Escaping The Billionaire's Ten Million Dollar Debt

“For seven years, Stella Lane was Julian Sterling's perfect assistant and obedient possession, bought for three million dollars to keep her dying brother alive. But her gilded cage shattered the night Julian wagered her in a poker game against a ruthless underworld boss. He had the winning hand, yet he deliberately threw the game. "Go. Fulfill your duties." Julian's voice was as cold as ice as he handed her over to the predator. When his security team eventually intervened, it wasn't a rescue-it was just Julian sanitizing his property before his upcoming wedding to a wealthy heiress. Desperate, Stella handed in her resignation, only to be trapped by a ten-million-dollar breach-of-contract penalty. To further break her, Julian forced her to serve his new fiancée at a family dinner like a lowly maid. His grandmother even tried to pawn her off to a crude, arrogant heir, promising her massive debt would be cleared if she entertained him. Stella had given Julian her youth, her body, and her absolute loyalty, mistaking her jailer for a savior. Why was she just a disposable toy to him? Why, after discarding her for a perfect bride, did he still insist on torturing her with impossible debts and endless humiliation? Waking up in a hospital bed with severe pneumonia after finally fighting back, Stella looked at her phone ringing with Julian's name. She calmly ripped the IV needle from her bleeding hand and powered the phone off. The contract was dead, and this time, she was choosing herself.”
