Linda lunged at me, ready to hit.

Just then, Jake walked in.

Linda wailed, "Thank God you're back. Johanna won't admit what she did and claims you're framing her."

Jake glanced at me, annoyed. "Enough drama!"

I rushed up to him. "I signed the divorce papers. Why are you doing this to me?"

He snorted, "Compared to what Sarah's been through, you're lucky. Stop acting entitled."

My heart sank. I always knew that he only cared about Sarah and that my pain meant nothing to him. Still, my chest ached like it was stabbed.

Done with this mess, I grabbed my stuff and went to the study for my heirloom.

It was a bracelet, passed from my grandma to my mom, then to me. It was my most precious possession.

As I picked up the box to leave, Jake grabbed my arm.

"You don't get to take anything from this house," he scowled.

...

He thought for a moment and added, "Unless you help Sarah. She can't move easily."

I was stunned, but he kept going. "You love kids, right? You're all torn up about losing yours. Here's your chance. Sarah's kids are barely a year old. They need someone. Plus, you got all those baby clothes and toys ready, didn't you? Go to the nursery, pack them up, and send them to Sarah."

"No way. Those were for my baby," I protested.

He snatched the bracelet box. "Want this back? Do what I say, or I'll smash it."

I was furious but helpless. For the bracelet, I gave in.

The maids quickly packed up the nursing goods. Linda grabbed my arm, dragging me out.

"Quit stalling," she urged. "Go take care of Sarah and her kids. Mess up, and you're done."

Her grip hurt, and my belly throbbed from the surgery. I protested, "I just had an operation. I'm weak. Can I rest first?"

Unbothered, Jake yanked me outside. "Stop faking. You're not that fragile. Go now. They are waiting."

Then I ended up in Sarah's apartment.

She was propped up in bed, surrounded by expensive supplements. Her kids were in cribs nearby.

Seeing me, she tried to sit up. "I heard you just had surgery. Jake shouldn't have made you come."

He eased her back down. "She's fine. It's just a minor procedure."

He shot me a look and said, "Take good care of them. There are rewards."

"I don't want rewards," I said. "I just want my bracelet back."

Sarah tugged at his sleeve. "It's fine. If she doesn't want to help, don't force her."

Jake patted her hand, glaring at me. "Look at how considerate Sarah is. Then look at you, whining over a stupid bracelet like it's treasure."

Fiancé's Betrayal: My Fatal Wedding Gift

8.5

I was given three months to live. My fiancé, however, decided that was far too long. I overheard him with my stepsister, Krista, calling our three-year relationship a "charade" he was tired of. The bone marrow I donated to him after a car crash-the very act that triggered my fatal illness-wasn't a sacrifice. It was a transaction. He had manipulated my guilt to use me as a placeholder while he waited for his true love, Krista. He abandoned me bleeding at our engagement party to tend to her fake injury, then gave her power of attorney over my critically ill brother, forcing me to agree to her cruel demands. My love was a lie. My sacrifice was a punchline. The man I thought was my savior had orchestrated my death sentence and then buried me with his betrayal. So on my wedding day, as he waited at the altar for Krista, I faked my own death. I left him with one final wedding gift: my terminal diagnosis and the truth of his deception.

Marrying His Rival: The Jilted Wife's Sweet Revenge

"Her blood type is a match. It’s the only option." I froze outside the conference room door, the quarterly reports digging into my ribs. I knew that voice. It was Ben, my husband’s best friend and doctor. But the next voice, cold and devoid of warmth, shattered my world. "Then we do it," my husband Ethan said. "Chloe cannot wait any longer. If Ava is the match, then Ava is the solution." For the past month, Ethan had been obsessed with my health, insisting on daily "vitamins" and endless checkups. He called it love. Standing in that hallway, I realized he was actually shopping for spare parts. "She is your wife, Ethan," Ben argued weakly. "You can't just harvest her like a crop." "She became my wife because she was useful," Ethan replied, his indifference cutting deeper than any scalpel. "Now, she can be useful for this." The realization hit me with the force of a physical blow. The nausea I’d been feeling wasn't stress. I was pregnant. And those "vitamins" he fed me every morning? They weren't supplements. They were poisons designed to ensure I remained a viable donor. He was killing his own child to save his mistress. To him, I wasn't a partner. I was livestock. An asset to be liquidated for parts. I didn't burst into the room. I didn't scream. I walked away in silence, my hand hovering over my stomach. He wanted my kidney? He wanted to carve me up? I decided right then. I wouldn't just leave. I would terminate the pregnancy, fake my death, and burn his entire world to the ground.
