Married to the Ruthless Billionaire After My Sister's Betray

Elena stepped out of the elevator and into the lobby. The lights were too bright. Everything felt real.. Her world had just fallen apart.People were walking around her talking and laughing. They were checking in and out of the hotel. Everything seemed normal.. It was not normal for Elena.She walked past them without seeing anyone. Her mind kept thinking about the thing. Daniel, Sophia, the bed, the laughter. It was like a dream that she could not wake up from.She remembered what someone had said. "My dear little sister trusts everyone."Her chest felt tight.Elena walked out of the hotel and into the rain. The rain was heavy. It soaked through her clothes. She was cold and wet.. She did not react. She just kept walking.Each step felt harder than the last. Her body felt heavy. Her breathing was not normal. She could not get air. The world around her was blurry. It was not because of the rain. It was because she was crying.Elena stopped on the sidewalk. People were walking around h

Rainwater dripped from her hair sticking to her face in strands. Elena shivered as another gust of wind blew down the street. The bright neon lights reflected off the pavement and the distant sound of traffic was barely audible. She refused to sit on the curb. Her pride wouldn’t let her. Instead she stood under the streetlight clutching the contract like it weighed a thousand pounds. The paper had started to soften. The ink was smudging slightly.. The words were still painfully clear. A one-year contract marriage. Her mind was a storm. She thought about betrayal, humiliation, Daniel and Sophia. The images replayed endlessly. Daniels face Sophia’s smile, the whispers in the hotel hallway and the moment her world fell apart in front of strangers who watched like spectators at a cruel show. Now... Adrian Blackwood. He stood a steps away untouched by the rain. His dark coat absorbed the droplets like the storm itself respected him. His presence carried authority making the air feel

The applause in the house slowly faded, turning into the soft sound of people talking and glasses clinking. Laughter came back in groups across the hall , as if the wedding was just another thing that happened on a fancy evening. Elena stood next to Adrian on the raised platform , trying to calm her breathing. The words the officiant said kept echoing in her mind. Wife. The word still didn’t feel real to her. A few hours ago , she was standing alone in the rain with a broken engagement and a broken heart. Now she was married to Adrian Blackwood , the powerful guy in the room, maybe even in the whole city. Before she could think about it much , Adrian’s hand went to the small of her back, guiding her gently down from the platform. His touch was controlled, deliberate, and almost reassuring. “Relax,” he said quietly as they stepped onto the marble floor. “I am relaxed,” Elena replied under her breath. Adrian looked at her , one eyebrow going up slightly. “You’re h

The laughter in the room started to fade it was like it was coming from somewhere far off. It did not feel real anymore. Elena stayed really close to Adrian closer than before because she felt like if she took a small step back something might happen that she could not see. The music was still playing people were clinking their glasses together. They were talking, but none of it felt safe now.Everything felt like it had some kind of power now.Every move felt like it was on purpose.Adrians hand was on her back not really holding her. It was steady and it made her feel like she was safe. He was looking around the room. He was paying attention to all the little details that she had not even seen. He saw when someone moved a little when someone looked at someone for a second too long and when someone stopped talking at the wrong time. He was not just looking around he was watching everything.For the first time Elena understood that what was going on had nothing to do with how much mon
