บททั้งหมดของ MARRIED TO THE COLD BILLIONAIRE : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

CHAPTER 1: Kate Jones sat by the balcony, sipping her warm tea as the rays of the morning sun,shine on the garden. The sweet scent of flowers filled the air, and the chirping of birds made the moment peaceful. She closed her eyes, inhaling deeply, enjoying the moment. She had everything she ever wish for,a loving family, a beautiful home, and a promising future. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jones, owned one of the most successful construction companies in the city. They had worked hard for years, turning their small business into an empire. And as their only child, Kate had grown up surrounded by love, wealth, and the security that came with knowledge that her future was already set. Her father always said. “Family is the most important thing, Kate. No matter what happens, always remember that.” And she believed him. Kate’s mother, Evelyn, was more than just a mother to her,she was her best friend. They would often spend hours together, talking about everything and nothi

CHAPTER 3: Kate barely slept that night. Her uncle’s words kept replaying in her head. "You don’t have a choice." Her parents' deaths had left a big hole in her heart, and now, before she could even grieve, the rest of the family were talking about marrying her off like some auction property. She sat on her bed, staring at the ceiling. The house was quiet. But her mind was filled with thoughts. Morning came too fast.She dragged herself out of bed and into the shower, she let the cold water wake her up. But even as she dressed, her hands trembled. As she stepped out of her room, the sound of voices caught her attention. She followed the voices down the hallway and stopped near her father’s study. The door was slightly open. She peeped inside. Her uncle sat in her father’s chair, his face looks serious, while two men in suits sat opposite him. Kate’s stomach crossed when she recognized one of them–Mr. Donovan, a senior member of the Dray family. “What were they talki

CHAPTER 5: The wedding day arrived faster than Kate Could think of. One moment, she was being forced into a dress, the next, she was walking down the aisle like a lamb to slaughter. The grand church was packed with powerful guests,business moguls, politicians, business tycoon, and society’s elite. Cameras flashed, whispers filled the air, but Kate barely process everything. Her uncle, Mr. Carlos, held her arm tightly as he led her forward. “Smile, Kate,This is your new life.” he muttered under his breath, his fingers digging into her skin. Kate’s lips trembled. At the end of the aisle, William Dray stood like a statue. He wore a black suit, his green eyes show his coldness. He didn’t look at her with care, excitement, or even fake affection. Just blank and indifference. Kate stopped in front of him, her heart pounding. The priest began speaking, but Kate barely heard the words. Her mind screamed at her to run, but her feet wouldn’t move. “Do you, William Dray, take

CHAPTER 7 Kate couldn’t sleep. That message was still on her mind. Her eyes kept darting to the door, her heart kept beating like a drum. She didn’t know who sent it. She didn’t know what secret they were talking about. But she felt it. Something dark was hiding in that mansion.By morning, she got dressed. She didn’t feel like eating, but she needed air.She stepped outside, heading toward the garden.That was when she saw her.A tall woman in a red dress, slim waist, long legs, skin smooth like glass. She looked expensive. Confident And dangerous.The woman turned and smiled like she’d been expecting Kate.“You must be Kate,” her voice was soft but sharp.Kate frowned. “And you are?”“I’m Gabriella,” she said. “William’s past. His real past.”Kate blinked. “I don’t understand.”Gabriella stepped closer. “Oh, you do. You’re his new wife, right? The contract girl.”Kate’s face tightened. “That’s none of your business.”Gabriella laughed. “Sweetheart, everything about William is my bu

CHAPTER 9Kate couldn’t sleep.The black envelope sat beside her lamp, mocking her with silence. Her eyes kept going to it, again and again. Check the basement. That was all it said. But it had her heart racing like a drum.By 2 a.m., she was out of bed. She was Barefoot. Wrapped in a robe. She stepped out quietly. The whole mansion was dark. Cold air hit her arms as she walked past the staircase and moved toward the east corridor.She hesitated.Then took the first step down.Basement door was half shut. She pushed it slowly. It creaked.She stepped in. The air was damp. She took the stairs, one at a time.Halfway down, There were voices.She froze.“I warned you, Will. This is risky,” a voice said. Deep and Firm.“I know what I’m doing,” William’s voice replied.Kate moved closer, hiding behind the stair rail.“You think she won’t find out?” the man asked.“She won’t,” William said. “Not if everyone keeps their mouths shut.”“You’re playing with fire.
