Returning After He Chose His Mistress

I've been married to my husband, Kaison, for three years. He never spent any anniversaries with me. Instead, he traveled to countless countries with his idealized love, Alexis. On my birthday, he once again abandoned me, saying, "I have a business trip for a week. Be good and wait for me to come back." I silently watched him leave, knowing this trip was just an excuse to spend time with Alexis. He thought I would quietly accept it, relying on my calm demeanor. But this time, he was unaware of my plan. By the time he returned, I'd already be on a plane, leaving the country for a fresh start. Two months ago, I kept asking Kaison for a special surprise for my birthday. He agreed, and I was filled with anticipation.

After repeatedly assuring Amelia that I was fine, she finally let me return to the hotel. Deep down, I knew that this marriage had been a mistake from the start.

Years ago, Kaison and Alexis had a heated argument, and Alexis stormed out of the country in anger. I was there for Kaison, helping him drink his troubles away, and in that foggy state, I confessed my feelings to him again. He responded with a passionate, heartfelt kiss. The next morning, without needing words, we both understood what this meant, and our relationship officially began.

On our wedding day, he held my hand tightly and promised, “Elaine, I'll spend my life protecting you.” I believed him wholeheartedly.

But everything changed on my first birthday after our marriage when Alexis suddenly reappeared in Kaison’s life. My phone chimed with a message from him: "Why did you cancel your birthday dinner? Didn't you like the gift?"

I was a bit surprised, not expecting that even while he was with Alexis, he'd remember his wife in name. Perhaps my delayed reply prompted him to send another message shortly after: "Didn't you always love emeralds?"

I stared at his words for a moment, finding them rather amusing. The first gift Kaison ever gave me was an emerald necklace. He had said, "Emeralds are bold and vibrant, just like you." Although I didn’t like the color green, I developed a special fondness for emeralds because it was from him, which eventually led to my love for jewelry design. However, I later discovered that Alexis had majored in jewelry design in college, and emeralds were her favorite.

Coming back to my senses, I instinctively typed a message on my phone’s keyboard: "You gave the gift to the wrong person; I hate green." Hesitating for a moment, I deleted the message, retyped, and sent a different one: "Enjoy your time with Alexis."

After sending the message, there was no response from him. I laughed at myself, feeling a mix of irony and resignation.

The chandeliers of the Grand Hyatt ballroom cast a golden glow over San Francisco's tech elite. I smoothed down my navy dress—the most expensive one I owned, yet still modest compared to the designer gowns floating around me. Nine years with Jason, and I still felt like an outsider at these events. "There she is," someone whispered as I passed. "The girlfriend." Not fiancée. Never fiancée. Just the girlfriend who'd been there since the UCLA dorm rooms, before FordTech was anything but scribbles on napkins and late-night dreams. I scanned the crowd for Jason, spotting him near the stage in deep conversation with investors. His assistant, Lily Hart, stood beside him, her hand resting lightly on his arm. She turned her unfocused gaze in my general direction, the picture of dignified blindness.

Five years ago, Freya Laurent was the youngest editor-in-chief in LUXE Magazine history—sharp, fearless, untouchable. Then she married Caleb, gave up her throne, and became the perfect Alpha's Luna. Her reward? Watching him kiss his "fated mate" against a wall at their fifth anniversary party, in front of two hundred guests. So Freya does the only thing a humiliated woman can do: she lies. She announces she's found her own fated mate—then has exactly until noon tomorrow to produce one. Desperate, she hires the most gorgeous stranger she can find at an exclusive members' club. Ten thousand dollars. One day. Pretend you can't live without me. There's just one problem. The man she hired isn't an escort.

For years, I secretly bankrolled my father's extravagant lifestyle. I was the silent founder of King Ventures, the source of his immense wealth, but I preferred to live in the shadows. But at the opening of a gallery I owned, his fiancée, Kesha, publicly accused me of being a gold-digger trying to crash the party. She had me brutally beaten by guards and locked in a dark storage room. I called my father for help, but my calls went straight to voicemail. He was at the event, living off my generosity, and he chose to ignore me. He sided with her, later telling her I was a "deranged stalker" and that he had no daughter. He had chosen his new life over his own blood. The man whose entire world I had built, whose reputation I had protected, had just thrown me to the wolves. The love I had for him shattered into a million pieces. Standing bruised and bloodied in the penthouse I paid for, I interrupted his party and made a single call in front of everyone. "Initiate Project Phoenix. Seize all assets. Leave him with nothing."

Husband's Affair Exposed

I smoothed my fingers over the delicate lace of the lingerie, a pale blush color that had cost more than I'd ever spent on myself before. Three years of marriage, and Marcus had never seen me in anything like this. Three years of cold shoulders, separate bedrooms, and his constant reminders that his anxiety disorder made physical intimacy impossible. Yet somehow, I still believed this trip could change everything. "This time will be different," I whispered to my reflection in the bedroom mirror, practicing the warm, inviting smile I'd been rehearsing for days. The woman staring back at me looked hopeful, desperate even, with eyes that had grown accustomed to disappointment but refused to accept it. I carefully folded the lingerie between layers of tissue paper and tucked it into my suitcase, alongside the new sundresses and swimsuits I'd purchased for our trip to the Hamptons. Our belated honeymoon. The one Marcus had promised we'd take when he felt "ready." Three years later, and here we were. "You're beautiful," I practiced again, imagining what I might say if—when—Marcus finally looked at me the way a husband should look at his wife.
