"The heavens are really favoring you, since you two had a night together. Shouldn't you be responsible for her?" Mark exclaimed excitedly. "The heavens are not favoring me but toying with me instead" Lucian replied calmly, but his eyes were filled with sadness. "What nonsense are you spouting? Tell me exactly what happened, can't..." "She is already engaged" Lucian had always wished to marry his childhood crush, but as the next heir of the Henderson company, he had to go through a lot of training overseas, and he swore to himself he would confess his love to her and marry her once he returns. Seven years later, Lucian returned, but the table had turned as she was already engaged. Engaged to his stepbrother. Why would she spend the night with Lucian when she was engaged?

Love Under The Starry Skies Chapter 1 Encounter

Mia woke up slowly from the bed in a daze.

Her mind was cloudy and she was still feeling groggy,her body was achy and sore and most importantly,she was naked under the duvet het body littered with marks and bruises.

"What kind of dream is this?".

She pinched herself and gasped in pain ,the pain made her realize it was reality and not a dream.

The memories from the previous night started flooding in.she had attended her fiance's family company anniversary which was held in one of their newly launched hotel.

Later in the evening,she was enjoying the beautiful view in the garden after the guests dispersed but she suddenly felt dizzy and hot,a staff who was nearby offered to walk her to her room and then this happened.

"Ah.....",she screamed and the man beside her woke up with a start.

"You.. You monster, you must have paid and colluded with the staffs right, bastard am going to sue you", Mia shouted totally enraged but the man was just staring at her unmoving,he appeared lost in thought,his expression alternating between happiness and despair.

"What do you mean?,"which staff?", you were the one that entered my room late at night.besides I was drunk and had no clue of what was happening",the man explained with a cold gaze and she was petrified.

Shuffling backwards,she vaguely remembered entering the room, stripping herself and throwing herself on him.

"It was one of the staffs that brought me here,I was feeling dizzy and she volunteered to walk me back to my room,this is all a misunderstanding,I'm already engaged why would I venture into another man's room",Mia explained incoherently.

Gazing at the man,she felt he looked somewhat familiar and yet distant but she couldn't lay her hands on where they've met before.

"It's okay",he replied softly.

"Okay for you but not for me,how do I explain this to my fiancé,this...am done for ", Mia panicked.

"Then I'll keep it a secret ",he said but there was a tinge of sadness in his voice,her statement was like a cold basin of water poured over him,it slapped him with reality.

"Are..,are you sure"Mia stammered.

"Hundred percent,so from now on I haven't even seen this face before ",he nod and assured her calmly.

"Oh,then thank you very much sir ",Mia said and scrambled to her feet's, gathering all her belongings and hurriedly put on her dress and then left the room not noticing the man who looked so forlorn, sitting in the same position, unmoving just like a statue.

"Hahaha, fate is really unfair to me",he laughed maniacally, sweeping everything on the bedside table away and injuring his arms in the process.

"Lucian",a blonde haired guy rushed in from outside panting heavily."the lady outside just now,is that Mia?".

"Yes, Mark",Lucian replied."it is indeed her".

"The heavens are really favoring you, since you two had a night together. Shouldn't you be responsible for her?" Mark exclaimed excitedly, grinning from ears to ears.

"The heavens are not favoring me but toying with me instead" Lucian replied calmly, but his eyes were filled with sadness.

"What do you mean?,what nonsense are you spouting? Tell me exactly what happened, can't..."

"She is already engaged, engaged to Leonard",Lucian replied before Mark could finish his sentence and he walked straight into the bathroom slamming the door shut.

"Holy shit", Mark punched the cushion in disappointment."fate is really, really unfair, perhaps it's all for the good",he shrugged.

After several minutes Lucian emerged from the bathroom decked in a casual leopard print shirt and black pants.

"Let's go downstairs",Lucian said to Mark."grandfather's waiting for us".

"You sure you want to go?", Mark asked arching a brow."won't you feel all riled up if you see her again".

"Meeting her is inevitable,if I avoid it today,I won't be able to get away always", Lucian replied.

"But yo. . "

"I'm fine, yeah I loved her but I was too late,she deserves better,and it's all for the best I can't imagine the two of us fighting over her", Lucian smiled somewhat ruefully.

"Then you're not going to tell her?", Mark asked.

"No", Lucian replied."it's of no use,she'll only feel bad and burdened,she doesn't even recognize me, it's better she doesn't find out,well I've been holding on for over a decade,I guess it's time to let go", Lucian replied thoughtfully.

"And you?", Mark asked.

"Am good as long as you're by my side", Lucian replied."co'mmon let's go".

They started towards the door,then Lucian suddenly stopped.

"Get the footage of yesterday's events, from Mia's speech I guess she was set up by someone", Lucian ordered.

"Sure", Mark noded.

I went to the New York City Clerk's office to handle a simple administrative matter, but the woman behind the glass handed me a nightmare instead. It was a certified marriage license from Clark County, Nevada, filed exactly three months ago. My vision blurred as I read the name in the spouse field: Baxter Noel. I was legally married to the ruthless billionaire whose legal team was currently suing me for intellectual property theft and trying to destroy my career. I remembered the conference in Las Vegas and a drink that tasted far too sweet, followed by a twelve-hour black hole in my memory that I had chalked up to exhaustion. When I sought help at my family's estate, my stepmother and sister didn't offer comfort; they stole my passport, shredded my clothes, and framed me for academic plagiarism to strip away my university fellowship. Even Baxter himself looked me in the eye with cold indifference, claiming he didn't know me and promising to have me arrested for fraud if I ever showed him that document again. Within twenty-four hours, I was homeless, jobless, and being hunted by the most powerful man in the city. I couldn't understand why a man who "eats people for breakfast" would be caught in the same trap as a struggling scientist like me. The confusion turned to pure terror when I looked at the witness signature on the license: Gene Mcclain. My mother, who was supposed to have died in a car crash ten years ago, had signed that paper with a fresh, trembling hand only ninety days ago. "I am holding a grenade, and I have no idea when the pin was pulled." Standing in the biting November wind with nothing but a laptop and a marriage license, I realized I was just a pawn in a much deadlier game. I stopped running and began to fight back, determined to use my unwanted status as the billionaire's wife to uncover the truth about the mother who came back from the dead.

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.

The Convict Heiress: Marrying The Billionaire

Rollins Laman

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."
