Chapter 2

I lowered my eyes and gave a slight smile.

"Jayden, thank you for arranging for Joel to pick me up at the airport."

"Lilah?"

"I came today because I want to return this to you."

I pulled a small box from my coat pocket and held it out to him. It was a necklace from a high-end brand, the only birthday gift Jayden had ever given me. I had treasured it, wearing it only on my birthdays. But now, I no longer wanted it.

Jayden didn’t reach for it, staying seated with a stony expression, his lips pressed into a thin line. After a moment of hesitation, I placed the box on the table next to him.

"Lilah, your hand..."

The girl closest to me gasped softly, her concern clear in her voice. Jayden’s attention was immediately drawn to my hand. It was covered with cracked skin. Once delicate fingers were now marked by blisters that had hardened into rough scabs, twisted and unpleasant to look at.

I quickly tucked my hand back into the sleeve of my sweater and looked up at Jayden again.

"Jayden, there’s one last thing I wanted to talk about today."

"What is it?" His voice was icy, slicing through the air.

"I must have been a burden to you all these years."

I gave him a regretful smile.

"In the past, I was immature and stubborn. I'm sorry for that."

"It won’t happen again."

With that, I didn't stay any longer and turned to leave. Just as I was crossing the threshold, Jayden called out to me.

"Lilah."

"You better mean it this time. No more false promises."

I paused for a moment but didn't look back.

"Alright."

Bankrupt Socialite: The Billionaire's Revenge Bride Novel Cover
7.4
I was the bankrupt socialite everyone pitied, standing in the mud at my mother's grave with nothing left but a pair of old Louboutins and a single white rose. My bank account was overdrawn by three hundred dollars, but I still believed Julian, my fiancé, was the one person who hadn't abandoned the toxic Compton name. Then I saw his Maybach shaking in the cemetery parking lot. Through a crack in the window, I heard the man I loved whispering to my stepsister, Tiffany. "Don't worry about the broke princess. Once I secure her voting proxy for the trust, I'm dumping her." Tiffany laughed, clutching the scarlet coat she'd charged to my own maxed-out credit card. "She's so pathetic, Julian. She actually thinks you love her." I didn't scream; I recorded them. But when I tried to use that leverage, my family turned into vipers. To protect Julian's status, they framed me for causing Tiffany to miscarry a fake pregnancy and planted stolen documents in my bag. My own father stood by as they locked me in a room, planning to sell me to a predatory creditor named Hightower to settle his gambling debts. I ended up in a freezing police cell, my ankle shattered and my reputation destroyed. I sat on that metal bench, shivering as I realized my own blood had traded my life for a check. I called the only man powerful enough to burn them all-Julian's uncle, the "Butcher of Wall Street," Alden Stark. The phone just kept ringing. He wasn't coming. To the world, I was just a walking bankruptcy filing, a girl who had finally run out of luck. I didn't wait for a savior. I escaped custody and ran barefoot through the rain, leaving a trail of blood on the marble floor of Stark Tower. When I collapsed at Alden's feet, he didn't look at me with pity; he looked at me like a rare, damaged artifact he finally owned. "Inform the board that this is my fiancée," he announced, lifting me into his arms. I signed the marriage contract that night, trading my freedom for the power to ensure my family's liabilities exceeded their assets for the rest of their natural lives.
