MARRIED AS A REPLACEMENT BRIDE Chapter 1 A VALENTINE'S DAY ESCAPE

I attempted to conceal myself from reality, but in the end, I came to terms with it. The bully that was life was a passive-aggressive one. It compelled me to conceal the aspects of myself that the rest of the world did not want to see. In response to those portions, I refused.

After locking them up, I exiled them from the area. Why so?

Today's culture is judgmental.

And I'd cursed my existence a trillion times.

Yet instead of being foul-mouthed in a closet full of skeletons, I read literature.

My goodness!

That was the end? No kiss?

I collapsed on my knees, wept my heart out, and tossed the book across my room.

The narrative wouldn't have ended out this way if my favorite character hadn't been killed.

Bad, bad author!

To aggravate the matter, there was neither a sequel nor a forerunner, to this novel.

It concluded with an unresolved question that tore me apart; Are happily ever after real?

Like pepper was squirted into my eyes, a few drops of tears trickled down my cheeks.

Hmmm, such a terrible situation.

So I was up throughout the night to watch such a tragedy?

Shouts eloped from below.

Sophia, hurry up. Get out of bed.

She was at it again displaying her crazy.

The last time Ella yelled my name from below I slammed my head on the closet and became unconscious.

Everyone in our area detested her strange voice because she was constantly hitting high-pitched like a mad lady.

Guess who recently got a gift for Valentine's Day?!

Of course, she must have received a box from Chris, that's why she couldn't stay without flaunting it in my face.

Give me a minute, I stood on my feet and slid into my pink flip-flops.

I was downstairs as soon as the door to my room bagged behind me.

Get yourself a partner, she screamed and threw many stylish bags on the well-sculptured glass framework that stood in between us. And quit gazing at my desk, nothing is yours.

I licked my lips while striving not to clench my hand.

Just because she was dating didn't give her the right to make me unhappy with my choice not to have a partner.

Keep your viewpoint for yourself, I grinned and slid upon one of our sofas. It's not required.

It was just a matter of seconds until her giggle flooded my little bubble.

She closed the space between us.

Listen to me very attentively, her emerald hazel eyes, a quality we both got from our dad, blazed into mine.

On Valentine's Day, your buddies are getting roses. They are laughing with their lovers and enjoying their youth. If you desire, remain here and wait for your creator to send your lover from heaven. I hope he will not pass you by. You risk dying alone.

Ella's tongue had poison which swooped like lighting on my heart.

I've had enough, you speak much. Let me be. I sprang off of the sofa to hurry upstairs to my room, but she grasped my wrist and tossed me back on the couch. Dang it! What do you want?

She shifted her face away from mine, adjusted her crop top, and posed like a stripper.

I have a date tonight with Chris. If you are interested, I may ask him to plead with one of his pals to handle you for tonight.

Ignoring Ella seemed best these days while waiting for our parents to return home from their favorite romantic vacation and look into the situation.

I don't need help. Get lost!

Ella scooped her luggage from the table, blew a kiss at me, and went upstairs.

Her lovely curled-up, dark brown hair spilled down her back and bounced as she flopped her feet on each step.

I turned my gaze away from her big set of hips.

Why boast about a high school boy?

Aside from partying and casual sex, what else could he offer?

Ella half-walked and half-ran out of the home.

Her tight fabric showed her magnificent assets, however she shook the controversy off and toed her shame out of the house.

I groaned and traveled to my chamber.

Goodness, the spoilt diva was gone.

She has always been a nightmare.

I marched to the restroom and completed my morning ritual.

The restroom was a definite passport to fun; a location I won't miss for anything in the world.

The only location that allowed croaked voices and off-pitch lyrics.

I got out of the bathroom, dried my hair, and hurried to my closet.

I rummaged through my ensembles, landing on a pink floral gown that ended at knee length, and a black leather cloak to pair with panda fur sandals.

The enchantment of Valentine's Day couldn't pass me by.

I would rather spend time in the park than stay at home and be bombarded by Ella's foolishness.

I put on a dazzling lip gloss, nestled my star-shaped earrings, and let my thick brown hair flow to my back.

I was good to leave and nothing could stop me, not even Ella Jones, the adored princess.

THE STREETS WERE COLD and bright following the rain that soaked the town earlier this cold morning.

The month of February arrived with its stakes of snowfall, but this year the flakes didn't come up.

So, no nice snowball guys for couples this year.

I ambled passed a garden and paused to catch a couple making out on the green grounds.

They snuggled, caressed, and grinned at each other like there wasn't tomorrow.

It was hilarious to fall into the clutches of dependency, screwing the fact that; love will leap through the back door eventually.

They were in love, but how long would love last?

Shouldn't it be characterized as dumb to grab onto a stranger? One day this stranger could go, and then that small heart he left behind would break into pieces and flow to ashes.

Boys were all the same, from the high school sweethearts to the college golden-age playboys and most older males, the sugar daddies; all sucked.

Love, the dictator, the woman with unsightly piercings, a lethal monstrosity, the tattooed beast; she wasn't a role model to any aspiring medical practitioner.

Though it made a lot of sense to stay single, I still couldn't keep myself from fantasizing about having a partner.

"I wish I had a boyfriend," my lips curled into a tiny grin, but I was eager to shove such thoughts into the

Back of my skull, down the grimy webs of amnesia, hoping they linger for eternity in the trenches.

Head high up and shoulders squared; my gaze flew onto the street and I admired the glamour of nature.

"Get off my way, are you blind?"

I slipped out of my daze and glanced at the Lady whose scream pulled me out of my thoughts.

My Gosh!

Her charm radiated in one light save for the sneer on her lips.

Her diamond earrings glittered like refined wine, matching the scattered emerald stones on her gorgeous cream-white strapless bridal gown.

Her bridal bun was incredibly lovely and her cosmetics raked off money.

"I'm-I'm sorry..."

I chewed my bottom lip and cast my attention to the floor.

Shit!

Her veil, surrounded by a bouquet of colorful petals, smashed at my feet.

Did she just drop her bouquet?

I blinked a million times at her movements.

In the next second, she sprinted across the street and got into the backseat of a cab, which drove away in no time.

One word, 'splendid,' for this year's Valentine's Day; a woman escaping from her wedding.

It didn't disturb me, so, I took the bouquet and savored its lovely aroma.

It confused my senses with lavender and sandalwood.

I was taken off-guard by a slight pressure on my shoulders. "I realize it's a hard choice for you to be married at a young age. But you have to marry for the well-being of our family."

"I beg your pardon?" I met eyes with a lady in her late forties. "Is this supposed to be a joke?"

Her blue eyes peered intently into mine as she put her palms on my cheeks and massaged my face. "Katerina, you can't ruin this wedding."

"What? Who is Katerina?!"

Emma

I married Clive Harrington, the coldest billionaire in Manhattan, under a strict contract that forbade any emotional burdens. When I needed a high-risk surgery to save my sight, I checked into the clinic alone, hiding the procedure from a husband who saw me as nothing more than a legal asset. I thought I could handle the darkness in silence. But while I was blind and bandaged in my hospital bed, my biological mother called, screaming that if I didn't produce a Harrington heir by the end of the fiscal year, she would cut off the life-saving treatments for my disabled sister. I was crawling on the cold hospital floor, desperately feeling for a cane I had dropped, when I touched a pair of expensive leather shoes. It was Clive. He was supposed to be in London closing a multi-million dollar deal, but there he was, watching his "contract wife" groveling in the dark like a beggar. He didn't walk away in disgust. He carried me to a five-thousand-dollar-a-night VIP suite and sat by my bed, listening in chilling silence as another voicemail from my mother filled the room, calling me a "useless broodmare" who was only worth the trust fund disbursements my marriage secured. I expected him to remind me of Clause 34B or hand me divorce papers now that I was "damaged goods." Instead, I felt his thumb brush a stray tear from my cheek, his presence shifting from a statue of ice into a predatory shield. "I thought I was just currency to you," I whispered, my voice trembling behind the gauze. "Just an investment." Clive didn't answer with words. He picked up his phone and called his head of legal with a single, terrifying command: "Kill the Douglas family’s credit lines. Every debt, every lien—trigger them all. If they want a war, I’ll give them a massacre." As he leaned down to kiss my bandaged forehead, I realized the contract was dead. My husband wasn't protecting an asset anymore; he was hunting the people who had dared to touch what belonged to him.

Sexy Behind The Mask

Sexy Behind The Mask

Ellie Wynters
4.6

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda
4.7

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.

The Mute Bride Is The Secret Mastermind

The Mute Bride Is The Secret Mastermind

Jin Yi

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.
