The billionaire's unprepared marriage
She was never meant to stand beside a billionaire.
Now she is one.
When Lura David accidentally spills coffee on a stranger’s thousand-dollar suit, she thinks it’s just another bad day. Broke, exhausted, and drowning in bills, she’s used to apologies that fix nothing.
But the man she bumps into isn’t just anyone he’s Lord Xavier Blackwood, a ruthless billionaire with thirty days to fulfill a brutal condition:
“Inherit this company, or your brother takes everything.”
To claim his legacy, Xavier needs a wife. Love isn’t required just a signature on a contract.
He never expected to choose Lura sharp-tongued, unimpressed, and utterly indifferent to his wealth. But that’s exactly why she’s perfect.
One contract. Twelve months. Three million dollars.
No emotions. No attachments.
But Lura is not what she seems not the way she fights him, not the secrets she hides from him, and not the way she makes him feel.
Xavier’s enemies are watching.
Lura’s past is catching up.
And the contract meant to save them… might destroy them both.
When betrayal splits them apart, Lura disappears
Only to return as something Xavier never saw coming:
A billionaire. A CEO.
Two enemies. Two empires. One love that was never supposed to survive.
But after lies, heartbreak, and war…
Will they still choose each other?

But here I was, in the anonymous apartment, not knowing what may come next.I didn’t sleep. I couldn’t sleep.
Some impossible words by Xavier still looped in my mind over and over again.

Chapter: His condition my sister’s lifeMiss Margaret left the house, putting the document on the table opened. I continued to flip through the document page by page, reading the plan and all the strategies over and over.Not long after the door had closed behind her, another knock came again. Very Sharper this time, echoing heavily through the silent of the whole apartment.“Hello Lura, open the door.” Immediately I froze, my heart jumped. Who could that be? But For security purposes, I clutched the folder Margaret had left on the table and kept it hidden.Normally according to the rules, I wasn’t supposed to answer anyone except Xavier, but the sound carried authority, and felt slightly familiar. Before I could think of what to do next, the door swung open, and Xavier stepped in silently.The streetlight cast shadows across his face as he stand at the doorway. His expression wasn’t unreadable, but calm, yet urgent.“Lura… Lura, we really need to talk and sort out a lot of challenges we may continue to have,” he said, not

Chapter: Erased to be rebornI couldn’t imagine so much. This was the kind of life he lived a very complicated life where people didn’t disappear by chance or accident, but by design and betrayal.“Xavier I’m going now. What about my sister?” I asked sharply and firmly, “because now William already has all her records.”“Yes, she’s already been moved to a saver hospital,” Xavier interrupted immediately. “Private facility. New doctor. New name. An anonymous hospital.”A bit of relief washed over me like everything is already ok.“Xavier You already did that… when?” I whispered.“Just An hour ago,” he said hurriedly. “Before William took this dangerous step.”I swallowed hard. Since, Today had been a very tough day, tension thick in the air. But after what Xavier just said now, I finally felt some relief.Xavier faced me again and said, “Lura, once you leave here, no contact with anyone. No calls. No messages. No social media. Just continue to stay anonymous like you don’t exist.”Immediately, I asked, “What about

Chapter: Disappearances protocolYes, I already knew no going back, because this was the death point, William knows about Catherine already, but I would do anything to secure her…“Lura please dress fast, I also want to take a dress,” Xavier moved out of the room hurriedly.The Blackwood estate had never felt so unfamiliar... The walls I had walked for months, the room I had slept in for months, this was just the sadly end. Every step echoed too loudly. Every shadow looked like it might move on its own.Disappear, disappear…. “You need to disappear now”Xavier’s words continued to echo in my mind over and over as I stood in front of mirror that had never truly been my own.A faithful and loyal female guard was already waiting outside behind the door, two more faithful servants stood at the end of the corridor anticipating me. Though It wasn’t for protection, but it was from a secret planned extraction from the estate.Sadly, I opened the cloth wardrobe, staring at some expensive dresses lined up inside, a perfectly

Chapter: The price of freedomThe room was filled with unusual silence. No one spoke to the other. The deal had reached its peak and it’s about to go down, and this was probably the hardest level. Not just because of William’s threats, but because of the space between Xavier and me.A small space controlled by thick silence but filled with anger, disappointment, fear, and something far more dangerous and harmful. slipping away from what Xavier had long anticipated.Xavier stood very close in front of me. No space. His chest rose and fell faster, like he was taking his last breath. Every muscle in his jaw twitched. His fingers curled into fists at his sides, then loosened again, relaxed but dangerous. “Lura…..”I could see clearly that he was fighting something huge within himself. What was it? I could guess exactly what. He was literally fighting the realization that I was no longer something he could command anymore, unlike before.“Lura, do you realize you are choosing poverty over protection. Do you know things
