The Blind Billionaire's Scandalous Fake Wife

I woke up in a sterile hospital room with a throat like sandpaper and eyelids that felt sewn shut. I expected to see the water-stained ceiling of my tiny Queens apartment, but instead, I found myself tethered to expensive machines in a room smelling of funeral lilies. The nurse didn't call me Ainsley Bentley; she called me Mrs. Eaton, and she told me the year was 2024. Before I could process the four-year gap in my memory, the Eaton matriarch stormed in, calling me a "little actress" and throwing a newspaper at my legs. The headline screamed that I was a scandalous commoner wife who had just caused a DUI crash. Within hours, a ruthless lawyer named Preston was at my bedside, demanding I sign a separation agreement that stripped me of everything. He showed me grainy photos of me with another man, accusing me of infidelity and "endangering the family reputation." My so-called best friend, Kirstie, even tried to bribe me with fifty thousand dollars to flee to Paris, whispering that my husband was an unstable monster who would destroy me. When I finally confronted my husband Carson, the billionaire "Blind Prophet of Wall Street," he looked at me with chilling indifference through his dark glasses. He was convinced I had sold his location to the paparazzi for a tabloid payout, betraying him at his most vulnerable moment. I didn't understand any of it. I didn't remember the marriage, the scandals, or the luxury. But when I looked in the mirror, I found a jagged, violent scar running down my back—a "war wound" that didn't belong to a yoga instructor. I realized I knew how to cite matrimonial law by heart and how to neutralize a physical threat with a single move. "I'm staying," I told the family of sharks as I stood my ground in their massive estate. I refused to sign the papers. Instead, I found a micro SD card hidden in a hollowed-out lipstick and realized I wasn't just a victim of a crash. I was a variable they hadn't accounted for, and I was going to find out exactly who I was before they could finish what they started.

Chapter 7

The housekeeper, Mrs. Sterling, led Ainsley to a room that felt more like a walk-in freezer than a guest suite. It was in the furthest corner of the house, dusty and cold.

"Dinner is at seven," she said, and closed the door.

Ainsley didn't care about the dust. She checked the room. She looked under the lamps, behind the paintings. She didn't know why she was doing it, but her fingers moved with a practiced paranoia.

Clear.

Ainsley showered in the attached bathroom, scrubbing the hospital smell off her skin until it was raw. She had no clothes, so she wrapped herself in a thick, white bathrobe she found in the closet.

The house was a labyrinth of silence. Under the guise of her amnesia, she had the perfect cover to explore. She needed a layout. She needed to know the security patterns, the staff rotations. She needed to find his office.

She tied the robe tighter and opened the door. The hallway was empty. She moved silently, her bare feet making no sound on the thick Persian runners.

She passed dozens of closed doors. Portraits of dead Eatons stared down at her with cold, judgmental eyes. She found what she was looking for at the end of the west wing: a heavy oak door, slightly more modern than the others, with a small, discreet keypad next to the handle.

Carson's study. The heart of the kingdom.

Ainsley examined the keypad. A standard six-digit system. Too many combinations to guess. But the keys for 2, 5, 8, and 9 were slightly more worn than the others. A start.

As Ainsley leaned closer, a floorboard creaked behind her.

She didn't think. She spun around, her body low, ready to react, her face a mask of vacant confusion.

The piano teacher she'd seen earlier stood there, holding a stack of sheet music. Her eyes widened in surprise.

"Mrs. Eaton," she huffed. "You gave me a fright. Are you lost?"

"Oh," Ainsley said, putting a hand to her chest and letting out a shaky breath. "I'm so sorry. I... I don't know where I am. This house is so big." She looked at the oak door as if seeing it for the first time. "What's in here?"

"Mr. Eaton's private study," the teacher said, her tone clipped and disapproving. "No one is allowed in."

"Oh, of course," Ainsley said, stepping back with a display of meek apology. "I'll just... I'll try to find my way back."

She turned and walked away, her posture deliberately unsteady. But in her mind, she was already mapping the house, logging the teacher's presence, and calculating the odds of cracking that code.

She didn't see the figure standing in the hallway, just out of sight.

Carson stood there, his hand resting on the doorframe of a nearby room. He had heard the entire exchange. The floorboard creak. The teacher's sharp intake of breath. Ainsley's soft, confused voice.

But he had also heard the silence before that. The utter lack of sound from her approach. It was the silence of a predator, not a lost sheep.

His grip on his cane tightened. He stood there for a long time, then turned and walked away silently.

Reborn Heiress: Revenge On My Ruthless Ex

I was dying in a rusted warehouse, paralyzed in a wheelchair while the man I loved and my own stepsister watched with smiles on their faces. The air smelled of old oil and damp concrete, and my vision was fading into a milky haze. Dillon, the man I’d sacrificed everything for, smoothed his custom suit and pulled out a syringe filled with a clear, lethal neurotoxin. Beside him, my stepsister Bianca toyed with my mother’s sapphire ring—the one they’d just pried off my hand while I was too weak to even make a fist. She leaned in and whispered that my father’s trust fund was already offshore and that they’d sent my husband, Kade, to the wrong coordinates to ensure he’d only find my corpse. Dillon slid the needle into my vein with the chilling efficiency of a man who had done this before. "This will stop your heart in thirty seconds," he said, sounding as bored as if he were explaining a tax form. Ice flooded my chest, and my lungs seized, fighting for oxygen that wasn't there. As the warehouse lights blurred into white streaks, an explosion echoed in the distance. Kade had come for me, but he was too late. I died staring at the ceiling, my heart giving one last violent kick of pure, unadulterated hatred. I had been such a fool, believing Dillon’s lies and running away from the only man who actually cared for me. I died with a single thought: if I ever get another chance, I will drag you both to hell with me. Then, there was nothing. And then, there was air. I sat up gasping, my silk pajamas drenched in cold sweat. The rusted beams were gone, replaced by a vaulted ceiling and the glittering Manhattan skyline. I grabbed the digital clock on the nightstand—it was five years ago, the exact night I first tried to run away with Dillon. The bedroom door slammed against the wall, and Kade Mullen stood in the doorway, looking dangerous, furious, and very much alive. I looked at my shaking hands, then at the man I had once hated. This time, I wasn't going to run. I was going to make sure Dillon and Bianca lost everything.
