"If you had said it before I wouldn't have brought my surprise," Bruce confessed as he turned to show us a lady standing at the door. I tried to adjust my eyes and after a long and hard stare trying to wonder who I was looking at, it hit me. It was Denise, my former highschool mate and the one person who made the four years of high school a living hell. In summary, she was a bully. "Denise?" Xavier asked making me wonder how he knew her. "I thought I made it clear to you that it's over between us," he retorted. It all now made sense to me. She was his ex and his grandfather had probably asked her to join him and Xavier possibly trying to reconcile the two. *** Xavier takes Adriana as collateral for the debt owed by her parents and from the get go, she takes his as a heartless monster. But after a while she starts falling in love with him but one his exes comes back wanting him. Will Xavier choose her or will he take back his ex so that he can claim his family's multimillion family company?

Billionaire's Bargain Chapter 1 Ruthless Collector

Adriana POV

I woke up to the sound of a loud crashing house which made me sit upright on my bed. Taking in deep breaths, I looked around and noticed that everything in my room was in place. I could feel the sweat trickling across my temple and I wiped it with the back of my hand. The house was silent and all I could hear now was the sound of my own heart beating.

Maybe it was just a nightmare. I tried reasoning as I concluded that it could have possibly been a dream. The neighborhood was silent apart from the sound of crickets and cats rummaging through trash bins that were outside the houses.

Convinced that it was just my dream that had brought me back to reality I lay back down and covered myself hopeful to get some sleep. The moment I lay my head down, I heard it again.

A loud crash that made me sit up again. This time I was sure that it was not a dream that had blended into reality. It was clear and it came from downstairs. It almost sounded like someone was downstairs staggering into things.

I got out of bed and sneakily went to the door. Twisting the knob gently, I opened the door hoping that it wouldn't creak and sell me out as it always did when I tried to sneak back home after partying with my friends in the past.

I tiptoed across the hall to my parent's room and was surprised to find the door open but they weren't there. Concerned, I went to the stairs that led downstairs and listened in if I could hear anything.

"Where is my money?" A deep voice asked demanding an answer.

I could tell that it wasn't my father and my thoughts went into overdrive as I started to panic. I couldn't find them anywhere and there was a stranger in our house in the middle of the night.

"Please, we will get you the money. We just need more time,"

I couldn't mistake my mother's voice. She was the one pleading and from the way she sounded, she had probably been crying and was still crying.

I walked down the stairs curious about what was happening all this while wondering where my father was. He was the one who could protect us from whoever was in our home. When made it to the bottom of the stairs I followed the sound and it led to the living room.

All the lights in the house were off except for this one. I walked briskly to the door that led to the living room and tried to peep in. With my heart in my hand and holding my breath, I poked out my head slightly hoping to see what was happening.

The sight I was met with was one that I couldn't have prepared for. In our own living room there sat a man flanked by two men behind him who were masked. Together with them there were two other men with their backs to me holding my father who was on his knees but looked like he barely had any strength to keep him up.

Across my father was my own mother on her knees bawling her eyes out pleading with the man.

"Please. Just one more month," my mother said as she cried her eyes out.

I couldn't believe the sight in front of me. Here I was looking at both my parents on their knees in front of this stranger who had a smug look on his face and had his goons doing his work. I tried to comprehend what my parents could have possibly gotten themselves involved with to the point where this was happening but nothing came to mind.

As questions flooded my mind, I also wondered why my father who had his back towards me was not doing anything. It hit me when I heard him let out a strained cough and I saw him spitting blood on the carpet at his feet.

Whoever these men were had been beating the shit out of him and my mum had to watch all of it unfolds. I was about to turn around and go into the kitchen to call for the police when the man who I assumed was their leader spoke again.

"I've extended my deadlines everytime you asked for and I'm tired of the games. I want my money now!" He commanded, his voice sending chills down my spine.

"You're the one who works to provide in this house, right?" He asked looking at my father who nodded weakly. Wondering where he was going with this, he reached out into his side of the coat and pulled out a gun. My mother's pleas immediately went silent and I could see my father start to struggle with the men holding him. He brandished the gun in front of his face and a devilish smile came across his face.

Whatever he was thinking about wasn't good and I could feel it. I was surprised that he hadn't seen me this entire time even though I was literally straight behind my father. I'm guessing the darkness behind camouflaged me well.

"You need a little motivation Mr Rogers. Don't worry, I won't kill you. Besides, if I kill you, how am I going to get my money?" the man asked with a chuckle. All this while I was wondering what money he was talking about.

For the better part of my life we've lived in what most would describe as poverty. I was barely able to go to school and got lucky to go to university courtesy of a scholarship that I was able to secure. Apart from that life was generally hard. My parents could barely pay the bills at home with my dad working three jobs and my mum at home due to some medical complications that they never told me in detail.

"Now, since you are the only one working, it wouldn't hurt if I give you some motivation on getting me my money," the man said pointing the gun directly at my mother and cocked the gun.

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.

My five-year-old daughter was turning blue in my arms, her body rigid with a 104-degree fever. I called my billionaire husband, Clifton, dozens of times as I rushed to the hospital, but he declined every single call. While I was screaming at doctors and fighting to save our child’s life, a news alert flashed on my phone. Clifton was at the Met Gala, looking devastatingly handsome as he intimately draped his tuxedo jacket over the shoulders of his mistress, Eleanora. The nightmare didn't end at the hospital. Clifton used a secret clause in our prenup to snatch Lily from her bed and move her to a private facility without my consent. When I finally found her, my own daughter shrank away from me in terror. "Go away, bad Mommy!" she sobbed, while the mistress fed her oatmeal and whispered that I was the one who made the doctors hurt her. Clifton stood by and watched, telling me I was too "hysterical" to be a mother. But then I discovered the real reason they were hiding her. My husband was illegally using my late mother’s rare bone marrow samples to treat Eleanora’s secret blood disorder. Now that those samples are failing, he is taking Lily to a secluded castle in Germany to harvest our daughter’s marrow for his mistress. I sat in the dark, watching them play happy family with the child they plan to sacrifice. I realized then that my marriage wasn't just a lie—it was a biological harvest. They think I’m just a broken trophy wife who doesn't understand the science they are using to destroy me. They have no idea that I am "Ghost," the anonymous medical genius behind the very research they are trying to steal. As we board the private jet to Germany, I’ve stopped crying and started calculating. If they want to play with life and death, I’ll show them exactly what happens when a mother stops being a victim and starts being a predator.

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.

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.
