The Billionaire's Plaything. Chapter 1 ONE

(Lorraina's POV)

I was fully dressed in a luxurious white wedding gown, looking composed as the stylist made the final touches it. The dress screamed elegance,every thread carefully woven, every layer designed to showcase grace and wealth.

My face glittered under the soft lights, with minimal makeup to complement my features. Red lipstick stained my lips, my hair was pulled into a perfect bun, the exact style that matched the royalty of my gown.

The stylist gently slipped the heels onto my feet, her touch careful, and reverent. Then I stood slowly, now fully dressed.

The bride was ready.

But behind the radiant glow on my face, behind the expensive dress and glistening veil, there was pain, a deep and consuming pain.The pain that no foundation or red lipstick could ever cover.

I didn't want this wedding. I didn't want this marriage.

Whether he was a billionaire or a beggar, I didn't care. I had no interest in marrying any man. Yet here I was, forced...no, sold-by my own father. He had consented to this alliance with a man I knew absolutely nothing about, blinded by his selfish desire to expand his business empire, he never once asked how I felt. Never cared whether I was happy or broken.

Ever since I was seven years old, my father changed. He transformed into a monster I couldn't recognize.

Alongside his cruel wife,my stepmother,they turned my life into a nightmare. He shouted constantly, beat me without mercy, starved me for days. He stripped me of every right I had as a child, reduced me to nothing more than a burden. His burden.

Sometimes I wondered if he was cursed or under a spell, because the man I once knew,the man who used to call me his "angel",was sweet, kind, and protective. Not the monster he turned to now.

I remember the exact moment he changed. He had returned from work late one evening, drunk and staggering.

"Papa..." I had run to him, excited as always to wrap my small arms around him like I used to. I didn't expect what came next.

Instead of pulling me into a warm embrace, he shoved me to the cold marble floor with anger in his eyes.

"You bastard!" he roared, the venom in his voice unlike anything I had heard before.

I blinked, confused, still too young to understand. I stood back up, tears stinging my eyes, and gently reached for his hand.

"Papa..." I whispered again.

That was when he dashed me,a harsh slap across my face that echoed louder than thunder.

That was the moment I realized: my father no longer loved me. That night marked the beginning of his hatred for me.

Years later, I learned that in his drunken state, he had muttered something shocking,that my mother had died. But deep down, I knew he was lying. My mother wasn't dead. She was somewhere out there. And he didn't want me to find her.

Now, here I stood, about to be handed over like a business contract to a stranger. My heart shattered into pieces as I confronted my father one last time.

"You hate me that much to push me into marriage at my age?" I asked, trembling.

His response came sharp and cold. "Yes. Be grateful I'm setting you free from me. Don't question my decision."

Tears filled my eyes, but I held them back.

He hated me. His wife hated me. His daughter, my stepsister, despised me. What was left for me here? Nothing. No reason to stay. No reason to fight.

"Is she not ready?" my stepmother's shrill voice called from the hallway.

"She's ready," the dresser answered.

Together, we left the room.

As we passed my stepmother, she leaned in and hissed, "Now that you're leaving this house, don't ever come back. Die in your in-laws' house."

Her words should have cut deep, but instead they ignited a quiet flame inside me. I stared at her, saying nothing. She was lucky this wedding happened so quickly, or I would've given her a taste of her own venom.

With each click of my heels on the marble floor, I walked down the aisle like a queen in exile. The soft melody of the piano played in the background. The wedding hall was exquisite, decorated with lavish flowers, golden drapes, and crystal chandeliers casting soft, golden light over the polished floor. It was breathtaking, yet I felt numb, especially when I saw him standing at the altar.

Levander Smith,my soon to be husband.

He turned the moment he heard my footsteps, his hands buried in his pockets. He looked like he belonged on a magazine cover, tall, sculpted, dark-haired with sharp features that made him look almost unreal. The sight of him made my heart skip a beat despite my inner pain.

As I reached him, he stretched out his hand.

Hesitantly, I placed mine in his.

From the corner of my eye, I saw my stepmother smiling wickedly. She was pleased. She thought she had won. Now that I was gone, everything, especially the family fortune,would belong to her daughter.

I met her gaze. I smiled. Revenge was an understatement. I was going to ruin her. One day, when I finally have the power, I'd come back for everything she took from me.

But will I even come back to this cruel place? I shrugged inwardly. No I don't think so, because I wouldn't even think about them.

When it came time to exchange rings, I stared into Levander's eyes. It was the first time I saw him this close. He was...perfect. Too perfect. And yet, there was something behind those eyes. Something dark.

"Now, Lorraina Blackwood, do you take Levander Smith as your lawfully wedded husband?" the priest asked.

I looked at my father. He was unbothered, seated casually, as if I was a pawn he had just moved on a chessboard. His eyes warned me not to say no.

I wanted to scream. I wanted to defy him, ruin the day he thought he'd win. But then I thought about the beatings. The starvation. The loneliness. This marriage might be the only escape I would ever get.

So I said it.

"Yes, I do," I declared, loud enough for everyone to hear. Applause filled the hall.

"And you, Levander Smith," the priest turned to him, "do you take Lorraina Blackwood as your lawfully wedded wife?"

Levander stared at me, and I felt it,that piercing glare. It was like his eyes saw right through me, like they could reach into my soul and tear it apart.

"Yes, I do," he replied, his voice cold...dark... dangerous.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the-"

The priest didn't even finish when Levander pulled me sharply into his arms. He crushed his lips against mine in a possessive, punishing kiss. His hand tilted my chin upward, and without hesitation, he forced his tongue into my mouth.

I opened up, shockingly...and kissed him back.

Gasps echoed in the hall. Cameras flashed furiously. My stepmother's jaw dropped. My stepsister scoffed,always jealous, always bitter.

He finally broke the kiss, leaving me breathless, still locked in his arms. He leaned in and whispered something that chilled me to the bone.

"Wifey,this kiss marks the beginning of your ruination. I will destroy you. And through you, your father will pay for every single sin."

My heart thudded in fear. This wasn't just a wedding. This was a trap. And I had just walked into it wearing white.

The guests erupted into applause, unaware of the sinister undertones in Levander's words.

As we walked back down the aisle, his grip on my hand tightened, sending a shiver down my spine.

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.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

My five-year-old daughter was turning blue in my arms, her body rigid with a 104-degree fever. I called my billionaire husband, Clifton, dozens of times as I rushed to the hospital, but he declined every single call. While I was screaming at doctors and fighting to save our child’s life, a news alert flashed on my phone. Clifton was at the Met Gala, looking devastatingly handsome as he intimately draped his tuxedo jacket over the shoulders of his mistress, Eleanora. The nightmare didn't end at the hospital. Clifton used a secret clause in our prenup to snatch Lily from her bed and move her to a private facility without my consent. When I finally found her, my own daughter shrank away from me in terror. "Go away, bad Mommy!" she sobbed, while the mistress fed her oatmeal and whispered that I was the one who made the doctors hurt her. Clifton stood by and watched, telling me I was too "hysterical" to be a mother. But then I discovered the real reason they were hiding her. My husband was illegally using my late mother’s rare bone marrow samples to treat Eleanora’s secret blood disorder. Now that those samples are failing, he is taking Lily to a secluded castle in Germany to harvest our daughter’s marrow for his mistress. I sat in the dark, watching them play happy family with the child they plan to sacrifice. I realized then that my marriage wasn't just a lie—it was a biological harvest. They think I’m just a broken trophy wife who doesn't understand the science they are using to destroy me. They have no idea that I am "Ghost," the anonymous medical genius behind the very research they are trying to steal. As we board the private jet to Germany, I’ve stopped crying and started calculating. If they want to play with life and death, I’ll show them exactly what happens when a mother stops being a victim and starts being a predator.
