The Divorced Genius Wife's Spectacular Return

The Divorced Genius Wife's Spectacular Return

After three years of marriage, Kasie's husband forced her to sign a divorce agreement leaving her with nothing. He destroyed her academic career just to protect his adopted sister, Calista, from a lab accident she had caused. Forced to return to her hometown, Kasie found her biological family had also been completely brainwashed by Calista. Her brothers dragged her to a clinic to donate bone marrow for Calista's fake illness. When Kasie struggled, they pushed her down the stairs, breaking her arm, while her ex-husband watched and called her pathetic. They tore up her only job offer. When she was attacked by a drunk in an alley, her own brother drove right past her desperate screams just to answer Calista's phone call. The final blow came when Calista stole Kasie's life's work, published the research as her own, and cried on national television. "My own sister... she was jealous. She tried to claim my research as her own." Penniless, publicly ruined, and evicted by her own brothers, Kasie was thrown out into a mob of angry reporters. She didn't understand why her own flesh and blood treated her like a monster, or why Calista's fake tears were worth more than Kasie's actual life. But as she unlocked the door to a secret apartment she had rented years ago—the one safe haven they didn't know about—the tears finally stopped. She had nothing left to lose, which meant it was time to make them pay.

Chapter 4

Kasie leaned against the wall of the upstairs hallway, her arm throbbing where the needle had been. The house was quiet, but the silence felt heavy, like the air before a storm. She just wanted to crawl into the storage closet and close the door. She didn't make it. Jefferson stepped out of his room, blocking her path. He was still in his police uniform, the heavy utility belt creaking as he moved. His face was red, a vein pulsing in his temple. "What did you say to her?" he demanded, stepping closer. "Calista has been crying in her room since we got back." Kasie closed her eyes, too tired to fight. "I didn't say anything, Jefferson." The door to Calista's room cracked open. Her voice drifted out, thick with tears. "Jeff, please. Don't be mad at her. It's my fault. I shouldn't have asked..." That was all it took. Jefferson's face twisted with rage. He grabbed Kasie by the shoulders, his fingers digging into her collarbones. "You cold-hearted bitch! She's sick because of you, and you can't even be decent to her?" "Get off me!" Kasie shoved at his chest, but he was solid muscle. "You're all blind! She's playing you. She's not sick!" The words hung in the air, a detonator in the tense hallway. "Shut your mouth!" Jefferson roared. "Don't you dare talk about her like that!" He let go of one shoulder and shoved her hard in the chest. It was meant to push her away, to assert dominance. But Kasie was weak. Her legs were unsteady, her fever making her dizzy. The force of the push sent her stumbling backward. Her heel caught the top step. Time slowed down. Kasie felt the sickening lurch of gravity taking over. Her arms windmilled, grasping at empty air. She saw Jefferson's eyes widen, a flash of shock cutting through his anger. Then she was falling. Her back hit the edge of the third step. The air rushed out of her lungs. She tumbled, a ragdoll bouncing down the wooden stairs. Her head cracked against the banister. Her arm twisted underneath her, a sharp, blinding pain shooting up to her shoulder. She landed at the bottom in a heap, gasping, the taste of copper filling her mouth. The world was spinning, the edges of her vision turning black. Jefferson stood at the top of the stairs, frozen. Calista peeked out of her door, her eyes wide, but not with fear. With calculation. The front door swung open. Clemence Foreman stepped inside, bringing a gust of cold air with him. He was wearing a charcoal overcoat that cost more than the entire house. In his hand was a shopping bag from a luxury boutique. He stopped, his gaze falling on Kasie crumpled on the floor. She looked up at him, her vision blurry, her body screaming in agony. She waited for the concern, for the basic human instinct to help. Upstairs, Calista spoke, her voice trembling. "Clemence! Oh god, she... she just fell! She just threw herself down the stairs!" Jefferson found his voice. "She slipped. She was yelling and she just slipped." Clemence looked at Kasie. His blue eyes were devoid of any warmth. They weren't the eyes of a man seeing his injured wife; they were the eyes of a man looking at an insect on the sidewalk. He let out a short, humorless laugh. "Your tricks are getting pathetic, Kasie." He stepped over her legs, not bothering to crouch down. "Hurting yourself for attention? Did you think breaking your arm would make me look at you?" He shook his head, a sneer curling his lip. "It's sad, really. You're pathetic." He walked past her, heading up the stairs. He reached the landing and pulled Calista into his arms, stroking her hair. "I'm here. It's okay. I've got you." Kasie lay on the cold linoleum, the sound of Clemence's comforting murmurs drifting down the stairs. The pain in her arm was nothing compared to the hollow ache in her chest. She closed her eyes, a tear slipping down her cheek. She laughed, a broken, silent sound. Nobody was coming. Nobody cared.

The last thing I remembered was the blinding flash of my starship crashing. But instead of a rescue crew, I woke up tied to a wooden post, surrounded by hostile beastmen. My universal translator kicked in just in time to hear their priestess, Chelsea, declare that I was a cursed demon who ruined their hunt. To save the clan from winter starvation, I was to be burned alive. The flames were already blistering my legs, and jagged stones hurled by the crowd gashed my forehead. I barely negotiated a three-day reprieve to find them food, venturing into the deadly primeval forest. I found a massive supply of wild potatoes and even gained the protection of Bronson, a terrifyingly powerful saber-toothed tiger beastman. But Chelsea wouldn't stop. She labeled my food as poisonous, tried to sentence me to starve in a penitent's cave, and when my agricultural knowledge proved her wrong, she invoked an ancient law. She incited the tribe's savage warriors to fight over me, turning me into breeding property. I was a scientist offering them endless food, yet their primitive ignorance and one woman's vicious jealousy kept pushing me toward a brutal end. I was terrified, completely powerless against their monstrous physical strength. As five ruthless challengers drew their bone axes to claim me, I begged Bronson to leave me and run. Instead, he pulled me against his scarred chest and kissed me fiercely in front of the entire clan. "She is my mate," he roared, unleashing a soul-crushing aura. "Anyone who wants her, come at me together."

Forsaken By The Alpha: The Wolfless Mate's Revenge
9.2
For four years, I was the Silvercrest Pack's biggest joke—a scentless, wolfless Omega who somehow became the Alpha's Luna. I thought I was just naturally defective, until our fourth anniversary, when I overheard my husband Adrian talking to his Beta. "I’ve been having the kitchens slip a silver-based compound into her meals since the day I marked her." He confessed the poison was meant to suppress my inner wolf and keep my womb permanently barren. He only married me as a power play to make his highborn mistress, Seraphina, jealous. While I wept over my empty cradle and apologized to his family for my broken body, he was using pack funds to buy her custom luxury goods, tossing me the leftover wrapping paper. When I finally confronted him about the silver and tried to leave, he flew into a feral rage. He violently smashed my head against the marble vanity, leaving me bleeding on the floor, and locked the bedroom door behind him. I lay there in the cold, staring at the pool of my own blood. My entire life, my endless pain, and my unborn pups were nothing but a cruel, calculated joke to the man who was supposed to be my Mate. But Adrian didn't know I wasn't just a brainless Omega. I wiped the blood from my face, climbed down the balcony trellis into the freezing rain, and pulled out an encrypted burner phone. "The cage is broken. Initiate Phase Two."
His Promise, My Shattered World

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
