The Contract Bride Of The Billionaire

Rising From Wreckage: Starfall's Epic Comeback

Huo Wuer

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don't have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall-the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I'm not just leaving him; I'm taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood-the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

Vivian gave one Last breath before coming down from the taxi, back to the Same house she grew up in to celebrate her father and step mother anniversary, a place she once called home.

Vivian walked inside, avoiding curious gazes of the guest, she sighted her father talking to some guest with her step mother Evelyn, smiling brightly, her jewelry and clothes screamed wealth.

And at the other side was Kate her step sister, giggling annoyingly with her friends.

Like Kate knew someone was watching her , turned and saw Vivian, scanning her then grinned, leaving her friends she walked up to her parents and made them aware of Vivian's presence.

All these while Vivian saw the actions of Kate and knew she was up to no good, Evelyn and Kate would make fun of her dressing after succeeding on taking her inheritance from her late mother and throwing her out of the family.

Seeing them coming towards her.

Vivian took a glass of wine from the waiter and gulped it at once. "let's get over with this". She said.

"Vivian dear, I'm glad you came, I thought you didn't have enough money to come here, or don't tell me you came here empty handed".

Evelyn said loudly getting everyone's attention, "Scoundrels, after taking her inheritance from her, they still want more", Vivian thought. "Well two can play this game".

"Sadly I didn't think I should bring any gift, since you have taken my inheritance and disowned me, I'm not more than a guest, or rather a stranger" Vivian said killing two birds with one stone.

She just made it public that her inheritance was taken from her and she was disowned.

The guest began to murmur, Kate scoffed at Vivian, Evelyn and James Vivian father fumed, but to keep a good image they smiled .

"Now us not the right time to talk about this, let's enjoy the party "James said giving a warning to Vivian, Evelyn glared at her and they both walked away, leaving the two sisters behind.

Kate grinned at Vivian dressing, "I knew you were struggling but don't you have money to buy better clothes", she mocked, Vivian scoffed, "That's much, coming from someone who's mother stole my inheritance and has never worked for a dime in her entire life" she replied.

Kate laughed loudly, getting everyone's attention, " you could have come to beg us for Money, maybe we might just give you".

Vivian rolled her eyes, "The next time am coming is with a lawyer to get back my inheritance, and I promise you, it will be fun watching all of you loose everything you have". Vivian said, earning a glare from Kate.

The sound of a fork hitting a glass distracted the girls and caught everyone else's attention.

"Good evening everyone, I appreciate you for coming to our Anniversary and also for the wonderful gifts you gave us..." Vivian rolled her eyes, Evelyn was a gold digger and she didn't even bother to hide it.
