The Billion-Dollar Secret
Arya stealthily walks towards her boyfriend’s room in the middle of her room with a cake in her hand – it’s his birthday, and she wants to make sure she is the first person to wish him a happy birthday.
Arya, believing her presence is going to be the only surprise, is met with a bigger shock when she finds her boyfriend in bed with not just any other woman, but her stepsister.
When Arya’s family gives her the ultimate betrayal by being on the side of her stepsister and arranging a quick marriage with the son of a bankrupt businessman for their selfish benefit, she is left with nothing but the broken pieces of her heart to mend, she is let in on a secret being kept by her husband, and things start to fall into place.
When her family turns around and tries to convince her to do their bidding, Arya makes sure to exact her revenge on every one of them.
But her family is not one to give up on what they want, and they will do anything to get Arya’s husband on their side – including putting Arya’s life on the line.

Chapter: CHAPTER 4ARYA“What…”The rest of Jaxon’s question dissipated into the air as I got up from my seat and rushed out of the restaurant, taking a taxi and blurting out the name of the hospital.I dialed my mother’s number, over and over, but there was no reply. I tried to prevent myself from crying, but stray tears were already finding their way out of my eyes in the backseat of the taxi.“No, he can’t be dead.” I shook my head. “He’s not dead.”As I got to the hospital, I paid the taxi driver without waiting for the change. I burst into the hospital, stopped by one of the nurses who kept asking me what was wrong.“My brother… I want to see my brother,” I rambled as tears now flooded my face.I was led to my brother’s room, where my mother sat, stroking his hair.“Leave us,” my mother told the nurse, and she did as told.I walked towards my brother with a confused face. My mother stood up and walked towards me.“Arya,” she called, pulling me aside.“He’s not dead,” she pointed out. “Why did you t

Chapter: CHAPTER 3ARYAI withdrew my hands from my mother’s hold, frowning in nothing but disgust and shock.“Arya,” she called out in a warning tone. “Do not cause a scene.”Even I didn’t want to cause a scene, so I turned around and walked out of the reception hall.“Arya!” Mom called out to me, catching up to me and holding my hand again. “Please don’t do this to me. He’s a good man. His name is Jaxon, and he’s in the reception hall now. If you could just—”“Forget the man for a second.” I waved her suggestion aside. “Let’s talk about how you just called me a murderer. You just… Oh, my God! Mom, you should know just how much guilt I have dealt with over this. I can’t believe you’re trying to manipulate me.”“That’s not what this is at all—”“It’s exactly what it is! First, you all plan this whole wedding without telling me, and I still don’t believe it’s real even after witnessing it, and now you’re trying to sell me off as Rose’s replacement by going as far as telling me that I killed my own father

Chapter: CHAPTER 2ARYAI looked from my mother to David to Rose, and back to my mother; I was waiting for one of them to double over in laughter at how I had fallen for their prank.Nobody was laughing. Nobody was calling me stupid and naive for believing a lie as outrageous as that.“What…? What do you mean Brian and Rose are getting married in two weeks?” I chuckled, fresh tears heating my eyes up as I waited for something; anything; that would hint at this being a large and expensive joke. Perhaps Brian could even pop out of my closet and announce that it was all a joke, and I wouldn’t even be angry about it.“You will attend the wedding with us, and you will congratulate them without causing a scene,” Mom informed, drilling the information to me so painfully slow like I was a child with comprehension difficulties, and that triggered me even more.I wanted to scream on top of my lungs and ask them if they had all gone crazy, but I had neither the courage nor the strength for it.“This has been goin

Chapter: CHAPTER 1ARYAThe cake I was holding in my hands fell out of them, plopping to the ground, as I opened the door to my boyfriend’s bedroom in the middle of the night to find him sleeping with my stepsister.“Brian,” I called out to him, my voice wavering as I teared up at the sight.“Arya,” he said back, both of them pulling away from each other and hiding their nude bodies under the sheets. “What are you doing here?”“Seriously?” I frowned, not quite sure which one of them to look at in that moment; which person whose betrayal pained me more. “That’s your question. What am I doing here? Why are you… oh, my God!”I turned around and slammed the door as hard as I could as I left the room, walking away.If I hadn’t gone to get a cake to celebrate his birthday in a desperate attempt to be the first person to wish him a happy birthday, I wouldn’t have known that my boyfriend was sleeping with my stepsister. I started to wonder if it was better if I didn’t have to find out, or if it was for the best
