All Chapters of The Wife He Threw Away : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I never thought this day would come. I’ve imagined a lot of things that could go wrong in my marriage, but I never even imagined that it would come to this. And I never thought I would see it with my own eyes. But there it was— a picture of my husband holding another woman close, smiling in ways he never smiled at me. To make it worse, it was not just any woman. It was Eva Sterling. “Multibillionaire, Lucian Dhark, reunites with superstar, Eva Sterling.” When I first read the headline, I was so shocked I could barely stand on my feet . For a moment, it felt like the world was spinning. The name ‘Eva Sterling’ haunted me. Eva was the woman who lived on magazine covers and television screens, the golden girl admired by the whole world. I grew up watching Eva on TV, in my tiny dorm room, wondering how someone could look so flawless. How someone could be so wanted. She always seemed so perfect, so untouchable and glamorous, almost as if she wasn’t part of the same wor

I wanted to stay home.My whole body felt heavy and hollow. The doctor’s words would not stop ringing in my head. It felt like my eyes were burning with tiredness. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Lucian turning away from me after hearing the doctor’s words… Earlier that day, Lucian’s assistant had sent me a reminder:“Your presence is required at the Dhark Foundation Gala.”In other words, I had to go to the event, with or without Lucian. My whole life, I’ve been taught that the good wife shows up. So I dressed up, put on faint makeup, and I showed up. But I regretted coming to the Gala as soon as I stepped in. The photographers barely glanced in my direction as I stepped out of the car. Their cameras swung past me, settling instead on a woman in a red dress. They screamed her name and the camera lights flickered endlessly. It was just Claire Moreau after all. If Lucian had accompanied me, it would have been a completely different story. Inside the ballroom, golden chandelie

I woke up alone. The other side of the bed was cold and untouched_ almost as if Lucian had never slept there. I stayed still for a moment, staring at the ceiling, wondering if I had imagined everything that had happened last night. Eva’s text… the way Lucian hadn't even pretended to hesitate. He’d checked his phone, grabbed his jacket, and left the house, claiming he had work to take care of. No explanation. No reassurance. Just the sound of the front door closing behind him. I noticed my phone vibrating on the night stand. Then I reached for it, almost dreadfully. The screen lit up. BREAKING NEWS: ACTRESS EVA STERLING SPOTTED IN INTIMATE MOMENT WITH BILLIONAIRE CEO LUCIAN DHARK. It felt like my soul left my body. The first image loaded slowly, as if the universe wanted me to suffer. It was a picture of Lucian and Eva on the balcony of a luxury hotel suite. His hand was placed intimately on her waist, while her fingers curled into his hair. Their mouths

The mansion felt small. Smaller than it ever had. Even from my bedroom, I could hear the reporters crowding outside the tall gates. The atmosphere was buzzing, like my home was a spectacle. Cameras flashed. Voices carried faintly through the glass. I could hear them talking about me— my marriage, my body. Since my medical report got leaked, I had not dared to leave the house. Every time I reached for the door, my chest tightened with dread, until I couldn’t breathe. My phone lay face-down on the nightstand. I hadn’t turned it back on since last night. I hadn’t heard from Lucian either. I told myself that meant nothing. That he would come home eventually. And finally, he did. The sound of a car pulling into the driveway woke me. I froze. Lucian was home. I raced out of the bedroom before I could stop myself. The front door opened and Lucian walked in, controlled and confident as always. I heaved a silent sigh of relief. Then I heard a

By the time I reached the driveway, Eva was already being helped into the car, one hand pressed dramatically to her stomach, the other holding onto Lucian. Lucian didn’t wait for me. He didn’t look half as composed as he used to. That is when I realized that he was scared_ for the baby, of course. And for her. Nobody else mattered in that moment. Not even me. I stood by the sidelines, clutching the divorce papers to my chest, as the car sped away. No one asked if I was coming. No one looked back. I arrived at the hospital half an hour later. Eva lay on the bed, pale and fragile, surrounded by machines and nurses. Lucian stood by her side, his hand never leaving hers. Sometimes he stroked her cheek, other times he looked deep into her eyes and reassured her that everything would be okay. I looked away, pretending not to see it. Convincing myself that it didn’t matter— I was being discarded anyways. Lucian spoke to a nurse, asking questions and absorbing
