She Dumped her Fiancé after he Postponed their wedding Ten Times Chapter 1

After Anna Briggs had been kidnapped, she developed aphasia.

Despite the swirling rumors, Braeden Hayes stood by her side unwaveringly.

He even defied the pressure and swiftly announced their engagement and built her an idyllic estate-a utopia crafted just for her.

It was universally said that Braeden cherished Anna as his own life.

Yet, he had postponed their wedding nine times for various reasons.

On the eve of their tenth wedding attempt, Anna accidentally overheard news of Braeden's engagement to another woman.

"Are you really planning to keep Anna in the dark forever? Luckily for your quick thinking, you managed to pull off nine weddings without a hitch."

Anna's blood ran cold instantly.

After discovering the truth, she did nothing but quietly leave.

Then she set the estate ablaze and vanished without a trace.

Braeden, however, went mad searching for her everywhere.

"Anna, I really can't live without you. Please come back with me, won't you?"

Braeden's pleas were abject, like a dog fawning for scraps.

...

On the fifth anniversary of their relationship, Anna braved the pouring rain to visit the club Braeden frequented, hoping to surprise him.

At the private room's entrance, she dabbed at her damp strands of hair.

At her follow-up appointment today, the doctor told Anna there were promising signs of recovery from her aphasia. If she kept up with the treatment, it might not be long before she fully regained her speech.

Her fingers had just brushed against the door when a male voice, laced with laughter, reached her from inside the private room. "Braeden, your wedding with Carol is just a week away. Have you thought about how to explain it to Anna?"

"That's easy." Braeden's voice, tinged with the soft warmth of wine, remarked, "I've kept her like a bird in a gilded cage in that estate for two years. As long as she doesn't step outside, she'll never know about my grand wedding with Carol."

Anna's hand stilled, the gesture freezing mid-air.

Her heart seemed to skip a beat.

Braeden continued, "Since developing aphasia, Anna has become too self-conscious to venture out. It's simply impossible for her to have discovered my new marriage."

Anna stood frozen, and her hand was suspended in mid-air.

She desperately wanted to push the door open, but a crushing sense of inadequacy and the fear of losing what little she had left stripped her of the courage to face what lay beyond.

Laughter echoed from the room, but Anna felt ice-cold. Her blood seemed to have congealed.

She remembered the nine postponed weddings with Braeden in the past two years.

The first time, he took her to his bachelor party, where she drank too much and missed the wedding.

The second time, her cat went missing, and Braeden spent the whole night helping her search for it, leading to another cancellation.

The ninth time, Braeden was on his way to pick her up when a car accident landed him in the hospital.

After he recovered, he held her tightly. "Anna, don't worry. For the tenth time, I promise you the most unforgettable grand wedding."

Anna held onto this hope and longed for it.

But she learned that he was marrying another woman instead.

The nine failed weddings had, over time, sunk Anna into a quagmire of self-doubt and emotional exhaustion.

It was Braeden who repeatedly comforted her and held her in his arms. "Good things take time, right?"

Anna trembled uncontrollably. She tried desperately to hold back tears, but they ran down uncontrollably.

Braeden's voice was heard again from the room. "I'll keep Anna on the estate forever. She'll never know the truth."

"If she hadn't insisted on coming to see you and surprising you back then, she wouldn't have been kidnapped. But let's not dwell on the past," a friend of Braeden's remarked. "You're smart enough to have postponed nine weddings."

"One can hardly blame me. The woman the Hayes family marries must be a virgin. The Moore family is our business partner, and Carol is a virgin. It leaves no room for criticism."

"A virgin? Braeden, are you saying that you've already..."

Braeden chuckled. "Do you even need to ask? We had done it for a whole night and used a lot of extra care. I personally verified it. She is a virgin."

Anna's mind buzzed.

Everything she had believed to be the most sacred love had been nothing but an elaborate fraud.

Two years ago, Braeden had spent countless nights by her side in the hospital. He had vowed to watch over and protect her for a lifetime.

She had believed that Braeden was the light of her life.

But now she realized he had always despised her.

She had thought that she could spend the rest of her life under Braeden's protection.

But he was now giving another woman the grand wedding.

Anna's heart felt torn into pieces, shattering to the floor.

The people in the room continued talking, but Anna no longer had the courage to listen to them.

She fled into the cold rain.

She had wanted to tell him face-to-face that she wasn't raped and that her aphasia was almost cured.

She had hoped to tell him herself that they could love like a normal couple, get married, and live happily ever after.

But it seemed that none of that was necessary now.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge

Xiao Hong Mao

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.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

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.
