When her mother's medical bills threaten to destroy her family, Flora Bennett accepts billionaire Harris Kingston's shocking proposal: marry him for one year, and he'll pay every debt. But Flora soon discovers her husband isn't who he claims to be-and the women before her have vanished without a trace. Now trapped in a deadly game of identity and deception, Flora must uncover the truth before she becomes the next victim of a psychopath's twisted obsession.

Love Remade – When Love Goes Haywire Chapter 1 The Day My Life Changed Forever

Flora's Pov

The fluorescent lights in the hospital corridor buzzed like angry wasps above my head as I stared at the stack of bills in my trembling hands. Each crisp white paper felt like a death sentence, the numbers blurring together until they became one impossible mountain of debt that threatened to crush what remained of my family.

Fifty thousand dollars.

That was the magic number that stood between my mother living and dying. Between my sixteen-year-old brother Tommy going to college or dropping out to work minimum-wage jobs for the rest of his life. Between keeping the small Brooklyn house that had been in our family for three generations or watching strangers tear it down for condos.

I pressed my back against the cold hospital wall and closed my emerald eyes, trying to block out the antiseptic smell that always made me think of death and desperation. When I opened them again, the numbers hadn't magically disappeared. They never did.

"Flora, sweetheart, you look exhausted."

My mother's voice made me quickly shove the bills into my worn leather purse. Sarah Bennett lay propped against white pillows, her once vibrant auburn hair now streaked with premature gray, her face pale but still managing that gentle smile she reserved for moments when she was trying to protect me from the truth.

"I'm fine, Mom." The lie tasted bitter on my tongue, but what else could I say? That the insurance company had denied her heart surgery claim? That the bank wanted to foreclose on our house in thirty days? That her medical bills were buried so deep in my father's gambling debts that I couldn't see daylight anymore?

"You're a terrible liar, you know that?" She reached for my hand with fingers that felt too thin, too fragile. "Just like your father."

The mention of Dad made my chest tighten. Patrick Bennett had been dead for five years, but his mistakes lived on like ghosts that haunted every corner of our lives. His gambling addiction hadn't died with him-it had simply transformed into a different kind of prison, one made of medical bills and overdue notices and desperate phone calls from debt collectors.

"The doctors say you're responding well to the medication," I said, changing the subject as I always did when thoughts of Dad threatened to overwhelm me. "That's good news."

"Flora." Her voice carried that tone I remembered from childhood, the one that meant she saw through my attempts at distraction. "I know we're in trouble. I know you're carrying this burden alone, and it isn't fair."

Before I could protest, Tommy burst through the door like a tornado of teenage energy and barely contained frustration. His sandy brown hair was disheveled from running his hands through it-a habit he had inherited from me-and his green eyes blazed with an anger that made him look older than his sixteen years.

"Flora, we need to talk." His voice cracked slightly, betraying the fear beneath his fury. "Now."

"Tommy, not here-"

"Yes, here." He pulled out his phone and thrust it toward me with shaking hands. "I just got off the phone with Kingston Investments. They own Dad's debts now. All of them."

The world tilted sideways. Kingston Investments. Everyone in New York knew that name, knew the man behind it. Harris Kingston, the youngest billionaire in the city, famous for his ruthless business tactics and his ability to destroy anyone who stood in his way.

"That's impossible," I whispered, but even as the words left my lips, I knew Tommy wouldn't lie about something like this.

"They bought out the gambling debts six months ago," Tommy continued, his voice growing stronger with each word. "And guess what? They want to meet with you. Tomorrow. Ten AM sharp at their Manhattan office."

My mother's hand tightened around mine. "Flora, you don't have to-"

"Yes, I do." The words came out steadier than I felt. "I have to try."

That night, I stood in front of my tiny bathroom mirror in the apartment I shared with Maya, practicing what I would say to Harris Kingston. How do you beg a billionaire for mercy? How do you explain that behind every number on his spreadsheet was a real person, a real family falling apart?

My reflection stared back at me-auburn hair that refused to stay neat, emerald eyes that revealed every emotion I tried to hide, and a face that looked far too young to be carrying the weight of my family's survival. I wasn't sophisticated like the women who probably graced Kingston's arm at charity galas. I was just Flora Bennett, an art teacher from Brooklyn who made thirty-five thousand dollars a year and dreamed of painting in Paris.

But I was also the only thing standing between my family and complete destruction.

The next morning arrived gray and cold, matching my mood as I stood outside the gleaming glass tower that housed Kingston Investments. Forty-seven floors of steel and ambition stretched toward the cloudy sky, making me feel impossibly small.

I had worn my best dress-a simple navy blue number I had bought for parent-teacher conferences-and my only pair of heels that weren't scuffed beyond repair. My hands shook as I pushed through the revolving door into a lobby that probably cost more to decorate than I would earn in a lifetime.

"Flora Bennett to see Mr. Kingston," I told the receptionist, a woman so perfectly polished she looked like she had stepped out of a magazine.

She looked me up and down with barely concealed disdain. "Forty-seventh floor. He's waiting."

The elevator ride felt like ascending to heaven or hell-I wasn't sure which. When the doors opened, I stepped into a world of marble and mahogany that screamed power and money. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered a view of the city that took my breath away.

"Miss Bennett?"

I turned toward the voice and felt the air leave my lungs completely.

Harris Kingston stood behind a desk the size of my kitchen table, and he was nothing like the cold, calculating businessman I had expected. He was tall-easily six feet two inches-with dark hair that looked like he had been running his hands through it and steel-gray eyes that seemed to see straight through me. His sharp jawline was softened by a small cleft in his chin, and when he moved around the desk toward me, every step was controlled, predatory.

He was devastatingly handsome in a way that made my heart skip beats I couldn't afford to lose.

"Mr. Kingston." I managed to keep my voice steady despite the way he was looking at me, like I was a puzzle he was trying to solve. "Thank you for seeing me."

"Please, sit." He gestured to a chair in front of his desk, but he didn't return to his own seat. Instead, he leaned against the edge of the desk, close enough that I could smell his expensive cologne and see the way his perfectly tailored suit emphasized his broad shoulders.

"I know why you're here," he said, his voice a low rumble that sent unexpected shivers down my spine. "Your family owes me a considerable amount of money."

"Yes." The word came out as barely more than a whisper. "And I'm here to ask for more time. My mother needs surgery, and-"

"I know about your mother's condition." He cut me off, but his tone wasn't cruel. If anything, there was something almost gentle in those steel-gray eyes. "I know about your brother's college applications. I know about your job at Brooklyn Elementary and your dreams of opening an art gallery someday."

My blood turned to ice. "How do you-"

"I make it my business to know everything about the people who owe me money, Miss Bennett." He pushed off from the desk and walked to the window, his hands clasped behind his back. "But I didn't ask you here to discuss payment plans."

Confusion swirled through me like fog. "Then why-"

He turned to face me, and something in his expression made my heart stop completely.

"I asked you here to propose marriage."

The world went completely silent. Even the sound of traffic forty-seven floors below seemed to disappear as I stared at this stranger who had just turned my universe upside down with four impossible words.

"I'm sorry, what?"

A smile ghosted across his lips-not kind, not cruel, but something infinitely more dangerous.

"Marry me, Flora Bennett. And I will make all your family's problems disappear forever."

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

For seventeen years, I was the crown jewel of the Kensington empire, the perfect daughter groomed for a royal future. Then, a cream-colored envelope landed in my lap, bearing a gold crest and a truth that turned my world into ice. The DNA test result was a cold, hard zero percent-I wasn't a Kensington. Before the ink could even dry, my parents invited my replacement, a girl named Alleen, into the drawing room and treated me like a trespasser in my own home. My mother, who once hosted galas in my honor, wouldn't even look me in the eye as she stroked Alleen's arm, whispering that she was finally "safe." My father handed me a one-million-dollar check-a mere tip for a billionaire-and told me to leave immediately to avoid tanking the company's stock price. "You're a thief! You lived my life, you spent my money, and you don't get to keep the loot!" Alleen shrieked, trying to claw the designer jacket off my shoulders while my "parents" watched with clinical detachment. I was dumped on a gritty sidewalk in Queens with nothing but three trunks and the address of a struggling laborer I was now supposed to call "Dad." I traded a marble mansion for a crumbling walk-up where the air smelled of exhaust and my new bedroom was a literal storage closet. My biological family thought I was a broken princess, and the Kensingtons thought they had successfully erased me with a payoff and a non-disclosure agreement. They had no idea that while I was hauling trunks up four flights of stairs, my secret media empire was already preparing to move against them. As I sat on a thin mattress in the dark, I opened my encrypted laptop and sent a single command that would cost my former father ten million dollars by breakfast. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves, but they forgot one thing: I'm the one who leads the pack.

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."
