Married To My Ex-Fiancé's Silent Uncle

Married To My Ex-Fiancé's Silent Uncle

Twenty minutes before the "Wedding of the Century" at The Plaza, I stood outside the Presidential Suite in a fifty-thousand-dollar Vera Wang gown. I was the girl from a West Virginia trailer park about to marry Hugh Maxwell, the golden heir to a billion-dollar defense empire. I pushed the door open only to find Hugh pinned against the bed with my own stepsister, Floy. She was wearing my bridal diamond necklace, and the sounds of their laughter scraped against my eardrums like sandpaper. I didn't scream; I listened as Hugh grunted that once the wedding was over and the trust fund unlocked, he'd dump "that hillbilly trash" on a bus back to the mountains. They weren't just cheating; they were planning to steal my family's land deeds and leave me with nothing. When I set off the sprinklers and exposed their naked bodies to the paparazzi, the Maxwell family didn't apologize. They called me a "greedy peasant" and threatened to ruin my life unless I signed a new deal to save their crashing stock. I realized then that I was never a bride to them. I was a transaction, a rounding error in a ledger to be used and discarded. They thought my poverty made me weak and my silence made me a victim. "If we don't have a marriage certificate by midnight, the bank freezes thirty percent of our liquidity," their lawyer warned. So, I gave them exactly what they wanted. I used a loophole in their hundred-year-old family covenant and married the only other direct heir available. I didn't marry Hugh. I walked into the ICU and married his uncle, Fleet Maxwell-the legendary war hero who had been in a vegetative state for months. Now, I am the matriarch of the Maxwell dynasty. I've suspended Hugh's executive powers, exiled my mother-in-law to the Swiss Alps, and taken control of the family vault. They think I'm just a gold-digger waiting for a "corpse" to die so I can collect a fifty-million-dollar widow's payout. But last night, as I lay beside my comatose husband, the man they called a vegetable gripped my hand back.
Jilted Heiress: Marrying The Untouchable Tycoon

Jilted Heiress: Marrying The Untouchable Tycoon

Allison Montgomery was waiting at the airport when an audio alert from her parked Range Rover flashed on her phone. Assuming it was a break-in, she checked the live dashcam feed, only to see her fiancé, Finn, and her younger sister, Cheyanne, passionately making out in the backseat. "Tell me I'm better than her," Cheyanne whispered. "Tell me I'm better than Allison." "You are," Finn gasped. "God, you are." When Allison confronted her family with the video, she expected justice. Instead, her uncle and mother fiercely defended the cheaters. They blamed Allison's "cold and frigid" nature for pushing Finn away, victim-blaming her in front of the entire household staff. To protect their corporate alliance, her uncle ruthlessly announced that the engagement would be transferred to Cheyanne, and threatened to strip Allison of her inheritance. Stripped of her fiancé, her family, and her dignity, Allison realized her pristine twenty-year life was a complete lie. The people who were supposed to love her were actively protecting her abusers, leaving her utterly isolated and burning with a cold, protective rage. Refusing to be their victim, Allison targeted Finn's ruthless, billionaire uncle, Adam Kensington, proposing a fake marriage to secure the capital needed to crush her family. But when the notoriously untouchable Wall Street phantom not only accepted her proposal, but demanded she immediately move into his penthouse to raise his secret daughter, Allison realized she had just sold her soul to the devil.
Divorcing the CEO: He Never Wanted Me Until I Left

Divorcing the CEO: He Never Wanted Me Until I Left

For three years, Estella Mccarthy was the wife Alden Molina never wanted. She wore the ring. She attended his family dinners. She smiled beside the Wall Street billionaire whenever their marriage contract required it. And foolishly, somewhere along the way, she fell in love with him. Alden never did. The night they were supposed to have dinner together, Estella waited alone until his assistant finally texted her. “Mr. Molina will be staying at the Four Seasons tonight.” Not even a message from her husband himself. That was the night Estella asked for a divorce. Alden barely took her seriously. “If you’re trying to get my attention, there are easier ways to do it.” Then she rescued a half-starved stray cat and brought it home. Alden froze her supplementary credit cards. At a Molina family dinner, his mother looked straight at Estella and declared, “A marriage that fails to produce an heir is nothing more than a depreciating asset.” Estella waited for her husband to defend her. Alden kept cutting his steak. So she smiled and replied, “As talented as I am in an operating room, conception still generally requires the husband to show up.” That shut the table up. But Alden still didn't understand. He didn't understand when Estella moved out. He didn't understand when she left her engagement ring behind. He didn't understand even after he dragged her into his car for a “family emergency”—then dumped her beside a subway station in freezing rain the second a billion-dollar business crisis became more important. By then, Estella wasn't heartbroken anymore. She was done. Back at the hospital, a curious resident asked why no one had ever met her husband. Estella took one calm sip of coffee. “He died.” The resident nearly dropped her mug. “What happened?” “Sudden illness. He was an accountant. Very quiet man.” In one conversation, Estella Mccarthy turned one of Wall Street’s most powerful CEOs into a dead accountant. It was the most peace her marriage had given her in three years. And the Molinas had made one other mistake. They had spent years treating Estella like a gold digger who should be grateful Alden married her. They conveniently forgot why the marriage existed in the first place. The Molina family had come to her. They needed priority rights to the priceless medical patent Estella inherited from her late parents. She hadn't married Alden for his money. His family had married him to her for what she owned. Now the brilliant surgeon they never respected wants her name back, her freedom back, and every cent the law says belongs to her. Alden Molina always believed his wife would stay. Until she left. And suddenly, the woman he never wanted became the one woman he couldn't let go.
