A deal in Dispair Chapter 1 Working

Adrianna pov.

I have been working in a club not because I love it here but because this is the only way I am going to survive here in L.A. The city is so expensive that I have two jobs to be able to pay for my rent and my needs. The job is easy but the people here really make it hard for me.

"Adria, the boss wants to see you in his office," Essie, my best friend said.

"What! What have I done this time?" I asked out of fear since there have been rumours that the boss is a part of the mafia.

"I do not know. But you know that he will always have your back no matter what," she said.

Truth!!

Honestly I don't know why he always supports me in everything. He makes people think that I have slept with him while I haven't.

I nodded my head towards her direction before walking away. Let us see what this guy wants.

I walked upstairs and then knocked at his door when I arrived outside the office.

"Come in," he shouted from the other side.

I opened the door slowly then walked in.

"Ooh, Adrianna my dear. You came?" He asked.

"Yes, sir. You sent it to me. Do you want me to do anything for you?"

"Aaah, yes. You are so beautiful and it seems I cannot get you out of my mind.I want to fuck you endlessly. I promise you that the pay will be good," he said as he stood up and walked in front of me.

What! Who does he think I am? A whore or?

I shook my head at him. " I am sorry sir but there are so many whores out there in the club. You can go and get yourself one cause I am not,"

"How dare you defy me," he said and slapped me, making me fall to the ground.

"I am your boss therefore you will have to listen and do whatever I tell you," he said.

"Over my dead body bastard," I said as I got up.

He wanted to punch me in the stomach but I dodged it and gave him a smirk when he realised that he had missed.

"Oops. Sorry, your loss," I said and it seemed to anger him because he ran towards me trying to lunge at me but I punched him sending him flying back to his desk. He groaned in pain.

"You bitch, When I get my hands on you, you are going to regret it," he said as he spatted at me.

"No. You are the one who is going to regret slapping me. Didn't your mother teach you never to lay a hand on a woman?" I asked him.

I knew that it was angering him but at this point I did not care about losing my job or what would happen to me if his mafia comes after me. But who cares? He is not the head of a mafia or something.

He timed when I was not concentrating about him and he punched me on the stomach

"You bastard!" I snarred before punching him repeatedly.

"Never

ever

Beat

a woman

you may never know who she is or where she comes from," I told him as I punched him.

I do not know how long I have been punching him. I felt someone's hands removing me from me.

"Let go of me, bastard. I want to kill him," I shouted.

"Stop. He will be killed nonetheless but not by you," a deep voice said. It was not the same person who was getting me away.

The voice came from the corner. I fled and turned towards the direction of the voice.

Ace Vincenzo!!

What is the Italian mafia leader doing here?

"I guess then you know me by your face expression?" He said.

"What is the great, almighty, Ace Vincenzo doing here?" I asked.

"So you know my full names? Not many know me. I keep my identity hidden. I am also sure that you just know me as the youngest, successful CEO," he said.

"No sherlock. When I say great and the almighty is because the guy standing in front of me and talking to me is The italian mafia leader, Ace Vincenzo,"I said with a grin.

"How..?" The guy who had held me asked.

They both looked shocked by the way.

"What? You are not that good at hiding some details. Maybe you are able to do that to the world and some people but not me. And besides, your security codes in the mafia can easily be hacked," I said and they looked at me as if I had seen a ghost.

"You know that since you know who I am I cannot let you go, right?" he asked but I just shrugged around his question.

"You know what Vincenzo, I am not that good at following orders," immediately I said that, I threw my dagger towards each of them then jumped through the window.

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

Roderic Penn

I stood at my mother's open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest's voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone-he brought Charla with him. He claimed she'd had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

Landslide

My bank account showed exactly $42.18, and my student loan notifications were flashing red. I lived in a sweltering Queens apartment with my Aunt Lydia, where the air was thick with the smell of stale frying oil and the constant threat of being homeless. Lydia handed me a grainy photo of a man twice my age and told me she had already "sold" me to him. He was a dry cleaner looking for a wife, and in exchange for my hand, he would pay off her credit cards and my debt. If I didn't show up for the date that night, my boxes would be on the curb by midnight. I arrived at the cafe in a state of panic, my selective mutism making it impossible to even breathe. In the crowded room, I accidentally sat at the wrong table. Instead of the man from the photo, I found myself facing Gerhard Holcomb—the cold, terrifyingly handsome billionaire whose family owned the very museum where I worked. He didn't send me away; instead, he studied my trembling hands and offered me a different deal: a two-year contract marriage, a two-million-dollar payout, and a strict clause forbidding any children. I signed the papers and moved into his Park Avenue penthouse, thinking I was finally safe. But when I went back to the old apartment to retrieve the only memento of my dead parents, Lydia lashed out, leaving me bleeding from a head wound. Gerhard’s retaliation was absolute—he had her arrested and her building foreclosed on within hours, claiming he was simply "protecting his assets." As I recovered in his silent, glass-walled home, I saw a call from a famous socialite flash on his phone, and a cold truth settled in my gut. I wasn't just a wife; I was a placeholder, a silent shield used to fend off the women from his past. I looked at the massive pink diamond on my finger and realized the silence I had lived in my whole life was about to become my most expensive prison. I had traded a life of poverty for a high-stakes game of shadows, and now I had to survive the man who claimed to own me.

The Fallen Heiress's Debt to the Billionaire

The Fallen Heiress's Debt to the Billionaire

Shen Xiyan

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.

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

SHANA GRAY

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.
