She was in it for the sake of her father, He was in it for the sake of his assets. When Isabella received the news of her ailing father, the last thing she expected was to find herself married to her Boss barely forty eight hours later! Within forty eight hours, she had made the biggest mistake of her life. Within forty eight hours, she realized exactly what kind of a man Xander Velasquez was – A cold hearted bastard and a difficult man. With a Contract Marriage binding them together, Xander Velasquez decides to make her life a living hell. However, she isn't bending to his will! Instead, she has a new goal in mind, to change her boss and husband. But then, a question still remains: Will she ever be able to see beyond His walls?

Beyond His Walls Chapter 1 What A Day!

Isabella's POV:

"We've managed to temporarily stabilize him for now, but we are not out of the woods yet. He has a 50-50% chance of survival in his current state as he might never wake up from this coma."

"To increase his chances of survival, we will have to replace his damaged heart within the next three months or risk losing him forever." He ended with a grave look.

I breathed shakily, my palms sweaty yet cold. "H-How much is the surgery?"

"The surgery will cost you $250,000." He responded.

It wrecked me as he delivered that last crushing blow to my soul.

My heart dropped to my stomach as I crumbled to the floor, spent. It felt like a piece inside of me had begun to wither as the reality of the situation weighed down on me like a brooding fiend.

I could possibly loose my father within the next ninety days.

He had been the only one there for me after my mother upped and left us two decades ago..

Offering a sincere apology, the doctor exited the room, giving me enough privacy to deal with the news. It was all crashing down on me, much too fast.

Tears pooled in my eyes, remembering.

I was just five at the time and couldn't process much of what was going on. Whenever I asked Dad about Mum, he always responded by telling me she had gone on a long vacation and would be back soon.

At the tender age of ten, I finally mustered up the courage to ask him to tell me the truth, assuring him I could handle it.

Taking a deep breath, he informed me that she left us. It crushed me even as I asked him why she did that. He had replied saying she never gave a real explanation.

Ever since then, it had been the two of us against the world, thick as thieves.

He gifted me a cake on every birthday and showed up at every major event. He was always present as a proud father to all of my graduations, showing up when it mattered most. He had been my strongest rock and supporter.

And now that he needed me the most, I didn't know how to be there for him.

As if just remembering what the doctor said, I took out my phone and went through my banking apps. I had a grand total of $100,000. I gripped the phone tightly as the first drop fell, then the next.

Putting it away, I was soon a crying mess on the floor.

Where the heck was I supposed to get $150,000?!

I couldn't afford to let the only man that had ever loved me more than I deserved, die like that, but I really didn't know what to do. Even if I sold my car and worked two jobs, it still wouldn't be enough.

Feeling utterly hopeless, I broke into another fit of tears. I stayed in that position for a long while before I could eventually collect myself. Sniffling as I got up, I walked over to where my father lay.

Looking down at his frail form with red puffy eyes as I stood at the side of his bed, I could hardly believe my eyes. For someone so full of life, he seemed so close to death with his pale skin and shut eyes.

Dressed in a plain hospital gown, the only thing signifying life in the otherwise quiet room was the steady rise and fall of his chest and the constant beeping of the monitor. I couldn't bear seeing him like this.

Clasping his left hand in mine, it was deathly cold. I sat down on the chair beside his bed.

"I will not let you die like this Dad. I will do everything within my power to see you open your eyes and walk on your two feet again."

Placing a single kiss on his hand, I crossed the room quickly and walked out the door, heading down to the doctor's office to discuss payment plans.

***

Hours later, I found myself in front of a popular nightclub, Omnia.

I smacked my head lightly. Ugh! I still can't believe I let Casperella talk me into this!

Dressed in a red knee length gown with my hair let down and only a thousand dollars left to my name, my blonde haired bestie had talked me into drinking away my pain before figuring out a solution.

Needless to say, she had a good talk. I was going to drink my heart out for tonight.

Walking into the large building, the booming music reached my ears first. It was a fast paced beat that had you swaying to the music as the vibrations made you shake.

Making my way through the sweaty bodies of the evening clubbers, I quickly found myself a seat at the bar.

I called out to the bartender. "I would like a shot of vodka."

Seconds later, I was downing the first shot of my drink. The liquid flowed down my throat in one swift motion, leaving a burning feeling in its wake.

"Another." I slid my glass over the bar, getting a refill almost immediately. I didn't want to think.

That was gone in seconds as well.

Slightly buzzed, I felt like dancing. So, I lightly stumbled over to the dance floor, swaying my hips to the fast beat with a hand in the air. Soon, a random guy joined me. Too buzzed to care, I ignored his presence.

We continued dancing for a few minutes before I heard them.

"Oh my gosh.. Is- Is he... Drunk?" A girl gushed. Her cheeks were tinged red, blushing as she looked at someone.

"I think so. This will make a great story: 'Multibillionaire Xander Velasquez Found Drunk At A Random Highbrow Club.' How does that sound?" Another one giggled as I rolled my eyes.

They were talking about my billionaire Boss, Xander Velasquez, as rumours began circulating.

Following the direction of their eyes, I spotted him quickly. Turning on my heels, I walked over to him. He seemed to be having a hard time staying awake as he blinked repeatedly.

Getting to him, I leaned down and said, "Sir, I'll be taking you home now. Rumours are beginning to spread about you. Do you think you can walk on your own?"

Nothing. He seemed dazed simply staring at me as he struggled to keep his eyes open.

Cutting my eyes to Ethan-Mr Velasquez's male personal assistant and my colleague, I signaled to him to help me out as I bent to help him up. He came over and immediately, we helped him to his feet and out of the club.

After successfully placing him in the car and shutting the door, Ethan thanked me before rushing over to the driver's seat. Once he was settled in, I lightly tapped the roof of the car twice, alerting him to move as he drove off.

Aware of my busy schedule ahead, I paid for my drinks and drove down to my apartment.

As my head hit the fluffy pillows, I couldn't help but think:

What a day!

I spent three years playing the role of a submissive, small-town wife for Evertt Baker, trading my true identity for a quiet life in a Manhattan penthouse. I thought my devotion would be enough to build a real home, but I was just a placeholder in his grand design. The illusion shattered at 2 AM when Evertt walked in smelling of Chanel No. 5—the signature scent of his mistress, Adda. Without a word of apology, he dropped divorce papers on the table, demanding I sign them immediately so he could finally be with the woman he truly loved. He looked at me with pure disgust, flicking a five-million-dollar check toward me as if he were paying off an incompetent employee. He told me it was more money than anyone from my "trailer park" background would ever see and ordered me to hurry because Adda was waiting in the car downstairs. He didn't care that I had spent years nursing him through illness and tolerating his family’s insults; he only cared about his own convenience. The sheer arrogance of his payout and the blatant disrespect of bringing his mistress to our home was the final blow. I realized that the man I loved never actually saw me, only the submissive shadow I had forced myself to become. I signed the papers with a fluid scrawl he didn't bother to check, then I fed his millions into the office shredder. I pulled a hidden, encrypted device from a kitchen drawer and dialed a number I hadn't called in three years. "Brother," I said, my voice finally steady. "Come get me. The game is over." Evertt thought he was discarding a penniless nobody, but he was about to find out that he had just declared war on the Stafford empire.

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.
