She found it hard to resist him and neither did her wedding ring. People called it cheating, she called him a meaningful tool. A blissful marriage with a masculine attraction. What a distraction! "No one has to know" he said to her too.

TAKEN Chapter 1 Prologue

Prologue

"I love how you make me feel" she held him tightly not allowing him to leave the room and also in a way that made her vulnurable. He wanted to push her away, but he was being careful, he didn't want to hurt her too. He cried for help inside of him like he would receive any answer. Yes. he kind of caught feelings on the way, but he couldn't handle this anymore. He was tired. This wasn't right. It hadn't felt right from the start.

"You're taken!" he bellowed at her. His sudden outburst made her stiff at first, but when his countenance became softer, she relaxed. He blamed himself for not saying this words earlier, for making her take advantage of him, for not setting standards from the onset. But looking at her again, he shook his head, she was also not the person to take a fall or flinch for a shout. She started the game with him because she was ready.

Presently, she felt weak. She looked at her hand and pulled out the ring on her fourth finger. She pointed it at him and her voice broke.

"I don't want this anymore, I..would sacrifice this for us!"

"NO!" his rage filled the room, this time fear gripped her, she felt weak and nervous. He wasn't listening. She wanted him so bad, and presently she didn't care how any other person feels about the situation. She could tell from his expression that he was frustrated. She has made him go through a lot for the past few months, was this payback. As much as she felt like threatening him as usual. She has caught too much feelings to do so. Moreover, he had the upper hand now due to her condition.

"I would never do this to him!" his voice broke too, he had betrayed him, more was expected from him. Why did things go sideways. He wanted to leave the house. Leave all this behind. But guilt gripped him. He stared at her eyes and his heart skipped, he didn't know what he was doing wrong, leaving or staying.

"No one has to know" she whimpered holding his hands tight.

It was her usual rhyme. From the first time 'they' started till now. He couldn't believe she could utter those words again. Although with much concern and fear, the words hit him and he blamed himself for being in this gullible situation. There were so many reasons why no one had to know and all were negatives.

Things will fall apart!

Families would break, heart will shatter, anger will build, hatred will rule, lies would laugh, bond will lose, all this for uncontrollable genitals.

Was it worth it?

He didn't know if he was able to take this risk or not. She looked ready to bare all this. But he couldn't believe someone could go this far for him. He loosen her grip on his hand, took her wedding band and placed it back in her fingers.

Was this the only way to seal a promise?

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

The $300 Husband Is A Zillionaire

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.

The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback

The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.
