Unwanted Wife's Ultimate Vengeance

I married Edwardo Steele out of a debt of honor, secretly loving the man who treated me like a contaminant. For three years, he weaponized his severe OCD against me, recoiling from my touch while I walked on eggshells in our cold, sterile mansion. My foolish hope for love died the night I saw him at a hotel fire, holding his mistress, Cassie, with a tenderness I had never known. He didn't just cheat; he destroyed me. He framed my brother, leaving him permanently disabled, all to protect her. Then, at Cassie's birthday party, he played our private video for everyone to see, a final, public humiliation. The man I sacrificed everything for had chosen a liar over me, and I was left with nothing but shame and a broken family. But in the depths of my despair, I discovered two things. First, I was pregnant with his child. Second, my brother had found a secret that could bring Edwardo's empire to its knees. I made an appointment to end the pregnancy. Then, I planned to use that secret to end my marriage.

Chapters

Chapter 12

Edwardo' s breath hitched, a sharp, choked sound. His heart, which had been a frantic drumbeat in his chest, plummeted to his stomach. Divorce. It was real. She had done it.

A bitter, humorless laugh escaped his lips. "Playing games, Blair?" he muttered, his voice hoarse. He crushed the divorce decree in his hand, the crisp paper crinkling under his furious grip. She thinks I'll be upset? She thinks I'll care? He tried to convince himself that this was a victory. This was what he wanted, wasn't it? Freedom from the burden, the constant reminder of his supposed failure.

But the triumph he expected never came. Instead, a wave of incandescent rage, hotter and more terrifying than any he had ever known, washed over him. He wasn't happy. He was furious. Furious that she had made this decision without him. Furious that she had actually left.

He slammed his fist onto his desk, the sound echoing through the opulent office. "She thinks she can just leave?" he snarled, his eyes blazing. "She thinks she can just divorce me and walk away?"

He snatched up his phone, his fingers trembling. He called his lawyer, Mr. Henderson, his voice tight with suppressed fury. "Henderson, what is the penalty for forging legal documents?"

Henderson, sounding groggy, mumbled, "Mr. Steele? Forging what exactly?"

"A divorce decree! My divorce decree!" Edwardo roared. "Blair sent me one! She thinks she's divorced me!"

A pause on the other end of the line. Then, Henderson's calm, professional voice. "Mr. Steele, as per your instructions, the divorce was finalized several days ago. You yourself gave the orders. The papers were signed by both parties and duly filed with the court."

Edwardo felt as if the air had been punched out of him. His mind reeled. "No! I never signed anything! Not the final decree!"

"Sir, you did," Henderson insisted, his voice firm. "You signed a comprehensive agreement, transferring your shares in Moreno Corp. and agreeing to the divorce terms, in exchange for Ms. Shields' charges being dropped. Your signature, your official seal, it was all there. I personally witnessed it."

"My… my seal?" Edwardo stammered, his mind racing. He hadn't used his personal seal in years. He was too meticulous, too paranoid about contamination. He never let anyone touch it.

"Yes, Mr. Steele. I'll send you a copy of the signature page with the official seal, for your records."

A moment later, his phone buzzed. A picture. His signature. His seal. It was undeniably his. But he remembered nothing of signing the final decree. He had signed the initial agreement, yes, the one about the shares and Ben. But the divorce decree? He racked his brain, but the memory was a blank.

A cold, sickening suspicion began to crawl into his mind. Cassie. She had been with him during that chaotic period. She had access. She was manipulative. She had wanted him free. Truly free.

Just then, the door to his office swung open again. Cassie, her face radiant, adorned with a new, sparkling necklace, sauntered in. She saw the crushed divorce decree on his desk. Her eyes lit up with a triumphant, almost giddy glee.

"Edwardo! Darling! What's this?" She picked up the crumpled paper, smoothing it out. "Oh! It's the divorce papers! Finally! We're officially free!" She clapped her hands, her excitement palpable. "This calls for a celebration! Now we can finally announce our engagement! Get married! Be a real family!" She flung her arms around him, pressing a passionate kiss to his lips.

Edwardo recoiled as if burned. He pushed her away, his eyes fixed on her face, searching for something, anything. "Cassie," he said, his voice dangerously low. "Did you… did you use my seal? Did you forge my signature on these papers?"

Her cheerful demeanor instantly evaporated. Her eyes widened, a flicker of panic in their depths. "What? Of course not, Edwardo! Why would I do that? I love you! I want to marry you!" Her voice was shrill, laced with feigned innocence. "Blair is just trying to cause trouble again! She probably forged it herself!"

He stared at her, his gaze cold and calculating. The genuine surprise, the quick denial, the immediate deflection to Blair. It was too practiced. Too perfect. He saw the lies now, clear as day. He finally saw her.

"Let's get married, Edwardo!" she chirped, oblivious to the storm brewing in his eyes. "We can have the most fabulous wedding! And then, we can have a baby! A little Edwardo junior!" She pressed against him, her body soft and yielding.

He took a step back, his face a mask of revulsion. He saw the greed in her eyes, the calculating ambition behind her smile. He saw the manipulative puppet master he had so foolishly adored. He saw the contaminant. And this time, it was her.

For ten years, I disguised myself as my dead twin brother, fighting bloody mob wars to build the Falcone family's bootlegging empire. When the war ended, I thought I could finally take off the men's suits and be Anya again. Instead, my parents stole my victories to secure my father's power, demanding I disappear forever. When I tried to expose the truth, my family dragged me into a soundproof basement. My younger brother forced a metal funnel past my teeth and poured corrosive chemicals down my throat, dissolving my vocal cords into a blistered ruin. They chained me to a freezing pier, whipped me bloody, and let the men I used to lead spit on me as a jealous traitor. Then, under the guise of a family reconciliation dinner, my mother drugged my wine. While I lay paralyzed but fully conscious on my bed, my brother took heavy iron pliers and crushed all ten of my fingers, bone by bone. They wanted to ensure I could never hold a gun or write the truth again. I had slaughtered for them, bled for them, and craved only their love. In return, they pulverized my body and painted me as a hysterical madwoman just to keep the crown I had won for them. The foolish girl who wanted a family died in that agonizing pain, leaving behind only a ghost. Dragging my mangled, bandaged body into the rival Romano family's charity gala, I collapsed at the feet of their ruthless matriarch. "I invoke the sacred code," I rasped through my chemically burned throat. "I demand a Vendetta."

The last thing I remembered was the blinding flash of my starship crashing. But instead of a rescue crew, I woke up tied to a wooden post, surrounded by hostile beastmen. My universal translator kicked in just in time to hear their priestess, Chelsea, declare that I was a cursed demon who ruined their hunt. To save the clan from winter starvation, I was to be burned alive. The flames were already blistering my legs, and jagged stones hurled by the crowd gashed my forehead. I barely negotiated a three-day reprieve to find them food, venturing into the deadly primeval forest. I found a massive supply of wild potatoes and even gained the protection of Bronson, a terrifyingly powerful saber-toothed tiger beastman. But Chelsea wouldn't stop. She labeled my food as poisonous, tried to sentence me to starve in a penitent's cave, and when my agricultural knowledge proved her wrong, she invoked an ancient law. She incited the tribe's savage warriors to fight over me, turning me into breeding property. I was a scientist offering them endless food, yet their primitive ignorance and one woman's vicious jealousy kept pushing me toward a brutal end. I was terrified, completely powerless against their monstrous physical strength. As five ruthless challengers drew their bone axes to claim me, I begged Bronson to leave me and run. Instead, he pulled me against his scarred chest and kissed me fiercely in front of the entire clan. "She is my mate," he roared, unleashing a soul-crushing aura. "Anyone who wants her, come at me together."

But in the end, it was my perfect fiancé, Julian, and my sweet half-sister, Sophia, who slipped the deadly poison into my wine. As the venom burned through my veins in that freezing cellar, I watched Julian smile. He and Sophia had orchestrated my brutal death.

My own father used me as a political pawn, letting them throw me away like garbage. And Damien? The monster I had fought and despised for years marched straight into a suicide ambush for me.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.

Reborn Queen: The Billionaire's Dangerous Asset

I died as the "Queen," an elite assassin who leveled criminal syndicates, only to wake up in a damp trailer smelling of rot and stale tobacco. My new body belonged to Arleen Brewer, a malnourished teenager with a failing heart and a life defined by systemic poverty. A flickering blue light in my mind identified itself as a System, offering a devil's bargain: survive this life, and I could resurrect my dead brother, Dusty. To earn his return, I had to endure my alcoholic stepfather’s rage and a body so weak it struggled to even stand. At my elite prep school, the rich kids treated me like a walking corpse, covering my desk in trash and mocking my heart condition. Even my fiancé, Shen Wenyu, publicly branded me as "unstable" and stood by while the school's golden boy tried to humiliate me. They expected me to wither away, but they didn't realize a wolf was now wearing the sheep's skin. I shattered the bully’s nose with a metal tray and tore up my engagement contract in front of a stunned auditorium, only to be met with immediate threats of lawsuits and expulsion. I didn't understand how the original Arleen survived this suffocating injustice without breaking, but as the Queen, I was ready to turn this school into a war zone. Then Hale Clemons, the most dangerous man in the city, cornered me outside the principal's office. He saw through my mask, realizing his very presence was the only thing keeping my failing heart from stopping. "I’m not buying your loyalty," he said, handing me a gold-embossed card. "I’m investing in a weapon." I took the deal, ready to use his power to bring my brother back and bury everyone who ever looked down on Arleen Brewer.
