Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch-a titan of industry and my best friend's father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

In her snow-white dress, Sophie Nelson stood by the window and watched the other woman in front of her smile oddly. The woman said to Sophie without making a sound, "You're no match for me."

A nightmare then ensued for Sophie as the woman leaped from the window.

It was supposed to be Sophie's engagement day, but she had been framed up as a criminal.

Sophie's fiancé held the woman, who had fallen in a pool of blood, in his arms and cried out, vowing to avenge her.

The Nelson Family, as a result of this incident, kicked Sophie out of the house and decisively cut off all ties with her.

The court sentenced Sophie to eight years in prison, which meant that she would spend the best years of her life behind bars.

What awaited her in the future was endless darkness.

The icy sensation spread through Sophie's limbs, which made her shivered all over.

She snapped awake.

"Are you going to sleep in the bathtub all night?"

The male's deep voice was slightly teasing and full of impatience.

The handsome, firm-featured man had his hands clasped around his chest as if proclaiming his position as the master.

"I accidentally fell asleep," Sophie replied in an emotionless tone, involuntarily lowering her eyes.

The man was well-shaped and muscular, wearing only a towel that barely covered his lower body.

His skin was fine-tanned, and his muscles were tight and undulating, but not exaggerated, in just the right way.

Sophie dropped her head, nervously, "I'll be right there."

"I don't have time to wait for you!" the man said as he bent down to lift Sophie out of the tub. But the moment he touched her, he almost threw her out. "Damn it!"

The water in the bathtub had long since gone cold, also causing the woman's body to freeze.

The man could not help but burst out cursing, then fetched a dry towel and quickly cleaned her off before carrying her into the bedroom with broad steps and tossing her onto the king-size white bed. "Get under the covers and warm up your body."

Sophie felt dizzy from being dropped on the bed.

Seeing that she was not moving, the man said impatiently, "Hurry up! You're cold as an ice sculpture now. How do you want me to make love to you? I don't want to rape a corpse."

Sophie was speechless.
