With a contract, her family sold her to him, the notorious playboy in the city. She tried her best to get rid of him but still got trapped in the end. The man stood in front of her, however, was different from what the rumors said about him. He was intrigued by her since the first time he met her. Even though he got her, he still wanted more than that. He wanted her love, her heart and to be with her forever.

Chapter 1 Silas' Distinguished Guest

As night fell, the street lights began to come on, beautifully illuminating A City.

Amidst the towering buildings was the QH Hotel, and on its top floor were the presidential suites.

In a suite, Luna Ruan, in an elegant black dress, rushed into the bathroom, took out a document from her handbag and tore it into pieces.

She was about to flush the shreds of paper down the toilet when she heard noises on the other side of the door.

A woman was moaning in pleasure as her male companion breathed heavily. Luna's eyes widened as she realized what these sounds entailed.

Opening the bathroom door a crack to take a peek, she saw that only the lights of the bedroom and the bathroom were turned on.

She switched off the light right away and stuck her head out the door.

A loud moan reached her ears. She wrinkled her nose in disgust.

Word on the street was that Silas He spent twelve hours sleeping with different women every day.

It seemed that the rumor was true.

There was no way she would sleep with such a man just to get a contract signed.

No way in hell!

Judging from the sounds, it seemed things were getting heated in the bedroom.

An unpleasant smell filled the suite, which made Luna sick to her stomach.

'Now's the time to run!' she thought to herself.

She tiptoed out of the bathroom and ducked down behind the big sofa in the living room, crawling her way slowly to the front door.

With the door in sight, she felt a wave of relief. Unbeknownst to her, someone was sitting on the sofa, tapping his gloved fingers on the armrest.

The man squinted at her in the dark, quietly watching her every move.

"Ow!"

Just as she was about to reach the door, she bumped into the sharp corner of some furniture. The searing pain made her eyes well up with tears.

Rubbing her forehead, she looked up and unexpectedly met the eyes of the mystery man on the sofa.

"Ah!"

Utterly shocked, Luna gasped and lost her footing on the carpet. When she realized what happened, she clamped a hand on her mouth anxiously, eyes wide. To her relief, she could still hear Silas and the woman thoroughly enjoying themselves in the bedroom. It seemed they were completely oblivious to what was happening in the living room.

When Luna returned her gaze to the gloved man, she found him picking up something from the carpeted floor.

Frowning, she grabbed her handbag and eyed the man warily.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" she asked in a hushed, angry voice.

The man snorted.

His voice made Luna blush slightly.

But she decided she had nothing to do with this man. Her priority now was to get out of here as fast as she could.

Just as she took another step towards the door, the man grabbed her by the wrist.

"Ouch! What're you doing?"

She tried to wriggle free but his grasp was firm-so firm that tears began to well up in her eyes once more.

Seeing her glistening eyes, the man dragged her out of the room.

It was bright in the corridor. The sudden exposure to light blinded her momentarily and she squinted at her surroundings in a daze.

The man took out a card key and opened another suite.

Luna heard the sound of door opening and snapped back to her senses. What she saw made her feel quite uneasy.

Panic welling up inside her, she struggled violently.

'What does he want?'

The man dragged her into the suite, leading her to the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Tell me, why were you hiding in the bathroom?"

He placed his gloved hand under her chin, forcing her to look up at him.

Luna winced and made an excuse. "Mr. He asked me to come."

The man's eyebrows shot up in amusement. "Really? How come I didn't know that?"

"Could you please let go of me first?" Luna glared at him impatiently.

The man loosened his grip and leaned against the wall lazily, as if he was waiting for her to continue.

As soon as Luna was released, she rubbed her aching wrist angrily. "You're just his bodyguard. Who gives you the right to treat me like this?" she asked crossly.

His eyes narrowed slightly and he smiled, his eyes studying the woman who was trying desperately to hide her fear.

'Interesting!'

He reached into his pocket and pulled out the object he had picked up earlier, toying with it in his hand. But when he spoke, his voice was eerily cold. "Luna Ruan, I really underestimated you."

Luna froze.

'He knows my name!

How does he know my name?' Her mind raced as panic seized her.

Just as she opened her mouth to say something, she caught a glimpse of the lipstick in the man's hand. Her body stiffened, as though she had just been struck by lightning.

'Why is my lipstick in his hand?'

The truth was, that lipstick was a recorder in disguise.

So that was what he picked up from the floor. Her recorder!

'This is a disaster.'

She broke down. Her facade collapsed and she burst into tears.

"Sir, I'm sorry to have bothered you.

To tell you the truth, that lipstick was one of my mother's effects..."

The man sneered upon hearing this.

Luna didn't know whether he believed her or not.

She forced a smile and looked at his face carefully.

What she saw took her by surprise.

He actually was handsome, but not just handsome.

He was perfect!

The man's face was chiseled to perfection.

He had fair skin, deep eyes, prominent nose, and lips pursed in displeasure.

The man seemed to be very satisfied with the undisguised fascination and surprise in Luna's eyes. He turned the lipstick in his hand and said slowly, "You can go now. Don't let me catch you doing this again."

His words made Luna snap back to reality. Dubious, she wondered if he would actually let her off the hook so easily.

'I was so scared!'

Though she couldn't believe it, she ran away as fast as her legs could take her.

As she was closing the door behind her, she stole one last glance at the gloved man, catching a glimpse of his profile.

Shaking her head, she warned herself not to be enchanted by his beauty and left quickly.

The door slammed shut. The man's eyes were full of amusement. He reached for his phone and made a call.

"I want all the information about this woman, Luna Ruan," he said into the receiver.

Luna, relieved that she had somehow gotten herself out of that situation, had no idea that she was being investigated.

She figured Silas must have some special, private hobbies. That was why he needed bodyguards like this man.

She'd better not have anything to do with him.

She shook her head, hoping to get rid of the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

Later that night, she finally made it home. It was already 11 o'clock.

When she pushed the door open, she saw her father Jake Ruan, her stepmother, Lucy Lin and her half-sister, Nina Ruan, sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Nina must have said something funny, because Lucy was doubling up with laughter, and even Jake was smiling.

Luna paused at the door, a bitter taste lingering in her mouth.

She lowered her head. With all of them in the living room, it seemed she wouldn't be able to avoid being interrogated.

Luna tried to look as aggrieved as possible as she sat down opposite the three. That was when Lucy spoke up.

"How's it going, Luna?"

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.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.
