"Do you understand that you're a whore?" His voice was laced with venom. "You've successfully ruined my life. And I promise, I will ruin yours too." He promised to break me, and he did. And now he's back and asking for forgiveness. *** Ivy Cole is broke, humiliated, and holding on by a thread as she works double shifts to keep her mother alive. So when a woman offers her five million dollars to marry a man she's never met, Ivy says yes. She doesn't have the luxury of choices. But Elliot Grayson is not just any man-he's cold, sharp-tongued, and still grieving a loss he refuses to speak about. From the moment they say "I do," he makes it clear: he doesn't want her, doesn't trust her, and won't pretend to. Thrown into a world where wealth means power and cruelty comes dressed in designer suits, Ivy finds herself drowning. Humiliated by Elliot. Silenced by his family. Broken by everyone who sees her as nothing more than a bought wife. And just when she starts to claw her way out of the wreckage, secrets buried in both their pasts threaten to destroy everything-including the fragile bond beginning to grow between them. He swore she'd ruined his life. Now she has to decide: will she stay and fight for her place in his world-or walk away before he breaks her for good?

BOUGHT TO BREAK: The Billionaire's Disposable Wife Chapter 1 01

01

I V Y

Tears rolled down my eyes as I looked at my frail mom. She was laying on the hospital bed, machines hooked up to her. My mom was sick with cancer. The doctors said she had three months to live but can survive up to six months with proper treatments.

That was why I had two jobs. I worked as the cleaner and chef in the hospital. I had to do everything to keep her alive but the downside was that it didn't give me enough time to visit her until it was late in the night.

I was risking it being here by this time of the afternoon but I just needed to see her. Squeezing her hands, I got no response. But that was okay, because she was sleeping.

My eyes drifted to the heart monitor to make sure, and I sighed in relief. My lips wobbled as the tears continued down my face. She looked so still, so lifeless and pale. Sometimes it was scary to look at her.

The door opened and I turned to see Jemma. She had a deep scowl on her face as she glared at me.

"Aren't you supposed to be serving lunch at the cafeteria?" She hissed and placed her hands on her hip.

Jemma was the head chef of the hospital, so she was also my boss. I quickly wiped my face with the back of my hands. "I'm sorry," I said. "I'll be there soon."

"No." She shook her head. She was angry, her face was red and the veins on her neck popped. "To the kitchen. Now!"

"Please, Jemma. Let me just say goodbye–" I didn't get to finish my sentence when Jemma grabbed my arm. Her nails dug into my skin as she dragged me out of the room and roughly shoved me towards the elevator.

I winced in pain, sniffling while also looking back. I wanted to make sure my mom's door was closed properly. It eventually clicked shut after a few long seconds.

Nurses and doctors watched as I was being manhandled by Jemma. They didn't say anything, not like I expected them to. This was how they were. Uncaring. And also the same.

Sometimes they yelled at me for no reason. I often wondered if they were even treating my mom. Dr. Nathan assured me they were. He was the only one that was nice to me. Unfortunately he didn't work all the time.

Jemma shoved me into the kitchen, and I mistakenly slammed my head on the edge of the fridge. A cry left my lips as I reached up to touch it.

Blood coated my hands and the tears just kept falling as I stared at my bloody hands through blurry vision. The others gave me pitiful looks but said nothing.

"Wash up and get dressed." Jemma tossed my apron towards me then left after barking at some others to join her outside. It landed at my feet. With a soft nod, I washed up at the sink and dawned on the apron.

"Wait," Olivia called when I moved to step out. I stopped and turned to her. She held up a band aid. "Here. It's a small cut, but you're still bleeding."

I thanked her and took the band aid, placing it on my forehead. Then, I went to do my job. Serve.

My mom got cancer right after I was done with high school. She was the only one I had and she'd given up everything for me to go to college. Of course I couldn't just up and leave for college when she had cancer.

So I touched all our savings but it was never enough. She got weaker everyday, thinner. We knew it was time for her to be admitted to the hospital. And so I offered to work to pay the bills.

My dad had left us when I was only five. I didn't remember much of him anyway, but mom said he wasn't a good husband or father. It was just two of us against the world, and everyday I prayed that she wouldn't leave me.

Not yet. I wasn't ready to do this life on my own. I couldn't.

We served doctors, and nurses as they took their lunch break. This lunch floor was for the employees. There was another one on the ground floor for the patients and family of patients. I had never worked there.

I think Jemma didn't want them to see how I was treated. It would be bad for business. But what could I expect from a general hospital?

The money wasn't there to put my mom in a private hospital. I almost always begged Dr. Nathan not to leave but that would be selfish. He had his family to go back to. So I could only wait until his next shift.

Soon enough, I was done serving and it was time for my clean up job. Before I left, I went to Jemma, I had to ask for permission to leave.

My knuckles rapped on her door and her snarky "come in" met my ears. I swallowed down the lump in my throat and walked in.

"Hi, I just wanted to let you know I'll be going to clean," I told her. My voice was not more than a squeak.

She slowly raised her head to me, then rolled her eyes and let out an irritated sigh. Like I was nothing more than a lint on her clothes.

Then she uttered words that made my heart crack in my chest. "Your salary will be reduced by five percent. That's for the stress you put me through to go looking for you when it was time for you to work."

"Please, Jemma." I sank to my knees. "Please, don't do this. It's just once and I needed to see her, please," I begged and began to cry again.

My face burned from crying all day, and my head pounded in my skull. Jemma ignored me, going back to her paperwork.

I kept pleading, begging her. I needed all the money I could get. Every. Single. Penny. And here she was, cutting me off by five percent. I wasn't even making much in the first place so five percent was a big deal. Twenty dollars an hour was not enough to sort out my mom's bills.

"Leave my office, Ivy," Jemma snapped after she'd had enough of my sobs. But I shook my head and kept begging, hoping she would change her mind. This was the first time-in the four months I've worked here- that I turned up late to work. She could just spare me, pardon me. She could have a little compassion, knowing my situation.

I should've known. It was wishful thinking. Jemma's heart was as hard as ice, and it wouldn't thaw. Grabbing me by my arm again,-the same arm she dug her nails into-she threw me out of her office.

And I landed as a heap on the floor with tears running down my face. Then she slammed the door shut.

>>>>

It was finally evening and I had not stopped crying. I'd left my mom's room because I needed a breather. My mom had woken up a few times, but she was too groggy to talk so I shushed her back to sleep.

I nursed the chocolate bar I grabbed from the vending machine while sitting at the empty reception of the hospital. It was quiet and empty for the first time in months. Even the receptionist wasn't on her seat at the moment.

Taking the opportunity, I let my eyes drift shut as I chewed. If there was anything I needed, it was a miracle.

As if my thoughts had been answered, a click of heels forced my eyes open. And I stared at the lady that was currently walking towards me.

She was dressed in a brown trench coat that was tied around her waist, and high heels that looked too expensive. She smelled expensive too.

I shrunk in my chair the closer she got to me. My eyes darted left and right, and there was no one else here except for us.

Her hair was in long blonde waves, and when she reached me, I was blown away by how stunning she was. Her scent enveloped me like a warm hug, then she smiled at me. Red ruby lips spread into a large smile.

"Hello," she said, looming over me and forcing my head to tilt upwards. "I'm Marianne, and I have a proposal for you."

She held red painted hands out for a handshake. I eyed the hand warily, noting the diamond encrusted watch that adorned her wrists.

I blinked. Once. "I'm Ivy Cole," I told her then took another bite of my chocolate bar. It was a nervous tick.

"This date, time and venue." She handed me a card. "Five million dollars to marry my son, Elliot Grayson. One year. What do you say, Ivy Cole?"

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

Woke Up Married To A Secret Zillionaire

I went to the New York City Clerk's office to handle a simple administrative matter, but the woman behind the glass handed me a nightmare instead. It was a certified marriage license from Clark County, Nevada, filed exactly three months ago. My vision blurred as I read the name in the spouse field: Baxter Noel. I was legally married to the ruthless billionaire whose legal team was currently suing me for intellectual property theft and trying to destroy my career. I remembered the conference in Las Vegas and a drink that tasted far too sweet, followed by a twelve-hour black hole in my memory that I had chalked up to exhaustion. When I sought help at my family's estate, my stepmother and sister didn't offer comfort; they stole my passport, shredded my clothes, and framed me for academic plagiarism to strip away my university fellowship. Even Baxter himself looked me in the eye with cold indifference, claiming he didn't know me and promising to have me arrested for fraud if I ever showed him that document again. Within twenty-four hours, I was homeless, jobless, and being hunted by the most powerful man in the city. I couldn't understand why a man who "eats people for breakfast" would be caught in the same trap as a struggling scientist like me. The confusion turned to pure terror when I looked at the witness signature on the license: Gene Mcclain. My mother, who was supposed to have died in a car crash ten years ago, had signed that paper with a fresh, trembling hand only ninety days ago. "I am holding a grenade, and I have no idea when the pin was pulled." Standing in the biting November wind with nothing but a laptop and a marriage license, I realized I was just a pawn in a much deadlier game. I stopped running and began to fight back, determined to use my unwanted status as the billionaire's wife to uncover the truth about the mother who came back from the dead.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
