Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father
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.CHAPTER ONE
Elara's POV
My heart stopped as I stared at the most handsome man I had ever seen. He was tall, muscular, and had bright blue eyes that made me weak.
"Elara, what's wrong with you?" my best friend Serenity asked, poking my shoulder.
"Huh? Oh, um, nothing," I mumbled, looking away from the man.
Serenity followed my gaze. "Wow, he's hot! But definitely an Alpha. You can tell by his power."
I sighed. "Yeah, you're right. He's probably a jerk like most Alphas."
"But you're dating a future Alpha too, remember?"
I frowned at her. "Tyler is different. He's not like them."
Serenity shrugged. "If you say so. Hey, you should go talk to that guy!"
"What? No way! I have a boyfriend, Serenity."
"I didn't say sleep with him, just flirt a little! Live a little, Elara. You're almost 18."
I watched the handsome stranger walk away, biting my lip. Maybe Serenity was right. It couldn't hurt to explore...
Curiosity got the best of me. I went to check out the other floors, secretly hoping I might run into him. Just as the elevator doors were closing, he dashed inside!
"Sorry about that," he said, grabbing my shoulders to steady himself. Then his eyes met mine and widened. "Well hello there, beautiful. I'm Luke ." He slid an arm around my waist, twirling my red hair with his other hand. I nearly melted.
"I'm Ser - I mean, Elara," I stammered. God, he was even better looking up close. The elevator dinged and I quickly pulled away, dashing down the hall before I did something I'd regret.
I turned a corner and froze. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My boyfriend Tyler had some girl pinned against the wall, whispering in her ear as she giggled and touched his chest. Rage boiled inside me.
'How dare he cheat on us!' My wolf Davina growled in my mind. 'We're royalty! He'll pay for this!'
I spun around and stomped back to the elevator, my eyes flashing with anger. Luke was there waiting for me.
