The Jilted Heiress And Her Billionaire Protector

Mi Lu Billionaires

“I was forced to sign my life away to Jaxson Wilson, a ruthless Wall Street predator, just to save my family's failing company. But the moment the ink dried on our marriage certificate, my family showed their true colors. My cousin tried to physically attack me out of pure jealousy, and my grandfather weaponized my dead parents' tragic accident just to ensure my absolute obedience. Suffering a severe panic attack, I packed my bags and fled the toxic estate. I expected to be tossed into a cold, empty penthouse by my new billionaire husband. After all, this was just a corporate merger, and I was nothing but a tool to stabilize his stock. Yet, everything Jaxson did completely shattered my expectations. He didn't neglect me. He personally designed a breathtaking mansion tailored to my habits. When I cooked cheap pasta in the middle of the night, the billionaire CEO rolled up his sleeves to wash my dishes. When a speeding truck nearly hit me, he risked his own life to pull me back, his eyes dark with a terrifying, raw panic. I couldn't understand it. Why was this cold, untouchable man treating a fake, transactional wife with such intense, suffocating protection? "It doesn't matter if my family likes you. You married me. Not them." Looking at the multi-million dollar diamonds he had just fastened around my neck, my fear finally evaporated. If my family wanted to throw me to the wolves, I would gladly become the alpha's wife and make them regret it.”
