A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother

A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother

Girl PowerFinanceDramaCEOIndependentHidden IdentityBetrayalContract MarriageWeak to Strong
Amber built an empire she was never allowed to claim. Brilliant, strategic, and fiercely loyal, Amber was the mind behind a billion-dollar real estate empire—the woman who identified undervalued properties, structured acquisitions, and designed expansion projects that reshaped skylines. But when betrayal strikes, she’s fired, humiliated, and discarded by the man she helped rise to the top. She walks away with nothing but her intelligence, her dignity… and the projects that were always hers. What her ex-fiancé never expects is his powerful half-brother. A billionaire real estate magnate in his own right, controlled, private, and raising two adopted children on his own, he offers Amber something unexpected: a contractual marriage. No romance. No lies. Just mutual benefit. A public wife to stabilize his corporate image—and a strategic partner who understands the business better than anyone. Amber accepts. She takes her real estate projects with her—developments she sourced, designed, and negotiated from the ground up—and brings them into her new husband’s company. Entire portfolios shift overnight. Investments follow her. For the first time, her name is on the contracts, her voice dominates boardrooms, and her success is undeniable. As Amber rises, the real estate empire she once built in silence begins to crumble. Deals collapse without her leadership. Bad investments surface. And the company her ex-fiancé claimed as his own crashes spectacularly—while Amber thrives, wealthier and more powerful than ever. But what begins as a business arrangement slowly becomes something far more dangerous. Because power is intoxicating. Trust is fragile. And love was never part of the contract.

Amber POVThe castle became wonderfully quiet once the last family left.Parents thanked us for the afternoon.Children promised to return the next day.Mrs. Sun looked delighted with how successful the first session had been.By nine o'clock, only our family remained.One by one, the children drifted upstairs.Alice insisted on hugging everyone before bed.Alex reminded me that tomorrow's lesson should include "how to recognize internet scams."Rose asked if she could help bake cookies for the next class.Iris simply wished us goodnight before disappearing toward her room.The castle slowly settled into silence.Jason and I remained in the library.Neither of us spoke.I already knew why.Once he was sure the children were asleep, Jason reached inside his jacket and pulled out his tablet.His expression had completely changed.The warmth from earlier had disappeared."I found more."I took the tablet without saying a word.The first email made my stomach turn.The second made me angr

Chapter: find a wife
Amber POVMy heart was pounding.Jason stood quietly near the entrance, the tablet still in his hand. From where I was sitting, I could see the highlighted emails on the screen before he locked it.He had found something.Probably something terrible.The urge to walk over and ask him immediately was almost overwhelming.Not now.Not in front of the children.Whatever Alexander Vincent was planning could wait another hour.The children couldn't.I forced myself to smile as if nothing had happened.It took every ounce of self-control I possessed."Actually," I said, looking toward the back of the room, "I think someone just arrived who might have a better answer than I do."Every child turned around.Jason looked up, slightly surprised that everyone was suddenly staring at him.I smiled and waved him over."Come here."He hesitated for only a second before slipping the tablet into the inside pocket of his jacket and walking toward us.The children immediately made room for him.Some of

Chapter: Life lessons
Amber POVI needed a distraction.Between the pregnancy, the Vincents, the Vinny family, the secret door beneath the castle, and the constant attacks against our family, I felt like my brain never truly rested.Mrs. Sun noticed before I did."You need something that reminds you why we're doing all of this," she told me one afternoon over tea.I looked at her, exhausted."And what exactly do you suggest?"She smiled."I want you to teach."I blinked."I already do.""No."She shook her head."I want you to teach life."I frowned, waiting for her to elaborate.Mrs. Sun leaned forward, her eyes sparkling with excitement."The school counselors have identified children who struggle making friends, understanding social situations, building relationships, or simply feel... different."She smiled toward the academy visible through the castle windows."Children like Alice.""And Alex.""Iris.""Rose."A pause."And, if we're being honest..."She smiled knowingly."You and Jason."I couldn't e

Chapter: After school
Jason POVThe moment I finished reading the email, one thing became painfully clear.The Browns were never the real problem.Alexander Vincent was.The wording.The tone.The careful promises hidden behind polite business language.I had seen it before.Far too many times.Alexander Vincent never made demands.He planted ideas.He let other people believe they had come up with them themselves.The email Amber found had been sent from a burner address.An account created solely for that conversation.Someone else would have dismissed it as impossible to trace.I didn't.Because the sender's identity wasn't hidden in the address.It was hidden in the writing.Every sentence screamed Alexander Vincent.He wanted Rose.Not because he cared about her.Because she was useful.My jaw tightened.Rose and Iris had already lost too much.Rose had survived the Vincents.Iris had survived years of neglect.Neither of them would ever become bargaining chips again.Not while I was alive.I looked t

Chapter: Our daughter.
Amber POVJason's video accomplished exactly what neither of us expected.Mrs. Sun declared it a masterpiece.Not because it had defended our family.Not because it had silenced the rumors.But because of his last sentence."If anyone remains confused, I suggest taking a biology class at our school."She replayed that part at least five times.Then she looked at Jason with a smile that honestly frightened me."Do you have any idea what you've done?"Jason frowned."I defended my wife."Mrs. Sun shook her head."No."She pointed at her tablet."You advertised my school."Jason blinked."What?"She turned the screen around.The academy's website had crashed.Applications were pouring in faster than the servers could process them.Parents from all over the continent wanted to enroll their children.Even adults were joking online that they should attend the biology classes.The waiting list had doubled overnight.Mrs. Sun laughed happily."I should let you handle all of our marketing."Ja

Chapter: To clarify
Amber POVThe good mood lasted exactly three days.Three.Apparently that was the maximum amount of happiness the universe was willing to grant me before someone decided to create another crisis.This time, the target was me.I woke up to seventeen missed calls.Twelve messages from Pamela.Five from Clara.Three from Jason's assistant.And one from Grandfather, which honestly worried me the most.The moment I opened my phone, I regretted it.Pictures.Hundreds of pictures.Pictures of Oscar and me from when we were engaged.Pictures of me attending events with Marcus.Pictures of Adrian and me together.Which would have been less ridiculous if Adrian wasn't my cousin.The internet had apparently decided facts were optional.The headlines only got worse."WHO IS THE REAL FATHER OF AMBER ASHER'S TWINS?""SUN HEIR SHOULD DEMAND DNA TEST.""MULTIPLE MEN LINKED TO ASHER HEIRESS.""MARCUS HESS SECRET SPERM DONOR?"That one actually made me laugh.Then came another."BABIES MAY BELONG TO SU

“I built his empire with my blood and my money. He rewarded me by taking my cousin to our bed.” For years, I was the invisible Alpha of the Sandwell Pack. While Maxwell claimed his "duties" kept him from me, I was the one balancing the ledgers, securing the borders, and investing my private millions to turn his dying territory into a gold mine. On my 18th birthday, I finally found out what those "duties" were. I found my fated mate, Maxwell, in the arms of my cousin, Amelie. they mocked me for being a "useful fool," an unpaid servant who funded their luxury while they shared a bed. When I exposed their lies to the Pack, they didn’t offer me justice. They chose Amelie’s fake tears and exiled me on the spot. I didn't steal a cent of their wealth—I left the accounts exactly as I found them: pathetic and empty. Five years later, the girl they threw away is the woman who owns the world.

Chapter: A Queen's Jealousy
Aella POVThe attention stayed on Xander.Not intentionally.No one was praising him.If anything, everyone looked mildly terrified that my son had accidentally developed the ability to summon people across realms.Still...He had become the center of every conversation.Apparently, that was unacceptable.At least according to my other two children.Riot was the first to protest.The little menace, who until recently had only been crawling and climbing, suddenly decided that walking was beneath him.Running, however...Running was perfect.He took off across the infirmary with a delighted squeal."Aurora!" Queen Samantha called.My eleven-year-old sister-in-law gasped."Oh no."Riot disappeared beneath one bed.Aurora dove after him.The little boy emerged from the other side laughing triumphantly."You little monster!" Aurora cried as she chased him around the room.Riot only laughed harder.Hunter, still lying in bed with his head wrapped in bandages, watched the chase with wide eye

Chapter: Called Home
Aella POVThe laughter slowly faded.Poor Hunter still looked thoroughly offended, his head wrapped in enough bandages to make him resemble an oversized mummy.Xander, meanwhile, floated happily around the infirmary, completely unaware that he had just become the center of one of the strangest rescue operations in history.I opened my arms."Come here."The little boy immediately floated into them, smiling as though he hadn't accidentally dropped my aide headfirst onto the Sanctuary's throne.I kissed the top of his head."You scared me."He blinked those bright little eyes at me.Then placed both tiny hands against my cheeks.The familiar warmth spread through our bond.Not our mate bond.Our mother and child bond.It wasn't words.Not exactly.More like emotions wrapped around images.A feeling.A memory.A thought.Everyone around us grew quiet.Chaos tilted his head."He's trying to explain."I closed my eyes.The images became clearer.Darkness.A forest.Hunter walking ahead.Th

Chapter: An Unexpected Rescue
Aella POV"Hunter!"The word tore itself from my throat as the portal snapped shut.One second he had been smiling at us.The next...Gone."No!" Sol tried to stand, but the moment he pushed himself off the ground, his knees buckled. I wasn't doing any better.The sixteen-hour ritual had left us with barely enough strength to breathe, much less fight.I planted my hands against the earth and tried again.Nothing.My arms trembled violently before giving out.We both collapsed back onto the grass.Chaos was already beside us."Don't move.""We have to—" Sol protested."You can't," Order interrupted.For once, neither spirit sounded calm.Hunter had been taken.Order looked toward the place where the portal had appeared, his expression unreadable."There is no residual magic.""What?" I whispered."It disappeared completely."Chaos cursed under his breath.Without another word, the two spirits placed a hand on each of us.The world blurred.The Sanctuary.We reappeared inside the throne

Chapter: The Trap Springs
Aella POVFive hours.Five hours of walking.Five hours of bleeding into the earth.Five hours of repeating ancient vows until the words no longer felt like words, but part of my breathing.Step.Blood.Promise.Step.Blood.Promise.The ritual had become almost hypnotic.My palm no longer hurt.It had gone numb hours ago.The earth beneath our feet glowed faintly wherever our blood touched it, ancient runes awakening one by one as the Academy slowly accepted our oath of protection.Order's prism light continued to bend around Sol and me.To anyone watching, the forest appeared completely empty.Only the footprints forming in the dirt betrayed that someone had passed.Even those disappeared moments later.At the five-hour mark, fatigue finally began catching up with us.My shoulders ached.My legs felt heavy.Every step required conscious effort.I could feel the same exhaustion through the Bond.Sol was hiding it.Poorly.Ahead of us, Hunter and Chaos continued walking as if nothing

Chapter: The Second Barrier
Aella POVThe Academy adapted.It wasn't something I wanted to admire.Most of the students were between fifteen and twenty-two years old. They were no longer children, but they were still far too young to become accustomed to war.Yet that was exactly what was happening.The Academy had become a fortress.Not because of its walls.Because of its students.As Sol and I walked through the campus after the attack, I watched the future leaders of the shifter world doing exactly what they had been trained to do.Senior Alpha students organized defensive patrols around the damaged buildings.Older Beta students established communication stations, handing out phones so younger students could contact their families and reassure them they were alive.Gamma trainees coordinated supplies, distributing food, water, blankets and first aid equipment while directing volunteers toward the infirmary.The warrior cadets were already rebuilding barricades and repairing defensive positions.No one had o

Chapter: The Academy Burns
Aella POV The attacks didn't stop. If anything, they became worse. Every morning another report arrived. Another village destroyed. Another pack asking for help. Another family displaced. Every time we thought we had identified a pattern, Elias changed it. One day the mutants attacked from the north. The next from the east. Sometimes they struck three places simultaneously. Sometimes they vanished for days before appearing somewhere completely unexpected. It was impossible to predict. Sol and I answered every call we could. The commanders from the Academy spread across the neighboring territories, reinforcing the smaller packs. The Silver Pack sent warriors wherever they were needed. The Dragon Kingdom joined the effort under Queen Samantha's command. Even the newly formed Void Guard began escorting civilians away from dangerous areas. It still wasn't enough. The mutants were relentless. They didn't retreat. They didn't surrender. They fought until every last on
