After my boyfriend of four years publicly humiliated me at a charity gala, calling me a "charity case," I drowned my sorrows at a dive bar and had a one-night stand with a stranger. I woke up the next morning in a luxury hotel suite to find out the stranger was Christian Porter, the most ruthless billionaire on Wall Street. Worse, paparazzi had photographed us leaving the bar. He coldly informed me that the photos would create a scandal that could tank his company's upcoming IPO, costing him hundreds of millions. As if my world wasn't collapsing fast enough, I got a call that my younger brother had been arrested for assaulting my ex in my defense. Christian didn't want my apology; he wanted a solution. He slammed a prenuptial agreement on the table in front of me. He gave me an ultimatum: sign a two-year marriage contract to turn the scandal into a corporate fairy tale, or he would ruin me. Trapped, I agreed. But when my furious brother confronted him at the police station, Christian looked him dead in the eye and said something that left me breathless. "I didn't marry her to solve a problem," he said, his voice echoing in the small room. "I married her because I've been in love with her for ten years."

Married to the CEO by Morning Chapter 1 1

The third shot of cheap tequila burned a violent path down Elenor's throat, forcing hot, physiological tears to the corners of her eyes.

She slammed the empty shot glass onto the sticky surface of the Tribeca bar.

The neon lights overhead buzzed, a harsh, grating sound that matched the pounding in her skull.

The bartender, a guy with too many tattoos and a sympathetic frown, slid a glass of ice water toward her.

"Do you need me to call you an Uber, miss?" he asked, his voice a low rumble beneath the heavy bass of the club music.

Elenor shook her head sharply.

Her vision blurred as she stared down at her phone, which was lying face-up on the counter. The screen lit up again. One Missed Call: Clemens.

Her stomach violently contracted.

Just three hours ago, under the crystal chandeliers of the Vincent family's annual charity gala, Clemens' voice had sliced through her chest like a serrated blade.

"She's just a charity case my family sponsors. Don't take her seriously."

The words echoed in her ears, magnifying until they drowned out the music.

Her lungs forgot how to process oxygen. She closed her eyes tightly, her trembling fingers reaching out to flip the phone face-down against the wood.

She just wanted the noise to stop. She wanted the crushing weight of her own pathetic existence to vanish.

"A neat whiskey. Macallan 25."

The voice came from right beside her. It was low, resonant, and carried an undeniable weight of authority that didn't belong in a dive bar.

Elenor's heavy eyelids fluttered open. She turned her head slowly, her alcohol-laced brain struggling to focus.

A man was sitting on the stool next to her. The dim, flashing neon lights caught the sharp, unforgiving line of his jaw.

He was dressed in a dark, impeccably tailored suit that screamed Upper East Side elite.

Elenor's brain was too numb to recognize the face that frequently graced the covers of financial magazines. She didn't see the youngest billionaire on Wall Street; she only saw a stranger.

The man turned his head. His eyes, dark and bottomless, locked onto her bloodshot ones.

He didn't look away. He held her gaze for three agonizingly long seconds.

Then, he slowly raised his whiskey glass toward her in a silent, restrained, yet incredibly invasive toast.

The unwavering focus in his eyes felt less like interest and more like an assessment, cold and penetrating.

Elenor flinched, her hand jerking backward in sudden panic. Her knuckles clipped the glass of ice water.

The glass tipped, sending freezing water cascading directly onto the lap of her silk dress.

She gasped, the icy shock snapping her out of her stupor. She scrambled for the cheap paper napkins on the bar, frantically dabbing at the ruined fabric.

A hand entered her field of vision.

Long, elegant fingers held out a dark, monogrammed handkerchief. It smelled faintly of cedarwood and cold rain.

Elenor hesitated before taking it. As her fingertips brushed against his cool knuckles, a jolt of static electricity shot up her arm.

She recoiled instantly, but the man didn't pull his hand back.

Instead, he seamlessly shifted his grip, his large hand wrapping around her trembling wrist.

"Are you in some kind of trouble?" he asked, his voice a low rumble that vibrated in her chest. There was a strange, almost imperceptible undertone of indulgence in his tone.

The combination of the alcohol, the freezing water on her dress, and the utter humiliation of the night finally broke her.

"I'm just a joke," Elenor blurted out, a bitter, broken laugh escaping her lips. "A pathetic, disposable joke."

The man's eyes darkened instantly. The temperature around them seemed to drop.

His thumb moved, slowly and deliberately stroking the erratic pulse at her wrist.

"Let's get you out of here," he murmured, his gaze dropping to her lips. "Somewhere you can actually breathe."

Elenor stared into those deep, dangerous eyes. The alcohol whispered that she had nothing left to lose.

She nodded, a jerky, thoughtless motion.

They walked out of the bar together. The crisp autumn wind of New York hit Elenor, making her teeth chatter violently.

Without a word, the man stripped off his suit jacket. He draped it over her bare shoulders. The residual heat of his body seeped into her freezing skin.

A black Maybach glided silently to the curb. A driver immediately stepped out and opened the rear door.

Elenor slid into the cavernous, leather-scented backseat. The man followed, and the heavy door clicked shut, sealing them inside.

The soundproof cabin blocked out the city entirely. The air between them instantly became thick and suffocatingly hot.

Elenor turned her head. The dim reading light illuminated the strong column of his neck and the sharp bob of his Adam's apple.

The tequila eradicated her last shred of inhibition.

She leaned forward, her hands gripping his broad shoulders, and crashed her lips against his.

For five years, my husband Damian fed me a bitter daily "tonic," claiming it was to help my fragile health. He told the entire pack I was a "withered wolf," too broken to shift and too barren to give him an heir. I believed him, until the new nanny walked in wearing my silk robe, smelling of my perfume and his sweat. Damian didn't even try to hide it. He demanded I sign a check to support his mistress's five children, sneering that since my womb was a "graveyard," I should pay for his legacy. He planned to humiliate me publicly at the Medical Summit, using me as a case study of failure to legitimize his illegitimate brood. But he made a fatal mistake. He thought I was too weak to check the books. My loyal Beta brought me the truth just hours before the speech. The tonic wasn't medicine; it was Wolfsbane, designed to suppress my Alpha wolf. And the infertility? It wasn't me. Medical records proved Damian had a vasectomy weeks before our wedding. He had been poisoning me and gaslighting me for half a decade to steal my fortune. I injected a dangerous stimulant to clear the fog and crashed his stage. I didn't just expose his sterility to the world; I stripped him of his rank and exiled him as a Rogue. As security dragged the screaming traitor away, a scent hit me—thunderstorms and raw, terrifying power. Alistair Finch, the most dangerous Alpha on the coast, rose from the VIP section. He walked straight to me, sparks flying as he touched my skin. "He is nothing," Alistair growled, pulling me into his arms. "And you are finally Mine."

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
