I'm the most important family he's got now." Bianca held her hand up to the vase as a cruel smirk twisted her lips. "You pale in comparison." **** Evelyn thought she was already living a blissful married life. Her husband, Adrian, was handsome and wealthy, and she was about to become a mother. But all of this was shattered by the arrival of her husband’s sister-in-law. Adrian, usually distant and indifferent to everyone else, showed an unusual level of care for Bianca, beyond the boundaries of family. Evelyn endured countless slights and provocations, until she discovered that Bianca had been two months pregnant, a secret kept from her alone. Determined to leave this broken household, Evelyn made up her mind to walk away. But Adrian behaved unlike himself. Desperate to win Evelyn back, he sought to make amends for the mistakes he had made.

Que peut faire une femme lorsque son mari a perdu la mémoire et qu'il est amoureux d'une autre femme ? Il y a trois ans, je suis restée dans le coma pendant un an après un accident de voiture. Lorsque je me suis réveillée, non seulement mon mari ne se souvenait plus de moi, mais il aimait une autre femme, Ashlyn. Mais je n'ai pas renoncé à notre couple. Il y a deux mois, nous étions ivres et nous avons couché ensemble pour la première fois en deux ans. Mais le lendemain matin, Jayden était plus en colère que jamais. Il était convaincu qu'il avait été drogué, ce qui n'était qu'un autre de mes stratagèmes pour le reconquérir... Je ne peux pas oublier l'image de lui me fixant sans aucune émotion dans les yeux et me tendant l'accord de divorce. Puis j'ai découvert que j'étais enceinte. La petite vie qui grandissait en moi m'a rendue plus forte. Cela fait maintenant trois ans et, lentement, chaque jour s'améliore. J'ai créé une petite entreprise de marketing et de conseil financier, mettant à profit ma formation. Mon associé, Philippe, m'a aidée à développer l'entreprise et nous sommes devenus très proches. Aujourd'hui, Philippe était tellement ému par la signature de notre plus gros contrat que ses lèvres se sont posées sur les miennes avant que je ne puisse l'en empêcher. Quand je me retourne, l'homme qui se tient devant notre porte vitrée et qui nous regarde, Philippe et moi, est mon ex-mari Jayden Brennan en personne. Y a-t-il de la jalousie dans ses yeux ? Que veut-il maintenant ?

“I’m pregnant too.” Sonia, my husband’s girlfriend said to me with a voice lifts with theatrical innocence. “Chase doesn’t know yet,” she continues casually. “I wanted to wait till the divorce is finalized. That way everyone will know I didn’t need to trap him with a baby… like you did.” There it is. The knife twist. Her eyes glitter with triumph as she walks out. I open my tote bag. The divorce agreement slides out easily. A thick stack of paper demanding my complete surrender of any claim to the Warren empire. In exchange for freedom. The woman who fractured herself trying to build a family out of dust is gone. I slide the signed documents into the top drawer of Chase’s desk. Let him find it. Let him choke on it.

She married him because of a contract. He married her because she was convenient. To the world, Alice Neighley is the perfect wife—graceful, obedient, invisible. Married to a powerful heir, she lives in a luxurious cage built on indifference and silence. Her husband never touches her heart, never defends her position, and never hides the truth: she was never the woman he wanted. When his first love returns, Alice becomes a placeholder—easy to replace, easier to discard. Even worse, the betrayal doesn’t come only from her husband, but from the people she once called family. But Alice is done begging for love. As the contract nears its end, secrets surface, loyalties shatter, and the woman everyone underestimated begins to wake up. She will walk away from the marriage they thought defined her—and from the man who believed she would never leave. What they don’t know is this: Alice is no longer the wife he never wanted. She is the one he will never get back.

Over the years, Julia had grown accustomed to being her husband Andrew’s substitute wife. Every time he looked at her face, she knew he was really seeing his late first love. But after so many years, her stepsister Charlotte returned to the country and shamelessly tried to take her place. Charlotte cozied up to her husband and won over her son. When her son said he’d rather live with Auntie Charlotte than with his own mother, Julia felt utterly heartbroken. She resolved to get a divorce and never be a substitute wife.

I slaved away for my husband and son. But what did I get in return? Cold shoulders, cutting words, and distance. Then one day, my husband suggested a “fake divorce” so my stepsister could adopt a child. Fine. Fake divorce it is. Except… if it’s just fake, why are the two of them heating up the sheets behind my back? Then, Fake divorce just turned real. My ex-husband thought I’d beg to come back. My stepsister thought I’d envy her for stealing my husband and son. They both thought I’d shatter. Wrong. I’ve got my career, my revenge, and oh—did I mention? I’m dating a drop-dead gorgeous man who actually knows my worth. And suddenly, life tasted sweeter than I ever imagined.

I spent years being the perfect wife—patient, loyal, invisible. I built a home, raised a child, and loved a man who slowly stopped choosing me. When betrayal became routine and silence was expected, I realized my sacrifice meant nothing to them. Walking away wasn’t an act of revenge. It was survival. This is the story of a woman who gave everything to her family—until she finally chose herself

He raised me like a daughter. Fate made me his mate. Rosie spent her life under Alpha Nicolas Hickman’s protection—the cold, powerful man she once called “Uncle.” She never expected the mate bond to tie her to him. She wants him to claim her. He refuses. Not because he doesn’t want her, but because danger follows her like a shadow—and loving her could get her killed. But Rosie is done waiting.
