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 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: Chapter 19Chapter 19~ Mirabella ~The hospital’s sterile air pressed against my skin like a second layer of ice. I didn’t know what I was hoping for when I came here, but each footstep felt heavier than the last. My phone was clenched tight in my hand, the text from the unknown number still glowing on the screen, its words burning into my thoughts:He never stood you up. Check the hospital.So I ran to the one hospital Cole and I were accustomed to.I couldn’t breathe—not from fear, not from panic, but from the sheer weight of something I couldn't place. Maybe everything.The receptionist gave me a strange look as I approached the desk, her eyes flicking down to my unsteady hands and then back up to my face. I must’ve looked a mess—my hair tangled and unkempt, my eyes bloodshot from crying, from trying to be strong for a fight I’d already lost.“I need to see Cole Carter,” I said, my voice hoarse from the desperate calls I’d made to his phone this morning.She blinked at me, an uncomfortable p

Chapter: Chapter 18Chapter 18 ~ Mirabella ~ The courthouse smelled like cold metal and floor polish. I sat on the hard bench, knees pressed together, hands twisted in my lap like they might unravel if I let go. The room was too quiet—an anxious kind of quiet that pressed against my ears and made my pulse pound louder than it should have. My eyes kept flicking toward the double doors. Any moment now. Cole would walk in. He had to. I’d left him five voicemails. I told him everything. Well, almost everything. I poured my pride into a blender and served him whatever was left of me, desperate and raw and choking on my own confessions. He had to come. He said he would come. Right? The clock on the wall ticked louder than it needed to. Every passing second jabbed needles into my skin. Rows of people filed into the courtroom. Ethan entered first, dressed in a sharp navy suit, the picture of a respectable father. Sienna followed closely, her red lips curled into something almost pleasant, if I
