1 It was the thirty-eighth time Hudson had brought up divorce for the sake of his first love. Then, I found a pair of matching designer swimsuits he'd bought. Hudson said calmly, "I wanted to surprise you for our anniversary. Since you've seen them, I'll see you at the beach." I arrived at the pier early, but I sat by the shore all night and he never showed up. Pulling out my phone, I saw a post from his first love, Shelby. "Even though we didn't make it to the beach, someone took me on a

Chapter 1 The day my husband helped his cancer-stricken childhood sweetheart lose her virginity, I left the divorce papers on the table and walked out.

1. "Sign it, Elena. You get nothing." Julian slid the divorce papers across the conference table. They stopped right in front of me. He spoke with the same cold detachment he used when closing a business deal. His personal lawyer sat beside him. And next to the lawyer was his new girlfriend, Sienna, her belly already showing a slight curve. Sienna looked at me with the pity of a winner. "Elena, Julian is being generous. The agreement doesn't even make you share the company's debt. Just sign

1 It was our eighth wedding anniversary. I was stuck in the hospital when his gift arrived. It was a plastic rose and a cheap trophy that read 'Best Wife'. I glanced at the crummy black plastic bag holding these pathetic items. Without hesitation, I hit send on the divorce papers I'd been keeping on my phone for so long. A second later, my phone rang. It was the secretary of my husband, Cole. "Mrs. Miller, I'm so sorry. I picked out the gifts myself. I thought it was the thought that cou

On the day I found out my wife was cheating on me, I was getting ready to give her a necklace I had personally designed. When I confronted her, she looked completely unbothered.
