Diana's Point of View

Divorce

I couldn't believe what had just happened. After our fight last night, everything felt like a nightmare I couldn't wake up from.

I had made enquiries at his office, piecing together fragments of his day, until I found my way to the award ceremony. And there she was-the woman he had claimed I had nothing to worry about, the one he had been hiding from me all along. My blood ran cold.

How could he do this after everything I had done for him?

My heart shattered into a million pieces, each shard stabbing me from the inside. I had poured myself into him, sacrificed so much, trusted him completely... and yet here I was, seeing the truth laid bare, cruel and merciless.

I had to leave the hall. I needed air, privacy, solitude. I found my way to the restroom and let myself break, letting the tears come, letting the sobs rack my body. My hands trembled as they gripped the cold porcelain sink.

What did he take me for? A fool? A puppet to toy with at his convenience?

Why did he promise me the world if he couldn't give me even a fraction of it?

What did I do to deserve this betrayal, this humiliation?

I couldn't stop myself. I left the hall and somehow found my way back home, my mind spinning, my chest tight with anger and despair.

I hadn't even sat down when the familiar roar of his car broke the silence. I felt a flicker of relief. Maybe he would explain. Maybe he would tell me that none of what I had seen mattered. Maybe he would deny it all, and I could breathe again.

But the moment he walked through the door, my vision became blurred. She was with him holding on to him tightly like a child. And in his other hand, another paper.

He dropped it on the table.

Confusion swirled inside me, anger following close behind but I couldn't stop myself as my heart still care.

I stepped closer, my voice tentative. "Have you eaten?"

He ignored me. His eyes didn't meet mine.

"Open it," he said, pointing to the paper.

I obeyed, trembling. My hands shook as I lifted it, my heart hammering against my ribs.

And then I saw it.

"No... no," I whispered, tears brimming and spilling down my cheeks. "You can't divorce me... please."

"I already did," he said simply. "You can see that I've signed it. Now I need you to sign it with immediate effect."

My knees threatened to buckle.

"This lady here is going to be my wife," he added, his tone flat, void of any hesitation.

"Wife?! Are you... already married behind my back?" My voice cracked.

"Oh... no," the woman interjected softly. "Once you're out of the picture, I'll step in," she said, lifting her hand to reveal a gold ring gleaming against her finger.

I took a deep, shuddering breath. It felt unreal, like I had been plunged into a nightmare that refused to end. My body trembled, every inch of me screaming in frustration and disbelief.

The man I had trusted with everything-my heart, my dreams, my life-had stabbed me without a second thought.

"No... David, we can settle our misunderstanding, babe," I pleaded, my voice desperate.

He didn't even look at me. His expression was distant, unyielding.

"There is nothing to settle. I am tired of this loveless marriage," he said firmly.

"Sign it and let me go," he continued, cold and detached. "You can keep this mansion, and one of the BMWs is yours."

I rolled my eyes. Did he think he was doing me a favor by tossing material possessions at me?

"No," I said, my voice shaking with barely contained fury. "I don't want it. What I want is my company back-the fashion empire you gave to this woman."

He flinched, though he didn't show it.

"I can't believe you lied to me all these years," I said, tears blinding me. "You deceived me, you made me believe you loved me."

"That's why you wouldn't allow me to bear your child. You forced me through series of abortions for your convenience," I continued, every word a dagger.

Tears streaked my face as I thought of all the sacrifices I had made for him.

"I endured three abortions because you weren't ready for a child. And now, when you no longer want me, you think a piece of paper can erase me?"

"You are wrong, David. I am not going anywhere until you give me back everything you took from me-everything I sacrificed for you."

"My company. My children that never lived. My loyalty. My dignity. All of it."

I watched him carefully. His gaze was sharp, calculating, but I didn't flinch. I wasn't afraid anymore.

"And if I refuse? What will you do? You have no one to fight for you. I am practically your only family," he said, trying to intimidate me.

I shook my head slowly, realizing that his plan was relentless.

"You don't want the whole world to know the truth about you," I said softly, seeing him falter ever so slightly.

He believed I was helpless, that I was naive. But I had him right where I wanted him, even if he didn't realize it yet. I would make him feel betrayal the way he had made me.

"This war isn't over," I said, fury burning like wildfire. "And I am the one who calls the shots here, not you, David."

I was the adopted daughter of the wealthy Ruiz family, but the moment their true heir appeared, I was thrown away like trash. Not long after being kicked out, my adoptive father and uncle hired a hitman to stage a fatal car crash on Mulholland Drive. Pinned under an overturned Porsche with a shattered leg, I watched the hitman point a suppressed pistol between my eyes. "The Ruiz family sends their regards." Before this, my reputation had already been completely destroyed by a director, a pop idol, and a reality TV star, leaving me blacklisted and universally hated. My adoptive family didn't just want me ruined; they wanted me permanently silenced to tie up loose ends. The hitman pulled the trigger, and the original Alicia died in despair, tasting only rain and blood. Until her last breath, she didn't understand.

Moving faster than the human eye, I crushed the hitman's steel gun with my bare hand and turned his soul into dust.

From Discarded Mate To Enemy's Gamma

For seven years, I was Alpha Zane’s Chosen Mate, suppressing my warrior instincts to be the docile, supportive partner he demanded. On our seventh anniversary, while I waited by a candlelit table, I accidentally overheard his mind-link with another woman. "Seven years is a habit, my dear, not love. She's docile, she'll understand." He told Seraphina, his new political ally, laughing as he dismissed my entire existence. I didn't scream or cry. I scraped the anniversary cake into the trash, drafted a formal rejection letter, and walked out of the packhouse. But Zane didn't even notice my departure. He was so consumed by his new lover that my rejection letter was treated as garbage and tossed into the incinerator. He paraded Seraphina around the pack, even handing my hard-earned strategic command over to her—a woman who knew absolutely nothing about war. When my loyal subordinates protested, he violently suppressed them, declaring my absence a "childish tantrum" and framing me as the bitter obstacle to his destined romance. He honestly thought I was just hiding in my room, waiting to beg for his charity and accept a humiliating demotion. He had no idea that I had already crossed the border into enemy territory. Tonight, I am attending his grand celebration. Not as the heartbroken mate he discarded, but as the newly appointed Gamma of his deadliest rival, the Sterling Pack.

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.
