The Forced Bride

I was never meant to be part of a family that would destroy me. My name is Sophie Miller. Adopted at five, I was cherished until my adoptive parents had their own children. Then I became the unwanted daughter, a slave. Endless chores, cruel words from my sister Elena, and silent nights in the attic where I poured my pain into secret drawings. When our restaurant empire collapsed under massive debt, my family sold me. I was forced to marry Arthur Oliver, the cold billionaire heir who was secretly in love with Elena. On our wedding night, I walked in on them having raw, passionate sex. Elena saw me and moaned louder to humiliate me. That shattered me. What followed was hell. Arthur used my body with humiliating indifference while loving Elena. His cousin brother and father also secretly claimed me, turning me into their shared “family bride” with threats to keep me silent. Broken and pregnant, with a child whose father could be any of the three, I met a mysterious man named Alex at a tech lunch. He recognized my talent and helped me escape. Years later, I returned transformed: a celebrated artist with wealth, fame, and a new life. But Arthur is obsessed. He hunts me through glittering high-society events, desperate to pull me back into his world. As threats from his family resurface and long-buried secrets emerge, I must face the men who shattered me. Will I destroy them with my newfound power… or will something far more dangerous happen instead?
