Chapter 2

In the elevator, I looked at the changing numbers in a daze.

My phone rang, and it was a call from Matt. I did not expect myself to answer the call.

“Oscar, Ms. Anderson really liked the model that you optimized for me. Next time, just send all of your creative designs to me. Then, I don’t have to trouble Ms. Anderson to do so.

“Of course, I’m very grateful for your support to me and to Ms. Anderson. Don’t worry. We’ll definitely invite you to our wedding as a groomsman.”

Even though I had expected his words, I still felt a numbness in my heart.

Celine and I had met in university. Even though she did not come from a rich family, I never looked down on her for it.

When we were twenty, we were madly in love. I gave up on an investment invitation and started a business with her.

When we were twenty-three, she accepted my proposal. I thought she was my entire future.

When we were twenty-five, her company was set up. I rejected all offers and focused on supporting her.

Over ten years, we supported each other. We were a model couple in everyone’s eyes.

However, everything started to change once she hired a male assistant.

She purposely kept a distance from me in public and indirectly denied our working relationship.

Even though we had been engaged for a long time, she would not let anyone in the company know about it.

After I asked her many times, she finally agreed to officially announce our relationship once the company hit the billion-dollar mark in market capitalization.

However, to help Matt, she kept letting him take credit for my work. It reached a point that everyone in the industry thought I was a useless creep who slept his way up.

My phone buzzed again. I thought it was a spam message and wanted to delete it. However, it was a call from my private lawyer, Theo Black.

“Mr. Smith, preparations for the initial public offering for Ms. Anderson’s new company are complete. As one of the core partners, would you like to submit the documents to the board?”

“No. Scrap it.”

Theo stayed silent for a while before he hesitantly asked, “Do you mean… you want to add even better terms and conditions?”

“Liquidate all the shares under my name and inform the legal department to initiate the intellectual property protection protocol for my core investment strategy model.”

Theo was shocked by the complete change in my attitude. He was dumbfounded for a long while.

Everyone knew that I was Celine’s strongest backing.

I had exhausted all of my network and savings for her so that she would not run into cash flow issues.

I had pulled all-nighters to analyze data and risk so that she would not make the wrong decisions.

To everyone, I was just an average data analyst.

However, I did not hide any of my talent and ability from her.

Despite spending so much effort, she once said to the board of directors indifferently, “Without my platforms, his strategies are just a stack of waste paper.”

At that time, I still naively thought that she only said it to reinforce her authority.

I finally realized that I was just a tool to her.

“From now on, you no longer have to tell me anything about Celine and Harmony Corporation. Treat it how you would treat other businesses.”

Billionaire's Placeholder: Now Watch Me Shine Novel Cover
8.5
For two years, I was the perfect shadow of another woman. I wore the silk robes Brittain Austin bought, styled my hair exactly how he liked, and spoke in a voice pitched half an octave higher than my own. I was a placeholder, a living statue in a minimalist Manhattan penthouse, waiting for a man who looked at me but never actually saw me. Everything shattered when a news alert flashed on my phone: "Caryn Newman Spotted at JFK." The original was back. The woman I was hired to mimic had returned to claim her throne, and my secret two-year contract as her stand-in was set to expire in three days. Brittain didn't even give me the courtesy of a phone call. While he was supposed to be on a business trip, photos surfaced of him shielding Caryn from the paparazzi, his hand on her waist with a tenderness he never showed me. When I walked into his office to return his keys, he didn't look guilty; he just looked annoyed. He pulled out a checkbook and asked, "How much for the hurt feelings?" When I refused his money, he coldly ordered his assistant to freeze every one of my accounts before I even reached the elevator. I stood on the sidewalk with zero dollars, realizing that to him, I wasn't a partner—I was just an expired lease. I had spent two years erasing my soul to fit into his world, only to be tossed out like trash the moment the real thing came home. But Brittain forgot one thing: before I was his doll, I was an actress. I pulled my secret weapon from under the bed—a notebook and a raw film cut he never knew existed. I called my agent and launched a high-profile "showmance" with my co-star that set the internet on fire. As I blocked Brittain's number and moved into a dusty apartment in Queens, I realized the show wasn't over. For the first time, I was the leading lady.
Bound By Blood: The Billionaire's Contract Novel Cover
7.1
I woke up gasping for air, expecting the cold concrete of a prison cell, but my fingers sank into the plush leather of a luxury Lincoln. I was twenty-four again, wearing the silver silk dress from the night my life was systematically destroyed. Beside me sat my cousin Catrina, the woman whose carefully crafted lies had orchestrated my ruin and sent me to a penitentiary for five years. In my first life, this was the night the dominoes fell. Catrina stole my jewelry to paint me as mentally unstable, and by morning, I was stripped of my medical license and labeled a criminal. My mother’s family, the Montgomerys, stood by and watched as my father’s company was devoured by wolves, treating my existence like a "liability" that needed to be managed. I still felt the phantom tremors in my hands from prison fights and the stinging betrayal of being discarded by the people I called family. I had lived through five years of absolute hell, a former surgeon rotting in a cell while the people who framed me toasted to their success at galas I was no longer invited to. "Don't be selfish, Dawn," Catrina whispered, reaching for the necklace that would later be used as evidence against me. "Let the jewelry shine on someone who actually matters." She thought I was still the fragile victim she could manipulate, but she didn't realize I had returned from the grave with the cold, clinical calculation of a fixer. Instead of walking into her trap at the gala, I forced the car onto a dark service road and dragged a dying billionaire, Jennings Stafford, from the wreckage of a burning SUV. He was the only man powerful enough to destroy my enemies, and as I stitched his wounds with stolen supplies, I didn't ask for a thank you. I looked him dead in the eye and proposed a contract that would set the world on fire. "I want a strategic marriage. You get a harmless wife with a legacy name to calm your board, and I get immunity from everyone who ever touched me." The bill for my five years in prison had finally come due, and I was here to collect.
