I woke up to the smell of expensive cologne and the familiar weight of a man's arm, smiling. For a second, I thought it was my Ethan, the passionate law student I loved. But the man beside me was a stranger-harder, older, and radiating a cold fury. "What now, Stella?" he spat, his eyes sharp and unforgiving. "What kind of game are you playing today?" He called me thirty, not twenty, a number that hit me like a physical blow. My reflection confirmed his cruel words: a pale, exhausted woman stared back, devoid of the vibrant spark I knew. Then, a small boy with Ethan' s eyes walked in, calling him "Dad." My stepsister, Jennifer, served them breakfast, acting like she owned the place. "Mom," the boy said, his voice flat with disdain, pointing to the furthest chair. "Dad said you're supposed to sit at the other end of the table." Mom? This cold, distant child was my son. My world fractured. I was lost and utterly alone in a life I didn't recognize, haunted by a terrifying question: what nightmare had I woken up to, and why had everyone turned against me? I had to find my Ethan, the real Ethan, and escape this twisted reality.

I woke up to the smell of expensive cologne and the familiar weight of a man's arm, smiling.

For a second, I thought it was my Ethan, the passionate law student I loved.

But the man beside me was a stranger-harder, older, and radiating a cold fury.

"What now, Stella?" he spat, his eyes sharp and unforgiving. "What kind of game are you playing today?"

He called me thirty, not twenty, a number that hit me like a physical blow.

My reflection confirmed his cruel words: a pale, exhausted woman stared back, devoid of the vibrant spark I knew.

Then, a small boy with Ethan' s eyes walked in, calling him "Dad."

My stepsister, Jennifer, served them breakfast, acting like she owned the place.

"Mom," the boy said, his voice flat with disdain, pointing to the furthest chair. "Dad said you're supposed to sit at the other end of the table."

Mom? This cold, distant child was my son.

My world fractured. I was lost and utterly alone in a life I didn't recognize, haunted by a terrifying question: what nightmare had I woken up to, and why had everyone turned against me?

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.
