Broken promise
“You mean nothing to me,” Andrew declared, his voice icy and final.
My heart shattered with every word he uttered. My vision blurred with tears as our beautiful memories flooded my mind.
We were in love, we were inseparable.
So how did I become nothing to my husband?
“Why…why would you say that?” I whispered, my lips trembling from the weight of disbelief.
“You shameless cheat! I was bedridden, and you seized the chance to be with another man!” He snapped, his hand tightening around Anna's waist.
My eyes darted to Anna, my best friend, “What did you tell him?” I asked, hoping this was all some misunderstanding.
She smirked, “The truth.”
“You were supposed to help me take care of him. I was going to tell him how I got the money for his treatment. Why would you lie?” I questioned as the feeling of betrayal stung.
“Oh please,” she scoffed. “You expect him to believe someone paid you three hundred thousand dollars just to pretend to be their wife? You slept with him, Georgia. That’s cheating.”
I staggered back, clutching my head as her words echoed through my mind like chaotic music on repeat.
My mouth opened but no words came out.
How do you explain a contract marriage to save your dying husband?
I sobbed softly as the feeling of betrayal burned the shattered pieces of my heart. It stung deeper than I imagined possible.
This wasn't from a stranger.
It was from the two people I loved the most.
Now, I've got nothing left to lose.
And I'll make sure I get revenge for this.
No one will be spared!

She's going through a divorce at the moment. While comforting her, I ended up crying myself,” I sighed as I paced towards the door, hoping she bought the lie.Her brows contorted as she rubbed my arm softly, “Ohh…I'm so sorry about that. You have to be strong for her okay? You can even try to help them reconcile.”I breathed a smile, trying to hold back the urge to break down again.How can I reconcile with someone who is ready to throw me out of his life?I nodded softly as I clasped my hands together, “Yeah, you're right. I'd try to do that.” Kiara beamed, her lips curling into the perfect smile.“Alright then! I'll be in the kitchen if you want to talk..” she said, slowly stepping out of the room.“Sure, thanks.” I appreciated before watching her back disappear int

Chapter: My Heart With Another.Henry's POV.I was no hero, to save anyone in distress but I had no choice than to help Georgia.It was just me taking advantage of the situation–she was in need of money, I was in need of a wife.My need for a wife stemmed from the desire to ensure my inheritance remained mine, as somewhere in the family's custom, a married heir was more responsible.I honestly wouldn't have cared so much about the inheritance if my greedy uncle hadn't tried to steal what was rightfully mine.Marriage was the last thing on my mind but I had to make use of the benefits.Love…well, that was something I removed from my life a long time ago so a marriage contract was the best.I needed someone who wouldn't mess things up, and Georgia seemed desperate enough to protect the contract.However, she also couldn't be trusted.
