My peaceful night shattered when an alert flashed: my critical project's source code, leaked to a competitor, authorized with my credentials. Before I could process the impossibility, my doorbell rang, revealing my boyfriend Matthew and best friend Molly, Molly' s face streaked with tears. "Jennifer, how could you do this?" Matthew's voice, cold and accusatory, cut me deeper than any system alert as he scanned my apartment for "evidence." He accused me of corporate espionage, and Molly sobbed about my "betrayal," a perfect picture of heartbroken friends. Baffled and breathless, I could only state, "I didn't do it. Someone is setting me up." But Matthew scoffed, dismissing my desperate plea, fully aware of my credentials' security. The next day, he broke up with me in his office, cold and clinical, amidst the company crisis. Later, I watched from my window as he kissed Molly passionately in the parking lot, her earlier tears replaced by laughter. The crushing realization hit me: this was no accident; this was a coordinated attack, a complete betrayal by the two people I trusted most. My grief lasted mere seconds before hardening into a cold, sharp fury. They thought they' d broken me, but they were wrong. I opened a new, encrypted file: "Investigation."

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.
