have emigrated. She has no one else to rely on here but me. I can't ignore her. If you can't even tolerate my childhood friend, I don't know how we'll get along in the long run." His words left me stunned.

Childhood friend? He lightly justified all those times he stayed with Tonya through the night, fed her in front of me, and all those excessive actions with a simple understatement.

Even when I cried out of grievance, he was disgusted. "Don't let Tonya see you like this. She's already been patient with you. I don't want to upset her."

So he couldn't see my sorrow at all.

After countless times, he was so dismissive that he didn't care about my feelings at all.

From dawn till morning, a small cut had him mobilize all the hospital's experts, checking Tonya carefully, fearing any mistake.

With less than an hour until our wedding, he finally answered the phone, but his voice was full of fatigue and impatience. "Does it have to be today? We've canceled so many times already, let's reschedule for next weekend."

He said Tonya fainted at the sight of blood, so he had to stay with her.

I held back my tears and softly asked him. "Where are you? Kody, there's still an hour left. If you hurry, you can make it..."

Before I even uttered the words "I'll wait for you", he was already annoyed.

"Clara, we've been together for so long. When will you learn to be more understanding? Our wedding will happen eventually, why must it be today? I care about you, but Tonya is also very important to me. Of course, I want her to witness my happiness too. But do you think she can attend our wedding today under these circumstances?"

He then hastily said, "Cancel it for now, we'll hold it next week."

Then he hung up again.

Perhaps fearing I would disturb Tonya's rest, he simply turned off his phone.

I collapsed onto the floor, lost and disoriented, a voice in my head shouting deafeningly.

Just because Tonya couldn't attend, my wedding was casually canceled.

What did Kody see me as?

He claimed to care about me, but he didn't care at all.

Melinda peeked in nervously, asking if Kody had arrived.

"The guests are all here."

Should I cancel the wedding and become the laughingstock again, and then wait for him to come with a lighthearted explanation?

I shook my head weakly, and the tears I had held back finally burst out. "No, the wedding will proceed as planned."

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge

Xiao Hong Mao
4.3

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.
