The Billonaire's Unwanted Bride Chapter Nine
The silence after the crash felt heavier than the noise itself.It pressed against the walls of the mansion, thick and suffocating, as though the house itself was holding its breath. The chandelier above flickered faintly, its crystal edges still trembling from the impact that had shattered the calm moments earlier. Somewhere in the distance, a clock ticked loudly, counting seconds that felt stretched and unbearable.Riley remained frozen where she sat, her fingers curled tightly against the fabric of her dress. Her heart pounded violently in her chest, each beat echoing in her ears. The air felt cold against her skin, yet her palms were damp with sweat.Katerina stood a few steps away, her confident smile long gone. The effortless elegance she carried moments ago had vanished, replaced with sharp alertness. Her eyes darted briefly toward the hallway, calculating, cautious.“What was that?” Riley asked quietly.Her voice sounded smaller than she intended, fragile in the heavy silence.
The Billonaire's Unwanted Bride Chapter Eight
The house was quiet. Too quiet. Riley moved carefully across the marble floor, each step echoing in the grand hallway. The silence felt heavy, suffocating. She had spent hours in her room, trying to make sense of the contract Ken had forced her to sign. Sleep in the east guest room. Remain silent. Attend events on schedule. Every word burned into her mind like fire.She hated it. Hated him. Hated herself for obeying.Her thoughts were interrupted by the soft click of the door behind her.“Riley.”The voice was calm. Too calm. Familiar. Terrifying.She turned slowly.Ken stood in the doorway, arms crossed , expression unreadable. His presence made the air around her feel colder.I need you downstairs,” he said simply.“For what?” she asked, already sensing the answer.He didn't answer. Instead, he gestured sharply.“Now.”Riley’s stomach twisted. She had been avoiding him all day, avoiding his eyes, avoiding his anger. But she had no choice. Every fiber of her body wanted to run, but s
The Billonaire's Unwanted Bride Chapter Seven
Ken did not come home that night.Riley knew because no one told her differently.Dinner was served in silence, in the same small sitting room she had been assigned earlier. A maid placed the tray on the table without meeting her eyes and left without a word. The food was untouched by the time it was taken away.Her stomach twisted. Not from hunger, but from the quiet realization settling in her chest.He could ignore her completely.And no one would question it.The mansion slept early. By ten, the lights dimmed. The halls became eerily quiet, like the house itself was holding its breath. Riley lay awake in the unfamilair bed, staring at the celing again just like the night before the wedding.Only this time, there was no illusion left.When Ken finally returned, it was close to midnight.Riley heard him before she saw him, the sound of the front door opening, heavy footsteps echoing acress marble floors, the faint murmur of voices that werent hers.Laughter.A woman’s laughter.Her
The Billonaire's Unwanted Bride Chapter Six
Riley woke up to silenceNot the gentle kind that comes with peace, but the unfamiliar quiet of a place where she did not belong.Her eyes opened slowly, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling. The room felt colder than yesterday. The air was heavy and stiff and for a brief second she forgot where she was.Then everything rushed back.The wedding. Ken. The humiliation. The other woman.Her chest tightened painfully.Riley sat up slowly, pulling the blanket tighter around her self. Her body felt sore and her eyes heavy from all the crying. Everytime she closed her eyes, she saw kens arms around Katrina, and felt the sharp sting of realization. She didnt care for the man but it broke her that this marriage was a lie.She swung her legs off the bed and stood up carefully. The marble floor was cold against her bare feet, sending a shiver down her spine. She glanced around the room in the day light. This grand beautiful prison.Nothing in it belonged to herThe closet filled with clothes she ha
The Billonaire's Unwanted Bride Chapter Five
The mansion was cold and quiet… too quiet.Riley felt it the moment she walked in.The Hale residence stood tall and intimidating, its marble floors gleaming under the crystal chandeliers, its walls decorated with priceless art pieces and picture perfect family portraits, with smiles that didn't quite reach their eyes. Everything looked Perfect. Untouched. Cold. It didn't feel like home.It felt like a museum She was an exhibit that didn't fit in.Riley stood in the middle of the room assigned to her, her wedding gown clinging to her heavily like a reminder of everything she went through that day. The room was enormous, bigger than her entire childhood home. The king-sized bed sat in the middle of the room draped with black sheets that was so uninviting.She missed home.This was supposed to be her wedding night. She was supposed to be excited, happy, anything apart from what she was feeling right now. The betrayal. The uncertainty. The fear. The image of Ken holding that woman rep
The Billonaire's Unwanted Bride Chapter Four
Everyone paused.They stood still, agitating, waiting for the next show. Their eyes were sharp. Their faces were curious. Some looked excited. Some looked cruel.They were waiting for the next drama to unfold.Ken stood before Riley, tall and proud. His presence alone made the air feel heavy. The disgust in his eyes was sharp and cold. It cut straight through her heart.“What gave you the right to call yourself a Hale?” he repeated.His voice was calm. Too calm.Riley’s lips parted, but no words came out. Her throat felt dry. Her mind went blank.“I… I…” she stammered. “My father… I—”Her voice broke.Ken began to walk toward her slowly.Each step was measured. Careful. Like a predator closing in on its prey.His eyes burned into hers.Riley staggered backward. Her legs shook badly. Her heart raced so fast that it felt like it would jump out of her chest. Her breath came out in short gasps.She looked around desperately.The faces around her were mocking her. They looked entertained.
