: Valerie Brown, Jonathan Holt

Married To An Unconscious Stranger: Loving the Man I Never Knew Chapter 1 Catching The Adultery

"Let me go! Who are you?" Valerie Brown's voice trembled, her struggles frantic but ineffective.

"Stay still."

The command was low and unrelenting, like gravel sliding down steel. One of the man's hands pinned her wrists to the headboard with effortless strength.

Valerie gasped as fabric gave way with a sharp, ripping sound, the air thick with the sudden violence of it. His touch burned like an ember against her skin-uninvited, scorching, and relentless. She fought, her movements wild and desperate, but his hold was unyielding.

"No... please..." Her voice cracked, small and broken. "I don't even know you..."

The silence answered her-thick and heavy-broken only by his breath, slow and deliberate.

......

A sharp knock on the door shattered Valerie's train of thoughts.

"Miss Brown, the car from the Holt family will arrive shortly. Please get ready to come downstairs."

Valerie nodded faintly, masking the fire of anger behind her cool, indifferent gaze.

It had been a month-a month since that night, when her life had spun out of control. She had lost her virginity to a stranger and, as if fate hadn't punished her enough, she was now being forced to marry Jonathan Holt-a man confined to a bed, comatose and unknowing, all because of a car crash. It was originally a marriage meant for her stepsister-until their father decided Valerie would do just fine.

She'd fought. She'd refused. But her father had anticipated her every move. Holding her ailing mother hostage, he left Valerie no choice but to surrender to his twisted demands.

For a whole month, Valerie had searched relentlessly. Every contact, every whisper of a lead, every phone call had turned into a dead end. Her mother remained out of reach.

In the end, she had no choice but to give in.

Valerie smoothed down the plain white wedding dress, and pulled out her phone to send a text.

"Javier, how is everything going?"

She clenched the device, waiting-hoping-for the screen to light up with a reply.

Javier Barnett was her boyfriend, the one person who hadn't turned his back on her after everything.

Despite knowing about her broken innocence, he had stayed, promising to help her find her mother and take her away from this nightmare.

But the screen stayed dark. Minutes stretched like hours, and still, no reply came.

A flicker of unease twisted in her gut. Unable to stand still, Valerie pushed herself out of the room. The silence of the house pressed in as she made her way downstairs. Passing by a lounge, she froze.

Laughter-her stepsister Lacey Brown's laughter-drifted through the slightly ajar door, sharp as a knife's edge. Then came a voice that made Valerie's blood run cold.

"Thank you, Javier. If it weren't for you sweet-talking her and tipping us off about her plans, she would have found her mother by now. It's time for your reward..."

Valerie stiffened. Her heart hammered painfully in her chest. Javier and Lacey?

Step by step, Valerie edged closer to the door, unable to stop herself. Peering through the gap, her world shattered.

Inside, Javier sat too close to Lacey, his hand brushing her arm, his expression smug and satisfied.

"You little slut," he teased, a cruel grin on his face. "Aren't you afraid Valerie will figure it all out? What if she finds out about us and refuses to go through with the marriage?"

Lacey's laugh rang out, cold and triumphant. "She wouldn't dare. Her mother is still in Dad's clutches, and she knows it." Lacey leaned closer, a smirk tugging at her lips. "Besides, if she ever found out that it was you who drugged her that night and set her up... well, she'd probably lose her mind."

......

The world collapsed around Valerie. Her ears buzzed, a static hum drowning out everything but the sharp ache in her chest.

Her body shook, trembling beyond her control.

She gripped the hem of her wedding dress, her knuckles turning white as she tried to anchor herself-to choke down the rage and heartbreak surging inside her.

This was why her search for her mother had gone nowhere. Javier. Her Javier. The man she thought loved her-truly loved her-had been lying all along.

He hadn't just betrayed her trust; he had betrayed her soul.

Worse, her loss of innocence hadn't been an accident. It was a piece of their twisted game, a cruel trap she had walked into blind.

The sounds coming from the room-Lacey's lustful moaning and Javier's grunting-coiled in Valerie's ears like poison. A wave of nausea rose in her throat, but Valerie swallowed it back, her pain sharpening into something else.

With shaking hands, she wiped away her tears and pulled out her phone. She couldn't let this go. Not now. Not ever.

Peering through the gap once more, she hit "record", capturing every cruel detail. She then uploaded the video to the Brown Group's company group chat from an anonymous account. A single click.

She glanced back at the two inside, her gaze as cold as steel.

"Javier, Lacey," Valerie whispered under her breath, her voice a razor's edge. "This is only the beginning. Once I find my mother, I will make you pay for every lie, every scheme, every piece of me you have shattered."

She turned on her heel, her movements calm but deliberate, and descended the stairs. Without a backward glance, she slipped into the waiting car that would take her to the Holt family's estate.

Meanwhile, phones buzzed, screens flashed, and shocked gasps filled the halls of the Brown Group offices. The video Valerie had uploaded blazed through the company's group chat like wildfire, leaving scandal and uproar in its wake.

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.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
