Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place
I looked up, desperation rising in my chest. With no way to repay the debt, begging was all I had left.
“Please... give me a year. I’ll pay back the loan. I just need time to find—”
“No. There is no time,” he cut in, his voice calm but final.
“You have only one choice,” he said. “Marry me—since you didn’t bring the money to clear your family’s debts.”
My throat went dry as I stared at him.
“It’s simple. Marry me for one year. That’s the deal. You want your mother out of jail? You want your father not to join her after getting out of that hospital bed? This is how.”

Chapter: CHAPTER 117.Sylvester’s POV.I hadn’t been able to sleep in days. Every morning blurred into night, and every hour in between was a slow crawl of silence and dread. The house was too quiet. Natasha’s absence pressed in on me like a tight space, stealing the air from my lungs. She wasn’t answering her phone. Not a single reply to all the messages I had sent, even though I had sent so many. I kept staring at my screen, hoping for just a Hi, anything at all to show that she was still there.My assistant had been quick to find out where she was. He told me she had taken a leave from work and was at her parents’ house. That gave me some relief, knowing she was safe. But it didn’t answer the question burning in my chest—why had she left? Why without a word?I sent my assistant to go speak to her and try to talk on my behalf. He came back later, shaking his head, saying she refused to see him or take anything from him. That was when I started to panic.It didn’t make sense. None of it did. The last

Chapter: CHAPTER 116.Jenna’s POV.I sat on the couch with my legs pulled to my chest, the remote loosely hanging from my fingers as I watched the news loop over and over again. Footage of the crash. The fire. The frantic emergency response. And then, Sylvester’s picture next to a bold headline that declared him under investigation. The reporter’s voice droned on, but I wasn’t really listening anymore.The moment I had waited for had arrived.It was everything Henry promised would happen. Sylvester’s car launch had been a complete disaster. The car malfunctioned during the demonstration, and the employee driving it didn’t make it out alive. The media was tearing into him. The company’s board had gone silent, and the shareholders were in chaos. And Sylvester? He was on house arrest, being painted as careless and negligent.It was exactly what we had planned.Still, as I turned off the television and sat in the silence of my apartment, I didn’t feel the rush of satisfaction I thought I would. I had told m

Chapter: CHAPTER 115.Natasha’s POV.I had never seen the house this silent before. My parents’ place used to carry the warmth of early morning coffee, my mother’s voice humming softly from the kitchen, and my father’s feet dragging over the floor as he made his way to the porch with a newspaper tucked under his arm. But now, there was only quiet. The type that echoed.I hadn’t told anyone I was coming here. I just needed space. A place where I didn’t have to pretend that I was fine, where I could curl up and not worry about expectations or explanations. Dr Andrew had helped me file for a temporary leave from work when I later went to the hospital to ask for an urgent temporary leave and I appreciated that he didn’t press me for reasons. He had asked me gently if I was okay, and I gave a vague nod. That was the most I could manage.After my return from the hospital, I spent most of my time sitting by the window in the guest room. It used to be mine before I moved out. The sheets still smelled faintly

Chapter: CHAPTER 114.Sylvester’s POV.I sat in the same position for what felt like hours over the counter in the police station, answering the same questions from different officers. My throat was dry. My palms wouldn't stop sweating. I kept repeating myself because there was nothing else to say. The car had been checked. Double-checked. I had signed off on it myself. The system had run without a glitch during trials. I didn’t know how it failed. I really didn’t.They asked about the mechanics, the team, the software, and the maintenance records. I gave them everything I had. I even offered my phone, my emails, anything that could help prove I wasn’t careless. Because that’s what they were circling—neglect. Sabotage wasn’t their first guess. But I knew in my gut that this wasn’t an accident. Something had gone wrong, the words Henry had said were still in my mind, I suspected he had something to do with what happened and I had no idea how to prove it.Eventually, one of the officers returned with news

Chapter: CHAPTER 113.Natasha’s POV.I sat on the edge of the bed, clutching the phone like it was the only thing holding me together. My fingers trembled as I dialed Sylvester’s number again. It rang, again and again, until it stopped. No answer. I tried once more. Still nothing.My heart pounded in my chest, so loudly it felt like it echoed through the silence of the room. Each passing second without a reply only deepened the knot in my stomach. I didn’t want to believe it. I needed him to pick up and tell me it wasn’t true. That I hadn’t seen what I thought I saw. Jenna was lying. That the images in my head, the ones keeping me frozen and breathless, were all some horrible mistake.I called one more time.The line clicked. I shot up, hope flooding my chest.“Hello?” I breathed out, barely able to form the word.But it wasn’t his voice.It was hers.“Natasha,” Jenna said softly, her voice smooth, almost taunting. “Why are you taking his call?” I asked, feeling nervous.“He’s still asleep.

Chapter: CHAPTER 112.Sylvester’s POV.The venue was already buzzing by the time I pulled up. I could hear the distant echo of voices, cameras flashing, and someone calling my name even as I slammed the car door shut. I didn’t have the energy to respond. My mind was only on the launch. This was the moment everything changed. The moment I would be proving I wasn’t just the man who failed last time. My phone buzzed somewhere in the car, but I left it behind. I couldn’t afford distractions right now. Whatever it was could wait.I handed the car keys to Jenna as I stepped out without looking her in the eye as she approached me. She took them quietly, gave a slight nod, and walked off toward the service area. I didn’t ask what she was thinking. I didn’t care. I straightened my jacket and walked inside. The hall was sleek and wide, all chrome and glass, the type of space that made even the most ordinary man feel like he belonged to something futuristic. People gathered in clusters, talking into microphones,

He wants the throne and the treasure, and he'll stop at nothing to get it." Jake's mind raced with questions and emotions. He felt betrayed, angry, and hurt. But he knew he had to stay focused and get to the bottom of this. "Who is your father?" Jake demanded, his voice firm but controlled. May hesitated, fear in her eyes. "My father is...Alpha Ryker." Jake's eyes narrowed. "The same Alpha Ryker who was banished from our pack years ago?" May nodded, tears streaming down her face. "Yes, that's him. He's been seeking revenge ever since." Jake's grip on May's chains tightened. "You're coming with me, May. We're going to confront your father an

I'm here to give you a chance, who is behind all the things you had done to us?" Jake asked.May giggled."If you really want to get information from me, then you should torture me." May said, knowing that he cannot do anything to her since she is pregnant and a law in the pack had already protected pregnant women from getting any kind of punishment during their pregnancy.Jake, knowing he cannot do anything to do, barged out of the cell and went to the hospital.

Jacob said, and the Alpha immediately stopped laughing."Wait, you knew? Then why are you trying to protect her? For what?" The Alpha asked."Yes I know, and I want the child.

His Regret: Barren Ex-Wife Has A Baby
“Noo!!! This can't be happening!!” I screamed silently, my eyes shut tight, praying that the nightmare would dissipate when I opened them. But the cruel reality remained. Asher, my husband, held Theresa, my best friend, in his arms, his hands tenderly caressing her swollen belly. I felt my world shattering, my mind reeling in shock.
Minutes ticked by like an eternity as I lay there, unconscious, but Asher's concern wasn't for me – it was for his unborn child.

As I struggled to stand, my body felt weak, my mind racing with the betrayal. The memories of our three-year relationship, the two and a half years of supposed love, and the six months of deceit flooded my mind. It was too cruel to be true.

Chapter: BreakdownEthan’s POV.The first thought that came to my mind when I saw Alex in the daycare was that she had come to pick up her child just like me but when she started cleaning Stefan up, my perception changed.And it was affirmed when she confirmed she works in the daycare. Stefan must have given her ideas that was why she inquired if I was married which I quickly refuted. Stefan was my sister's kid but I had grown so attached to him that I regarded him as mine. Alex wasn't the only one who had asked if I was married because of Stefan, I had gotten those questions several times and it breaks my heart.Being reminded of how I lost my first girlfriend and fiancee was a pleasant experience at all. “You're not married?" She sounded like she doubted me. “Yeah, I’m not." Switching Stefan to my other arm, I said, “Actually, Stefan is my sister's kid but I had become so attached to him that I regard him as mine." I chuckled, watching as she nodded her head slowly. “Sorry for the misconception.

Chapter: A New Life.Alexandra's POV.Two months later.Pulling the crying child to myself, I struggled to keep feeding the other. “Oh sweetie, momma is coming soon okay." I cooed, trying to make the kid stop crying but it was to no avail. Hurriedly but carefully so the child I was feeding won't choke, I fed him and once I was done, I scooped the crying child into my hands, trying all I could to soothe him. Swirling around and singing some rhymes to him, I continued this way until he fell asleep. With a bright smile on my lips, I placed him on the cot before shifting my attention to the rest of the children who were playing. Work at the daycare was so tiring that each day when I returned home I would start aching all over but never for once did I complain about it.The kids here made me forget about the loss of my child.Just as he has said, the coordinator back at the foundation gave me a job as a receptionist in a hotel but I quit after a week of working.

Chapter: Where do I go now?Alexandra's POV.For the first time in my life, I felt cornered. Up until now, I have already had everything I wanted effortlessly at my beck and call but not anymore. I was no longer the heiress of Scott Enterprise, neither was I the daughter of Edward Scott. Grabbing my duffel bag which held a little of my belongings, I stepped out of the premises and didn't stop walking despite having nowhere in mind to go. Father had given a strict warning that he didn't want to see me anywhere near his property. If he could disown me without batting his eyelids, handing me over to the police for trespassing was an easy task for him too. The look I was getting from passersby made my skin crawl.Without having to ask them, I knew they were wondering why a lady in a wedding gown was walking on the road and clutching a duffel bag. Before I would be accosted by anyone, I decided to change into something else and so without wasting any more time, I made my way to the public bathroom for the firs

Ethan broke the silence with an awkward chuckle but father didn't respond; instead, he fixed his gaze on me. What am I going to do now? — I questioned, my chest heavy with different thoughts threatening to take away my sanity as the tension in the room became even more thick. “You didn't take out the child like you made me believe." Father spoke for the first time with a voice barely above a whisper but I heard him clearly. The disappointment in his tone which was also laced with anger couldn't be missed too and for a moment, I felt life sipping out of me slowly. Gulping, I tried to speak but words refused to form. I was terrified to my bones.A few days ago, father had clearly told me there were dire consequences if I tried anything stupid; he wasn't bluffing ba

To make this marriage leave an indelible mark in the mind of all the guests he had invited, father had spent a fortune. By the time they were done with helping me prepare for my wedding, I wore a different look that made the smile on my lips broaden. “I'm so beautiful." I mumbled, checking out myself in the mirror while the ladies chuckled behind me. “I had only applied a little make up on your face, nothing else. You're already beautiful." The beautician complimented.So not to be left out, the fashion designer also chipped in her own compliment before they both left my room, leaving me to myself.

Chapter: What happened to the lights?Alexandra's POV.The moment the lights went off, there was chaos in the living room as everyone was speaking at the same time, unwilling to listen to what the next person had to say. Flashlights pooped out from all corners but it was not enough to illuminate the whole room, though it managed to cover some places. Looking around, I found my father speaking to a man and immediately after the man took his leave, he hit his palms together to get the attention of everyone present. With a loud and firm voice, he said, “I apologize for the inconveniences, we are going to fix the issue right away.” His words were able to placate the guests and the murmuring died down. Finally, the light was restored and the engagement ceremony continued in a full swing. At the end of it, I retired to my room. I had just stepped into my sleeping gown when I heard a knock and with no doubt, I was certain it was father on the other end. Staring at the door, I made no move towards it. "I know you are not
