The Duplicate Wife

"◐prologue◑" "Please, you should only love me," I cried as I told my husband that he never considered me as his wife since he had an accident. I'm the only one fighting this marriage even though I'm having a hard time with him. "Why can't you understand I don't love you! he shouted loudly while looking at me evilly. He always pressured me to sign the divorce paper so that our marriage would be void "Why? because of Margarette?yes because of her.cause I really love her that's why I'm willing to marry her once we divorce so please sign this paper so I can marry the woman I love, he told me emphatically as his jaw tensed and his eyes glistened. "No! I won't sign that fu*cking divorce paper!" I screamed while the pain in my chest was exploding because he made me look like I don't have any love left. Why doesn't he feel that way in his heart that I should be? WHY!!! "Renz, how long will I endure the pain? How long will you learn to love me again? when I'm dead? is that really what you want to happen?. "I'm your wife, so I'm the one you should love. I've done everything for you to love me again. I understand you because you have amnesia even though the pain is here", I pointed to the chest where my heart is. "I want to give up, but I just want to think about losing you here." "You really loved me when you didn't get amnesia but it's just a pain because I'm your husband but you forgot me, is that how you love?". "While the woman who betrayed you made you forget and even worse, you forgot how she cheated on you. How she kept you secret".. "Renz I'm so tired for being a martyr because of you, I cried, I looked at him, there were tears in his left eye and an emotion came through, but it disappeared immediately and it's cold to look at me. "Eunice stop this bullsh*t," she shouted while tugging her hair. "Please renz remember me how you love me how you treat me like a queen the kind you can't see me getting hurt because that's how I met renz who didn't want to see me hurt. but everything has changed when you had an accident. i love you so much please remember me my husband". I approached him but he pushed me hard so I sat down and hit my hip on the table. I giggled in pain. He stood up and left me alone here on the floor in tears. while begging him... "It's always like this, can I handle it?

Teaser: "Why? Why did you do this to me?" I asked hesitantly. As I slowly sat down on the floor, my chest was heaving. my vision is getting blurry because of the river of tears flowing from my eyes. I looked at two people important to me, who were in the same bed and naked. I can't believe they did this to me. "Elle, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to." cried the woman I cherished. The girl I idolize because of her kindness. The only girl who accepted me as a family. The girl I love the most. I moved my eyes to him. I looked at him pleadingly. "Unintentional? how did you not mean it? How did you two end up there if you don't know what you're doing?" My voice was weak as I said those words. "When is this? Didn't I ask you if you know my husband's relationship? Didn't you tell me you would help me find out who his girl is? And then now? I just knew that you are his mistress? That you are one of my husband's whores. You're a slut. A lowly and cheap slut." I was silent as I told him. "How can you do this to me? you're the true definition of bitch---" I was cut off when Nathan, my husband, suddenly shouted. "ENOUGH ELLESA. WE BOTH KNOW FROM THE START THAT YOU ARE THE ONE WHO WANT THIS FUCKING MARRIAGE. DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT TO KELLEY, BECAUSE YOU ARE THE REAL DISPERADA HERE." Nathan yelled angrily. His mestizo face was red. I was stunned by what he said. I was about to say a word but he spoke first. "And to tell you honestly, I love her. Only her. then until now." His word broke my heart into zillion pieces. His words caused pain and agony. I fumble for words. As my tears continue to flow. I dared to look straight into his eyes that were red with anger. "I gave you everything, Nate, even my body. There's nothing left. Is it still missing? Yes, I know I was desperate when it came to you. Know why? Because I love you. I love you Nate, ever since then. But have you ever did you see it? Did you ever reciprocate it?--- " I was sobbing hard. i even stopped because of the lump in my throat. My chest is also tight. "Nate, did you ever love me when we were married?" I asked bravely. As my tears began to flow. "No." He answered firmly. Now I get the point. No one loves me. no one was there when I needed help. Even my beloved big sister, don't really love me. My husband and my big sister cheated on me. I quickly left Ate's condo. Many questions are bothering my mind, I don't know where to go, what to do now. I only feel one thing. pain

Prologue My hand was shaking as I left the bathroom. I hid the Pregnancy Test in the pocket of my pants before leaving the room. As usual, I'm the only one here in our huge house. I sat on the sofa and stopped the sobs that I had been holding in for a while. I took the pt out of my pocket and two red lines were revealed to me. *thud!* I immediately turned to face the door as it opened violently. My husband entered as if a woman was there. nothing but its attachment. But in this household, I look like a fixture. "A-ahh Ki-Kione. A-you're here" I said and stood up. He just stared at me blankly and he moved his eyes to the girl with him. "Let's go baby.we're just wasting time her" he said coldly and led the woman into his room. I immediately smiled brightly and wiped my runaway tears. I went to the garage and got into my car. I immediately turned it on and I just drove by drive. i want to go away especially now that we have children. I know he doesn't care about it. He despises me a lot. And I cannot bare to see my soon to be child being miserable because his/her dad hates his/her mom a lot. I don't want to hurt it. I'm a bitch, just don't let him.

Maia grew up a pampered heiress-until the real daughter returned and framed her, sending Maia to prison with help from her fiancé and family. Four years later, free and married to Chris, a notorious outcast, everyone assumed Maia was finished. They soon discovered she was secretly a famed jeweler, elite hacker, celebrity chef, and top game designer. As her former family begged for help, Chris smiled calmly. "Honey, let's go home." Only then did Maia realize her "useless" husband was a legendary tycoon who'd adored her from the start.

After being kicked out of her home, Harlee learned she wasn't the biological daughter of her family. Rumors had it that her impoverished biological family favored sons and planned to profit from her return. Unexpectedly, her real father was a zillionaire, catapulting her into immense wealth and making her the most cherished member of the family. While they anticipated her disgrace, Harlee secretly held design patents worth billions. Celebrated for her brilliance, she was invited to mentor in a national astronomy group, drew interest from wealthy suitors, and caught the eye of a mysterious figure, ascending to legendary status.

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.

"Always." That was the pact. Ava, Ethan, and Jax had their entire future mapped out: University of California, Westwood, together, a perfect, unbreakable trio. Then Chloe Evans arrived. Sweet, charming, and seemingly innocent, she systematically dismantled Ava's life-from subtly stealing credit for her work to "accidentally" wearing Ava' s prom dress and grandmother's heirloom necklace. Ethan and Jax, Ava's childhood best friends, not only stood by but actively defended Chloe, constantly dismissing Ava's pain and valid concerns. "Don't be so dramatic, Ava," became their infuriating mantra. The final betrayal came at a bonfire when Chloe feigned a "trip" and intentionally seared Ava's face with a burning marshmallow. Yet, still, Ethan and Jax rushed to Chloe's side, pleading, "It was an accident! Forgive her, for our sakes!" Ava's heart turned to ice. This wasn't merely a physical burn; it was the searing truth of their blindness, their utter betrayal. They chose Chloe, every single time. Their "always" was a bitter, self-serving lie. Lying in that hospital bed, the sting of the burn a stark reminder, Ava made her choice. She closed the UCW application, opened a new tab, and clicked "Submit" on Yale. This wasn't just a school; it was an escape. She was charting a new path, alone and finally free.

Rejected by her mate, who had been her long-time crush, Jasmine felt utterly humiliated. Seeking solace, she headed to a party to drown her sorrows. But things took a turn for the worse when her friends issued a cruel dare: kiss a stranger or beg her mate for forgiveness. With no other choice, Jasmine approached a stranger and kissed him, thinking that would be the end of it. However, the stranger unexpectedly wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear, "You're mine!" He growled, his words sending shivers down her spine. And then, he offered her a solution that would change everything...

The whispers said that out of bitter jealousy, Hadley shoved Eric's beloved down the stairs, robbing the unborn child of life. To avenge, Eric forced Hadley abroad and completely cut her off. Years later, she reemerged, and they felt like strangers. When they met again, she was the nightclub's star, with men ready to pay fortunes just to glimpse her elusive performance. Unable to contain himself, Eric blocked her path, asking, "Is this truly how you earn a living now? Why not come back to me?" Hadley's lips curved faintly. "If you’re eager to see me, you’d better join the queue, darling."
