The Wife Who Burned It All (Their Second-Chance Wives)

I went to the hospital to tell my husband I only had two months to live. Instead, I found him in the maternity ward with his ex.

Eleanor
Cedric Perez saved my life when I was seventeen, and I’ve loved him ever since. When our arranged marriage was finalized, I eagerly gave up my dreams as a jewelry designer to be his perfect wife.
For three years, he gave me nothing but coldness. I swallowed the humiliation of his ex-girlfriend parading around as his assistant. Then came my terminal cancer diagnosis. Desperate, I went to the hospital—only to catch him comforting his pregnant ex and admitting our marriage was just an inconvenient transaction.
I’m done being his doormat. I signed the divorce papers, walked away, and finally launched my own jewelry brand.
But then came the ultimate twist. My terminal diagnosis was a malicious lie.
I’m not dying. I’m carrying Cedric’s baby.

Cedric
I broke the only woman who ever truly loved me. Blinded by arrogance, I punished Eleanor for a marriage I didn't want, taking her devotion for granted.
Now, I’m staring at an empty home. The lies have unraveled—my ex was never pregnant. But the truth doesn't matter when my wife is thriving in another city, looking at me like I'm a stranger.
She thinks she can erase me. But I will force my way back into her world. I’ll anonymously fund her business, buy the building next door, and tie her to me in every way possible.
I will spend the rest of my life on my knees to earn her forgiveness.
