Chapter 2

I struggled to open my eyes, each breath causing a sharp pain in my right side. The blood-soaked bandages clung to my wound, and any movement sent a searing agony through me. Time seemed to crawl, but neither Calvin nor my father returned.

Late into the night, the door hinges creaked as someone gently pushed open the door to my hospital room. Yara Tucker entered cautiously and, upon seeing me, tears filled her eyes. "Miss Emory..."

She pulled a thermos from under her coat and helped me sit up against the headboard. "How can they leave you all alone, with your wound getting infected..."

She turned away to wipe her tears. I parted my cracked lips, my throat burning. "Yara, please... don't cry."

She spun around quickly, her hands trembling as she opened the thermos and ladled out some steaming chicken soup. "Don't talk, Miss Emory, just eat something."

She blew on the soup to cool it and brought it to my lips. Seeing my difficulty swallowing, she dabbed the corners of my mouth with a handkerchief, her voice quivering: "Calvin, that heartless man, is marrying Teresa in three days. Everyone's saying..."

Her voice faltered, and it took a moment before she continued. "He's spreading lies about you being unfaithful, entangled with several men, and that’s why someone powerful abducted you at his wedding to steal your kidney..."

Calvin concocted countless vile rumors, painting me as deserving of disgrace. Those who once blessed our union now reviled my alleged "scandal."

"Come with me!" Yara suddenly grabbed my hand. "I've saved up some money. You can come back to my hometown with me, away from these monsters."

I shook my head. "There's no escaping this. You should go. If they find you, they won't let you off."

The pain intensified, and darkness clouded my vision. In my final moments of consciousness, Yara clung tightly to my hand, refusing to let go.

When I opened my eyes again, the morning light streamed through the window. Calvin stood at my bedside.

"Awake?" he asked.

He reached out to touch my face, but I turned away. His hand hovered awkwardly before he pulled back, frowning.

"Emory, Teresa isn't doing well. Her only wish is to wear a wedding dress. I want to marry her to fulfill that wish."

"You know that if it weren't for her asking her mother to take me in all those years ago, I would have starved on the streets. I'm just trying to repay her kindness. You understand, right?"

I stared at his deceitful face, the pain in my wound intense, yet not as piercing as the ache in my heart.

"So you took my kidney, ruined my reputation?"

"I gave you everything—my love, my savings. And this is how you repay me?"

Bound To The Ruthless Wall Street Butcher

8.2

I was trapped in a velvet booth at Le Bernardin, Arthur Sterling’s hand crawling up my knee as he whispered that my father would be in handcuffs by morning if I didn't spend the night with him. Desperate to escape, I lunged at the only man more dangerous than Arthur—Gunnar Kirk, the "Butcher of Wall Street"—and kissed him in front of every camera in the room, thinking I was choosing the lesser of two evils. I was wrong; Gunnar didn't just play along, he took possession, forcing me into a cold-blooded contract to be his fake fiancée to save his corporate image from an SEC investigation. While my greedy stepmother and sister were busy fighting over the diamonds he sent, I was living in terror, trying to hide the one thing that truly mattered: my infant son, hidden away with a nanny in a cramped Queens apartment. When my baby suffered a febrile seizure and I rushed to the ER, I looked up to see Gunnar standing in the doorway, his glacial eyes boring into me as he realized the "ruined" socialite was hiding a child from her past. I tried to sabotage the wedding, setting up my fame-hungry stepsister as a decoy bride so I could flee to Switzerland with my son, but Gunnar caught me on the fire escape before I could take a single step toward freedom. He threw me over his shoulder like a sack of flour and told me that if I didn't walk down that aisle, he would personally ensure my father rotted in prison. We stood at the altar and exchanged vows in a ceremony built on blackmail and lies, but as we walked out as husband and wife, Gunnar didn't look at me with affection; he turned to his assistant and ordered a total deep dive into the medical records I had spent a year trying to erase. "Find out exactly what happened during those nine months in Switzerland, and tell me who that baby really belongs to."

Heiress Betrayed: My Sweet Revenge Wedding

7.5

For seven years, I hid my identity as a wealthy heiress to be with my boyfriend, Ewing. I followed him across the country and made myself small so he could feel big. On Thanksgiving, he ditched our celebration for his first love, Bree, who supposedly had a "burst pipe." Later, she posted an intimate selfie with him, calling him her "hero." Then she sent me a video of him at a bar, laughing with his friends. "She's just being dramatic," he slurred, smirking at the camera. "A new necklace and she'll forget all about it. She's easy." Easy. Seven years of my life, my love, my sacrifice-all reduced to that one word. I realized I was never his partner. I was just a placeholder. I didn't cry. I packed my bags, booked a one-way flight to New York, and sent him one final text before blocking his number. "Don't bother coming home. I'm getting married."

Melting His Iced Heart

The sound of loud slapping windows jolted her from her sleep. She carefully got down from the bed, walking towards the window to shut it closed. She froze instantly, turning cold with fear at the familiar figure standing right outside her window. She staggered backwards. "No," she shook her head in disbelief, but that didn't stop him from jumping through her window. She ran for the door, desperately trying to unlock it, but it wasn't even budging. Her heart raced in her chest, her palms clammy, and then she felt his large presence behind her, slamming his hand on the door right beside her head. She slowly turned to find those cold gray eyes staring at her. She trembled. "H-how did you f-find me?" A sinister smirk suddenly appeared on his lips, his eyes shining with an evil glint. "Didn't I tell you, Lilian? You run, I chase." His hand shot to her throat, his thumb caressing it gently, and then he covered the distance between them, leaning in for his hot breath to fan her neck. His hand held her small waist, pulling her impossibly closer to himself. "Now you must be punished, princess." In a bid to escape her cold husband and her cruel family, Lilian finds herself in an even more dangerous situation that either mends or breaks her.
