My Ex-husband Begged me to Save Him
Cyburris Hospital collapsed, and Director Greg sacrificed his pregnant wife, Ronda, to save his idolized love. Her right hand was crushed, she lost their baby, and he dragged her name through the mud, forcing her to leave with nothing.
With an injured hand and a stillborn child, Ronda fled the country overnight. Three years later, she returned as an international authority on neural regeneration, ready to seek revenge with both hands-one to slap faces, the other to perform surgery.
Her academic revelations exposed scandals, data breaches shook the foundations, the idolized love's reputation crumbled, and the scoundrel was left paralyzed-a complete crash and burn, all in one go.
In the end, she radiated with brilliance at a grand wedding with her ultimate partner, while her ex passed away in solitude in a hospital room.

Chapter 5
Ronda was confined to the hospital room, cut off from all contact with the outside world.
The meals brought by the caregivers were cold. The nurses changing her bandages were unfamiliar. They were all rough, and each time they ripped off the gauze, it felt like tearing at her skin.
But none of this was the worst pain.
The deepest pain came from the television in her room. It was forcibly locked onto the hospital's internal channel. It repeatedly played the video where Greg attended a press conference.
On screen, Greg was dressed in a sharp suit, looking confident and triumphant.
Beside him stood Rose. Her arm was wrapped in exaggerated bandages, but she was smiling weakly yet resolutely.
"Here, on behalf of the hospital, I announce that the former Neurology Chief, Ronda Lambert, is unable to continue her duties due to physical and psychological reasons. Plus, she is suspected of serious allegations of academic fraud and violations of medical ethics. The administration has decided to terminate her employment. Now, we will appoint the returning elite, Ms. Rose Lloyd, as the acting chief of neurology. She will take over Ronda's team and work on the unfinished project about 'Brain Nerve Regeneration'..."
Ronda stared at the screen intensely. Her nails were digging into her palm.
Academic fraud? Violations of medical ethics?
For ten years, she had dedicated countless sleepless nights pouring her heart and soul into that project. Every set of data was painstakingly gathered over hundreds of hours under the microscope.
The project was her hope to contend for the Nobel Prize and to cure countless paralyzed patients.
It was her life.
Greg, in an effort to please Rose, not only stripped her of her position but also handed over her life's work on a silver platter and even sought to slander her with an irremovable stain.
"Greg... how could you be so utterly merciless..." Ronda trembled all over. She grabbed the water cup from her bedside and hurled it at the television screen.
"Bang!"
Water splashed everywhere, and Greg's deceitful face shattered into fragments. Yet the nauseating sound continued to play.
Just then, the door was pushed open.
Several men in black suits entered, led by Greg's assistant, Richard Norris, who was holding a document in his hand.
"Ms. Lambert, Greg asks you to sign these documents." Richard handed them to her expressionlessly.
Ronda glanced at them. They were a patent transfer agreement and a divorce agreement."
The patent transfer agreement stated that she was willing to transfer all naming and patent rights of the "Brain Nerve Regeneration" project to Rose for free.
And on the divorce agreement, the clause on asset division glared up at her: she was to leave with nothing.
The reasons were that she cheated on him and had an illegitimate child and that she had criminal behavior of intentional harm.
"I want to see Greg." Ronda threw the documents onto the floor and said with a hoarse voice, "Tell him to speak to me himself. I'll sign only over my dead body."
Richard bent down to pick up the documents. He patted off dust and said in a tone carrying a hint of pity but mostly disdain, "He is very busy and has no time to see you. He says if you don't sign them, he wouldn't mind handing the evidence of you cheating on him over to the media. Then, your reputation will be ruined, and you will face massive breach penalties and imprisonment."
"The evidence of my cheating on him? I never do that," Ronda shouted.
"Greg says you did, so you did," Richard said coldly. "Besides, Rose's injury assessment results are out. It is a medically classified severe injury. With just one word from Greg, you could be arrested by the police right now."
Ronda collapsed onto the bed and felt utterly cold.
In this city, Greg held absolute power.
It was as easy as squashing an ant for him to crush her.
"Tell him I'll sign them."

"You are only making things difficult for us." he said. "Just sign the papers and let's get this over with."
As I opened my mouth to speak, I noticed that the wardrobe was slightly opened. Curious, I began to walk towards it.
"Emily, what do you think you're doing?" he asked.
But I ignored him. I lifted a trembling hand, gripped the handle, and opened the wardrobe. My heart sank.
"Abby?"

For five years, I was locked away in the freezing royal dungeon, starved and used as a bloody plaything by the kingdom's sadistic Cabinet Minister, Brandt Fischer.
He tortured me daily for one twisted reason: I simply looked like someone else.
When he visited my cell to casually announce my father's execution and drag a silver dagger across my neck, he expected me to beg.
Instead, I laughed, sank my teeth directly into his carotid artery, and was violently thrown against a jagged stone wall to my death.
As my skull cracked and my blood stained the moss, I thought about my so-called family. The moment Brandt had demanded me, my father, the Duke, handed me over without a single hesitation to save his own political career.
I was nothing but a disposable pawn, left to rot in the dark while the monsters who ruined my life thrived.
I died suffocating on my own blood and absolute, destructive vengeance.
Then, I opened my eyes.
I was lying in my silk-sheeted bed, reborn as my fifteen-year-old self.
Today was the exact day Lord Daryl Langley, the God of War, would be ambushed and crippled—the event that allowed Brandt to seize ultimate power.
I immediately stole a horse, rode to the palace gates, and threw myself directly in front of Daryl's moving carriage.
"I just didn't want to see a hero die like a slaughtered pig."
I didn't care if I had to shatter my own ankle to hijack his convoy. This time, I was going to save the general, and he would become the blade I use to slaughter them all.

The biopsy report slid across the cold metal desk, stamped with a brutal death sentence: advanced gastric cancer. Aretha had exactly ninety days left to live.
It was her twenty-sixth birthday, but her phone only rang with a furious call from her husband, Anders.
"Do you have any idea how much of a joke you made this family look like today? Post a public apology to Kelli right now."
He had completely forgotten her birthday, only caring that she skipped her adopted sister's yacht party.
When Aretha dragged her failing body back to the family estate, her biological mother slapped her across the face just for looking pale and embarrassing them in front of guests.
Seeing Aretha wasn't submitting to the usual abuse, Kelli deliberately threw herself down the stairs, playing the innocent, depressed victim.
Anders rushed in and shoved Aretha brutally against the wall to protect Kelli, while her biological father delivered his ultimate threat.
"I am freezing your trust fund. Get on your knees and apologize to Kelli right now, or you won't see another dime."
A massive, suffocating sense of absurdity washed over Aretha. She had spent six years lowering her head and begging for their approval, only to be treated like a disposable placeholder. Why should she spend her final days enduring this agonizing torture for people who didn't even care if she breathed?
Aretha wiped the blood from her chin and laughed. She publicly severed all ties with her family, whipped the signed divorce papers directly at Anders's face, and walked out into the freezing storm—ready to fight for her own life.

I was Nyx, a top-tier covert operative. But when I opened my eyes, I was trapped in the unfamiliar, overweight body of a bullied girl named Eliza.
Before I could even process the body swap, the bedroom door splintered open. I was in bed with Julian Malone, a wealthy military heir, both of us heavily drugged. Cameras flashed wildly. It was a vicious setup to ruin his career, and I was the bait.
To save his family's reputation, Julian was forced to marry me. But the moment the wedding was over, he abandoned me. His elite family treated me like a disease. His mother froze my only bank account, trying to starve me into submission.
I even intercepted a private conversation between his parents.
"Once she's in a private facility, she loses all legal standing. We can sign anything we want on her behalf."
They planned to lock me up in a mental asylum and erase my existence entirely to get rid of the "trailer park trash."
To them, I was just a weak, pathetic pawn they could crush without a second thought. They thought they had backed a helpless girl into a corner.
They had no idea they had just declared war on a lethal weapon.
I didn't cry or beg. Instead, I bypassed their state-of-the-art security, cracked their safe, and stole the financial secrets that could destroy their entire empire.
"I want five hundred thousand dollars, or these files go to the IRS."
This time, I was playing by my own rules.
