Sold To The Billionaire Who Ruined Me

Tonya’s POV"You look beautiful," Jael Blackwood said as I sat across from him in his living room.I was in his apartment building in Manhattan. Philip had driven me here earlier that evening without saying much during the ride. Before I got out of the car, he had simply told me that Jael's driver would take me home the following day. That was all, there was no reassurance or apology. The moment I stepped into Jael's penthouse, I felt completely out of place. The apartment was breathtaking. Every corner screamed wealth, the furniture alone probably cost more than everything I had ever owned in my entire life.Even though I tried to remain calm, my heart wouldn't stop racing. I sat carefully on the cream-colored sofa, afraid that one wrong move would leave a stain or somehow damage something that probably cost thousands of dollars, I felt like an intruder."Thank you," I replied stiffly. "But I'm not here for your compliments." I folded my hands together, refusing to let him see how

Tonya's POVThe front door opened, and my older sister, Sonia, walked into the living room, dragging two large suitcases behind her. My breath caught in my throat, she was heavily pregnant.For a moment, I couldn't think. My mind went completely blank as I stared at her swollen stomach, trying to convince myself that what I was seeing wasn't real.My trembling hand slowly lifted to point at her. "Is she..." I croaked, my voice barely coming out. "Is she the other woman?"Sonia smiled warmly as she gently rubbed her baby bump, looking happier than I had ever seen her. Before she could answer, Philip walked over to her without hesitation.He wrapped an arm around her waist, pulled her close, and kissed her forehead affectionately before looking back at me."Yes," he said calmly. "But she's not the other woman. She's the main woman. She's the one I love, and she's the one I want to marry all over again."His words shattered whatever was left of my heart, I slowly turned toward my parents

Tonya’s POVJael’s words hung in the air, and for a moment, nobody moved.Philip stared at him with anger written all over his face, while I stood between them, my heart beating painfully fast. I had never seen Philip look at another man the way he was looking at Jael now.Jael, on the other hand, looked completely calm.His eyes remained fixed on Philip as he spoke in a low, firm voice. “I think you have done enough, Philip. You got your money, you got the divorce you wanted, and you got the woman you have always loved. So back off and leave Tonya alone. From this moment on, I don’t want you calling her, visiting her, or sending anyone to contact her. She has nothing to do with you anymore, and I expect you to respect that.”Philip’s jaw tightened, and he glanced at me before looking back at Jael. “You don’t get to decide that for her. She’s my wife, and whatever happened between us is between me and her. You have no right to come here and act like you own her just because you paid m

Tonya's POV"A party?" I asked, still trying to catch up with what she'd just told me."Yes, ma'am. Mr. Blackwood said you'd be attending with him tonight." She gave me a small, practiced smile, the kind that came from years of not asking questions she didn't want answered."He decided that without asking me?"Her eyes dropped. "I'm sorry, ma'am. I was only told to bring the dress and make sure you were ready."She was gone before I could say anything else, the door clicking shut behind her.Jael was unbelievable. He'd known exactly what kind of week I'd had. He'd known I showed up with nothing but a suitcase and a marriage that had ended in humiliation, and instead of asking what I wanted, he'd simply decided for me. Again.I picked up the dress anyway.It was beautiful. Deep green, the kind of fabric that looked like it would move like water when I walked. I hated that some stubborn part of me was pleased.I put it on and stood in front of the mirror longer than I meant to. It fit l

Tonya’s POVThe drive back to Jael’s mansion was silent, but it wasn’t the peaceful kind of silence that came when two people were comfortable with each other. This silence was heavy and tense, filling the space between us as I sat beside him with my arms folded tightly across my chest and stared out of the window. The city lights passed by in a blur, but I barely noticed them because my mind kept going back to everything that had happened at the party.Philip’s smug face appeared in my thoughts first, followed by the sound of his voice telling me exactly where Jael was. Then I remembered opening that bathroom door and seeing Jael standing with that woman. I hadn’t even been able to see her face properly because Jael had moved so quickly to block my view, and somehow that made everything worse. After that, he had disappeared for thirty minutes, only to return and drag me away from Adrian as if he had the right to decide who I could speak to. And when we finally got outside, he had tri
