The perfect wife
He didn't break her all at once. He taught her how to shatter herself. To everyone watching, she has the life girls dream of : money, beauty, a powerful husband, and a marriage wrapped in perfection. But behind their locked doors, perfection is the punishment she can never escape. He tells her who to be. He tells her how to walk, how to breathe, how to think. Every mistake is a lesson. Every bruise is a reminder. Every betrayal is somehow her fault. And she believes him. Because after years of being molded, corrected, and rewritten, she no longer remembers who she was before he decided to "fix" her. She only knows the rules he carved into her bones. Don't speak too loudly. Don't ask questions. Don't look at him when he's angry. Don't look away when he wants your attention. And above all Don't ever forget that love is earned, not given. Her sister whispers that she's losing herself. Her friends say they're worried. Her subconscious screams that something is wrong. But she silences all of them. Because she is so close so close to becoming the perfect wife, he swears she could be if she tries a little harder. And if she can be perfect... Maybe he'll finally love her. Or maybe perfection is the very thing that will destroy her. *This story depicts domestic and emotional abuse. These scenes are fictional and not meant to glorify or romanticize abuse.

The CEO's Secret Wife Walks Away
[Synopsis Title: The Wife No One Knew] She loses her baby because her husband's daughter pushes her down the stairs-and when she wakes in the hospital, Ethan Sterling's first concern is damage control, not her grief. Claire Hayes has spent years loving a man who keeps her hidden. At the office, she is just another low-level employee. At home, she is the secret wife of the cold, untouchable CEO. She tells herself his distance is temporary, that his silence means less than the vows they signed in private. Then one cruel accident rips away her child-and with it, every excuse she has ever made for him. As gossip swirls about Ethan and his ex-wife Vanessa rebuilding their perfect family, Claire starts to see the truth: her marriage was built on convenience, her kindness was mistaken for weakness, and the little girl who hurt her may be just another victim in a far uglier game. Between workplace humiliation, buried resentment, and a husband who only realizes what he's losing when she stops reaching for him, Claire is forced to choose between staying in a life that keeps breaking her... or walking away for good. But leaving Ethan Sterling is not simple. Not when his daughter clings to her, his ex-wife sharpens her claws, and the man who never fought for her suddenly refuses to let her go. This time, Claire won't beg to be loved. The only question is whether Ethan will understand that before he loses her forever.Complete
