Burning with vengeance: The runaway Heir Chapter 1 Anniversary

The sun was scorching hot as summer was finally here. The streets of LA however were filled with cars hooting and overtaking each other, passengers walking on the pathways as everyone busied themselves with their businesses. Richard navigated his bike before branching and driving his old delivery bike to promise dishes where he worked as a delivery guy and a waiter.

He had just parked his bike and retrieved his delivery box when the voice of his boss called from inside.

" What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and help me." The lady bellowed, sending him a glare his way before strolling Inside the small eatery.

Although Mrs Clark, his boss, has always been overly harsh on him, she was the only person willing to hire him even with his disability.

Limping his way to the cafe, he started taking orders from the already impatient customers and did his best to attend to their needs.

Although the eatery was not always Parked, it was different at this time of the day considering that it was lunch time and many working class people would drop by for an afternoon bite.

The small cafe was not fancy but was clean and affordable, that's why people would prefer this place for a quick bite.

After the lunch rush hour was over, the number of customers decreased and the eatery was almost left empty.

" There's a delivery to make downtown, three Streets from the main road at Pinewood resident, house number twelve." Mrs Clark said, handing Richard a takeaway box.

" Don't take long,you have to help me clean the place and close up." She added only to have Richard scratch his head awkwardly. He had an hesitant look on his face, like he had something to say yet didn't Know how to do it.

"What?" Mrs Clark asked impatiently, he could tell that Richard had something to ask of her again. She just hoped he wasn't asking for an advance payment because that will be the last thing she will give him after paying him only two days ago.

" Boss, can I leave early? you see, it's our wedding anniversary and I wanted to get something for my wife." Richard asked politely.

It's been five years since Cassy and him got married. Although his marriage was practically going down the drain with Cassy always yelling at him, he was determined to salvage it and what best than to get her a gift for their fifth anniversary.

Mrs Clark rolled her eyes at Richard's request. Although he was a good worker and did his work diligently, she never approved his marriage to Cassy. Not because he wasn't worth the lady, it's just that she knew that a marriage between a rich and spoiled lady with a pauper like him will never work. She, of course knew that from experience since she was once in an arranged marriage with a wealthy Man and the despise and hate she received left and right from her husband's family got her single and childless for the last thirty years.

She might be harsh on Richard but after working with him for the last five years, she had come to like him for how hard-working and polite he was.

" Whatever, just go." She dismissed him, walking away to continue cleaning up the place.

" Thankyou Boss." Richard yelled from outside, a huge grin on his face.

He's not stupid to not see that Mrs Clark, although strict with him, treated him well.

She treated him better than how his in-laws treated him. Shoving those unpleasant thoughts at the back of his mind, he made his way to his delivery bike, secured the delivery box , ignited the bike and left for the said location.

After Richard delivered the takeaway, he made his way to the famous jewellery branch shop in Los Angeles called El Passion.

His wife Cassy had taken a liking on a certain bracelet which was trending six months ago.

It was expensive and Richard didn't have enough money to buy it for her. Now that in a few days it was going to be his and Cassy's fifth wedding anniversary, he decided to get the bracelet for her.

Richard was Sure that Cassy was going to be over the moon after seeing the gift he bought for her.

It's been two years, precisely one year after the birth of their daughter Melvin that Cassy's attitude towards him started getting worse.

At first, Richard decided to give her time to figure things out, maybe after that, their relationship will return to normal.

Things however started getting even more ugly. Cassy started hating Melvin, their daughter, for no apparent reason.

She would yell at the girl and make sure to keep her distance from her own daughter.

Richard confronted her about it and the answer he got shocked him to the core.

" I don't have a daughter. She is your daughter. Meeting you and marrying you was a mistake but the biggest mistake I ever made was giving birth to that bastard." Cassy had spat venomously, making Richard's mind momentarily go blank.

He fought himself not to lay his hands on the woman he loved and walked out of the house.

After that night, Cassy moved back to her family house, leaving Richard and Melvin to what she called a pigsty house.

She went back to live in the Mansion owned by her parents.

Cassy would rarely visit their daughter and the few times she did, Richard had to beg her to spend time with their daughter somehow.

Their relationship as husband and wife crumbled and they were only married in the paper.

Richard however holds the hope that maybe one day Cassy will come back to her senses and return to them, her family.

It's been two years and he's still holding on to that hope. He hoped that with the gift he was planning to give her on their anniversary, she would finally come back to them.

Smiling to himself, he made his way to El Passion.

He was greeted by a female sales Lady.

" Good evening sir, what can I do for you? " The Lady greeted respectfully.

Richard smiled at her.

" It's okay Miss, I'll just look around first." Richard replied as his eyes surveyed the designs on display.

Richard was about to proceed to the next shelf when someone called out his name.

" Richard! What are you doing here at El passion? Do you think any Dick,Tom and Harry can make their way here? You can't even afford even the cheapest item from El Passion, so what are you doing here stinking the place with your poverty?"

The voice was high pitched, attracting the attention of the customers at the shop.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda

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.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

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.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

Clara Bennett
5.0

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.
