Rising From Betrayal
Mirabella had built her life around love, trust, and devotion, believing that her marriage to Ethan was the very definition of a perfect union. Despite struggling with infertility, she held onto the dream of a future filled with happiness, willing to sacrifice anything for the man she loved. However, her world is irreversibly shattered when she unexpectedly walks in on Ethan in bed with her older sister, Sienna—the one person she had always trusted. Instead of guilt or remorse, Ethan throws divorce papers in her face, blaming her for her inability to conceive, while Sienna mocks and humiliates her, making it clear that Mirabella has been replaced.
Left homeless, heartbroken, and utterly betrayed by those she once considered her entire world, Mirabella spirals into despair, her once-glamorous life crumbling around her. As she drowns in hopelessness, a powerful yet mysterious ally steps forward, offering her the support, resources, and guidance she needs to rise from the ashes of her past. Fueled by pain but strengthened by newfound determination, Mirabella reinvents herself, stepping into a world of power, influence, and ruthless ambition. No longer the fragile woman Ethan and Sienna discarded, she meticulously orchestrates a masterful plan to reclaim her dignity and dismantle the lives of those who wronged her.
But as Ethan and Sienna’s world begins to crumble under the weight of their own greed and deception, Mirabella is faced with an unexpected realization—true power is not in revenge but in the ability to walk away. Will she take her vengeance to the bitter end, or will she choose to embrace a new beginning, where her happiness is no longer tied to the past?

Chapter: Chapter 25Chapter 25~ Mirabella ~“Hey, babe. You look like hell.”I stared at her. No breath. No blink. Just... stared. Like maybe if I looked hard enough, she’d vanish back into whatever dark, twisted corner she’d crawled out from.But she didn’t vanish. She smiled wider. Of course she did.Selina always smiled like that—like every word out of her mouth came with perfume and poison.I bent down slowly, picked up the pen that had fallen from my hand, and signed the last damn letter of my name with a jab that nearly tore the paper. Then I turned on my heel and started walking away.She fell in beside me, those red heels clicking like a metronome of madness.“Wow. No hug? No ‘thank you’ for getting you out of that steel box they tossed you in?”I kept walking. Her perfume followed—some expensive blend of desperation and guilt wrapped in designer notes.She reached for my arm. I jerked it away and shoved past her like she was a wall I had no patience to climb.“Mirabella, come on.” Her voice til

Chapter: Chapter 24Chapter 24~ Mirabella ~The interrogation room was cold—too cold.Not the kind of cold that brushed your skin and made you shiver a little, no.This was bone-deep, cement-floor, metal-chair, no-windows kind of cold. The kind that crept into your soul and settled there like it owned the place. Like it had been waiting for you all along.A single fluorescent light buzzed above me, flickering faintly every few seconds, like it was mocking my sanity with each blink.I sat there with my hands cuffed to the metal loop drilled into the tabletop. My wrists ached, but I didn’t complain.Not yet.Not when I still had a thousand questions spiraling in my head.Not when my son was lying in a hospital and Ethan had tricked me again.Not when I had been dragged out of that room like some kind of murderer.The door swung open for what felt like the tenth time.Two officers walked in—one tall and broad with a neck thicker than my thigh, the other leaner, with a clipboard he seemed to be using to mea

Chapter: Chapter 23Chapter 23~ Mirabella ~I hung up before it beeped.Called again.And again.Same result.I wanted to scream. To hurl my phone at the airport walls until the screen shattered and the voicemail with it. But I didn’t. I just gripped the device so tightly my knuckles paled, and hurried toward the main exit, my legs moving like they were no longer mine.“Taxi!” I flagged the first one I saw the moment I stepped outside, yanking the door open and tossing myself and my suitcase in. “Drive—please. Out of here. I’ll give you the address once I have it.”The driver gave me a look but didn’t question me. He simply nodded, pulled away from the curb, and slid into traffic.The city blurred past. Lights, people, signs—none of it made sense. It was like I was moving through static. My fingers hovered over my phone the entire time, eyes flicking to the screen every few seconds. I checked for a missed call. A text. Anything.Nothing.Still nothing.Ethan better not be kidding with such a news.Then,

Chapter: Chapter 22Chapter 22~ Mirabella ~The airport was unusually quiet for a Thursday. Or maybe it wasn’t. Maybe the noise was there and I just couldn’t hear it—like the world was moving and I was stuck in between seconds, standing still in a place that no longer felt like mine—alive.I clutched the handle of my one suitcase, the same one I brought when I came back to Switzerland a few weeks ago with dreams packed between layers of baby onesies and sleepless hope. It felt heavier now, but not because of what was inside.Because of what I was leaving behind.My fingers tightened around the grip. My heart hollowed out somewhere beneath my ribs, yet my chest still carried something stubborn—something foolishly hopeful. A small whisper that maybe, just maybe, this was what starting over multiple times looked like. Not brave. Not perfect. Just… necessary.The glass windows beside me overlooked the runway, planes gliding across it like clockwork. I followed their movements with my eyes, but in my mind, a

Chapter: Chapter 21Chapter 21~ Mirabella ~Mr. Richard laughed.Not the kind of laugh that lightened the mood. Not the kind that made you second-guess your anger. This laugh? It was sharp, mocking, and it scraped across my skin like sandpaper.I didn’t find it funny.My eyes narrowed, cutting through the air between us. “What’s so funny?”He tilted his head, still grinning, and parroted my words back to me with a sneer. “‘Everything,’” he said, mimicking my tone. “‘I want everything.’” His voice was high-pitched and dramatic, a mockery of what I'd just declared. “You make it sound so... poetic.”I didn’t smile. Because nothing was worth beaming my pearly whites.“I can’t give you everything, sweetheart,” he said with a shrug. “This isn’t a fairytale. You have to choose. One thing. Not all.”I leaned in slightly, voice firm as I repeated. “I want everything.”He chuckled again, deeper this time, like I’d just confirmed every twisted thing he thought of me. He relaxed into his seat, folding his arms, eye

Chapter: Chapter 20Chapter 20~ Mirabella ~I didn’t need a pigeon to flap around chirping nonsense to figure out the message Mr. Richard was delivering. This wasn’t his first threat—just the first time he actually meant it.“I’ll make sure Cole doesn’t recover from this,” he said, each word cold and slow, like a bullet slipping into a chamber. “I’ll make sure you never get near him again. I'll make sure your son will be raised far from your shadow, and you’ll live the rest of your life choking on every regret.”I didn’t flinch. My hand curled beneath the table, pressing against a belly that hadn’t begun to show.“No, you won’t,” I said calmly. “Cole is my fiancé. And I’m carrying his child. I’m pregnant, Mr. Richard.”Let him stew on that.Just because he had wealth, power, and a contact list that could end nations didn’t mean he could stomp through my life and call the shots. I wouldn't let him. Not when I had already lost so much. Not when I loved Cole. Not when this baby—our baby—was growing inside

Chapter: 5Chapter 5Dolly's POV The room was too white and bright. Too loud with so many guests as if we were holding a press meeting. It was like walking into heaven if heaven had a bad sense of humor.Chandeliers the size of horses dangled from the gold-embellished ceiling, catching every glint of light and flinging it into my eyes like a taunt. Roses; no, not just roses; imported roses in obnoxiously perfect arrangements spilled across the pews and trailed along the aisle like someone thought this was a royal coronation.Who organized this wedding, holy mother. This is wealth.“Move,” one of the maids assigned to me to ensure I don't run away whispered behind me, nudging my arm harder than necessary. I stumbled forward slightly, the ridiculous weight of the gown and veil dragging my body like chains. Three other maids flanked me, all dressed in ivory like angels assigned to escort me straight to hell. Or maybe prison. I wasn’t sure which I preferred anymore.The music played softly. A pian

Chapter: 4Chapter 4Dolly POVThe door slammed shut, leaving behind a silence that ate at my skin and left nothing but goosebumps behind. They were gone. All of them. Except Cassidy, she hadn’t moved.She stood still, her back turned to me, her shoulders shaking with what I thought were sobs. My throat burned from crying. My legs trembled and I fought the urge to go down to the ground in shame. “Cass…” I choked out, dragging the sheet tighter around me. “Please, I swear on everything—I don’t know what happened. I don’t remember how I got here. I didn’t touch him, I didn’t do anything. It's really not my fault.”She turned around slowly. And wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.But something in her face had changed.She wasn’t crying anymore. There was no heartbreak, no pain, no confusion. Only amusement, Annoyed amusement.She gave a long, dramatic sigh like she was tired of pretending. “God, you’re so dumb.”My brows furrowed. “W-what?”“You really don’t get it, do you?” she asked

Chapter: 3Chapter 3Dolly POV “Mmm... Ryan?”My voice was thick with sleep, echoing through wherever room I currently laid, I reached out blindly, fingers brushing across warm sheets, soft pillows, and…A chest.A Hard, solid and muscular chest. My heart rate spiked, that was definitely not Ryan.I frowned, still not opening my eyes. Maybe I was dreaming. Maybe Ryan had finally been hitting the gym like he swore he would every New Year. I curled closer, wrapping an arm around him, pressing my cheek to the warmth.Something was wrong.Ryan’s chest didn’t feel like this; his was soft, warm with a layer of gentle flesh I’d always found comforting. This… this was sculpted and firm. Quite similar to a rock.Wait a minute… I blinked slowly.The light streaming through unfamiliar cream-colored curtains made me squint.This wasn’t Ryan’s room.This wasn’t my room either.My lashes fluttered open fully, and that’s when the world exploded.I screamed, jerking back so fast I fell off the bed, dragging t

Chapter: 2Chapter 2 Dolly's POV The music hit me before the doors even opened. Loud, aggressive, pulsing like a heartbeat that belonged to someone a lot more alive than I felt. Neon lights sprayed across the sidewalk, painting my bare legs and arms with pink and purple and sickly green.Inside was chaos.Bodies everywhere. Lights slicing the dark. Music that pounded into your ribs.Amira pulled me inside with a tight grip on my wrist.I didn’t realize I was still holding the cake until someone bumped into me and it nearly flew out of my hands. A part of me wanted to take it outside and smash it into the sidewalk. Another part wanted to cradle it like it was the last thing I had that hadn’t betrayed me.She led me through the crowd like she knew exactly where to go. I followed dumbly, my heels wobbling, my throat dry, my chest aching.We slid into a booth near the bar, low and velvet-lined, half in shadow. Amira took the cake from me and set it down on the seat.“Stay,” she said. “I’ll get dri

Chapter: 1Chapter 1 Dolly's POV Today was not just any night. Not just his birthday. It was going to be the night. The night I finally gave myself to the boy I’d loved since high school. Seven years of holding hands, movie dates, forehead kisses and promises. Seven years of soft-spoken "I’ll wait for you" and me believing every single one.I stared at my reflection, running my fingers nervously over the neckline of the red satin dress I’d almost put back on the hanger three different times in the store. It hugged my body in all the right places, made me look like I knew what I was doing when in reality, my hands had been shaking since morning.Behind me, Amira let out a low whistle, arms crossed and leaning against the wall like she was about to start rating me out of ten.“Damn, Dolly,” she grinned, popping her gum. “You sure you’re just giving him cake tonight? Or are we finally popping that cherry?”I blushed, turning away and pretending to fix my earrings, even though they were fine. “I d
