Chapter 1The room Is suffocating, its walls pressing in on me, trapping me in its claustrophobic embrace. The air is thick with dust and despair, weighing down on me like a heavy mantle. The stairs creak under my feet, each step feeling like an eternity. I descend into the darkness, my vision blurred by the tears that run down my face. I know what awaits me at the bottom of the stairs – a choice between life and death. I must face my fate, whatever way it may end. The thought sends a shiver down my spine.The choice Before me is as clear as it is horrifying. To marry a ruthless billionaire, to bind myself to a man whose name is spoken with fear and loathing – this is a fate worse than death. But I have no choice, for I have been told that my life depends on it. I must marry this man, or die. As I stand on the brink of this decision, I feel a wave of hopelessness wash over me. I am trapped, with no escape in sight. What will become of me?I watch my father’s eyes drop to the floor, un
Chapter 2“What are you doing here Ethan?” I stammer out my fears visible on my face. He is the last person I expect to see.“Ethan, what are you doing here?” I stammered, my voice shaking with fear. I couldn’t hide the terror that was written all over my face. My heart was pounding, and my breath came in short, gasping breaths.“I should be asking you that, Olivia,” he said, his voice low and intense. “Where have you been all these years? I’ve looked for you everywhere, and I never gave up hope of finding you.” He fixed me with a piercing gaze, and I felt as though he could see right through me. “I went to your old house so many times, hoping you’d come back. I even left a note on your door, asking you to wait for me. I never stopped believing you’d come back,” he said, his voice hoarse with emotion.My eyes darted around the room, my mind racing as I tried to find the right words to say. I couldn’t speak, as if my mouth was paralyzed by a force I couldn’t understand. “Where is our
Chapter 3WARNING ⚠️ 18+: CONTAINS SEXUAL CONTENTSI felt my mouth go dry as I searched my mind for an answer, my thoughts racing. The maid’s voice was growing louder like she is approaching the door. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, and my palms were sweaty. “Are you a virgin?” I heard him repeat, his voice echoing in my head. I felt frozen, unable to speak or move."I... I'm a... virgin," I stammered, my voice shaking. I couldn't believe I was lying, but I was afraid of what would happen if I told the truth. My heart was racing, and I could feel the sweat beading on my forehead. I knew this lie wouldn't last long, and I was terrified of what would happen when the truth came out. But for now, I felt a brief sense of relief. My words hung in the air, and I waited for his response.I felt a wave of relief wash over me as he accepted my lie. But at the same time, I felt a twinge of guilt and shame. I looked down at the floor, my gaze landing on the golden tiles. I felt a sens
Chapter 4“You’re not pure a virgin, Olivia,” he said, his voice like ice. My heart pounded in my chest as I took a step back. I could feel my body trembling.“You lied to me, didn’t you?” His voice was full of accusation, and I felt like I was shrinking under his glare. I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out."Get out!" he yelled, his voice booming in the silent room. My eyes darted to him in fear, my hands shaking as I reached for my clothes. I wanted to cover myself, to protect myself, but his words seemed to freeze me in place. I felt exposed and vulnerable, like a deer caught in the headlights."Go outside, and leave your clothes here," he said, his voice cutting through the air like a knife. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I felt numb, like I was in a nightmare.“You have five seconds to get out of here,” he said, his voice low and threatening. I could feel my heart racing, the seconds ticking by in my head. I knew I had to move, but my body felt frozen in plac
Ryan Pov….Trembling, I reached out to the box, my hands shaking as I touched the surface. “Please forgive me,” I begged, my voice pleading. “I warned her, but she wouldn’t listen. Please, don’t punish me for her mistake." The box suddenly flashed a warning light, and I felt a wave of fear wash over me.The light turned from red to green, and I felt a wave of relief wash over me. I carefully placed the box back on the shelf, my hands still shaking. I sat back down on the bed, trying to catch my breath.I had to warn her, to stop her from causing any more damage. I reached up and pressed the alarm button above my bed. Within seconds, the door burst open and the guards rushed in.“Get my wife,” I commanded, and the guards bowed and hurried out of the room.A soft knock ring at the door, and I jumped at the sound. “Come in,” I said.Slowly, the door opened, revealing Olivia, her head bowed and her eyes downcast. “You called for me, my….?” she asked, her voice trembling with fear.I looke
Ryan Pov….I watched her, captivated by the realization that she was afraid. Her eyes darted to the floor, like a mouse being chased by a hungry cat. The fear was palpable in the room, and I could almost feel the tension in her body as she struggled to stay calm.“You’re the one?” I stammered, reaching out to her. She stood pale and shaky, her eyes fixed on me with a look that demanded an explanation. She was emotionless, but there was an intensity in her gaze that shook me to my core.She was the last person I expected to see. I didn’t know if she would save me or destroy me, but I knew I couldn’t let her know how I felt. The best way to hide my feelings was to avoid her at all costs. She thought I was indifferent to her, but from now on I would be twice as distant. With a steely gaze, I pulled my hands away from her trembling shoulders and stepped back.“Just go, Oliver,” I said, my voice cold and distant. I didn’t want to answer the thousand questions swirling in her mind. I watche
Olivia pov… The night approached with a swiftness that surprised me. I stepped out into the garden, letting the cool breeze play with my hair. In the moonlight, the flowers glowed like jewels, and I could feel my worries melting away in the tranquil atmosphere. I took a deep breath, letting the scent of the blossoms fill my senses. For a moment, I felt at peace. The peace was broken by the sound of footsteps approaching. I turned to see one of the maids standing in the doorway, a smile on her face. “Good morning, ma’am. Your husband wishes to see you,” she said, her voice as sweet as honey. But I couldn’t help but feel a sense of anger at her words. “When will you stop calling that man my husband?” I snapped, my anger boiling over. “He is not my husband, and he never will be.” I turned and strode away, my blood boiling. I was sick of being treated like some kind of object to be traded and disposed of at will. I stopped in my tracks, realizing I had no idea where he was. “Where is
The voice was sharp and commanding, but I was suddenly filled with a sense of relief. Who could that have been? My mind raced as I raised my head, my eyes meeting those of Ethan, who was standing by the door, fury burning in his eyes."Get up," he ordered, his voice like a whip crack. Without thinking, I obeyed, rising to my feet. I felt like a puppet, my strings pulled by an unseen force. "How could you disrespect your wife like this?" he demanded, turning to the man who had put me in this situation. "Do you have no respect for women?""You have no right to interfere, Ethan," the ruthless said, his voice dripping with disdain. "This is between me and my wife, and you have no right to stick your nose in our business. Or is she sleeping with you too, since you seem to know so much about our private affairs?" His words hit me like a punch to the gut, and I couldn't help but react. I was furious at his accusations, his insinuation that I was a "cheap slut." I couldn't let him get away wi
