Chapter 6

The day I sold the house, I received a call from Selah Martin.

"Lilah, I've decided to say yes to Jayden's proposal."

"Congratulations to both of you."

"I hope you can come to the engagement party, can you make it?"

"I'm sorry."

"You're not over it yet, Lilah?" Selah's voice was gentle, almost pitying. "Some things just aren't meant to be."

"But you know, you're wiser now than you were before. You know when to push forward and when to hold back."

"Still, Lilah, it's pointless. Jayden only listens to me; he's always had eyes only for me."

"See, with just one word from me, he left you behind."

"Selah, what's your point?"

There was a brief pause on the line.

"Lilah Rivera, I've decided to come back, so I wanted to make it clear to you—stop holding onto Jayden."

"Have I been holding on?"

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to."

"You love him so much, there's no way you'd let go, especially now that your family's bankrupt!"

"If he truly has eyes only for you, only listens to you, then what are you afraid of?"

Selah stayed silent for a long moment, so I hung up.

A few seconds later, I got a voice message. Jayden's voice came through, laid-back and dismissive: "Finally got rid of that clingy nuisance."

"I've never felt so free in my life."

"Congrats, Mr. Lewis, on getting your freedom back, haha."

I chuckled, turned off my phone, and moved on.

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.
