She married him out of desperation, becoming the perfect docile wife while he treated her like dirt beneath his shoes. But everything shattered the night she overheard him mocking her with his friends-and discovered the necklace she'd cherished, her only link to the boy who once saved her life, didn't even belong to him. It was all a lie. No longer the doormat he married, she discards her fake identity and reclaims her birthright as the hidden heiress of Salvadore City. Now she's on a mission: find the necklace's true owner among his circle of friends, no matter how many hearts she has to break along the way. But her husband isn't ready to let go. Convinced she's playing games to make him jealous, he's blindsided when divorce papers land in his hands. By the time he realizes the woman he dismissed was never who he thought she was, she's already moved on-living her truth, chasing her destiny, and leaving him choking on regret. Some cages, once opened, can never be closed again.

His Tamed Wife, The Wild Heiress Chapter 1 The Discovery

Chapter 1

ADRIA

I stood outside the VIP room with trembling hands, clutching the thermos of soup that still burned my palms through the insulated container. The hallway of Eclipse Club reeked of expensive cologne and poor decisions, much like my marriage.

"Sir, your wife is here with the soup for Miss Amber," Adina's voice filtered through the slightly ajar door before I could knock.

My husband's secretary. Always so efficient, always so beautiful in her tailored suits that probably cost more than my entire wardrobe. I'd tried befriending her once, during the first month of our marriage. She'd looked at me the way one might look at a stray dog-with pity and mild disgust.

"Tell her to leave it with you," Damien's voice replied, cold and dismissive. "I don't want her embarrassing me in front of everyone."

I should have left. God knows I should have turned around, gone home, and pretended I hadn't heard that. But my feet remained rooted to the plush carpet, and my heart-that stupid, desperate thing-still held onto the foolish hope that maybe, just maybe, he didn't mean it the way it sounded.

"Come on, Damien," another male voice laughed. "Your wife isn't that bad. She's pretty easy on the eyes, at least."

"Easy on the eyes?" Damien scoffed. "Marcus, the woman has zero personality. She follows me around like a lost puppy, agrees to everything I say, and has absolutely no backbone. Do you know what it's like being married to someone so... bland?"

The thermos nearly slipped from my grip. I pressed myself against the wall, hidden by the decorative column, my breath caught somewhere between my throat and my breaking heart.

"Then why'd you marry her?" This voice belonged to Kieran, Damien's childhood friend. I'd met him twice, both times brief and unmemorable.

"Honestly? I felt sorry for her." Damien's laugh was cruel, sharp enough to cut through whatever remained of my dignity. "She was so pathetic, always showing up wherever I was, looking at me with those desperate eyes. I figured she was an orphan with nothing going for her, and I thought... why not? A wife who worships the ground you walk on and asks for nothing? Seemed like a decent arrangement."

"An arrangement that's about to get complicated now that Amber's back," Adina chimed in, her voice carrying a smugness that made my stomach churn.

Amber. His first love. The woman whose photos I'd found tucked in his study drawer three months into our marriage. The woman who looked eerily similar to me-same dark hair, same petite frame, same wide eyes. I'd convinced myself it was coincidence, that maybe he saw something in me he'd loved in her.

What a fool I'd been.

"Amber and I have unfinished business," Damien said, his voice softening in a way it never had when he spoke to me. "She left for Paris before we could make things official. Now she's back, and-"

"And you're married to her knockoff version," Marcus interrupted with another laugh. "Man, that's cold even for you."

My vision blurred. Sixteen years. I'd waited sixteen years to find the boy who saved me.

I was six years old when it happened, burning with fever in that abandoned warehouse where my kidnappers had left me. The memories were fragmented, fever-distorted, but I remembered the feel of cool water on my cracked lips, gentle hands checking my pulse, and a voice-young but steady-telling me I'd be okay. Before he left to get help, I'd pressed my most precious possession into his palm: my mother's necklace, a delicate silver chain with an emerald pendant shaped like a teardrop.

"Find me when you're older," I'd whispered in my delirium. "This is a promise."

He couldn't have been more than eight, but he'd nodded solemnly and disappeared into the night. By the time the police found me, he was gone. The authorities assumed he was another street kid, impossible to trace. My parents had been frantic, grateful I was alive but unable to comprehend why I kept crying about a necklace and a boy with kind eyes.

Eighteen months ago, I'd bumped into Damien outside a coffee shop in the financial district. Literally bumped into him, my latte splashing across his expensive suit. I'd been stammering apologies when I saw it-the emerald teardrop pendant hanging around his neck, slightly hidden beneath his collar.

My necklace. My promise. My savior.

Everything else had ceased to exist in that moment. I didn't see the irritation on his face or hear his sharp words about the stain. I only saw salvation, destiny, the answer to sixteen years of searching.

From that day forward, I'd dedicated myself to being near him. I'd learned his routine, showed up at his favorite restaurants, joined the same gym, volunteered at charity events his company sponsored. People called me obsessed. My friend Maya called me insane. But how could I explain that I wasn't chasing a stranger? I was chasing the boy who'd saved my life, the promise I'd made to a feverish child's dream.

When he'd finally acknowledged my existence, I'd been ecstatic. When he asked me out, I'd cried. When he proposed after only eight months-a rushed, practical proposal in his office with no ring and barely any emotion-I'd said yes before he could finish the sentence.

I'd molded myself into whatever he wanted. Quiet when he wanted peace. Absent when he wanted space. Agreeable when he wanted compliance. I'd buried Adriana Salvadore, secret heiress to the Salvadore empire, and become Adriana Chen, orphaned nobody, because he'd mentioned once that he found wealthy, powerful women intimidating.

All for a boy who'd saved me.

Except he wasn't that boy.

"Hey, Damien, where'd you get that necklace anyway?" Kieran's question pierced through my spiraling thoughts. "I've never seen you take it off."

My heart stopped.

"This?" Damien's voice carried confusion. "A friend lent it to me, what, two years ago? Said it made me look more sophisticated for the Singapore deal. I just never got around to returning it."

The hallway tilted. Or maybe I did.

"Dude, you've been wearing a borrowed for two years?" Marcus laughed. "

The thermos slipped from my hands, hitting the carpet with a muffled thud. Soup seeped through the lid, spreading across the burgundy fibers like blood.

Everything I'd sacrificed. Everything I'd endured. Every piece of myself I'd carved away to fit into his life.

For a borrowed necklace and a man who'd never saved anyone but himself.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

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.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.
