Arranged Bride, Unexpected Love Chapter 1 Astra POV

Astra looked at herself in the mirror, she was getting married today it felt like a dream that she wanted to wake up from.

This decision was one of the hardest decisions she has made in her life.

She was going to marry her family's enemy who she despised so much that it was a neutral feeling for both parties.

It felt like she was no longer in control of anything happening to her.

And now she looked in the mirror and found a young girl dressed in a wedding gown.

She looked beautiful. The dress was stunning yet her heart felt like it was bleeding.

Her life felt like it was going to be over yet her gaze looked determined and strong.

She remembered sitting beside her grandfather, mopping his face with a towel because he was running temperature, she remembered holding his weak hands and her heart broke into a million pieces.

Then he opened his eyes and made her swear she was going to do what he asked of her if she loved him.

She swore to marry Knight that afternoon and no matter what happened she was going to show her grandad that she loved him so much and was going to grant his last wish.

Even though this wasn't what she wanted, she was not prepared for a life like this.

She knew this decision was going to hunt her for the rest of her life but she had to do it because this was her grandfather's wish on his deathbed.

And he was the only family she had since she lost her parents.

She knew she couldn't fail her grandfather so yes she was going to marry Knight Gate no matter how mean he would be or how unhappy the marriage would be.

She looked at herself in the mirror, her dark hair was combed and parked with fancy pins, and her brown eyes stared back at her looking tired.

The heels she wore made her look much taller than her normal height.

She was going to get married to Knight no matter what. And today was the day.

She didn't know why her grandfather did this, this family was their enemy for over two generations, and now she was getting married to their son knight the more she thought about it the more it felt strange.

She sat down on the bed and cried, she cried because everything felt unfair. She cried for her parents that she lost, she cried for her grandfather and she cried for herself because this was the worst day of her life.

Her makeup was ruined so she wiped it and applied light makeup.

Her eyes were red and teary but she didn't care about it.

All she cared about was what she was going to do, and yes she was determined to do it.

"Astra, someone called, it's time, your uncle is waiting for you so he can walk you down the aisle", she said.

"OK, I will be out in a minute", Astra replied, breathing in.

****

Astra looked at the ring on her hand, she was married to someone she didn't even know.

The ring was stunning that she could say, it felt like it was mocking her, the ring was shining and she was looking so dull.

She knew this was a disaster but it had already happened.

She took off her wedding gown, the pins in her hair, and cleaned her makeup, since she was married she had to prepare for her wedding night.

She put the wedding gown in a box, even if she was sad she was not going to destroy this beautiful gown.

It was one of the most expensive and beautiful clothes she ever owned.

And she always had a dream of showing her children and grandchildren her wedding gown since she was young.

Though It was painful to give her virginity to a cruel and stupid man, she knew she didn't love him but she didn't have a choice, she had already done it, and the deed was done.

She entered the bathroom and scrubbed her body like she was trying to scrub away the pain of what she had.

Astra got out of the bathroom and wore simple night clothes then sat on the bed waiting for her husband Knight.

Knight entered the room smiling upon sighting her his gaze turned hard.

"Who told you we were going to share the same room?" he asked.

"Well I thought since we were married we should share the same room, I would go to my apartment tomorrow and get the rest of my things", Astra replied, looking him straight in the eye.

"Well you are stupid for thinking like that, I would never share my room with you, not to talk of my bed.

But because today is our wedding night and I have something to show you, I will allow your presence", Knight said glaring at Astra.

He took off his shirt, and trousers before entering the bathroom to bathe.

Astra sat on the bed waiting nervously, her hands were sweating, and she bit down on her lips many times.

What if he was not gentle with me, she thought this was her first time and she always wanted it to be magical.

She knew that the moment she married Knight all her fantasies about a married life ended but she still wanted her wedding night to be memorable.

Knight came out of the bathroom, water dripping from his body, his towel sat loosely on the lower part of his waist.

He felt her give it to him and looked up at her, raising one brow.

Astra gulped in and looked away from him, he was handsome she thought with his dark hair, and blue eyes that were always looking cold and slightly tanned body.

He wore shorts and a shirt, sat on the bed, and stared at her.

"I am going to show you something," he said, his voice sounding cold.

Our family has been enemies since my grandfather's time. I don't know why you agreed to marry me or why my dad said I should.

But I don't like you, I never even knew you, and from the looks of things I am not looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you.

He brought a paper and gave it to Astra, "this is our contract he said, I don't know how we ended up getting married but I don't want this marriage, neither do you so I decided to help both of us.

So this contract says you will do anything I say and outside of this house, we are nothing but strangers.

I can't be more than a stranger to someone like you.

"What does that mean?"Astra asked, glaring at him.

"Well since I said it once and you didn't understand I don't think you can comprehend", Knight said glaring at Astra.

And also after three years, we are going to get divorced", he continued.

"So this is more like a contract marriage, than a real one," Astra said.

"Well obviously since that's what I said," he replied.

"So you are giving me permission to go out with other men?", I asked

"Do I look like I care if you fuck around, you were already doing it before our marriage so u are sure it will be hard to stop," he said.

"I will appreciate it if you mind the way you talk to me", Astra said glaring at him.

"Or what Astra, what can you do?", let me answer that for you, you can't do anything", he said.

"Now I would like to leave the room because, in the face of things, your presence is suffocating," he said and left the room.

Astra just sat on the bed looking at the papers so she would be free from this cage after three years she thought.

She sat up thinking Knight was going to come back and talk about the wedding night but he didn't so she decided to go down and check for him.

On getting to the door she heard moaning sounds from the other room confused and wanting an explanation she decided to check.

On opening the door she saw Knight on another woman having sex on their wedding night.

"Knight", she screamed.

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
