LOGINHaley Kane hid her powerful family background and spent three years loving her husband, Kieran Colin, with everything she had. She believed their marriage was built on sincerity—until the truth shattered her world. On their fourth wedding anniversary, Haley’s grandfather finally accepted her back into the family and prepared to hand over his vast fortune. But just as her life seemed perfect, she uncovered a devastating secret: her marriage was nothing but a lie. The license was fake. Kieran had already legally married the woman he truly loved—Lydia Douglas. Every ounce of affection Haley thought belonged to her had always belonged to Lydia. Even the child she once dreamed of carrying… Lydia had already given birth to. Betrayed, humiliated, and heartbroken, Haley walked away in silence—without tears, without looking back. When she returned— she was now stronger, colder, and glowing beside her new husband. Standing before her door, Kieran knelt, desperate for forgiveness. Haley only smiled, her eyes calm and distant. “Sorry,” she said softly. “You’ve already been replaced.” A story of betrayal, and a woman’s dazzling comeback.

If you’re willing to quite the game, I’ll give you twenty million dollars as compensation.” A message was sent to Stella. Along the message was a photo of her husband Clarence and his mistress Vivian Sean both sleeping on the bed. When Stella got the text message her lips curled up, she was at the hospital where she had just been informed by the doctor that she needed to take care of her health, because of she had been feeling so weak lately. “Okay Doctor, I will.” Stella said and left quickly. On her way back home, she brought out her phone from her bag and searched for Clarence’s number and called him. The call was picked immediately and she heard the aloof voice of the man which echoed from the other end of the phone, “What is it?” “Will you come home tonight.” She asked. There was silence on the other end, but the man spoke up after a while, “Is there any important issues we need to discuss?” “Did..did you forget what day it is today?” She asked with disappointment in her heart. Today was their wedding anniversary and he was expected to return home to celebrate it but it seems he wasn’t even aware of this, what’s even more he was cheating on her with another lady and even got her pregnant. She could bear the fact that after spending three years loving him he did not reciprocate back the feeling, but she could not bear the fact that he got another lady pregnant knowing fully well how she was struggling to conceive his child. What a big fool she had been to fall in love with a psychopath. Unfortunately he could only grumble and said, “I’ll come back tonight, if that’s all goodbye.” The call got disconnected. Stella’s heart sank to the pit as she could only endure all this in silence. Then she took a deep breath and placed back her phone in her bag and boarded a bus home. ……. As soon as she got home, Stella took a bath and stared with a bitter heart at the lingerie that she had prepared to spend with Clarence that night , but unfortunately it was a waste now. ‘Enough is enough, I can’t bear this anymore. It’s time to give up on this marriage’ she told herself and brought out the divorce papers from the cupboard. And with a bitter heart, she signed her signature and took the divorce documents downstairs. It was only normal that she file for a divorce knowing that even if she spends more years with Clarence, nothing will change, so divorce was the solution now. For three years, she worked hard to melt his heart; however, he was only using her and now toss her out . What a fool she had been, thinking that he would love her back. Now, everything felt like a cruel joke. ….. After keeping the documents on the table, she went to the kitchen to make dinner. The doctor’s words about her taking care of her health echoed in her ears. Because of her duty towards Clarence, she failed to take very good care of herself, risking her health and putting him as her first priority, but now it all dawned on her how stupidly in love she had been. But not anymore! It was porridge that she was making and soon after the food was ready. As she placed the food on the table and set to eat, the door opened and Clarence walked in. Seeing him, she lost her appetite instantly. Clarence made his way to go upstairs pretending that he did not just see her, however…. “Clarence, wait—-“ Stella stood up and grabbed his hand Clarence turned back and glanced at her, “what is it?” “So Clarence you’re cheating on me!” Stella said. Initially she just wanted to pretend like she didn’t know about his affair with his mistress, but the pain and betrayal could not allow her to keep it all to herself anymore. Without waiting for a response from him, she rushed and took the divorce documents. Pump! A deafening sound startled him. Stella threw the divorce paper before Clarence. “Sign it Clarence, we’re getting a divorce.” Stella’s cold voice reached his ears. Stunned, Clarence’s eyes reached for the document and it was boldly written ‘Divorce papers’ “ I don’t think this is going to work anymore, I can’t do this.” She said. Clarence smiled and said, “Are you sure. There won’t be a second chance after this.” With a smile Stella offered him the pen, “You don’t have to worry about this. I should have done this a long time but I was too foolish all this years. This will give you all the chance to be with your mistress and I won’t be a burden to you. I hope you remain happy with her.” He took the document without signing them, somehow he felt heartbroken but he didn’t know why he was feeling this way. He knew she had only gotten married to him because of his wealth, so it was only normal for him to be happy that they are about to get divorced. He glanced back at her and quickly stated, “I’ll go through the document and sign it. Also this villa is already yours, you don’t have to move out.” “I don’t want it, it all yours so…” Stella said but was cut short by Clarence. “You really don’t have to move out of you don’t want. I can leave instead.” Without waiting for him to finish his statement, Stella went upstairs while Clarence continue glancing at her as she walked away. An hour later, She came downstairs with her clothes that she bought with her money and left the expensive ones Clarence bought for her for the past three years including the jewelries. Clarence was no longer there. She looked at the gifts in her hand It was the present that she had prepared for their three years wedding anniversary today, now it was a waste. Bang! The gifts was worth more than one million but Stella threw them without a second thought. Then she heaved a sign of relief and accepted the fact that her three years of marriage was all a joke. She was such a fool to have gotten married to him in the first place. Then she left the villa and headed a taxi, telling the driver to send her to Sherry Perry’s place. Sherry was her best friend.
As a bonus, Rhett had even brought Haley’s favorite grape cake. However, he had just purchased a hundred more servings and had the bakery send them directly to the female employees of Ty Group, keeping all staff in mind. He strolled toward the company's entrance while holding the cake. "Rhett!" He was ready to enter when someone called his name from behind. Rhett spun around and looked at the man for a short while. Then it dawned on him that this skinny, sun-kissed man was Kieran. In an instant, his eyes were icy. “You again, Kieran Colin.” With an excessively submissive tone, Kieran moved forward. “Don't get me wrong, man. I'm not here for Haley." Rhett gave him a blank stare. "And?" Kieran raised the fruit basket he was holding. “I dropped these off after a young woman from the workplace asked me to bring her some fruit,” "I've come to my senses," he continued. “I am aware that I am no longer suitable for Haley. I won't trouble her again as long as she's content.
After a moment of shock, Kitty’s thoughts went to a phone call she had received six months earlier. Could Eleanor have been the woman on the line, shattered and tortured beyond recognition? Her hands began to shake uncontrollably, and in that moment, a thought flashed across her head: if this was real, it was finally her chance to defeat Haley. The D’Souza would be furious if Haley had actually created a trap and delivered Eleanor to hell. With no chance of reconciliation, they would turn into the Kane' fiercest adversaries. Without a doubt, that would put Haley at the bottom of the Kane heir competition. Her reputation would be ruined if the allegations persisted and everyone thought she was capable of such a heinous deed. Her name would be spat on by Vest city’s elite. At that point, even Rhett would abandon her. What is the purpose of a marriage certificate? Haley would never enter the Fez Estate. She would never be in charge of the household if she didn't have a posit
Kitty scowled and let out a chilly chuckle. "Have to do? Haley, I see this for what it is—you just want to make yourself important in this family." Haley gave a headshake. "The Kane family has ample resources. That's not how I have to assert myself. However, Rhett and I are now married. Our interests are intertwined. We rise and fall together. He puts in a lot of effort operating a large firm and handling crisis after crisis. It is my responsibility as his wife to ease his burden and ensure that everything is in order at home. I'm not targeting you or anyone else in this family with what I'm doing right now. I'm just doing as a wife ought to." Kitty’s neck tensed. "Don't make yourself out to be some kind of saint." Haley looked her in the eye. "Mrs. Fez, after all these years married to Mr. Jason Fez, haven't you ever wanted to do something for this family or for your sons?" Kitty was unprepared. Her face became stern. "Everything is available to the Fez. What can I do?” Haley gr
Neither of them saw the automobile arrive at their apartment complex. A breeze dispersed cherry blossoms from the courtyard trees as they stepped outside, the petals falling like snowflakes across their shoulders. Haley stood on her tiptoes and instinctively leaned into Rhett as she reached up to remove a petal from his hair. He seized her, and they found themselves sharing a gentle, deep kiss beneath the falling flowers, the heat of something new blending with the easy closeness of long love. The surroundings vanished from view. Neither saw the eyes peering through the tinted window or the brand-new luxury vehicle parked close by. Building a new life in Africa had brought Kieran dangerously close to suicide. He had made roughly $6 million, which was sufficient to pay off his debts and leave him with about $1 million. He registered a new business, purchased a new vehicle, and located the tech partners who had collaborated with him from the start. They would return to the intern
Then Haley heard a voice she recognized. "I apologize, Lydia," Kieran murmured in a quiet, personal voice. "Haley’s appearance surprised me too. I'm sorry you had to deal with it.”Lydia has a beautiful, syrupy voice. "I'm accustomed to that by now, so it's okay. But Haley will be angry since you'v
With a fixed smile, Haley looked around before calmly focusing on Kieran. "You still weren't home," she remarked softly. "I wanted to check in. Are you finished now? You mentioned working late."Darling, perfect timing," Kieran blurted out. "Lydia recently closed a billion-dollar contract with the
In front of the Colin Group building, the vehicle came to a stop. A delivery man with a huge bouquet of red roses walked past her toward the door as Haley emerged. She instantly recognized the unusual wrapping—the pricey florist downtown, Kieran’s favorite. She walked behind the delivery man
“I’m at the Luffy restaurant. Can you come ma’am, there’s something important I need to discuss with you.” “Okay. Sure.” Haley ended the call. She stopped a car when she got outside and told the driver to take her to the Luffy restaurant. As soon as she got there, Haley saw the man seated an
