Chapter 1
Avery
MONDAY. 9 AM.
I smiled happily, looking at the doctor even though I'm yet to be sure of what report I'll be getting from him but I do hope for good news.
That's why I'm keeping my smile uptight and not trying to let anything spoil my mood, just then, he broke into a smile and handed me the report.
"Congratulations Mrs Brandon, you are four weeks pregnant." I couldn't stop myself from crying, this was what we had been hoping for for the 2 years we've been married.
Even though we started off as not so much of an in love couple but we started to navigate our feelings towards each other as time went on.
You guessed right, it was a forced marriage but we were able to get past the hard phase.
I thanked the doctor before leaving his office while swinging my small purse left and right happily.
I stopped placing my hand slowly on my tummy, "Mummy is going to give you the best life you'll ever dream of and guess what, daddy is going to be extremely happy to hear about you." I breathed in before stepping out of the hospital door.
My driver parked in front of me and I got into the back seat of the car after smiling at him. two years since our marriage and we've both learned to love each other.
Even though we didn't start on a good level, we hope for the best time together.
I'm Avery Brown, first most rated beautiful lady in Florida, I'm married to Scott Brandon, it's been just the best.
I have a younger sister and an adopted younger sister, you can guess the rest yourself.
The car stopped pulling over at the mansion as the driver came to open the door for me, "Thanks." I thanked him as I got out walking towards the house.
As I walked in, I noticed the tension in the room but ignored it before walking closer to Scott who was beside a lady staring at each other.
At first the lady seemed to be familiar to me but I couldn't remember where I had known her so I brushed it off and rushed to hug him.
"Husband." I pouted but he disengaged the hug from me, the lady went beside him and I frowned at her seductive attitude.
"Can you at least give him breathing space?" She scoffed and gave him a document. He looked at me then looked at her before holding it up, I could see the front writing and I knew it was a divorce paper.
"Is it her or me? You have to choose." She said, I stared at Scott in shock trying to comprehend whatever was happening but I couldn't find a suitable word for my shock.
Scott turned to me, I was happy he's choosing me. I don't want to know who she was but at least I'm glad he chose me over her.
He stretched out the divorce paper to me, "Sign it." He breathed out which left me in shock.
This couldn't possibly be the guy that has been fully responsible and caring to me for a year. Yes, for the first year, it was hell and I prayed desperately every single day for a divorce but not anymore.
I thought we were starting to understand each other, "What do you mean, Scott?" I asked him not to believe what he just said.
"I mean you should sign the divorce paper, I'm divorcing you." It was like my worst nightmare came true, my dream came crumbling down as my purse fell down from my hand.
"Divorce?" The first thought on my mind, no, not possible.
"Have I done something wrong? Scott I know this all must be a joke." I moved closer to him desperately ignoring the lady beside him, I climbed on his hands with tears trickling down my cheeks.
He snatched off his hands from mine, without hesitation, he repeated those words but now more commanding, "I don't want to repeat the words Avery, sign the document, or I won't be nice.."
"You should stop trying to be so self righteous now. You promised me a year ago that if the right owner of the position you held right now comes back then you'll step down for her, that was why we were able to hold on for so long.."
That was the most shocking thing I've ever heard from him. I know he never really cared about anyone most especially me when we first got married but he has never acted so cold to me before.
At least, for the first year that we weren't communicating, he never acted so cold or ever did anything to make me feel wrong, never.
"What are you talking about Scott? I've never promised you anything like..." He interrupted me from speaking. Gently holding her hands, he was looking at her so affectionately.
"This is Ella , I'm sure you'll have found out about her already. She's carrying my child now. I'm not going to disgrace you so leave while I'm still nice." He said and turned back leaving without looking back at me.
I staggered back in shock, does he mean he has never felt a bit of love or emotion towards me during the two years we were together. Does he just see me as a stumbling stone to his former relationship?
I never asked for anything more than him loving me back. That was the only thing that I asked for when we decided to let go of the past and move on with our lives. I stood up trying to go after him but was stopped by Ella, I glared at her in pure hatred.
She was the reason I was in this mess to begin with, she broke up with him because she heard King was already engaged since birth and the marriage was set up by his grandfather so it couldn't be canceled. He asked him to marry me or no one else and he believed if I hadn't appeared, then she wouldn't have left him.
That was the main reason he didn't want to see any sight of me during our first one year marriage, because I reminded him of his tragedy in a relationship.
I stumbled backwards in shock, unable to believe what I just heard. I could have easily accepted anything else but he said she's pregnant for him, she's carrying his child.
My tears dropped without no control as I cried out in agony. I knew already that I loved him but I kept it a secret to promote the peace we both had. I just wanted him around.
"Step out of my way." I said calmly trying to suppress my emotions. She crossed her hands together and smirked.
"What do you think? He chose me over you finally. It must have been because of the old fool that he reluctantly accepted the marriage offer, did you ever think if the old man dies today, he wouldn't divorce you." I sighed out.
Everything she was saying was out of my concern, I just wanted to know if he ever felt anything different about me, if he never for once viewed me differently.
"Everything you are saying is less a bit of my concern, I just want him to say it to me himself, that he never loved me, that's all." I said to her and glared before proceeding.
Just as I was about to pass beside her, she fell down, her eyes wobbling with tears threatening to pour out. Now what?
I tried helping her out when King came out, pushing me away from her as he helped her up. Her tears were now pouring out.
"You really wouldn't stop at nothing huh?" He shouts at me, I could visibly see his irritated expression on his face, he had this angry tone when he spoke out.
"I... what have I done wrong?" I was speechless asking this but at the same time confused. Ella gently placed her head on his chest before speaking up.
"It wasn't her fault babe, she told me to get out of the way for her but I didn't because I was worried she might threaten you, I didn't expect her to push me down." She faked out her tears.
"You bitch." I was totally angry, I accept if she had come to snatch my husband but I didn't expect her to be so cunning.
"You were clearly the one trying to get me worked up but I didn't say anything, you said if it wasn't because of his father forcing him to accept my marriage with him, he'll never accept my marriage, you were clearly the one trying to provoke me here but I never did anything to you.."
"I just wanted to pass your side when you fell." I faced Scott hoping he'd say something for me. "Scott, you know me, I'll never try to harm her, I don't have any reason to do that.."
"You do have every reason to harm me, I'm destroying your marriage and now I'm pregnant with his child. You hate me, I never wanted to make you both divorced, I just wanted to be with Scott, that was all I asked for.."
His expression, I know it. He didn't believe me. He chose to believe her over me. He faced sideways before saying, "Leave." He dropped the document in front of me and no doubt it'll be a divorce settlement he drafted again.
I had torn off the first one and didn't expect him to draft another one so quickly, was he really so eager to divorce me?.
Slowly taking the document, I read the details and scoffed out in tears. "You think I need your money or anything?" I signed the paper and turned back without looking back, "I really hope one day when you realize what you've done, it won't be too late.."
I didn't need to tell him about my pregnancy because I don't see any reason to, he doesn't deserve to be the father of my baby.

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 Never Loved Me, Until I Left
I put away the divorce agreement with a wry smile.
When he and my son completely disappeared, he finally panicked.
Three months later .
He knelt down on the streets of Chicago in despair, begging me to remarry him.
My six-year-old son looked coldly at his biological father and said, "Get lost, you bad uncle! You don't deserve to be my dad!"
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.

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."

Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
