WIFE TO A CHEATER BRIDE TO A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 14
FORTY-EIGHT HOURS LATERJASMINE POV.I stood still in front of the full-length mirror, barely breathing, as Gaston Laurent gently adjusted the delicate lace sleeve of my wedding dress. The fabric shimmered under the soft morning light pouring in through the windows, clinging to my body like a second skin. “Ah, mon Dieu,” he whispered. “You take my breath away. Look at you.” He gestured at the mirror with both hands. “A vision. No—an art. You are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen in my entire career.”I swallowed, and my mouth suddenly felt dry. I didn’t know what to say. I blinked slowly, trying to take in my reflection—the woman staring back at me looked like someone else—someone softer and happier. But I wasn’t happy. The dress hugged my waist perfectly, the train flowing like liquid silk onto the floor. I looked like I belonged in a dream. I don’t remember looking this beautiful at my previous wedding. “You say nothing?” Gaston leaned in. “Are you stunned by your reflecti

JASMINE POVThe wedding was small and intimate by most standards. Just his parents, ten carefully selected guests, and… her. The woman who dared to call herself my mother. I had seen her sitting there during the vows, clapping politely like she hadn’t vanished from my life when my father and I needed her the most. If I had my way, we would have signed the contract in a dim room, alone, maybe over a bottle of champagne and a worn-out pen. No dancing. No flowers. No ghosts from the past.“I need to use the bathroom,” I said to William as I turned to leave, but he held me back, “wait,” I turned, and before I could speak, he kissed me softly, catching me off guard. My eyes widened in shock, and he stroked my lips gently, looking at me like I was the only one that mattered. I cleared my throat, opening my mouth to say something, but nothing came out, so instead, I gave him a small smile. The guests were watching, and they all seemed surprised that William was now a married man. I can se

JASMINE POV. It’s been a week since the wedding. Seven long days living alone in this mansion I now share with William, though I’d hardly call it ours. I haven’t seen him since the reception. He didn’t even tell me he was leaving. Instead, he sent word through Anna, the maid who clearly can’t stand me. Her tone had that stiff politeness that might as well have said, He is gone, and you are not worth a proper goodbye.The loneliness has been suffocating. I have no friends, no one to talk to, and no one to check in with.So, like a sad little ghost of my past life, I spent most of the week stalking people I swore I was done with. I logged into my fake account, one I used to roll my eyes at but now cling to like a lifeline. I started with Martin and Kimberly’s pages. Nothing new. Just old photos of forced smiles and staged perfection. Typical.Then Kiara.Her page was filled with new pictures. Happy pictures.

WILLIAM POV“Thank you for having me once again,” Martin said as he took a seat with a cheerful tone.I gave him a tight smile and nodded once toward my assistant. She understood the cue and left to fetch the file. I hated these kinds of meetings. The ones where men like Martin walked in with cheap cologne and overconfident grins, pretending they belonged in rooms they didn’t earn. I listened as he rambled about his appreciation, thanking me at least three times in the span of a minute. I smiled through clenched teeth. I didn’t like him. Never had. But some partnerships weren’t about liking. They were about leverage.He pulled out the contract with sweaty fingers and signed his name with a little flourish, clearly thinking it meant something more than it did.“My team has been putting together ideas for the charity gala,” Martin said as he slid the signed paper across the table. “I think it’s going to make the press rounds. We have already spoken to—”“You will want to wait for my wif

THIRD PERSON POV. Martin's step was unsteady as he walked into his home, the same house he had managed to wrangle from his ex-wife in the divorce. He had gone out for a few drinks after discovering that William Stone, the new boss he had been so excited to work with, was now married to his ex-wife. The news hit him like a slap, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.At the bar, a waitress, far too chatty for his liking, had interrupted his spiraling thoughts one too many times. In a fit of rage, he had hurled a glass of beer at her. It missed, thankfully, but the outburst earned him a permanent ban. “Didn’t like the place anyway,” he muttered to himself as he stumbled down the street.People gave him odd looks as he passed, kicking stones and debris out of his path. His once crisp white shirt was mostly unbuttoned, his tie now wrapped haphazardly around his head like a bandana. He had left his suit jacket behind on the barstool when the bouncer shoved him out.Today co

WILLIAM POV. The club throbbed with bass heavy music, but it was a lot quieter in the private VIP section. The lights were dim, and the air was filled with different scents of perfume and cigar smoke. Mateo sat beside me, legs stretched out, a tumbler of whiskey in his hand. Mine sat untouched on the table in front of me, the amber liquid still as glass.A dancer waved at us from across the room—tall, with red hair and long legs, wearing nothing but glitter and heels.Mateo smirked and nudged my side with his elbow. “You are really not gonna wave back? He is a married man now,” he said in a mock whisper, grinning like a bastard.I didn’t look. “That’s right.”He barked a laugh. “Come on, don’t be like that. It’s not even a real wedding. You can cheat if you want. Honestly, I would be disappointed if you didn’t.”I gave him a look sharp enough to cut glass.His grin faltered. “Wait… Are you actually trying to be faithful to her?”“No,” I said a little too quickly. “I just don’t like

WILLIAM STONE. I was on my way home when I caught sight of a small flower shop tucked between a boutique and a café. I didn’t plan on stopping, but I pulled over anyway. Jasmine loved flowers—she always had, even back when we were young teenagers. There was something in the way she looked at them, like they gave her a moment of peace in a world that never gave her enough.So yeah, maybe part of me just wanted to make her smile and also to manage the guilt I was feeling. I felt so guilty about lying to her that the white envelope was a harmless thing to shrug off. It was a warning. A threat. And the fact that it was sent to her instead of me meant that Judas—my cousin, the one who vanished years ago because of some family dispute, reappeared and probably believed our marriage was real, and he thought hurting her would hurt me more, and he will be right.But how do you drop something like that on someone without breaking them? Jasmine’s had enough on her plate her whole life—grief, bet

JASMINE POV.I was leaning over the pool's edge, trying to coax a frightened stray cat away from the water. It was trembling, stuck on a narrow ledge, and I stupidly thought I could help. But I misstepped and plunged into the water. I panicked when the cold water hit me hard; I couldn’t swim; I scattered my arms and kicked my legs uselessly, trying to float on top. I tried to scream but only swallowed more water. Everything felt too loud and too far away like I was screaming inside my own head, and no one could hear me. My chest burned, and it became so unbearable that I blacked out.Then, faintly… a familiar voice called out to me in the dark.“Please wake up… Please…”I felt something firm and warm pressed against my chest, and then his ear touched my skin.“Come on, Jasmine. Come back to me. Please…”He sounded broken.Another push—again—and suddenly, air tore into my lungs. I gasped, coughing, sputtering out water as I jerked forward. My whole body convulsed, shaking from the col

JASMINE POV.I opened my eyes as sunlight poured through the curtains. William was no longer beside me, but his side of the bed was still warm, indicating He hadn’t been long since he left the bed. I yawned, still feeling the sadness from last night. My eyes were aching, and I had a headache. I sat up and took a deep breath, remembering how William had found me last night, and my cheek heated up in embarrassment. He had seen me in one of my rarest forms, and I wondered if he would judge me for it. I walked to my bag, reaching for the small zipped compartment where I hid my anxiety medication. I hated this part of myself: the pills, the dependency, and the stigma that came with it. For most of my teenage years and well into my adult life, I relied on them to silence the noise in my head. They made me feel defective, so I rarely spoke about it. I looked at the bottle still sealed in its pack and felt a rush of anger, remembering how Kimberly and Martin had used it against me. I hisse
