Billionaire's Wife Free At Last
Billionaires On a bright and sunny winter day as Alyssa was staring out of the balcony window when her husband Noah Macari's Black Maybach pulled in the driveway. She was excited to see her Husband was home early so she ran down the stairs excitedly to greet her husband Noah when suddenly his sister Nancy Macari stepped out of the study in front of Alyssa and asked her "why was she was in a hurry"? Before Alyssa could speak the front door opened and Noah walked in with a indifferent look on his face as he looked at his wife Alyssa and then Nancy greeted her brother "Hello Noah, you're home early today". Noah greeted his sister with a smile and said "Grandpa Zach called me home early to prepare for a dinner party for a guest that arrived from abroad". Alyssa stood there without saying a word but confusion written all over her face. Nancy smiled at her brother and stepped aside so he could go up the stairs and get ready for dinner. Alyssa was not informed of this special guest from abroad and she felt the need to get some fresh air and walked out back to the Koi pond. Upstairs Noah Macari just came out of the shower and was getting dressed in a dark black suit with a nice dark gray undershirt made his dark hazel eyes shone and damp tousled black hair would make any woman stare in awe at him. Suddenly a loud shrieking scream comming from out back got everyones attention and everyone ran out back to see what what was going on. The Butler was pulling the beautiful actress Chloe, Noah's brother Braxton Macari's wife from the pond. Chloe was shivering from the cool winter breeze and being soaked from the water saying "Alyssa just tried to end my life why did she push me into the pond"? The maid was helping Alyssa out of the pond and didn't say a word. Alyssa looked up and saw Noah comforting Chloe his brother Braxton's wife and giving her his coat. While Noah was walking the hysterical Chloe inside to the warm mansion he quickly glared at his wife Alyssa and she stood there freezing and felt the maid ushering in go inside and warm up. Alyssa took a warm shower and when she got out Alyssa wrapped herself in her pink fleece bathrobe drying her hair on her way out to the bedroom to grab clothes from her closet. Noah was sitting on the bed and did not look her his wife in the eyes and said "old man Macari wants to see you in the study once you're dressed" then he stood up and walked out of the room. Alyssa looked at Noah's retreating back and said in a low voice "I didn't push Chloe into the pond". Noah stopped turned around and looked at Alyssa indifferently and turned back around and proceeded down the stairs. Once Alyssa was dressed in her warm pajamas she went down to the study to meet with old man Zach. When Alyssa walked into the study, old man Zach was sitting on a chair while Noah was standing near the doorway. Old man Zach Macari was furious and thew a book at Alyssa, which barely missed hitting her head and fell to the ground behind her. Old man Zach Macari yelled "I do not know why Noah married someone like you and who do you think you are throwing your brother in law's wife Chloe into a pond"? Old man Zach said to Alyssa "since you were never taught manners you will be taught in the Macari residence, you will kneel in this study until morning". Without another word old man Zach Macari opened the office window and let the winter breeze in and made the room cold with the breeze blowing in directly on Alyssa. Her pajamas did not keep the chill from reaching her skin she looked up at her husband Noah who did not say a word and suddenly the doorbell rang. Old man Zach said to Noah "our guest from abroad must be here let's welcome our guest and go eat" Noah walked out behind his grandpa without even glancing at his wife Alyssa and followed to greet their guest. When their butler opened the door stood a beautiful woman who was in her early 20's wearing a red haute couture dress, black coat, and her loose beach wave curls just screamed how she was from an influential family. Old man Zach greeted the woman "hello miss McCormick, long time no see". She stepped into the mansion and said to Zach "no need to address me so formally our family's have known each other a long time, just call me Nicole" with a bright smile. Nicole turned to Noah and went to give him a hug and said to him "long time no see and still as handsome as ever with a seductive laugh". Noah spoke to Nicole and said "long time no see miss McCormick". Nancy came running to the door and gasped and squealed "Nicole it's really you! It's been forever! Come let's eat dinner and let's catch up, I believe our cook as prepared someone your favorites from the past". Alyssa was kneeling in waiting for Noah to come and find out what happened, but he did not show up. Alyssa started to feel light headed and was shivering cold from the wind blowing in on her and her long wavy brunette hair was still damp from earlier and couldn't feel her knees she ended up passing out.

The Discarded Heiress: Marrying My Lethal Husband
Xiao Wang The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business.
I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar.
They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream.
When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything.
I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse?
But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter.
"If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance." 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. Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife
Daisy-kim "Wasn't I good in bed? Didn't I spoil you enough? What the hell did those fuckers give you that I couldn't?" My husband, Dean, yells at me for the very first time, gripping my hand and when I look into his eyes, I see how much he's hurting, how much he believed all the lies, how much he's not willing to listen.
"I'd never do that to you, Dean. I love you, please believe me," tears streamed down my face as I pleaded with him.
"You're meant for the streets Bella, and that's where you'd always be,"
And just like that my once perfect marriage hits the rock edge in a twinkle of an eye.
A stripper, an exotic dancer but none of that mattered to Dean, he promised to love me and he kept to his words, not until this day.
And even worse, he used my past against me, something he swore never to do..

The Bride He Cast Away on Their Wedding Night
PageProfit Studio In the glittering world of high society and cutthroat ambition, a single sentence shatters a marriage: "Let's get a divorce."

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father
Temple Madison 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."
