The $18 Billion Wife He Abandoned Novels & Stories

"Fine. I can't stand the whispers anymore. My wife's been screaming at me since last night—threats, talk of divorce, even suicide attempts. It's driving me mad." He wasn't precisely in love with his wife; his marriage gave him an easier lane in a hospital where his father-in-law had influence. But maybe he'd had enough of crawling. Even half of that prize money was 20 million. Which country couldn't they go to? Which mansion couldn't they buy? "Alright," he said, trying to sound composed though his voice trembled. "Get ready. Make sure we move fast to secure the money." Lauren agreed at once. She sat on the bed for a long time to steady herself, then went out into the living room. "Dad, Mom,

He didn't know that he wanted to leave or that he needed it, until his brother made the mention of leaving that place. Although the word "abandon" was not to Charisse's liking, because it made her nostalgic. Their father had abandoned them, their mother had died, years later they learn that their father had also died and as if they were not many misfortunes, they are left without money. But luckily Jared finished his university studies and was able to get a good job at Graham Group, the rest that happened did not exist in Charisse's mind, because she was in a coma, she did not know the course that Jared's life took or his friendship with Robert.

I was a nobody orphan from a humble background, but my husband, Ethan Sterling, was the heir to one of America's wealthiest old-money families. He defied his entire family to marry me. But as I lay on the operating table, about to give birth, he stood before me, embracing Iris, putting on a show in front of everyone. Because Iris donated bone marrow to save his mother's life. The night before her own engagement, her fiancé betrayed her, and the trauma wiped her memory clean. Now the only thing she knew for certain was that Ethan Sterling was her husband.

"Sara, are you okay?" Sara wiped away her tears and stood up without saying a word. Natalie shot an angry glare at Yohan and said, "She's pregnant. You shouldn't have pushed her. What if she got hurt?" Yohan responded with hatred, "She's hurt me by getting pregnant with someone else's child." He advanced towards Sara and gripped her arm, teeth clenched. "Do you want to demonstrate what an ideal wife you are by getting pregnant with his child?" Sara's heart quivered upon hearing this. Yes, she had strived to be the perfect wife and ended up pregnant with her ex-husband's child. Her current husband had already abandoned her, and her ex-husband remained ignorant of the truth. What a complicated

She turned, and for half a second I saw it — the flicker of calculation before the mask dropped back into place. Tears welled up on command. "Ethan." Her voice cracked. "Tell them. Tell everyone what you did to me last night. Screaming at me in my own home. Demoting me in front of my best friend. For what? For asking why my husband spends every night with another woman?" "Juliana, we're not doing this here." "Why not?" She spread her arms, playing to the small audience. "Everyone should know. Ethan Cadwell takes his wife of three years and turns her into a glorified secretary overnight, with no warning, no explanation—"

Lena’s pen stilled for a fraction of a second before she continued writing. “That’s none of your business.” “It is my business,” he snapped. “You’re suing me for it.” “I’m suing you for the damage you did to me,” she corrected. “Try to keep up.” “Lena—” “One hundred million per year,” she said, finally looking up at him again. “For the three years I wasted in your fucking house playing wife.” Julian blinked. “Wasted?” “Yes.” “That’s what you think it was?”

Claire never thought she’d feel this way, but she was so relieved and happy to see him. He walked up to the store attendant. “There must have been a mistake somewhere; my wife would never steal,” he said before bringing out his card. “Here. I’ll pay for it and the whole bag, shoes, and clothes in this section.” He basically gestured to half of the store. Claire’s jaw dropped. She knows he’s rich, but buying a $4800 pair of heels alongside a whole section, which totaled $467,000, casually is crazy. After he got his card back and they started packing what he bought, he faced Diana and her daughter. “Fancy meeting you here, but I don’t appreciate you calling my wife out without my knowledge and

Who does he think he is, I said to myself as I climbed the stairs. I know that he’s helping my father, but does he think we are the only one’s getting something from this deal, he is also getting me so why should he behave as if he’s doing us a favor. Putting these thoughts behind me for another day I changed back into my sleeping robe and slept off as soon as my head touched the soft pillow. ( Two days later...) Alexandria had fulfilled his promise to my family after the wedding. Later he met with my father, Andrew, and they drafted a contract and he helped him by giving him ten million dollars to sort out his business affairs and troubles.

Everyone had also known Ethan only had eyes for Chloe. Then one reckless night changed everything. Ethan decided she'd planned it trapped him on purpose. He wanted nothing to do with her after that. But the Bennett family's finances had collapsed that same season. Old Mr. Blackwood stepped in: he'd bail out the Bennetts and send Chloe safely abroad to study, on one condition Ethan would marry Naomi instead. She'd tried to explain the truth more times than she could count over seven years. Ethan never once believed her. So she'd poured herself into loving him anyway. Raising their two children. Even after the crash three years ago, when she'd pushed Ethan and Julian toward the only exit and s
