The Billionaire's Contracted Cinderella Chapter 1 Cinderella's Misery

Ella's POV

"Please, just give me some time. I'll pay back all the debt in three months," I beg, with my knees on the ground, my head down and bruises all over my face. From the corner of my eye, I see one of the three men approaching me, I don't dare to look up. All three of them had tattoos all over their bodies and you don't mess with those kind of people.

"You better pay us every single penny your boyfriend borrowed," he said as he grabbed my hair and squeezed my face with full force, " or you can also choose to pay us back with your body," he smirked at me and the two behind him laughed at his statement. At that moment I felt like they were vultures, ready to tear my body apart as they desired.

I felt disgusted but I was no position to fight, my ribs felt like they broke from all the beating I endured. One woman against three men, it would have been a clean fight.

"I-l promise you'll get your money back," I struggled to speak.

I could hear all three of them laughing, their voices increasing. It's getting harder to breath and I gasp for some air.

"ELLA! WAKE UP, YOU USELESS WHORE," I hear someone shouting.

I slowly open my eyes, still adjusting to the bright light coming from the window.

"You think you're living in a hotel. Get up now, start cleaning the counter and open the shop. You also have some deliveries to make," Aunt Maggie handed me keys in one hand and cleaner soap in other.

I have been living with her since my boyfriend ran away with his ex-girlfriend. That damn bastard, he's the only reason I'm living like this even after having a law degree.

My boyfriend, Mark Raymond, was my classmate in law school. He was quite famous for being handsome but had no brains. Mark used to hit on me every time he got a chance, I played hard to get at first as I thought he was just a playboy who was going to break my heart eventually and I had my own big dreams to achieve.

Mark kept trying and after 2 years I said yes to being his girlfriend. I truly loved him, but I didn't know he had other plans.

He wanted to open a law firm together and I was happy that was finally thinking about bringing things to the next level, the day I thought he was going to propose me was the day he left me in debt and my account bankrupt. He not only took a loan from bank but also burrowed money from the loan sharks.

I had no money, my license got cancelled and no place to live. I was basically homeless for two weeks but then I found out about my mother's cousin, Aunt Maggie, from the orphanage.

Let me tell you, Aunt Maggie wasn't very happy to see me. I had nothing to offer her except myself so I begged her to let me live in her house and in return I offered her to look after café she owned. That's how I became a delivery girl, even after having a degree in law. Aunt Maggie didn't pay me much so I had to work hard, making deliveries during the day and working as a cleaner in a bar at night. Sometimes I felt like I wasn't a human anymore, but just a working robot.

"Nikki, your breakfast's ready," I say in a low voice. Nikki is Aunt Maggie's daughter. Ever since I came here, Nikki disapproved of me. I wish I could just smack her face one day for making me do all her chores and college work. She doesn't treat me like a human, I am just a mere slave to her.

Nikki takes her sleep mask off and the first thing she does instead of giving me a proper reply is she picks up the mirror form the side table and checks her face.

"Did you make my lemon tea as I told you," she replies still staring at herself in the mirror.

"Yes I made it exactly like you wanted."

"And what about my assignment?"

"All done. I pulled an all nighter just to complete it."

"If I don't get an A+ this time , you're going to have to take the responsibility. Do you understand."

I could have done a lot of things in that moment but I decided to just smile and nod. Nikki gives me a disgusted look before gesturing me to leave.

I open up the café and start to clean and set the tables while thinking about all the debt I have to pay because of my dear boyfriend, Mark. I curse him under my breath, even his name leaves a distaste on my tongue.

Mark was great in bed though, it would be a lie if I said otherwise. He made me feel all sorts of things, gave me all he pleasure I wanted when he thirsted inside me, I begged him for more. Sometimes I miss the sex we had but I won't ever forgive that piece of shit. One day I'll find him and I'm going to make him pay for everything.

While I'm organizing the stock, I hear someone enter from the front door.

"Are you open?" a woman asks in a low voice, I turn towards him to reply and my face glows up with joy and I forget all my worries after seeing Nora, my best friend. We've been friends for years now, she's the only one I have left now.

Nora is the only family I have. We met in the Sunrise Orphan home, her parents abandoned her while my parents died in a car accident when I was eight.

I remember glimpses of my childhood memories, but the only thing I have left of my parents is a locket and a picture of mom, dad and me standing in front of a Ferris Wheel. I know my parents loved me, I meant the world to them but my world collapsed after their accident.

Nora was the reason I survived, she's my soul sister. Even after she got adopted by a family, she never broke contact with me.

"I've asked you a million times, Ella. Leave your crazy Aunt Maggie and come live with us," Nora says as he hands me a cookie.

"I can't Nora, you know that," I give her a sad smile. I don't want to bother Nora or her new family, I don't want to worry her.

I have no idea how I'm going to pay my debt back, I've only two months left and I have barely saved any money. The only thing that can save me now is a miracle.

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

I went to the New York City Clerk's office to handle a simple administrative matter, but the woman behind the glass handed me a nightmare instead. It was a certified marriage license from Clark County, Nevada, filed exactly three months ago. My vision blurred as I read the name in the spouse field: Baxter Noel. I was legally married to the ruthless billionaire whose legal team was currently suing me for intellectual property theft and trying to destroy my career. I remembered the conference in Las Vegas and a drink that tasted far too sweet, followed by a twelve-hour black hole in my memory that I had chalked up to exhaustion. When I sought help at my family's estate, my stepmother and sister didn't offer comfort; they stole my passport, shredded my clothes, and framed me for academic plagiarism to strip away my university fellowship. Even Baxter himself looked me in the eye with cold indifference, claiming he didn't know me and promising to have me arrested for fraud if I ever showed him that document again. Within twenty-four hours, I was homeless, jobless, and being hunted by the most powerful man in the city. I couldn't understand why a man who "eats people for breakfast" would be caught in the same trap as a struggling scientist like me. The confusion turned to pure terror when I looked at the witness signature on the license: Gene Mcclain. My mother, who was supposed to have died in a car crash ten years ago, had signed that paper with a fresh, trembling hand only ninety days ago. "I am holding a grenade, and I have no idea when the pin was pulled." Standing in the biting November wind with nothing but a laptop and a marriage license, I realized I was just a pawn in a much deadlier game. I stopped running and began to fight back, determined to use my unwanted status as the billionaire's wife to uncover the truth about the mother who came back from the dead.
