The Jilted Wife's Spectacular Billionaire Comeback

Zhi Yao

For ten years, I was the perfect, obedient wife to my wealthy husband, managing his severe OCD and hosting flawless high-society parties. But on our tenth anniversary, when I brought him his special hangover soup, I caught him sleeping with my younger sister in our master bedroom. Instead of panicking, he coldly handed me divorce papers with zero assets. He told me I was just a "placeholder" until my sister finished her degree and was ready to take my spot. Desperate, I called my mother for help, only to find out she had known about their affair for years. "You don't have Jana's drive or her looks. You clean house and you cook. That's not a wife, that's a domestic." My own mother sneered at me, telling me to walk away quietly because our family needed his financial support. They kicked me out of the penthouse with nothing but a suitcase, laughing that a woman who hadn't worked in a decade would end up begging on the streets. I bled for this family for ten years, only to be thrown away like garbage when my sister wanted my life. But they didn't know that while I was playing the boring housewife, I had secretly earned a Cordon Bleu diploma, a Cornell nutrition certification, and a Columbia master's degree. Using a hidden photo to blackmail a property out of him, I packed my elite credentials and landed a $300,000-a-year job managing a billionaire's estate. When my ex-husband drunkenly called days later demanding I come back to serve him, I calmly hit block.

Katie and Roger stood up applauding for Ashley as she turned towards them before blowing them kisses.

She did it... She graduated college... But what now?

Ashley passed around in her apartment located in New York, with her phone wedged between her ear and shoulder, "Anna, I'm telling you, I'm busy, I have to meet up with this photographer," she said as Anna scoffed at the other line, "Fine, but what about that idiot?" She asked as Ashley rolled her eyes, "That idiot, Anna, is my boyfriend, and Daniel's fine," she replied as Anna huffed, "What about Jake, you guys were head over heels for each other," she said as Ashley sighed, "Well, we went our separate ways, we are now strangers to one another," she said as Anna chuckled, "You know it's really funny," Anna said as Ashley furrowed, "What is?" She asked as Anna suddenly whispered, "I feel it coming," she said before breaking into a burst of uncontrollable laughter with the song 'I feel it comin' by the Weekend playing in the background.

"You're ridiculous, Anna," she said as Anna's endless laughter finally came to an end, "But in all seriousness, I have a feeling something is going to happen," she said as Ashley rolled her eyes for the second time, "You're being ridiculous, Anna," she said earning an airy giggle, "Whatever, Ash, don't make me tell you, I told you so," she said as Ashley scoffed, "Yeah, whatever, I gotta go, I'm late for work," she said before ending the call.

Ashley sighed deeply before glancing at her watch, "Gosh, I should get going to get this meeting over with.
