Bound To The Ruthless Billionaire CEO

“I thought marrying the wealthy Julian Sterling would finally free me from my abusive family. But the morning after my bachelorette party, my future mother-in-law spotted a brutal hickey on my neck, tore up our wedding invitations, and threw me out onto the streets. My own family didn't care that I was drugged and set up by my cousin. They locked me in a dusty attic to starve, planning to sell me to a creepy older man to save their failing business. I escaped into a stormy night and collapsed, only to wake up in a luxurious hospital suite. The billionaire who "rescued" me was Ballard Stark-the very stranger who had ruined my innocence that night. He coldly handed me a medical report showing I was four weeks pregnant with his heir. "From now on, you, and it, belong to me." I screamed that I would get rid of it and run, but he effortlessly blocked my escape. He threatened to send the elderly housekeeper who helped me to prison and destroy what was left of my family. In a blind panic, I smashed a porcelain vase, only for him to casually inform me it was a Ming Dynasty antique worth thirty million dollars. I was completely trapped, reduced to a vessel for a ruthless predator just to pay off an impossible debt. But as he pushed the custody contract across the desk, my suffocating despair suddenly turned into a burning rage. Since he wanted to chain me to his life so badly, I would make sure this gilded cage became his worst nightmare.”
