He was the billionaire betrayed on his wedding day. Two broken vows. One ruthless deal. When Adrian Voss offers Talia Monroe a six-month marriage contract, it's supposed to fix their reputations not destroy their hearts. He's cold, calculated, and terrifyingly in control. She's impulsive, fiery, and impossible to tame. He says, "You'll marry me. You'll play the role. You'll obey." She shoots back, "You don't scare me." He leans closer, eyes like ice. "Good. Fear is useless. But obedience... that might save you." She signed for revenge. He planned for convenience. Neither expected obsession. In a marriage built on power, the real danger is falling in love.

Married by mistake to the billionaire Chapter 1 PROLOGUE ~ Two Weddings, One Mistake

Rain.

Of course it had to rain.

Because nothing says "perfect day" like waterproof mascara, drowned designer shoes, and a broken heart that refuses to stop pounding.

I stood at the altar, surrounded by two hundred people pretending not to stare, pretending they weren't all watching my life unravel in real time.

The cathedral smelled like roses, nerves, and regret.

Every seat was filled. Every head turned toward the aisle. But no one was walking down it.

Not my groom. Not my dream.

Just silence.

And somewhere behind me, someone whispered, "Poor thing."

My fingers tightened around my bouquet, bruising the lilies. My thoughts that cruel little voice inside me sighed,

Well, congratulations, Talia. You just became today's headline: The Bride Who Got Ghosted.

Ten minutes ago, the best man had called from an unknown number.

"He's not ready," he'd said. Voice trembling.

Then nothing.

No explanation. No apology. Just the kind of silence that ends things.

And now here I was drenched in heartbreak and lace while two hundred strangers judged my life choices like a reality show finale.

Maya, my best friend and designated emotional bodyguard, came stomping down the aisle in hot-pink heels that sounded like gunfire.

"Talia, babe, tell me you didn't just let that idiot run."

My throat was too tight to speak.

"Oh no," she continued, eyes flashing like a storm. "If he thinks he can humiliate you like this, I swear to God-"

"Maya." I forced a smile that didn't reach my eyes. "It's fine."

"It's not fine!" she hissed, hands on hips. "You look like a goddess, this church costs more than my rent, and that spineless fool just vanished? Oh, he's going viral for the wrong reasons."

A camera flashed somewhere behind us. The whispering grew louder, slicing through what was left of my dignity.

I exhaled, shaking. "Don't, Maya. I can't handle drama right now."

"Too late," she muttered. "Drama found you."

She wasn't wrong.

I could feel the whispers crawling up my skin, the pity, the shame, the awful stillness that came when hope finally died.

I was trying to breathe when a man appeared at the entrance - black suit, umbrella tucked under his arm, perfectly dry despite the rain.

He moved with the kind of calm that didn't belong in my chaos.

"Miss Monroe?" he asked.

I blinked. My voice came out rough. "Who's asking?"

"Mr. Voss would like a word."

I frowned. "Mr. who?"

"Adrian Voss."

The name hit like a thunderclap. Everyone in London knew it - billionaire, CEO, the man who could buy silence with a signature.

I almost laughed. "Right. And what would a billionaire possibly want with a woman who just got dumped mid-wedding?"

He hesitated. "He said you'd understand."

Maya's hand shot out, grabbing my arm. "Talia, this smells like a setup. Don't you dare."

But curiosity - and maybe pride - won. Because if I didn't leave this church, I was going to drown in humiliation.

"Fine," I said. "Where is he?"

The world blurred outside as we drove through the rain. My wedding dress was ruined, my makeup gone, my entire life sitting heavy on my shoulders like a soaked veil.

When the car stopped, I followed the man into a private suite that looked like sin and smelled like power.

He was already there.

Adrian Voss.

He sat behind a polished oak table, glass in hand, eyes unreadable. Colder than the rumors. Sharper than the photos.

He didn't even stand when I entered.

"You wanted to see me?" I asked, folding my arms because it was the only thing keeping me from shaking.

His gaze flicked up. "Sit."

My brows pulled together. "Excuse me?"

"I said, sit."

The tone wasn't loud. It didn't need to be. It was the kind of voice that made you obey before you realized you had.

So I sat.

He poured another glass of whiskey and slid it across the table toward me. I didn't touch it.

"What do you want?" I asked, my voice steadier than I felt.

"An arrangement," he said simply.

"An arrangement?" I repeated, like the word might start making sense if I said it slower.

"You're humiliated. I'm humiliated." His voice was smooth, measured, deadly calm. "You need to fix your reputation. I need to control the story. We can help each other."

I stared at him. "Help each other how?"

He looked me right in the eye. "Marry me."

I froze. "I'm sorry-what?"

"You heard me." His gaze didn't waver. "A marriage contract. Temporary. Six months. We pretend this was planned all along. You save face. I protect my company."

I laughed, sharp and shaky. "You're insane."

"Possibly." The corner of his mouth tilted - not a smile, more like a warning. "But so are you. You came here."

My pulse jumped. "You don't even know me."

"I don't need to." He slid a document across the table like it was nothing. "You're a problem, Miss Monroe. I solve problems. Efficiently."

I stared at the paper, then at him. "You think I'd marry a stranger because it's convenient?"

"No," he said coolly. "I think you'll do it because you hate losing more than you hate me."

The words hit like a slap.

He didn't even know me - and somehow, he did.

"Six months," he repeated, voice low, steady. "No strings. No emotions. Just headlines."

Silence filled the room, thick and dangerous.

He watched me like he already knew my answer.

And maybe he did. Because deep down, beneath the humiliation and hurt, something fierce sparked inside me.

I wasn't going to be the ghosted bride.

I was going to be the woman who turned heartbreak into a headline.

I picked up the pen. "Fine."

His expression didn't change, but I swore I saw satisfaction flicker behind those cold eyes.

"My lawyer will contact yours," he said.

"I'll have mine review it," I replied, trying to sound like I wasn't falling apart.

"Good." His voice dropped an octave. "I don't like naïve people."

And yet, I thought bitterly, he was marrying one.

That night, while London drowned under sheets of rain, two broken vows will merge into one calculated deal.

By morning, the tabloids will scream:

"VOSS & MONROE: SURPRISE WEDDING STUNS LONDON!"

And somewhere between exhaustion and disbelief, I realized-

this wasn't about love.

It was about survival.

And I'd just agreed to marry the man who could destroy me if he wanted to.

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."

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
