I destroy our engagement in front of everyone and take the entire Seraphim clan with me.

Chapter 1
Cecilia's POV
I gave Arthur a thousand years. A thousand years to secure his throne as God-King.
And on the day of our engagement ceremony, he announced he was marrying someone else.
In my past life, I bled myself dry for him.
He told me Lilith needed Seraphim blood to live. I believed him. He bound me to the Divine Punishment Pillar and carved open my chest, one cut at a time.
He massacred my entire clan, calling it "treason."
I only learned the truth as I was dying. That pitiful "saint" was a demon from the Abyss all along.
Now that I'm reborn, watching him sit on that throne makes my skin crawl.
I destroy our engagement in front of everyone and take the entire Seraphim clan with me.
This time, I'm only here to watch him destroy himself.
I stand in the center of the cathedral, my stare cold as I watch Arthur on his throne.
He's holding hands with some delicate little thing.
That's Lilith, the realm's latest healing saint.
"Cecilia, Lilith saved my life and hurt her soul in the process."
Arthur's voice carries that commanding tone he loves, echoing through the hall.
"She's a hero to this realm. So today's ceremony isn't just about honoring her. Today, I'm making Lilith my Queen."
The room explodes.
The Dominions and Virtues around us start whispering to each other, every eye turning to me.
Everyone knows who I am. Cecilia, leader of the Seraphim clan, Supreme Commander of the Sacred Legion, Arthur's fiancée for the past thousand years.
I led my people through three centuries of war against the Abyss so he could keep that throne.
And now he's ditching me at our own engagement ceremony?
Lilith nestles against Arthur, giving me this timid little look.
"Please don't be angry with His Majesty, Sister Cecilia. It's my fault. I shouldn't have taken that hit for him."
"I don't need a title. As long as I can stay by his side, I'd be happy just being a servant."
Her eyes start getting red as she talks, tears threatening to fall.
Arthur pulls her closer and glares at me.
"Look how gracious Lilith is, Cecilia!"
"You're the Commander of the Sacred Legion. Show some grace and accept this. You'll agree to this today, like it or not."
Looking at his self-righteous face makes my stomach turn.
Memories from my past life flood back.
This exact day, I stood in this exact spot.
When I heard the news then, I lost it. Questioned him like a madwoman, even tried to attack Lilith.
What happened?
Arthur ran his sword straight through my six wings to protect that two-faced bitch.
Right here, in front of the entire realm, he stripped me of my command.
Later, Lilith faked an illness. She said only Seraphim blood could heal her damaged soul.
Arthur didn't hesitate. He chained me to the Divine Punishment Pillar.
Cut me open himself, one slice at a time, and drained every drop of divine blood from my body.
I remember it so clearly. Lilith was hiding behind Arthur, that vicious smirk on her face.
They tore me apart, and then Arthur butchered my entire clan on charges of "treason."
That soul-crushing despair is something I never want to feel again.
Now that I'm reborn, he's still the same selfish, fake piece of shit.
When I don't respond, the gods around us start murmuring.
"Why isn't Commander Cecilia saying anything? Is she in shock?"
"Poor thing. She gave him everything, and he just throws her away for someone else."
"Shh, keep it down. The God-King is just repaying a debt."
Arthur sees my silence and assumes I'm caving like I always did.
He looks down at me with that patronizing tone.
"As long as you accept Lilith today, Cecilia, you'll still have a place in my heart."
"My feelings for you won't change."
I laugh. Actually laugh out loud.
Arthur frowns. "What's so funny?"
I raise my head and meet his eyes with ice.
"I'm laughing because you're not just blind, you're delusional."
"You think I want your heart?"
I lift my right hand. A crystal forms in my palm, glowing with golden light.
The marriage bond crystal that the former God-King left behind. The one that sealed our engagement.
Arthur's face changes. "Cecilia, what are you doing?!"
I close my fist. The supposedly indestructible crystal crumbles to dust in my hand, golden powder scattering in the air.
Dead silence.
Everyone's eyes go wide, staring at me in disbelief.
Even Lilith freezes, forgetting to keep up her crying act.
My voice comes out cold and final. "As of today, our engagement is over."
Arthur shoots to his feet, face going red. "Cecilia! Do you have any idea what you just did? You're breaking off our engagement in front of everyone?!"
"You revolted me first. What, I'm not allowed to feel the same?" I stare him down. "Arthur, for a thousand years, my clan has been fighting and dying for you."
"If you think this crying waste of space is more important than that, then you two deserve each other."
"I'm done."

Invincible Upon Release: The Strongest Mage
Her family looked down on him, and even she herself said coldly: “You’re not worthy of being my husband.”
Everyone thought this newly released good-for-nothing was just a poor fool who’d taken the fall for his brother.
Thorne said nothing.
He merely raised his hand, gently pressing his bride’s forehead.
In an instant, the chaos in her eyes faded. Holy light surged from beneath the church, shooting into the sky.
The world’s only candidate for the Saintess, blessed with holy power, slowly opened her clear eyes before him.
BROKEN TRUST
Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.
Emily’s affair didn’t just end her marriage—it erased the life she thought was guaranteed. Ryan left without looking back, carrying his anger like armor and leaving Emily alone with regret she would never outrun. Three years later, fate drags them back into each other’s world, along with a little girl who has Ryan’s eyes and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried. As parenthood binds them together and the past demands accountability, Emily and Ryan must face the question neither of them is ready to answer: is broken trust the end of their story… or the beginning of a love forged through loss, forgiveness, and brutal honesty?
The Rejected Luna’s Rise
Luna Ariana Volkstane slid the formal rejection request across the table. "Let's end this bond. It's better for you, me, and your first love."
He just smirked. "You want me to reject you? You think you can break our bond that easily?"
So she did. Ariana cut ties with him completely, poured herself into her career, and rose to global fame as a legendary healer, her knowledge of rare herbs, wolf anatomy, and ancient magic sought after across continents.
The powerful suitors lined up. The Alpha of an overseas empire whispered, "Ariana, hurry up and perform the severing ritual. I can't wait to claim you." A powerful pack leader vowed, "I'll be there with you the day you break the bond." A legendary wolf attorney promised, "I'll handle your rejection case with the pack council myself."
Ariana just rubbed her temples. It's not that she didn't want the split, she wanted it more than anything, it's just that the Alpha she was mated to refused to let go.
Finally, she announced, "Whoever can officially get me rejected, I'll put you at the head table of my bond-breaking celebration."
Not long after, Alpha Damian was served the official rejection request right in the middle of an emergency pack council meeting. That same afternoon, he was attacked by rogues at the gates of his own territory.
When Ariana showed up at the pack infirmary with healing herbs, she repeated calmly, "Let's sever the mate bond. It's better for you, me, and everyone else."
But the cold, untouchable Alpha pulled her into his arms, his eyes blood-red with fury. "You want me to reject you? Over my dead body."
Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?
