I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan

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.

Adele entered the alpha's office and saw both of her mates Alpha Chris and Beta Liam sitting beside each other holding hands. Both looked at her with a blank expression.

"So the rumors are true?" Adele asked.

"What rumors?" Chris asked back.

"I heard rumors around the pack that you two are getting married. Is it true?"

Chris smiled and looked lovingly at Liam, then he looked back at Adele and said " Yes, we have waited for it for a long time and finally we are planning to get married soon".

Adele didn't know what to make out of this news. She didn't know whether she was happy or sad as both were her mates. She asked her wolf Alexa in her mind " What do you think about this?"

Alexa replies " I don't have any problem with them getting married as both of them are my fated soul mates, but what about us?"

Adele nods and asks Chris "Then what about us?"

"What us?" Chris asked unconcernedly.

"You two are my fated mates. I am even pregnant with your pups now. Don't you think we should also get married?"

"Why should we marry you when we don't even love you"? scoffed Chris. Liam was just sitting there as if uninterested in the whole thing.

Those words were like a blow to Adele and Alexa's heart. They knew their mate's behavior seemed weird from the past few days. Once the doctor had confirmed that she was pregnant, they had started ignoring her. Adele was hurt that both of her mates didn't want her.

"We have just recently met. We should spend time together and get to know each other. As we are mates I am sure we will come to love each other" whispered Adele.

"We will never love you. We didn't even want a mate in the first place" says Chris angrily.

"Then why did you accept me and get me here to your pack? You could have rejected me the moment we met".

"We needed you to give us heirs. You know we can have pups only from fated mates. We got you here to give birth to our pups and raise them. That is the only thing you are meant to do. Do not expect anything more".
