MasukI was randomly proposed to by an attractive billionaire who has never been known to be in any kind of relationship; he was every woman's dream man. He wasn’t just any incredibly handsome billionaire; he was New Yorks most eligible, and most fantasised-about billionaire bachelor. So when he asked me to marry him out of the blue, without even knowing my last name, I couldn’t say no. Any woman would have jump at the chance if she were in my place at that moment. But little did I know that my living hell was about to begin. Despite living in luxury, having access to money I had run out of ideas on how to spend, and being the wife of Aldwin Ellison, the insanely handsome billionaire whom influential women had clung to in the hope of being his, I still felt unloved and unhappy.. In his eyes, the only thing I was good for was satisfying his dark sexual desires; I was only meant to please him, not receive love. Determined to end my misery, I filed for a divorce unaware that the marriage contract I signed with Aldwin had a hidden clause: “The marriage comes to an end If, and only when, Aldwin Ellison says so.” I had signed away my rights to becoming his plaything.
Lihat lebih banyakA Year LaterA year had passed, easily and swiftly, as if the ruckus of many months ago had never happened — a year I thought could have gone wrong, that it could have led to disaster after Ralph took me and Zane with him, and afterwards paid an unexpected visit to Aldwin, leaving him with a threat to not just himself but to the empire he holds so dear.I had prepared my mind for the worst that could happen, even if the peace didn't last. But here we are a year later — longer than I had expected — with more peace and tranquillity than I had ever imagined.We had recently moved to Ralph's villa in Moldova. It was our third time moving to a new country within a year. Ralph never made it a habit of staying in one place for too long. We lived a holiday life — one I had only imagined when I was with Aldwin.Each morning felt better than the last, with Ralph's pampering and attention, waking me up with kisses that left no doubt about his intentions. We were having the time of our lives, and
Aldwin felt his hatred and disgust rise like bile in his throat. This man had slept with his wife, fathered a child he had raised, and now stood in his office making threats. And then the thought of Zane surfaced, unbidden and painful."If you think you can waltz in here to lay claim to what doesn't belong to you, think again," Aldwin warned."Claim on what exactly?" Ralph asked. Then his expression shifted as realisation dawned. "Oh, you mean Zane? He is very much my son, and there's nothing you can do about that.""Don't you dare mention his name."Aldwin rushed forward, his fist aimed at Ralph's face. But Ralph was faster. He caught Aldwin's arm, twisted it behind his back, and held him in place. Aldwin groaned in pain, but Ralph paid no attention to his cries.The elevator doors chimed, and Ray walked in with a shocked expression.One look at Ralph and he recognised him. Ray quickly reached into his suit jacket, pulled out a gun, and pointed it at Ralph.Ralph didn't flinch. He sl
Meanwhile, before Aldwin could figure out that Zane and Kora were missing, Ralph decided to pay him an unexpected visit. He knew how much Aldwin disliked such visits, but he wasn't there to be pleasant.He finished copying the files onto the hard drive and left for Imperial Holdings headquarters. Nothing gave Ralph more joy than the thought of taking Kora away from Aldwin. He didn't deserve her, dammit.***Aldwin's OfficeLizzy's voice sounded through the intercom on Aldwin's desk. "Sir, there's someone here to see you. He doesn't have an appointment, but he insists."Aldwin didn't look up from the papers he was reviewing. "I'm not receiving any guests without an appointment. Send him away."There was a pause, and then Lizzy spoke again. "Sir, he said you would want to see him. He said he's someone you've been searching for."Aldwin's hand stopped moving. His pen hovered above the document, and his brow shot up at the impossibility of who he imagined. Ralph? No. It couldn't be. His m
Zane agreed before leaving my room. As we drove out of the mansion, I spotted the obsidian SUV Ray and Aldwin had driven in earlier. My heart skipped a hundred beats as it approached us. Why was he back already? Did he suspect that something was off? "Mother," Zane called. "Stay calm. Don't give them anything to dwell on," I said while maintaining a fixed expression myself. The obsidian SUV came to a halt in the tracks just as it got closer. The driver's window rolled down, and Ray exchanged a glance between me and Zane. I flashed him a smile while Zane didn't look up from his phone. "Pleasant morning, Ray," I said in a casual tone. "Good morning, Mrs Ellison," Ray returned the greeting. I was looking forward to the back window rolling down too, but nothing. Out of curiosity, I asked. "Why are you back this early?" "Mr Aldwin asked me to pick up a file he left behind," Ray explained. "Oh," I said, only realising that Aldwin was not in the car. I sighed in relief. "Alright th
Lisa stood at the door, ready to attack whoever was trying to break in. She gripped a six-inch stiletto, its pointed heels raised high in a perfect attack pose. “What in the world are you doing? Are you trying to kill me?” I asked, still in shock. She had already swung the heels the moment I open
Somebody wake me up if I'm dreaming. Me? Wife to Aldwin Ellison? And who says dreams don't come true? Even though I never dreamt of becoming his wife, I only wanted a single entry in his little black book of pleasure. We stood outside the bar, and he still held my hand, taking glances between me a
Aldwin’s gaze found me. The serious conversation was broken. His eyes pinned me to a spot for a few seconds, then his friend leaned in, whispering something close to his ear. He gave a nod, then his gaze broke from me, and they continued their conversation. I felt a sudden chill. I had screamed f
I finally had a day off, and I was determined to waste it perfectly. I was going to meet Ralph for the first time in several months since we had stopped talking after I had turned him down. He had recently replied to one of my countless messages, and we agreed to meet up. I felt guilty that our fri
