My Fiancé Stole My Promotion

My fiancé used his influence to snatch my government enterprise position, handing it to the local beauty instead. When I confronted him, he was utterly unmoved. “A woman like you should not be roaming around. Your place is at home, doing laundry and cooking,” he declared. In response, I quit the factory on the spot, announcing my plan to head south for work. My fiancé, who had been accusing me of being petty, was left speechless. “You've never even left town before. You think you can suddenly make a living down south? Don't act recklessly,” he scoffed. The village beauty, who had always benefited from my hard work, was equally taken aback.

After leaving the textile factory, I headed straight home and began packing my bags. I hadn’t lied to Saylor; I really was planning to head south. But it wasn't to start a business; I was set to join the nation's Ignition Project. Besides Eden, no one else knew about it.

Truthfully, my ambition was never limited to working in textiles; I aspired to become a top aerospace intelligence officer. Yet, Eden never took me seriously. He always belittled me. When I shared my dream with him, he regarded me like I was speaking nonsense. I distinctly remember his snide remark:

"Aleena, are you dreaming with your eyes open? A country girl like you probably can't even read properly! And you want to be an aerospace intelligence officer? Don't make me laugh!"

His words cut deep. From that point on, I kept my dream to myself. But I never abandoned it. Whenever I could, I would dive into books. Over the years, most of my earnings went to the library.

Two years ago, I began submitting my designs to the relevant authorities. Sadly, I never got any replies until last month. A letter arrived unexpectedly, containing details about the Ignition Project along with an invitation. Seeing it was exhilarating.

But joining the project meant being cut off from the outside world for anywhere between three to ten years or even more. At the time, I hadn’t let go of Eden entirely and still entertained thoughts of marrying him, which made me hesitate.

Now, though, I was ready to pursue my dream freely. Just as I finished packing, my front door swung open. It was Eden and Celia. Seeing my luggage, Eden quickly approached and questioned me:

"Saylor told me you quit your job! Aleena, you’re being utterly reckless!"

Celia stepped forward, feigning surprise at the sight of my suitcase:

"Leena, you're not seriously considering heading south all by yourself, are you? You should think it over; there's still time to change your mind."

"You should really beg Eddie here. If he softens up, perhaps he could say a few nice things to Saylor to revoke your resignation."

Before I could answer, Eden scoffed:

"I won't beg for her. If she had even half your sense, she wouldn’t be in this situation. It’s good she resigned; she can stay home, doing laundry and cooking, instead of embarrassing herself out there."

"Celia, if you need Aleena’s help in the future, just give her a shout. She’s jobless now, so she's got all the time in the world."

At this point, Celia’s eyes gleamed with delight, and she said teasingly to Eden:

"Eddie, you're just too sweet!"

I looked at the pair in front of me and felt sick with disgust.

"Has it occurred to either of you to ask what I think?"

"Eden, how can you be so arrogant? You think I'd help your darling for free? Dream on; you’d better go back to bed and snuggle your pillow."

Eden's face flushed with anger.

"Aleena, you’re being irrational!"

"If that’s what you think, then get out. Don’t make me spill the dirty secrets between you two."

With that, I showed them the door and booted them out without another word.

Two years ago, my fiancé, Connor, tossed the only life jacket to his mistress, Ilene, and watched me drown. I was pregnant with his child. He found me living a quiet life as a fisherman's wife on a remote island, dragged me back to his world, and revealed a shocking truth: our son, the one I thought I'd lost, was alive. He had been raised by them all along. Connor divorced Ilene and tried to force me into marriage, using our son as a pawn. But the boy he'd raised was a stranger, twisted by his father's cruelty, calling me a "bad woman." That's when I knew I had to destroy them. I returned to the island, not as a victim, but as Ayla Garcia, the island chief's long-lost daughter. "Connor Foster," my father roared, his voice echoing through the hall, "you dared to touch my daughter? Get out of my sight, now!" He thought he could ruin my life, but he never realized he was trespassing in my kingdom.

The control panel flashed red as warning lights erupted across the dashboard. My heart skipped a beat, but my hands remained steady on the yoke. "Flight 447, this is Tower. Do you copy?" The radio crackled with static. "We're experiencing mechanical failure," I responded, my voice calm despite the chaos unfolding around me. "Primary systems are going down one by one." The aircraft shuddered violently, metal groaning under pressure. Through the windshield, the city lights blurred as we began an uncontrolled descent. "Lillie, what's happening?" My first officer's voice trembled slightly. "Stay focused," I ordered, already running through emergency protocols in my mind. "We need to manually override the autopilot." The passenger cabin erupted in gasps and cries.

Elie Joyce’s entire life was controlled by Ebert Ewing, a ruthless billionaire who held her sick grandmother's survival and her family's freedom in his hands. But on a freezing, stormy night, he forced her into a scandalous scrap of red silk and handed her over to a notorious, disgusting predator. "You aren't an escort. You're just a free gift." Ebert mocked her, using her as a disposable bargaining chip to secure a corporate funding round. When the predator humiliated her, forced high-proof vodka down her throat, and violently pinned her to the floor, Ebert simply watched with dead eyes. And when Ebert finally intervened to brutally beat the man, it wasn't out of mercy. "She is my property. Even if she is trash that I threw away, a filthy pig like you doesn't get to touch her." Afterward, he dragged her battered, barefoot body into his car, only to kick her out into the torrential rain, leaving her on the dark streets to die. Standing in the storm, shivering and bleeding from broken glass, the last shred of Elie's hope shattered. She had sacrificed her dignity and soul, enduring his violent bites and cruel control, just to keep her family alive. Why did she have to suffer this endless, twisted humiliation for a psychopath who only saw her as trash? But she didn't break. Tearing a strip of his expensive shirt to bandage her bleeding foot, Elie gripped her broken stiletto like a knife. With her eyes turning cold and calculating, she limped out of the shadows. She was going to survive, and Ebert Ewing would soon realize she was no longer his obedient prey.

On the day I finally pried open the locked drawer in Marcus’s study, I didn't find a surprise anniversary gift. I found a shrine to my father's business partner, Izzy. Photos of a woman who looked exactly like me stared back. That was when I realized my marriage was nothing more than an expensive lie. I wasn't his wife; I was a customized substitute for the woman he couldn't have. The nightmare worsened when scalding soup was spilled at a restaurant. Marcus didn't hesitate. He threw his body over Izzy to shield her, leaving me to take the full force of the burns. Later, while I lay in the hospital bandaged and in agony, he didn't come to comfort me. He came to demand I donate a kidney to save Izzy. "If we both needed a kidney, who would you choose?" I asked him, desperate for a lie. "Izzy," he said instantly. "She has so much more to do." He didn't know I was pregnant. He didn't know that while he was begging me to save his mistress, the stress was killing his unborn child. I wiped my tears and laughed. "Okay," I said. I signed the divorce papers and left them on his desk. On top of them, I placed a medical report dated that morning: *Spontaneous Abortion.* Then, I boarded a one-way flight to Montana and vanished, leaving him to wake up to a world where he had saved his mistress but killed his family.
