I Slapped His Mistress At Their Engagement Party

Having spent three years with Walker Reed without an official status, he suddenly announced he had good news to share at the company. Recalling the flower order I saw on his phone earlier, I thought my patience had finally paid off. That night, I flew to a neighboring country, determined to create the most beautiful Victorian-style dress just for the occasion. But when I rushed back to the company the next day, I stumbled upon the scene I least expected: Walker with his arm around another woman, boldly announcing, “I’m getting married. To put an end to anyone thinking they have a chance with me, I've brought Tessa here to meet you all.” Amidst everyone's congratulations, the girl shyly nestled into his embrace. Across the crowd, I caught his gaze with a smile, then turned away without hesitation. I had just stepped into the revolving doors, holding the hem of my dress, when Walker's authoritative voice hit my ears, halting my smile in its tracks. I looked up at the stage where Walker stood. He wore the suit I had thoughtfully chosen and ironed for him the previous night. The bouquet in his arms matched the order details I had seen.

"Oscar, hold up a second," Tessa's sweet voice rang out.

I hesitated briefly, then sped up my steps to leave.

Just as I was about to step through the revolving door, someone stuck a foot out, tripping me, and I was shoved hard to the side.

I stumbled backward, pain shooting through my ankle, and the heel of my shoe snapped. Before I could catch my breath, my back slammed against the metal bar beside the revolving door.

Pain surged through my body, and cold sweat instantly dotted my forehead.

"Michelle, Tessa asked you to wait. Are you deaf?" Walker stood in front of me with disdain, brushing off his hand where he had pushed me.

I clutched my lower back, tears welling in my eyes as I looked up at him.

He seemed momentarily taken aback, his brows furrowing as he said, "Quit looking at me like that. You brought this on yourself for disrespecting Tessa."

I lowered my gaze and nodded, tears dripping onto the floor.

Walker clenched his fist at his side.

Just as he was about to reach towards me, Tessa arrived.

She naturally and affectionately looped her arm through Walker's, playfully scolding, "Walker, don't be so rough."

Walker immediately relaxed his frown, tapping her small nose indulgently, "Fine, I'll listen to you."

Tessa smiled sweetly. "Michelle, I know you've been working by Walker's side for three years and have done a great job, so I wanted to ask you to be my bridesmaid."

Her smile didn't reach her eyes, which were filled with unmistakable hostility.

Her blunt remark drew murmurs from the employees around us, who glanced at me judgmentally.

I bit my lip in silence, and Tessa pouted at Walker.

Walker wasn't pleased with my silence, warning, "Michelle Stone, Tessa is speaking to you. Don't be ungrateful!"

I forced a bitter smile, swallowing my tangled emotions.

When I spoke again, my voice was steady, "Mrs. Reed, I'm sorry, but I'm currently in mourning and can't be your bridesmaid."

Tessa was taken aback by my words, her gaze fixating on my simple white dress with confusion.

"Michelle, I never pegged you for such a smooth liar," Walker sneered.

He then coldly pointed out, "Both of your parents passed away. You're an orphan; what are you mourning?"

Tessa seemed to catch on, her eyes calculating.

She pouted, clinging to Walker's arm, grumbling, "Walker, it's your fault for being too harsh just now. Michelle must be upset with me."

Walker lowered his gaze, soothing her in a gentle voice, the careful protection once my own cherished wish.

Before he could interrogate me further, I replied first, "Mr. Reed, the thing is, my friend's favorite cat died last night, and I need to mourn for a year."

My words left everyone stunned, their eyes wide in disbelief.

Tessa looked insulted, small tears gathering in her eyes.

Walker stared at me with a dark expression, too distracted to console the tearful Tessa.

I understood his look; he couldn't fathom me placing a cat's significance above him.

Harsh voices grew louder, cruel words echoing around me.

I refused to be a scapegoat for anyone's judgment, and despite the physical pain, I held my head high, saying, "Mr. Reed, I'm resigning today."

After speaking, I removed my broken high heels and walked barefoot towards the revolving door.

"Michelle Stone!" Walker barked through gritted teeth.

I turned to look at him, but he merely pursed his lips in silence.

I smiled and said, "I apologize for not submitting a resignation report in advance. Deduct my salary as you see fit, Mr. Reed."

His Untamed Prey: The Reborn Heiress

I was the top commander of a black-ops military program. After slaughtering my way through a hellish mission, I reached the extraction helicopter, trusting my second-in-command to watch my back. But the moment our hands locked, he didn't pull me up. Instead, he plunged a syringe of lethal neurotoxin directly into my neck. He aimed his gun at my chest, coldly stating that I was too dangerous to live. My lungs stopped, and I died in a pool of my own blood. But the endless blackness suddenly shattered. My consciousness violently forced its way into a new, broken shell. I woke up in a freezing alley, soaked in muddy rain. This body belonged to seventeen-year-old Eliza Wyatt. A massive wave of foreign memories crashed into my brain. Her own younger sister had just stood at the top of the stairs with a mocking smile, watching street thugs beat Eliza to death. "Take good care of the Wyatt family's eldest daughter. Tonight is the night she finally disappears." The endless humiliation, the cold stares of her family, and the brutal betrayal by her own blood flashed before my eyes. Why was this fragile girl treated like garbage and pushed to her death by the very people who should have protected her? I looked down at my pale, trembling hands. The top commander was dead, but in this bleeding shell, Eliza Wyatt was very much alive. I picked up a switchblade from the bloody puddle and stood up in the storm. It was time to hunt.

The fluorescent lights in the boardroom cast harsh shadows across the mahogany table as I clicked to the final slide of my presentation. Fifteen faces stared back at me—board members, department heads, and Bradley seated at the head of the table with that familiar smile that once made my heart skip but now felt like a mask. "And that concludes our proposal for the new cardiac wing," I said, my voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through my veins. "With the combined sponsorship commitments from MedTech Solutions, CardioVascular Innovations, and Apex Medical Systems, we've secured fifteen million dollars in funding—five million more than our initial target." A murmur of approval rippled through the room. Dr. Harrison, the chief of internal medicine, leaned forward with raised eyebrows. "Fifteen million? That's... exceptional work, Dr. Carroll." I allowed myself a small smile, my fingers unconsciously touching the portfolio that contained months of research, late-night calls, and carefully crafted proposals.
