The Billionaire's Unexpected Love Chapter 1 Shattered

Emily POV

I was nervous as I got ready for dinner with Williams. He had said he had something important to tell me, and I couldn't help but wonder if it was what I was hoping it would be.

We had been together for eight months, and I had started to daydream about the possibility of a future together.

As I put the finishing touches on my outfit, I took a deep breath and tried to calm my nerves. I told myself that I was probably overthinking things, but I couldn't help but hope he would ask me the question I'd been waiting for.

I couldn't deny that I had strong feelings for Williams. Even though we had only been together for eight months, I had fallen head over heels for him.

He was charming, funny, and sweet, and I couldn't imagine being with anyone else. I felt like a teenager with a schoolgirl crush, and the thought of him asking me to spend the rest of my life with him made my heart flutter. I was ready to say yes, no matter what.

I arrived at the restaurant a few minutes late, feeling flustered. I had gotten caught up at the nail salon, where I had my nails done, especially for the occasion.

I was starting to feel silly for getting so worked up over the possibility of a proposal, but I couldn't help myself.

As I walked into the restaurant, I scanned the room for Williams, feeling butterflies in my stomach. When I spotted him, I felt a mix of emotions. I was excited to see him, but also nervous about what might happen next. I took a deep breath and walked towards him.

As I approached the table, I noticed Williams was with someone. It was Sophia, my best friend.

At first, I was hopeful that this meant Williams was about to propose to me. It crossed my mind that perhaps Williams had invited Sophia to be present for the proposal. Maybe he wanted her to be a part of such a special moment in our lives since she was such a close friend to me.

But as I sat down at the table, I noticed something: Williams and Sophia were holding hands.

I felt a wave of shock. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I did not know what to think or how to react.

"We're getting married." Sophia announced, 'With a straight face.

My heart sank, and I felt like I was going to be sick. I turned to Williams, hoping that this was all some kind of horrible joke, but he just nodded in agreement.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My mind was spinning, and I felt like I couldn't breathe. Sophia's words were like a punch to the gut. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

'What do you mean, you're getting married?' I stammered, my voice trembling. 'I thought we were... I thought we were happy.' I looked at Williams, pleading for him to deny what I was hearing, but he just looked at me with a blank expression on his face.

"We've been seeing each other for a while," Sophia continued. "We know this must be difficult for you to hear, but we didn't want to lie to you. We care about you, and we don't want to hurt you. We feel like this is the right time, to be honest. We're in love, and we're getting married."

I looked at Sophia and then at Williams, trying to make sense of what was happening. 'Please tell me this is a joke,' I begged, my voice breaking. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes.

This couldn't be real. This couldn't be happening. But the looks on their faces told me otherwise. I felt like I was going to pass out.

The restaurant had gone quiet, and I could feel all eyes on me.

I was crying and shouting, and I could feel my face turning red with anger and embarrassment.

I could hear people whispering, and I saw a few of them taking out their phones to record the scene.

I was mortified.

I felt like I was about to explode. In a fit of rage, I slapped Sophia.

"You're being ridiculous," Williams snapped, his tone sharp. "This is no way to react. We're trying to be honest with you. You're just making this more difficult than it needs to be.

"Are you okay?" Williams whispered, placing his arm around her protectively. "I'm so sorry that she reacted this way," he mumbled, looking at me with disappointment.

I stood there, frozen in place. I felt like I couldn't couldn't catch my breath. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I felt a wave of emotions wash over me. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I felt like I was trapped in a nightmare and I couldn't wake up.

I didn't regret slapping Sophia. She deserved it. I felt betrayed and hurt by both Sophia and Williams. I couldn't believe that Sophia would betray our friendship like that. And I couldn't believe that Williams would so easily leave me for someone else.

I was angry and devastated, and I couldn't help but wonder if I had done something to drive him away. Had I been a bad girlfriend?

I fled from the restaurant, dashing out the front door and into the cool night air.

I didn't know where I was going, but I knew I had to get away from that place.

As I ran, I could hear Williams calling out, but I didn't turn back. I just kept running until I reached the end of the block.

****************************

I lay in bed, looking at the photos of Williams and Sophia on my phone. They looked so happy, so in love.

I felt like I was disappearing like I didn't exist anymore. I cried until my eyes were swollen and I couldn't cry anymore. All I could do was stare at the pictures, trying to understand how this could have happened.

The memory of Sophia's squealed reaction, when I told her about Williams came flooding back to me.

"OMG girl, I'm so happy for you!" she exclaimed. "He's so handsome, tall, and rich. This time will be different - you guys will end up together!" she had said with a smile.

At the time, her words had made me feel hopeful and excited. But now, they just made me feel foolish and betrayed.

I had been a wife for exactly six hours when I woke up to the sound of my husband’s heavy breathing. In the dim moonlight of our bridal suite, I watched Hardin, the man I had adored for years, intertwined with my sister Carissa on the chaise lounge. The betrayal didn't come with an apology. Hardin stood up, unashamed, and sneered at me. "You're awake? Get out, you frumpy mute." Carissa huddled under a throw, her fake tears already welling up as she played the victim. They didn't just want me gone; they wanted me erased to protect their reputations. When I refused to move, my world collapsed. My father didn't offer a shoulder to cry on; he threatened to have me committed to a mental asylum to save his business merger. "You're a disgrace," he bellowed, while the guards stood ready to drag me away. They had spent my life treating me like a stuttering, submissive pawn, and now they were done with me. I felt a blinding pain in my skull, a fracture that should have broken me. But instead of tears, something dormant and lethal flickered to life. The terrified girl who walked down the aisle earlier that day simply ceased to exist. In her place, a clinical system—the Valkyrie Protocol—booted up. My racing heart plummeted to a steady sixty beats per minute. I didn't scream. I stood up, my spine straightening for the first time in twenty years, and looked at Hardin with the detachment of a surgeon looking at a tumor. "Correction," I said, my voice stripped of its stutter. "You're in my light." By dawn, I had drained my father's accounts, vanished into a storm, and found a bleeding Crown Prince in a hidden safehouse. They thought they had broken a mute girl. They didn't realize they had just activated their own destruction.

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

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."
