His Bet, Her Unforgivable Revenge
My ex-husband returned after a three-year bet, ready to reclaim me and the son he thought was his. He had no idea that I'd secretly aborted his child, divorced him, and remarried the day he left. His world was about to come crashing down.
His delusion turned deadly when he and his manipulative best friend, Haylee, kidnapped my son, Leo.
I found them at his family's mansion, with Leo suffocating from a severe allergic reaction to a dog they were forcing him to play with. Elliot physically restrained me, scolding me for overreacting while Haylee giggled as my son turned blue.
At the hospital, as Leo fought for his life, Elliot grabbed my arm, demanding to know who the man standing beside me was. He was convinced this was all a game to make him jealous.
That's when my real husband, billionaire Gregory Morton, stepped forward.
"Since when is this child yours, Elliot?"

Clare POV:
A whimpering sob came through the phone. Haylee's voice, thick with feigned tears. "Elliot, darling? My head hurts so much. I feel so dizzy."
His eyes blazed with concern. He barely registered my presence. "Haylee? Where are you? I'm coming. Don't move."
He hung up and gave me a quick pat on the head—dismissive, like a pet. "Stay here, Clare. Be a good girl. Haylee needs me." Then he sprinted down the driveway and sped off.
Moments later, a notification buzzed. Haylee had posted a photo: her looking pale and vulnerable, nestled in Elliot's arms on a velvet sofa. His hand massaged her temple. The caption read: "My darling Elliot, always there for me. The best man in the world."
I clicked 'like'.
I had liked countless posts like this over three years. Photos of them on yachts, him carrying her shopping bags, her lounging in my former marital home, replacing my belongings. She made sure I saw every one.
She thought my likes were desperate pleas for attention. But each click was my silent message: I don't care. You won nothing. You're still pathetic.

But the moment his first love, Kristal, returned with a feigned injury, he handed her the diamond necklace meant for our anniversary and abandoned me in a torrential storm.
He knew my PTSD from a past kidnapping made storms terrifying, yet he drove away with her without a backward glance.

"Brandon is in the shower," she taunted. "Don't disturb our reunion."
I barely escaped an assault that night, only to return home and discover the ultimate betrayal: Brandon never filed our marriage license in the US.
