"When grief seemed insurmountable, one man's life was forever changed by a promise to his late wife. Forced to marry his loyal assistant, he never expected to find love again. But as they navigated their unexpected union, they discovered a love that healed their hearts and defied the odds. Will their love flourish, or will the shadows of the past define their future?"

Chapter 1 The diagnosis

The ambulance sirens wailed as Samuel grasped Sarah's hand tightly, his eyes locked onto hers as they wheeled her into the emergency room. "You'll be fine," he whispered, trying to reassure her. Sarah nodded weakly, her grip on his hand firm. The doctors swiftly pushed her into the ICU, and the doors closed behind them.

Samuel paced anxiously outside, his mind racing with worry. Ten minutes ticked by, then twenty, then thirty, but there was no update from the doctors. An hour passed before Dr. Michael emerged, his expression somber. Samuel sprang to his feet, his eyes fixed intently on the doctor. "Dr. Michael!" he called out.

The doctor turned, his eyes filled with compassion. "I'm sorry, Mr. Sam," he said gently. "Your wife's condition is critical. She has stomach cancer, and it's advanced. We've done everything we can, but... she won't survive."

Samuel staggered back, his world crumbling around him. Dr. Michael handed a document to the nurse, explaining that treatment could only sustain Sarah for a week. "I'm sorry, Mr. Samuel," he repeated. "If there was anything I could do to save her, I would. But it's too late."

Samuel nodded tightly, tears streaming down his face. Dr. Michael left, and Samuel rushed to the bathroom, splashing water on his face. He stared at his reflection, and suddenly, he burst into tears, the weight of his loss crushing him.

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

The Mute Heiress's Fake Marriage Pact

I was finally brought back to the billionaire Vance estate after years in the grimy foster system, but the luxury Lincoln felt more like a funeral procession. My biological family didn't welcome me with open arms; they looked at me like a stain on a silk shirt. They thought I was a "defective" mute with cognitive delays, a spare part to be traded away. Within hours of my arrival, my father decided to sell me to Julian Thorne, a bitter, paralyzed heir, just to secure a corporate merger. My sister Tiffany treated me like trash, whispering for me to "go back to the gutter" before pouring red wine over my dress in front of Manhattan's elite. When a drunk cousin tried to lay hands on me at the engagement gala, my grandmother didn't protect me-she raised her silver-topped cane to strike my face for "embarrassing the family." They called me a sacrificial lamb, laughing as they signed the prenuptial agreement that stripped me of my freedom. They had no idea I was E-11, the underground hacker-artist the world was obsessed with, or that I had already breached their private servers. I found the hidden medical records-blood types A, A, and B-a biological impossibility that proved my "parents" were harboring a scandal that could ruin them. Why bring me back just to discard me again? And why was Julian Thorne, the man supposedly bound to a wheelchair, secretly running miles at dawn on his private estate? Standing in the middle of the ballroom, I didn't plead for mercy. I used a text-to-speech app to broadcast a cold, synthetic threat: "I have the records, Richard. Do you want me to explain genetics to the press, or should we leave quietly?" With the "paralyzed" billionaire as my unexpected accomplice, I walked out of the Vance house and into a much more dangerous game.
