Introduction

My lungs were failing, but my music was finally taking flight.

I was a dying folk singer, determined to record my father's unfinished songs – a legacy.

A grant from the prestigious Astor Family Arts Foundation felt like a miracle, a chance to complete my final masterpiece.

Then, the "miracle" became a nightmare.

The foundation was run by Ethan's family-my ex-fiancé's.

And then *she* crashed into my world: Bella Thorne, America's sweetheart pop star, Ethan's new, very public girlfriend, announced she'd "collaborate."

It wasn't collaboration; it was a hostile takeover.

Bella and her producers butchered my raw sound, demanding synths and demanding co-writing credits on my father's decades-old lyrics.

They wanted to make it "pop," to erase me.

Bella's cruel jabs became relentless, each comment a tiny cut.

My health, already fractured, spiraled with the stress-coughing fits, nosebleeds I desperately tried to hide.

Ethan, the man I once loved, stood by, a silent, unreadable observer, always by *her* side.

He watched my spirit being systematically dismantled.

Then, in a moment of manufactured fury, Bella "accidentally" slammed my father's vintage guitar to the floor, splitting it in two.

The guitar wasn't just wood; it was my soul, my last connection to him.

Bella then posted a tearful video, portraying herself as heartbroken, casting *me* as the volatile drama queen.

The internet, fueled by carefully leaked old photos of Ethan and me, branded me a gold-digging manipulator, faking my illness for attention.

Even Ethan, seeing Bella's performance, was convinced.

He texted, offering to "replace" my irreplaceable guitar, further proving he never truly understood.

I was dying, fighting for my art, and the world thought I was faking.

How could he be so blind?

With trembling fingers, I deleted Ethan's contact.

My legacy, my final gift, was being ripped apart, but I wouldn't let them silence the truth in my music.

I had to protect it, even if it cost me everything.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan
4.9

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.
