Nine Years Then Goodbye
On her ninth wedding anniversary, Amelia discovers that her husband, Shawn, has been cheating on her with her childhood best friend, Eva. When she chooses divorce, she discovers that Shawn has secretly protected his wealth, leaving her with almost nothing. His final betrayal comes when he claims their daughter, Claire, is not his biological child.
Years later, Claire fell ill and died after Shawn refuses to help save her life. Heartbroken, Amelia vows revenge. Her journey leads her to Adrian King, a cold, powerful businessman who marries her to escape a contract marriage arranged by his controlling mother. What begins as a marriage of convenience soon becomes something neither expected.
As Amelia uncovers the horrifying secrets behind Adrian's mother's involvement in his parents' deaths and the accident that left him wheelchair-bound, she helps him reclaim his life. Meanwhile, she exposes Eva's manipulation, the falsified DNA report, and Shawn's betrayal.
But as revenge threatens the love she has found with Adrian, Amelia must decide whether destroying those who hurt her is worth risking her second chance at happiness.

Chapter: DNA BoomshellI drove straight to Shawn’s house.The familiar gates opened slowly, revealing the house I had called home for nine years. Nothing had changed. The trimmed hedges, the stone pathway, even the porch light I had once complained about replacing still stood exactly where it had always been.I parked my car and sat behind the wheel for a moment, staring at the front door. This was the place where Claire had taken her first steps. The place where Sean and I had celebrated our first anniversary, built our business from nothing, and promised each other that we would grow old together.I pushed the door open without knocking, the sight that greeted me stopped me in my tracks.Eva, my childhood best friend, was sitting beside Shawn with her head resting comfortably on his lap. His fingers were tangled in her hair, moving through it with a tenderness I hadn't felt from him in months.For a moment, neither of them moved.“Wow, Shawn , just wow” a slow, bitter smile spread across my face as I bega

Chapter: My Nine Years'WorthLater that day, my mother came to the hospital with my daughter.The door opened slowly, and I looked up.My mother stood there, one hand gripping the strap of her handbag. Beside her was Claire, holding tightly to her hand.The moment Claire saw me, she let go of her grandmother and rushed to my bedside.“Mommy!”I barely had time to sit up before she wrapped her arms around me.I pulled her close, burying my face against her hair. Her familiar scent filled my lungs, and for a moment, I forgot about the hospital, the divorce, and everything that had happened.“You scared me,” Claire whispered. “Grandma said you were sick.”“I’m okay, sweetheart.” My voice came out weaker than I intended. “See, Mommy is okay.”My mother walked toward me slowly. Her eyes moved over my pale face, the IV attached to my hand, and the medication sitting on the bedside table.“Oh, my child,” she pulled me into her arms.“ “Look at me. Look at me,” she insisted, gently gripping my jaw and gently turning my f

Chapter: My Nine Years'WorthShe slowly removed another document from the folder.“There is something you need to understand before we file.”My stomach tightened. “What?”“According to these documents, you are not listed as a beneficiary or co-owner of several of the properties you believed belonged to both of you.”I found it hard to believe what I had just heard “What do you mean?”She turned the document toward me. “The house you lived in, the investment accounts, and two of the company's properties were transferred into separate entities before your husband filed the necessary documents.”My mouth went dry.“But we built those things together.”“I understand,” she said gently. “But legally, you don't have any right to claim them as yours”I shook my head, refusing to believe it. “No. We were married for nine years. Surely I'm entitled to something.”My throat tightened. I turned my face away before the lawyer could see me break; he didn't even think of Claire, our daughter.“You may have marital claims depen

Chapter: First Step To FreedomMorning came slowly.A faint ray of sunlight slipped through the curtains and rested against my face. I stirred beneath the covers, turning away from the brightness. My body felt heavy, as though sleep had barely touched me.For a few precious seconds, I didn't remember anything.I lay still, listening to the quiet room. There was something strangely peaceful about the silence. I almost allowed myself to drift back to sleep, hoping the heaviness in my chest would disappear when I woke again.Then I remembered, my husband, my best friend, the betrayal I stared blankly at the ceiling as the memories came rushing back, one after another. The ache in my chest returned with them, sharper than it had been the night before.I slowly turned my head toward the bedside table.My phone was lying there, I reached for it with a tired hand, I noticed a message from my mother-in-law on my phone. My heart still felt heavy, but as I read her words, a small flicker of hope began to stir inside me.I go

Chapter: I Want A DivorceI didn't almost stand up, I wiped my tears with my trembling hands and walked towards the door. When I opened it , my heart stopped .It’s Eva, coat on - suitcase in one of her hands and handbag on the other hand. My gaze fixed on hers..“What are you doing here?”I came for him," Eva said a smug taunting smile played on her lips, "my baby."I stared at the suitcase, then at Eva’s face waiting for the punchline that didn't come."You're joking," I said."I'm not." Eva picked up the suitcase like this was the most reasonable thing in the world and walked in looking everywhere as though she was searching for something.“Get out of my house, Eva”“ Your house, really?”Upstairs, a door opened. Shawn appeared at the top of the stairs, and for the first time all night, he looked something other than certain. He looked at Eva. He looked at the suitcase. He looked at me."Eva, what are you doing—"“I'm moving in, baby”“ Moving in?”“Yes, after all this is going to be my home opps this is my

Chapter: A Knock At My DoorA notification dropped on my phone“Hey bestie, Happy anniversary”I stared at the words, unable to breathe. My fingers tightened around the phone as the painful images of her and my husband flashed through my mind again.Then another message appeared.“Nine years already. Can you believe it?.That wasn’t a congratulatory message. It was a deliberate jab. But how could she be so cruel ? My mind went blank. I had absolutely nothing to say, I swallowed hard and typed slowly“ How long, how long have you been seeing my husband?”There was silence from her end, then she replied“Three solid years, Darling ““What!” she was so brutally honest, I swallow the hard lump in my throat.“Yea, he's just your husband on paper but mine in reality. While you were busy celebrating your marriage, he was spending those nights with me”Those words pierced through my heart like a thousand blades. My chest tightened, and tears blurred my vision as I stared at the screen, unable to believe that the person
