MY CEO REGRETS: CHASING HIS HEIRESS WIFE. Chapter 1 1

~ LYRA ~

I lay on the bed, my head facing the white ceiling of the hospital, the antiseptic smell and the beeping of equipment filled the room.

The weight of Papa's death had finally landed me in the hospital after days of crying and mourning, coupled with skipped meals, my system finally broke down and I didn't need anyone to tell me I needed to see the doctor before it got worse.

"Congratulations Mrs White, you are a month in already!" Dr Paulin's voice broke in bringing me back from my reverie.

I was so lost that I didn't even hear her coming in.

Wiping the tears on my eyes from slipping down my cheeks with my hands, I sat up right.

"What do you say Doc?" I asked in disbelief, as I caught the joyful grin on her face, my eye balls were already filled with tears and my heart was beating faster waiting to confirm what she said.

"Yes, you heard me right Mrs White, you are pregnant and the symptoms you are experiencing are as a result of the growth of the baby, would you like to confirm with the probe?" She said as she lay me down on the bed and handed me the device shifting the screen to my view.

"Omg!" I gasped in shock, the tear I was holding back finally poured down, as I saw the little life inside me, my vision blur for a second.

I couldn't believe I was finally going to carry my child, after years of waiting patiently and feeling like a disappointment to Lucian.

"In a few months from now, you are finally going to become a mother,"

"Finally," I whispered, smiling like a fool from ear to ear as I looked at the screen with joy, I just can't wait to tell Lucian, or should I call Aryan first I thought?.

"Calm down, Mrs White I know you can't wait to share such great news with Mr Lucian, but you will have to meet me in my office, for some advice concerning your health and that of your baby." Dr Paulin said as she unplugged the device, I was so carried away with how Lucian would react to the news that I barely even listened to what she was saying.

I quickly adjusted my dress as I got down from the bed, feeling light and weightless. I followed Dr. Paulin blindly, my hand already resting protectively over my still-flat belly, a gentle caress for the little life inside me. My heart was a drum of pure, overwhelming joy.

I nodded along to Dr. Paulin's serious instructions about stress and health, barely registering the specifics, the news humming too loudly in my ears. I took the list of medications and the test results from her, tucking them into my purse, hardly noticing the paper.

My skin prickled with nervous energy as I exited the hospital, the kind of nervousness that precedes life-altering good news. I just couldn't wait to make the announcement.

I hurriedly got into my car, letting out a deep sigh of relief as I settled in, my phone buzzing stopped me right when I was about to fasten my seat belt, with excitement I rushed my bag, 'could this be Lucian finally returning my call', I hoped, but to my greatest shock it was a reminder of our three years anniversary.

My heart melted, sinking in despair, as I read the heading of the reminder "Just Give Me Three Years."

I sat there, the weight of the reminder crushing me. Papa had never supported my marriage to Lucian. His dearest wish was for me to take hold as CEO of his company, but I was so blindly lost in love that marrying Lucian was the only path I could see.

To appease him, I made a heartbreaking agreement: if my marriage failed within three years, I would return to manage his legacy.

Now, Papa was gone, unable to witness me carrying Lucian's child. Who could have ever believed that our turbulent marriage would not only survive this long, but also be blessed with a baby?

I pressed the phone, still displaying the haunting reminder, against my stomach. My heart sank, heavy and deep, as I tried to take in the heat of this news alongside the shadow of our past arrangement.

My life with Lucian was far from the fairy tale I'd imagined, often marked by his chilling distance.

Yet, I had fought, I had endured, and I had pulled through. Today marked our three-year anniversary, and with this incredible news, I refused to let any past unhappiness ruin it.

Wiping the tears of my face and getting a hold of myself, I swiftly pulled over from the parking lot and drove off.

I opened the door hurriedly, staggering slightly under the weight. On my right, the anniversary cake and my purse pulled me down; on my left, the bottle of chilled champagne I'd picked up downhill was heavy. I was bent and off-balance, and I could barely walk straight. All I wanted was to drop this precious, heavy cargo and finally share my news.

"Lucian, I have got great news for you-, just as I was about to drop the word, immediately my mouth paused and everything seemed to be in slow motion, it was Lucian on the sofa with Aryan, my best friend. Naked

They weren't hiding. They were simply... there. Lucian, my husband of three years, was on the sofa, and Aryan, my best friend, draped across him, her face nestled against his neck. The sight wasn't dramatic, it was intimate, a quiet, casual violation of everything sacred.

"What is the meaning of this!" The words were torn from me, a raw, strangled sound. The cake, the bag, the bottle, everything I held, crashed to the polished floor with sickening thuds, the glass of the champagne bottle shattering instantly.

I stood paralyzed, engulfed by the noise and the mess, unable to process anything beyond the naked tableau before me. I didn't know how to react.

"It is exactly what you are seeing, bitch," Aryan spat, her tone harsh and alien, nothing like the friend I had known since childhood.

Lucian stood up, pulling his pants on, and Aryan stood beside him, her smug smile a punch to the gut. The air was thick with the weight of their betrayal, heavy enough to choke me. I felt a numbness creeping in, like my body was trying to protect me from the pain.

"You lying wretch, acting like you didn't first cheat on me. Where are you coming from?" he demanded, not meeting my gaze, his movement sickeningly casual.

"What are you talking about, Lucian? I just got back from the hospital."

"Don't insult my intelligence. How do you explain these pictures and messages? Oh, you think I'm a fool?" Lucian spat, flicking several photos toward the coffee table. They showed a woman in one of my dresses, clearly photoshopped, locked in a kiss with a strange man.

I didn't need to look twice to confirm the deceit. My blood ran cold at his calculated cruelty. "This is obviously not me. It's a setup, Lucian. You have been the only man I have ever known or loved. Don't tell me you believed this trash?"

"My dear friend Lyra, your evil reign has come to an end. I am done lying and covering up for you. So I'm sorry about that." Aryan said, wrapping an arm around Lucian's bare waist, a gesture of ownership that made bile rise in my throat.

I couldn't breathe. My gaze snapped from Lucian to Aryan, the name I had almost called first with my amazing news.

"Aryan, what are you even talking about? What reign? We were friends! Since childhood! How could you do this?" My voice was a shaky whisper, laced with disbelief.

"Oh, Lyra, you've always been so naive. Did you really think Lucian stayed because he loved you? Please stop all that. News flash: the marriage failed a long time ago. We just sped up the timeline."

"She's right, Lyra. The only reason I put up with your constant mourning and the lack of intimacy was the timeline. Papa's ridiculous three-year ultimatum. Now he's dead, and the company is yours to inherit, right? Well, you can run it. Because I want a divorce."

"A divorce?" The word felt foreign and huge in my mouth. I took a step back, hitting the door frame.

But our anniversary is today! I was going to tell him the good news! That I was pregnant.

"No," I whispered, the numbness finally breaking, replaced by a surge of white-hot fury. My fingers clenched into fists, digging my nails into my palms.

I touched the curled doctor's note in my purse, the secret of the pregnancy, a fragile shield against the devastation, and the sudden realization of its timing was a cruel twist of the knife. I looked at Lucian, then at Aryan, their faces blurred by a fresh wave of tears that I furiously blinked away.

I turned, my legs moving on autopilot, carrying me past the shattered cake and the broken secrets.

I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I just kept walking, one foot in front of the other, leaving the house, the anniversary, and the horrific scene behind me, refusing to accept that the joyful life I had an hour ago was now a lie.

The Fallen Heiress's Debt to the Billionaire

I was once the princess of the Upper East Side, but now I’m just "debt wrapped in pretty skin." To keep my father alive in a federal penitentiary, I signed a contract I didn't fully understand. I thought it was about restoring my family's name, but producer Barnett Orr treated it like a bill of sale for my soul. Inside his limousine, the air smelled like gasoline and fear. Barnett didn't want a star; he wanted a victim. He bruised my jaw and ripped my vintage silk gown to shreds, laughing because he knew I couldn't fight back without signing my father's death warrant. "Don't forget who owns you, Felicity," he whispered. When he dragged me into Dewitt Knight’s penthouse party, I was a walking disaster. I huddled in Barnett’s oversized jacket, my lip bleeding and my spirit shattered. The elite crowd didn't see a victim; they saw a fallen girl selling herself for a role. A former rival poured red wine over me, and the room erupted in cruel laughter while Barnett told everyone he was just "testing my commitment." I looked up at the balcony, locking eyes with Dewitt Knight. He was a god in a bespoke suit, looking down at me with cold, lethal disgust. He didn't see the bruises or the desperation. He only saw a transaction he found beneath him. "So the rumors are true," he said, his voice cutting through the music. "The Aguilars really will do anything for money now. Even this." I was trapped between a monster who wanted to break me and a man who thought I was trash. No one cared that my father's life depended on my silence. When Barnett cornered me in a guest room later that night, his belt jingling like a death knell, I realized no one was coming to save a girl like me. I fought back with a crystal vase, shattering it against his shoulder, but I was drowning in my own terror. Just as Barnett lunged for my throat, the door was kicked off its hinges. Dewitt stood there, finally seeing the blood on the carpet and the map of purple bruises on my bare back. He chased the monster away, but I didn't feel safe. I locked the guest room door, wedged a chair under the handle, and slept with a silver letter opener pressed against my skin. When I crept into the kitchen at midnight and found him waiting in the shadows, I aimed the blade at his heart. "In this house, no one hurts you," he promised, his voice a low velvet rumble. But in a world where I had already been sold once, I knew that even protection came with a price I couldn't afford to pay.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

Clara Bennett

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.

The Discarded Heiress: Marrying My Lethal Husband

The Discarded Heiress: Marrying My Lethal Husband

Xiao Wang
5.0

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."
