Cheated on by her husband. Betrayed by her sister. Stabbed in the back by her best friend. Alexis's world crashes down in a single heartbreaking week. With nowhere to turn, she makes a devil's bargain-a six-month marriage contract with her impossibly handsome, stone-cold boss, Nathan Cole. What she doesn't know? Nathan has secretly wanted her for years. As Alexis plots her revenge, something unexpected happens. The ice between them melts, revealing a burning passion neither expected. But just as she begins to trust again, the secrets start piling up: A pregnancy she never planned. Her sister's suspicious suicide. The shocking truth behind her parents' murder. And then there's Mira-Nathan's possessive friend who's determined to tear them apart at any cost. When their fragile relationship shatters and Nathan walks away, Alexis is left with a choice: surrender to the darkness or fight for the love that might just save them both. Some wounds cut too deep to heal... or do they?

From Betrayed Wife, to CEOs Contract Bride Chapter 1 Blood Betrayal

ALEXIS

"Be my pretend partner for six months, divorce your husband, and I'll compensate you generously."

Nathan Cole's words echoed through my mind like thunder as I gripped the leather steering wheel of my Toyota Corolla, my knuckles turning white. The morning sun glinted off the dashboard, momentarily blinding me – much like his outrageous proposal had done to my sensibilities.

"How disgusting!" I spat, my voice bouncing off the leather interior of my car as I pressed harder on the accelerator. The purr of the engine did nothing to calm my racing thoughts.

The absolute audacity of that man. Nathan Cole, billionaire CEO of Cole Industries, my boss of three years, had just propositioned me as if I were some commodity to be bought and sold. The worst part? He'd done it with that infuriatingly composed expression of his, those steel-gray eyes watching me as if he already knew my answer. As if my marriage meant nothing.

The same marriage I'd been forced into.

I caught my reflection in the rearview mirror – Alexis Pierce, twenty-seven, perfectly coiffed brown hair, designer suit, and eyes that held more secrets than I cared to admit. Including one that not even my husband knew about yet: the tiny life growing inside me.

My hand instinctively moved to my still-flat stomach. "What would the world say?" I whispered to myself, easing off the accelerator as I approached a red light. "That I'm just another gold-digger? That I divorced my husband for a better offer?" The thought made me sick.

But Nathan's offer tugged at something deep inside me. Was it desperation? Curiosity? Or perhaps it was the way he'd looked at me when he made the proposal – not with lust or greed, but with something else entirely. Something that reminded me of how he used to look at me before my marriage to Logan, when I was just his secretary with dreams bigger than my paycheck.

"He could have spoken up then," I muttered, accelerating as the light turned green. "Before my parents..." My throat tightened at the thought of them. Gone now, but their final act had been to ensure my marriage to Logan Pierce. "May their souls rest in peace," I whispered, even as bitterness coated my tongue.

A horn blared, shocking me back to reality. I'd drifted into the wrong lane, lost in my thoughts.

"Oh my goodness!" I jerked the wheel, heart pounding as I swerved back into my lane. "Focus, Alexis. Focus!"

The rest of the drive home was a blur of self-recrimination. How could I have forgotten such an important document? What was wrong with me today? First Nathan's proposal, now this near-accident – the universe seemed determined to throw me off balance.

I pulled up to my house – a modern mansion in the city's most exclusive neighborhood, all glass and steel and hollow luxury. The security guard bowed slightly as he opened the gates. "Welcome home, ma'am."

I barely acknowledged him, my mind already racing ahead to the documents I needed. But something felt off as I entered the house. Logan's Italian wool coat hung carelessly over our imported leather sofa, his signature cologne lingering in the air like an accusation.

My steps faltered. He was supposed to be on a business trip – I'd dropped him at the airport myself last night, watching as he'd boarded his private jet wearing that exact suit.

"Let me just grab what I need and go," I muttered, heading for the stairs. "I'm already running late."

As I approached our bedroom – our matrimonial bedroom, as Logan liked to call it – I heard it. The sound was unmistakable, but my brain refused to process it.

"Ah fck! You're fcking tight." Logan's voice, rough with pleasure.

"Easy daddy. It's my first time, I haven't..." A familiar female voice, cut off by Logan's shushing.

My blood turned to ice in my veins. That voice – it couldn't be. Not her. Not Abigail.

My feet carried me downstairs to my sister's room, even as my mind screamed at me to run, to pretend I'd heard nothing. The empty room confirmed my worst fears.

I climbed back upstairs, each step feeling like I was walking to my own execution. My hand trembled as I pushed open the bedroom door.

The scene before me burned itself into my retinas like acid: My husband and my sister, tangled in our marriage bed, their naked bodies illuminated by the morning sun streaming through our floor-to-ceiling windows. The same windows I'd spent hours choosing, imagining peaceful mornings watching the sunrise with my husband.

"She's my sister for crying out loud!" The words tore from my throat, hot tears streaming down my face. The betrayal was a physical pain in my chest, squeezing my lungs until I could barely breathe.

They froze like guilty statues. Abigail grabbed at the Egyptian cotton sheets – sheets I'd picked out during our honeymoon in Milan – to cover herself, her face a mask of terror. Logan sat there, head in his hands, not even trying to explain.

With trembling hands, I walked to my walk-in closet, methodically stripping off my corporate suit. I chose a black jumpsuit – funeral appropriate, I thought with bitter humor – and matched it with my highest Louboutins. The hat and dark sunglasses completed my armor.

I retrieved the documents from my desk, my movements mechanical, divorced from the chaos in my mind.

"I'm sorry babe, it's... not... what... you think," Logan stammered, reaching for my hand. His touch felt like a brand on my skin.

I lowered my sunglasses slightly, letting him see the death of every feeling I'd ever had for him in my eyes. "You two can continue with your sin," I said, my voice arctic. "I've got work to do. And don't worry – we'll settle this once and for all when I return. Enjoy!"

The drive back to the office passed in a blur of tears and rage, my mind already formulating plans. By the time I walked into Nathan's office, my decision was made.

"Sir... I've reconsidered, and I'm ready to take your proposal."

Nathan's response was immediate, as if he'd been waiting for this moment. He slid an envelope across his mahogany desk, his signature already bold across the bottom. "Go through them and sign."

I signed without reading, my hand steady now, my purpose clear. When he commented on how beautiful I looked in my hat, I managed a smile that didn't reach my eyes behind my sunglasses.

Back in my office, I called Ava, my lawyer and confidante. Her cheerful "Hello there, Mrs. Pierce" felt like another twist of the knife.

"Spell me that Alexis," I corrected her, my voice hollow.

"Are you not Mrs. Pierce?"

"Let that slide for now," I said, then got straight to the point. "I want a divorce agreement drafted and on my desk by 5 PM sharp. Every last one of Logan Pierce's assets – every property, every share, every last penny – transferred to his unborn child." My hand rested protectively over my stomach. "Make it ironclad, Ava. I want him left with nothing but the clothes on his back and the shame on his face."

"What happened?" Her concern was evident. "Did you have a misunderstanding?"

I laughed, the sound brittle as glass. "Someone told me they caught Logan cheating," I lied, the truth too raw to share even with her.

"Are you sure divorce is the solution?"

"Oh, I'm more than sure." My smile was all teeth. "I want to make sure Logan has nothing left to give his... new friend."

Ava's hesitation was palpable. "Come to my office tomorrow at 3 PM. We should discuss this properly."

"Fine," I agreed, though my mind was made up. Nothing would change my course now.

"Don't overthink it, please. And be safe!" She hung up before I could respond.

I sat back in my chair, one hand still on my stomach, the other clutching Nathan's contract. The morning sun caught the diamond on my wedding ring, throwing rainbow patterns on the wall. Soon, that ring would join the rest of my illusions in the trash.

Let Logan keep Abigail. I would take everything else.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.
