Protagonist

: Livia Shelby and Damian Alexander

Trapped In His Love Obsession Chapter 1 1

A young, beautiful woman-no more than nineteen-sat quietly in the corner of an upscale café. She looked nervous, her hands folded neatly in her lap, and a glass of untouched iced coffee sweating on the table before her.

Her father's voice echoed in her head:

'Livia, you must please Mr. Alexander. Do whatever it takes to win him over. This marriage is our last chance.'

She squeezed her eyes shut for a moment, trying to block it out-but it was impossible. That one sentence had carved itself into her bones. It wasn't a plea. It was an order-from her so-called biological father, demanding repayment for the nineteen years he had "sheltered" her.

She straightened her spine, practicing a smile. Then another. And another.

'No matter what happens today,' she told herself, 'you just have to smile.'

A polite cough startled her.

"Miss Livia Shelby?"

She jumped up. It was the assistant-the same man who had picked her up earlier.

And behind him... a man walked in.

No-strode in.

The café seemed to shift the moment he entered. Damian Alexander wasn't just any man-he looked like someone who owned the world and expected everyone in it to bow.

Livia's breath caught. Her first time seeing him... and her entire body was already trembling.

This must be Damian Alexander. The man who would become her husband-or to be exact, her new boss.

Damian didn't waste a second. He sat down like he owned the chair, the café, the air around them. The assistant pulled out a thick brown envelope and placed it on the table with a practiced motion.

Damian barely glanced at her before sliding the envelope across the table. "Read it."

Livia blinked. "Y-yes, Sir."

She opened it with trembling fingers. The first sentence hit like a slap:

The second party must obey and listen to the first party in all matters during the duration of the marriage. The first party is the rule.

Her brain froze for a second.

'So... he's the law? Like, literally? Am I marrying a husband or a human constitution?'

But she caught herself in time and forced a smile. "Uh... just to clarify, this means I... should obey everything you say?"

Damian raised an eyebrow, amused. "Exactly."

"Oh. Wonderful. I-I like clarity." She gave a tiny, overly enthusiastic nod, like a schoolgirl who'd just passed a pop quiz. "It's very efficient."

He ignored her sarcasm-or didn't notice.

"Three rules."

She sat up straighter, ready.

"One-never interfere in my personal affairs. Especially my relationships with other women."

Livia blinked once. Then twice. "Okay," she said brightly, as if she'd just agreed to water the plants.

"Two-fulfill your role as my wife. Quietly."

"Yes, Sir. Quiet wife. Got it. Like a ninja wife."

He paused. "...What?"

"Nothing, Sir."

Damian eyed her, suspicious.

"Three-never embarrass me in public. Keep your behavior proper, presentable, and silent."

"Absolutely, Sir. I can be very... invisible when needed." She gave a polite smile that trembled at the edges.

A long silence followed.

Damian leaned back in his chair, observing her.

"You agree to all of that without even thinking?"

Livia nodded quickly. "Yes, Sir! I mean-what's there to think about? I'm very... agreeable. Very obedient. I-I take instructions like a pro."

Damian tilted his head. "Are you always this desperate to please?"

She froze, then laughed a little too loudly. "Oh no, not at all! I mean, yes-but also no. I just-uh-want this marriage to be... successful."

She mentally kicked herself. What does that even mean? Successful like a business merger?

Damian's lips curved into something that almost resembled amusement. "You're strange."

"I've heard that before," she muttered.

He stood up abruptly. "That's all for now. Brown will give you the detailed list later when he drives you home."

"Yes, Sir. Thank you for... the clarity."

Damian turned and walked out, his presence fading like a cold wind sweeping through the room.

Livia let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding. Her back was soaked in sweat.

Rule One: Don't interfere.

Rule Two: Be silent.

Rule Three: Be a ghost.

She grabbed her iced coffee and chugged it in one go, muttering to herself,

"Easy. Totally manageable. I'm basically halfway to being wallpaper already."

"Miss Livia Shelby, shall we?" Assistant Brown interrupted, standing by the door with an unreadable expression. He gestured toward the exit, signaling it was time to leave.

Livia nodded and stood up, clutching the contract papers as she followed him out.

The car ride was silent at first. Livia stared down at the envelope, her head throbbing from the overwhelming content. Inside were dozens of pages, like an exam she hadn't studied for.

Just as she was about to put the contract aside, Assistant Brown's voice broke the quiet from the driver's seat.

"These are the rules you must follow after becoming the young master's wife. I've written everything down in detail."

Livia didn't know much about the man sitting in front of her, except that his last name was Brown.

"Do I have to memorize all of this?" she asked, feeling overwhelmed.

"If you have any questions, please ask," Brown replied calmly.

'I want to protest and throw these papers in your face. Damn it!' Livia wanted to say-but instead, she smiled politely.

"Thank you for your hard work, Assistant Brown. I'll read and memorize everything so I don't make mistakes."

"It's my duty to keep everything around the young master running as it should," Brown said proudly.

'Wow, what a strange little slave,' Livia thought.

"The most important thing is that you serve the young master and fulfill your duties as his wife," he continued.

Unconsciously, Livia fiddled with a button on her shirt.

"Except-don't expect to serve the young master in bed. You're not really the type he likes."

'What! Who wants to sleep with that guy?' Livia sighed in relief. 'Honestly, I'm glad he hasn't touched a strand of my hair.'

"It's a shame, though. Mr. Damian Alexander is very handsome," she added with a laugh.

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.

Betrayed Bride: Claimed By The Brother

Reilly Mcardle

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

The Discarded Heiress: Marrying My Lethal Husband

Xiao Wang

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."
