She woke up today and decided to wedge nothing but violence on me instead of telling me they were marrying me away to a person I did not know, to a family I never heard of before.

I was surprised when I saw her, she’s the one girl that I had stalked her social media pages, I was too busy to come back to America, this contract was an opportunity to get me back from all the work I had in China, I was able to come back to America for a while and I had planned to get my wife and take her back to China with me. I had gotten tired of seeing her only on her i*******m pages and stories. I finally wanted her to know I am her anonymous husband even if the marriage was based on business, still it was a legal one. I had gotten married to Miss Brooks because of business reasons, I got what I wanted from her family and they got what they wanted. I didn’t care to take her with me be

Each trip left expense records, each one included transfers to James. Serena and I got married six years ago. Ethan turned five this year, and Noah six. While I had thought we were building a future together, she had long since built another family. The phone vibrated again. Liam sent another message: [There’s one more thing, Mr. Drake. The night you had your heart surgery, Ms. Serena was with James for his birthday.] … I stared at the words, and the world around me fell silent. I remembered every detail of that night.

It was because in her eyes, I was nothing but the son of her family's victim, a born sinner, a pathetic creature who deserved to be trampled underfoot. A metallic sweetness surged up my throat, and I bit down hard on my teeth to keep from coughing up blood. My eyes burned red, my blood boiling backward, every part of me screaming to tear her apart right then and there. Cassie saw my anguish and laughed even harder. "So? Arthur, is this secret worth trading for my life? Release me and restore everything to the Wynter Group, and I'll give you all the evidence from back then so you can clear your father's name. Otherwise, you'll live with this secret and suffer for the rest of your life! Your f

This wedding night hadn’t just taken my innocence. It had woken something in me. Something hungry. Something that wanted more than just one man, one life, one safe little story. I looked at Damian, then at Ace, Flynn, and Alaric as they dressed. “Tell me the rest tomorrow,” I said quietly. “All of it. No more secrets.” Ace met my eyes with a knowing smirk. “And after that?” I smiled, small and dangerous, as I leaned back against my husband’s chest. “Then we decide what kind of marriage this is really going to be.”

My breath caught, and my body stiffened as shock rippled through me. “What did you just call me?” I asked, my brows knitting together in sheer disbelief. Before I could protest further, Kurtis stepped in, pulling me into his side with a chuckle. The warmth of his hand against my arm sent an involuntary shiver up my spine. “I told you already, It was a secret marriage,” he said smoothly, as if this was the most natural thing in the world. “She’s not used to being called that yet.”

“This is the happiest day of your life. Smile, for heaven’s sake.” Kaila's voice ground on my nerves as her nails dove into my arm, directing me toward the plated swinging doors of the setting. Her fragrance, sharp and overwhelming, gripped the air between us. The texture of my white glossy silk dress felt choking, every last trace of it an untruth. "I'm marrying a man I scarcely know," I murmured brutally, yanking my arm free. "What precisely is there to grin about?"

And then, to my great frustration, laughed. "Married?" she repeated, and this time her tone did contain a smile. "Couldn't you have known it when your wife signed those divorce papers?" I clenched my teeth. "I couldn't." Becky's smile faltered. "What do you mean, you couldn't?" I pulled my hand out of my hair in annoyance. "I mean I never signed them. Which means I'm still married." She simply stood there for a second, her expression set, as if she was trying to hear what I'd said. Then her face hardened. "Well, isn't that nice," she said, climbing out of bed and pushing the covers off. "You could have warned me about that." "Right," I said, stepping back. "So get out of the bed."

Ricardo is right,there was no one she trusts or trusted enough to keep her safe. "I'll just leave you to think about-" "I agree" Natalie cut him off. "Let's get married, tomorrow we'll head to civil affairs and get our marriage license but I have rules." Nat continued Ricardo nodded slowly. When he didn't respond she continued. "You shouldn't reveal our relationship for the next 6 months,on no account should you interfere in my career." Natalie knew who Ricardo Rodriguez is that's why she added the last request,just a call from him will make people do his will.

She had fallen for him at first sight. At the urging of his grandfather, Mr. Howard Morgan, they went to the city hall and got married that same day. On their wedding night, he tossed her an agreement. "I have someone I love. I'm only marrying you because my grandfather pushed me into it. Take a look at this agreement, and if you're okay with it, sign it. We won't announce our marriage publicly. After three years, we'll divorce. I can't give you anything except money." He kept his word. For three years, he gave her his credit card to use freely, but never gave her an ounce of affection. Even when they had sex, his face remained cold.
