Ending Marriage Because Of A Dog Novel Cover

Ending Marriage Because Of A Dog

I've been with Kyle for six years, and for those six years, I've also taken care of his dog. But tonight, when I took the dog out for a walk, it suddenly and excitedly ran over to Kyle's ex-girlfriend, leaping into her arms. I didn't have time to react before it yanked me to the ground. I lost the baby. On the way to the hospital, I suddenly saw everything in a new light. A dog with a different master will never truly become yours, no matter how much you care for it. The same goes for people. When I got home, I told Kyle I wanted a divorce. He frowned in disbelief, asking, "You're ending our marriage because of a dog?" "Yes, just because of a dog."

Chapter 4

Gu Yanshan was up to his old tricks again, and he didn't even care if I divorced him, using my misfortune to boost Bai Rui's success.

I looked at the director, understanding she was just an employee who had to follow orders from above.

Once, Gu Yanshan would personally come to me, but after tolerating him for so long, he felt he could send anyone to convey his wishes, and out of fear of losing him, I would always choose to compromise.

But this time, my entry into the competition was earned through my own merit. Facing numerous competitors, I networked tirelessly and charmed my way to seize the opportunity from other companies.

If I won first place, I would have the chance to go abroad and study under the most renowned designers.

Meanwhile, Bai Rui did nothing and simply sat there, with opportunities handed to her by Gu Yanshan.

Not only did I secure the competition spot, but I also worked tirelessly on the design drafts, sketching day and night. My room was overflowing with discarded paper, and I never gave up, even while dealing with pregnancy symptoms.

"You don't need to worry; I'll speak to Mr. Gu, " I told the director, who had no choice but to let me go to Gu Yanshan's office alone.

As soon as I reached the door, the secretary stopped me.

"Madam, Mr. Gu is... busy. Please come back later."

The secretary's nervous expression made it clear she was lying. I didn't care; these people were all in cahoots, covering for Gu Yanshan countless times.

From the office, Bai Rui's affected voice could be heard, "Ah Shan, am I really that stupid? I can't even manage such a small task. How can I compete?"

From Bai Rui's words, it seemed she already considered the competition spot hers.

While I was drinking myself to sleep on the street for that spot, Bai Rui was luxuriating in a bath at home.

While the organizers were giving me a hard time, Bai Rui was out shopping.

We can't choose our social class, but we can choose how hard we work. Since Bai Rui joined the company, she hadn't put in a day's worth of hard work, and nobody respected her.

I wasn't sure if Bai Rui was inherently shameless or if Gu Yanshan's enabling had become a habit for her. Standing outside the door, I felt nauseated.

The secretary looked at me awkwardly, perhaps afraid I'd explode right then, considering my husband was patiently accompanying a female employee during work hours.

But they didn't know that I was here to seek my own fairness. Regardless of Gu Yanshan and Bai Rui's actions, they no longer stirred any emotion within me.

I kicked the door open, and Gu Yanshan and Bai Rui stared at me in shock.

Once he recovered, Gu Yanshan shouted angrily, "Tang Li, have you lost your mind? This is a company, not a place for your tantrums!"

Eden's eighteenth birthday was supposed to be her moment-the night she'd finally tell him. The boy she grew up loving. The one who kissed every girl but her. The one she saved her virginity for. She's spent years dreaming of Liam, chasing his smile, starving for his attention. But tonight, all he sees is the next girl he can break. And Eden? She's not enough. Desperate to change that, she does the unthinkable. She turns to Hunter Cross. Captain of the hockey team. Cold. Arrogant. Brutally sexual. The kind of man girls dare not fantasize about-but Eden does. She begs him to teach her how to flirt, how to kiss, how to touch a man until he forgets every woman before her. Hunter agrees-but only under one condition. "If I teach you how to seduce him, then for one month... you belong to me. Fully. No questions. There are no limits." Now Eden is learning far more than she bargained for-lessons in pleasure, in control, in giving up her body piece by piece to a man who doesn't believe in love. Each touch Hunter demands pushes her deeper into the kind of sin she never imagined, the kind that leaves her shaking, soaked, and begging for more. But the deeper she falls, the more dangerous the game becomes. Because Hunter's not just training her for another man. He's breaking her for himself. And he has no intention of ever letting her go. For fans of Haunting Adeline, Twisted Games, and Credence-this is a dangerously seductive enemies-to-lovers story with a filthy slow burn, a dominant hero, and an ending that will leave you breathless.

I had been a wife for exactly six hours when I woke up to the sound of my husband’s heavy breathing. In the dim moonlight of our bridal suite, I watched Hardin, the man I had adored for years, intertwined with my sister Carissa on the chaise lounge. The betrayal didn't come with an apology. Hardin stood up, unashamed, and sneered at me. "You're awake? Get out, you frumpy mute." Carissa huddled under a throw, her fake tears already welling up as she played the victim. They didn't just want me gone; they wanted me erased to protect their reputations. When I refused to move, my world collapsed. My father didn't offer a shoulder to cry on; he threatened to have me committed to a mental asylum to save his business merger. "You're a disgrace," he bellowed, while the guards stood ready to drag me away. They had spent my life treating me like a stuttering, submissive pawn, and now they were done with me. I felt a blinding pain in my skull, a fracture that should have broken me. But instead of tears, something dormant and lethal flickered to life. The terrified girl who walked down the aisle earlier that day simply ceased to exist. In her place, a clinical system—the Valkyrie Protocol—booted up. My racing heart plummeted to a steady sixty beats per minute. I didn't scream. I stood up, my spine straightening for the first time in twenty years, and looked at Hardin with the detachment of a surgeon looking at a tumor. "Correction," I said, my voice stripped of its stutter. "You're in my light." By dawn, I had drained my father's accounts, vanished into a storm, and found a bleeding Crown Prince in a hidden safehouse. They thought they had broken a mute girl. They didn't realize they had just activated their own destruction.
