Married to the billionaire badboy Chapter 1 The Wedding Bargain

Maria's Pov~

"Dad, what do you mean you want me to marry Rafael Santino?

"You have to listen to what I'm saying,my princess" Dad said

"Listen to the fact you want to sell me off just to save your own reputation" I retorted angrily.

"Why would I wake up.one morning and decide to sell my child?" he replied.

"Twenty years ago when your mother was ill, I borrowed some money from Mr Dante Santino and now he wants you as a replacement for my debts" he explained

I was speechless,why would Mr Dante want me as a replacement for my father's debt or was it because he needed someone to take his ruthless son.I looked at my father and saw how sadness etched his face. I knew that if he had the money he would have paid off the debts since.

I don't really blame him for being worried, the Santino's are known to be ruthless. Anyone who refuses their orders always ends up in a bad way.

I know the only way out of this mess was to agree to marry Rafael Santino, the only child of Dante and Alice Santino.

If only mom was alive we wouldn't be in this situation now. I lost my mom to breast cancer at the age of five (5), it's been pretty much me and dad ever since. And as a single dad I can pretty much say he has raised me well.

A year ago I graduated from college and haven't found a job yet. Though I work part time at a restaurant close to our house.

My best friend Estella also works with me.We have known each other since middle school and I'm grateful for someone like her.

"Dad, did he give you an ultimatum for me to agree to this?"I asked.

"No, he just said we should be ready for when he sends for us" dad replied.

"I really need some time to think over this dad" I said

"No problem my princess, I understand how you feel right now" he replied and left

I went into to my room. My room is very plain prefers because that's how my life has always been. I'm not really a fan of colour hence why I prefer my room to be painted black and most of the items I have are mostly black, white of brown in colour.

I sat on my bed as I pondered with my thoughts running through my mind.Marrying a stranger to save my father seems like a right thing for me to do but then again what of my own feelings.

I decide to take a shower to cool my brain so I would think of situation I am in later.

Rafeal's pov~

"What do you mean you found a wife for me?" I asked dad highly confused

I was at the balcony when my dad came to inform me of an arranged marriage he intended for me.

"Yes, I found a wife for you and mind your tongue near me young man, you seen to forget that I can revoke your inheritance anytime I feel like" dad replied

I groaned in frustration and paced around as I thought of what to say to change his mind.

"But dad you know I'm not ready for marriage yet, I need to take over the business before I can settle down" I said.

"This wedding will guarantee you inheriting the company from me but you do not seem interested. I suppose i can give it to someone else" he said

"No, father I will do as you wish, just tell me when and where" I replied with desperation in my voice

"Good, I will send you further details till then you are dismissed call your mother for me on your way out, we need to start planning the wedding" he said with a firm voice

I left him and went into the house as I thought of how I would explain this to my girlfriend Leticia.

I walked into my lavishly furnished room and laid on my bed staring at the ceiling in despair. My father threatening me with my inheritance doesn't come as a surprise to me cause this isn't the first time he has.

Most of my life has been controlled by him trying to mold me into the perfect son and even though I have tried everything to be a perfect son to him I'm just a failure.

I lost my Mom at the age of 14 and my dad remarried 1 year later. I felt so sad because he even mourn her for a long time. My stepmom Alice Smith now know as Mrs Alice Santino was a former beauty queen. I sometimes wonder why she married my dad who was older than her by 10 years gap. But that isn't my problem now.

My problem is how I would explain to my girlfriend Leticia about the fact I'm getting married soon to someone else all because of my father. I took my phone and dialed her number. She picked up almost immediately.

"Hey baby,I have missed you. Do you want to come over so we could have some fun she said seductively.

I wanted to say I would come over, so i could tell her to face about what my father has in store for me but I didn't want to look into her eyes before I broke her heart..so instead I said.

"Emm I'm not sure I can babe, I have something to tell you" I said then proceeded to tell her about the situation im in and the discussion I had with my father.

After I was done speaking I waited for her to say something. After a painfullly long silence she said

"Why can't you fight for our love, you want to leave me and do as your father said just because of your inheritance?"

"No babe, you don't understand even though I refuse to do as he said he would disown me please try and understand, I proywe would still be together just wait for me" I replied

"Would you still be visiting me even though you get married and what if you fall in love with her"

"Of course I will be visiting you and I wouldn't fall in love with her, you on your the only one I love" I said.

"Ok baby I trust you no bitch is going to come between us. I love you baby"

" I love you too babe and good night, talk to you tomorrow" I said heaving a sigh of relief because it actually went better than I could imagine.

I slept off thinking and dreading of the arranged marriage that was to come.

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.
