THE SUBSTITUTE HUSBAND BECAME HIS WIFE'S BOSS

THE SUBSTITUTE HUSBAND BECAME HIS WIFE'S BOSS

For three years, Diego Herrera was mocked as nothing more than a “substitute husband.” His wife sneered, “Diego, you were never my man—you were Alejandro’s replacement.” Humiliated, treated like a parasite, Diego endured in silence. Until the night he walked away. What no one knew? The man they despised was the God of Martial Arts, a healer feared in every hospital, and a hidden CEO whose empire made generals and billionaires kneel. “Diego, you’re worthless!” Isabella spat. He looked at her once, cold and final. “Worthless men don’t make CEOs tremble.” From boardrooms to battlefields, his name will shake nations. Doctors, generals, tycoons—every one bows before him. And every woman who once laughed at him now fights to catch his eye. Heiresses, celebrities, even daughters of the most powerful families… all whisper the same thing—they want him. But Diego has no need to chase. He is the storm. The boss. The man untouchable. “You’ll crawl back to me!” Isabella mocked. He smiled faintly. “No. You’ll kneel.”

Chapter: CHAPTER 185 PART 2
When consciousness returned, Diego's mind was clear and sharp. He lay on the cold warehouse floor, surrounded by corpses, but his thoughts had regained their tactical precision.Then he heard it. Distant sirens. Screaming. Chaos coming from somewhere outside the warehouse.Diego forced himself to stand, his body protesting but obeying. He navigated through the warehouse and found stairs leading up from what he now realized had been a basement ritual space.The moment he emerged onto ground level and stepped outside into daylight, Diego saw the devastation.He was in what looked like a middle-class residential neighborhood. And scattered across the street were people—civilians—convulsing on the ground. A woman outside her car. An elderly man on the sidewalk. A teenage boy who'd been riding a bicycle.All of them marked with spreading black veins across their exposed skin. All of them suffering from corruption poisoning.Severus. The possessed madman had run through this neighborhood, a

The ritual began with Severus's chanting reaching a fever pitch, the twelve cultists joining their voices in languages that predated recorded history. The knife descended toward Diego's cursed left hand, and Diego felt the Devil's Hand responding to the call.But not the way Severus had intended.The moment the blade touched Diego's cursed flesh, dark energy exploded outward in a wave of malevolent power that had been compressed and contained for years. The transference wasn't a gentle redistribution—it was a violent eruption.The first cultist to the left of Diego didn't even have time to scream. The darkness hit him like a tidal wave, flooding his system with corruption his body couldn't possibly contain. His eyes went black. His skin turned gray. Dark veins spread across his face like cracks in porcelain.Then he simply collapsed, dead before he hit the ground.The second cultist lasted three seconds longer, enough time for a strangled cry of agony before the same fate claimed him.

Isabella left Esperanza's office with frustration burning in her chest. The confrontation had gone completely wrong. Instead of breaking Esperanza's spirit, instead of intimidating her into backing off, Isabella had only strengthened her enemy's resolve.Esperanza hadn't flinched. Hadn't backed down. Hadn't shown even a flicker of the fear Isabella had hoped to instill.Which meant the direct approach wouldn't work. Isabella needed a different strategy.If she couldn't neutralize Esperanza, she'd have to make Esperanza's opposition irrelevant by forcing Santiago's hand completely. No more waiting. No more gentle persuasion. It was time to use the nuclear option.That evening, Isabella invited Santiago to her apartment with promises of a quiet dinner and quality time. But the moment he arrived, she launched into tears—perfectly calculated, beautifully performed tears that made Santiago immediately uncomfortable."What's wrong?" he asked, moving to comfort her. "Is it the baby? Are you

"Weak?" Isabella's laugh was harsh. "He's not weak. He's being manipulated. By you. By your threats. By your constant interference in his happiness.""His happiness?" Esperanza's voice dripped with sarcasm. "Is that what you're calling this disaster? You using him for his money while working with the people who killed our father?""There you go again with the conspiracy theories," Isabella said, but something flickered in her eyes. "Diego really did a number on you, didn't he? Filling your head with paranoid fantasies about criminals and schemes.""Diego told me the truth. Something you wouldn't recognize if it bit you."Isabella's expression hardened. "You know what your problem is, Esperanza? You're a widow trying to stop young love because you can't stand seeing other people happy. You lost Diego—or he abandoned you, who knows—and now you want everyone else to be as miserable as you are."The words hit like physical blows, and Esperanza felt tears prick her eyes before she blinked

Esperanza's hands slammed on the desk sergeant's counter with enough force to make papers jump. "I don't care about your protocols! I don't care about your resource limitations! My husband is missing and you've buried his case like it doesn't matter!""Ma'am, please calm down—""I will not calm down!" Esperanza's voice rose to a near-shout, drawing attention from everyone in the station. "I want to speak to your superior! Now! And while I'm waiting, I'm making some calls of my own!"She pulled out her phone and began dialing with furious precision. First, her family's lawyer. Then a city councilman who owed the Vegas a favor. Then a journalist friend who specialized in exposing police corruption and incompetence.Each conversation was loud, deliberate, and designed to create maximum embarrassment for the department."Yes, that's right," she said into the phone, her voice carrying through the entire station.

The tranquilizers had worn off enough for Diego to regain full consciousness, though his limbs still felt heavy and uncooperative. He found himself strapped to a cold stone slab in the center of the warehouse, his arms and legs bound with chains that had been etched with the same arcane symbols covering the walls.Around him, twelve figures stood in a perfect circle, all wearing dark robes identical to Severus's. The cult of Diablos, Diego realized with sinking dread. Twelve fanatics who actually believed the madness their leader preached.Candles burned at cardinal points around the ritual space, their flames casting dancing shadows that made the symbols seem to writhe and move. Incense smoke filled the air with a cloying sweetness that made Diego's head swim."This is a bad idea," Diego said, his voice still rough from the drugs. "If you do this ritual, you'll all die. Horribly. Painfully. I'm trying to save your lives by telling you this."Severus, his broken nose now bandaged but

THE LOSER GOD OF WAR IS MIRACLE DOCTOR

THE LOSER GOD OF WAR IS MIRACLE DOCTOR

Everyone in Chicago thought Keith Cross was nothing—a discarded war hero turned human blood bank for his in-laws. His wife called him a leech, her mother demanded he donate or die, and her new lover promised to "drain him dry." But what they didn’t know? That “worthless freeloader” they mocked… was the Miracle Doctor they’d been desperately begging to save their dying son. “You think you can throw me out like trash?” Keith says with a slow, deadly smirk. “You’ve been living off my charity this entire time.” When Keith flashes his black VIP card, the world shifts. Elite restaurant managers fall to their knees. Security guards bow. And his ex-wife? She drops to the floor, begging for mercy after publicly calling him a busboy in disguise. “You said I was a blood bag,” Keith says, towering over her. “Funny. You never asked whose blood ran this city's veins.” She called him weak. He became untouchable. Now he’s back—to take everything they stole, and leave them gasping in the dust of his name.

Mira's face flushed with anger and desperation. "One patient means nothing!" she shouted over the crowd. "We demand a more difficult case! Something that will truly test your so-called abilities!""Agreed," Marcus added, trying to regain control of the situation. "Let's see if the miracle doctor can handle a real challenge."They wheeled out a young man, barely conscious, his body ravaged by advanced disease. The Genesis doctors examined him briefly and shook their heads."There's nothing we can do," one of them admitted. "The damage is too extensive.""Your turn," Mira said to Keith with a sneer, confident he would fail.Keith approached the young man and placed his hands on his chest. The familiar glow emanated from his palms, brighter and more intense than before. The crowd watched in stunned silence as color returned to the patient's face, as his breathing steadied, as life flowed back into his weakened body.Two minutes later, the young man sat up, looking around in confusion.

Keith pulled her into a gentle embrace, mindful of her newly healed shoulder. "I'm okay. You found me in time."They looked at each other for a long moment, and then Keith kissed her. It wasn't tentative like their first kiss – this was filled with relief and gratitude and something deeper.Linda cleared her throat. "Hate to interrupt, but we have about fifteen minutes before the competition starts and you look like death warmed over."Keith stood, helping Yona to her feet. "What competition?""Mira challenged you to a healing competition," Linda explained quickly. "It's being broadcast live on national television. It starts in fifteen minutes upstairs in the main lobby.""Then we'd better not keep them waiting," Keith said grimly.They made their way upstairs, Keith moving steadily despite the ordeal he'd been through. His healing abilities had restored most of his strength, though he was still pale from the blood loss.When they emerged into the main lobby, the crowd fell silent. Ca

The news crews were setting up their equipment in Genesis Medical's main lobby, cameras and lights being positioned for the broadcast that would happen in just a few hours. Time was running out, and Keith was nowhere to be found.Linda stood in the middle of the chaos, her phone clutched in her hand, feeling utterly helpless. Keith should be here by now. He should be preparing to clear his name, to show the world what the miracle doctor could really do. But he wasn't answering his phone, and she had no idea where he was."This is a disaster," Linda muttered to herself.Yona appeared beside her, having left the main entrance. "Linda, those men I saw – I'm going to follow them.""What? No, that's too dangerous—" Linda started to protest.But Yona was already moving toward the back of the hospital, following the path the suspicious men had taken. She pulled out her phone and started recording video, documenting everything – the empty corridors, the service entrance, the unmarked door the

Emilia looked between Yona and Linda, weighing her options. She'd already betrayed Chris to Keith. What difference would it make to tell Cynthia as well? And if it meant getting her company back, getting her life back..."Fine," Emilia said. "I'll tell her."They found Cynthia in the VIP wing, standing outside her father's room with Chris beside her. When Cynthia saw them approaching, her expression darkened."You three again?" Cynthia said with disgust. "I thought I made it clear you're not welcome here.""Cynthia, please listen," Emilia said, stepping forward. "I have something important to tell you about your father.""More lies from Keith's camp?" Cynthia asked mockingly."This isn't from Keith," Emilia said. "This is from me. Chris has been poisoning Ivan. All along, it was Chris."The hallway fell silent. Chris's face went pale, then red with anger."That's absurd," Chris sputtered. "Cynthia, don't listen to her—""It's true," Emilia insisted. "Every time Keith treated Ivan and

Linda stood outside Genesis Medical Hospital, her phone pressed to her ear as Keith's number rang and rang with no answer. Her heart sank with each unanswered ring until finally it went to voicemail."Keith, please call me back," Linda said urgently. "Mira challenged us to a healing competition. It's going to be broadcast on the news tomorrow night. I need to know what to do. Call me as soon as you get this."She hung up and immediately tried again. Same result. Keith's phone was on, but he wasn't answering.Linda tried calling Yona next, hoping she'd heard from Keith."Linda?" Yona answered, sounding stressed. "What's wrong?""Have you heard from Keith?" Linda asked."No, not since he left to find Sean," Yona replied. "Why? What's happened?"Before Linda could explain, she heard another voice in the background – a voice that made her blood run cold."Is that Linda?" Emilia's voice came through the phone. "Let me talk to her! She needs to tell me where Keith is!""Emilia is there with

Keith drove through the night with cold determination, heading toward the docks where the attackers had said Sean was hiding. Building twelve. He'd memorized the location, planned his approach. After what Sean had done – kidnapping Linda, threatening them, attacking his home – Keith was done holding back.The warehouse district was dark and abandoned at this hour, just a collection of old buildings near the water. Keith found building twelve easily – a large, decrepit structure that looked like it hadn't been used in years.Perfect place for someone like Sean to hide.Keith parked his car a block away and approached on foot, staying in the shadows. He expected guards, expected resistance. But the building seemed completely empty, which only made him more cautious.He found a side door that had been left unlocked. Too convenient. Keith's instincts screamed at him that this was a trap, but he pushed forward anyway. He had to end this tonight.The interior of the warehouse was dark, illu

REBIRTH TO CHANGE MY FATE

REBIRTH TO CHANGE MY FATE

Broke, jobless, and just one bad day away from giving up, Jake Morrison thought life had hit rock bottom. That was until a tragic accident killed him—only for time to snap back like a rubber band, giving him a second chance... and a mysterious power: the ability to rewind time by sixty seconds. With each reset, Jake turns misfortune into opportunity—from saving a young girl from abuse, to surviving gang ambushes, to winning the lottery with calculated precision. But every miracle comes at a price. As he navigates shadowy threats, run-ins with ex-lovers, and the twisted politics of Stellar International Corporation, Jake realizes he’s being watched—and not everyone wants him to succeed. Thrown into a world where secrets are currency and power is everything, Jake finds himself pursued by gangsters, entangled in corporate warfare, and caught between two women: Grace, the selfless landlord who believes in him, and Christine, the seductive classmate with motives of her own. Money. Power. Revenge. Love. Jake’s got one minute to rewrite his future… But what happens when time runs out?

Francine closed her folder and looked at Jake directly. "Mr. Morrison, I'll be honest—your resume doesn't inspire confidence. But your answers today have been thoughtful and mature. You've shown emotional intelligence and moral conviction that many candidates with better credentials lack."Jake felt hope blooming in his chest."However," Francine continued, "this is ultimately a business decision. We need someone who can hit the ground running and contribute immediately.""Give me that chance," Jake said quietly. "I guarantee you won't regret it."Francine studied him for a long moment. "We'll be in touch within 48 hours."As the panel filed out, Lewis lingered behind, his face twisted with malice."You think you're so smart," Lewis hissed. "But this isn't over. I'll make sure you never work at this company, and I'll destroy Grace Chen's career while I'm at it.""Try it," Jake replied calmly. "See how that works out for you."That felt good, Jake thought as he walked toward the lobby.

Jake Morrison straightened his tie one final time as he approached the sleek glass doors of Stellar International's downtown branch office. The building was smaller than the main headquarters but still impressive, with polished marble floors and contemporary artwork adorning the walls. His heart hammered against his ribs as he checked in with the receptionist."Jake Morrison for the 2 PM interview," he announced, his voice steadier than he felt."Please take a seat," the receptionist replied with a professional smile. "Ms. Romano will be with you shortly."Francine Romano. Jake had researched her online during the bus ride over—Harvard MBA, fifteen years in corporate HR, known for her no-nonsense approach to hiring. This wasn't going to be easy.Twenty minutes later, a woman emerged from the elevator that made Jake's breath catch. Francine Romano was strikingly elegant, probably in her early forties, with auburn hair pulled back in a severe bun and sharp green eyes that seemed to anal

The elevator doors opened to reveal a typical corporate floor—beige carpeting, fluorescent lighting, and the smell of coffee and printer toner. Grace led Jake down a hallway lined with framed motivational posters and employee recognition plaques.Manager Lewis's office door was open. Jake could see a man in his fifties sitting behind an oversized desk, his receding hairline combed over and his tie slightly loosened. When Lewis looked up and saw Grace approaching with Jake, his expression shifted from anticipation to annoyance."Ms. Chen," Lewis said, standing up with false politeness. "I thought we agreed you'd be coming alone.""This is Jake Morrison," Grace replied, her voice steadier than Jake had expected. "The candidate you're interviewing today."Lewis's eyes narrowed as he looked Jake up and down with obvious disdain. "Mr. Morrison. You're early. The interview isn't scheduled for another hour.""I thought it would be good to arrive early," Jake replied evenly. "Show initiative.

Jake Morrison stood in front of his cracked bathroom mirror, adjusting the tie Grace had given him for the third time. His hands trembled slightly—whether from nerves or residual anger from Danny's taunts, he couldn't tell. The interview at Stellar International was in ninety minutes, and despite his lottery winnings giving him financial cushion, this job still felt crucial.This isn't just about me anymore. It's about proving Danny wrong and showing Grace her faith isn't misplaced.A sharp knock interrupted his preparation. Jake opened the door to find Grace standing in the hallway, her face drawn with exhaustion but her eyes bright with nervous energy."I need to tell you something about the interview," Grace said, glancing around nervously. "Can I come in?""Of course." Jake stepped aside, noting how Grace kept looking over her shoulder toward her own apartment where Danny's voice could be heard talking loudly on the phone.Grace closed the door behind her and leaned against it.

The next morning, Jake Morrison woke to the sound of Danny Chen's obnoxious laughter echoing through the thin walls. He'd barely slept, his mind churning with anger over Grace's situation and the upcoming job interview at Stellar International Corporation. The irony wasn't lost on him—interviewing at Frank Zhao's company after the humiliating encounter with Sarah.Jake emerged from his apartment to find Danny lounging in the hallway, smoking a cigarette despite the building's no-smoking policy. Danny's bloodshot eyes locked onto Jake with predatory satisfaction."Well, well, if it isn't the white knight," Danny sneered, blowing smoke in Jake's direction. "Sleep well, hero?""Better than you, apparently," Jake replied, trying to move past him toward the stairs.Danny stepped sideways, blocking Jake's path. "You know what I find funny? You acting like you give a shit about Grace when we both know you're just trying to get in her pants."Jake's jaw clenched. "Move.""Or what?" Danny laug

Chapter 5: Unexpected ComplicationsJake Morrison stood outside the upscale bistro on Fifth Street, checking his phone for the third time. Grace had texted an hour ago saying she couldn't make it due to a work emergency, but that Maya would meet him instead. The lottery money still felt surreal in his bank account—thirty-seven thousand dollars that had transformed him from desperate to hopeful overnight.A sleek black BMW pulled up to the curb, and Maya Rodriguez emerged from the passenger seat. Behind her stepped another woman—tall, elegant, with striking auburn hair and designer clothes that screamed expensive taste. She moved with the confidence of someone who had never worried about rent money."Jake!" Maya called out, waving him over. "This is my friend Sofia Ross. Grace couldn't make it, so I brought reinforcement."Sofia extended a perfectly manicured hand, her green eyes scanning Jake from head to toe with obvious disappointment.
