BOUND BY THE BILLIONAIRE LAWYER. Chapter 1 Lost And Free.

The blood came first.

Sophie Myers stood frozen, her hands trembling as she stared down at the deep crimson pooling around her feet. The silk of her pale dress clung to her thighs, stained and ruined. She blinked, trying to focus, but the sounds of the party around her, the laughter, the music, and the clinking of champagne glasses-were all drowned out by the thundering of her heart.

No.

Her stomach twisted violently, a sharp pain shooting through her body. She sucked in a breath, barely able to stand. Her fingers curled tightly around the edge of the marble table beside her, nails scraping against the surface.

"Edward." Her voice was small, breaking under the weight of her panic. She found him a few steps away, his back to her, perfectly poised with his colleagues. "Edward, please..."

Her husband turned slowly, a glass of whiskey balanced between his fingers. His expression hardened the moment his gaze met hers, a flicker of irritation at the interruption, as though she were a child tugging at his sleeve.

"What is it, Sophie?" he asked. His voice was low, flat, laced with impatience.

"I'm bleeding," she whispered, her words trembling on her lips. "Something's wrong."

Edward's brows furrowed, his lips pressing into a thin line as he regarded her for a moment. Then he sighed. A heavy, exasperated sound. "Go to the bathroom. Fix yourself up."

Her knees buckled. She reached for him, desperate for support, but he stepped back. "Edward-"

"For God's sake, Sophie, not here."

It happened all at once.

The sharp, searing pain surged through her abdomen, forcing the air from her lungs. The edges of her vision darkened as her body crumbled, the floor rushing up to meet her. The last thing she saw before everything went black was Edward's polished shoes stepping out of her way.

***

The first thing Sophie noticed when she woke was the cold.

The sterile smell of antiseptic burned her nose, and her body felt unnaturally heavy, pinned to the thin hospital bed. Her head throbbed. She tried to lift her arms, but they felt like lead.

"Mrs. Flynn?"

A nurse hovered beside her, adjusting the IV drip. Her expression was gentle, but her eyes were full of pity. Sophie opened her mouth to speak, but her voice came out hoarse.

"What..." Her throat burned. "What happened?"

The nurse hesitated. "You've had a miscarriage, ma'am."

Miscarriage.

The word cut through Sophie like a blade, it was sharp and merciless. Her hand instinctively touched her stomach, fingers pressing against the flatness beneath the hospital gown.

Gone.

She closed her eyes as tears burned behind her lids. It was all too much, the pain, the emptiness, the silence pressing down on her.

"You're awake."

The voice was cold and indifferent. Sophie's eyes fluttered open. Edward stood at the foot of the bed, dressed impeccably in his tailored suit. He looked out of place in the harsh hospital light, too perfect, too composed.

Her lips parted, but no words came.

Edward's gaze flickered to the nurse. "Leave us."

The woman gave Sophie one last glance before slipping out of the room, the door clicking shut behind her. The silence stretched between them, thick and suffocating.

"You didn't have to come," Sophie managed, her voice sounding weak.

Edward raised an eyebrow, the faintest trace of amusement in his expression. "Don't flatter yourself, Sophie. I needed to see you awake."

She frowned, confusion clouding her features. "Why?"

Edward didn't answer right away. Instead, he reached into his coat and pulled out a file. He placed it on the small tray table beside her bed with a dull thud.

"What is that?"

"Divorce papers," Edward said.

The words hung in the air like smoke, choking her. Sophie stared at the folder, unable to comprehend what she was seeing.

"Divorce?" Her voice trembled. "Edward, you can't be serious. Not... not now."

Edward's expression didn't change. If anything, his gaze grew colder. "I've been serious for a while, Sophie. I wanted this before the party, but I waited. Now there's no reason to delay."

"No reason?" Her voice cracked, tears pooling in her eyes. "I just lost our child, Edward."

"And I'm sorry for that," he replied, though his tone said otherwise. "But this has nothing to do with it. It's over, Sophie. It's been over for a long time."

Sophie stared at him, searching his face for something, regret, sadness, anything. But Edward Flynn was a man carved from stone. The husband she once loved, the man who had once whispered promises into her ear, was nowhere to be found.

"Why now?" she whispered.

Edward sighed, glancing at his watch. "I'm not here to argue. Just sign the papers, Sophie."

He pushed the file closer to her, the pen resting neatly on top.

Sophie's hands shook as she reached for it, her body still weak from everything she'd lost. The pain in her chest was unbearable, but not a single tear fell. She wouldn't cry in front of him. Not now.

Edward watched her, clearly expecting resistance. He was ready for a fight, ready for her to beg, to plead. But she didn't.

Sophie picked up the pen, steadying her grip.

"What happens to me after this?" she asked softly, not looking at him.

Edward's voice was cold. "That's not my concern and you will get alimony ."

Her heart splintered, but her face remained blank. Without another word, she pressed the pen to the paper and signed her name, once, then again.

The scratching of the pen against the paper was the only sound in the room. When she finished, she set the pen down and pushed the file back toward him.

Edward blinked, clearly surprised. He hadn't expected her to let go so easily.

"It's done," she said quietly, her voice was empty.

He stared at her for a moment, something unreadable flashing in his eyes. For the briefest of seconds, Sophie thought she saw regret. But it was gone just as quickly.

Edward picked up the file, tucking it neatly under his arm. "I'll have someone collect the rest of your things from the house."

He turned and walked toward the door, his polished shoes clicking against the hospital floor. At the threshold, he paused, looking back at her.

"Take care of yourself, Sophie."

The door clicked shut behind him, leaving Sophie alone in the cold, sterile room.

She lay back against the pillows, staring at the ceiling as silence filled the space around her.

She wasn't Edward Flynn's wife anymore.

Sophie Myers, the woman who once wore his name was now just another divorcee.

The tears came quietly, trailing down her cheeks, but she didn't sob. She let them fall until there was nothing left.

And when the tears dried, something else settled deep inside her chest, something cold and unbreakable.

It was over.

But Sophie wasn't.

The Billionaire's Blind Bride: No Mercy

Emma
4.0

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
4.7

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."

Discarded Wife: The Secret Billionaire Heiress

Hui Hui
5.0

I spent three years playing the role of a submissive, small-town wife for Evertt Baker, trading my true identity for a quiet life in a Manhattan penthouse. I thought my devotion would be enough to build a real home, but I was just a placeholder in his grand design. The illusion shattered at 2 AM when Evertt walked in smelling of Chanel No. 5—the signature scent of his mistress, Adda. Without a word of apology, he dropped divorce papers on the table, demanding I sign them immediately so he could finally be with the woman he truly loved. He looked at me with pure disgust, flicking a five-million-dollar check toward me as if he were paying off an incompetent employee. He told me it was more money than anyone from my "trailer park" background would ever see and ordered me to hurry because Adda was waiting in the car downstairs. He didn't care that I had spent years nursing him through illness and tolerating his family’s insults; he only cared about his own convenience. The sheer arrogance of his payout and the blatant disrespect of bringing his mistress to our home was the final blow. I realized that the man I loved never actually saw me, only the submissive shadow I had forced myself to become. I signed the papers with a fluid scrawl he didn't bother to check, then I fed his millions into the office shredder. I pulled a hidden, encrypted device from a kitchen drawer and dialed a number I hadn't called in three years. "Brother," I said, my voice finally steady. "Come get me. The game is over." Evertt thought he was discarding a penniless nobody, but he was about to find out that he had just declared war on the Stafford empire.
