The Billionaire's Contractual Bride: Hate to Love. Chapter 1 The Breaking Point

ARIELLE POV

Happiness in the life of anyone will be empty.

As Arielle stared at her phone, all she kept thinking about is where it had gone wrong.

A call came from the police earlier and they informed her about Adrian her brother in their custody.

This news is coming hours after she was fired from her work place for alleged misappropriation of company money.

Arielle felt like everything is crumbling and there is nothing she could do about it.

The repetitive beeping sound of the monitor and the sudden opening of a door brings her back to reality and away from her thoughts.

"You are still here?" The doctor asked in disbelief.

"I need to be sure that grandma is okay" She replied, stepping away from the bed.

The doctor proceeds to the bedside, taking his time while examining Arielle's grandma and she watched him with intent.

"How is she feeling doctor?"

"Her condition is stable for now" He revealed, pulling off a note from his pocket and scribbling down a couple of information.

Arielle studied her grandma's condition for a brief moment.

Her breathing had become stable and it brought a spark of hope to Arielle, knowing she is going to get better.

"Miss Arielle. I think you should go home and freshen up. You have been here for several hours now" Doctor Miles said with a look of concern on his face.

"But I want to be by her side, to be sure that she will be fine." She argued.

"Your grandma will be fine. I am not satisfied seeing you look this way" He insists and gave a sympathetic smile.

After much thought, Arielle agreed with doctor Miles and leave the ward and subsequently the hospital.

The sun is out and very hot. It almost felt like the rain had not poured in years, when in reality it fell last night.

As Arielle walk through the lonely road alone, she felt empty. All shekeep thinking about is how she is going to get Adrian out of the prison.

Approaching the muddy part of the streets, she heard the sound of a car approaching and Arielle stepped aside. As the car moved past her, it splashed so much mud on her face.

"What the hell!" She screamed, staring down at her tainted muddy shirt. "You are such a stupid and reckless driver!" She yelled out in anger.

The car held the breaks and made a U-turn approaching her direction.

Arielle take a step backwards as the car parked properly. The door opened and a man dressed up in a black Armani suit stepped out of the car.

"Are you blind?" She asked and he remained calm, leaning his body by his car. This got her really furious.

"You are such a stupid man and I can see you have no respect for road users..."

The mere fact that he did not respond but remained stoic got Arielle's core stomach boiling with rage.

"Or maybe you are deaf.." She suggested.

The man pulled out his dark shade and a beautiful pair of bright blue eyes met hers. He held no emotion on his face as he gazed at Arielle.

Suddenly, he turned around and reached inside of his car. He pulled out a brown envelope and dropped it in front of Arielle, taking her off guard.

"That should cover for your dress. Maybe next time you will learn to leave the road when you hear a car approaching"

Something inside of Arielle snapped and without thinking, her hand connects his chin the impact forcing him to latch unto his cheeks, as he stared at Arielle in disbelief.

"You are such an arrogant fool! I can see you are one of these spoilt rich brats!" She did not held her tongue back despite knowing the action was wrong.

She kicked the brown envelope into the mud and walked out of him.

As she walks away Logan Lutherfold stared at her, the shock of the slap still lingering.

No one has ever talked back at him. Neither has anyone dared laid a finger on his face.

As Arielle moved farther distance, Logan vowed to make sure she pays for laying her hands on him.

When Arielle arrived at her apartment, she cast her thoughts back to the incident that happened along the road. She smiled inwardly thinking the man deserved what was coming to him.

Her phone begins to ring and Arielle discovers the number had no name tag to it.

"Miss Areille?" A warm feminine voice came through the receiver.

"Yes?" Arielle replied with curiosity.

"My name is Jessica, I am a member of the Home and Welfare department of state." She introduced.

"Okay?"

"We receive information that your house rent has been long over due and we will like to inform you that members of our department will be coming over to get your things out"

The news came as shock to Arielle. She got up from the couch and moved to the window. She pulled the curtains and several cars arrived at the premises.

"Please can I at least be given a few time to talk this out with your boss?" She pleaded.

"I am sorry ma, we got specific orders to get your load out of the house. The property has been bought by someone else."

"By who?" Arielle asked, but their conversation is interrupted with a loud bang at the door.

"I am guessing my team has arrived. Have a good day ma'am"

"No wait!"

Arielle tried to say something, but the caller had cut the phone off.

She cursed underneath her voice and proceeds to get the door open.

The men by the door said no words. They pushed her aside and walk into the room pulling off several of her property.

"No...Wait. This is not fair...Careful with the frame!" She yelled.

"Sign here Miss Arielle"

She turned around and a petite looking woman mentioned, pointing to a space in her book with a pen in her hand.

"Please. You cannot do this to me. There is so much going on in my life, you cannot render me homeless" Arielle struggled to hold back the tears in her eyes.

"I am sorry ma'am. There is nothing we can do about it." She replied.

Arielle sighed and grabbed the pen, noting down her signature. She looked up to see half of her property already out of the house.

"Just trying to be kind, your house was bought by Logan Lutherfold. He is a rich man and I think you can track him down and speak with him" She said.

A spark of hope filled Arielle. If she can somehow convince him, she will be able to gain her house back.

Reilly Mcardle

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

The Discarded Heiress: Marrying My Lethal Husband

The Discarded Heiress: Marrying My Lethal Husband

Xiao Wang

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."
