Chapter: Chapter 7: Happily Divorced Ever AfterChapter 7Sarah's POV I laughed again, shaking my head as I watched him struggle to process what I'd just told him."Wait..." I paused, pressing my lips together as another soft laugh escaped me. "Don't tell me you didn't know all these years. You mean to tell me you've been living all this time without knowing who was responsible for our father's death?"I tilted my head, studying his expression."Of course, I was the one who ended our father's life."My smile faded slightly, although there was no trace of regret on my face."I mean... I get it. It's probably difficult to believe that someone like me could go that far."I glanced down at myself briefly before looking back at him."I was the quiet, soft, clumsy sister. Remember? The one who was always trying to please everyone? The one who couldn't even stand up for herself whenever someone treated her badly?"I gave a little shrug."Well, appearances can be deceiving, Lucas."He continued staring at me, his expression growing darker

Chapter: Chapter 6: Happily Divorced Ever AfterSarah's POV “Fernando, go! Go now! Please help her.” My voice broke out loud as I pointed at Miranda’s broken body on the floor. Miranda was barely moving, her eyes half open, her breathing uneven, blood running from her nose, her lips, even down the side of her face. “Please… she’s not breathing right… just help her up!” I cried.Fernando didn’t waste another second before rushing towards Miranda. “Hold on, Miranda… I’ve got you,” he muttered, already kneeling beside her. Without hesitation, he carefully slid his arms under her, lifting her gently into his arms, but she still cried out weakly in pain. The sound was barely audible, it's as if her lungs were failing at the same time.“It’s okay… it’s okay… you’re safe,” Fernando whispered softly, though his voice shook.I stepped aside quickly to create a path for my husband while he rushed Miranda out.If we don't get her to the hospital right away, she might not make it.My chest was rising and falling fast as I watched Fernando ru

Chapter: Chapter 5: Happily Divorced Ever AfterAuthor's POV Once they were home and Lucas and Miranda had gone upstairs, leaving the house unusually quiet. Sarah was still thinking about Miranda and everything she had witnessed that evening when the knock interrupted her thoughts.She walked to the door and pulled it open.Fernando stood outside.He looked calm, but there was concern in his eyes. The moment he saw Sarah, he searched her face as though trying to figure out whether she was still angry with him.Sarah blinked in surprise. "Fernando? What are you doing here?""I came to check on you," he replied quietly. "I thought you were upset with me, and when you didn't come home, I started worrying."Sarah stared at him."You actually thought I was serious?"Fernando frowned. "What do you mean? You were acting strangely earlier, and then you left. How was I supposed to know what was going on in your head?"Sarah glanced towards the staircase, making sure nobody was coming down. Then she caught Fernando by the hand and pulled hi

Chapter: Chapter 4: Happily Divorced Ever AfterMiranda's POV Once I was done fixing my makeup, I walked back to the dining room and slid into my seat, acting like everything was fine, like I was just another person enjoying the party.But it wasn’t that easy. I tried to sit straight, but my body didn’t feel steady. The makeup I had just put on barely covered the swelling on my lips and cheeks. My hands were still shaking under the table, twisting the edge of my napkin over and over as I tried to keep myself together.And sitting across from me was Sarah. She kept her eyes glued to Lucas, scanning every move he made, jaw tight, fists clenched under the table.My gaze kept flickering towards Sarah as I tried to signal her to stop staring at Lucas that way or he might notice something.Sarah didn’t care. She kept staring at Lucas, her eyes fixed on him, full of anger she couldn’t hide. I noticed immediately and tried to signal her to stop, my fingers twitching slightly on the table, eyes pleading. But Sarah didn’t look away. She jus

Chapter: Chapter 3: Happily Divorced Ever AfterChapter 3Miranda's POV I leaned back and tried to shield myself, but he grabbed my wrists, shaking me violently until I started to see stars. “Three years and you still can’t behave.” He continued to curse at me as he kept sending blows towards my face and stomach.I became so weak I slid to the floor, sobbing, my body curling inward as if I could disappear.Lucas finally stepped back, breathing evenly, straightening his jacket like nothing had happened. And I just lay there on the floor, trembling, tasting blood. He crouched in front of me, gripping my chin painfully and forcing me to look at him. “Fix your face,” he said quietly. “Touch up your makeup. And when you walk out there, you will smile. If anyone asks, you slipped. Do you understand?” I nodded frantically, tears running down my temples. “Say it,” he demanded. “I understand,” I whispered. Then he released me with a shove, and my cheek slammed into the tiled floor.He then stood up slowly and walked towards the door. “Go

Chapter: Chapter 2: Happily Divorced Ever AfterChapter 2Miranda's POV A cousin even rushed and began dabbing the tablecloth so the spilled drink wouldn't spread too far.Lucas's entire family were kind to me, warm, normal—everything Lucas was not. But I couldn’t calm down. My breathing turned shallow, almost panicked, and my eyes kept darting toward Lucas even though I was too afraid to look directly at him.And then I saw the look on his face. That calm, quiet look he always had… the one that meant he was furious but pretending not to be.My fingers trembled so hard the napkins I tried to hold slipped from my grip. “I—I’m sorry,” I kept whispering with tears in my eyes. “I didn’t mean to—” I stammered with a cracking voice. But the apology only felt useless. Because I wasn’t apologizing to his family. I was apologizing to him.“Come on, Miranda, let’s get you cleaned up,” Sarah said gently, appearing beside me like a shield. Even though they were all nice to me, they somehow looked embarrassed about the whole situation. But th

I Faked My Death & Married His Ruthless Stepdad for Revenge
My sister-in-law sent me a photo of her kissing my husband on the beach.
Just a few minutes later, she deleted the photo and sent me a text saying, “Oops, sent to the wrong person. Lol.”
I knew it was deliberate. It was never a mistake. She wanted me to see how happy my husband was with her.
Clara was never my sister-in-law. Three years ago, my husband had lied about her, claiming she was his younger sister, and I believed him. But after five years of marriage, I discovered—far too late—that Clara was never his sister. She was his mistress, his childhood lover, the woman he had been sleeping with under the same roof as me while making me serve her as if she were truly my sister-in-law.
And now what? He had lied again… said he was going on a business trip. Yet Clara had just sent me a picture—a cute, sickening picture—of my husband happily kissing the very woman he had once claimed was his younger sister.
The photo carried a timestamp showing the exact time and location. It was real. There was no denying it.
They were in Hawaii, on a beach, laughing, kissing, and having the time of their lives… while he had made me believe he was away on business.
Without saying a word, I saved the picture and posted it straight to Instagram, captioning it:
"Congratulations to my sister-in-law… on finally becoming the official wife.”
Then I turned off my phone and went to bed.
The next morning, after having breakfast with my cat, Lulu, and taking the warmest bath ever, I turned my phone back on—and froze. Over 200 missed calls were waiting for me.
Notifications exploded across my phone. And it didn’t stop there—the number of unattended messages kept climbing past 250.

Chapter: Chapter 165Enzo's POVI was twelve years old the first time my mother taught me that love and patience were the same thing wearing different names, sitting close beside me in the dark like she was sharing a secret meant only for me.She used to sit with me on the back stairs of our old house, long after Vincent had gone to bed, and tell me stories about the family that came before us — the shipping empire she'd married into, the fortune my father had built on the backs of men who never once questioned where their orders came from, or why."Your brother gets everything first," she told me once, brushing my hair back from my forehead with a gentleness she never showed anyone else, not even my father. "The name. The company. The love, even, though he's never once had to earn it the way you will. That isn't fair, Enzo. But fair isn't how this family survives. Patience is. Remember that, when you're older, when it matters."I believed her completely. I was twelve. I didn't yet understand that a mothe

Chapter: Chapter 163Chapter 163Lisa's POVVincent found me in the study, sitting exactly where I'd been for the last hour, watching the door and waiting for a knock that felt like it would either save my life or break it completely apart, one or the other, no middle ground left.He held a single sheet of paper in his hand."The results are in," he said quietly, crossing the room to sit beside me, his weight settling the cushion in a way that made the moment feel suddenly, terrifyingly real.I couldn't make myself reach for it. "Just tell me. Please, just say it out loud."Vincent set the paper down on the small table between us, face up, so I could read it myself when I was ready, giving me that much control over the moment at least.Probability of full biological sibling relationship: 99.7%.I stared at the number until the digits blurred together, my chest tightening with something I didn't have a name for. Not relief, exactly. Not joy, exactly. Something bigger and messier than either of those words

Chapter: Chapter 162Chapter 162Christopher's POVThe board meeting lasted less than twenty minutes before three more partners walked out, their chairs still turning slightly in the silence they left behind.I sat alone in the empty conference room afterward, staring at the long table, listening to my own heartbeat pound too loud in my ears. Every week, the company bled a little more. Every week, Elena's public backing bought me a little less time than it had the week before.My phone rang. Gabriel."The partners are spooked," Gabriel said without any greeting, straight to business the way he always was. "You need Storm Global's statement renewed again, and this time it needs to be bigger. A press conference. Elena standing beside you, publicly, in front of cameras where everyone can see it.""She's not going to agree to that," I said."Make her agree," Gabriel said. "Or watch your company finish collapsing by the end of the quarter, and take my patience with it."I hung up without answering and sat ther

Chapter: Chapter 161Vincent's POV Duncan swallowed hard. I could hear him shifting uncomfortably on his hospital bed. "She... she told me her sister is dead," Duncan said softly. "She thinks Lisa didn't die an ordinary death. She thinks she was murdered by the enemies. She cried on the phone, Father. She said they killed her little sister, and she needs my help to find everyone who was behind it. She wants revenge." "Revenge?" I sneered, a dark, cold feeling washing over me. "She wants revenge for a woman who isn't even dead! Lisa is upstairs right now, sleeping in my bed!" "I know!" Duncan said quickly. "I know that! But Fiona doesn't know that! She thinks Lisa was murdered! That's why she finally came out of the shadows after hiding for years! She gave up her entire life to protect Lisa, and now that she believes her sister is dead, she has nothing left to lose! She stepped out on national television to drag every single person responsible for Lisa's supposed death into court and make them pay fo

Chapter: Chapter 160Vincent's POV "Because..." Duncan choked out, sounding like he was about to cry from pure stress. "Because I knew her, Father. Before the prison fire. Before I got framed by Christopher. Seven years ago... I knew her." "You... you knew her?" I repeated, my brain completely refusing to process the words. "How?! Where?!" "I met her years ago... back when I was still living as Lucian," Duncan started to explain, his voice trembling badly. He continued: “Before I got framed by Christopher and ended up in jail. Before I became your deadly enforcer. I was staying in that safehouse overseas for months. Do you remember that safehouse, Father?" “Yes, I remember,” I said, my jaw clenching tight. “You said you wanted to stay there until I stopped pressuring you to settle down and choose a woman.” "There was a woman staying in that same safehouse with me," Duncan whispered. "She was a runaway. She was so terrified, and constantly looking over her shoulder like someone was trying to kill h
