The Ex-Wife's Revenge: Billionaire Regrets Everything
For three years, Aubree played the obedient wife to billionaire Eli Wolfe, even secretly donating her kidney to save his life.
But at a family gala, Eli's pregnant mistress deliberately threw herself backward into the pool and framed Aubree for the fall.
Without asking a single question, Eli lunged forward and shoved Aubree into the freezing water.
He swam right past her sinking body to save the mistress, leaving Aubree to drown.
Nobody cared that her missing kidney made her core muscles spasm violently in the extreme cold.
While she was still burning with a deadly fever, Eli's family dragged her out of bed and forced her to kneel at the mistress's feet.
They slapped a criminal confession across her face and threatened to ruin her brother's career if she didn't sign it.
"I will do whatever it takes to protect Dayna," Eli told her coldly.
Staring at the man she had literally given a piece of her body to, the last beating piece of Aubree's heart completely died.
Her ultimate sacrifice meant absolutely nothing.
She calmly signed the papers, took the fifty-million-dollar settlement, and walked out the door on the arm of a handsome stranger.
This time, she was going to restart her life and make Eli pay for every single thing he took from her.

The bodyguard shoved the double doors open. He pushed Aubree hard from behind.
She stumbled into the massive, brightly lit VIP suite. Her knees gave out. She crashed onto the cold ceramic floor tiles.
Dayna sat in the hospital bed. She wore a designer silk gown. Her face was pale, but her eyes gleamed with victory.
Eli sat in a chair next to the bed. He held a plastic cup with a straw, gently holding it to Dayna's lips.
He heard the thud and turned his head. He saw Aubree sprawled on the floor. His eyes instantly turned to ice.
Eleonora and Camilla walked into the room. They stood behind Eli, crossing their arms.
Aubree gritted her teeth. Her knees screamed in pain. Her head spun from the fever. She pressed her palms against the floor and tried to push herself up.
Eleonora stepped forward and kicked Aubree hard in the back of the knee.
Aubree let out a muffled groan. Both of her knees slammed back onto the hard floor. She was forced into a kneeling position.
Eli watched his mother kick her. He didn't blink. He didn't tell his mother to stop. He set the plastic cup down on the tray table.
He stood up and walked over to Aubree. He looked down at her like she was a disease.
"Apologize to Dayna," Eli's voice was a low, dangerous rumble. "Apologize to the child you tried to kill."
Aubree lifted her head. Her wet hair stuck to her pale, bruised cheeks. Her eyes burned with defiance.
"I didn't push her," Aubree forced the words through her swollen throat. "She threw herself backward."
Dayna covered her face with her hands. She let out a loud, dramatic sob. "It's okay, Eli," Dayna cried. "Don't yell at her. Maybe I just slipped."
Dayna's tears acted like gasoline on Eli's rage. He bent down, grabbed the collar of Aubree's silk pajamas, and hauled her up to her feet.
He pulled her face inches from his. "You planned it perfectly," he roared. "Right in the camera blind spot."
Aubree stared into his eyes. This was the man she gave her kidney to. He looked like a complete stranger.
She didn't fight his grip. Instead, the corners of her bloody lips twitched. She let out a broken, mocking smile. "Are you blind, Eli?"
The mockery in her eyes snapped his control. He raised his right hand, pulling it back to strike her.
Aubree didn't flinch. She didn't close her eyes. She leaned her face forward, waiting for the hit that would end everything.
Eli's hand stopped in mid-air. He stared at her flushed, sickly face and the dark finger marks on her neck-marks his own hand had made just hours before. A sudden, violent wave of self-disgust, sharp and unexpected, hit his stomach. He was horrified by the physical evidence of his own monstrous loss of control. He shoved her backward, not out of revulsion for her, but for the unfamiliar, terrifying lack of discipline he felt in himself.
He pulled a white linen handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his right hand, as if touching her had infected him.
"Your lies mean nothing," Eli said coldly. "My lawyers will make sure you rot in Rikers Island."
Camilla held her phone up, recording the entire exchange.
Aubree slumped against the wall. Her body shook with fever, but she forced her spine straight.
She looked past Eli, straight at Dayna. "Karma will come for you," Aubree said. Her voice was dead and flat.
Dayna gasped and pulled the blanket up to her chin. Eli immediately stepped in front of the bed, shielding Dayna with his body.
He turned his back to Aubree. "Sign the confession and the agreement," he ordered. "And get out of New York."

For five years, I was the secret weapon behind A-list actor Johan Lee. As his top agent and devoted girlfriend, I cleaned up his scandals, secured his contracts, and deliberately dressed down so I would never outshine him. Tonight was his birthday, and I was waiting in his penthouse in black lace, ready to surprise him.
The only surprise was the one I got when he walked in with a 22-year-old actress. From inside his walk-in closet, my romantic evening turned into a nightmare as I listened to them fall into his bed.
But the cheating wasn't the worst part. It was hearing his cruel, dismissive laugh as he explained why he kept me around.
"She's safe," he told the other woman. "She dresses like a depressed librarian. I don't need a queen trying to steal my spotlight. I need an assistant."
An assistant. Five years of my life, my love, and my career-building genius, all reduced to a convenience. The grief in my chest instantly hardened into ice. The mousy girlfriend he took for granted was gone forever.
I walked out of that closet, ended his career with a single video, and thought I was finally free. But then my aunt called, screaming. My family's company was mysteriously facing bankruptcy, and their only way out was to enforce an old family contract. I was to be sold in marriage to the ruthless billionaire who engineered their downfall: the infamous Colvin Sykes.

Erin woke up in her luxurious Fifth Avenue penthouse, three days after returning from the cold, sterile psychiatric hospital where her husband had locked her away.
On the night of their third anniversary, Crockett Winters came home smelling of his mistress's perfume, expecting his docile wife to serve him.

Furious at her sudden defiance, Crockett tried to physically intimidate her, pinning her against a wall to reassert his dominance.
When his aggression failed, he threw a brutal divorce agreement on the table.
"Sign it, and you walk away with nothing. You can't survive without me, and you know it."

Instead, she locked him out of the master suite and pulled out his unlimited Centurion card.
