**This was a story I came across before but I haven't been able to find it. I figured to write a similar story myself. The story might be a bit different because I just read the first few parts of the story and just continuing it to what I wanted the story to be since I was unable to find it again.
Let me know your thoughts! ***
"He called it love. I called it the ninety-ninth time he broke me."
Betrayal cuts deepest when it wears the face of love.
For five years, Sophia believed she was cherished. Ethan, her husband, showered her with luxury - necklaces, mansions, even a nebula - and told her he loved her every single day. But behind the gifts was a promise she never knew existed: ninety-nine punishments, all for the sake of another woman.
On the day of the final punishment, Sophia is left weak, bleeding, and abandoned... and she walks away for good. With a new name, a new country, and the help of Caleb Williams - Ethan's most ruthless rival - she begins to rebuild her life.
But Ethan won't let go. And when truths long buried come to light, the man who once destroyed her will find out what happens when the woman you underestimated stops loving you.
Love. Lies. Revenge. In Deceit, nothing is as it seems - and everyone has something to lose.

Echoes of Shadows
Beneath the Shadows - Part 3 Some people say that marriage changes everything-that it tames a man, softens a woman, turns fire into quiet embers. But they didn't know us. Caleb and I had been through too much to let anything turn to ash. If anything, marriage made us stronger, sharper, more dangerous. We weren't just lovers. We were a team. A force of nature. Together, we rebuilt Caleb's empire piece by piece until it became something no one could touch. More powerful than ever. Untouchable. Unshakable. At least, that's what I thought. It had been nearly a year since Caleb slid that emerald ring onto my finger, a promise that felt like a declaration of war against the rest of the world. And even now, with everything we'd achieved, I still carried shadows inside me. The trauma of the past-the betrayal, the pain, Ben-had left scars I couldn't erase. But I'd learned to use them. To let those shadows make me stronger instead of weaker. If there was one thing Caleb taught me, it was how to survive in a world built on blood and lies. And I was thriving. The woman I used to be-the one who doubted herself, who let others decide her worth-was gone. In her place stood someone new. Someone who could stand next to Caleb and not just survive, but rule. But life has a funny way of testing you just when you think you've won. I didn't know it yet, but the peace we'd fought so hard to build was about to crack. And this time, the betrayal wouldn't come from the outside. This time, it was hiding in plain sight.Complete

Because love makes fools of the strongest hearts.

Waiting for You Forever
She had it all-his love, his trust, his unwavering heart. But in a moment of weakness, she chose a path that shattered everything. Her betrayal wasn't just of a promise; it was of a soul deeply entwined with hers. When he discovered the truth, he left-not in anger, but in silence, carrying the pain like a wound too deep to ever heal. He never looked back, and he never returned. She begged for forgiveness, haunted by the weight of what she had done. Days turned into months, months into years, yet her heart remained chained to a hope that refused to die. Every knock at the door, every passing shadow stirred a flicker of belief-maybe today, he'll come back. But he never did. Now she lives with the ghost of her choices, trapped in an endless cycle of regret and longing. His absence echoes louder than any goodbye, and though the world moved on, she stood still-forever waiting for the love she lost, and the forgiveness that never came.

We both knew it was wrong, yet we crossed the line anyway. He was my first, my first love, my first sin, my first heartbreak. I thought I could handle it, but loving him was slowly destroying me. So I did the only thing that could save what was left of me. I left him. Because sometimes, walking away doesn't mean you stopped loving. It just means you've finally learned to love yourself.
Billionaire's Ex-Wife
"You have everything you ever wanted. I show you I love you, I tell you everyday too. Moneys not a problem, you have no spending limit. I don't understand. I give you everything!" He muttered angrily, slurring over his words but by now he'd sober up enough for me to make out what he was saying clear enough. I opened my mouth to speak but before I could say anything he beat me to it, "I give you everything. Don't I? Are you not happy?,-" he turned around, his eyes locking with mine. They were red and full of tears, it broke my heart seeing him this way. "Or is it not enough? Am I not enough?" his voice was cracking, and a single tear slid down his cheek. He quickly wiped it away and snuffed his nose, blinking the remaining tears away, his expression going cold. "and this is how you repay me.-" he scoffed, "-I can't believe you, you whore! Get out of my house! Now!"He yelled in a tone I'd only heard him use towards those he despised or worked for him. I couldn't believe this was happening. I quickly wiped the tears that were fogging up my vision and walked towards him. I extended my hand to touch his shoulder, but before my hand could even get near him he grabbed my wrist, harshly. "Nate please, let me talk!" I begged, looking into his emerald eyes filled with anger, pain, and hatred. "I said GET OUT!" He screamed jerking me towards the door, his hold on my wrist was tight making me wince. I felt something trickle down my arm reminding me of my gash from earlier. "Nathaniel stop your hurting me." I dug at his hand with my nails using my free hand trying to loosen his hold. He let go of my wrist and opened the door in front of us. -- One random night, Lilians life turns upside down after she's accused of adultery.

DECEPTION
PROLOGUE You always believe that doing it right guarantees a great outcome, but what if it doesn't? What if doing everything the way you were taught to ends with you questioning the very meaning of right and wrong? They said good girls always win, that patience pays off, that saving the best for the one who deserves it is the most honorable thing a woman can do. I believed them, I clung to those words as if they were sacred, because society made it sound like the crown jewel of a woman's worth. But what happens when you realize that the ones who broke the rules seem to have better outcomes? When you watch them live freely, laugh loudly, and still be chosen, while you, the one who chose to be good and follow the rules, are left to face the opposite? Does that mean life is unfair, or does it mean the rules were never written for you in the first place? I waited. I followed every rule. I held on when others let go. And when the night finally came, my night, I gave it all, expecting the forever I was promised, only to be met with the greatest deception of my life. The kind of heartbreak that does not just wound the heart, but questions your identity, your choices, and even your faith in love. How would you feel if the man you loved and believed in turned out to be someone entirely different? When the one you trusted the most isn't who you thought he was? When the one who clapped for your values was only clapping for himself, cheering because he had already won the game before you even realized you were playing? Not all stories begin with love, some begin with a lie, some begin with betrayal, and some begin with a silence that grows too loud to ignore. This is not the story you think it is. Follow me, and you will find out the truth about a girl who waited, who gave everything, and who discovered that being a virgin was not the beginning of her story, but only the secret she never thought she would have to defend.
Storms of the heart ♥️
His betrayal was the storm that could have drowned her, but instead, it awakened the fire she never knew she carried. He expected her tears- but she didn't shed a single one. He expected her to plead- but she gave him nothing except a cold, final silence. He expected her to break- but she walked away with her head high, leaving him to realize the weight of what he threw away. And when she stepped out of his life, she stepped into a world where her love was not taken for granted- into the arms of a man who understood loyalty, valued respect, and knew how to hold a woman like her... not as a possession, but as a partner. She didn't lose him. He lost her. And she found someone far more capable of loving the storm in her heart.Complete![Sofia not the First [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/309549025-256-k31119.jpg)
