You Cheated on Me, Now You’re Crying After the Divorce

Introduction
It wasn't until Grace watched Alfred stroll out of the VIP terminal with his ex on his arm that she finally understood. This marriage had only ever been real to one of them.
She signed the divorce papers without a scene. Quietly resigned. And moved on.
That's when he lost control.
"Grace, who gave you the right to just leave?"
"Is this about another man? You're divorcing me for him?"
Then came the night he stood in the rain, eyes red, blocking her path.
"I was wrong. Can we go home?"
She looked at him and said simply, "Mr. White, we're already divorced."
Chapter 1
Grace Brown waited at the airport for four hours, only to finally see Alfred White walk out from the VIP passage with another woman on his arm.
The special assistant had asked her to pick up Mr. White, but gave her the wrong flight number. She couldn't find any information, so she could only stand there waiting. Now her calves were sore and her back felt like it was about to break.
The moment she saw the VIP passage door open, all her anticipation was instantly crushed to pieces.
Along with the exhaustion in her body, the instant she saw the two of them, everything turned into sharp heartache that made her whole body tremble, unable to catch her breath.
Brenda Harris wore a gentle apricot-colored dress, her skin fair as snow, makeup perfect. One hand gently held Alfred's arm, while her other arm carried his coat.
She leaned close to Alfred's side, saying something in a low voice, her posture as intimate as lovers who'd been together for years.
He was also turning his head to listen to her, his brow relaxed, his eyes holding a faint tenderness—a look Grace had dreamed of for three years but had never seen.
In their three years of marriage, she'd always thought he was just cold by nature. She never imagined he could be so tender and gentle, just never with her.
Biting her tongue hard, the taste of blood in her mouth helped Grace clear her head a bit. She took a small step forward, wanting to say hello, and the next second locked eyes with Alfred.
His eyes, which had held some warmth, instantly darkened. His gaze swept over her without a ripple, as if she were some unimportant stranger.
Grace's body stiffened, as if someone had dumped a bucket of cold water over her head.
Only her last bit of dignity kept her forcing herself to stand up straight.
"Grace? What are you doing here?" Brenda noticed her, the smile on her face deepening. "Are you here to pick up Alfred? You should have said something first."
Her tone carried deliberate surprise and sickeningly sweet showing off, and she held Alfred's arm even tighter.
Only then did Alfred look over again, his brow furrowing, his tone cold as ice and impatient. "What are you doing here."
"Assistant Carson asked me to..." Grace's voice was slightly hoarse. Before she could finish explaining, she was interrupted.
"But my dad already drove here to pick us up, Alfred, do you want to go with her?" Brenda pouted pitifully, acting cute.
Grace was forced to swallow her words back down, feeling nauseous.
Looking at Brenda's smug expression, then at Alfred's ice-cold profile, she felt their three-year marriage was ridiculous and absurd.
"Let's go." Alfred withdrew his gaze. "Don't worry about her."
He continued walking forward, his broad-shouldered, long-legged figure radiating coldness.
Brenda smiled and followed his steps, not forgetting to turn back and wave at Grace, her eyes full of smugness. "Grace, we'll go first then. Next time remember to ask clearly, so you don't make a wasted trip."
Grace's expression remained calm, her gaze staying on Alfred until his figure disappeared at the exit. Only then did her tears fall.
The calm in her eyes suddenly shattered, replaced by extreme sadness mixed with long-suppressed coldness.
Countless painful memories crashed into her mind.
In their three years of marriage, he'd always said that when the time was right, he'd make their relationship public. Right now Grandpa White's health wasn't good, and if Grandpa White didn't agree, they couldn't go public.
Grace believed him. In public, she never crossed the line. Even Carson at the company didn't know about their relationship.
After waiting three years, all she got was him appearing openly in public with another woman.
He said Brenda was just a junior from before, that he was looking after her for the Harris family's sake, since the two families had business together.
But she'd clearly heard Brenda crying on the phone, asking, "When are you divorcing Grace? I want to go public with you."
And the business trips on his schedule, the international meetings, all the anniversaries he said he couldn't spend with her... they were actually excuses to meet Brenda. She'd discovered this long ago.
Grace found a spot and sat down, wrapping her coat around herself.
Her black coat was sharply tailored, with a gray professional blouse underneath. Her long hair was pinned up low, giving her the cool, capable air of a career woman.
Maybe she was too proper, completely different from women like Brenda with their hot bodies and bold clothing.
Of course men would prefer that sexy, forward type.
Taking out her phone, she made a call. "Secretary Wendy."
Everyone at the company thought she was just Alfred's incompetent personal assistant.
Only the head of the secretarial department—a rigid middle-aged woman who usually looked down on Grace—knew her true identity. After all, Wendy had watched her grow up.
"Grace." In private, Wendy always treated Grace with respect. "Have you made your decision?"
"I've decided. Slip the divorce agreement into the documents Alfred needs to sign. He trusts you, he won't look closely. Just don't let Carson find out." Grace's tone was calm.
Even though the words she spoke seemed to tear open her heart, reason kept suppressing her emotions, letting her know this was the right choice.
After that, she drove away from the airport.
She should have gone back to the company, but she turned the steering wheel and took another road.
Soon, a divorce agreement was delivered to her, with Alfred's bold signature on it.
Her phone rang, the label "Husband" particularly jarring.
"Where are you?"
On the other end, Alfred's voice was cold and impersonal. "Why aren't you back at the office?"
"Something wrong?" Grace asked coolly.
"It's work hours. There's a meeting this afternoon. Grace, do I need to remind you?" Alfred was clearly displeased.
The world before Grace's eyes gradually blurred, but her tone was light, even carrying a hint of laughter. "Mr. White, I've resigned."
"Resigned?" Alfred's anger began to spread.
"Yes, I just decided." Grace responded flatly. "No need to look for me."
"Because of the airport pickup?" Alfred pushed his anger back down, his tone slightly perfunctory. "Carson made a mistake, it's not your fault."
Grace's knuckles turned white gripping the phone, her throat feeling blocked by something.
Not her fault.
Had she done something wrong in the first place?
"You know why."
She tried hard to control her voice, not wanting to lose composure.
"I've told you before, Brenda is just like a little sister." He always got impatient when this came up. "Grace, can't you be more understanding?"
"You've never been understanding with me."
Grace took a deep breath and, copying his usual tone, said in a matter-of-fact way, "Alfred, let's get divorced."

I did once.
As the Luna of the Shadowcrest Pack, I gave everything to a man my wolf recognized as her mate, enduring whispers, cold stares, and a pack that never truly accepted me. I stayed because I believed love required endurance. Because I believed patience would one day be rewarded.
That belief shattered the night Caden welcomed his former lover back into our home, along with a child he claimed as his heir. It ended the moment his choices nearly cost me my life and the life of one of my unborn pups. Leaving was no longer a matter of pride. It was survival.

My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.

But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.

Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.

From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?

MOONLIT CHASE
But no, I had to walk through the park at midnight like an idiot. Now I've seen something I can't unsee—a massive black wolf tearing apart three men, then shifting into the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on.
Kieran Vaughn. Wealthy lawyer, werewolf, and apparently, he thinks I'm his mate.
Here's the problem: I don't do relationships. I definitely don't do supernatural things. I absolutely don't do rich guys who think they can control my life just because their inner wolf has decided I smell like home.
When hunters start targeting me to get to him, Kieran drags me into his pristine penthouse for "protection." Now I'm living with a man who looks at me like I'm his last meal, whose touch sets my skin on fire, and who's barely holding onto his control.
He says everyone he loves dies. I say that's not my problem except it is because I'm falling for this broken, dangerous man and his beast.
And in his world? Love will get you killed.
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
