Avery’s life was never her own. Forced into a marriage contract to save her family’s fortune, she becomes the unwilling wife of James Blackwood — a man who only ever loved her sister, Sadie. James’s hatred for Avery runs deep. He blames her for a childhood accident, believing she abandoned him to drown. Now, trapped in a loveless marriage, he punishes her for sins she never committed, breaking her piece by piece while longing for the sister he couldn’t have. Betrayed by her blood, discarded by her husband, and suffocated by a life she never chose, Avery is left to wither in silence. But even flowers bloom in the darkest corners of a cage. Because hate sharpens like a blade, and when the truth finally shatters the lies between them — when James realizes he’s been destroying the wrong sister — Avery won’t be the broken girl he once tormented. She’ll be something far more dangerous. And by the time he discovers the truth… will it be too late? Find out in this thrilling story.

ARRANGED TO BE BILLIONAIRE'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE Chapter 5: You will not break.
Avery’s POVMy feet moved one numb step after another, while I held the towel around my body. Behind me came the rustle of sheets and Sadie’s whisper.I kept walking till I heard the door click shut behind me. I made it halfway down the corridor before the ache between my thighs reminded me exactly why I was moving so carefully.The guest bathroom was at the end of the wing. I pushed inside, locked the door, and leaned against it.That was when I broke.A sob escaped before I could stop it. I slapped my hand over my mouth, but another one followed. My legs folded beneath me, and I ended up on the tile floor with the towel slipping around my waist.I hated that I was crying. James had never hidden where his heart belonged. Sadie had always occupied that place, and I had known exactly what I walked into when I became his wife.My life had become a joke. Imagine being hated by your so-called husband, your dad treating you like shit, and to top it all, your husband is in love with your

James POVAvery stormed out of the room, her shoulders tense, but her chin held high like she was trying to keep the last fragments of her pride intact. I stayed where I was, sinking further into the couch, gripping the glass of whiskey like it was my lifeline.Watching her leave didn’t make me feel better. If anything, it made the frustration brewing inside me more potent.I knocked back the whiskey, letting the burn distract me. But as the alcohol warmed my throat, the memories came rushing in. Memories I wished I could drown for good.I thought about Avery, about how much she’d changed. Or maybe she hadn’t. Maybe I was just too blind back then to see her for what she was. My mind drifted back to that day years ago, the day everything shattered.I was drowning. I could still feel the icy grip of the lake pulling me under, water rushing into my lungs as I struggled to stay afloat. I thought Avery, the girl I trusted with everything, would save me.She was standing there, watching, fr

Avery's POV I woke up in darkness, the ache in my body an unrelenting reminder of last night. My thighs throbbed, and a sharp soreness radiated from deep inside me. For a moment, I lay still, trying to grasp the reality around me. The bed was cold and empty except for me. I reached out to the other side, hoping to feel James' warmth or even his presence, but my hand met nothing but a cold sheet. He was gone. As I sat up, the sound of the sheets rustling and my breath felt too loud, too intrusive. My gown was in tatters, the shredded fabric scattered across the floor.Seeing it made something inside me crack. I felt broken, humiliated, and stripped bare—not just of my clothing, but of my dignity. Memories of how he forcefully had his way with me filled my head, the way he ignored my pleas and took away my virginity without a second thought.I bit my lip to stop the tears, but they came anyway, hot and silent. My chest heaved as I tried to steady my breathing. Crying felt useless,

The city lights stretched out before me, blinking and alive, but none of it brought me peaceMy grip on the cold metal railing tightened, the sharp edge pressing into my palms as though the pain could ground me. It didn’t. Anger bubbled inside me, threatening to explode, but I held it in, just barely. My entire life had been turned upside down, and there was no one to blame but my grandfather. He’d orchestrated everything like a grand chess game, moving pieces without care for the lives he ruined in the process.I should have been with Sadie. Sadie, with her bright smile and warm laughter.
