In a strange country and on the edge of hopelessness, the trapped young woman was swept up in a theatrical rescue by a rich, ruthless man. He dropped twenty billion to pry her from a devil's grip, kept her near like a prized little pet, and even gave her the name Malinda. To everyone else, Malinda looked savage and merciless, her name alone making people flinch. Yet to Charlie, she was a fragile, sweet thing he adored. When her real identities surfaced, they learned she was a miracle healer, an elite assassin, and heir to a shadowed clan. The onlookers shuddered. Fragile and sweet? For real?

Chapter 1 Mysterious Girl

Hidden away on a secluded island, the underground auction house glittered brightly, its glow stretching across the endless ocean that shut out the rest of the world.

This wasn't just any auction house. Only the rarest artifacts and the most unusual living creatures ever made it to its stage.

People whispered that as long as your money was right, there was almost nothing you couldn't buy here-not even life was off-limits if you were rich enough.

Tonight, the energy in the hall soared to its peak.

"For our last item, we present the star of tonight's event. A blood slave. Bidding begins at one hundred million dollars!"

The auctioneer's voice drew gasps and murmurs from the crowd.

"A blood slave? So basically just a slave. Who would even want that?"

"Is that really the big surprise? I expected something that would actually blow my mind. This just feels like a trick to keep us interested."

With the audience growing restless, a massive cage cloaked in black velvet dropped slowly from above, settling in the center of the stage.

The host swept the cover aside, and everyone stared at the young woman inside, half-leaning against the bars.

Blinding lights forced her to narrow her eyes. She looked so delicate, barely concealed under sheer white fabric that traced every elegant line of her body. Her dark hair fanned out around her, so long and thick it made her pale skin seem to glow even more, almost as if she was something otherworldly.

Shock rippled through the room. The sight was unreal. Nobody expected someone so breathtaking to be put on display like this-a blood slave, offered up just to entertain the highest bidder.

Excitement pulsed through some, while others couldn't hide their skepticism, whispering doubts to those around them.

Raising his voice, the auctioneer addressed the crowd, saying, "By the authority of Heaven Island, I assure you, there's no one else like her anywhere on earth. She's the only living pharmaceutical miracle. Her blood cancels out every known toxin, her wounds heal in a blink, and anyone who possesses her can extend their life far beyond what's natural!"

As these words rang out, the crowd erupted. The promise of healing any poison and holding the key to long life was enough to stir a frenzy.

"If she's as amazing as you say, then prove it! I won't buy the story unless I see it myself!"

Offering a practiced smile, the auctioneer snapped his fingers.

In the luxury seats on the eastern side, a loud thump interrupted the tension. All eyes shot over to see Brice Mills, Elesron's celebrated tech genius, collapsed in agony on the carpet. His skin was the color of chalk, and blood-tinged saliva glistened at the corner of his mouth.

His physician scrambled with trembling hands, rifling through a medical kit, searching for answers and coming up empty.

With a glint in his eye, the auctioneer gave a subtle nod. On cue, an assistant pressed a button, causing a slender, clear tube to glide toward the woman's neck from inside the cage.

She flinched as the cold needle broke her skin, but there was no fight left in her. It looked like she'd grown used to the pain.

A moment later, 30 milliliters of her vibrant blood filled a crystal vial and was hurriedly administered to Brice using a specially designed dropper. The transformation was immediate. Warmth rushed back into his limbs, his ghastly pallor faded, and his blank stare sharpened with awareness.

Brice hacked up a chunk of thick, black mucus, then drew in a breath like someone finally breaking free of drowning.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you've just witnessed a bonus feature. The real treasure here is her gift of longevity!" With that, the auctioneer commanded the room once more, every eye fixed on the miraculous scene unfolding before them.

As the last echoes of the auctioneer's words faded, a velvet curtain swept aside next to the stage. An attendant wheeled out an old woman, barely hanging on to life. Her heart monitor flickered at a weak thirty-eight beats per minute, every pulse a struggle.

With a silent nod exchanged between them, the auctioneer stepped forward and injected the remaining blood directly into the frail woman's vein.

Suddenly, the heart monitor shrieked. But instead of signaling the end, her heart rate rocketed to 68, and her oxygen levels leapt from 40% to 80%.

Slowly, the elderly woman blinked awake. Her lips trembled as she spoke in a wavering but clear voice. "Is this heaven? Have you come to take me away, angel?"

A hush settled, only to explode moments later as chaos swept the auction hall. The auctioneer gripped the microphone and exclaimed, "Let's start the bidding!"

Numbers shot up, climbing from the initial hundred million all the way to five billion in a matter of breaths.

Above the chaos, in a private suite on the second floor, Charlie Ford reclined on a dark leather sofa. His long fingers drummed a measured rhythm on the polished table.

Everything about him looked severe-each line of his face cut with precision, his presence cold and imposing.

Without a flicker of emotion, Charlie fixed his gaze on the woman below. She hadn't moved, not even after all that blood was taken. The commotion meant nothing to her, and Charlie's brow tightened in quiet contemplation.

Preston Kirk, standing behind him, leaned close and whispered, "Mr. Ford, the antique we bought is packed up. We can leave whenever you're ready."

Charlie offered no reply.

Watching his boss remain transfixed on the stage, Preston tried again. "Should we place a bid? Maybe she's the answer your brother needs..."

Charlie scoffed, waving the suggestion away as he rose to his full height and turned for the door, making it clear he wanted nothing more to do with the spectacle.

"A useless trinket. Nothing more than a toy for people with too much time and money," he said, his tone flat and dismissive.

Preston rushed after him, finally understanding how foolish he'd been. Charlie had never shown interest in women. He hadn't even kept female pets. Expecting him to care about a woman who had probably been shaped and broken by countless hands was absurd. Her beauty meant nothing in Charlie's world.

Back in the hall, the bidding war raged until the numbers shot past ten billion.

Once the gavel hit the podium, the auction was over.

The winning bidder was an older man with a round belly and a booming voice, and he could barely hold back his excitement. He demanded that they unlock the cage at once so everyone could see what real money looked like, and he grinned broadly as he made himself the center of attention.

Flashy demands like his weren't rare at these events, and since the tycoon had just spent a fortune, the auctioneer quickly bent down to unfasten the lock.

As soon as the cage door swung wide, the woman's eyes flashed open, sharp and alert.

Gone was the timid posture; she moved with sudden energy and sharp intelligence. With a mischievous smirk, she puckered her lips and sent the tycoon a playful kiss, catching him completely off guard.

In one fluid motion, she leaped to her feet, tossed the black cloth straight over the auctioneer's face, and shot off the stage before anyone could react.

The staff stood in stunned silence, not even able to process her escape before she had already vanished into the crowd.

A glimmer of silver danced in her hand, and with a flick of her wrist, needles sped through the air. Each one found its mark, dropping the bodyguards in her path like toppled statues.

Within moments, the auction house erupted into chaos. Screams filled the hall as guests bolted for the exits, panic shoving aside all traces of order and luxury.

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."
