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.

The fog around Aria grew stronger as she went deeper into the forest, her hands over her head as she tried to see but the mist only got thicker and the wind,heavier.

"Is anyone there?" she called out loudly pushing forward as the wind increased and blew heavily towards her. It felt like it was stopping her from going forward.

But she only kept moving. Wanting to see what was at the end.

"Your place isn't here child, leave." She heard a voice say as the fog cleared slowly. She squinted her eyes to see a woman with a fur coat holding a lantern in her hand.

"Why do you keep bringing me here?" Aria asked with a loud voice and the ground under her feet rumbled.

"Leave!" the lady said and vanished, Aria looked around trying to find her way back but the fog grew closer to her until it consumed her sight and she saw nothing else.

She jolted from the bed with a loud gasp as her eyes snapped open blinking with shock.

"Gosh." She groaned lowly running her hand through her hair and sighed.

"A nightmare?"

She nodded slowly and looked up to see her best friend Lynn seated beside her.

"The usual ones or another scary one, you know what don't tell me, you need to get up and get ready,the moonlight ceremony begins at noon." Lynn said excitement behind her tone as she stood and pulled Aria with her.

"That's today?!" Aria asked in disbelief and Lynn breathed out shaking her head in dismay.

"Check your calendar fool, we get to meet the Alpha's tonight, we're not missing it so get ready on time please!" Lynn muttered and Aria rolled her eyes.

She was never excited for things that concerned her pack because she knew she would always be forgotten once the real Wolf fun started.

"Alright I'll get ready, go now." she said drawing a wide smile on her lips to satisfy Lynn.

"Good girl, I'll be back by four okay?" Lynn said as she turned and left the room. Aria exhaled slumped in her bed once more and took in deep breaths.

Her mind spiralled back to Lynn's words and her gut twisted just by the thought of seeing the faces of people who disregarded her every single day.

She took a deep breath and found her feet heading towards the bathroom to wash off the creepy feeling she had from her nightmare.

Lynn wouldn't stop grinning beside Aria as her eyes did a marathon on every male wolf in the Hall While Aria remained composed trying to avoid the preying eyes of the people.

She couldn't help but feel out of place with the disgusting look and murmurs they kept sending her way. Being the only omega present among Alphas and Betas really stirred up words amidst the crowd.

"The moon goodness will never accept her essence. She's powerless, what can she give her mate?" She heard some ladies murmur behind her and her heart arched.

It came from all Angles and just Once, Once she hoped to be seen as a Fragile Orphan girl who was still healing from the loss of both her parents than a powerless Omega who couldn't contribute to the fulfilment of a ceremony.
