While we were married Chapter 1 It always starts with a proposal.

"No mum this can't be,I'm not getting married,I'm not saying I won't, but not as an arranged marriage." Annabelle said,defiantly at her mother who just informed her about the marriage proposal from the Stuart family. An elite family from London who are well known in the city for having big connections all over the country. From what she knows,her father had a good connection with the Stuart's and the marriage was as a result of a business deal. She thought she was finally free from her parent's control,they had always made choices for her all her life.

she also never liked the idea of an arranged marriage,she read how the men maltreat their wives in several novels and books. Her mother was quiet, watching her blab on how she wouldn't agree to the marriage.

Anna was cunning,smart and scheming. She always used her tears as a weapon.

Anabelle was the only child of Mr and Mrs Wilson. And her mother couldn't bare to see her cry or being sad. Anna was just nineteen and had just finished college. She had so many dreams and didn't want everything to end with getting married. Seeing her mother payed no attention to her, She faked tears and started sobbing. But didn't expect the response her mother gave when she suddenly spoke.

"Shut up Annabelle,this marriage is for your own good as well as the company's. We have no choice,that's the only way to save our company from bankruptcy, just thank your god's they brought this proposal earlier.

Besides you're getting married to one of the biggest families in the city It's the best match for a family of our status." Mrs Wilson explained briefly to her,ignoring the crocodile tears on her face.

Annabelle was shocked,her mother never spoke to her that way,is she really serious about pushing her into getting married?. Hell no,she won't agree.

"Mother I am not getting married." She said this time, with much determination.

Mrs Wilson smiled and stroked her hair gently.

"Don't worry Annabelle, you'll get used to it, please just be a good girl and let the adults handle this. I promise,this would be the best decision for you and our family." She said calmly.

Annabelle scoffs ."my own good? My own good you say? You're using me as a bait to achieve your own ulterior motives you both don't love me, you've never for once care about my choices or how I feel about the choices you both make for me." She blurted out and was quiet. Trying to catch her breath from the yelling. Then she continued.

"All you care about is your status and your company, you both don't have regards for my feelings." Immediately she finished talking,she felt a hard hit in her face.

Mrs Wilson gave Annabelle a slap across her face. She felt Anna talked to her in a disrespect manner and she had to put her in place.

"shut it young lady I won't allow you sit there and spill rubbish to me.

We're doing this for your own good.

Where do you think we get the money we use in caring for your needs, we've been giving you the best since the very day you were born.

How do you think we afford this luxurious lifestyle. And don't even try to do anything stupid like running away,

It will be of no use cause you'll be followed around by bodyguards from now on."

"What on earth do they want from me ?,"

Jason frowned after his personal assistant David just Informed him his parents had sent for him for the third time today. "How did they knew he was in the country?" He thought.

"Get the car ready." He said coldly and David left immediately to do it.

Jason walked into the mansion escorted by David and a bodyguard, the villa looked strange to him, it's been more than ten years since he left the city to study abroad.

In the living room, designed luxuriously and a beautiful silk curtains covering the windows. Jason could be seen sitting on the couch,while Mrs Stuart sits close to him.

He had an uncomfortable look on his face while she spoke to him.

"Jason,You arrived in the city since five days and you didn't call,we had to find out ourselves." Mrs Stuart scolded. Jason's grandma had told her a few days ago,that Jason was in the country .

"Since you had people watch me,I think it's natural for you to find out from them. Or what did you employ them for?" Jason retorted rudely to his mother.

When Jason was a kid,he never got the attention he needed from his parents. His father was abusive and hits him severally. His mother almost didn't care about his existence. After he almost attempt suicide,he was sent abroad to live with his grandma. Since then,he never considered them his family.

"You're getting married." His mother finally said after a brief silence.

Jason frowned,how dare they try to make decisions for him. He did his best obeying them by coming now they want to cross their limits? He thought.

"I'm not getting married." He replied briefly. Hearing the word marriage made him feel irritated immediately and he was eager to leave. Jason hated the thought of having his marriage arranged under any circumstances. His parents were bonded by an arrangement and he also didn't want that for himself.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

I thought I was waking up in the arms of Arthur, the man I loved. But as the morning light hit the Hamptons estate, the man buttoning his cuffs by the window turned around with eyes like chips of ice. It was Augustus Riddle, Arthur’s cruel younger brother, and I had just spent the night whispering confessions of love into the wrong man's ear. The night I thought was a beautiful beginning turned into a devastating nightmare. Instead of comfort, Gus treated me like a stain on his expensive carpet, scribbling a check for "services rendered" before shoving me into a dark service corridor to hide my existence from his brother. "How much does it cost to buy your silence?" He sneered, before leaving me barefoot in a torrential downpour while he drove away in a luxury Cadillac. Four years later, I am a struggling actress in Los Angeles, working double shifts as a barista just to keep the lights on. My life was finally stable until my roommate dragged me to a high-end dinner to meet her new "influential" boyfriend. The man sitting at the table, looking more arrogant and lethal than ever, was Augustus. He spent the entire night humiliating me, calling me a pathetic amateur and a social climber in front of my only friends. When I fled into the rain and collapsed on the sidewalk, skinning my knee until I bled, he watched from his car. He saw me clutching a plastic baggie containing the taped-together pieces of that four-year-old check—the only proof of my shame. He looked at me like roadkill, rolled up his window, and drove off into the dark. I couldn't understand why he was doing this. Why did he hate me enough to crush me, yet remember that I couldn't handle the smell of cigarette smoke? Why did he leave me bleeding in the street, only to send expensive medical supplies and coffee to my door the very next morning? "I'm moving out." I told my roommates, realizing that Gus Riddle didn't just want to destroy me; he wanted to haunt me. I grabbed my suitcase and walked out with eighty dollars to my name, finally ready to disappear into the city before he could burn the rest of my life to the ground.

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.
