Three weeks before his dream wedding, Caleb Hartley receives a photo that changes everything-his fiancée, Ava, wrapped in a spa robe with her ex, laughing over cocktails on what was supposed to be a girls-only retreat.

He doesn't yell. He doesn't beg. He cancels the wedding, packs her things, and walks away.

What follows is a masterclass in self-respect, quiet revenge, and emotional rebirth. As Ava spirals publicly-grasping at pity posts, toxic friends, and a new millionaire to manipulate-Caleb rebuilds privately, piece by piece. With the unexpected grace of Savannah, a grounded woman who meets him without pretense or performance, he learns that healing doesn't have to be loud to be powerful.

Told in raw, alternating first-person perspectives, The Nuptials That Weren't is a bold, emotionally layered exploration of what happens after betrayal, when the dust settles and the silence speaks louder than revenge ever could.

This is not a story of a broken man.

It's the story of the one who got away-and never looked back.All Rights Reserved

Today was supposed to be my 20th anniversary of marriage with Thomas, but instead of going out to celebrate, I was at home waiting for my kids to come home from school.

When The Fire Fades by DKAYALEXIS

They built a life together. A family. A company. A future. But somewhere between boardroom meetings and bedtime stories, the spark faded. Sienna Brooks thought the life she worked so hard to build was enough. Until the husband she trusted found new excitement in someone younger, someone new-someone who wasn't her. Betrayed but not broken, Sienna won't fall apart. She'll rise. And when Miles Bennett, a quiet force from her past, reappears with eyes that never stopped seeing her, Sienna learns that sometimes, love doesn't shout-it waits. This is a story about heartbreak, healing, and falling in love again-this time, with someone who's been ready all along. (POV switches ahead-because both sides of the story matter, even if one's being a dumbass. You'll see.)

Runaway Girl by vbrown12

After four years of secret meetings and stolen moments, I finally plucked up the courage to confess my feelings. Instead of admitting the same, he chose to humiliate me in front of the world, betraying me in the process. The internet coined me the Runaway Girl. When all he wanted was for me to run back to him. I left him in my rear view and never planned on turning back. If only he kept to his word and stayed there.

Just Something to Do by JohnsonMRC

"She was just something to do until someone better came along." Those words weren't meant for Sarah's ears-but once heard, they could never be unheard. What started as a night of celebration on her boyfriend's birthday became Sarah's breaking point. The man she adored, trusted, and built dreams around reduced her to a placeholder in front of his friends. No confrontation. No drama. Just silence... and the quiet unraveling of love. But heartbreak doesn't destroy Sarah-it awakens her. As the weeks turn to months, she withdraws not in defeat but in determination. She pulls away from toxic love and starts piecing herself back together, alone but not lonely. With the support of her closest friend and the gentle presence of Evan-a man who respects the space between them-Sarah begins a new journey. This isn't about finding new love. This is about becoming love. A year later, when fate forces Sarah and Josh to cross paths again, she isn't the same girl waiting to be chosen. She's already chosen herself. And in doing so, she proves that the most powerful revenge isn't anger or bitterness-it's thriving in the life you built after they stopped deserving you. Just Something to Do is a raw, deeply emotional story of betrayal, healing, and the quiet triumph of rediscovering your worth.

Tangled Fates (Work In Progress) by HopingForTheBest44

The Duke and Duchess of Winterset and their closest friends, the Duke and Duchess of Everly, have shared a lifelong bond-one passed down to their children: Lady Charlotte and Lord Jasper of Winterset, and Lady Abigail and Lord Philip of Everly. For years, the families jested that one day their children would marry and make the connection official. As the young ladies prepare for their first Season, old friendships begin to shift and unexpected affections take root. Lady Abigail quietly captures the heart of Lord Jasper, now the newly titled Duke of Winterset, while Lady Charlotte clings to a long-held hope that Lord Philip will finally return her affections-only to find his attention lies elsewhere. Determined not to be left behind, Charlotte takes matters into her own hands, weaving a scandal that ripples through both families. Her deception sets in motion a chain of consequences no one could have foreseen. In the wake of her claims, Jasper-blinded by duty and fury-believes his sister has been wronged and turns his wrath on the woman he once adored. Unaware of the betrayal at play, Lady Abigail finds herself married to a man driven not by love, but by revenge. As lies begin to unravel and long-buried truths claw their way to light, Jasper must face the greatest question of all: will he recognize the truth before it's too late to mend what he's broken? *Trigger warning- contains mention of early miscarriage and of someone no longer wishing to live*
