Daily Update / 1 Chapter per Day I married the man my parents had chosen, clinging to the hope of one day loving him. For them, nothing was better than marrying their daughter off to another doctor: the son of their best friends. Our first night together was our wedding night. I'd never been with anyone before, and yet I knew there was no tenderness between us; only haste and clumsiness. I don't think that was lovemaking. Aching, I lay down beside him and fell asleep until the ringing of his cell phone broke the silence. A picture of him with another woman appeared on the screen. I thought he'd ignore the call, but he answered as if I didn't exist. The irony is that, unintentionally, I ended up falling in love with him. Even though he hurt me, even though he treated me cruelly, I still dream that he'll repent and come back to me. I just need her out of his life. Sometimes I think I'm about to lose my patience: I feel like I hate him; I wonder if I'll have the strength to keep forgiving him. Will he ever truly love me... or will I have to ask for a divorce?

The CEO's unfaithful husband Chapter 1 Valentina catches them

Today I reacted badly and, without thinking, I asked for a divorce. Yes, I've been the weaker one in the relationship; my priority has been to save the marriage, but I got tired of waiting for him to change and reciprocate.

My intention wasn't to start another fight. I barely asked him where he was because I hadn't been able to sleep waiting for him. And he yelled at me with all his might. I've lost count of how many times he yelled at me... like that, as if I were worthless and he disliked seeing me too much. He yelled in my face to leave him, to get a divorce. And the worst part is that I haven't given him any reason. I'm so careful with the tone of voice I use, and I've never once reproached him or even made a rude gesture toward him.

I know he didn't want to marry me, but her, and despite that, I've endured my misfortune with the certainty in my heart that he was going to leave her.

When I arrived at the hospital this morning, I saw her get out of Sebastián's car and kiss him goodbye: the smile on her face was one of satisfaction. I know my husband keeps her hopeful and says sweet words to keep her willing to wait. To wait for him to break his commitment to me. I know he proposed to her out of love, and her mother forced him to break it off so he could marry me. Perhaps that's why she hates me, despises me, because I'm the reason for her unhappiness.

My husband's lover, Camila-that's her name-is a resident physician at Rivas Hospital, where my husband and I also work. I serve as General Manager, a position that ties me down, keeps me in control of my actions. I suffer in silence, I watch them, and I refrain from making any comments; I feign normalcy when inside I'm dying of jealousy and helplessness.

I stayed a while longer in the parking lot before entering the covered area, where the positions assigned to the managers are located: mine was the one closest to the elevator, labeled in yellow, General Manager. A position that, in the past, had always been held by men. The board of directors didn't appoint me for my career, although it's obvious I'm an excellent professional, but I'm barely thirty years old. It was motivated by the fact that I'm the granddaughter of the institution's founding doctor: a man who, like my parents, performed prominently during his tenure.

I walked briskly toward my office so as not to bump into them. I took my lab coat off the hanger and put it on, adjusting my collar and hair while the computer turned on. I stared at the screen and took a deep breath, relaxing my back.

"Good morning, Valentina, are you nervous?" The spontaneous smile of my best friend, María Fernanda, was what I needed to bring me back down to earth. She made me laugh when she curiously stared at my high heels playing with the base of the swivel chair.

"Happy day, honey. I'm here swallowing hard, I just found them: so much so that I've told her to keep up appearances in public, and she doesn't listen!" Anyway, sorry for coming on like this, but I don't have anyone to vent to. I'm stressed. After I spilled all that venom, I felt ashamed.

María Fernanda looked at me compassionately and hugged me. "You have to put up with it. What else do you have? That bitch has to get tired and leave him. Don't think it's that easy to be the other girl. She must cry as much as you, if not more." She stroked my hair. "He has to be working every day, cheering her up: promising to leave you, so she'll endure and wait for him."

"Who knows what he'll say to her? This is all my sister-in-law's fault, Lucía. She shouldn't have introduced them. She knew full well that our families have been talking about engagement for years. That irresponsible, party-loving girl: of course! They're friends, that's where it all comes down to."

"You didn't tell me that detail. So you didn't meet here at the hospital?"

"No, he told me himself during an argument that got out of hand. He went to a party with Lucía and met Camila. They're friends."

"So, you were already dating when she started as a resident here?"

"It seems like you liked each other, but it didn't go any further. Then you met again at work, and that's where you fell in love. But I don't think he loves her like he says. The thing is, she's the opposite of me: relaxed, sexy. That kind of woman always catches men's attention."

"What will he say to her? Have you wondered? Because she met him when he was single, it was a very different situation. Now he's a married man."

"What men say: that we don't sleep together and that he loves her, not me."

"She's an idiot," María Fernanda bursts out laughing.

"Of course he does. He undervalues ​​himself. He married me, and I'm not going to get a divorce."

"You bastard! Well, I'll agree with you, but I don't know what I'd do if I were you. You're so good, my friend. So noble. You give him so many opportunities..."

We remained silent, thinking, and we didn't realize...

"Look at the time! Go to the operating room right now. I'm sure they're preparing for the procedure scheduled for 10:00 a.m. Let me know what they do or say; you're my eyes and ears there."

"Oh, my friend. Sometimes I feel happy about the appointment you gave me. Other times, I think you made me head of the operating room just to inconvenience those two."

"Don't be silly! I did it because you're the most qualified and because I trust you. Stop thinking nonsense."

"I'm leaving! I'm writing to you..."

María Fernanda closed the door, and I stood there for a few minutes doing nothing, barely looking at my computer keyboard.

I looked at the photo on my desk: our wedding photo. I remember that day; in that image, my eyes said it all: pure excitement. Next to me, Sebastián: serious, placing his hand on mine. Not on her own initiative, but because she followed the photographer's instructions. How time flies! We're almost married for our first year.

We got married during the day, in the oldest church in the city of Porlamar, located in Plaza Bolívar. A very crowded place and difficult to access, even if you're driving. It was amidst the hustle and bustle: street vendors, bugles blaring, and infernal traffic. Family and friends waited for the groom to show up: that was a bad sign; he never arrived. But my mother and my best friend made sure I didn't notice. They didn't answer when I asked the time, and they wouldn't let me leave the room where I was patiently waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Later, I learned about all the calls they made to Mrs. Isabel, my mother-in-law, asking why they were taking so long to arrive. The poor woman was like crazy trying to convince her son, who apparently had a last-minute bout of indecision.

It turned out everyone was ready, except for the groom, who decided to lock himself in his room and turn off his cell phone, just minutes before the scheduled time for our wedding.

I took the picture frame in my hands and stared at that memory in detail. For a moment, I wondered: what would have become of my life if we hadn't gotten married? I knew the answer with certainty: I would have cried, at least two days straight; I would have torn up all his photos; and, perhaps, on this day I would be alone, but peaceful, doing what I love most: working.

I'd been in the office for an hour, and my hand was gripping and releasing the mouse. I still couldn't decide which file to review to start the day. Anyway, sometimes I wished I could get inside his head to find out what he was thinking: what was his version of events? Because Sebastián simply told lies or refused to talk, and when I pressed him hard, he would remind me that he didn't want to get married, as if he'd done me a favor by being with me. It depressed me to know that he didn't want me or love me, even a little, while I was falling more and more in love with him. Our last argument was last night. We yelled at each other, and he asked me to leave him alone, that he didn't want me interfering in his life. The shouting could be heard outside, and it became increasingly difficult to hide it and pretend to others that we were a happy couple.

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.

For three years, I was the perfect, invisible wife to Bart Brown. On our third anniversary, I stood in the kitchen for four hours, preparing his favorite meal with imported truffles, only to receive a cold text command. "Crysta fainted again. Get to the hospital. Now." My rare Rh-negative blood was the only thing the Brown family valued. Bart didn't want a wife; he wanted a walking blood bank for his "sick" best friend, Crysta. While I was fainting from chronic anemia, Crysta was smirking in her hospital bed, clutching Bart's hand and mocking my "peasant" lifestyle. Even his mother treated me like a servant, demanding I vacuum the floors after I'd already offered my veins for the hundredth time. When I finally reached my breaking point and signed the divorce papers, they didn't let me go quietly. They filed a false police report, accusing me of stealing a multi-million dollar diamond necklace just to watch me crawl. I didn't understand how a family could be so heartless. I had cooked their meals, cleaned their house, and literally bled for them, yet they were determined to ruin my life the moment I stopped being useful. Did they really think I was a nobody with nowhere to go? Standing outside the hospital with a bruised wrist and nothing to my name, I didn't cry. I simply took off my cheap wedding ring and dialed a secure line I hadn't touched since the day I married him. "It's me, Dad," I whispered as a fleet of black Maybachs rounded the corner. "The extraction is a go. I'm coming home."

I arrived at my uncle’s mansion looking like human trash, clutching a one-way bus ticket and a duffel bag stuffed with old newspaper. My aunt looked at me with pure disgust, as if she could smell the poverty on my skin, but they needed me for one thing: to be a sacrificial lamb. They told me I was getting married to Julian Sterling, a man the elite circles called a violent monster locked in a cage. My uncle forced me to sign away my soul to save their failing fortune, while my cousin Kayla laughed and threw a torn dress at my feet, calling me a "rat from the Rust Belt." At the Sterling estate, the nightmare only deepened. Julian’s stepmother treated me like a horse she was forced to buy, ordering the staff to "burn off" my hair before locking me in the West Wing. I was thrown into a padded cell with a man who lunged at me, his heavy chains rattling against the floor as he roared with an animalistic rage that had already killed two nurses. They thought I was a pathetic, uneducated girl who "didn't read so good." They didn't know I had extorted two million dollars from my uncle before walking out the door, or that I was secretly recording every slap and insult they threw at me for future leverage. I huddled in the corner of that dark cell, letting them watch me tremble on the security feeds. I let Julian’s sister strike me with a riding crop and splash water in my face, playing the role of the clumsy, sobbing idiot to perfection. But the moment the cameras looped, the scared girl vanished. I pinned the "monster" to the floor, cut the neural tracking chip out of his neck with a hidden scalpel, and whispered into his ear as his blue eyes finally cleared. They thought they were sending a lamb to the slaughter. They had no idea they were sending a wolf to hunt a beast.

I married Clive Harrington, the coldest billionaire in Manhattan, under a strict contract that forbade any emotional burdens. When I needed a high-risk surgery to save my sight, I checked into the clinic alone, hiding the procedure from a husband who saw me as nothing more than a legal asset. I thought I could handle the darkness in silence. But while I was blind and bandaged in my hospital bed, my biological mother called, screaming that if I didn't produce a Harrington heir by the end of the fiscal year, she would cut off the life-saving treatments for my disabled sister. I was crawling on the cold hospital floor, desperately feeling for a cane I had dropped, when I touched a pair of expensive leather shoes. It was Clive. He was supposed to be in London closing a multi-million dollar deal, but there he was, watching his "contract wife" groveling in the dark like a beggar. He didn't walk away in disgust. He carried me to a five-thousand-dollar-a-night VIP suite and sat by my bed, listening in chilling silence as another voicemail from my mother filled the room, calling me a "useless broodmare" who was only worth the trust fund disbursements my marriage secured. I expected him to remind me of Clause 34B or hand me divorce papers now that I was "damaged goods." Instead, I felt his thumb brush a stray tear from my cheek, his presence shifting from a statue of ice into a predatory shield. "I thought I was just currency to you," I whispered, my voice trembling behind the gauze. "Just an investment." Clive didn't answer with words. He picked up his phone and called his head of legal with a single, terrifying command: "Kill the Douglas family’s credit lines. Every debt, every lien—trigger them all. If they want a war, I’ll give them a massacre." As he leaned down to kiss my bandaged forehead, I realized the contract was dead. My husband wasn't protecting an asset anymore; he was hunting the people who had dared to touch what belonged to him.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."
