That isn't fair," I said, my voice cracking. "I cannot marry someone I do not love, no matter how convenient it is for you. "I am not going to do it!" I was shivering with wrath. Madam Angelica sighed heavily, her expression intensifying. "You're being selfish, Anna," she said. "It's not just about you; it's about the entire family and the future. I understand you don't want to marry someone you don't love, but I need you to understand the importance of this decision." I was at a breaking point.

MARRIED TO A CRUEL BILLIONAIRE Chapter 1 THE SHOCKER.

~ANNA'S POV~

Madam Angelica was flabbergasted by the old man's revelation. "That can't be right," she exclaimed. "My husband never mentioned anything like that to me."

I suddenly heard the commotion and rushed into the room.

Saw the look of shock on my mother's face and noticed the paper on the table. I picked up the note on the table and read it over my mother's shoulder. "50 million what" The glass of water fell from my hands out of shock, spilling it all over the floor.

The lawyer replied "Yes 50 million pounds, and this beautiful mansion was used as collateral for the loan"

"It's so unfortunate," the old man replied, his voice strong and unwavering. "Your father was a good man, but he made some bad decisions. NoNw it's up to you to decide what to do next."

"You have just a month to come up with my money, or you leave this mansion" He said leave the room.

The room was silent for a moment as he left. the only sound was the ticking of the grandfather clock in the corner. My mother and I exchanged glances, unsure of what to say or do next.

I stuttered, my voice shaking with emotion, "You're saying... there's no other option? This mansion is all that's left of my father's legacy. How can you take it away from us?" We were still reeling from the sudden loss of my father, and now the weight of our enormous debt threatened to crush us.

As I spoke, I felt a surge of desperation wash over me. The mansion had been my family's home for generations, filled with memories and mementos of my father's life. Losing it would be like losing a part of him all over again. I turned to the lawyer, pleading with him to find another solution, but his expression remained resolute.

"I'm afraid the situation is dire," the lawyer that came in with the man said, his voice firm but sympathetic. "Your father's debts were substantial. If you don't settle the debt, the mansion will be seized, and your family will be left with nothing."

I felt a cold sweat trickle down my spine as the lawyer's words hung in the air. The thought of losing our family home, the only connection we had left to my father, was unbearable.

"What...what can we do?" I stammered, desperation creeping into my voice.

The lawyer sighed, his expression softening slightly. "We can try to negotiate with the creditor, see if he will accept a payment plan or a reduced settlement. But I must warn you that Mr Reynolds is not known for his flexibility."

I nodded, determination rising within me. "We'll do it. We'll find a way to save the mansion."

The lawyer nodded, a small smile on his face. "I'll do my best to help you. But we need to act quickly. Mr Reynolds is growing impatient, and time is running out."

As the lawyer stood to leave, I felt a sense of resolve wash over me. I would do whatever it took to save our family home, to honor my father's memory and preserve the legacy he had built.

But as I turned to my mother, I saw the fear and uncertainty etched on her face. And I knew that the road ahead would be fraught with challenges, and that saving the mansion would require more than just determination – it would require sacrifice, courage, and a willingness to fight for what was rightfully ours.

My mother slowly turned to me, her eyes vacant and her expression a mask of sadness. She nodded silently, and I guided her to the couch, where we sat down together. I held her hand tightly, trying to offer what little comfort I could.

"Mom, I know this is a lot to take in, but we need to talk about what's going to happen next," I said softly, trying to break the silence.

My mother took a deep breath, and her eyes began to focus. "I'm sorry, sweetie," she whispered, her voice cracking. "I should have been more prepared for this. Your father...he always handled the finances."

I gave my mom's hand a reassuring squeeze. "Don't blame yourself, Mom. We'll get through this together."

But as I offered her comfort, anxiety began to gnaw at my heart.

I thought about my new job at the bar, which I had taken to maintain my independence. However, my leave was over, and the thought of returning to work under my irritating supervisor was exhausting.

To make matters worse, my salary was barely enough to make ends meet, and even my entire year's pay wouldn't cover half of the debt we owed.

**************

It was a bright morning, and I quickly sprang out of bed. "Oh no, I'm already 30 minutes late for work!" I exclaimed.

I rushed through my morning routine and was ready to leave in no time. As I headed out the door, Madam Angelica called out, "I made breakfast, come have some!"

"I'm running late, I'll see you when I get back!" I replied, dashing out of the house.

As I stepped out of the cab, I saw my colleague already doing the tasks that were usually assigned to me. Mrs. Julian, our superior, stood at the front of the shop, her eyes fixed on me. This was her usual stance when dealing with latecomers. I knew I couldn't sneak in through the back door; she had already spotted me.

"Good morning, Madam Julian," I greeted her, lowering my head in respect.

"Follow me," she replied curtly, ignoring my greeting.

My heart skipped a beat. "Am I in trouble?" I wondered, whispering to myself.

As I trembled, I made eye contact with Rose, my friend, but she seemed unfazed.

Madam Julian sat down and handed me a note. "Here, take this."

I took the note, confusion etched on my face. "Sorry, ma'am, what's this for?" I asked.

Madam Julian's expression was unyielding. "I don't think your services are needed in this shop anymore. Your space has been given to someone else. So, don't cause any trouble, just leave quietly."

I stood up, my legs trembling beneath me, and turned to leave. I forced myself to hold back the hot tears that threatened to spill from my eyes. I couldn't let Madam Julian see me cry. I took a deep breath and walked out of the shop, the sound of the door closing behind me echoing through my mind like a death knell.

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.

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

Xiao Xiaosu

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback

The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback

Huo Wuer

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.
