Unpredictable Love

The Placeholder Bride's Secret Billionaire Revenge

Luo Ye

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran's "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father's multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city's most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins-the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street-and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

Inside Nest hotel…………

Amelia was stunned the moment she woke up and found herself in an unfamiliar room. As if that wasn't enough she was naked lying beside a stranger. What really happened,what is she doing here?. She tried remembering about last night but it seems as if her brain has been washed off. All she could remember was that she was with her step sister Charlotte and her boyfriend Oscar at a birthday party. Oscar, her childhood sweetheart/boyfriend, invited her and Charlotte to one of his friends' birthday party. At the party Oscar forced her into drinking a lot of wine and she later ended up being drunk, that was the only thing she could remember, how she got to the room is what she can't explain.

Tears roll from her eyes,how is she going to explain to her fiance that she is no longer a virgin, What will he think of her?.

She looked at the man lying beside her,he was still Sleeping, with wasting any more time. Amelia quickly got out of the bed to tidy up.

Her red gown was torn to shreds,so she could only pick up the man's shirt,without thinking twice she picked up the shirt and put it on,and quickly ran to the door but suddenly stopped and turn back to look at the stranger,she wanted to see his face but unfortunately he is facing the other side. She hurries out but plans to return to the hotel to check the camera to find out who this bastard is.

===At Miller mansion===

A black taxi stopped in front of the mansion. Amelia hurried out of the taxi.

"Madam, your change" the driver shouted from the car.

"you can keep the change" Amelia murmured and hurried inside,her whole body trembling in fear. She wished the floor could open and swallow her.

The servant wasn't helping the matter,they were all staring at her like someone who is carrying a disgusting thing on her face.

"Why is young Miss Amelia wearing guy clothes?". One of the maids whispered to the other maid but it was clear to the ear.

Amelia ignores them and continues walking towards the building, all she needs right now is to find her sister Charlotte to ask her if she has any idea on how she gets to that hotel room, that is the thing in her mind right now,she need an explanation.

She walked to the entrance with her trembling body, took a heavy breath before opening the door but suddenly stopped, when she heard a familiar voice.

"Oscar, I can't wait to give birth to our baby" said a voice from inside the house.

Amelia was lost, isn't that Charlotte her step sister's voice. What's going on?, and what baby is she talking about?. She was till lost in her though when another familiar voice from inside was heard

"And i can't wait to put diamond ring on this your petty finger"

That was Oscar,her fiance's voice, what is really going on?. Different questions keep running in her mind but no answer. Amelia gathered courage and entered inside.
