Forced to marry a Ruthless Billionaire „The Sacrificial Pawn ”
James had spent the entire morning preparing. Unbeknownst to me, he had bought a beautiful bouquet, secured a ring, and built a quiet, joyous hope for our future. We had agreed to meet at our usual spot by the water later that morning. At 9:00 AM, I pulled a simple dress from my closet, moving like a ghost. As I drove to the pier, I tried to compose myself, taking deep, shuddering breaths. From a distance, I saw him waiting on the deck of the boat. The moment he spotted me, his face broke into a radiant, unguarded smile. The morning breeze tugged at my hair as I walked toward him, but my soul felt completely hollow. "Come on! Come here, sit down," he called out eagerly, patting the seat beside him. As I approached, I saw the beautiful, elaborate breakfast spread he had prepared for us. My chest tightened with a suffocating agony. He had planned a surprise, and I was about to destroy him. "James, I need to.....” "Irene, please. Let me speak first this morning," he interrupted gent

My courage held strong, and James finally quieted. I stayed with him long into the night, the two of us retreating to our favorite spot by the water, wrapped in the safety of the dark. He pleaded with me not to run away from him again, and in return, I opened up. I shared small, fragile truths about my father and my family, trying especially to warn him about my mother, hoping to prepare him for the sheer force of her personality. "My mom is always like that," I explained gently. "You'll just have to get used to her. Honestly, I was even planning to invite you over to our place for dinner soon." He looked surprised, but then his expression hardened into fierce determination. He told me he needed to work harder, to secure a future where he could take care of me so I would never have to worry. "James, I don't need anyone but you," I whispered, smiling up at him. "Do you really want to go with me?" he asked, his voice thick with sincerity. "I will follow you anywhere," I replied wit

I gripped the steering wheel, my knuckles white, as I speed through the city. I kept hitting redial, listening to the phone ring before it was abruptly sent to voicemail. Over and over. James was hanging up on me. Panic clawed at my chest, thick and suffocating. I knew exactly how badly I had disappointed him, how it must have looked. Desperate, I drove to our regular spot a quiet pier overlooking the water. My heart leaped when I saw his silhouette against the railing. I rushed out of the car, practically tripping over my own feet, and started apologizing the moment I was in earshot. But he didn't even turn to look at me. His face was set in stone, his jaw locked. He offered me nothing. No anger, no forgiveness. Just a cold, unbearable silence. "Alright, you're angry at me," I pleaded, my voice trembling. "It’s alright that you are. But the truth is, a really stupid situation happened, James. I just didn't want you to collide with it." He finally turned to face me, his eyes blaz

I was in my studio, breathing heavily as I stepped back from the canvas. The air smelled of oil paint and turpentine. Wiping a streak of color from my hands, I reached for my ringing phone. It was him. "Hello, Irene! I was just about to call you," James chuckled, his voice instantly warming my chest. "Go ahead, my love," I smiled, holding the phone tight against my ear. "No, you speak first," he insisted gently. "Alright. Today, I want to introduce you to my brother. Would you be up for it?" "Your brother?" The surprise in his voice quickly melted into warmth. "Of course. I would love to." "That’s wonderful! So, what were you going to say?" A heavy silence fell over the line. When he finally spoke, his voice was unnervingly quiet, as if a sudden weight had dropped onto his shoulders. "I'll... I'll tell you when I see you." "Okay..." I said, trying to ignore the sudden flutter of anxiety in my stomach. "In that case, can you meet us at the restaurant in an hour?" "Does it hav

The music had carried me away, plunging me immensely into a river of warmth and love. But the peace was shattered in a second. A harsh, violent noise erupted from downstairs. I snapped my laptop shut, my heart leaping into my throat. It sounded like a vicious argument. Driven by a cold spike of dread, I stepped out of my room to see what was happening."Never in my life have I heard such a sickening suggestion!" my dad roared, his voice echoing off the vaulted ceilings."Richard, dear, please calm down," Mom pleaded, her tone dripping with a forced, placating warmth.I crept to the edge of the staircase, peering down into the living room. Dad's face was flushed with pure, unadulterated fury. His muscles were violently tense."You think we can bargain on this topic? Is that it?" Dad snarled."Richard, please!" Mom kept begging, but Dad’s voice only grew louder, drawing the attention of the maids and Charles, who hurried into the room to s

I sat in the living room with my family, trying to find my footing in a tense, suffocating conversation. My parents were discussing the fate of our company—which ultimately meant discussing the fate of my future."I just don't understand this sudden trip to London," Dad muttered, aggressively rubbing his temples. "Why is he stalling the deal now? Especially after they've already agreed to all of our conditions."He let out a heavy sigh, his shoulders slumping as he detailed the grueling negotiations he’d endured. "I’m entirely in the dark. This guy is a scoundrel. He's playing games with me, trying to bleed us dry so he can take the company free of charge. I simply don't see any other explanation."My heart ached at the sight of him. He sounded so bewildered, so unwilling to keep fighting. The sheer exhaustion on his face pushed me to step in, desperate to offer him some shred of assurance."Then don't sell the company to him, Dad," I urged softly
