ログインJessica walked down the aisle against her will to replace her best friend and to save her mother’s life. She never agreed to fall in love with the Billionaire she married but only to survive him. Forced into a contract marriage with powerful hotel mogul John Lewis, she becomes a wife in name only, trapped by threats, silence, and fear. But when her best friend returns with dangerous lies and a fake pregnancy, Jessica is discarded like she was never meant to matter. Except the truth refuses to stay buried. Now John is begging her to stay but Jessica must decide whether to endure the disrespect… or walk away and protect her dignity.
もっと見るThe words landed on her like a bomb. They shattered her. Jessica’s fingers tightened around the document, the paper crinkling under the pressure.“No…” she whispered. Her eyes dropped back to the contract.that signature looked very familiar and she knew the name. It was her father’s name. It was very clear . Underneath it was Adrian’s name and signature written and signed boldly. “This is not possible. This can’t be. Adrian was young when my father was associated with the lewis so how could he have signed this ? I know this whole thing was forged.” Jessica shook her head, stepping back. “No, why are you trying to force yourself to believe those lies ?.”John’s voice remained calm. “I’m not, this is simply not what it seems to be’, John you are lying to me to save yourself.”“If I wanted to lie, I wouldn’t give you proof.”Jessica’s breath came out uneven. Her mind raced, trying to piece everything together. “My father would never do this to me.”“He did.”“No.”“Yes.”Jessica loo
Jessica stood alone quietly in the hallway as she watched Adrian disappear slowly. She looked back at the photograph of her dad standing with the Lewis family. Her hands trembled slightly. Her heart began to pound even harder in her chest. “ Your father died the same year everything charged” the words Adrian spoke earlier, echoed in her head like a gunshot.“No” Jessica whispered to herself.She shoved the photograph into her pocket and forced herself to move. Jessica pushed the door open. As soon as the door swung open, John looked at her coldly, as if he wanted her dead. Her eyes scanned the room slowly. She felt like she was watching everything under water. Her eyes automatically set back on John again,He stood near the far end of the room looking in her direction. He stood calmly but focused like a lion with his eyes on his prey.Controlled.Like nothing unusual had happened.Like his supposedly dead brother hadn’t just walked back into their lives.Jessica’s chest tightened.“He kno
Jessica stood frozen in the hallway long after Adrian’s words settled into the air. “You were placed here.” The sentence replayed in her mind like a broken record.“No,” she said quietly, almost to herself.Adrian watched her carefully.“No?”“This is impossible, no this is ridiculous!” Jessica continued, shaking her head as if she could physically throw the idea away. “You expect me to believe someone set me up for this marriage and fell right into their trap?” “This must be some kind of joke.”Adrian didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he leaned back against the window frame, folding his arms.“I expect you to start asking questions.”Jessica held up the photograph again.“My father was a consultant. That’s all.”Adrian’s lips curved slightly.“That’s what you were told.”Jessica felt irritation spark in her chest.“That’s what I know.”Adrian tilted his head.“Do you?”Silence stretched between them.Jessica stared down at the photograph again.Her father looked younger, confident, standing
Jessica’s breath caught in her throat.The words echoed in the room like a gunshot.For a moment, no one moved.Then John did “Enough.”His voice was quiet, but the authority in it was undeniable.The guards shifted uneasily. Adrian watched his brother with a faint, amused smile, like a man enjoying a private joke.“why do you think you are still in control ?,” Adrian asked lightly.John’s gaze hardened. “Let her go now!”For a split second the guards hesitated.Adrian turned around and signalled his guards lazily. “Let her go.” The men obeyed instantly.Jessica stumbled forward as their grip loosened. Her arms throbbed where their fingers had dug into her skin.She rubbed her wrists,trying to steady herself.Her eyes moved between the two brothers in confusion. “What truth are you talking about ?”Neither of them answered.Adrian studied her face as if searching for something hidden beneath the surface.John stepped forward. “Jessica there’s nothing to worry about he likes to mess with people’s
The face underneath the mask was a canvas of horror that forever altered perceptions. Air stalled in her lungs. Not a gasp, not a sigh just…air. That face. It looked familiar.Adrian Lewis. John’s brother. The news had reported he was involved in a car accident which claimed his life so how was h
