The Unwanted Wife's Unstoppable Rise

For five years, I was the devoted rock for Mark, pouring my love, money, and unwavering support into his struggling tech startup, dreaming of our shared future.

Then, on April Fool's Day, a wedding invitation flashed on Instagram: Mark and Chloe.

His college crush.

Her smug caption, "#NotAJokeAnymore?", felt like a direct stab.

He'd hidden it.

That night, a drunken Mark called me Chloe, regretting he was "too broke" to pursue her.

His friend confirmed I was a convenient rebound.
