For five years, I believed I was living in a perfect marriage, only to discover it was all a sham! I discovered that my husband was coveting my bone marrow for his mistress! Right in front of me, he sent her flirtatious messages. To make matters worse, he even brought her into the company to steal my work! I finally understood, he never loved me. I stopped pretending, collected evidence of his infidelity, and reclaimed the research he had stolen from me. I signed the divorce papers and left without looking back. He thought I was just throwing a tantrum and would eventually return. But when we met again, I was holding the hand of a globally renowned tycoon, draped in a wedding dress and grinning with confidence. My ex-husband's eyes were red with regret. "Come back to me!" But my new groom wrapped his arm around my waist, and chuckled dismissively, "Get the hell out of here! She's mine now."

Love's Sweetest Surprise: From Brokenhearted To Billionaire's Wife Chapter 1 The Lie Was Exposed

"Brodie, have you completely lost it? What gave you the right to go behind Bethany's back and donate her bone marrow to Karen without her knowing?"

At VitaCore Hospital, Leyla Wilson burst into the exclusive suite, jabbing her finger at her younger brother, Brodie Wilson, as she unloaded her anger.

Bethany Wilson had just reached the door with her medicine in hand when she caught the sound of her husband and Leyla locked in a heated argument.

"I didn't have any other option, Leyla." Brodie's tone was so steady it almost sounded heartless. "Karen was on the verge of dying. Bethany's bone marrow was her only hope."

Those words sent a wave of cold dread washing over Bethany.

Karen? Karen Jenkins? That was Brodie's first love! She came back?!

The so‑called pre‑pregnancy screening Brodie insisted on-saying it was necessary for their future IVF plans-had been nothing but a fabricated excuse from the very beginning?!

He'd gone so far as to create an elaborate lie to get her to agree to a bone marrow extraction so that he could donate the marrow to Karen?!

Leyla snapped, "She hasn't been in good health for a while now, and even had a high fever for several days in a row. That was all because she was forced to give up her bone marrow, wasn't it?"

Her voice rang with disbelief and outrage. "Has Karen brainwashed you or something? You nearly died for her once before and spent five years confined to a bed. Bethany was the one who never left your side during all of that. Now that you're healthy, you'd seriously put your own wife's life at risk, all over Karen?"

"That's enough." Brodie cut her off, his voice flat. "The procedure went off without a hitch. Bethany's recovered, so there's no point dragging this out. Karen's only just gotten better, and bringing all this up will only stress her out."

Leyla snapped back, "So what about Bethany? Does she even matter to you at all?"

Leaning back against the cold hallway wall, Bethany felt as if her veins had turned to ice. A wave of sickness threatened to overwhelm her.

She still remembered the first time she saw Brodie, and she'd fallen for him in an instant at twenty years old.

Five years ago, Brodie was ambushed by enemies because of Karen and was left hanging by a thread.

Bethany hadn't thought twice before throwing herself between Brodie and those thugs, taking three knife wounds meant for him.

When she was rescued, she was covered in wounds.

On the day she was allowed to leave the hospital, Brodie clung to her, his face streaked with tears, swearing he would cherish her forever.

Since their wedding, he had been the kind of husband everyone envied-kind, patient, devoted.

She had always believed she was the happiest woman in the world.

Yet she never expected that her place in his heart was far inferior to that of his first love!

Inside the room, the shouting slowly faded away.

Bethany steadied her breath, lifted her chin, and quietly pushed open the door.

Inside the ward, Leyla's eyes were swollen from crying. As soon as she spotted Bethany, a rush of worry and guilt flashed across her face.

Brodie turned around at the noise, quickly hiding his unease beneath a gentle smile. "Did you get the medicine?" he asked, reaching for the pharmacy bag as if nothing was wrong.

Without a word, Bethany sidestepped him and answered in a calm, flat tone, "Yeah. Are we done here?"

Brodie shrugged it off as if he hadn't noticed her distance and gave her a warm smile. "Of course. Let's go."

As they made their way past the nurse's desk, hushed voices from two young nurses drifted over.

"See that? Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, they're picture-perfect."

"Seriously, Mrs. Wilson is living the dream. Mr. Wilson is rich, good-looking, and his reputation is spotless. She's really got a fairytale life."

"Honestly, Mrs. Wilson struck gold. Not everyone gets to marry a man who seems that perfect."

A perfect man? Bethany almost laughed at the thought. All she could think about was how he'd used her for his career, and now she was nothing more to him than a convenient donor for his old flame.

When they arrived at the hospital's entrance, Brodie's phone suddenly rang. He checked the caller ID, allowing a brief smile to appear on his face. Then, in a hurry, he silenced the call.

But Bethany still caught a glimpse of the name on his screen-Karen.

Instantly, she felt her heart plunge into freezing water.

"What is it? Who called you?" Her voice sounded scratchy and bitter.

Brodie brushed it off with a casual smile. "Oh, nothing important. There's just an urgent matter at work I need to deal with," he said, stretching out his hand to ruffle her hair. "I'll have a cab take you home so you can get some rest."

Bethany smoothly dodged his touch, meeting his eyes with steady composure. "But it's the weekend. What could possibly be so pressing that it can't wait until Monday?"

Brodie hesitated briefly, then softened his face into a look of gentle irritation. "Just listen, okay? I'll handle it fast and come straight back to you."

The words sounded affectionate, but she could hear the firmness behind them.

Pulling out his phone, Brodie effortlessly booked her a ride.

He made sure she was settled in, carefully shutting the car door behind her.

"Send me a message when you get home," he called out from the window, flashing his flawless smile.

The vehicle rolled forward, picking up speed.

In the rearview mirror, Bethany watched Brodie stride away, making a beeline for his sleek black Bentley, going in a direction she knew wasn't toward the office.

She let herself sink into the seat, eyes squeezed shut. When she finally opened them, her gaze was colder than ice.

This marriage felt pointless now, and she needed a divorce. No matter what it took, she would make sure it happened!

Her hard work and assets would never end up in the hands of that bastard or his mistress!

Bethany unlocked her phone and scrolled to a contact she almost never called. That number belonged to Daniel Barnes, a friend from college.

These days, he was one of Lzivier's most formidable attorneys, famous for never losing a single divorce case in court.

After steadying her nerves with a long breath, she dialed the number. "Hey, Daniel. It's Bethany..."

The second the call ended, a text message from an unfamiliar number lit up her screen, each word cold and merciless.

"I appreciate the bone marrow. You should just give up. What's the point of holding onto a man who doesn't love you anymore?"

Each word struck her like a branding iron, scorching Bethany to the core.

"Miss, are you feeling okay?" The driver asked, shooting a look at her in the rearview mirror.

Bethany couldn't get a word out. Lowering the window abruptly, Bethany let the rush of air slap her cheeks, trying desperately to cool the rage boiling inside.

The traffic light finally switched to green. The driver withdrew his gaze before stepping on the accelerator.

Just then, a black Maybach approached from the opposite direction.

In the back, Jonathan Taylor was buried in documents, but a strange pang in his chest made him pause and look up.

Through the glass, he caught a fleeting glimpse of Bethany's pale, anguished face as their cars passed each other.

"Go back," Jonathan ordered, his voice sharper than usual.

For a moment, surprise flickered across Jonathan's face, but he didn't waste a second. "Don't lose sight of that cab. Follow it!"

I arrived at my uncle’s mansion looking like human trash, clutching a one-way bus ticket and a duffel bag stuffed with old newspaper. My aunt looked at me with pure disgust, as if she could smell the poverty on my skin, but they needed me for one thing: to be a sacrificial lamb. They told me I was getting married to Julian Sterling, a man the elite circles called a violent monster locked in a cage. My uncle forced me to sign away my soul to save their failing fortune, while my cousin Kayla laughed and threw a torn dress at my feet, calling me a "rat from the Rust Belt." At the Sterling estate, the nightmare only deepened. Julian’s stepmother treated me like a horse she was forced to buy, ordering the staff to "burn off" my hair before locking me in the West Wing. I was thrown into a padded cell with a man who lunged at me, his heavy chains rattling against the floor as he roared with an animalistic rage that had already killed two nurses. They thought I was a pathetic, uneducated girl who "didn't read so good." They didn't know I had extorted two million dollars from my uncle before walking out the door, or that I was secretly recording every slap and insult they threw at me for future leverage. I huddled in the corner of that dark cell, letting them watch me tremble on the security feeds. I let Julian’s sister strike me with a riding crop and splash water in my face, playing the role of the clumsy, sobbing idiot to perfection. But the moment the cameras looped, the scared girl vanished. I pinned the "monster" to the floor, cut the neural tracking chip out of his neck with a hidden scalpel, and whispered into his ear as his blue eyes finally cleared. They thought they were sending a lamb to the slaughter. They had no idea they were sending a wolf to hunt a beast.

I went to the New York City Clerk's office to handle a simple administrative matter, but the woman behind the glass handed me a nightmare instead. It was a certified marriage license from Clark County, Nevada, filed exactly three months ago. My vision blurred as I read the name in the spouse field: Baxter Noel. I was legally married to the ruthless billionaire whose legal team was currently suing me for intellectual property theft and trying to destroy my career. I remembered the conference in Las Vegas and a drink that tasted far too sweet, followed by a twelve-hour black hole in my memory that I had chalked up to exhaustion. When I sought help at my family's estate, my stepmother and sister didn't offer comfort; they stole my passport, shredded my clothes, and framed me for academic plagiarism to strip away my university fellowship. Even Baxter himself looked me in the eye with cold indifference, claiming he didn't know me and promising to have me arrested for fraud if I ever showed him that document again. Within twenty-four hours, I was homeless, jobless, and being hunted by the most powerful man in the city. I couldn't understand why a man who "eats people for breakfast" would be caught in the same trap as a struggling scientist like me. The confusion turned to pure terror when I looked at the witness signature on the license: Gene Mcclain. My mother, who was supposed to have died in a car crash ten years ago, had signed that paper with a fresh, trembling hand only ninety days ago. "I am holding a grenade, and I have no idea when the pin was pulled." Standing in the biting November wind with nothing but a laptop and a marriage license, I realized I was just a pawn in a much deadlier game. I stopped running and began to fight back, determined to use my unwanted status as the billionaire's wife to uncover the truth about the mother who came back from the dead.

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.
