Once A Doormat, Now A Famous Billionaire Heiress
"Notorious Bachelor Lucas Hart, 29, proposes to his first love and childhood sweetheart, Natalia Rossi!"
My heart broke as I saw the picture of Lucas proposing to Natalia on one knee, the same ring I found in his jacket pocket, in the photo being slid onto her finger. The camera zoomed in on Natalia’s face and a gasp escaped my lips. It was like staring at myself, but a thinner, sicklier version of me.
I picked up my phone and dialed a number I hadn’t called in three years.
"Bianca," My father’s voice answered, "To what do I owe this sudden call?"
"Dad," I said, "I accept. I will come back home for the arranged marriage and take back my inheritance."
***
Bianca Salvatore, heiress of the Salvatore empire ran away from home, trying to escape the marriage arranged by her father. She met Lucas who she dated for three years, until his first love returned. He never knew about her true identity, and always shamed her for being poor. He heartlessly announced that he would get married to his first love, then make Bianca his side piece.
Bianca didn’t want that life for herself, so she agreed to her father’s arranged marriage and took her inheritance. From being known as a poor pauper, to a famous billionaire heiress.
Now her ex is on his knees, begging for a second chance. Will Bianca risk her heart again for the man who shattered it, or will she choose the powerful husband who sees her true worth?

Chapter: Chapter 46B I A N C A"I am glad to hear that, Mr. Nakamura." I responded to him, my tone as neutral as I could make it. "But, unfortunately, I will have to reconsider our partnership. In light of recent events, I am afraid I cannot trust your company. You see, Mr. Nakamura, the problem with running back to the one you have wronged is that trust is a fragile thing. Once broken, it is very hard to mend."Mr. Nakamura's smile faltered. "Mrs. Moretti... Bianca... I assure you, I had no idea...""That you were dealing with a snake?" I finished for him. "I am sure you didn't. But that doesn't change the fact that you did. And I am not in the business of rewarding disloyalty. Perhaps you should have thought about the consequences before you aligned yourself with my enemy.""Good night, Mr. Nakamura," I said, turning my back on him, and linking my arm with Damian's.I gave him a curt nod and walked away, leaving him standing there, speechless."Nakamura?" Damian said, amused."A coward and a fool," I

From what I hear, they're quite pleased with the new management.""The new management?" Lucas let out a bitter laugh. "You mean your husband? Don't make me laugh. You're just a puppet. A pretty face Damian uses to get what he wants. He's using you, just like he's using this company."I refused to rise to the bait. I knew what he was doing. He was trying to get a reaction out of me. To make me look weak and emotional in front of everyone. But I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction."At least I'm not the one who had to resort to faking photos to get attention," I said, my voice like ice. "How pathetic."Lucas's face flushed with anger. "You have no idea what you're talking about. He's manipulating you. Can't you see? He's a monster.""And you're a sore loser," I shot back. "Now if you'll excuse us, we have a company to run."I turned my back on him, my head held high. Damian followed me

Chapter: Chapter 44B I A N C AThe ceremony was being held at the Hart Industries headquarters. The building was still Lucas's, but tonight, it would become mine.I stood in front of the full length mirror in my dressing room, my reflection staring back at me. I was wearing a floor length, emerald green gown that hugged my curves in all the right places. The color was a deliberate choice. It was the color of money. Of power. Of envy.My hair was swept up in an elegant chignon, showing off the long column of my neck. My makeup was flawless, a bold red lip that was a declaration of war. And on my face, not a single sign of a bruise. Not a hint of the vulnerability that Lucas had so cruelly fabricated.I looked like a queen. And tonight, I was going to claim my throne.There was a soft knock on the door."Come in," I said.Damian walked in, and my breath caught in my throat. He was wearing a custom tailored black tuxedo, a white shirt, and a black bow tie. He looked devastatingly handsome, a powerful preda

Chapter: Chapter 43B I A N C AThe morning light filtered through the curtains. I was alone in the bed. I sat up, the silk sheets pooling around my waist, there was a dull ache between my thighs a delicious reminder of last night.I could still smell him on the sheets.I felt shame and contentment at the same time. He had played me like a fiddle, and I had let him. I had confessed my deepest, most vulnerable secret, and he had used it. And it had been earth shattering.Eight hours of non stop love making and multiple orgasms later, my body was sore and tired, but I had never felt so alive. What had we done?It was more than just sex. It was more like a surrender. A total and complete surrender. And it scared the hell out of me. The cage was looking less like a prison, and that was the most terrifying thought of all.I got out of bed, my legs were unsteady, I wrapped a silk robe around myself. As I walked into the living room, I froze.Damian was there, standing by the window, wearing a perfectly tailo

That fucking bastard. He was already taking my company. And now he was going to take Bianca, for good."No," I said, my voice dangerously low. "I will not let that happen. Never.""You don't have a choice," Richard said, standing up. "The board has already voted. It's done, Lucas. You have been sued by all our shareholders and investors for your gross misconduct. Sign the papers, or face an even bigger public battle. The ball is in your court.""You’re all out of your minds!" I boomed, standing up too fast, my chair scraping against the floor. "You think he's a savior? He's a snake! He's playing you all!""We've weighed the risks, Lucas," Eleanor said calmly, her victory in her eyes. "The risk of keeping you is far greater than the risk of bringing him in. You are a liability. He is an asset.""You're making a m

Chapter: Chapter 41L U C A S"Fuck!" I threw the glass of whiskey against the wall, the liquid splashing across a painting my mother had gifted me. But, I couldn't care less about it.The glass shattered, the sound as violent as the anger coursing through my veins.I looked at the articles flying around, my entire life, my empire, crumbling around me, all thanks to one man.Damian Moretti.He had done this. The timing was too perfect. The evidence was too precise. This wasn't some random leak. This was a targeted strike. A declaration of war.My phone buzzed on the table. I ignored it. I knew who it was. My board. My investors. The vultures, circling to devour me.I walked to the window, looking out over the city lights. My city. A city I was on the verge of losing.My assistant walked into my office, carefully avoiding the broken glass on the floor."Mr. Hart," she said. "The board has called an emergency meeting right now. They're demanding answers.""Let them demand," I snarled, my back still to her
