Alhamdulillah Done Artinya

Ethan hand gripped her hip hard enough to leave marks, the other tangled in her hair as he pulled her head back, kissing and biting her neck like he couldn’t get enough. They didn’t even notice me. “She’s downstairs,” Juliana gasped between moans, her voice wicked and breathless. “Pregnant… all round and swollen… looking so ugly… and here you are… fucking me.” Ethan chuckled low and cruel, never slowing his rhythm. “She’s not my wife. She’s just an incubator.” ################ He thought he destroyed her. He was wrong. Serena Harrington trusted three people: her husband. Her best friend. Her mother-in-law. They were all lying. On the night of the grand vow renewal party, she caught them in the act her husband brutally fucking her best friend over their own bed while they laughed and tore her apart with every vicious word. Her mother-in-law watched it all with a satisfied smile. And her husband? He looked at her like she was nothing more than a transaction. Six years of marriage. Six years of lies. Six years of watching her back while they plotted her ruin. They took her money. They destroyed her name. Then they left her for dead. But Serena survived. She disappeared. She rebuilt herself. She became someone unrecognizable. Now, five years later, she’s back. Not as the desperate wife they mocked. Not as the woman they buried. But as their worst nightmare Ethan Cadwell took everything from her. Now she will take everything from him. Piece by piece. Dollar by dollar. Tear by tear. And when he’s finally on his knees… she’ll show him exactly what a Harrington does to those who betray her. They thought they buried her. They should have made sure she stayed dead.

I found out I was pregnant at the same time as my mafia husband’s childhood sweetheart Rosa. To protect her baby from being aborted by her parents, my husband claimed her baby as his own. As for mine? He coxed me, saying he will claim only after her baby was born. I confronted him, demanding to know why he would do this to me. His response was cold and unwavering: “Claiming her baby as mine was the only way to protect them both. I won’t let anything happen to her or the child.” In that moment, as I looked at the man I had loved for ten years, I realized my love for him had died. Not long after, my family condemned me, calling me a slut for having a child without a father and pressured me into getting an abortion. Meanwhile, my husband was in another city, with his sweetheart, helping her through her pregnancy. By the time he returned, I was already gone.

One of Ethan Sterling's closest friends got drunk and humiliated me. Called me a nobody orphan who married above her station, said I'd never be accepted by the Sterlings, that I wasn't fit to sit at their table. Ethan smashed a bottle over the man's head. He announced in front of everyone that if anyone ever disrespected me again, he'd make them pay. When I was pregnant and the morning sickness was so brutal I couldn't keep anything down, he went and scheduled a vasectomy. He didn't want me to suffer through another pregnancy. This was a man who loved me like I was his whole world. And yet — when I was lying on the operating table about to give birth, he was standing right in front of me with his arms around Iris, putting on a show for anyone watching. Iris was the daughter of another old-money family and she'd donated bone marrow to save Ethan's mother's life. The night before her own engagement, her fiance betrayed her, and the trauma wiped her memory clean. Now the only thing she knew for certain was that Ethan Sterling was her husband. In her world, I was the homewrecker — the scheming woman using the bastard in her belly to force her husband into a divorce. Ethan promised me it was all an act. Just repaying the debt for his mother's life. Once Iris recovered, he'd walk away from her immediately. But when I picked up the surgical consent form for him to sign, and his first instinct was to pull Iris behind him — to shield her — I knew. His heart had already drifted off course. The fairy tale of a Cinderella marrying into high society was over. Time to wake up.

My husband Preston smashed up the solo art show I'd spent three years building for Vivian, the poor girl we had sponsored through college. "Chloe! What the hell did you send Vivian?!" "She read your goddamn text and suffered a depressive episode! She nearly jumped off the rooftop!" I looked at his furious face and the whole thing struck me as absurd. "Preston. What exactly did I send? I told her that today was the opening of my show and asked her not to call you during it." "She's sick! Why do you have to make every little thing a fight! If anything happens to her because of you — I'll never forgive you." With that, he didn't even glance at me. He turned and bolted back out into the storm. I didn't cry. I didn't even have the energy to be furious. I turned to leave, but in the rain, I ran into Rowan—a classmate from college. He used to be the most popular guy at our school — sweet and hot. But now he was severely injured. The torrential rain had soaked his shirt, revealing his perfect abs beneath. Without hesitation, I took him back to my apartment. Preston showed up pounding on the door, eyes red with rage. "Chloe — I'm gone for an hour and you drag some guy off the street into our bed?" I sneered and stepped in front of Rowan. "If you can play free therapist to some other woman, why can't I try being a philanthropist?"
