'But for you, I would have had a wife. You came and ruined it all, did you consider the lives you were ruining?' Jake asked. 'I did not think...' she started. 'Of course you were not thinking, you were just acting impulsively and now I have to bear the brunt but not alone. Oh, no. Not alone. You owe me and I mean to collect, Catherine Wells!' Cathy was not sorry for what she had done. He needed to have a taste of his own medicine. Whatever was good for the goose is also good for the gander!

Vengeance On The Heartless Billionaire Chapter 1 A Great Need

Catherine Wells covered her sister Carina Wells with the bed covers. She was trying not to show how desperate she was becoming and how scared too. She had to be strong for her sister, Carrie was now a ghost of her former self, Cathy thought as tears stung her eyes. She could not let Carrie see her tears. She quickly wiped the tears before turning to look at her sister.

'I want to get some drugs that will make you well soon', she said smiling determinedly. 'You will be up on your feetin no time, troubling me the way you usually do'.

Carrie moved her cheek in a shadow of a smile, and nodded. 'Were you crying just now?' she asked.

'Crying', Cathy feighed shock. 'Why would I do that?'

'There really is no need to cry, Cathy', she said. 'I am a big girl and I know that you will take this sickness away', she paused to gain a little strength.

The struggle to speak was visible and it tore at Cathy's heart and caused an unreasonable fear to envelop her. Carrie was going to survive this! she thought fiercely.

'Do not stress yourself talking, sweetheart. Let me go get the drugs and then we can stay together, Okay?'

Again Carrie nodded and beckoned on her big sister. Cathy drew closer to her.

'You're the best, sister. Thank you for taking such good care of me'.

The tears ce then, rolling down her cheek and she brushed them off fiercely. I want to do more for you, plum, she thought, but my hands are tied but I shall definitely make sure I live up to your love and confidence in me.

She hated to leave her like that but she had to act on the idea nagging at her. It was for Carrie's own good afterall.

With one last look, she walked purposefully out the door. On second thoughts though, she went briskly into the flat of her closest neighbour, a young female student called Ema to ask her help with her sister.

'I am sorry to disturb you this way, Ema', she said but please look in on my sister from time to time. I want to go down the street to get something for her and I am afraid she might need something while I am gone'.

'I have a class this afternoon, hope you will not be gone for long?' Ema asked.

'Of course not', she said looking incredulous. 'I will be back before you know it, just as soon as I get what I am going for'.

'It's all right then. I shall stay with her while you are gone but please be back soon'.

Cathy thanked her for being so considerate and hurried away. She hadn't wanted to tell her that she was not going down the street but to visit someone.

Cathy had recalled her father advising them to go to his friend Jake Hunt if they should be in need of assistant. Since she had exausted all her options, she decided to go to the man, praying that the man would be as her father had believed him to be and that he would help. His help, she hoped would go a long way to helping Carrie recover from the strange ailment ravaging her body and killing her slowly.

She looked once more at the address she had got from the directory to ensure she was at the right place and having confirmed that she was, she walked determinedly towards the gate of the hunts and the name 'The Hunts' Mansion', boldly written there like an epitaph.

'Yes, may I help you?' asked the guard at the gate.

'Yes, please', she said politely. 'l would like to see Mr. Hunt'.

'You wish to see Mr. Hunt? Do you have an appointment?' the guard asked.

'No, I don't', Cathy said 'But I have to see him'.

'Is he expecting you?'

'No, but it is quite urgent'.

'Ma'am you can't see him. He isn't even around', the guard said, frowning.

'Please, it is pertinent that I see him', she said desperate now and determined not to leave without seeing Jake Hunt, even if it meant running into the house without the guards allowing.'It is a matter of life and death'.

The guard looked at her sympathetically. He would have really liked to help but the girl seemed not to be listening.

'I really would love to help you, lady but I can't because Mr. Jake Hunt isn't here', the guard said. 'But his....'

'Sanctus!' a man called from inside the building.

'What is the commotion down there all about?' he asked haughtily.

'Excuse me sir, this girl said she needs to see Mr. Jake Hunt and I tried to tell her that she...'

'Let her in immediately', he ordered in a thunderous voice.

Catherine was very happy at being let in. She hurried into the main building, following the directions the guard had giving her. She soon found herself face to face with the man who had come to her rescue by asking her to be allowed in.

'Yes, young lady', he said.' Sounded like you needed to see me. How may I help you?'

'Are you Mr. Jake Hunt?'

'The one and only', he smiled wickedly, raising an eye brow.

' A good day to you, Mr. Hunt', she said glad that she had been able to see and speak to him. 'My father told me I could come to you. I need your help urgently'.

'Wait a minute. Who is your father and what help are requesting?' he asked quietly, eyeing her up and down in a sensual manner.

'Mr. Wells, he was a friend of your. At least that's what she told us before his death. I am here because my sister is critically ill and I need financial help from you, kind sir'.

'How much do you need?' he asked.

Catherine told him, hope visible in her eyes.

'And what makes you think that I have such an amount?' he asked.

Catherine was lost for words. She had been so sure that he was going to have the money to give her and willing to do that as well. She looked at the mansion and could not believe that such a man would not have the money to give her.

'I know because you are about the richest man around. I shall pay back the money, I promise. Just please give it to me, so that my sister can get the treatment she deserves and have a chance to live a healthy life'.

'What makes you think I am willing to give you the money? And how can you pay me back if you cannot even raise it to begin with?' he asked and Cathy coloured. 'Please leave this instant because I could not give my money to such as you. I work for my money and cannot throw it away by giving it to you!'

'Please sir, I will do anything ', she pleaded desperately.

'That's more like it', he leered. 'Are you serious about doing anything?'

'Yes, I could clear the whole garden, sweep the whole expanse of land, anything'.

He started laughing and looking at her lecherously as he said, 'You do not have to do all that. A girl who looks like you do only has to do one thing and that is to follow me upstairs and I shall tell you what I'd like you to do for me....'

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

Landslide

My bank account showed exactly $42.18, and my student loan notifications were flashing red. I lived in a sweltering Queens apartment with my Aunt Lydia, where the air was thick with the smell of stale frying oil and the constant threat of being homeless. Lydia handed me a grainy photo of a man twice my age and told me she had already "sold" me to him. He was a dry cleaner looking for a wife, and in exchange for my hand, he would pay off her credit cards and my debt. If I didn't show up for the date that night, my boxes would be on the curb by midnight. I arrived at the cafe in a state of panic, my selective mutism making it impossible to even breathe. In the crowded room, I accidentally sat at the wrong table. Instead of the man from the photo, I found myself facing Gerhard Holcomb—the cold, terrifyingly handsome billionaire whose family owned the very museum where I worked. He didn't send me away; instead, he studied my trembling hands and offered me a different deal: a two-year contract marriage, a two-million-dollar payout, and a strict clause forbidding any children. I signed the papers and moved into his Park Avenue penthouse, thinking I was finally safe. But when I went back to the old apartment to retrieve the only memento of my dead parents, Lydia lashed out, leaving me bleeding from a head wound. Gerhard’s retaliation was absolute—he had her arrested and her building foreclosed on within hours, claiming he was simply "protecting his assets." As I recovered in his silent, glass-walled home, I saw a call from a famous socialite flash on his phone, and a cold truth settled in my gut. I wasn't just a wife; I was a placeholder, a silent shield used to fend off the women from his past. I looked at the massive pink diamond on my finger and realized the silence I had lived in my whole life was about to become my most expensive prison. I had traded a life of poverty for a high-stakes game of shadows, and now I had to survive the man who claimed to own me.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda

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.

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

Xiao Xiaosu

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
