Betrayal

Love after Marriage

Second Chance

Forgiveness

Venessa was always the picture of innocence—a sweet, gentle soul who never knew the dark truth that kept her alive. As a child, she was involved in a tragic accident that left another girl, Sophia, fighting for her life. But a powerful, heartless billionaire had a deal to make, one that would change everything. In exchange for Sophia’s heart, her life would be traded away so that Venessa, dying from a congenital heart defect, could survive. Fast forward years later, and Venessa has grown into a beautiful young woman, blissfully unaware of the dark secret that beats inside her chest. But when Alex, a charming yet cold billionaire, entered into a contractual marriage with her , things start to unravel. Venessa is swept up in a romance with the man who, unbeknownst to her, is the son of the man responsible for her father’s untimely death. As their love deepens, Venessa uncovers a devastating truth: the heart that keeps her alive is the heart of Alex’s first love—Sophia, the very girl she unknowingly doomed. And Alex? He’s now torn between a love that could heal him and a betrayal that could destroy them both. In a tale of passion, secrets, and vengeance, Venessa and Alex must navigate a twisted fate neither of them ever saw coming. Will love conquer all, or will the truth tear them apart?

Chapter 1: The Agreement
Venessa Hunt sat at the corner table in the crowded cafeteria, her fingers lightly tapping against the edge of her untouched tray. The clatter of trays, the murmur of voices, and the hum of overhead lights filled the space around her, but it all felt distant. She barely noticed the noise, too consumed by the icy silence across the table. Alex Graystone, the man sitting opposite her, looked nothing like a typical billionaire. He was a vision of cold precision, his tailored black suit cutting an almost impervious silhouette against the chaos of the cafeteria. His dark eyes locked onto hers, empty of warmth, calculating, as though she were just another business deal, a formality to be processed. He didn’t smile. Didn’t flinch. His expression was one of total indifference, his gaze piercing yet vacant, like a predator watching a prey he wasn’t quite interested in but knew he could capture without effort. There was no admiration, no warmth. His features were flawless, handsome in a way th

Chapter 2: A Dean with no choice
The evening sky had already sunk into the deep hues of twilight when Venessa finally arrived home, the soft thud of her shoes against the worn wooden floor echoing through the quiet house. She’d lost track of time—lost in the whirlwind of part-time jobs she’d taken on to keep things afloat. Despite working every possible hour, the bills never seemed to stop. The weight of the world seemed to press down on her shoulders as she pushed the door open, a quiet sigh escaping her lips. The house smelled faintly of something she couldn’t quite place—a mix of old wood, cooking spices, and something sharper, more synthetic. It was always like that here, a mixture of warmth and a subtle, unsettling tension. She paused in the hallway, taking a moment to collect herself. The last thing she needed was to let her emotions slip. “Venessa?” Her stepmother’s voice cut through the silence, sharp as ever. There was no warmth, no concern—just a directness that Venessa had grown used to over the years.

Chapter 3: Breaking the Chains
The sound of the paper rustling filled the otherwise silent room as Venessa’s eyes flicked across the contract. She hadn’t been able to bring herself to read it all at once—too much of the weight was too heavy. The parts that had already seemed unreasonable enough had left her with a tight knot in her chest, but now, her eyes froze at the next set of clauses, which seemed to mock her very existence. The ridiculousness of some of the provisions made her stomach twist in disgust. She hadn’t wanted to believe it could get worse, but here it was, laid out before her in cold, unyielding terms. She read them again, her mind struggling to process the absurdity. Clause 32: Sexual Obligations and Freedom of Choice Party B (the Wife) agrees to make herself available at any time for Party A’s (the Husband’s) sexual satisfaction. Should Party A desire intimacy, Party B must comply immediately, regardless of Party B’s personal feelings, state of health, or time of day. Failure to meet Party

Chapter 4: Breaking Point
Venessa’s chest was heavy as she walked down the hallway, her mind racing. She hadn’t even made it to the stairs before Meredith’s voice sliced through the air like a knife. “Venessa.” The coldness in her stepmother’s tone made Venessa’s blood run cold. She stopped in her tracks, her throat tight with emotion. Meredith always had a way of making her feel small, insignificant, like a child who could never escape her shadow. Venessa wiped the tear-streaked makeup from her face, but the traces of her earlier breakdown still clung to her skin. She tried to steady herself, but Meredith wasn’t waiting for her to compose her thoughts. “What the hell is this nonsense I hear?” Meredith demanded, her heels clicking sharply as she strode toward her. “You’re refusing the marriage? Refusing Alex Graystone? After everything I’ve done for you?” Venessa’s chest constricted at the venom in her stepmother’s voice. Her body tensed, but her lips parted as she tried to speak, trying to summon th

Chapter 5: The weight of the decision
Venessa stood outside the towering glass-and-steel skyscraper, the world around her buzzing with the rhythm of the city’s unrelenting pace. The building before her seemed to pierce the sky, a symbol of power, wealth, and success. The polished exterior of Graystone Industries reflected the afternoon sun, casting a cold, almost clinical glow on the streets below. It was one of the most prestigious multinational corporations in the world—synonymous with strength, influence, and, of course, Alex Graystone. Graystone Industries was a monolith in the corporate world, its reach extending to every corner of the globe. The company’s glassy façade was both beautiful and imposing, a testament to the iron-clad grip Alex had on his empire. The sleek, modern structure stretched upwards for what seemed like miles, with the building’s sharp edges and clear windows reflecting the world in an almost perfect mirror. Venessa stood before it now, her fingers tight around the edge of the crumpled bro

Chapter 6: A step into the Unknown
Venessa shifted nervously on the sleek, black chair in the lobby, watching the clock on the wall. The seconds seemed to drag, each one stretching longer than the last. The receptionist had informed her that someone would escort her to the CEO’s office, and now, after what felt like hours. She wasn’t sure what to expect, but she was certain of one thing: she had to face Alex Graystone today. A tall woman in a sharply tailored suit appeared from behind the reception desk, her expression calm and professional. She gave Venessa a polite smile, her voice smooth as she spoke. “Ms. Hunt, I’ll take you to the office.” Venessa stood up, clutching the bag on her hand and followed the woman toward the elevators. She was led past rows of elegant offices, through glossy marble floors and walls of glass, the hustle of the employees around her blending into an ambient hum. Everything about this place radiated power and precision, from the immaculate design to the sleek modern furnishings. Veness

Chapter 7: The moment
A woman, with dark hair flowing in waves, was perched on his lap. Her body was pressed so close to his that the space between them seemed to vanish. She wore a crimson blouse, the fabric clinging tightly to her form, paired with a black skirt that revealed toned legs wrapped around his waist. The woman’s lips were locked with his, her hands threading through his hair as Alex’s own hands roamed, one on her back, the other dangerously close to her waist. They were completely lost in each other, oblivious to everything else in the world.The shock was immediate. Venessa stood frozen in the doorway, her feet suddenly cemented to the floor, her breath short and shallow as if the very air had thickened. The intensity of the moment was so raw, so intimate, that it felt like an invasion of her most private thoughts. She couldn’t pull her gaze away, her mind refusing to make sense of what she was seeing.Her fingers, numb and uncoordinated, lost their grip on her bag. It fell to the floor wit

Chapter 8:Taken by the Dark
The air outside the café was crisp as I stepped into the night, the sound of my boots clicking on the pavement mingling with the distant hum of the city. My shift had felt like it would never end. The monotonous rhythm of brewing coffee, taking orders, and plastering a smile on my face for the customers had distracted me from the gnawing pain in my chest. But now that I was alone, the weight of what I’d seen earlier—Alex, with another woman, his hands on her like he had once had on me—settled heavily over me.I tried to focus on putting one foot in front of the other. The cool night air felt good against my skin as I tugged my jacket tighter. I had on my usual uniform for these late-night shifts: a navy-blue sweater, fitted just enough to keep me warm but not too tight to be uncomfortable, paired with black skinny jeans and well-worn ankle boots. My hair was tied up in a messy ponytail, strands escaping to frame my face. A part of me wished I could just forget about the whole thing, b

Chapter 9: The Scent of Control
I watched as Venessa stiffened, her eyes widening slightly, her body tensing in a way that made the air between us thicken with unease. There was a raw, unspoken fear in the way she looked at me—no surprise there. She was trapped, confused, angry, and rightly so. She was still processing everything, still trying to make sense of the mess I’d dragged her into. I’d never seen her so vulnerable, so small in the space between us, her back pressed against the bed as if she could somehow create distance. I could feel her attempt to recoil, her body instinctively pulling away from me, and a strange, unsettling satisfaction flickered in my chest. It wasn’t that I wanted to hurt her—it was the reality that she was still here. That she was still mine to control, even if she didn’t understand it yet. I moved toward her, deliberately slow, watching the way her breath caught in her throat. Her gaze darted to the door as if she could escape, but she knew better. I wasn’t going to let her go. Not

Chapter 10: The Choice
Venessa POV….I was done being passive. The confusion, the fear everything I’d felt since I’d been brought here had started to shift into something else. Something darker. Something more furious. The sight of Alex standing there, so cold and detached, as if this was all some game, pushed me over the edge. My heart was pounding in my chest, but I wasn’t going to be intimidated anymore.I couldn’t stand the way he was looking at me,so composed, so calculated. As if the last few minutes hadn’t just shattered everything I thought I knew about him.I sat up on the bed, the cool sheets sliding off my body as I swung my legs over the side. I felt the anger bubbling up inside me like a fire ready to explode. “Why the hell did you have me kidnapped, Mr Graystone?” My voice came out louder than I expected, and I could feel the tremor of panic beneath the rage.Alex didn’t flinch. In fact, he took a step back, his eyes glinting with a cool amusement that made my blood boil. It was like he was e
