Dumped And Accidentally Married A Billionaire Chapter 1
Chapter One
Dumped and married.
I was already at the court where David and I would be getting married. It has been an hour and I haven't seen any sign of David yet.
I wondered what must have been holding him back as I picked up my phone to call him.
He didn't pick up after calling him several times. My whole body trembled with intense worry.
Where did he keep his phone?
Where was he at the moment? A thousand and one thoughts continue to run through my mind.
I tried my best to remain composed although I was already losing my temper.
The magistrate was already asking me to come in with my partner who is nowhere to be found when my phone rang.
I sighed with relief ready to give David a piece of my mind for doing this to me.
Today of all days. Our special day.
The word he spoke next shattered my heart into a million pieces.
“Diana…I can't be with you anymore…I have found someone else who I really love”,
“Go home, I will come and meet you later”, he voiced out with little or no concern in his voice.
I rolled my eyes in disbelief, very sure David was playing a prank on me and I wasn't in the mood to play.
“Be fast..or we are going to be replaced”, I responded ignoring the word he spoke to me.
“I am serious Diana..I am about to board a flight to Dubai..I am starting a new life there with Ophelia”, he added.
“What do you mean by that?”I asked oblivious of the fact that I have been arguing in the courtyard for over ten minutes now.
Today was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. David was supposed to meet me up at ten-thirty to have our wedding.
“David…it's getting late please come”, my voice pleading.
“Diana…it seemed like you don’t understand what I just said, I…I am not coming”, David said.
I felt tears streamed down my eyes uncontrollably ruining the makeup in my eyes.
“I…I don't think I love you so much to want to get married to you and live in the same house with you”, my heart sank.
I have been suspecting David to be cheating on me but the love I had for him was so strong that I pretended and when he asked to marry him I couldn't deny the joy I felt to finally be chosen by him.
“David…I love you so much…we can make this work just come let's get married… please…I am waiting for you”, I begged.
He ended the call without giving me a warning leaving me wallowing in self-pity.
He knew my dream of getting married and still chose to shatter them into pieces.
I didn't know which hurt the most. David left me to be with another woman who happened to be my best friend.
Foolish me!..I thought we were building a future together. What I didn't know was that David was pretending all along and stabbing me behind my back.
I tightened my fists into a fury as I picked up my phone to call my bank manager to freeze our joint account.
“I am so sorry Miss Diana..he has withdrew every single penny from the account”,
My head is spinning round, and round.
I wanted someone to wake me up from this bad dream I didn't sign up for.
I dialed his number again and realised it wasn't going through again. David had blocked my line.
I squatted right there in the courtyard. I didn't care if people were watching me. I just had my heart yanked out and broke into several tiny pieces.
I cried my eyes out and couldn't help but overhear a conversation of a man that was standing less than a foot away from me.
“Where is she?..I can't find any one here”, he voiced out
“Sorry sir..let me get in contact with you here”, his assistant voiced out.
“I don't have the whole day…I need the lady so I can get this over with”, he yelled.
“I won't be here if my grandfather hasn't insisted that I get married or else he won't let me have company”, he cursed.
“I am sorry sir”, someone spoke from the other end of the line.
He sighed deeply, muttering a few inaudible words to himself.
“I knew grandfather wanted to make sure the company was in safe hands before leaving this world but this disappointment wasn't what I signed up for”,
I guess in a bid to make him proud he had gone through an agency and hired a random lady who was to get married to him.
I sat down without saying anything.
She was nowhere to be found after collecting part-payment
“I thought you said she would be here on time”, he shouted at his assistant once more, getting impatient already.
“I am sorry sir, let me try and reach her again”, Brian said, cutting off the call.
“What a waste of my time”, he sighed out loud and annoyed.
The phone rang again. He picked it up.
“Her company is unable to get a hold of her”, his assistant responded.
“She is currently unreachable, why don't you come back let's reschedule with the company they will send us someone else”,
“I am not going to leave this place without a marriage certificate”, He replied.
He was not intentionally putting pressure on his assistant. He just needed the result immediately.
I stood up from where I was seated and was about to fall when the most handsome man I have ever seen in my life caught me in his arms.
“Be careful and watch where you are going young lady”, he said, pulling me away.
“I am sorry”, I whispered
My name was called again and since I didn't have any reason to be here.
I straightened myself properly and mustered the little courage in me.
“I will marry you”, I said.
“What?”
I looked at him and saw that he was totally shocked to hear it from me.
I barely knew this man and here I was agreeing to a marriage with him.
“You need a wife don't you”, I asked again.
“Yes I do” he replied and I could see that he felt that I was the answer to his long time prayers.
“I was dumped on my wedding day and overheard you talking of how you need a wife”, I replied not wanting to bore him with too many questions.
“Let's get married then”, he replied. “I am desperate in need of a wife and I don't want to be picky”,
I excused myself as I found the nearest restroom and went in to quickly clean my make-up which had been destroyed.
I have no tools to re-touch so wiping it off was the best thing for me to do.
I returned to find him still standing, looking strikingly handsome in his perfectly tailored suit.
My stomach fluttered with relief that I wasn't going to be marrying an eyesore.
I couldn't deny the fact that he was such an extremely handsome and gorgeous man especially with his eagle-like piercing eyes.
In fact I could tell he was far better-looking and richer than my ex. David.
I followed him as we both sat down facing the judge. Who didn't waste time as the marriage ceremony began.
The two witnesses stood behind us as the Judge was prepared to join us together.
The process was shorter than expected and soon I was legally married to a stranger.
“I now pronounce husband and wife”, he exclaimed.
I blinked multiple times. I could not believe that I just got married.
Under normal circumstances I was supposed to give my husband a big kiss on his lips.
Looking beside me at the stranger I couldn't believe he was now my husband.

I thought the Burch family gave me a loving home when they took me out of the orphanage.
But when the global deep freeze apocalypse hit, my adoptive parents mercilessly kicked me out of the bunker to freeze to death.
As I lay dying in the snow, covered in horrific purple frostbite, my adoptive sister Kendal walked past me in a pristine designer jacket.
Around her neck was my only childhood possession—an antique gold necklace my adoptive mother had ripped off my neck to give to her.
Kendal gloated, bragging that my pendant held a magical space with infinite supplies and fresh food while the rest of the world starved.
I realized I had spent years emptying my life savings to fund their luxury cars and fake medical emergencies.
They had drained my bank accounts, stolen my bloodline's heirloom, and used my magical lifeline to live like royalty while leaving me to die.
I took my last ragged breath in that blinding blizzard, consumed by a toxic hatred.
Why was I so hopelessly weak? Why did I let them take everything from me?
Opening my eyes again, the painful frostbite scars were gone. My skin was warm.
I grabbed my phone. The screen lit up: November 12.
It was exactly three days before the world ended.
When my adoptive mother called, faking a tearful emergency to demand another thirty thousand dollars, I smiled coldly.
"Just tell me where to send the money, Mom."
This time, I'm taking my space back, and I'm going to drain them dry.

Evelina Barrett was the legitimate daughter, yet she was framed for a disgusting sex scandal, expelled from the Ivy League, and locked out of her late mother's massive trust fund.
While she was thrown out to rot on the streets with a jagged, hideous red scar covering half her face, her father and step-family were throwing a lavish charity gala to celebrate her total ruin.
They laughed as they officially published her disownment notice in the Times to cut her off forever.
"Without the school halo, that ugly freak will be begging on the streets by tomorrow," her sister Aspen sneered.
Her stepmother Annabella toasted to taking out the trash, perfectly happy to steal Evelina's inheritance while ignoring the fact that Evelina knew exactly how they had murdered her mother.
For years, Evelina had been locked in a dark basement, abused by bodyguards, and treated worse than a stray dog.
Why should she, the true heir, suffer in the gutter while the leeches who destroyed her life enjoyed the wealth that rightfully belonged to her?
She refused to be their victim anymore.
Washing away her fake scar to reveal her true, breathtaking face, Evelina blackmailed New York's most lethal billionaire into marriage to secure the ultimate shield.
Then, she put on a black mourning dress, ordered a dark web ghost crew, and climbed into a heavy semi-truck.
At exactly 6:00 PM, she smashed through the iron gates of her family's elegant gala, delivering three pure black coffins directly to the lawn.

I was the fiancée of the Chicago Outfit’s heir, a bond sealed by blood and eighteen years of history.
But when his mistress pushed me into the freezing pool at our engagement gala, Jax didn’t swim toward me.
He swam past me.
He scooped up the girl who pushed me, cradling her like fragile glass, while I struggled against the weight of my gown in the murky water.
When I finally dragged myself out, shivering and humiliated before the entire underworld, Jax didn’t offer a hand. He offered a scowl.
"You’re making a scene, Eliana. Go home."
Later, when that same mistress shoved me down the stairs, shattering my knee and my dance career, Jax stepped over my broken body to comfort her.
I overheard him telling his friends, "I’m just breaking her spirit. She needs to learn she’s property, not a partner. Once she’s desperate enough, she’ll be the perfect obedient wife."
He thought I was a dog that would always return to its master. He thought he could starve me of affection until I begged for scraps.
He was wrong.
While he was busy playing protector to his mistress, I wasn't crying in my room.
I was packing his ring into a cardboard box.
I cancelled my transfer to UCLA and enrolled at NYU instead.
By the time Jax realized his "property" was missing, I was already in New York, standing next to a man who looked at me like a queen, not a possession.

Today was my father's grand second wedding, but for me, it was the anniversary of my mother's death.
My new stepmother, Marley, who was only four years older than me, cornered me. To establish her dominance as the new Luna, she ordered her servants to force me to my knees and violently ripped my late mother's necklace from my neck.
It was the only memento my mother had left me. Marley sneered, threw it to the ground, and shattered the gems. When I scrambled to pick up the broken pieces, she dug her high-heeled shoe into the back of my hand, mocking me as dirty trash. No one stepped in to help. My father was too busy celebrating his new marriage under the dazzling lights, completely erasing my mother's memory and leaving me to be abused in my own pack.
My heart was full of grievance and despair. Why did my mother's lifelong devotion end with her grave desolate and her daughter humiliated? I swore I would never become a weak, discarded she-wolf whose life depended on a man.
Desperate to escape the suffocating wedding, I ran outside and stumbled right into the chest of a terrifying stranger.
"No one should ever touch what is precious to you."
His golden eyes blazed with fury as sparks instantly shot through my veins. He was Kade Blackwood, the ruthless Alpha of the feared Blood Moon Pack—and my fated mate.

Cora Foster was a brilliant archaeologist, but a jagged burn scar across her face made the world treat her like a contagious monster.
During an elite excavation of a Gilded Age crypt, touching an ancient artifact triggered a terrifying memory. She remembered being Seraphina Beaumont, a socialite brutally buried alive by her vain, cruel sister, Isolde.
When the team pried open the crypt's pristine mahogany casket, they cheered, believing the mummified corpse inside was Seraphina. But Cora recognized the onyx hairpin and the angular jawline. It was Isolde. The sister who had stolen her life, mocked her agony, and left her to suffocate in the dark. Her colleagues scoffed at her forensic proof, dismissing her as a scarred, delusional liability.
Worse, the ruthless billionaire funding the expedition, Julian Montgomery, was the spitting image of Alistair—the man Seraphina had deeply loved. Why was Julian staring at her ruined face with such intense, inexplicable recognition? And why did Isolde take Seraphina's most precious silver ring to the grave?
Driven by a century of agonizing grief, Cora secretly pried the tarnished ring from the mummy's stiff, dead fingers and dropped it into her pocket.
"What are you looking at, Foster?"
Julian's deep voice vibrated inches from her ear, his cold, predatory eyes locked directly onto her half-open pocket.

Dorene survived a terrifying night with a bleeding, dangerous intruder in her hotel penthouse, only to receive a far more devastating blow the next morning.
A black and gold envelope arrived. It was an engagement invitation. Her boyfriend of seven years, Kadyn, was marrying her sweet, innocent best friend, Dolly.
Refusing to hide, Dorene crashed the gala in a blood-red gown. But Dolly was ready. Grabbing Dorene's wrists, Dolly purposely threw herself backward into a tower of champagne glasses, shrieking about her stomach and her unborn baby.
"If anything happens to Dolly or my child, I swear to God, I will destroy you!"
Kadyn roared, holding the weeping Dolly in the broken glass. He didn't ask a single question. He branded Dorene a jealous monster. To completely break her dignity, he publicly handed her over to the city's most notorious, sleazy playboy just to appease Dolly's fake tears.
"Give him a shot," Kadyn told her coldly.
Seven years of love were ground into the marble floor. She was framed, publicly humiliated, and discarded like trash by the two people she trusted most.
Dorene didn't shed a single tear. She gave them a smile of pure, freezing mockery and walked out of the gilded cage into the freezing Manhattan night. She didn't know that as she left, the lethal, blood-stained man from her penthouse was watching from the shadows, ready to help her burn their world to the ground.
