Alicia believed for years she was deeply in love with Michael, until she regained her sight and caught him and her sister boldly betraying her. The man who'd pretended to be her husband while she was blind turned out to be a beggar hired for the deception-her own parents complicit in the scheme to steal her fortune. Heartbroken, Alicia struck back, hiring the poor man to help her reclaim what was hers. As their act unfolded, true feelings grew. Just as things seemed to be going well, Michael found himself regretting his betrayal, captivated by Alicia's newfound radiance. When Michael begged her back, the world was shocked: the beggar was actually a secret tycoon who gave Alicia the grandest love-and all he owned.

My Billionaire In Disguise: Marrying A Poor Husband Who Owns The World Chapter 1 It's Your Husband, Alicia!

"Baby, you're absolutely incredible."

A sultry haze of lust and murmured intimacy clung to the living room air, heavy enough to make the space feel tainted.

From the doorway, Alicia Barton froze as she took in the sight of Michael Barton, her husband, tangled shamelessly with Kaelyn Gill-the Gill family's biological daughter and her so-called sister-right there on the sofa, a cold tremor crawling up her spine and sinking into her chest.

"Alicia?" Startled by her presence, Michael fumbled and yanked his pants into place, his movements rushed and clumsy.

Kaelyn looped her arms around his neck, teeth grazing his earlobe as she breathed out lazily, "Why bother with her? It's not like she can see us. Besides, it's not the first time we've done this right in front of her."

Though her whisper was low and indulgent, every word landed clearly in Alicia's ears, sharpened by her unnaturally keen hearing.

Never, not even in her darkest imaginings, had Alicia expected that the very day her sight returned would be the day she discovered her husband in Kaelyn's arms.

Alicia clamped her teeth into her lower lip, forcing herself not to cry as her voice quivered. "What... what are you doing?"

Kaelyn let out a flirtatious laugh, her tongue casually sweeping over her damp lips. "Relax, Alicia. My boyfriend and I were just having a little fun," she purred. "Want to join us?"

Michael was Kaelyn's boyfriend!?

A bone-deep chill rushed through Alicia, freezing her from the inside out.

If that was true... then who had she married?

Not long ago, she had lost her sight in a car accident while trying to save Kaelyn.

When she finally woke up, it was Michael-her childhood sweetheart-who had insisted on marrying her despite her blindness.

She had been overwhelmed with gratitude and emotion.

Yet after the wedding, an unease had quietly taken root-Michael's voice didn't sound the same as she remembered.

When she questioned it, Michael calmly explained that unbearable grief had torn his vocal cords, leaving his voice permanently altered.

It turned out they had been lying to her since the very start.

The thought of Kaelyn making out with Michael when she had been blind while she herself had stood there smiling like a fool and offering her blessings turned her stomach.

How could they bring themselves to do something so cruel to her?

A violent urge rose inside Alicia, a desperate need to rip that rotten couple apart and expose everything.

Still, reason forced her to rein it in. Letting them know she had regained her sight would ruin everything.

For now, she needed to stay quiet and uncover what those two were really plotting behind her back.

At that moment, a sharp doorbell chime cut through the room.

Without hesitation, Kaelyn hurried over to answer it, and from the corner of her vision, Alicia caught sight of a man standing just beyond the threshold.

He towered in the doorway, broad shoulders stretching the fabric of a plain shirt, black pants sitting neatly along long, straight legs.

His features were sharp and well-defined-deep-set eyes, a straight nose, and lips drawn into a cool, unreadable line.

When his gaze fell on Alicia, it didn't wander or soften; it pinned her in place with an unmistakable sense of possession.

Alicia's chest tightened. She couldn't recall ever seeing him before.

Forcing herself to steady her breathing, she asked evenly, "Kaelyn, who's there?"

"It's me." The low, husky voice struck her like a jolt of electricity.

Before she could react, a pair of large hands settled firmly on her shoulders, heat seeping through the fabric. A clean, crisp scent of pine washed over her.

That smell... it was the same scent from her wedding night!

With a sugary giggle, Kaelyn replied, "It's your husband, Alicia!"

Looping her arms around Michael's neck, she added, deliberately stressing every word, "He's the man you've been dreaming of marrying since you were a little girl."

A shiver ran through Alicia as she stood frozen, forced to witness Michael willingly slide his arms around Kaelyn's waist, their faces nearly touching.

Clamping her teeth down on her lip, Alicia fought the savage urge to lunge forward and tear that lying, filthy pair apart. The sharp metallic tang flooded her mouth as the pressure bit deep.

Without warning, icy fingers closed firmly around her palm.

The sudden contact made Alicia flinch.

From just above her head came a voice stripped of warmth, calm and lethal. "Clean yourselves up and get out. From this moment on, you are not to step foot in this place again without my permission. Ignore that, and I'll call the police and have you charged with trespassing."

The color drained from both Kaelyn's and Michael's faces.

Kaelyn screeched, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you-"

Her outrage was cut off mid-sentence the instant her eyes collided with the man's cold, unwavering stare.

With an unhurried motion, the man slipped an arm around Alicia's shoulders, the chill in his eyes easing into something unexpectedly gentle. "Come on, honey," he said softly, his voice low and reassuring. "I'll take you back to your room so you can rest."

Alicia drew her lips into a thin line, uneasy and conflicted, yet she didn't resist as he guided her away.

Ever since she lost her sight, her hearing had grown keen. Even as she walked off, she distinctly caught the furious murmurs behind her, no matter how carefully they tried to lower their voices.

Pure malice flashed across her face as Kaelyn spat, "That wretched beggar. Just because he's got a decent face, he thinks he can act like he runs this place? If we didn't need this marriage to move Gill Group's shares through Alicia's name, I'd have crushed him already. Who the fuck does he think he is, barking orders at me?"

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

I had been a wife for exactly six hours when I woke up to the sound of my husband’s heavy breathing. In the dim moonlight of our bridal suite, I watched Hardin, the man I had adored for years, intertwined with my sister Carissa on the chaise lounge. The betrayal didn't come with an apology. Hardin stood up, unashamed, and sneered at me. "You're awake? Get out, you frumpy mute." Carissa huddled under a throw, her fake tears already welling up as she played the victim. They didn't just want me gone; they wanted me erased to protect their reputations. When I refused to move, my world collapsed. My father didn't offer a shoulder to cry on; he threatened to have me committed to a mental asylum to save his business merger. "You're a disgrace," he bellowed, while the guards stood ready to drag me away. They had spent my life treating me like a stuttering, submissive pawn, and now they were done with me. I felt a blinding pain in my skull, a fracture that should have broken me. But instead of tears, something dormant and lethal flickered to life. The terrified girl who walked down the aisle earlier that day simply ceased to exist. In her place, a clinical system—the Valkyrie Protocol—booted up. My racing heart plummeted to a steady sixty beats per minute. I didn't scream. I stood up, my spine straightening for the first time in twenty years, and looked at Hardin with the detachment of a surgeon looking at a tumor. "Correction," I said, my voice stripped of its stutter. "You're in my light." By dawn, I had drained my father's accounts, vanished into a storm, and found a bleeding Crown Prince in a hidden safehouse. They thought they had broken a mute girl. They didn't realize they had just activated their own destruction.

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.
