Zeaauthor · Completed · 144.7k Words
Introduction
I always believed my marriage to Adrian was everything—solid, loving, unshakeable.
Until the night I received that mysterious message.
When I walked into the Grand Aurora Hotel, I saw the truth with my own eyes:my husband celebrating the anniversary of his first love with another woman.
In front of a room full of guests, he placed a diamond necklace around her neck...and then handed me divorce papers without a second thought.
Humiliated, discarded, and mocked by the world, I lost my marriage, my reputation, and even my boutique overnight.
But this is not a story about my fall.
It's about my rise.
With the help of my loyal team, I rebuild my career from the ground up, reclaim my name, and expose every lie that once tried to destroy me.
And just when the truth finally surfaces, Adrian comes crawling back—begging for forgiveness.
But I'm no longer the woman he abandoned.
I'm Rosemary.
The wife he threw away.
The designer reborn from the ashes.
And I'm coming back—not for him, but for everything I deserve.
Chapter 1
"Your husband is celebrating his first love's anniversary tonight. If you want to know, come to the Grand Aurora Hotel, Main Ballroom."
Rosemary's chest pounded wildly. Her fingers trembled as she read the mysterious message.
"No… this must be some cheap joke," she whispered. But the more she tried to ignore it, the tighter the knot of curiosity strangled her heart.
With hurried steps, she grabbed her coat, clutched her bag, and rushed to the hotel mentioned in the message. A light drizzle dampened the streets, the city lights glowing faintly through the mist.
The Grand Aurora Hotel's ballroom was filled with the clink of crystal glasses and the laughter of guests. A soft orchestra played, while the scent of wine mixed with expensive perfumes lingered in the air.
Rosemary's eyes swept the room. And then… she saw him.
Her husband—Adrian.
The man stood in an elegant black suit, smiling warmly. In front of him was a young woman in a striking red gown, her face radiant as if the night was made just for her.
And in Adrian's hands—a black velvet box slowly opened.
"For you, darling," Adrian's voice echoed clearly, carried by the microphone. "This diamond necklace is the symbol of my first love, one that never fades no matter how much time passes."
Applause erupted throughout the room. Laughter and cheer filled the air.
Rosemary froze. Her feet seemed glued to the marble floor as she witnessed the scene before her.
A diamond necklace? A symbol of first love?
She swallowed hard, forcing down the surge of anger rising in her chest. Then, with firm steps, she pushed through the crowd.
"Adrian!" Her voice rang out, loud and sharp, silencing the orchestra instantly. All eyes turned toward her.
Adrian's smile vanished as he turned.
"Rosemary?"
The woman in red looked at her with surprise. Guests began to whisper; some even stifled chuckles.
Rosemary moved closer, her eyes blazing. "What is the meaning of this, Adrian? Giving a diamond necklace—to another woman—in front of everyone? What day is this supposed to be?"
Adrian sighed, placing the box into the woman's hands before stepping forward.
"Rosemary… you shouldn't be here."
"Shouldn't be here?!" She fought to steady her voice. "I am your wife! I have every right to know why my husband is flaunting his love for another woman in public!"
The whispers grew louder. Phones were raised, recording the scandal.
The woman in red smirked. "Maybe because I am his first love, while you… were just a late arrival."
"Silence!" Rosemary shot her a burning glare. "I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to my husband."
Adrian's face hardened. "Enough, Rosemary. You're embarrassing yourself."
She stepped closer, her voice trembling with fury. "The only embarrassment here is you, Adrian! A husband who betrays his vows!"
Gasps rippled through the crowd. Some laughed, some watched in tense silence.
Suddenly, Adrian snatched the microphone from the host. His face was tense, but his voice rang loud.
"Fine. If you want the truth, I'll say it here, in front of everyone."
Rosemary's eyes widened.
"From tonight onward," Adrian said coldly, "I divorce you, Rosemary."
The world collapsed around her. Rosemary's heart stopped for a moment. Laughter broke from several corners of the room.
"What… what did you just say?" Her voice quivered, barely audible.
Adrian's gaze was firm, unshaken. "You heard me. I divorce you. You are no longer part of my life."
"Adrian!" she cried in despair. "How can you say that—here, in front of everyone? After everything I've done for you?"
The woman in red hooked her arm through Adrian's, smiling triumphantly. "It's over, Rosemary. You're just the past. Adrian chooses me now."
Rosemary staggered, nearly collapsing. Her hand clutched her bag tightly.
"This… this is insane." Tears welled in her eyes. "You've truly humiliated me in front of everyone."
A man in the crowd chuckled, whispering, "What a pity. His wife thrown away like garbage."
Laughter followed. Some women covered their mouths, suppressing giggles.
Rosemary's face burned. Her entire body shook, torn between rage and heartbreak.
"Isn't it enough that you betrayed me, Adrian? Must you also mock me in front of them all?!"
Adrian turned his face away, cold. "Go home, Rosemary. Don't make a scene."
"A scene?" She stepped so close she nearly touched his chest. "You started this! You stabbed me in the back, then stripped me bare before the world!"
The woman in red laughed lightly. "Oh, Rosemary, you should know better. First love always wins."
Rosemary turned on her, her eyes blazing red with fury. "First love? True love doesn't destroy another woman's marriage!"
The room erupted again.
Adrian raised his hand, signaling the orchestra to resume, as though trying to end the drama. But Rosemary stopped him.
"No, Adrian. You won't walk away so easily." Her voice trembled, but it was sharp. "I'll make sure everyone knows who you really are. A coward, a traitor, and a man who knows nothing about the sanctity of marriage vows."
Adrian glared at her, then spoke coldly, loud enough for all to hear: "You're no longer my wife, Rosemary."
Tears streamed down her face. "It won't be that easy, Adrian. I'll make sure you regret humiliating me tonight."
She turned and walked away through the crowd of guests—half sneering, half stunned.
Behind her, the laughter of the woman in red and the sound of music swallowed what was left of her pride.
Rosemary stepped out of the ballroom on shaky legs, but her eyes hardened. A tear nearly fell, but her lips whispered through the storm inside her:
"I won't let this drama end on your terms, Adrian."

The Vampire Prince's Hybrid Bride
The Dragon's Last Fae Queen
“Prince? Dickhead? Asshole? Or stalker?” A slow, dangerous smile curved his lips. “Maybe I should show you the one title I want you to use.” Before I could react, his hand closed around my chin, tilting my face up. His lips crashed into mine, hard, claiming, breath-stealing. When he finally pulled back, his voice was a rough whisper against my lips. “You could call me yours… because you are mine.”

Aphrodite and the Cursed Mate Bond
She finds truth.
Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate.
The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all.
As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path.
Love does not come in one form. Neither does power.
In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected.
Not a queen.
But the axis upon which the world turns.
The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...

The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
