The Perfect Wife's Revenge
Daisy Swift · Completed · 7.1k Words
Introduction
A mansion in Westport, a successful husband, a beautiful daughter. Sixteen years of marriage that seemed unbreakable.
Until I found another woman's watch band in my husband's car.
Until I discovered that woman was my daughter's soccer coach.
Until I realized my nine-year-old daughter was helping her father lie to me.
Some betrayals strike like lightning. Others seep in like slow poison, until you discover your entire world is a lie.
When I stood on the platform at our annual community barbecue, armed with evidence and burning with rage, I understood a truth that would have destroyed the woman I used to be:
Sometimes the only way to save your family is to destroy it first.
Chapter 1
I was preparing organic blueberry pancakes and fresh orange juice for nine-year-old Sophia.
Perfect kitchen. Perfect breakfast. Perfect family.
"Mom makes the world's best pancakes!" Sophia swung her legs excitedly.
I smiled.
Footsteps thundered down the stairs. Tom rushed in, adjusting his tie while checking his phone.
"Sorry babe, Peterson's deal needs my attention today. I'll try to make it to Sophia's game later."
I frowned.
Peterson again.
"You know how business is." Tom kissed my forehead quickly and grabbed his car keys.
That kiss had felt... mechanical. Like checking off a task on his to-do list.
Sophia suddenly set down her fork. "It's okay! Coach Amy said she has special drills planned just for me!"
The way her face had lit up when she mentioned Amy... When had my daughter started getting more excited about her coach than spending time with her parents?
9:00 AM at Westport Youth Soccer Field. Luxury SUVs lined the green field's edge, soccer moms gathered around folding chairs.
Here we go. Another performance as the successful real estate developer's wife. I plastered on my community smile, the one I had perfected over years of school fundraisers and neighborhood barbecues.
"Your Tom's really making waves in the real estate world," Lisa teased.
I forced enthusiasm into my voice. "He's been working so hard lately. Sometimes I barely see him."
God, that had sounded pathetic. When had I become one of those wives who complained about her absent husband?
"Sophia's such a natural athlete!"
I turned around. Coach Amy approached—28 years old, blonde ponytail, tight athletic wear showcasing her perfect figure.
Everything I used to be before I gave up my career to play house. Former UConn women's soccer star, every dad's fantasy in this community.
"She must get it from her father's side." Amy's smile seemed unnatural.
There it was again. That slight flush, the way her voice had caught when she mentioned Tom. My instincts were screaming that something was off.
10:15 AM, the game began. But my attention fixed entirely on watching Amy's interactions.
Focus, Jennifer. You were being paranoid. She's just a young coach who admired successful parents.
Sophia broke through defense and scored beautifully!
But she didn't run to her mom on the sidelines. Instead, she rushed straight to Coach Amy for a hug.
When had I become second choice to a coach she'd known for three months?
My chest tightened with an emotion I didn't want to name.
"Great job today! Some of your parents really know how to support youth sports!" Amy shouted to the team.
Then I overheard Amy telling other kids: "Sophia's dad really understands the game."
Wait. How did she know Tom understood soccer? He'd never mentioned talking to her about strategy. When had they had time for that conversation?
The unease I had been pushing down started clawing its way up my throat.
"Mom, can Coach Amy come to our house for dinner sometime?" Sophia ran over, eyes sparkling with an anticipation that made my stomach drop.
Since when did my daughter invite adults to dinner? And why Amy specifically?
I forced calm into my voice: "We'll see, sweetheart."
But inside, something was breaking apart.
My phone lit up—"Westport Soccer Moms" group chat.
Someone had posted today's game photos.
I scrolled through image by image, my anxiety building with each swipe.
Then my finger froze on the screen.
In a background shot, Tom and Amy stood close together, deep in conversation. Tom's hand rested on Amy's shoulder, their posture inappropriately intimate.
The group chat started flooding:
[Great shots from today! Love seeing our supportive dads in action.]
[That photo of Tom and Coach Amy is so sweet - they look deep in conversation about Sophia's training!.]
[Some parents really invest in building relationships with coaches 😏.]
[Tom's always been so... hands-on with Sophia's activities.]
[Coach Amy is lucky to have such dedicated parent support. Not all coaches get that kind of attention.]
[They seem to have developed quite the rapport!]
My hands began trembling. How long had this been going on? How long had I been the clueless wife while the entire soccer mom network whispered behind my back?
Peterson's emergency deal. Downtown office. Saturday morning crisis. The lies had tasted bitter.
Just text Tom. Ask when he would be home. Normal wife behavior. Maybe he really was at the office.
But even as I typed, I knew I was grasping at straws.
Then I witnessed a scene that shattered everything.
By Amy's red Mazda stood a familiar figure adjusting his shirt.
Tom.
No. No, this couldn't be happening.
Tom emerged from Amy's car, glanced around to ensure no one was watching, then hurried toward his Tesla. Amy also exited the vehicle, her face flushed with satisfaction, a smug smile playing on her lips.
Sixteen years. Sixteen fucking years of marriage, and this was how I found out.
"Mom, you look pale. Are you okay?" Sophia asked.
I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my voice shaking: "Just tired, sweetheart. Let's go home."
Home. To what? To more lies? To pretending everything was fine while my husband fucked my daughter's coach?
As the engine started, every suspicious moment from the past months crashed over me like a tsunami: Tom's weekend "emergencies," Sophia's secretive excitement about extra training sessions, the way Amy's eyes had lit up when Tom's name was mentioned, the group chat's knowing comments...
I had been living in a lie. Playing the perfect wife while my entire life crumbled around me.
And my most precious daughter—did she know? Had she been helping them? Those innocent requests for dinner invitations, the special training sessions...
The realization hit me like a physical blow: I wasn't just losing my husband. I might be losing my daughter too.
Sixteen years of marriage, destroyed on a Saturday afternoon. And I was the last one to know.

The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known.

I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
The War God Alpha's Arranged Bride
Yet Alexander made his decision clear to the world: “Evelyn is the only woman I will ever marry.”
Invisible To Her Bully
My Possessive Alpha Twins For Mate
My drunk stepfather remained indifferent, his weight suffocating, making it hard to breathe as my heart raced.
Suddenly, the door slammed open, and two figures burst in.
"Get off her!" a deafening roar echoed.
I didn't expect the twin brothers who'd bullied me at school to come charging in like gods to save me.
After my grandmother passed, I had to move in with my mom and stepdad, who treated me like a servant. I prayed every day for my 18th birthday to come, so l could leave and escape this broken home.
However, on my first day at my new school, l encountered the legendary twins everyone feared.
To make matters worse, the Moon Goddess revealed they were both my mates!
After helping me out with my stepdad, my twin mate cornered me, played with my hair, and whispered possessively, "You belong to us, our little mate..."
Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.
The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
New to the world of shifters, Draven is human on the run. A beautiful girl who no one could protect. Domonic is the cold Alpha of the Red Wolf Pack. A brotherhood of twelve wolves that live by twelve rules. Rules which they vowed could NEVER be broken.

Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?

**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
