Then, on her wedding day, Vincent pleaded desperately, "Don't marry him..."

Sinful Temptation: Mr. Playboy Zillionaire Pleads For My Return Chapter 1 Scandal At The Funeral

"Iris, you're grown now..."

The words were a hushed breath against Iris Curtis's ear, dark with longing. Heat seared through her, a tremor rippling down her spine.

From the funeral home, the muted weeping of mourners could be heard.

Pinned against the wooden railing in a gazebo behind the funeral home, Iris whimpered, her voice unsteady, "Anyone could walk in..."

The hem of her black, form-fitting dress rode up, her long legs brushing against the sharp fabric of Vincent Stewart's tailored trousers.

......

"Have you heard? At Caden Lambert's funeral yesterday, a pair of shameless lovers were making out at the gazebo behind the funeral home."

In a private suite on the second floor of Mellow Café, Gretchen Higgins, a wealthy socialite, pressed a silk handkerchief to her lips as she leaned toward Bryanna Stewart, her expression curling with distaste.

"Some playboy must've gotten tangled up with a slut. No shame, even in a funeral home," Bryanna scoffed, revulsion flashing in her eyes.

Nothing disgusted her more than people who had a chaotic and depraved private life.

"The surveillance footage is already being reviewed by the Lambert family. It won't be long before they find out," Gretchen added.

Lost in thought, Iris jolted as coffee spilled onto the table.

Bryanna's eyes flicked up. "Iris, steady your hand while pouring the coffee."

Gretchen lifted her chin, her eyes settling on Iris with quiet scrutiny. "Bryanna, you've raised her well-polite, poised. And most importantly, she never crosses the line."

Bryanna took a slow sip of coffee, satisfied. "A woman's purity is her most valued virtue. For those from distinguished families, it matters even more."

The door to the suite groaned as it swung open. "Mr. Stewart has arrived," someone announced.

With her head lowered, Iris caught the gleam of impeccably polished leather shoes, the sharp lines of bespoke trousers-a portrait of quiet luxury.

Vincent greeted Gretchen and Bryanna, his voice carried a smooth, measured depth.

Bryanna, his sister-in-law, greeted him with a warm smile. "You only got back yesterday and headed straight to Caden's funeral. Iris, did you see him there?"

Heat rushed to Iris's face at the memory of last night's scandalous encounter. She still couldn't fathom why Vincent had suddenly lost control.

The coffee carafe in her hand was blistering, yet she barely felt it.

"No, we didn't cross paths," said Vincent.

Vincent reached for the carafe, taking it from her grasp and pouring himself a cup leisurely.

Her palm burned and flushed a furious shade of red.

A man who commanded power with effortless authority-yet just as easily, he could deny their connection and carry on as if nothing had happened.

Bryanna let out a light laugh. "Iris has always been a bit wary of Vincent. And with him being overseas for the past seven years, the gap between them only grew wider."

Gretchen laughed lightly. "That much is obvious. She looks like a mouse cornered by a cat-completely terrified."

Bryanna teased, "Iris, there's no need to be scared of him. Perhaps it's time I find him a wife. Someone who can get him to drop that icy exterior and bring out his smile."

Gretchen placed her cup down. "I heard Dolores Dawson is at Mellow Café today."

Bryanna turned to Vincent. "She's considering a connection through marriage with our family. What's your take on it?"

Vincent took a sip of coffee, fingers resting lightly on the delicate porcelain cup. "I'll let you handle it."

Iris lowered her head even further, her nails digging into her palm.

Bryanna beamed with approval. "I'll let Mrs. Dawson know that you're interested."

"Then congratulations are in order," Gretchen said with a wide smile. "Looks like we'll be raising our glasses at your wedding soon, Vincent."

Once their coffee was gone, Bryanna and Gretchen lingered near the entrance, making idle conversation.

Iris inched toward Vincent, whispering, "The funeral home had security cameras. The Lamberts are going through the footage."

Vincent took out a cigarette from its case, rolling it between his fingers before placing it between his lips. His tone was indifferent. "And?"

Iris's breath caught. "They'll discover it was us!"

The gazebo stood like a hidden sanctuary, cloaked in a lush tapestry of intertwining vines and vibrant green foliage. Inside, the space felt private, almost secluded; anyone outside would catch only glimpses of their silhouettes, framed by the enchanting display of nature.

However, the security footage might reveal their faces and every moment clearly.

"And?" Vincent bit down lightly on the cigarette, his tone almost amused, as if she had just told him something funny.

Since the death of Vincent's elder brother, Vincent had taken command of Stewart Group.

With the company dominating over half of the city's industries, he stood at the pinnacle of power-untouchable.

For him, their encounter was nothing more than a fleeting indulgence.

For her, it was a catastrophe waiting to unfold.

A sleek yellow Porsche pulled up to the curb, its tinted window lowering to reveal a few stylish young men in designer shades. "Stewart, let's hit the club."

Vincent crushed the cigarette between his fingers, his eyes sweeping the street. With no trash bin in sight, he flicked it toward Iris.

Then, without so much as a backward glance, he strode to the car and slid inside.

The Porsche sped off, leaving a trail of dust in its wake.

Iris stared at the cigarette butt resting in her palm, cold emptiness creeping in.

She felt she was nothing but a temporary amusement-used, discarded, and left behind.

......

Vincent hadn't set foot in his family home for days.

Bryanna called him. "I've arranged a meeting with Elianna Dawson. Are you going to see her?"

That very night, he came back.

As they sat in the living room, Bryanna cast Iris a knowing glance. "See? Vincent might entertain himself however he wants, but when it comes to important matters, he doesn't waste time. The moment Elianna's name came up, he was back in an instant."

Vincent leaned back against the sofa, his eyes settling on Iris. "Is your hand okay?"

Bryanna's brow furrowed. "Your hand? What happened, Iris?"

Iris curled her fingers into a fist. "It's nothing, just a minor burn."

A nearby servant let out a chuckle. "Mr. Stewart is quite the gentleman. He'll make a devoted husband one day."

Bryanna picked up a photograph and held it out. "This is Elianna. Take a look. Do you like her?"

Vincent arched a brow, then shifted his attention to Iris. "What do you think?"

Smirking, Bryanna slid the photo closer to Iris. "Go on, have a look."

In the photo, a young lady cradled a bouquet of lilies, her delicate features radiating innocence and her curves absolutely stunning.

Iris gave a barely perceptible nod.

Vincent studied the photograph for a minute before setting it down. "Not bad. Seems like you've got good taste, Iris."

Her brow twitched. It was Bryanna's choice. So why did it sound like she had a say in it?

She knew the truth. Vincent had a preference for women with alluring curves.

Bryanna clapped her hands. "A perfect match! Dolores mentioned Elianna had her eye on you for a while, Vincent. Seems like fate-you'd be tempting destiny if you turned her down."

Later, Iris went upstairs. She hadn't yet reached her room when a tall figure stepped into her path, pressing her into the corner of the staircase.

"Move out," Vincent muttered, his breath warm against her ear.

Iris struggled, but his grip was unyielding, holding her flush against his lean frame.

"I'll buy you an apartment," he murmured, lips grazing her skin.

Tears stung her eyes.

Tomorrow, he would meet Elianna. A perfect union between two powerful families-soon, there would be a wedding.

And what was she to him?

"You're not worried Miss Dawson will find out?" Iris blurted amidst tears.

Vincent pressed a lingering kiss to the hollow of her throat, his voice low and thick with desire. "She won't."

Iris squeezed her eyes shut as warm tears streaked down her cheeks.

To him, she was a secret lover, a caged plaything.

To the public, she was Bryanna's adopted daughter-a member of the Stewart family.

But the fact was that she was an orphan.

She had been fortunate-able to grow up like any other girl, given the opportunity to study. But it had all depended on Bryanna's fleeting moments of generosity.

There was no one to rely on but herself.

At the very least, she had her education. Enrolled in the top college in the city, she was just a year away from graduating.

One day, she hoped to be independent, save enough to buy her own apartment, live like any normal woman, fall in love, marry, and have children.

Nowhere in that future had she ever pictured being someone's secret lover.

"Uncle Vin..."

"Just call me Vincent," Vincent cut in, his grip tilting her chin up.

Iris gave a strained smile.

"I can act like it never happened that night."

In the dim light, a flicker of something unreadable passed through Vincent's eyes.

Downstairs, Bryanna's voice rang sharp and clear as she spoke into the phone. "I've got the surveillance footage now. Let's find out which slut had the nerve to seduce a man at a funeral."

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

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.

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.

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."
