L'heure Du Divorce

<> - Vanessa thought rock bottom was signing divorce papers with Derek Holland, a man with the emotional depth of a teaspoon. Turns out, rock bottom had a basement, and Ryker Holland was waiting for her down there with a smirk and a plan. Ryker, Derek's older half-brother (aka the family's dirty little secret), shows up offering Vanessa a deal: help her make her ex-husband, Derek Holland, jealous enough to come crawling back. In exchange, he secures his position as CEO. But Ryker isn't doing this out of kindness for he is petty and cruel. He would do anything to trample all over Derek, and now he has the perfect weapon. Vanessa, freshly dumped and just desperate enough to play along. And if she happens to enjoy making her ex suffer too? Well, that's just a bonus. As Vanessa sinks deeper into Ryker's twisted world of fake romance, secrecy and family dysfunction, things start getting real. Because fake love? It's a lot easier to control than real feelings. And Ryker has no idea what to do when the game stops being a game. Is Vanessa walking into a trap or building one of her own? Either way, the Holland brothers are going down. One's going to break, and the other's going to enjoy every second of it. _Disclaimer: This story features morally complex, flawed characters with twisted motives. It includes themes of manipulation, deception, and emotional cruelty. Reader discretion is advised.

You have been cheating on me?” I whispered as I stared at my husband who was shamelessly hugging my stepsister in my presence. He shrugged. “You don't call it cheating when I never saw you as my wife. Besides, you are barren.”  "I want a divorce." He blurted out coldly without looking at me. I gasped in shock, my heart breaking into a thousand pieces as tears fell down my cheeks. "You want a divorce after everything?" I choked out, "I gave you my love, my kidney, Liam. I risked my life for you. And you know...  you know I can’t conceive because of that surgery.” He didn’t flinch...  He didn’t even look guilty. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and said with cold finality, “And I gave you a luxury life you could never afford. I think that is enough compensation for whatever you think you have done for me.” His voice was ice, no emotion, no remorse. I pressed a hand to my chest as the pain tightened around my heart. God, He just reduced my sacrifices to a transaction… a trade for comfort. So after everything, that’s all I was to him? A debt he paid off with money? ***************************************************** Aliyah lost her womb after giving her kidney to save her husband’s life.

Aliyah later married a powerful billionaire tycoon. Now, the very people who betrayed her are on their knees, begging for mercy. Will she forgive them or give them the taste of their own medicine?

« Dis-moi que tu ne veux pas ça, Vivianne… » Le souffle chaud de Noah caressait ma peau, son doigt effleurant mon clitoris douloureux, et son regard fixé sur moi. « J’arrêterai si tu me le demandes… » Ma taille se cambrant, un léger gémissement s’échappa de mes lèvres tandis qu’il glissait deux doigts en moi, un sourire narquois se dessinant sur ses lèvres. Je devrais le repousser… Je devrais le maudire, mais je n’y arrivais pas. Mon corps me trahissait. Je le désirais, j’avais horreur de l’admettre. Comment mon corps pouvait-il désirer le même homme qui avait ruiné ma vie ? « Non… Noah… » Ma respiration était saccadée, mes ongles s’enfonçant dans le matelas tandis que le désir m’envahissait. « Ne… ne… touche pas… argh ! Juste là… Putain ! S’il te plaît, ne t’arrête pas… » « Où, V… Dis-moi où tu veux que je te touche. » Ses doigts s’agitèrent en moi, me titillant. « Juste là… Putain ! » Mes hanches se soulevèrent d'un coup, mon vagin palpitant de plaisir, mes parois se contractant autour de ses doigts… juste avant que mon orgasme ne me submerge…

When I'm paying the pension for my jobless wife, Lilith Ingram, I accidentally find out that she's had a job this whole time. She's paid a salary of two thousand dollars, which is wired into her personal bank account. Every month, the money will be transferred elsewhere, leaving her without a single cent. I've never seen the money before. Back when our daughter, Maisy Ingram, was severely ill, we were 200 dollars short to pay for her hospital bills. I was so poor that I had to sell my blood and beg everyone around me just to get them to lend me money. But during that time, Lilith never thought of sharing the burden with me. She merely comforted me with empty words before transferring two thousand dollars to her first love, Hayden Grant, the next day. Our marriage of 30 years is reduced to nothing but a laughingstock. I place the divorce agreement that I've printed out in front of Lilith. It's a silent confrontation between us. "Must you really resort to this method?" Lilith snaps impatiently. "It's just two thousand dollars! You have an annual salary of 200 thousand dollars! Why care so much about chum change?" Even Maisy takes her side by calling me a petty, stingy geezer. "Everyone has an unattainable first love when they're still young! You should be grateful that Hayden has been holding back his urges without crossing the line for so many years!" I feel as though I got struck by lightning at that moment. It's then that I belatedly realize I'm the only outsider in this family. "Getting a divorce is fine by me. Hayden's getting on with the years. I just want to take care of him and send him off when his time eventually arrives." Maisy adapts a righteous tone. "As compensation for me, I get the house, the car, and the savings. You're leaving this marriage without a single cent under your name."

During the third year of our marriage, my husband's ex—whom he dated for eight years—suddenly shares a photo of a ten-million-dollar marital home on her social media. It's captioned, "I've finally gotten a mansion! Who's the best at dating? I am!" I gape at the image—I see my husband swiping his card at the real estate sales office in a corner of the photo. I leave a question mark in the comments. In the next second, my husband calls me to tell me off. "I'm just making good on a promise I made her when we were dating—to buy her a marital home. Why did you have to go insult her like that? Are you evil enough to turn me into a man who goes back on his word?" That evening, his ex shares another photo of a million-dollar renovation bill. I know it's a gift from my husband to appease her, but I don't care anymore…

« Papa ! » ai-je crié en tapant du pied sur le carrelage. « Je ne veux pas épouser Vann Morego ! Tu te rends compte qu'il est père célibataire ? » « Je le sais, Agnellino », a dit mon père d'une voix sévère. « Mais ce mariage est dans l'intérêt de notre entreprise. Nous avons besoin de l'aide de Vann, et il ne peut nous aider que si tu es mariée avec lui. » « Mais ce même homme a dix-neuf ans de plus que moi, Père ! » « Peu importe, Rella. Ce qui compte, c'est que tu accomplisses ton devoir d'épouse et que tu prennes soin de lui et de ses enfants. » ************ Dès le début, cela m'a semblé anormal. Pour moi, cela semblait totalement anormal, mais dans le monde de la mafia, ce n'était rien d'extraordinaire. Les mariages arrangés étaient monnaie courante dans les familles mafieuses, alors je m'y attendais. Mais lorsque j'ai appris que mon mari serait Vann Morego, le chef mafieux le plus redouté, j'ai eu un profond sentiment de mort. Notre mariage arrangé posait de nombreux problèmes. Il était père célibataire de deux enfants, et notre différence d'âge était importante : dix-neuf ans. Comment allais-je survivre en tant que mère et épouse soudaine d'un chef mafieux de dix-neuf ans mon aîné ?
