The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Novels & Stories

I gave him a single nod. "Accepted," Dominic said. "As presented." Sandra made a note. Mara didn't visibly react but I saw her shoulders drop slightly, just a fraction, the way they did when she released tension she had been holding for too long. I had forgotten I knew her body language that well. The remembering was uncomfortable. We signed the preliminary agreement. The wedding was scheduled for four days later. Civil ceremony, no guests, a courthouse on the quieter side of the city. Mara's conditions had included keeping it small and I had no objection to that.

"They were going to put my father in prison. I didn't have a choice. I didn't even know I was pregnant yet when I took the money—" "You took the money," Julian repeated, the warmth in his eyes dying instantly, replaced by a cold, jagged wall of ice. He let go of her waist as if she had suddenly turned into a serpent. "All this time, I thought you were the one pure thing in my life. But you were just another transaction." "Julian, wait!" But he was already turning away, his face a mask of stone. The cameras flashed, capturing the moment the Billionaire turned his back on his bride-to-be.

Marcus would destroy her. "Why are you so calm?" she whispered, looking up at him. "This ruins your reputation too." Adrian laughed, a dark, dry sound. "Sweetheart, I’m a billionaire bachelor. A scandal involving a stolen bride doesn't ruin me; it makes me a legend. My stock went up three points this morning." He walked toward her, stopping only when his knees brushed against hers. He reached out, tilting her chin up with his knuckle. "You, on the other hand, have lost everything."

The kind of man you read about in business magazines, not criminal reports. ‎ ‎I blink at the file, the name stamped across the tab in bold black ink. “You’re joking.” ‎ ‎“I don’t joke about billionaires who might be laundering money through half the world’s defense grids.” ‎ ‎A chill moves down my spine. “You’re saying Vale Industries is dirty?” ‎

“Look at you. You look so beautiful in that wedding dress. The silk fits you perfectly, and the lace… it’s really lovely. You look like a real bride.” I turned slowly to face her, my face looking tired that even the makeup couldn't hide it. “I hope you all are happy now?” She stepped closer, reaching out to adjust the veil on the wedding gown. “Sarah, sweetheart, please. I know this is difficult, but try to see the good in it. Adrian is a powerful man. You’ll live in luxury. You’ll never have to worry about money or status again. This marriage will save our family. Calm down!”

"My grandfather, the founder of the Vallocchi Group, was a man of traditional, if somewhat stagnant, values. His will contains a specific clause regarding the succession of the family empire. To maintain my position as Chairman and secure the final forty percent of the inheritance, I must be married—or at least, publicly committed to a suitable bride—by the end of this fiscal year." Lily let out a short, disbelieving laugh. "You’re a billionaire. You could have any woman in this city. Why go through the trouble of buying a girl from a slum and forcing her into a contract?" Dante leaned forward, his shadow falling over the desk. "Because 'any woman' in this city comes with a family, a backgro

Blurb Adrian Vale does not believe in love. He believes in control, contracts, and winning. When his powerful grandmother makes marriage a condition for inheriting the Vale family empire, Adrian decides to solve the problem the easiest way possible and he hires a woman to play the role of his fiancée. Lena Brooks is not special, she is not wealthy, connected, or ambitious. She is just a woman trying to survive, drowning under medical bills and responsibility. When Adrian offers her a deal that could save her family, she agrees to pretend to love a man who swore he never would. What starts as a business arrangement quickly turns into something neither of them planned. Because Adrian’

This is awkwardly insane, highest level of insanity. “Yes and yes. We are going to have a very private wedding. It is just for me to get my inheritance and that's final." he answered, the way he cares about his inheritance puzzles me. I mean he's already a billionaire why does he want another billion dollar company desperately like this. I guess when you have money you just want more and more.

She says and the entire crowd bursts into laughter. "All the way from Boston, he was crowned America's most eligible billionaire bachelor foe three years in a row by Vogue, but he dropped the title after he marries american beauty Willow daughter of one the greatest oil producers in the world. He still didn't drop a title. The youngest billionaire in the world and fifth most richest person, here with his wife, please say hi to them," She says and I raise my hands in the air. They applaud for the both of us and I smile a them. They continued with the event as Luciano skates over to me.

"Hey!" Yu Meilin laughed and gave Maria a friendly blame, "I think, the fact this string of jade beads broke, is my husband telling me who the orchard should be sold to. You are very pleasing to me. I have decided to sell the orchard to you at market price, one billion, not a penny more, not a penny less." One billion?! What Maria had written just now was two billion! It's actually halved?! She couldn't help but raise her head and chuckle, "I never thought that the lover's knot would be worth so much. If I had known, I would have sold braided ropes before."
