The world seems to stop moving around her. Her thoughts went blank. Her eyes widened in surprise. Has she heard what her Boss, Jay Henryson said? A man feared by the whole of New York City? A man whose stares send death chills down the spines? A man whose presence makes hearts pound in their chests? How on earth is she supposed to act as a wife to such a man? Her mind swayed back to her dying mother lying on her hospital bed. Tears flowed freely down her eyes as she looked at the documents right in front of her. Will Avery be able to sign the documents and act as the CEO's wife while he saves her mother Or her mother would be left to her fate?

Chapter 1 A Marriage Contract!

"Are you signing or not?" The deep voice of her CEO brought her out of her thoughts. She only came here to ask for financial aid to foot her mother's medical expenses. Jay Henryson offered to help her but on a condition!

"How do you expect me to sign this marriage contract? You are my boss for Christ's sake." She burst out

"You will be doing us a favor by consenting to this. My parents have been on my neck for so long to get married. I just can't take it anymore. You can help me out while I take care of your mom's statements."

He said with a cold stare.

He has been her boss for two years and has always held a reputation for being cold and very stern. She only managed to survive under him as an employee just because of her mother's medical plight which demands a lot of cash. And here she is, about to act as a wife to someone of his caliber till God knows when.

With tears in her eyes, she signed the papers lying in front of her. She reached out for her bag and started walking towards the door.

"I will see you later, "Jay added. She reached for the doorknob without looking back at him. Her beeping ringtone brought her back to life.

She dug her hand deep into her bag to fetch her phone.

"Hello, Miss Avery, your presence is needed at the hospital right now!"

Avery's heart started beating so fast. What happened to her mom? She turned slowly to Jay with teary eyes.

"Mom..." the rest of the words got buried down her throat as she rushed out yelling for a taxi.

"Roman View General Hospital. Please drive very fast. It's an emergency!." She yelled at the driver before flinging the car door. As she sat down, she could do nothing but pray for her mother's safety.

Upon reaching the hospital, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure having a conversation with a group of medical practitioners. Her heart skipped a bit.

Avery walked toward them. As she got closer, she stopped in her tracks. Her instinct has never been wrong. It was none other than the devil himself, Jay Henryson.

As soon as the Doctors saw her, one called out to her.

"Miss Avery, what kept you this long? Your mother's case was an emergency."

"I'm sorry for coming late. I was caught up in traffic and my chauffeur didn't help matters." She managed to say with her gaze still on Jay

"Well, you know your mother's condition and we all are trying our best to adhere to her treatment. Luckily, your husband got here in time to cover her expenses and made an appointment for her to be flown to the best medical center in New York City for treatment," he added.

Jay could see the shock written on Avery's face and a very satisfying cold smirk broke down the corners of his lips.

As she stood there pondering, a baritone voice brought her back to her connotations. "Go meet your mom," he said coldly as ever and walked away. Avery watched him with a surprise written all over her face.

She opened the door to her mother's ward.

Slowly she walked in and sat by her mother.

"He came to tell me everything and I can assure you that he is a good man. Just go and be with him. I'll be alright " She added, patting her daughter's hair.

"Mom, This is too much for me to bear!" With this, she burst into tears.

Mrs. Tate's eyes welled with tears at the sight of her daughter's breakdown. She reached out for her hands and positioned them on her chest. Avery isn't ready to spend her life with Jay but she is willing to sacrifice everything for her mother to live. She looked at Her mom and nodded.

She left the hospital premises to prepare for the new home that awaits her. A home full of unfamiliar faces and events. How is she going to cope alone?

As she got home to unpack, a black luxurious car pulled up in front of her house and out stepped a silhouette figure. "Jay!?"

What on earth is this Man doing here? Just then he entered the room.

"Hi beautiful!" he said with a wink. He is not just the reserved guy that everyone knows but also a professional seducer. She thought to herself as she rolled her eyes over.

"Hi," She snapped back

He motioned to one guard to pick up her suitcase.

He turned his head towards her and without warning, planted a kiss on her lips. Avery went stiff the next instant. Before she could feel her palms, she had already landed a slap on his face!

His fists clenched in anger, his body on the verge of exploding, a visible scowl broke out on his forehead and his eyes radiated fire. Avery knew she had crossed the line this time. She closed her eyes and awaited her doom.

She felt a hand picking her up and throwing her over his shoulders. She opened her eyes and saw she was being carried by Jay. But this time, she did not protest. He hurdled her into the car and sat beside her staring through the windows as he lit his cigarette. Neither of them spoke throughout the journey to his place.

Avery felt petrified.

He dragged her out of the car when they arrived at his mansion and carried her upstairs, straight to a vast bedroom, threw her on the bed, and started unbuttoning his shirt.

"Wh..at..what...are you trying to do Jay?" She managed to ask in a trembling voice.

"A reminder not to ever raise your hands on me again!" He retorted. He jumped on her amidst her cry for plea Smooching her so aggressively that she could hardly breathe. He pinned her hands above her head. When Avery looked into his face, the sparks of fire that ignited from them were too horrifying for her to behold. Each whiff from him was so fierce that she could feel an immense desire flickering through his whole body. He pinned his weight down on her slender body and kissed her so fiercely but passionately, making his path along her earlobes. His beautiful long fingers, shook as he gently felt her soft breasts. He nipped them so tightly that Avery gasped in pain. A soft moan broke out from his lips.

He made his way down to her " Don't do this to me, Jay"

Avery prayed with eyes plugged with remorse. Just then, the bedroom door hurled open.

Jay turned snappily towards the door with gazes firing blood. His eye fell on the househelp. She quickly averted her eyes from his fierce look.

"Pardon me, sir, I didn't figure out you got back." She managed to find her voice and without reluctance, quickly left the room.

"Get up and get dressed " he murmured to her before stepping into the bathroom.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

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.

The Scars Behind My Golden Dress

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.
