Chapter 1
"What do you possibly mean by that?" Jessica asked. She has been arguing in front of the courthouse over the phone for the last ten minutes.
Today was her wedding day. She and her high school sweetheart Burke were supposed to meet up here by ten thirty am to have their wedding.
"Burke, it is ten forty-five am, where are you?" she asked, her voice shaky.
"Jessica, I won't be coming today," Burke said.
"What do you mean by that? We are to get married today," she said again. This time she felt something trickling down her eyes. She sniffled to drive away the tears so her makeup didn't get ruined.
"Jessica, I don't think I love you enough to want to get married to you and live together in the same house," he said. She felt her heart sank.
They had been planning the wedding together ever since he popped the question. He knew of her dream of getting married and living in a house that had a yard for the kids to play in. He had no house with a yard, but they planned to get one.
"I won't force you to get a house with a yard," she said. Probably the financial burden was getting too much for him. The reason for the low-key wedding was finances. They were both not rich, but if they joined hands together, they could live comfortably.
Because they were both orphans, they had no one to invite to the private wedding. They planned to do a private wedding and tell their friends later.
"Burke, honey, aren't you going to join me?" a voice echoed from inside the room. Jessica knew that the voice sounded familiar she just couldn't place it at the moment.
"Who is that?" Jessica said in a muffled scream.
"Are you beginning to hear things?" Burke asked her.
Jessica knew quite all right that she heard a familiar voice. She knew that voice. That was her best friend's voice.
"Is that Emma?" she asked, this time tears falling from the second eye.
"Why would Emma be here?" Burke asked.
Jessica had always been suspicious of her friend and her boyfriend and finally, the suspicions were proving to be true.
"Jessica, go home and I would come to meet you at night," he said.
"I would wait here till you get here," Jessica said. Her voice was pleading. "I would forgive you even if you cheated on me. Please, just come over do not embarrass me," she added begging.
"Okay, yes Emma is here and you know what Jessica it is over between us. I can't marry you or stay with you. Let's just break up here," he said.
"No please," Jessica begged her face now drenched with tears. Her pleas were met with empty silence. Burke had cut off the call.
Jessica yanked the phone from her ears and decided to call again, but she now discovered it wasn't going through. Burke had blocked her line.
She squatted right at the front of the courthouse. She did not care if people were watching her. She just had her heart yanked out and broken into several pieces and handed to her.
She cried her eyes out but couldn't help but overhear the conversation of the man who was standing less than a foot away from her.
"I thought you said she would be here on time?" Xavier shouted over the phone to his assistant, Brian.
The doctors had told him that his grandfather had barely two weeks left. Xavier had lied to his grandfather that he had a girlfriend.
His grandfather had said that the girlfriend be wedded and presented to him before he died so he could transfer the company out of a management specialist to his name.
His grandfather knew what a responsible man Xavier was, but he feared that if he left the world Xavier would be all alone and later the company would leave the Delgado household.
Dawson (Xavier's grandfather) decides that instead of Xavier giving up the company in the long run, he would be the one to leave the company in the hands of those who can manage.
It would make him roll on his grave if Xavier gave up on his hard work and sweat. He rather does it for himself.
Xavier knew he owed it to his grandfather. When his parents died in a ghastly motor accident that claimed their lives, he had been living with his grandfather, who did everything to take care of him.
He wanted the business to remain in the household, and this pushed him to get married. His assistant Brian had told him of a contract marriage service where you pay to have a wife for some time.
He had done ahead to sign a contract with a random woman from the service for a year. She was to get married to him with no attached strings and then get divorced amicably after a year.
Xavier was in front of the courthouse, but the random woman was now nowhere to be found. He was confused and pissed off at the time-wasting. He needed to take his new wife to his grandfather today. He looked at his watch and sighed in annoyance.
"I'm sorry, sir. Let me try to reach her again," Brian said, cutting off the call.
"What a waste of my precious time," Xavier sighed out loud and annoyed. He hated time waster and he could not believe that the girl had gone MIA after receiving a part payment for the contract.
The phone rang, and he paid no second before picking up the call.
"And?" he barked at his secretary.
"Her company is unable to get a hold of her," Brian responded.
"She is currently unreachable. Why don't you come back and let's reschedule with the company? They would send us someone else," Brian said. He was lucky he already had a good rapport with his boss or else he would have peed himself already.
"I am not going to be leaving this place without a marriage certificate," Xavier replied. He was not intentionally mounting pressure on his assistant. He just needed results immediately.
"I'll marry you," Xavier heard. He turned to see a beautiful woman with black running eyes. He looked at her and thought why she would be doing this to a stranger.
"I will marry you," Jessica said again.

On this day, I lost my husband and also lost the child in my womb...
I Loved You in Silence, You Betrayed Me in French
At my birthday party, my husband whispered to his mistress in French that he missed her. His voice was low, but I heard it all—the black lingerie, the bit about how pregnancy makes you more sensitive. His French clients around us were laughing. He turned and put his arm around me, claiming he was just helping his clients come up with sweet nothings.
He doesn't know I understand every single word. Just like he doesn't know that inside my body, I'm carrying his other surprise. And his mistress—she's pregnant too. Two wombs, one secret.
Confrontation would be too cheap. Tears are worthless. I quietly started cataloging the hidden networks my father left behind, activating the Swiss accounts.
In seven days, Zoey Smith will cease to exist. And what will my husband's reaction be?
When I Disappeared, He Regretted It
The moment the screen lit up, my entire world came crashing down.
The woman on the bed was Calista - that girl who grew up with us since we were kids. And that hand caressing her skin was wearing the wedding ring I had personally put on Matteo's finger.
"I've missed you so much..."
"You drive me crazy, baby..."
Those sweet words I knew so well completely destroyed me.
Everyone said we were the perfect couple, but who knew this marriage was built on nothing but lies?
Since he's so good at acting, I guess it's time I gave him a show of my own. I'm going to make sure everyone sees what this "perfect husband" really is...
He Thought I'd Never Leave
When he said he was being bullied, I believed him. When he kissed me on that rooftop, I thought he felt the same. When he asked me to transfer schools with him, I said yes without hesitation.
Then I heard him bragging to his friends: "She'd save her first time for me. Hell, she'd still be thinking of me on her wedding night."
The bullying was staged. The kiss meant nothing. He just wanted me gone—so his new girl could feel more comfortable.
He thought I'd beg. He thought I'd cry. He thought I'd never actually leave.
I left the country.
And ran straight into his stepbrother.
I Died While They Threw Her a Party
Their real daughter came home. She'd only been back two years. That's all it took to erase twenty-four.
When kidnappers grabbed us, I used my body as a shield. They beat me until something inside me ruptured. I was dying from internal bleeding, but no one could tell.
My parents wouldn't even look at me. "This is your fault! None of this would've happened if it weren't for you!"
"Get downstairs and apologize to your sister. If you can't, pack your things and get out."
They threw her a party at a downtown hotel while I died alone in my room.
I thought they'd be relieved. Maybe even glad. I thought they'd just move on like I never existed.
But when they finally learned the truth, they fell apart.
Bury Me in His Regret
The kidnapper pressed the gun to my temple and asked, "Choose your wife or your sister-in-law?"
Zachary didn't hesitate. "Let Valerie go," he said.
He actually chose to save his sister-in-law! In that moment, even the baby in my belly seemed to stop kicking.
Later, they locked me in the basement. Drugs to delay labor were pumped into my veins over and over. Zachary wanted to save the "firstborn son" status for his sister-in-law's child.
When warm blood finally soaked through my skirt, I dialed the number I knew by heart with shaking hands.
"Zachary," I whispered into the phone, "our child... can't wait any longer."
The Kidney That Killed Me
A few months ago, my sister was hospitalized with kidney failure. The doctor said she needed a transplant. My family's first thought was me—the backup daughter they'd kept around all these years.
When my husband Allen took my hand with tears in his eyes and said, "Only you can save her," I agreed without hesitation.
When the doctor explained the surgical risks and potential complications, I smiled and nodded my understanding.
My parents said I'd finally learned what sisterly love meant.
Even Allen, who'd always been cold to me, held my hand gently and said, "The surgery's safe. You're so healthy, nothing will go wrong. When you recover, I'll take you to Hawaii."
But they don't know that no matter how the surgery goes, I won't be around to celebrate.
Because I just got my own test results—I have terminal brain cancer. I'm going to die anyway.

Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

She shoved me again. Harder.
"Maybe if you weren't such a desperate little—"
I fell. My head cracked against the corner.
Warmth trickled down my neck. Blood.
Their laughter turned to gasps.
The door slammed.
