Ninety Days To Break Your Heart

I thought I was living the dream as the wife of a billionaire, until my husband came home at 2 A.M. reeking of expensive Scotch and "Midnight Rose"—the signature perfume of his ex-lover, Lucinda. While I spent my nights alone in the nursery with our sick twins, William was out in the city, making it clear to everyone that our marriage was nothing more than a cold, calculated business merger. When I finally confronted him with the evidence of his infidelity, he didn’t offer an apology. He simply looked at me with disgust and told me I was a "liability" who should stay home and play the part of the perfect mother while he lived his real life with someone else. The humiliation reached its peak at the hospital when his grandfather suffered a massive heart attack. William showed up with Lucinda on his arm, comforting her in front of the entire Sterling clan while his mother publicly mocked me for being a useless gold-digger. Even after William tried to force himself on me in a drunken rage the night before, he had the audacity to treat his mistress like the grieving wife while I was pushed into the shadows. I felt something inside me finally snap. The man I loved had turned into a monster who saw me as an acquisition rather than a human being. I was ready to sign the divorce papers and disappear with nothing but my pride, just to escape the suffocating weight of his indifference. But then, the dying patriarch called me to his bedside and handed me a sword: five percent of the company’s voting shares and a three-month ultimatum. I’m not running away anymore. I’ve decided to stay for ninety days, but not to save a dead marriage. I’m staying to become the one thing William Sterling never saw coming—his most dangerous nightmare.

Chapters

Chapter 3

He brought the smell of rain and stale whiskey with him. He kicked off his shoes, his movements loose, uncoordinated. He saw Mia sitting in the armchair, the blue folder on the coffee table between them.

"Waiting up for me?" He slurred slightly, walking to the bar cart. "How devoted."

"Sign this," Mia said.

William paused, decanter in hand. He looked at the folder, then at her. He smirked. "What now? A request for a vacation home? A pony for the twins?"

He walked over, picked up the folder, and flipped it open.

His eyes scanned the first page. The smirk vanished. His face went slack, then hardened into a mask of fury.

"Divorce?" He looked at her, his eyes dark and dangerous. "Is this a joke?"

"I'm serious, William." Mia stood her ground, though her knees were shaking. "No alimony. No fight for the shares. Just the children and my freedom."

"No money?" He threw the folder onto the table. It slid across the surface and fell to the floor. "You think you can play hard to get? You think threatening to leave will make me up the offer?"

He stepped closer. He towered over her, sucking the air out of the room.

"I don't want your money," Mia said quietly. "I want out."

"You don't get to walk away!" William roared. He grabbed her upper arm, his fingers digging into her flesh. "You trapped me! You used those kids to get into this family, and now you think you can just take them and leave?"

"I am taking them because you are unfit to be a father!"

The air in the room seemed to snap.

William's eyes went black. "Unfit?"

He yanked her toward him. The smell of alcohol was overpowering. "I'll show you who's in control here."

He crushed his mouth against hers. It wasn't a kiss. It was an assault. A punishment. His teeth scraped against her lip, harsh and demanding.

Mia struggled, pushing against his chest. "William, stop!"

He didn't stop. He backed her into the sofa, his weight pinning her down. The lamp on the side table crashed to the floor, plunging them into semi-darkness.

"You're my wife," he growled against her neck, his hand tearing at the collar of her blouse. Buttons popped, scattering onto the floor like hail. "Fulfill your duty."

Mia froze.

The sheer degradation of it washed over her like ice water. He wasn't making love to her. He was marking his territory. He was hating her with his body.

But as his hand gripped her shoulder, he looked down. He saw the utter lack of resistance. He saw her eyes-wide, vacant, staring past him at the ceiling as if she were already gone.

His movement faltered. The drunken rage that had been driving him suddenly hit a wall of cold reality.

She stopped fighting. Her arms fell to her sides. She turned her head to the side, staring at the rain lashing against the glass. She went somewhere else. Somewhere far away where she couldn't feel his hands, couldn't smell the whiskey, couldn't feel her heart breaking into a million irreparable pieces.

Continue to next part

Four years ago, I was drugged on a luxury yacht and ended up pregnant with twins. I raised them in secret, enduring my stepfamily's daily abuse, until the billionaire West family patriarch cornered us at the airport. He instantly recognized my son's face—an exact replica of his ruthless grandson, Bernardo West. My malicious stepmother and stepsister immediately leaked to the press that I was a delusional gold-digger using fake kids to trap a billionaire. They wanted the West family to destroy me to save their own social standing. Bernardo himself looked at me with pure disgust, demanding a DNA test. "If you ever lie to me, I will take the children, and I will make you wish you were never born." I didn't want his money. I was a victim of that night too, left with a crescent-shaped bite mark on my collarbone and zero memory of who set us up. Why did someone drug us? And how could I protect my babies from a corporate predator who could crush me with a snap of his fingers? But when the DNA test came back 99.9999% positive, I didn't cower. I showed him the scar he left on me, looked the most dangerous man in the country right in the eye, and made my demand. "If you want to claim your heirs, you have to marry me."

Reborn Heiress: My Family's Bitter Karma

7.9

On my eighteenth birthday, the celestial pact hiding my aura finally expired. I stood on the rotting steps of the trailer, watching my foster family celebrate my eviction like they’d won the lottery. Brenda threw a liability waiver at me to sign, ensuring I’d never ask for a dime of their welfare checks again. Worse, her daughter Regina stood there smirking, flaunting the heirloom emerald bracelet she’d stolen from my secret stash—unaware it was a spiritual artifact soaked in fifty years of blood magic. "Consider it payment for room and board, freak," Regina sneered, forcing the silver band over her wrist. They thought they were discarding a burden. They didn't realize I was the only dam holding back a tidal wave of their own bad karma. As I signed the papers, voluntarily severing our ties, the air pressure plummeted. The bracelet began to constrict like a snake, turning Regina’s flesh a necrotic purple as the protection I offered vanished. Before they could scream, a matte black helicopter bearing the Sterling Industries crest descended onto the muddy lawn, blowing their plastic lawn chairs into the neighbor's yard. A man in a bespoke charcoal suit stepped out, ignoring the filth to bow before me. He looked at my terrified foster family and announced, "We are here to retrieve the Sterling heiress." I smiled at Regina, whose arm was already beginning to rot, and whispered, "Keep the bracelet. You'll need it to pay for the amputation."
