The Billionaire's Enigma Chapter 1 PROVEN WRONG

Lena's Pov

"You are what?" my father asked, not sure of what he heard.

"I am ...."

I started to say before I was interrupted by a stinging slap that landed across my face. I stumbled backward, rubbing my cheek as tears welled in my eyes from the pain.

"Lena, what in the name of God have I done to deserve this, what!?" my father asked, half yelling and I could feel the anger boiling up inside him.

"Why did you score me like this, why!?"

"Answer me," he yelled in anger, making me flinch in fear.

I stood frozen to the spot, not daring to look up. I wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole this instant. I felt immense shame and couldn't find a word to respond to my father, who was demanding for one at the moment.

"Can't you hear your father? Answer the goddamn question!" my stepmother chimed in from where she was seated.

"I... I..." I stammered between my tears, not knowing what to say.

"Ever since your mother died, haven't I tried my best to make sure you are happy and comfortable? Is this what I get after all this?!" my father asked, with a mixture of pain in his voice.

"No, Daddy, you haven't," my mouth protested against my wish. I don't know where the courage came from, but I spoke, not caring about my present state.

"No, I haven't?" he asked, quiet surprise.

"Yes, Daddy, you haven't," I began, affirming my words.

"Ever since my mother died and you married this woman, you've neglected me. It got worse when she gave birth to a son. You no longer cared for me nor gave me the attention or love a father is supposed to give his daughter."

"Wow, really?" he asked.

"Yes, and that was what drove me to look for it elsewhere. I found it, and it led to this," I said, staring at his face, pointing down to my stomach and wiping my tears with the back of my left hand.

Before I could catch my breath or register what was happening around me, a slap from my stepmother landed across my face.

The pain I felt and the sound of it knocked me straight to the ground. I gazed up at her enraged face, rubbing my cheek as the tears flowed freely down my face.

"How dare you speak to your father in that tone? How disrespectful!" she poured out angrily, ready to pounce on me if I said anything bad again.

"Now you blame your father for your mistake?" she asked, pretending to be a senseable person.

I stood up from the ground and wiped my tears instantly. I stared at her, wondering what gave her the right to slap me in the first place.

"And was I talking to you?!" I asked her in annoyance, raising my voice a bit.

"What did you just say to me?" she asked as she came closer to me.

I stood still, not moving an inch from where I was, and repeated what I had said earlier, of course questioning her authority.

"Why are you acting all concerned all of a sudden? Why!?" I asked, gazing at her with a disgusted expression, refusing to back down.

"You and I know that what I am saying is the truth. You've estranged me from my father and reduced me to a maid in my own father's home, you wicked soul. You are the cause of all this!" I declared, standing my ground and leaving her speechless.

"You have no ......"

My father intervened, interrupting my outburst. "Enough, Lena!" he reprimanded. "Go pack your things and leave. I can't tolerate your behaviour, let alone the child you're carrying," he said, facing away from me.

"Daddy, you ....."

Before I could complete my response, my father reiterated his decision. "You heard me, Lena. I won't repeat myself, and don't ever step your feet in this premises again," he stated as he walked away, ignoring my pleas.

I tried to follow him, but my stepmother held me back, taunting me, "You heard him, right?" with a sinister smirk.

"You must be very happy now, are you not?" I asked her, staring straight into her eyes, fighting back my tears.

"Why should I be when you are still breathing real good?" she replied, narrowing her eyes at me.

"Furthermore, you shouldn't be worried about my present emotions but should be concerned about where you are going to lay your head tonight and beyond," she finished, smirking devilishly at me.

She was right, though. I shouldn't be worried about her or her emotions at the moment, and begging my father to allow me to stay one more time is an absolute waste of time. I stared at her for some time before finally giving her a reply.

"You will regret all of this," I said before going to pack my things and leave in tears and confusion.

I stood at a corner in the empty street, calling my best friend for the seventh time, but she still did not pick up.

After some time, I finally decided to call my boyfriend-Gideon, who didn't pick up either. After contemplating and concluding for a while, I decided to go to my boyfriend's place because it was past nine already at night, and the cold out here is killing me.

With the last money I had, I took a cab off to his place. As the cab got closer to my destination, I began to panic, lost in my own thoughts.

"How am I going to explain to Gideon that I am two months pregnant ? How will he take the news? What if he denys it, how will I go from there? My life is in a mess already. What if he is not even at home? What if he chases me out like my father..oh lord please ........"

"Ma'am, we are here," the cab man announced, drawing me out from my thoughts.

I married Clive Harrington, the coldest billionaire in Manhattan, under a strict contract that forbade any emotional burdens. When I needed a high-risk surgery to save my sight, I checked into the clinic alone, hiding the procedure from a husband who saw me as nothing more than a legal asset. I thought I could handle the darkness in silence. But while I was blind and bandaged in my hospital bed, my biological mother called, screaming that if I didn't produce a Harrington heir by the end of the fiscal year, she would cut off the life-saving treatments for my disabled sister. I was crawling on the cold hospital floor, desperately feeling for a cane I had dropped, when I touched a pair of expensive leather shoes. It was Clive. He was supposed to be in London closing a multi-million dollar deal, but there he was, watching his "contract wife" groveling in the dark like a beggar. He didn't walk away in disgust. He carried me to a five-thousand-dollar-a-night VIP suite and sat by my bed, listening in chilling silence as another voicemail from my mother filled the room, calling me a "useless broodmare" who was only worth the trust fund disbursements my marriage secured. I expected him to remind me of Clause 34B or hand me divorce papers now that I was "damaged goods." Instead, I felt his thumb brush a stray tear from my cheek, his presence shifting from a statue of ice into a predatory shield. "I thought I was just currency to you," I whispered, my voice trembling behind the gauze. "Just an investment." Clive didn't answer with words. He picked up his phone and called his head of legal with a single, terrifying command: "Kill the Douglas family’s credit lines. Every debt, every lien—trigger them all. If they want a war, I’ll give them a massacre." As he leaned down to kiss my bandaged forehead, I realized the contract was dead. My husband wasn't protecting an asset anymore; he was hunting the people who had dared to touch what belonged to him.

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.

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 fiancĂ©e. 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.
