The CEO & his wife and lover

Lily sat at the edge of her bed, the crisp white sheets feeling cold beneath her trembling fingers. Her eyes were fixed on the small, intricately designed golden band now resting in the palm of her hand. Each curve and groove of the ring carried memories of a love once cherished, now tainted by the harsh reality she had unearthed. How did she let it get this far? The weight of her actions bore down on her, suffocating regret wrapping its icy fingers around her heart like a vice. When she first laid eyes on James, the sheer magnetism of his presence had been a siren song she couldn't ignore. The palpable chemistry between them had ignited a flame long extinguished in her marriage to Mark, pulling her into a whirlwind of emotions she had long forgotten. Her confession rang through the room, shattering the fragile veneer of her life and propelling her towards an uncertain future. A serendipitous twist of fate led her to the lavish gala where Mark presided, the CEO of a prestigious company whose wealth and power loomed over the room. The sight of him sent shards of guilt and realization piercing through her soul - a stark reminder that her past and present stood on the precipice of collision. Caught between the man she once loved and the one who ignited a long-dormant passion within her, Lily's world teetered on the edge of chaos. As the days melded into a blur of unanswered calls and silent pleas, echoes of her decision reverberated through her fractured relationships. Mark's betrayal, a mirror to her own infidelity, left her grappling with the repercussions of her choices. The once steady pillars of her life crumbled like sandcastles, leaving her adrift in a sea of uncertainty. The gravity of her actions bore down on her, threatening to pull her into the abyss of despair. In a cruel twist of fate, James's past resurfaced, shattering the illusion of perfection she had woven around him. His secrets unfurled like venomous tendrils, poisoning the well of their love and leaving her disillusioned and broken. The void that yawned before her seemed insurmountable, the shards of her shattered heart cutting deep as she faced the harsh reality of her mistakes. Amidst the shards of her fractured life, Lily found a glimmer of strength within herself - a resilience born of chaos and pain. The shattered pieces began to realign, forming a new mosaic of forgiveness and self-discovery. Through tear-streaked eyes, she confronted her past, making peace with her missteps and embracing the journey of healing that lay before her. Gathering the remnants of her shattered self, Lily stood before Mark, her voice steady and resolute. In the quiet hum of understanding that passed between them, forgiveness bloomed like a fragile flower in the aftermath of a storm. Together, they charted a new path, one built on the bedrock of honesty and vulnerability. As the first light of dawn broke over the horizon, a sense of renewal washed over Lily, filling the crevices of her wounded heart with hope and a newfound sense of purpose.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.

My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"

It took only a second for a person's world to come crashing down. This was what happened in Hannah's case. For four years, she gave her husband her all, but one day, he said emotionlessly, "Let's get divorced." Hannah's heart broke into a million pieces as she signed the divorce papers, marking the end of her role as a devoted wife. Within Hannah, a strong woman awakened, vowing never to be beholden to any man again. Embracing her new life, she embarked on a journey to find herself and command her own destiny. By the time she returned, she had experienced so much growth and was now completely different from the docile wife everyone once knew. "Is this your latest trick to get my attention?" Hannah's ever-so-arrogant husband asked. Before she could retort, a handsome and domineering CEO pulled her into his embrace. He smiled down at her and said boldly to her ex, "Just a little heads-up, mister. This is my beloved wife. Keep off!"

It culminated in the bankruptcy of her family, and ultimately, her death. After being reborn, she resolved to seek retribution against those who had wronged her, and ensure her family's prosperity. To her shock, the most unattainable man from her past suddenly set his sights on her. "You may have overlooked me before, but I shall capture your heart this time around."

“You need a bride, I need a groom. Why don’t we get married?” Both abandoned at the altar, Elyse decided to tie the knot with the disabled stranger from the venue next door. Pitying his state, she vowed to spoil him once they were married. Little did she know that he was actually a powerful tycoon.
