The marriage between Joslyn and Kade was a union of two prominent families in the city, but it also hid her deep, unrequited love. Five years ago, she believed that Kade had lost his sexual function due to a car accident while saving her, so she willingly accepted a platonic marriage. She even continuously invested the profits of the her family into the his family to ease her guilt. It wasn't until a chance encounter that she discovered Kade's affair with his childhood sweetheart, Scarlett, that she realized the so-called "secret illness" was all a lie. Kade had not only fully recovered but had been spiking her drinks with sleeping pills for a long time. Moreover, due to a misunderstanding from when she returned from being taken away by her uncle-mistakenly deemed as being from a "place of ill repute"-he considered her "dirty" and deliberately kept his distance. More cruelly, the car accident back then was not to save her but because Kade was on his way to pick up Scarlett at the airport. The series of betrayals and schemes finally awakened Joslyn. Under constant threat from Kade and Scarlett, she faced numerous dangers-from being pushed in front of a knife, undergoing skin grafts, to nearly falling off a cliff due to tampered brakes. Ultimately, she decided to sever ties with the past and, with her uncle's assistance, went abroad. Overseas, Joslyn found her true self, pursued a PhD in finance, and took over her family business. Unexpectedly, she encountered Kade again while dealing with gangsters. Kade, now truly remorseful, did everything to protect her from the gang, even sacrificing the his family's interests, yet it couldn't undo the past wounds. Meanwhile, Kade's half-brother, Nicolas, allied with Scarlett to disrupt the family inheritance. In the end, both Nicolas and Kade perished in an explosion. Years later, Joslyn became a CEO. She let go of past love and hatred, established a foundation to support African communities in accordance with Kade's last wish, and shifted her life's focus to greater love and responsibility, embarking on a new chapter truly her own.

Her Love for him was Gone Forever Chapter 1

Five years ago, during the accident that saved Joslyn's life, Kade suffered injuries that left him unable to be intimate.

Whenever they were alone, Joslyn would try to rekindle their connection, seeking comfort in gentle embraces and quiet affection. They spent quiet evenings together-in the living room, the garden, even the hallway-searching for any trace of the connection they once shared.

Yet, no matter how gently she reached for him or how patiently she waited, Kade remained distant-his body unresponsive, his eyes full of sorrow.

Joslyn couldn't bear to meet Kade's regretful and self-blaming gaze.

She suggested they sleep in separate rooms-and quietly accepted that their marriage might never be what she once dreamed of.

However, Kade refused to give up. He held Joslyn's hand and vowed that he would persevere with the treatment for the sake of her happiness in the rest of her life, even though there was only a faint hope.

Kade was supposed to have a check-up that day.

Joslyn, as usual, waited for him in the underground parking lot, but she accidentally found his medical report left in the car.

On a whim, she picked up the report and suddenly noticed a familiar name in the attending physician's column.

It was Scarlett Stevens...

Tracing the elegant handwriting with her fingers, Joslyn felt a mix of emotions.

Scarlett was Kade's childhood sweetheart, whom he couldn't have when he was young.

If Scarlett hadn't insisted on studying abroad back then, Joslyn might not have had her chance of getting married to Kade.

For some reason, Joslyn suddenly felt nervous when she saw the name of her former rival in love.

Lost in thought, she was already making her way upstairs, medical records in hand.

The hallway was silent except for faint, intimate voices coming from the only room with light under the door. Embarrassed, Joslyn turned to leave-she had no wish to intrude on someone else's private moment.

But she suddenly stopped walking as she heard a familiar name mentioned.

"Kade, you keep using this excuse of a doctor's appointment to see me. Aren't you afraid Joslyn might follow you one day?" Scarlett teased Kade with a hint of jealousy.

Joslyn bit her lip hard enough to taste blood in her mouth. She stiffly peered through the crack in the door.

In the dim light, Kade held Scarlett close, their silhouettes entwined in an intimate embrace that left no doubt about their betrayal.

The scene struck Joslyn like lightning.

What was going on?

Kade hadn't lost that ability at all. Had he been deceiving her all along?

The successive shocks left Joslyn dizzy, but what Kade said next nearly caused Joslyn to collapse to the floor.

"Why should I be afraid?" Kade replied coldly. "I've been drugging her milk for years to keep her asleep. And honestly... part of me hopes she finds out."

Milk... sleeping pills...

Joslyn closed her eyes and struggled to hold back her tears.

Since Kade had scheduled check-ups two years ago, Kade had always handed her a bottle of milk. He told her to have a good rest in the car after having some milk, as he didn't want to keep her from getting bored while waiting for him.

Although she hated the taste of milk, she drank it all as she thought it was Kade's love for her.

But it felt like a slap in her face after she heard the truth.

If she hadn't brought him the medical report today and forgotten to drink the milk, she might have been completely fooled by that deceitful pair.

"But I still don't understand-why go to such lengths? Pretending you're broken, avoiding her completely... only to come to me like this. Why?" Scarlett's voice pulled Joslyn back to the moment, and she stared at Kade-his expression intense, almost unrecognizable-as if seeing a stranger.

Joslyn knew Kade well-and couldn't believe he'd shut her out so completely for all these years.

She clenched her fists, and her nails nearly dug into her palms. She held her breath and waited for Kade's answer. She desperately wanted to know why he lied to her.

"Because she's... tainted," Kade finally said, his voice hollow. "It's not that I'm incapable-I just can't stand the thought of being with her. After what happened back then, the very idea makes me sick. With you, Scarlett... I feel whole again. You're the only one I want."

Joslyn's face instantly turned ashen outside the door.

Now she totally understood why Kade's eyes held some emotion that she couldn't comprehend since she returned from the kidnappers' den.

He had been misunderstanding her all along.

Joslyn felt the urge to explain everything to Kade at that moment.

The incident back then was just a misunderstanding, and she had her reasons.

But Scarlett's next words made Joslyn feel like a ridiculous clown.

"You're so ruthless. You refuse to explain things to her and let her live in guilt every day. She must think the car accident, which caused you to be impotent back then, happened due to her. But she never knew that you weren't going to save her that day and that you were just rushing to the airport to pick me up." Scarlett's laughter was like a heavy hammer pounding on Joslyn's heart.

"So what? I always want to marry you. Even if she knows the truth, she won't leave me. Besides, I've used her guilt to make her invest all of Palmer Group's profits into the Lloyd Group. I am killing two birds with one stone."

Joslyn heard no more. She didn't have the strength to.

She stormed out of the hospital, and her chest was nearly splitting from the cold air.

She felt so much pain.

For five years, she had been selflessly devoted to Kade. She was filled only with pity and guilt for him.

She had always blamed his condition on herself.

If it were not for accidentally uncovering their affair today, she would never have realized that the man she loved was nothing but a hypocritical scoundrel.

She trembled all over as she struggled to hold onto her phone. It nearly dropped to the ground several times.

After a long while, she finally gathered the courage to dial that international number.

While it was ringing, she remembered how the kidnappers took her away back then.

Her marriage to Kade was an alliance between two major business families in the city. And it was also because she loved him so much, although he didn't love her.

But after her parents passed away, the Lloyd Group gradually grew stronger than the Palmer Group. And the former even seemed to take over the latter.

Joslyn's uncle, Davin Palmer, had no choice but to move the family's businesses overseas and intended to expand the market there.

In aristocratic families, there was no room for true affection. Davin never thought of Kade as a faithful partner. He believed that it wouldn't be good for her to be with Kade, so Davin advised Joslyn to join him abroad.

But Joslyn stubbornly refused Davin. The latter forced her to get into the airport and head for the airport.

Joslyn hurriedly messaged Kade and asked him to rescue her.

She always believed that Kade had the car accident because he was in a hurry to save her.

Upon hearing the news, she ignored Davin's words and desperately got out of the car to rush back. In her haste, she tumbled down a slope and got disheveled. So the media spread rumors that she had been kidnapped and raped.

She was afraid that Kade would do something bad to Davin after Kade learned that the Palmer family's assets had been moved overseas, so she didn't explain the truth to Kade. She only wished that he believed she wasn't raped.

Kade soon suppressed the media rumors and assured her that he had everything under control.

At that time, Joslyn thought Kade had some affection for her.

But Kade's true concern was always the Palmer family's wealth. And he always loved Scarlett.

He only had suspicion for Joslyn.

During their marriage, only Joslyn fell in love.

"Davin, I've made up my mind. I want to go overseas and take over my parents' business," Joslyn said without hesitation as soon as the call connected.

"Alright, Joslyn. Don't worry. I'll arrange everything for you. Your passport and all the necessary documents will be ready in two weeks."

Joslyn felt both guilt and relief. Her stupid behavior had cost her family and friends. Thankfully, Davin hadn't given up on her and still gave her a way out.

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.

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.

Abandoned Ex-Wife: Now Untouchable

Tao Yaoyao

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.
