The Billionaire's Plaything. Chapter 1 ONE

(Lorraina's POV)

I was fully dressed in a luxurious white wedding gown, looking composed as the stylist made the final touches it. The dress screamed elegance,every thread carefully woven, every layer designed to showcase grace and wealth.

My face glittered under the soft lights, with minimal makeup to complement my features. Red lipstick stained my lips, my hair was pulled into a perfect bun, the exact style that matched the royalty of my gown.

The stylist gently slipped the heels onto my feet, her touch careful, and reverent. Then I stood slowly, now fully dressed.

The bride was ready.

But behind the radiant glow on my face, behind the expensive dress and glistening veil, there was pain, a deep and consuming pain.The pain that no foundation or red lipstick could ever cover.

I didn't want this wedding. I didn't want this marriage.

Whether he was a billionaire or a beggar, I didn't care. I had no interest in marrying any man. Yet here I was, forced...no, sold-by my own father. He had consented to this alliance with a man I knew absolutely nothing about, blinded by his selfish desire to expand his business empire, he never once asked how I felt. Never cared whether I was happy or broken.

Ever since I was seven years old, my father changed. He transformed into a monster I couldn't recognize.

Alongside his cruel wife,my stepmother,they turned my life into a nightmare. He shouted constantly, beat me without mercy, starved me for days. He stripped me of every right I had as a child, reduced me to nothing more than a burden. His burden.

Sometimes I wondered if he was cursed or under a spell, because the man I once knew,the man who used to call me his "angel",was sweet, kind, and protective. Not the monster he turned to now.

I remember the exact moment he changed. He had returned from work late one evening, drunk and staggering.

"Papa..." I had run to him, excited as always to wrap my small arms around him like I used to. I didn't expect what came next.

Instead of pulling me into a warm embrace, he shoved me to the cold marble floor with anger in his eyes.

"You bastard!" he roared, the venom in his voice unlike anything I had heard before.

I blinked, confused, still too young to understand. I stood back up, tears stinging my eyes, and gently reached for his hand.

"Papa..." I whispered again.

That was when he dashed me,a harsh slap across my face that echoed louder than thunder.

That was the moment I realized: my father no longer loved me. That night marked the beginning of his hatred for me.

Years later, I learned that in his drunken state, he had muttered something shocking,that my mother had died. But deep down, I knew he was lying. My mother wasn't dead. She was somewhere out there. And he didn't want me to find her.

Now, here I stood, about to be handed over like a business contract to a stranger. My heart shattered into pieces as I confronted my father one last time.

"You hate me that much to push me into marriage at my age?" I asked, trembling.

His response came sharp and cold. "Yes. Be grateful I'm setting you free from me. Don't question my decision."

Tears filled my eyes, but I held them back.

He hated me. His wife hated me. His daughter, my stepsister, despised me. What was left for me here? Nothing. No reason to stay. No reason to fight.

"Is she not ready?" my stepmother's shrill voice called from the hallway.

"She's ready," the dresser answered.

Together, we left the room.

As we passed my stepmother, she leaned in and hissed, "Now that you're leaving this house, don't ever come back. Die in your in-laws' house."

Her words should have cut deep, but instead they ignited a quiet flame inside me. I stared at her, saying nothing. She was lucky this wedding happened so quickly, or I would've given her a taste of her own venom.

With each click of my heels on the marble floor, I walked down the aisle like a queen in exile. The soft melody of the piano played in the background. The wedding hall was exquisite, decorated with lavish flowers, golden drapes, and crystal chandeliers casting soft, golden light over the polished floor. It was breathtaking, yet I felt numb, especially when I saw him standing at the altar.

Levander Smith,my soon to be husband.

He turned the moment he heard my footsteps, his hands buried in his pockets. He looked like he belonged on a magazine cover, tall, sculpted, dark-haired with sharp features that made him look almost unreal. The sight of him made my heart skip a beat despite my inner pain.

As I reached him, he stretched out his hand.

Hesitantly, I placed mine in his.

From the corner of my eye, I saw my stepmother smiling wickedly. She was pleased. She thought she had won. Now that I was gone, everything, especially the family fortune,would belong to her daughter.

I met her gaze. I smiled. Revenge was an understatement. I was going to ruin her. One day, when I finally have the power, I'd come back for everything she took from me.

But will I even come back to this cruel place? I shrugged inwardly. No I don't think so, because I wouldn't even think about them.

When it came time to exchange rings, I stared into Levander's eyes. It was the first time I saw him this close. He was...perfect. Too perfect. And yet, there was something behind those eyes. Something dark.

"Now, Lorraina Blackwood, do you take Levander Smith as your lawfully wedded husband?" the priest asked.

I looked at my father. He was unbothered, seated casually, as if I was a pawn he had just moved on a chessboard. His eyes warned me not to say no.

I wanted to scream. I wanted to defy him, ruin the day he thought he'd win. But then I thought about the beatings. The starvation. The loneliness. This marriage might be the only escape I would ever get.

So I said it.

"Yes, I do," I declared, loud enough for everyone to hear. Applause filled the hall.

"And you, Levander Smith," the priest turned to him, "do you take Lorraina Blackwood as your lawfully wedded wife?"

Levander stared at me, and I felt it,that piercing glare. It was like his eyes saw right through me, like they could reach into my soul and tear it apart.

"Yes, I do," he replied, his voice cold...dark... dangerous.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the-"

The priest didn't even finish when Levander pulled me sharply into his arms. He crushed his lips against mine in a possessive, punishing kiss. His hand tilted my chin upward, and without hesitation, he forced his tongue into my mouth.

I opened up, shockingly...and kissed him back.

Gasps echoed in the hall. Cameras flashed furiously. My stepmother's jaw dropped. My stepsister scoffed,always jealous, always bitter.

He finally broke the kiss, leaving me breathless, still locked in his arms. He leaned in and whispered something that chilled me to the bone.

"Wifey,this kiss marks the beginning of your ruination. I will destroy you. And through you, your father will pay for every single sin."

My heart thudded in fear. This wasn't just a wedding. This was a trap. And I had just walked into it wearing white.

The guests erupted into applause, unaware of the sinister undertones in Levander's words.

As we walked back down the aisle, his grip on my hand tightened, sending a shiver down my spine.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

The Billionaire's Blind Bride: No Mercy

Emma

I married Clive Harrington, the coldest billionaire in Manhattan, under a strict contract that forbade any emotional burdens. When I needed a high-risk surgery to save my sight, I checked into the clinic alone, hiding the procedure from a husband who saw me as nothing more than a legal asset. I thought I could handle the darkness in silence. But while I was blind and bandaged in my hospital bed, my biological mother called, screaming that if I didn't produce a Harrington heir by the end of the fiscal year, she would cut off the life-saving treatments for my disabled sister. I was crawling on the cold hospital floor, desperately feeling for a cane I had dropped, when I touched a pair of expensive leather shoes. It was Clive. He was supposed to be in London closing a multi-million dollar deal, but there he was, watching his "contract wife" groveling in the dark like a beggar. He didn't walk away in disgust. He carried me to a five-thousand-dollar-a-night VIP suite and sat by my bed, listening in chilling silence as another voicemail from my mother filled the room, calling me a "useless broodmare" who was only worth the trust fund disbursements my marriage secured. I expected him to remind me of Clause 34B or hand me divorce papers now that I was "damaged goods." Instead, I felt his thumb brush a stray tear from my cheek, his presence shifting from a statue of ice into a predatory shield. "I thought I was just currency to you," I whispered, my voice trembling behind the gauze. "Just an investment." Clive didn't answer with words. He picked up his phone and called his head of legal with a single, terrifying command: "Kill the Douglas family’s credit lines. Every debt, every lien—trigger them all. If they want a war, I’ll give them a massacre." As he leaned down to kiss my bandaged forehead, I realized the contract was dead. My husband wasn't protecting an asset anymore; he was hunting the people who had dared to touch what belonged to him.
