Ten years ago, I gave up a Wall Street career to build a tech company with my husband, Liam Jackson. I thought we had the perfect marriage. I was wrong. It happened during our Q3 board meeting.

Suddenly, the screen flickered. A glitch in the Apple ecosystem.

Chapter 1 of My Husband Poisoned Me to Have a Child with His Mistress

Ten years ago, I gave up a Wall Street career to build a tech company with my husband, Liam Jackson. I thought we had the perfect marriage. I was wrong.

It happened during our Q3 board meeting. I stood at the head of the long glass table. I was presenting our profit margins. The room was quiet except for the hum of the projector. My iPad sat on the podium in front of me.

Suddenly, the screen flickered. A glitch in the Apple ecosystem. A hidden iCloud folder synced to my device right in the middle of my sentence.

I tapped the screen to clear it. Instead, a photo popped up. It filled the entire display.

My breath caught in my throat.

It was Liam. He was smiling. It was a huge, genuine smile I hadn't seen in years. In his arms was a toddler. The little boy had Liam’s exact bright blue eyes. And pressed right against Liam’s side was Daisy Wood.

Daisy was Liam’s former assistant. She looked radiant. She looked like a wife.

A small metadata tag hovered at the bottom of the screen: *Jaiden Jackson, 2 yrs.*

My ears started to ring. My chest felt tight, like someone had parked a truck on my ribs. Ten years of marriage. Ten years of building his tech empire from nothing. And he had a secret two-year-old son.

The board members were looking at me. Waiting.

I didn't scream. I didn't cry. I didn't let my hands shake. I just reached out and flipped the leather cover over the iPad. Snap.

"As you can see from the handouts," I said. My voice was perfectly steady. "Our revenue is up twenty percent."

I finished the presentation. I smiled at the right times. I answered their questions. But inside, everything was turning to ice.

When the meeting ended, I walked to the private elevator. The doors closed. I was finally alone. I flipped the iPad cover open again. I stared at the photo. I memorized every pixel of their happiness.

That night, rain lashed against the floor-to-ceiling windows of our Upper East Side penthouse. The bedroom was dark and cold.

Liam was asleep next to me. His chest rose and fell in a slow, steady rhythm. He looked so peaceful.

I slipped out from under the silk duvet. I didn't make a sound. I reached over to his nightstand and picked up his phone.

His passcode used to be my birthday. He changed it a year ago, claiming it was for corporate security.

I stared at the glowing screen. I typed in four digits. *0914*. The date of our company's IPO. The empire I built for him.

The phone unlocked instantly.

I opened his iMessages. I scrolled down and found a silenced thread with Daisy.

My thumb moved over the screen. I downloaded gigabytes of texts. There were years of them.

*Miss you, baby.*

*Jaiden took his first steps today!*

*Can't wait until we don't have to hide anymore.*

Then I found the money. There were PDF receipts and wire transfer confirmations. Eight figures. He used corporate funds to buy her a luxury penthouse in Tribeca. He used the money I stayed up nights to earn. The money I bled for.

My knuckles turned white as I gripped the phone. A cold fury settled deep in my bones.

I took screenshots of everything. Every text, every photo, every bank transfer. I uploaded all of it to a secure, encrypted cloud drive. I watched the blue progress bar slowly fill up.

*Done.*

I wiped the phone's recent activity. I set it back on the nightstand, exactly where he left it.

I climbed back into bed. I lay down next to the stranger I married. I kept my eyes wide open in the dark. I didn't shed a single tear. I just lay there, perfectly still, and planned his absolute ruin.

The next morning, the sun poured into our kitchen. I stood at the marble island and poured his coffee. Black, two sugars.

Liam walked in. He was wearing his tailored navy suit.

"Morning, Sam," he said cheerfully. He took the mug from my hands. He leaned in and kissed my cheek.

My skin crawled, but I didn't flinch. I smiled thinly. "Morning. Big day today?"

"Just a few meetings," he said. He checked his gold watch. "I might be late tonight. Don't wait up for dinner. I have to review the new merger docs."

*Going to Tribeca,* I thought.

"Okay," I said softly. "Don't work too hard."

I walked him to the foyer. I watched him step into the private elevator. He waved at me. I waved back.

The brass doors slid shut. The quiet hum of the elevator faded away.

The penthouse was completely silent.

I dropped my smile. My face went totally blank. I walked over to the console table and picked up my phone. I dialed my best friend, Karina Roberts.

She answered on the second ring. "Hey, Sam. What's up?"

I looked at my reflection in the hallway mirror. My eyes were cold and hard.

"Karina," I said. My voice was stripped of all emotion. "I need a lawyer."

Betrayed Mate: Choosing True Love Path
My hands trembled as I stood at the edge of the ceremonial circle, watching the other seniors of our pack take their turns. The Coming of Age Ceremony was everything in werewolf society—the moment when our abilities would be fully tested, our ranks determined, our futures set. The scent of pine needles and burning sage filled the night air, and the full moon hung heavy above us, its silver light bathing the clearing in an ethereal glow. Ryan stood across the circle, his dark hair gleaming under the moonlight, those green eyes finding mine with the same reassurance they'd offered since we were pups. My heart fluttered as it always did when he looked at me. We'd been raised with the understanding that we were destined mates—our families had planned it, the pack expected it, and I had built my entire future around it. "Sophia Williams," Elder Marcus called, his Alpha voice resonating through the clearing. I stepped forward, my white ceremonial dress billowing around my ankles. Inside me, my wolf—Sarah—stirred anxiously. *We should show our full strength*, she whispered in my mind.

I Left After My Mate Chose My Sister
I Left After My Mate Chose My Sister
The morning sun filtered through the infirmary windows, casting long shadows across the stone floor. I sat on the edge of the examination table, my fingers nervously twisting the thin cloth of my dress. The Head Healer's face was grave as he studied the scroll in his hands, his eyes darting between the parchment and the strange device he'd used to measure my aura. "Tessa Meyer," he said finally, his voice carrying the weight of decades of practice. "I've completed your pre-mating examination." Something in his tone made my heart stutter. I'd expected the usual clearance, the standard blessing before tomorrow's ceremony with Max. Instead, I saw the deep furrows of concern etched into his weathered face. "What's wrong?" I asked, though part of me already knew I didn't want the answer. He set the scroll down carefully, as if it contained something fragile and dangerous. "Your aura readings indicate a condition we call Wolfsbane Rot." The words hung in the air between us, heavy and suffocating.
Just like the evening breeze leaves no trace
Just like the evening breeze leaves no trace
Chapter 1 It was their seventh wedding anniversary. Carolyn found the divorce agreement in Roger’s nightstand. The pages were covered in scribbles and corrections, as if he’d agonized over them for years. *"If, during the marriage, I fall in love with another person, I voluntarily relinquish all assets and leave with nothing. Asset details as follows…"* His first impulse had been to walk away empty-handed. But the asset section told a different story—a mess of revisions. First, he’d crossed out the property he intended to give her. Then, the fifty million earmarked for her was scratched out and replaced with five hundred thousand. Finally, as if in penance, he had written a single line. *"Better to have Carolyn leave with nothing. No choice, Catherine is pregnant."* … Carolyn sank onto the bed, disbelief washing over her. On the agreement, Roger’s signature was clean and decisive, without a hint of hesitation. And the document had been drafted seven years ago—the very year they married. That year, Roger had been willing to give up everything for her. Yet every year after, he had crossed out another piece of their shared life. Now, seven years later, the one leaving with nothing would be her. Her phone buzzed abruptly. A message from Roger. *"Urgent business. Won't be back."* She called, only to find his phone already switched off. Another notification flashed—a screenshot from a friend. Catherine, the student she sponsored, had posted on social media. *"Wow, got praised! To commemorate my first period without a leak, the big boss said we should celebrate properly!"* In a nine-photo collage, Roger gazed at her, eyes crinkling with affection as he fastened a dazzling gemstone necklace around her neck. The post was tagged at a couples-themed hotel. Carolyn’s breath caught. He couldn’t remember seven years of marriage, of weathering storms together—but he could find the energy to celebrate Catherine’s… leak-free period. And that pendant… she’d seen it at an auction just last week. It was her mother’s lost heirloom. She’d been ready to bid when her bank card was frozen. She’d asked Roger why. A long time later, he finally texted back, telling her not to waste money on such impractical things. Clutching her bidding paddle, she’d sat helplessly in the auction hall. In the end, she resolved to sell one of her own designs to raise the funds. But someone on the phone swooped in with an unbeatable offer and took it. For weeks afterward, Carolyn hated herself—hated that she couldn’t protect her mother’s last keepsake. She never imagined the one who snatched it away was Roger. He knew exactly how much that pendant meant to her. Yet he gave it to Catherine. Even on their seventh anniversary, Roger had lied about being busy with work, while wining and dining the girl she’d sponsored. The anniversary gift he left her was a divorce agreement demanding she leave with nothing. Seven years of marriage. Seven years of infidelity. And Carolyn had known nothing. She’d even introduced the other woman to him herself. Catherine was the impoverished student Carolyn sponsored. The first time Catherine came to their home to give thanks, Roger found her intrusive and disliked her on sight. *"That girl has no manners. Tracked mud all over my cashmere rug."* *"If her grades aren’t up to par, cut the sponsorship."* Back then, Carolyn had teased him, saying not to be jealous—it was good the girl had a grateful heart. She never once suspected Roger and Catherine. For seven years, everyone in their circle believed Roger never played around. That he loved only Carolyn. But by their next meeting, Catherine had become Roger’s personal assistant. Roger explained, *"The girl’s had it tough. You’ve sponsored her for years. Giving her a job is just helping you out."* Carolyn had laughed it off. Now, hands trembling, she opened Catherine’s social media feed. Catherine had always hidden her posts from Carolyn. Now, she seemed desperate to flaunt everything. While Carolyn drank until her stomach bled to secure a deal for Roger, Catherine was using Roger’s card to buy her first Louis Vuitton. While Carolyn changed bedpans for Roger’s bedridden grandmother, Roger was taking Catherine to a perfume atelier for a blending class—calling it a business trip. Catherine had even complained online. *"Your wife is such a pampered princess. Can't handle the tiniest thing without you running back. Can she not live without a man?"* And Roger had replied beneath it. *"If she were half as independent as you, I’d have an easier life."* But that day… Carolyn’s mother had lost her battle with cancer. She’d cried until her heart felt shredded, scrambling to handle the arrangements. All the while, Roger kept checking his phone impatiently, eager to leave. Not for work, she realized now—but because he was desperate to get back to Catherine.
