Chapter 1 Married to a stranger

Chapter 1: The Man at the Altar Wasn't Him

I stared at the man in a black tuxedo standing confidently at the altar. But something was wrong. That wasn't Daniel-my fiancé.

My heart thudded loudly in my chest as I looked back at my father. He gave me a stiff nod, pushing me forward.

"Go," he mouthed.

The priest smiled. "Shall we begin?"

I took slow steps down the aisle, confusion turning into fear. Where was Daniel?

The man ahead had a sharp jawline, eyes like cold steel, and a face I'd never seen before. He looked... annoyed. Almost angry.

When I finally stood beside him, I whispered, "Who are you?"

He didn't look at me. He just replied, "Your husband."

Chapter 2: The Price of a Debt

The ceremony ended in a blur.

No vows. No kiss. Just papers signed, photos taken, and polite claps from strangers I didn't recognize.

Back in the limo, I finally turned to him.

"Where is Daniel?" I asked, my voice shaking.

He adjusted his cufflinks, calm like this was just another business deal. "He ran away last night."

"What?"

"Didn't even leave a note. Just vanished."

I stared at him in disbelief. "So you just... replaced him?"

He finally met my eyes. "Your father needed this marriage to happen. I made sure it did."

I didn't understand. "Why would you do that?"

He smirked. "Because your father owes me twelve million dollars. And you... are the payment."

Chapter 3: The Contract Bride

My hands were shaking.

"I'm not a piece of property," I whispered.

He leaned closer, voice cold. "Then you shouldn't let your father treat you like one."

I felt heat rise to my face-not from embarrassment, but rage.

"What's your name?" I asked sharply.

"Adrian Black."

And suddenly it clicked. Adrian Black-the billionaire investor. Ruthless. Untouchable. Dangerous.

"I want out," I said.

He tilted his head. "Then pay me twelve million dollars."

Silence. He knew I couldn't.

Adrian turned to the window. "Until then, Mrs. Black, you belong to me."

Chapter 4: A Stranger's Mansion

The mansion was cold-like its owner.

Marble floors. Gold chandeliers. Walls lined with abstract art that meant nothing to me.

"I'll show you your room," a maid said quietly.

"My room?"

"You'll sleep across the hall," Adrian said as he walked past. "This isn't a love story."

I flinched at his words.

Once inside, I locked the door and let the tears fall. This wasn't a honeymoon. It was a prison-with velvet walls and luxury sheets.

And I had no idea how to escape.

Chapter 5: Secrets in the Study

The next morning, I wandered the house-trying to make sense of my new world.

I passed by Adrian's study and heard voices inside.

"...she doesn't know anything," someone said.

"Keep it that way," Adrian replied. "If she finds out about the deal with her brother-"

I froze.

My brother? What did he have to do with this?

The door creaked slightly, and silence fell.

I quickly tiptoed back down the hall, heart pounding.

This marriage wasn't just about a debt. There were secrets hidden in this mansion- And I was going to find them.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
