Owned By The Devil
Marry a man for money and he would make you work for every penny..
Kelsey Sinclair abandoned everything she had ever known to marry the billionaire heir, Marcus Phillip. Fairy tales do come true and lucky people fall in love after an arranged marriage, but that wasn’t her case.
Marcus did not love her, neither did she love him, but her father was drowning in debt and marrying him was the only way to save her father.
Marcus was a literal eye candy. Pleasant to look at and stacked with enough assets to make sure his great grandchildren inherited enough to last them a lifetime. He was every woman’s dream; kind, rich and with the body of a god.
But, beyond the surface, he was worse than the devil himself.
Now, Kelsey is forced to run away from a cold world with Marcus but unknown to her she gets dragged into the controlling and dominating world of Andre Alessandro, a more dangerous version of Marcus.

Chapter: BACK TO PRISONI woke up feeling extremely heavy, like someone had stuffed my body with sandbags. Everything felt heavy. My arms, my legs, even my eyelids.The sheets beneath me were so soft, I spread out my hand and caressed it slowly.The scent in the air smelled like faint cinnamon, oakwood, leather and what was definitely tobacco.My heart dropped into my stomach."No....no...no fucking way," I muttered under my breath.I knew this place. Everything felt too familiar.I was back at the mansion.Panic shot through me like lightning. I pushed off the bed, my legs wobbling like jelly but I didn’t care. I stumbled to my feet and scanned the room. I froze as soon as I spotted him sitting in a chair across the room, his eyes glued to his phone, completely absorbed in whatever he was doing.He hadn’t noticed me. Perfect!I crept toward the door, each step calculated and silent, holding my breath like even air might betray me. My fingers brushed the doorknob. I turned it slowly. It made a low click sou

Chapter: THE BLACK BOXI could still feel the imprint of his hand over my mouth and his breath on my neck.The hungry and possessive look in his eyes was all I could think about as I stumbled out of the bathroom, my heart racing like I’d just sprinted a marathon. I was trying not to fall apart. I felt vulnerable and exposed. I knew he was still here and he was waiting for another opportunity to humiliate me again.“There you are!” Vanessa’s voice cut through the loud music, pulling me back to reality.“I’ve been looking everywhere for you,” she grinned, then leaned in with a mischievous glint in her eyes. “And I saw that man—that god awful sexy man walk out right before you. Girl, who was that? And how the hell did you bag someone that fine without telling me?”I couldn’t answer. My lips were sealed shut by panic.Vanessa’s smile faded instantly. “Kelsey?”I blinked and looked away. “I’m fine. I just... I want to go home.”She stepped closer, her thick brows knitting together. “Kelsey.. did he do something

Chapter: PLAYING WITH FIRE"Kelsey, please come with me."Vanessa was practically on her knees, holding my hands like her life depended on it. Her eyes were wide with desperation and the faintest hint of excitement.She only got this excited when she was up to no good."I don’t know,” I hesitated. “After what happened at the gallery, I just… I’m not sure I’m ready for another crowd.”“I swear it’s just a regular party,” she insisted. “No creepy installations from one of your secret admirers, no surprises. Just drinks, music, and dancing. Please, I need you there.”I stared at her and despite every alarm in my head going off, I gave in. “Fine. But I’m not staying late.”Her face lit up like a kid on christmas. “Deal! Now go get ready. I laid something out for you.”I should’ve known.When I stepped into my room, the dress on the bed was practically illegal and would be banned in several countries.Black, short, backless, and tight enough to cut off my circulation. It had a plunging neckline that left nothing to

Chapter: THE EXHIBITION Vanessa was sobbing into my chest like a child. Her tears soaked through my shirt, but I didn’t move. I just held her till she calmed down a little."Why didn’t you tell me?” she sobbed, her fingers gripping my arms tightly. “Kelsey, why did you keep all these from me?”I closed my eyes, my mind clouded with guilt and regret. “Because there was a lot at stake,” I said softly. “My job. Your family. Lily. I didn’t want to be the one who ruined it all after you have shown me so much kindness.”She pulled back to look at me, her eyes were blood red and her face was swollen and puffy. “You should have at least told me," she murmured as she wiped her eyes with her palms."I'm so sorry my dad humiliated you and Lily-"Before she could complete her sentence, the door creaked open and Lily walked in.Her boots trailed in snow from the porch and she spread it around the door mat like a careless child.Her face fell the moment she spotted me and Vanessa together. It was almost like she knew wh

Chapter: CRIMINAL, MURDERER, LIAR"Miss, you're under arrest for robbery and vandalism," an officer said as he clasped handcuffs around my wrists.They dug into my wrists like metal teeth as the officer yanked me out of the gallery, past a growing crowd of whispering guests.I didn’t fight. I didn’t scream.I just walked.I was too shocked to do anything. I had been stunned into silence and somehow this immense level of betrayal had silenced me completely.I kept my eyes on the floor. Humiliation burning like acid through every inch of me."Bloody thief," Lily spat as she shook her head in disappointment.I was forced into the car like a common criminal. I wasn't given a chance to defend myself or explain. Everyone had just assumed the worst of me.When we got to the station, they didn’t even ask for my side of the story.They just threw me in a chair, shoved a paper in front of me, and instructed me to sign it.“You either pay for the vase or you’ll be charged to court," an officer said.I blinked at him, my voice ho

Chapter: THE LIAR AND THE MANIPULATORLily moved in a few days after I had found her and Vanessa tangled up in each other.Just like that.No warning or discussion, it was almost like my opinion about her moving in wasn't even needed.Vanessa thought it was quite spontaneous and Lily wanted to be closer to her but I knew better.She was here to watch me.To control me and make sure I didn't spill her not so little secret to Vanessa.Everywhere I turned, Lily was there. Initiating sex at the most random times, kissing Vanessa’s cheek or moaning her name out loud. Holding her hand. Sitting on her lap like she owned her. It was like a performance tailored for me.And it was working.It made me sick. It was bad enough that I had to see her at work but she had managed to crawl her way into my sanctuary.I kept my distance from her and Vanessa.I said nothing about her and Robert.Not because I was afraid, but because I didn’t know how to protect Vanessa without breaking her heart to pieces.~Vanessa’s birthday was on the last

Ruining my Billionaire High School Bully
"It’s not just a deal. It’s an opportunity. I’m offering you a way out of all the bullshit—"
"By tying myself to you forever?" I laughed bitterly, the absurdity of the situation hitting me. "No, thanks."
Ethan’s jaw clenched, his calm demeanor faltering for the first time. "It’s not forever. It’s just... a few years. Until we both get what we need. Then we can go our separate ways. You’ll have power, money, and respect."
I stared at him, incredulous. "You’re insane. You're offering me marriage just so I wouldn't expose you for being a vile and evil man"
His voice dropped and his expression darkened, "How much do you want?."

Madison Taylor never expected to see Ethan King again—the arrogant high school golden boy who made her life a living hell. But years later, fate throws them together when she takes a job at his billion-dollar company.

Now, Ethan is desperate to keep his past buried and offers Madison a $30 million contract to marry him and protect his spotless reputation.

But as their contract marriage unfolds, so do feelings neither expected. Caught between revenge and undeniable attraction, Madison must decide: will she ruin the man who once broke her, or fall for him all over again?

Chapter: SIXTYThe King's boardroom was a lot colder than it usually was.Ethan stood before the long mahogany. Even though he looked confident, it was very obvious he was tense as hell. The board members looked very uninterested and seeing me tucked away in the back made things worse.“I know I failed,” Ethan began, his voice steady though his hands clenched at his sides. “I lost sight of the company. I let personal mistakes interfere with business. But this company is more than a crown jewel. It’s my family’s legacy. And I’m asking—no, begging—for the chance to make it right.”A wave of whispers spread down the table. One of the investors, an older man in his late seventies, spoke first. “You expect us to forget the chaos you caused? The scandal? The investors who pulled out because of your reckless behavior?”I swallowed hard, feeling nervous on Ethan’s behalf.“I don’t expect you to forget,” Ethan said. His eyes flicked to the floor for a moment, then lifted again. “I expect you to hold me accou

Chapter: FIFTY-NINEEthan’s house was extremely quiet and peaceful. For the first time in days, I felt like I could breathe again. Ethan had doubled the guards and all our court and medical activities were carried out at home.Ethan never left my side and seeing how he was so passionate about baby Maxwell made me feel bad that he would forever be denied the ability to be his father.The house was peaceful as always until screaming started at the gates.A shrill, hysterical voice, demanding to be let in.I immediately recognised it as Samantha’s.She stumbled into the living room minutes later, her hair wild, lipstick smeared, she looked like a crackhead.Her eyes darted around until they landed on me and the found the baby in my arms.Her face twisted. “You!”Before I could react, her slim fingers made contact with my cheek, the loud slap echoing through the room.I staggered back, clutching my child to my chest.But before she could strike again, Ethan stepped in. He yanked her wrist mid-air, shoving he

Chapter: FIFTY-EIGHT I sat still on the balcony, my hands trembling as my mind spiralled with thoughts of my baby.My poor baby had been dragged into a mess he knew nothing about.Eleanor was such a monster. What kind of human being would deny a baby of his mother in his first few days? My mind was plagued with the possible worst case scenarios but I forced myself to remain sane.Harry had promised to help. He said he had friends that could track down Eleanor and find my baby. I clung to that hope like my life depended on it, maybe because it did.After hours of waiting, Harry finally informed me we were going to meet his friends. I almost leaped for joy and I rushed to the car before he could even finish instructing his staff.We drove out of the mansion and headed towards the old docks. I felt a sudden unease but I pushed the though back. Harry was my friend and he would never hurt me.We drove in absolute silence until we arrived in front of an old warehouse.My stomach dropped. “Harry?” I called to h

Chapter: FIFTY-SEVEN ~Maddy's POVWork had become my sanctuary.After everything I had faced, I threw myself into my new role like a possessed woman. Maybe I was. Maybe survival and revenge lived side by side in me now.And it paid off.Within months, I had helped the company close deals that had been sitting stagnant for years. I had caught the attention of global investors. For the first time in a long time, I was seen for my mind and not for who I was married to or pretending to be married to.I smiled more. I slept better. I carried life inside me and, oddly, I felt more powerful than ever.So when we signed one of the biggest international deals of the year, it didn’t surprise me that the office threw a celebration in my honour.This was literally my first social even since moving here and unfortunately my baby didn't plan on being a part of the celebrations.While giving an impromptu speech, the first wave of pain hit me in my lower abdomen.It was sharp, and kepr radiating across my back.I held th

Chapter: FIFTY-SIX~EthanThe plain white hospital walls and the strong smell of antiseptics stopped disturbing me after spending several days in the hospital.Even the constant beeping of machines has stopped annoying me and the only thing that bothered me was my son’s cries. When they came, they were weak and wheezy. When they didn’t come, the silence felt like a scary death sentence.Samantha hadn’t held him in hours.She just lay on the bed, passed out again, her wrist IV line tangled and her mascara still smeared from last night’s meltdown.I sat by the incubator, gently brushing the baby’s arm with my finger through the hole in the glass.He was so tiny and fragile. Like a porcelain doll someone dropped before wrapping.But I didn't care, he was my son and even if it turned out he wasn't, he was innocent and I would never use his mother's sins against him.I would spend every penny to make sure he survived the catastrophe his mother had caused him.Her cocaine abuse hadn’t been a secret.I had not

Chapter: FIFTY-FIVE I stared at the email for a long time, wondering what evil I had done to Eleanor to deserve this level of sabotage.The second company followed suit shortly after, then the third till the fifteenth.Every door that had been open just a day ago was now slamming shut.I was being blackballed.And worse, my apartment was no longer safe. I would come home to find my things slightly moved, a coffee mug placed on the wrong shelf, windows unlocked that I knew I had closed. One evening, I found my underwear drawer raided, and a single red rose lying atop my clothes.I couldn't breathe.I couldn't sleep.I was pregnant, alone and under siege.And so, after one last sleepless night of pacing and triple-locking every door, I packed a suitcase and left New York.I booked a one-way ticket under a fake name and disappeared before Eleanor could play her next card.I didn’t know where I was going. Only that I needed to get far enough away that no one could reach me.Not Eleanor or Samantha or even Et
