The CEO's sweetheart. Chapter 1 Looking for a wife

ROMAN VASSLLLEV'S POV

I had decided to make my findings about Federico Vincenzo and everyone who dealt with him ended up with the same lines of 'he treasures the concept of marriage', though I knew if I put a call through I could have a personal conversation with him due to my reputation in the business world, but I doubt he would take me so serious if he knew I wanted to become part of the world revolving around Suit Tailoring.

I mean suits and casinos may go together but not so much to want to own a Suit line too, the only thing that would seem to get his attention would be his treasured notion about marriage meaning I needed a wife as soon as possible, I would want to be acquainted with everyone involved in The Suit line of business here in Italy before The Autumn Suit Fest that rather involved half the world showcasing their tremendous pieces, hence the urgent need to acquire a woman with a charisma to intrigue Mr Vincenzo .

And if I'm being honest talking to a lady had never really cut it for me,and it was solely on their part, it's either they came off too clingy, or too needy or just not something I want to be involved with so how was I going to find not just any woman, one with outstanding characteristics?.

Yeah Dmitry might know a few but I doubt I could stand them or even Anton, he actually had a better taste in women than my brother, and as much as I would have loved to keep this new development from everyone I had no choice, I guess I'll be seeing them at City of Sin this weekend. Though it's my creation, The Club isn't a place I frequented, I did it for the sole purpose of a lucrative business hence the reason my brother runs the show there.

"You good for a weekend treat? Bills on me though," "Yes at The Club Dmitry don't sound so surprised, I own the place remember?" "Yeah nine will be just fine, Just Anton, yourself and I" "See you then". Arrghh, hope they can help me out here.

"Hey man you good? Though you don't look it" Anton acknowledged, yes I'm aware of that man, I hate being tied to a spot and that's all I am right now. Taking a sip of liquor I gave it away "I need a wife" the drink that was once deposited in Dmitry's mouth was sputtered out "Roman are you dying?" he asked "Fuck no Dmitry!, why would you even think that?!. "I don't know you tell me, for all I know you don't seem interested in woman, I could even bet on my life that you're still a virgin, so why would you want not just a woman 'A Wife' all of a sudden?!, Anton please tell me you can see where I'm coming from?.

"Roman I'll have to agree with Dmitry this time, you've never seemed interested so what's changed now?",hmm,here it comes "I want to fully go into the Suit Making line of business and The man I need to speak with has a thing for 'Man and Wife' he believes together they can build an empire, and you know how it is, I need to 'Dress to Impress' and my dress would be 'A Wife'.

"The problem now is I need someone with a charming charisma, someone who can intrigue this man, a smart, loyal,and maybe an air of delicacy to put softness to the character, I doubt anyone could resist these characteristics, she just has to put this front up until I'm able to get a deal with him. Please tell me you guys have someone in your archives that fit this personalities, even if it's all an act".

Dmitry was the first to speak "I'm sorry brother, what you're looking for can only be found in the heavens, because the ladies out here are about The money or attention and that's that", I could already feel hope slipping out, "Wait," Anton said, though he seemed reluctant,but I didn't mind, there may still be hope "there could be someone who matched these characters, there's a girl I met months ago on the outskirts of Campania,and though she doesn't talk much when she speaks there's wisdom coming from her words, she also has the delicacy you're talking about, I don't know about loyalty, there hasn't been anything I could place on that yet".

"Whats her name?" I softly enquired, he seemed to be protective of the girl, "Giulia Davide, she works in a high school as a librarian, and I doubt the work is cutting in for her expenses, so she is likely to accept your offer, or not, I'll have to speak with her first, if she calls in then you have yourself 'A Wife' ".

I was still going to wait on her? To call?, "Anton I have plans to catch up with, what if she doesn't call in? What do I do then?" "Well it's either you wait and hope she does call in or there are tons of women out there who would act out what you want, only thing is it might come off too perfect or too cringe, Giulia is natural, and that's what you need, Mr Vincenzo has been married for a long time, he would know a fake when he sees a fake".

Well there goes my fate again, I now have to wait for this Giulia to call in, great!!!. Meanwhile Dmitry had zoned out of the conversation a long time ago since he had nothing to contribute,following his line of sight there was a blonde girl giving him signs to come over, I bet he was already at her side mentally, so to relieve him and myself from the horrific sight I excused him, thanking him for his presence with us, Anton had a dinner date at home with his woman tonight and had to make a duty excuse to meet up with me so I excused him as well, he was going to talk to Giulia about my proposal tomorrow, and all I can do is hope she accepts.

THIRD PERSON POV:

"Giulia!!! How're youu? It's been a while, how's life and work as well?" an enthusiastic Anton spoke through the phone, and this had Giulia chuckling "What's got you so giddy this morning Anton, the last time you were this happy was when you found your crush had split with her boyfriend,and I know you guys are together now, or are you having a baby??!!" "Hell no!! It's been two months Giulia and I don't think I'm in anyway ready to be a father!"

An emotion slipped his voice that didn't go unnoticed by Giulia and she almost felt sorry for asking that question, so instead of voicing her thoughts that she's sorry she changed the topic immediately "So to what do I owe this call?" she asked, "There's a job offer that can earn you good money, not to sound judgemental but you can't hide the fact that your current job isn't cutting you a decent three square meal, and even if I offered my help you would decline, so a good friend of mine has a job offer I think would be beneficial to you and himself, why don't you check it out, meanwhile I've mailed the business card to you, if you're interested you make the call".

"I know Anton, it's no secret ok, so what's this job about, atleast you can give me a fair idea of what it is" Giulia asked, "It's not my place to tell you Giulia, how about you make the call and find out, if you don't like it you can decline it ok, no pressure" Giulia sensed he low key wanted her to accept the offer, how hard can it be, if she didn't like the terms she could decline so yeah...

"Alright Anton, I'll think about it, thank you for the look out too, extend my warmest regards to Viola okk" "Anytime Giulia, of course, she'll hear, infact, Lyubov',Giulia sends her regards! ', She says you're so sweet and she can't wait to finally meet you Giulia" this had Giulia smiling "Tell her soon enough, I'll pay you both a visit someday in Venice, now take care of yourselves and bye!!

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I've returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders-the man I was told was a crippled recluse-intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I'd cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent-the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower's security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy-Archibald's secret son-wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald's face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

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.

Betrayed Bride: Claimed By The Brother

Betrayed Bride: Claimed By The Brother

Reilly Mcardle

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

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.
