Chapter 2

Just as we were about to part ways, Miles called out to me.

"Adelyn, I hope you can move out soon. If you hang around, I'll have nowhere to turn for support."

The wheelchair came to a sudden halt, its wheels screeching against the rough pavement, like the sound of a heart being torn apart.

"Fine," I replied coolly.

With Theo's help, I got into the car and urged the driver to take me to the home that once belonged to both of us, arriving before Miles. The housekeeping staff was already waiting by the door.

I didn't need Miles to tell me to leave; I would have done so anyway. Every second in his presence felt stifling.

Under my direction, my belongings were packed quickly. Just a few clothes, some jewelry, and the items I brought before the marriage. Anything connected to Miles from after our wedding, I had no interest in taking with me.

When Miles returned home, most of the packing was done. His face was unreadable as he stared intently at the boxes, as if I had taken some treasure from him.

Ignoring his scrutinizing gaze, I instructed someone to take down the painting hanging in the living room.

"What are you doing? Who gave you permission to touch that painting? Leave it alone!" Miles shouted, trying to intervene, his anger unmistakable.

Watching him nearly jump out of his seat in rage, my heart sank further. I no longer recognized the man before me.

"My parents gave me this painting for my birthday before we got married. It’s part of my personal property. Why shouldn’t I be allowed to take it?" I said, maintaining my composure and meeting his eyes.

The painting was bought at an auction by my parents, valued at over half a million dollars. Once Miles discovered its worth, he insisted it be displayed prominently. Whenever we had guests, he made sure to brag about it. He probably never expected I would take it, which is why he was so furious.

With nothing left to say, Miles could only lash out. "A month to cool off. Don’t come back crying and begging."

I didn't bother responding, simply walking away with my head held high.

Beg him? Absurd. I only hope he won't be the one coming to me in tears.

I stood in the shadows of the hospital, watching my wife kiss another man while my grandmother lay dying upstairs. Just minutes ago, Erlene had snapped at me over the phone, calling me a "needy child" and claiming she was stuck at a business meeting across town. Now, she was stepping out of a red Porsche in a designer dress, wrapped in the arms of Andrew Hanson, the man who was supposed to be her "sick friend." "I'm not going up," Erlene said coldly when I confronted her in the rain. "I don't like watching people die. It's depressing. Tell her I came by." She looked at my soaked, cheap hoodie and my scuffed sneakers with pure disgust before turning her back on me to return to her lover’s side. I had to go back to the ICU alone and lie to my grandmother with her final breath, telling her Erlene was waiting just outside the door. As the heart monitor flatlined at 2:14 AM, my phone buzzed with a call from my mother-in-law, who screamed that I was a "worthless loser" and demanded I sign divorce papers immediately so her daughter could finally be with a "real man." For three years, I lived as a ghost, a poor driver who endured their insults and hid my true identity just to have a simple life with the woman I loved. I sacrificed my future for a family that treated me like a stray dog, only for them to spit on me while I held my grandmother’s cold hand. Why did I stay in the shadows for so long? Why did I let these people believe they could crush me under their expensive heels? I walked out of that hospital and threw my thick, black glasses onto the wet asphalt, watching a delivery truck grind them into dust. I didn't need the disguise anymore. I drove my rusted Honda to the towering iron gates of the George Estate, where the security team dropped their batons and snapped into a terrified salute. My father was waiting on the marble steps, but I wasn't there for a peaceful reunion. I was there to reclaim my inheritance and make sure Erlene realized exactly what she had thrown away.

The whispers in the pews were deafening, but they were nothing compared to the truth I soon uncovered.

Days later, while I was shivering in the ER with a 103-degree fever, I saw Cooper sneaking into the VIP maternity ward.

The Billionaire's Medicine: His Silent Obsession Novel Cover
8.7
My stepmother sold me like a piece of inventory to a man known for breaking people just to plug the financial crater my father left behind. I was delivered to the Morton estate in the middle of a freezing storm, stripped of my phone, and told that if I didn't make myself useful, my senile grandfather would be evicted from his care facility by noon. The master of the house, Adonis Morton IV, was a monster living in a silent mausoleum, driven to the brink of madness by a sensory condition that turned every sound into a physical assault. When I was forced into his suite to serve him, he didn't see a human being; he saw a source of agony. In a fit of animalistic rage, he pinned me to the wall and nearly strangled me to death just for the sound of a shattering teacup. I only survived by using my grandfather’s secret herbal blends and pressure-point therapy to force his overactive nervous system into a drugged sleep. But saving him was my greatest mistake. Instead of letting me go, Adonis moved me into a guest suite connected to his own bedroom by a hidden door. He didn't just want me as a servant; he needed me as a human white-noise machine to drown out the demons in his head. The nightmare deepened when he took the promissory note that defined my freedom and tore it into confetti. By destroying the debt, he destroyed my exit strategy. He replaced my maid’s uniform with a silver silk dress that clung to my skin but did nothing to hide the dark, ugly bruises his fingers had left on my neck. He branded me as his "primary care associate," a title that was nothing more than a gilded cage. I felt a sickening sense of injustice as he forced me to sign a contract that banned me from contacting other men and required me to sleep wherever he slept. He looked at me with a possessive heat, calling me his "medication" rather than a woman. My family had sold my body, but Adonis Morton was intent on owning my very presence, using my grandfather’s medical bills as a leash to keep me within twenty feet of him at all times. Standing in a neglected greenhouse with mud staining my expensive silk, I realized I was no longer a victim waiting for rescue. If I was going to be his medication, I would learn how to be his cure—or his undoing. I began clearing the weeds with a cold, calculated frenzy, determined to turn this prison into my laboratory. He thinks he has trapped a helpless girl, but I am going to pry open the cracks in his stone walls until his entire world comes crashing down.
