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.”

DEAR EX-WIFE: IT'S PAYBACK TIME

Now she paraded around smiling, flaunting him like a trophy, while I was left with nothing but the cold, lifeless body of my child.
This wasn’t about hurt anymore. It wasn’t even about pain. She’d stolen a soul from me — and she would feel every atom of what I felt, and more.
“I want a divorce.”
“That’s not happening. You and I are in this together,” she screeched, eyes boring into mine, searching for the man who always bent to her will.
“You will sign the papers,” I said, every word a quiet stone.
“Make me!”
I stepped closer. My hand closed at her throat — delicate, trembling under my grip — and forced her to meet me. “Sign the papers,” I whispered, voice low and cold. “Or I’ll make you suffer so that even our daughter hears your screams from six feet under.”
