I pinched the bridge of my nose, forcing the words out as softly as possible.

“Eleanor never asked for this. She never wanted you to carry my child. That was never the plan. This affair is just between us two, because I love you, Margaret… revealing this pregnancy will destroy her, Maggie. It will ruin your sibling relationship. Do you understand? You think she’ll forgive you for this? You think she’ll see this as a gift? No. She’ll see it for what it is—betrayal. I lied, I was selfish with my desires. Please, you have to get rid of the baby.”

Silence.

Then the sound of a loud sob filled my ears.

“You…” she choked, her voice rising into a broken cry. “You lied to me. All this time, you’ve been lying. You made me believe I was helping her, that I was giving her joy, when all I’ve done is… betray her. My own sister! How could you do this! How could you! Do you know what this would do to her? I can’t believe I agreed to it. I am the worst sister ever.”

“Margaret, listen to me—”

  • HIS RUIN: SCORNED WIFE STRIKES BACK   SCAM OR NOT?

    That night I returned home from work.Suddenly I felt a headache creeping in before I even got my shoes off.There, sitting on the couch like she owned the place, was an old woman I didn't recognize.For a second, I froze, unsure of what I was supposed to do next. My heart raced. She looked experienced. This is not real. I don't believe in spiritualism bullshit, but what if she figured me out?The woman was small, with her gray hair pulled back into a neat little bun, her wrinkled hands folded in her lap like she'd been waiting for hours.My first thought was, Great. This must be the spiritualist Eleanor hired to interrogate me.I let the door shut behind me, squaring my shoulders with authority ,trying not to appear nervous as I walked in. I was already regretting coming home.She looked up, startled by my entrance and quickly stood up."You must be the spiritualist," I said, barely hiding my irritation.The woman blinked, startled, then smiled."Oh no, sir. I'm just the housekeepe

    My outburst drew curious stares from nearby tables, but I couldn’t care less.I turned to Richard, my face covered with frustration and disbelief.“A spiritualist? What is this nonsense now?” I muttered, tossing my phone on the table.Richard leaned back, his arm still draped around Queen’s waist, a smirk playing on his lips.“Looks like your wife’s pulling out the big guns. Maybe she thinks you’re possessed or something.”I scoffed, rubbing my temples.“Possessed by what? She wants me to think that, and you know it, Richard. I’m not a child.”Monica giggled, running her fingers through my hair.“Maybe she’s just trying to save your soul, baby. You know, wives and their crazy ideas.”I glanced up at her, exasperated.“Save my soul? She’s the one driving me insane! You wouldn’t understand.”Monica pouted dramatically, leaning closer.“Poor thing. You should let me be your therapist. I promise I’ll make all your stress disappear.” She licked my ear.I smirked but waved her off, grabbing

    "Yes!" I snapped, leaning forward. "I've never unlocked my phone in front of her. Never! I can't risk that. I'm too careful around her—she's very smart." "But you unlock it in front of me all the time," Richard countered, his tone calm but pointed. "If I know your password, what makes you think she doesn't? She lives with you, man. She's around you all the time." I hesitated for a moment, my eyes narrowing. "Look, just because you've seen me unlock it doesn't mean she has. I'm careful!" "Careful?" Richard scoffed. "You think you're the only careful man? Women are sharper than you think. She might've seen you type it in without you noticing. Or worse—she might've guessed it." I paused, looking uncomfortable. "It's not predictable. It's... it's random." At that moment, a tall, red-haired stripper in a shimmering silver bikini sashayed up to our table, her curvy body bouncing rhythmically to the music. Monica, my favorite stripper, smiled coyly as she leaned toward me, resting a

  • HIS RUIN: SCORNED WIFE STRIKES BACK   CLUB WITH BUDDY

    CHARLES'S POVThe Mega Life Exclusive Club was a popular spot that Richard and I loved to hang out at after taking a break from our tight medical schedules. Nothing felt better than a nice drink with your pal and hot girls twerking on your joystick! The club was dimly lit, with neon lights flashing in hues of pink, blue, and green, casting a glow over everything inside. Pop music thumped loudly, reverberating through the floor. The air smelled of perfume, alcohol, and a faint hint of smoke. Tables lined the perimeter of the room, and a long, sleek bar stretched along one side. Richard and I sat in a booth near the stage, drinks in hand. I swirled my whiskey absentmindedly, my main focus on the stage—a raised platform in the center, surrounded by poles that sparkled under the lights. Sexy, curvy strippers twirled, spun, and twerked their juicy, round assets to the music, drawing cheers and applause from the crowd. The big guys made money rain on them, and the strippers danced eve

    "Victoria, your bitterness is your burden, not mine. No matter how badly you treat me, I will always be nice to you... it's pointless." "Well, what choice do you have? You pauper! You are here, acting like a great daughter-in-law, because you have your eyes on the prize. You want my brother's properties. That's why you refuse to give him a child! I won't allow it!" she snapped. Without another word, she turned and stormed out of the kitchen, slamming the door behind her. At the same time, Annabelle appeared in the doorway, nearly colliding with Victoria. She caught her older sister by the arm, frowning. "What's going on, Tori? What happened?" "Ask that witch!" Victoria spat, yanking her arm free and storming off. Annabelle frowned, her gaze following her as she stormed off. Something had clearly happened. She quickly made her way into the kitchen, where she found me standing by the sink, my hands gripping the counter as I stared down at the soapy water. She froze at the sight

    I tilted my head, my gaze focused on Victoria, unblinking."You know, Victoria, it's funny you mention children."She folded her arms, a triumphant smirk spreading across her face."Oh, this should be good. Go on."I stepped closer, my voice dropping to a near whisper."IVF is not a secret anymore. I mean no offense, you know. Science is a wonderful thing, isn't it? Giving women in their forties the chance to finally have what they couldn't naturally."The slap came before I could finish my sentence.It was swift, sharp, and echoed through the kitchen like a gunshot.My head snapped to the side, my cheek stinging, but I didn't flinch or even raise my hand to my face.Instead, I laughed—a soft, chilling sound that sent a shiver down Victoria's spine."Touched a nerve, have I?" I murmured, straightening slowly.I turned my head to face her, my smile wide, making her uncomfortable. Her breathing was heavy, her face red with anger."Don't you dare bring IVF into this conversation again!"
