Love after Marriage

Weak to Strong

Terminal Illness Countdown

Desperate and with nowhere left to turn, Ivy Carter accepts the strangest job offer of her life. Marry a dying billionaire. The deal is simple. A wealthy heiress who no longer wants to marry her disabled fiancé needs a substitute bride. Ivy looks enough like her to fool everyone. She only has to play the role of a loving wife for six months. After the billionaire dies, she'll walk away with a fortune, and the real bride will return to claim everything. It should have been easy, except the billionaire isn't the cold, broken man everyone believes him to be. Beneath his pain is a lonely soul who has been betrayed by the people he trusted most, and as Ivy's kindness begins to heal wounds no doctor ever could, the impossible happens, her husband starts to fight for life again. But miracles have consequences. When the woman who abandoned him returns to reclaim her place, she discovers the man she expected to inherit is no longer dying, and the substitute bride she hired has become the only woman he truly loves. With jealous rivals, dangerous family secrets, and a fortune worth killing for, Ivy must decide whether to walk away with the money she was promised, or risk everything for the man she was never supposed to love.

Ivy's Pov“Looks like you have a new admirer.” My co worker Jenny, whispered to me. I knew what she meant. I glanced at the far end of the restaurant. A man sat alone at a table near the back. He’d been there for hours, absentmindedly stirring a bowl of soup that had long gone cold, while his eyes were fixed on me. I was use to men staring. A lot of them often complimented my looks, and some even mistook kindness for an invitation until I firmly reminded them to keep their hands to themselves. But this man's stare wasn’t like usual stares. It was creepy and made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. “He looks rich, why not go and say hi? It might lead to something.” Jenny continued. I shook my head. “No thanks. I have a boyfriend. I don’t plan to cheat on him.” “Well, maybe you should. All these wealthy guys that come in every evening. I’m sure you’ld have gotten quite a few interested in you if you gave them the green light. Then you won’t have to struggle a

Ivy's Pov I stared at Chloe open mouthed, convinced I were dreaming, no, having a very horrible nightmare. It had to be. No way could my best friend and my boyfriend be betraying me like this. “Ivy, didn’t Joe tell you not to come? Why don’t you ever listen?” Chole said sweetly as if we were discussing something as ordinary as the weather. “Chloe what are you doing here? What’s going on?” I asked hoarsely. I sounded stupid. What did I think would be going on when a man and woman were both naked and coming out a bedroom? “I'm here to see my fiance of course.” She said as if I'd asked an obvious question. “I came to thank him personally for this sweet gift.” She displayed her fingers to show me the ring. I gaped at it as the truth hit me like a blow. Joe was her mystery boyfriend! I shook my head as if it would somehow shake away the truth. “No. No.” I whispered. “We were going to break it to you gently, but you had to be your pushy self and come barging in here. So

Ivy's Pov Fortunately for the few people who cared about me, I wasn’t hit by a car. I managed to make it home in one piece physically, but my heart and soul were shattered. I stumbled into my living room and burst into tears. As I cried I kept replaying my life, wondering how the girl I’d known since grade school and the guy I’d given my virginity to, could have betrayed me like this. Had the signs always been there that Chole was a jealous bitch, and Joe was a cheating asshole? I began thinking back to the first day I introduced them to each other, and all the times after that. Yep, the red flags were there, but I was too trusting to see them. That blind trust had made me give Joe all my savings. Although it had been Chloe’s idea. She knew I was saving for my grandma treatment and six months ago she’d asked me how much I’d gotten. “Twenty thousand so far,” I’d told her. “Wow, nice job. I wish there was a way to make it more.” “Yeah. Me too.” I sighed. “Hey, your new boyf

Ivy's Pov “Deposit?” I whispered, my hands beginning to shake. “Yes. Once the deposit is received and financial clearance is complete, we can proceed with the transplant.” My heart pounded. This was the moment I’d been praying for, a matching kidney had finally been found but I no longer had the money. “I… I’ll get back to you as soon as possible,” I stammered. “Please do. Time is important. Also, our records show we haven’t received payment for your grandmother’s dialysis session this week. She’ll need dialysis until the transplant takes place.” “I’ll make sure it’s paid today,” I promised, though I had no idea how. After the call ended, I began thinking. Then to add to my problem there was a knock on the door. It was my landlord, asking for his rent. I was four months overdue, because I’d been foolishly sending the money to Joe, hoping to get it back and pay all my debts. I promised to have his rent by the end of the week. He studied me for a long moment be

Ivy's Pov We drove in silence out of the city. My heart was pounding and I was sweating a little, despite the air conditioning in the car. I kept asking myself if I was making a mistake I might regret going with this stranger. But I knew if I didn’t, Grandma wouldn’t get her treatment and I would regret that. We drove for nearly an hour before he turned into a gated community. “Where is this place?” I asked staring wide eyed at the beautiful houses and tree lined streets. “River Oak. My employers lives here.” He said. “Here?” I asked. I knew the kind of super wealthy people living in this place and wondered who his employer was. “What’s his name? And what does he do?” I asked. “You will soon find out.” “What’s your name anyway?” I asked. He kept silent. I gave up and continued watching the beautiful houses. Then, he pulled up on front of a huge house and led me into a living room bigger than my entire apartment. “Wait here.” He said and left. I stood cl

I gaped at her, I was sure I had misunderstood. “I know it sounds weird, but hear me out.” She said quietly. “It won’t be a real marriage, I mean you guys won’t have to do husband and wife things,” she grinned mischievously, “you would hardly be seeing each other. Just sign paperwork saying you are married. After some months you will be free and I’ll reward you handsomely.” I couldn’t believe my ears. Listening to her it was as if she was explaining something as simple and natural as making a cake, and not weird and crazy as marrying a man she was already engaged to. “Wait, hold up,” I said, finding my voice. “Let me get this straight, you want to pay me to marry your fiance? Why?” “It dosen’t matter. It's only for some months. Then you will be free and I’ll give you five million dollars.” She said. My eyes nearly popped out of my head. If she was willing to spend that kind of money then obviously it did matter and I told her so. “Why don’t you want to marry him?” I

Ivy's Pov We drove back in silence. My mind kept going over what had just happened. The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt. But I couldn’t back out. I needed the money. “We are here.” Clive said breaking into my thoughts. I looked out to see we were in front of my apartment. “Round up everything you have here and get ready. Tomorrow Ms Sullivan will send fifty thousand dollars into your account, part of your ten million. Use it to get yourself ready. I’ll pick you up on Saturday. Remember, you will tell no one of this arrangement?” I nodded. As I stepped out the car I felt dizzy from the alcohol. I tried to pull myself together. If this was Ivy Sullivan’s life, I better get used to it. I was opening my door when Tess stepped out of her apartment. “Ivy! Thank goodness you are back. I’ve been so worried. Where have you been? It’s after midnight. I tried calling you but your phone was turned off. What happened?” I remembered Clive had asked me to turn it off on my

“Get out!” “Sir, you haven’t eaten in days –“ A vase exploded against the wall. “I said get out!” Another followed. The maid hurried out, almost tripping on her legs and dropping the food tray in her haste to get away from Paul Sinclair’s explosive temper. A nurse hurried in. “Mr. Sinclair, please calm down you’ll hurt yourself.” She said. “I don’t care! I said GET OUT! All of you.” Another vase flew in the nurses direction. Frightened, she ran out of the room and went to find the one person Paul would listen to. The maid stood in the hallway, panting heavily. “What’s all that noise? Is my brother acting psycho again?” Victor Sinclair asked coming up behind her. “No. Everything is fine.” She said. “Yeah right.” He laughed, “he is throwing a tantrum again right? I’ve told you idiots to keep away from his crazy ass but you don’t listen. One day he’ll throw a knife at your face.” “No he won’t. Mr. Paul is just upset not crazy.” Victor rolled his

Ivy’s Pov “I did say you should get yourself ready, didn’t I?” Clive asked looking at me in exasperation.“I did.” I said, wondering what I'd done wrong.“I meant getting a new wardrobe.”“I did. I bought clothes. I’m wearing a new one now.” I said, pointing at my shirt and jeans.“Where did you buy that? A yard sale?” He asked comtemptiously.I blushed.“No, a store. I spent a lot of money on –““A lot? You were supposed to spend all of it.”“Wait, you expected me to spend fifty thousand dollars on clothes?” I asked alarmed.“Yes. Look you are Ivy Sullivan now. She is a fashionsta and would never be dressed like this.” He sighed. “Come on. Let’s go shopping.”We got into his car and drove to the most expensive boutique in the city. "We can shop here, it's expensive and no one knows Ms. Sullivan here." He said.He followed me down the aisle, pointing out what I was to pick. The store clerks looked at us curiously, probably wondering why a much older man would be picking out clothes

Ivy's Pov “Damn these pests must have heard Ms. Sullivan was leaving for Dallas today.” Clive mumbled. “What do I do?” I asked panicking. “A paparazzi attack wasn’t part of my training.” The thought of having my face in the media scared me, although no one, except Tess would know it was me. “Listen. Keep calm, say nothing, and keep walking, got it?” Clive whispered. Before I could answer, they were on me. “Ms. Sullivan! Is it true you’re finally marrying Paul Sinclair?” “Ms. Sullivan, is it true Paul Sinclair is dying?” “Are the rumors about postponing the wedding true?” “Ms. Sullivan! Over here!” My head was turning in all directions, and a smile of embarrassment kept trying to force it’s way to my lips. “Ms. Sullivan,” one said, almost sticking the microphone in my mouth “Is it true you’re marrying Paul Sinclair out of pity?” “Of course not. I love him no matter his condition.” I said quickly. “So the rumors of his disability are true?” Befor
