On her eighteenth birthday, Sabrina's life is stolen from her. She was sold into marriage to Scott Wendell, a ruthless and powerful billionaire more than twice her age. A man she's never met. A man who claimed her as payment for a debt she never owed But the real problem wasn't the vows she took or the marriage document she signed. It's his son. The revelation that Ace Wendell, the one boy in school that she's always fantasized about, the boy she's secretly loved from afar, is now her stepson. Now living under the same roof, Sabrina finds herself torn between duty to her marriage and the dangerous pull toward the stepson who has wanted her just as desperately.

I was confused at first as to why he wanted us to make that stop. I hesitated a bit until I told the driver to do as Ace had said. A few minutes later, we arrived at one of Ace's friends' houses. He was also a senior at school. Michael. I recognized him. He played football with Ace. Also, I forgot to mention that Ace was a football captain at school. Michael welcomed us into the house. Served us some chilled lemonade as we made ourselves comfortable in his living room. Michael's parent had traveled out of the country for their weekend couple getaway, leaving Michael home alone with his six-year-old brother, Robin. “Hey, man. What’s up?” Michael said as he shook hands with Ace. “Who’s the pretty lady with you today?” I smiled. “I’m—” “He wasn’t you, was he?” Ace cut in, turning to me with a smirk on his face. “This is Sabrina.” “Oh!
Unable to stop Ace from coming with me, I went up to my room and changed. Mary had already received instructions from my husband. She was also handed a black card to give to me, in which I will use to pay for anything I want. Upon leaving, Ace pulled me aside again, asking that I tell Mary to stay back. “And why should I do that?” I asked. “I want us to use this opportunity to know each other better, and what better time to do so than when we’re alone?” he chuckled, stepping closer to me. “Go tell her it’ll just be the two of us.” “And what if she says no—” “There’s no way she would say no. You are her boss, and she is meant to listen and do whatever you ask her to do,” he cut in. “Well, not like you did,” I muttered. Ace walked over to the car while I went back inside, stopping Mary, who was about to step outside. “Mary, I was thinking maybe Ace, and I went on this spree alone,” I said in a soft tone. “Just you two alone?” she asked as expected. “Yes. If he’s going to be my
A few moments later, breakfast was over. Ace had returned back to his room. The maids had come in to clean the table, but as I stood to leave, Scott pulled me back. “I never got to ask,” he smiled. “How did you sleep?” I forced a smile. “I slept really well, thanks for asking.” He nodded slowly. “You’re welcome.” He stood up, still holding my arms gently as we walked side by side until we were at the stunning backyard. “This place is perfect,” I said, my eyes widening. “Really? You like it?” he asked. “I love it,” I replied with a huge smile on my face. “Can I look around?” “Of course, you can. It’s your house.” “Oh, thank you,” I said as I walked out. The backyard was so stunning, it looked like something that was painted in a magical fairytale book and was brought to life. By the time I walked back to Scott, he was already seated on a chair close to the large pool. “Come,” he said, “sit beside me.” I walked slowly towards him and sat beside him just as he had asked.

I didn’t think I’d be waking up in my husband’s house this early, considering my age, but here I was. In the most beautiful house I’ve ever laid my eyes on, enjoying the peace and quiet of the Sunday morning. But that wasn’t all I was excited about. Last evening, Mary had assured me that I would meet Ace today, but before we could talk more about him, Scott had walked in, she left, and I was all alone with my husband, for the very first time. I turned to the side, but Scott wasn’t on the bed. So, I exhaled softly, but my chest still felt tight because no matter how I tried, I couldn’t shake the memory of last night. Scott walked in, and Mary excused us. He walked slowly towards me, one hand in his pocket and the other running through his hair. I sat cross-legged on the bed. My heart pounding loudly in my chest. When he finally got closer to me, he sat at the edge of the bed, his eyes locked on mine. “You are a beautiful girl, Sabrina,” he murmured. His deep voice sent shivers down
Hi, I’m Sabrina. I just turned eighteen, and I’m already on my way to meet my mystery husband. Yes, you heard me right. I am married. Years before I was born, my late Father took a loan from Mr. Scott, a business tycoon, to save his struggling business, but it ultimately failed, leaving my dad with a debt of twenty million dollars, minus interest. Unable to pay the money and face Mr. Scott, my father died, leaving my mother, who was already pregnant with me at that time. Mr. Scott remained adamant and refused to let the money go. So, the day my mother gave birth to me, he came to her and said, “If you can’t raise twenty million dollars before your daughter’s eighteenth birthday, I will come and take her as my bride.” My mother agreed, hoping to pay back before I turned eighteen. But life unfortunately doesn’t work that way. Now, here I am on my way to my husband’s house. I didn’t know about this arrangement for years until my birthday, and even though it breaks my heart for me t
