Bought for His Legacy
“Happy married life Liora,” my stepsister, Camille, chuckled, mockery dripping from her voice.
She leaned closer to me, her lips brushing against my ear as her voice dropped down to a whisper,
“Though your husband already started it with another woman.”

Sold off in a marriage of convenience to save her dying father and his crumbling company, Liora Bennett thought she was prepared for any sacrifice. But nothing could prepare her for Sebastian Carvers.
The ruthless billionaire who is just as cold as he is handsome, and he makes it devastatingly clear that she is just an unwanted burden in his life.
But Liora is about to discover that she didn’t just walk into a miserable marriage- she walked straight into his trap and she would never be able to resist a man like him.
Now, with her father’s legacy and her own future on the line, her only choice is to outmaneuver the most powerful and cunning man she’s ever met. Can she beat him at his own game before he destroys everything she has left?

Chapter: Chapter Four Sebastian’s POV.I think I underestimated Liora Bennett.Not in a billion years would I have imagined that she would be bold enough to tell my father to his face that she wanted to run her father’s company knowing very well the kind of situation they were in.I was seated next to her in the back seat of my car which was speeding down the road.She stuck close to the window, desperate to put enough space between us but there was no amount of space that could stop her flowery scent from wafting towards me.When my father told me about the wedding, I was livid and it felt like a death sentence to me.Vivienne was the only woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and this washed up princess from a failing company was not what I had envisioned for myself.There was very little about her on the net, she didn’t attend social events, never openly flaunted herself like her stepsister did and the few blog posts I had seen about her said her looks was the main reason she hid herself from

Chapter: Chapter ThreeLiora’s POV.I cried throughout the night and the next morning, my eyes were swollen and red, my entire body sore but the maid insisted I come down for breakfast.After last night, I assumed I would be eating alone but he was seated at the head of the long table when I walked into the dining room. He was scrolling through his phone, a cup of coffee in front of him.He looked perfectly put together, not one strand out of place, like the man from last night had been a nightmare.He didn’t look up or utter a word as I took my seat.I barely touched my food, unable to swallow anything. The silence that settled over us was so thick, thick enough for someone to choke on.“There are some papers you need to sign,” he suddenly spoke up, his eyes still glued to his phone, “I’ll have someone bring it up to your room.”“Okay.” I whispered softly,And that was it, he stood up and walked out without a single glance in my direction.Later that day, the maid brought a document to my room and after go

Chapter: Chapter TwoLiora’s POV.I could still hear Camille’s laughter ringing in my ears as the tears rolled down my cheeks, slipping into the crack of my lips and filling my mouth with that salty taste as I stared aimlessly at the dark clouds that had gathered in the sky.My husband had just kissed another woman right in front of me without even a glance in my direction and drove off with her without a word.Was this really going to be my life?Camille and Helena had already scarred me enough, was marriage not supposed to be my happily ever after?“Mrs Carvers.” A gentle voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I glanced up to find a young man dressed sharply standing before me.I had been so lost in thought that I didn’t noticed him or the car parked behind him.“Mr Reginald sent me to take you home.” He said as he pulled open the door for me.Mr Reginald was Sebastian’s father, the same man that had insisted on this wedding. I didn’t say a word, I simply slid into the back seat and we drove off.I wra

Chapter: Chapter OneLiora’s POV. “This marriage will save everything Liora. For once, don’t be selfish and think about your father.” My stepmother’s words echoed at the back of my mind as I clutched the bouquet tighter, my lips trembling and my heart pounding against my chest while the priest read out the vows. This was not how I had imagined my life. I wanted to be happy, my wedding was supposed to be filled with happiness and laughter because it was everything I had ever dreamed of since Helena, my stepmother and her daughter Camille walked into our lives. I bit down hard on my lower lip to stop the burning tears rapidly pooling at the bottom of my eyes as I stole a glance at my father’s frail body, barely positioned upright in his wheelchair. His eyes were vacant, fixed on nothing and I was certain he probably didn’t even know where he was or what was going on around him. A sharp pain cut through my chest, suffocating me to a point where I was almost gasping for air. He was not always like that,
