She leaned back into him gratefully, letting him support her weight, and felt his chin come to rest on the top of her head. Whitmore slid the paper toward them, tapping a specific section. "Nineteen twenty-three, a woman named Elizabeth Hartwell made a bargain with a death entity—ten years to save her dying child. When the ten years were nearly up, she discovered a text, an old grimoire that had been in her family for generations. In it was a single line that changed everything." Seraphine felt Lucien's breath catch, felt the way his arms tightened around her middle almost convulsively. "What did it say?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, as if speaking too loudly might shatter th

Jane's said madly. The only thing Jester's wife held was the strand of the woman's hair. Because it was so long, it was easy for anyone to catch up with it. So, the rich man's flaming wife dragged her to her husband's bedroom. Jane tied her hands and slapped her several times, relieving her anger.

She should’ve walked away. But her legs didn’t move. And her core still throbbed. Then it dawned on her. “You live here as well?” “Bingo!” He swung himself onto the edge of the table like it was his throne and slowly took in the beauty standing in front of him. His father's new wife. What a shame. She could’ve had fire. Instead she picked frost. “For Victor's sake, make better choices next time.” She raised her chin high. The brunette from earlier walked to him and pressed a kiss to his cheek. “Call me.” She purred before disappearing into the night.

Cherry pouted, batting her eyelashes innocently. Ixora shook her head, unsurprised. Cherry was quite the actress. "Why are you looking for her?" She asked their angry visitors. The furious woman glared at them both. "She f-fornicated with my husband and then beat him up. He's still in the hospital because of her!" Ixora gasped in shock while Cherry laughed, amused.

she glared at me early in the morning, and she folded her arms across her chest like a terror teacher. “My wife, it’s early in the morning. What’s with the hot head on me?” I curiously asked because as far as I know, I have been a good husband to her since we got married. Am I not? “And how wouldn't my head get hot on you, you jerk? Do you have any idea what happened last night? Do you even remember?” She, then, arched an eyebrow at me while she was waiting for my reply. I scratched the back of my head because I clearly remembered what happened last night, but, I don’t know how to say it to her. What exactly does she want to hear?

Then I opened our bags and spread so much of the stuff all around so that she will take good time to clear it. I looked at the luggage to see if something more destruction I can do in the room. Suddenly I felt something hit on my back. I turned to look at it. Ah! My cheater wife has woke up. Now I have to act like a good husband. But why had she hit me. I raised my eyebrows at her to know what wrong has happened with her. But here we go, instead of getting any answer from her I got another pillow coming towards me. But now it cannot touch me as no one can hit me until I will not let them to do so. I caught that pillow in my hands and looked at wife after catching the pillow.

By tomorrow, I would no longer be Claire Laurent. The name I had carried for four years would disappear as though it had never belonged to me at all. My fingers tightened around the pen. For a long moment I simply stared at the page willing my hand to move. I hadn't expected something as simple as writing my own name to feel so impossibly difficult but once the ink touched the paper there would be no changing my mind. This would be the last document I ever signed as Damien's wife. I drew in a slow breath and wrote my name.

Adrian turned first and pushed the door wider. The room was dark. Empty. Except on the bed, someone had laid out Clara’s white wedding dress. Across the bodice, written in red lipstick, were five words. LET THE NEW WIFE WEAR IT.

From the quiet suburban kitchen where I had shrunk myself, to the public humiliation that broke me open, to this penthouse filled with love and possibility. The hidden billionaire had stepped into the light. The disrespected wife had become the architect of her own destiny. The cold female lead had thawed into a woman capable of deep, healthy love. And the best part? It wasn’t an ending. It was a beautiful, ongoing beginning. Tomorrow would bring new challenges, new joys, new opportunities to choose myself and my people. I was ready for all of it. With a soft smile, I drif ted into peaceful sleep, the crown of my own making resting firmly in place.
