"I need to see Mr. Winchester! Please! My father--my father is dying I need..." "The world knows you are his mistress but Mr. Winchester does not entertain mistresses when he's working. Have some dignity and leave." ┌ Olivia Cabello has been the mistress to Ryat Winchester for two years. For two years she fools herself that the billionaire who's stone cold demeanor is well known by the press will one day love her and treat her more than just a plaything. She gets the shock of her life when Ryat gets engaged to a billionaire heiress and she is declared the other woman. A loose woman, they call her. A woman with no morals, they say. When the two red parallel lines on the pregnancy stick slap her with the bitter truth; it's time for Olivia to choose herself first. Except Ryat Winchester isn't letting go anytime soon. Not in this lifetime at least.

Chapter 1 PROLOGUE

OLIVIA CABELLO

My chest rises and falls with an erratic intake of breath.

The Manhattan city lights shine from outside the glass-ceiling windows in this penthouse, reaching all the way inside the room, to me and to the man standing in front of me.

He picks his shirt from the floor and my eyes linger on the muscles on his shoulders, the tats on his arms, down to his lean waist.

Ryat Winchester, first son to the Winchesters who own the whole of Manhattan, has always been handsome.

Blessed with emerald eyes- so dark and intriguing, a body built like a Greek god, messy dark brown hair and a chiseled jaw that could cut through cheese; he was Manhattan's most eligible bachelor for a reason.

I'm still sore since he was inside of me a few minutes ago but that doesn't mean I don't want more of Ryat Winchester tonight. I've wanted more for two years.

We meet on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at exactly ten pm. Once he gets what he wants from me which is sex (hot and steamy sex if I might add), he leaves. Nothing more, nothing less.

Lately, I've been wanting more and secretly I think he wants more too.

"Ryat", I purr his name nervously.

He doesn't cast me a glance as he picks his phone from the floor, turning it on and going through his messages.

"I've been thinking... maybe you could stay for the night?"

He never stays for the night.

Never. Ever.

His eyes move from his phone to me in seconds, his jaw already ticking.

"What's this about Olivia? You want more money? Is that it?"

I scoff.

"Does it always have to be money? I stopped taking money from you a month ago and now I just want..."

My emotions curb my throat as he takes lengthy strides towards the bed, towards me and I'm shaking a little beneath the covers.

"You want what, curvy?" his voice comes out harsh.

"Is it bad for you to spend just one night with me? You don't have to leave every time we have sex like I'm some stripper you found on the streets."

His hand picks a loose tendril of my dark hair, tucking it behind my ear.

This is the Ryat I fell in love with. The Ryat who is gentle with me and actually sees me more than an object he can use every week.

"You are a stripper, Olivia. Are you forgetting that? Are you forgetting you've been spreading your legs for me every time I get you on this bed? See you on Tuesday, curvy. I want those legs even wider for me when I see you again."

I'm not a stripper. I gave my virginity to you two years ago.

His lips land on my forehead.

Then he pulls away, walking towards the door with his phone in hand.

"Got a bit delayed with something, Tyson. I'm on my way", Ryat speaks into the phone.

Delayed with something. Not someone. Not me.

A minute later, the door closes behind him and I am left in the penthouse picking the pieces of my slightly broken heart.

I don't even get to cry and be miserable in this empty nine million-dollar penthouse when my phone rings somewhere in the room.

I get out of the bed and I find my phone hidden in a pile of my clothes.

Mom's number and her face covers my entire screen and I pick it up with my heart in my mouth.

"Mom-."

"W-where are you? Where were you, hija! I told you to look after your father while I was gone! I told you I would be gone for only ten minutes and you left him alone? Why, Liv? Why?"

I left because Ryat called me to meet a bit earlier than scheduled. Dad said he would be fine.

"Mom? Mama, calm down because I don't understand a word you are saying. Can you give dad the phone maybe he might-."

"This is all your fault! Your father... Liv, your father..."

My heart pounds at the sound of her voice cracking.

"Mom, what happened to dad? Mom, where's dad?"

"We are in the hospital!"

No.

No.

"H-Hospital?" I stutter.

"He had a heart attack, Liv. I found him on the floor... I don't know how long he was lying on the floor but Liv... he-he wasn't moving and the doctors... the doctors have said nothing yet."

"I'm on my way, mom. I'm coming."

Guilt eats me as tears sting my eyes.

I left my father alone and came to meet with Ryat thinking I would get my fairytale ending by confessing my love for him.

Now my father is...

Five minutes later, I'm in a cab headed to St. Anne's hospital.

Ten minutes later, I'm running to the hospital in heels and a face full of ruined makeup.

I spot my mother sobbing while my best friend Jules, consoles her.

"Mom, I'm here. I'm here. Everything is going to be okay."

My mother's tear-stricken face turns to me, her eyes gloss over me, my state, my makeup and my hair and disappointment covers her features.

I smell of sex, I look like I just stepped out from a hooker's bar downtown.

"Nothing is going to be okay, Liv. The doctors say your father needs to undergo bypass surgery immediately. Otherwise, we might lose him."

"We won't."

I won't let dad die. I need him. I need him so much.

"Where are we going to get two hundred thousand dollars, Olivia? Even with insurance, we can't afford that kind of money. We need to clear the bill before the surgery starts. What are we going to-."

"Ryat", I whisper.

Ryat Winchester has that kind of money.

Ryat Winchester will help me. I am sure of it.

Sharp pain pricks my right cheek and it takes a minute to realize my mother has just slapped me.

"Are you still that stupid? You have been one of Ryat Winchester's whores for so long that you've become this stupid? Everyone knows what you are, Liv but I kept quiet because I refused to believe you would stoop this low.

Your father is in this state because you left him for that man and now you think that Ryat Winchester will help you? You are nothing to him, Olivia! Wake up!"

Hot fat tears line my cheeks but I still speak.

"He... he will help me. If I ask for his help, he will help me and dad will survive this."

"Ryat Winchester is getting married, Olivia! He has no time for you or your problems."

Her words hit me like a bucket of acid to my face.

"He is not... "

He is not getting married. He's not engaged.

"It's all over the news. Ryat Winchester is set to wed Irina Buchanon in the next few months."

"No."

It comes out as a pained hiss.

"This is all your fault and all you can think about is a fairytale that will never exist instead of thinking about your own father?"

I take a few steps back muttering a 'no' over and over again.

When reality hits me back, I look at my mother and whisper what I believe to be the truth.

"Dad will survive this because I'll get the money from Ryat. He'll help, he cares about me."

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

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.

My stepmother sold me like a piece of inventory to a man known for breaking people just to plug the financial crater my father left behind. I was delivered to the Morton estate in the middle of a freezing storm, stripped of my phone, and told that if I didn't make myself useful, my senile grandfather would be evicted from his care facility by noon. The master of the house, Adonis Morton IV, was a monster living in a silent mausoleum, driven to the brink of madness by a sensory condition that turned every sound into a physical assault. When I was forced into his suite to serve him, he didn't see a human being; he saw a source of agony. In a fit of animalistic rage, he pinned me to the wall and nearly strangled me to death just for the sound of a shattering teacup. I only survived by using my grandfather’s secret herbal blends and pressure-point therapy to force his overactive nervous system into a drugged sleep. But saving him was my greatest mistake. Instead of letting me go, Adonis moved me into a guest suite connected to his own bedroom by a hidden door. He didn't just want me as a servant; he needed me as a human white-noise machine to drown out the demons in his head. The nightmare deepened when he took the promissory note that defined my freedom and tore it into confetti. By destroying the debt, he destroyed my exit strategy. He replaced my maid’s uniform with a silver silk dress that clung to my skin but did nothing to hide the dark, ugly bruises his fingers had left on my neck. He branded me as his "primary care associate," a title that was nothing more than a gilded cage. I felt a sickening sense of injustice as he forced me to sign a contract that banned me from contacting other men and required me to sleep wherever he slept. He looked at me with a possessive heat, calling me his "medication" rather than a woman. My family had sold my body, but Adonis Morton was intent on owning my very presence, using my grandfather’s medical bills as a leash to keep me within twenty feet of him at all times. Standing in a neglected greenhouse with mud staining my expensive silk, I realized I was no longer a victim waiting for rescue. If I was going to be his medication, I would learn how to be his cure—or his undoing. I began clearing the weeds with a cold, calculated frenzy, determined to turn this prison into my laboratory. He thinks he has trapped a helpless girl, but I am going to pry open the cracks in his stone walls until his entire world comes crashing down.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

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.
