Caught Between the Billionaire and My Ex
“This is Abraham Blackwood, heir to the Blackwood empire, one of the richest families in the country." The moment I stepped ahead, he turned slowly and my breath caught in my throat.
The shock of seeing him again struck me like a bolt of lightning.
No… It can’t be him.
But it was.
Sitting there, casually sipping tea, was him—the man from the bar.
The same piercing blue eyes locked onto mine, his expression shifting from mild amusement to disbelief.
His sharp blue eyes pierced through the room and locked onto mine with an intensity that made my breath freeze in my throat. I couldn’t move, couldn’t speak. The memories of the night in the bar flooded back—his arrogance, his rude comments, his piercing gaze that had felt so unsettling.
I stared at Alexander, still in shock. The man sitting across from me wasn't just any stranger. He was a billionaire—an heir to a vast fortune. My brother had been friends with him for years, and their families had arranged this marriage as part of a business partnership.

Chapter: Husband or billionaire“Why didn’t he refuse?” I whispered to myself, staring at my reflection in the mirror. The wedding dress hugged my body perfectly, the lace shimmering under the soft light. My hair was neatly done, the veil draping over my shoulders. I looked like a bride, but I didn’t feel like one. After that encounter at the bar, I thought he’d want nothing to do with me, much less marry me.Every possibility I thought of only added to my unease. Was this some power play? A business move? A way to humiliate me further? I wanted to refuse this marriage but I couldn’t. My parents were extremely happy like this marriage was the best thing to ever happen to our family. I couldn’t refuse their happiness.My mother’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts.“Lena, try this one,” she said, holding up yet another veil. I nodded absentmindedly, letting her adjust it over my head.“You look beautiful,” she whispered, her eyes misty. I managed a small smile. It wasn’t the veil or the dress that bothered me. It wa

Chapter: He is ruthlessStepping out of the airport, I immediately spotted them—my parents standing in a row,, smiling and waving. Their familiar smiles warmed my chest, and for a moment, the weight of everything I’d left behind felt lighter.Dragging my suitcase, I ran into my mother’s arms, her embrace the sanctuary I hadn’t realized I craved so deeply. "Mom," I whispered, my voice trembling, "I've missed you so much.""Welcome home, sweetheart. You look thinner. Have you been eating properly?" Her hand stroked my hair gently.Back then, for the sake of study I ignored my parents’ advice and insisted on returning to New York for college. They had reluctantly let me go. Who would have thought that once I left, I would be gone for five years, returning only briefly each Christmas, leaving them to suffer through endless longing?I was such impolite to me. As tears began to rise, I quickly pulled away from my mother.“Mom, I’m so hungry.” Her face softened with a knowing smile. “Come, let’s go home. I’ll make

Chapter: Back to home townDragging my exhausted body back my apartment, I took a long, detailed look at this place where I’d lived for the past four years.Every corner held memories of Ethan and me—once so beautiful, now stabbing into my heart like a thousand sharp blades. I cried that night, cried for every moment I spent with him.I found a large cardboard box and, unable to sleep, spent the night erasing those remnants of happiness.There were slippers with our "cat and dog" love diary design, the matching couple mugs that fit together, the keychains that sensed each other within ten meters and a whole box of photos and portraits. These were once the only proof of our relationship, especially in those times when I felt insecure.Now, there was no need for any of it.Till morning I nearly cleared out the entire house. I even disposed of the furniture I’d chosen myself, leaving the place as it was when I first moved in—black and white, so minimalist that you could see the entire room in a single glance.Sudd

Chapter: A night with strangerI didn’t know how much time had passed when I came back to consciousness. A throbbing pain in my head pulled me from the depths of unconsciousness. My eyes fluttered open to the dim light filtering through an unfamiliar room. I blinked a few times, realizing I was lying on a leather sofa, a blanket carelessly thrown over me.Sitting up slowly, I winced as my head pounded in protest. My clothes were still intact, though slightly rumpled, and my shoes were on the floor. How did I get here? The events of the night before were a blur—a whirlwind of loud music, a drink that didn’t taste right, and… him.Panic prickled through me. Flashes of the bar came rushing back—his sharp blue eyes, his cold words, the drink that had knocked me out. My stomach tightened. Did we…? Oh No.“Why does my head feel like it’s splitting open?” Clutching my head, I whimpered, tears spilling down my cheeks. I tried to stand, but my legs buckled, sending me crashing into a side table. The loud noise echoed in the

Chapter: Arrange marriageThe bar was filled with loud music, couples danced on the floor, and everyone enjoyed the atmosphere, but heaviness weighed on my heart. With a heavy heart, I approached the counter and ordered a fresh juice. Leaning on the counter, I suddenly witnessed a shocking scene: A strong and muscular man was dismissing a girl forcefully.I didn’t know why I got attracted to them, although it was normal here. But this guy has something that attracts me. Dark blond hair, almond-shaped eyes whose ice blue color was giving me a chill, strong cheekbones, short stubble, and full lips, with a slightly flat upper lip. Three buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, revealing perfectly toned chest muscles, and the strictness on his face made him different and exceptionally handsome. I have to admit, he's the most handsome man I've ever seen. The man, he was a little familiar but I didn’t know him."I don't deal with used things like you; get away from me or I will kill you," he said with gritted teeth, an

Chapter: I never loved her“I never loved her; you know.” Ethan’s voice, sharp and unflinching, sliced through the air. My breath hitched, the world around me blurring as those words struck harder than any blow.“She is good but I can’t marry her.” he continued, his tone almost casual, as if he wasn’t talking about the three years we’d spent together. My heart pounded, but I stayed frozen closer to the wall outside the private room.Cruel laughter followed, twisting like a dagger in my chest.“You play well. What are you going to do about that little girl?” Someone else chimed in, their voice laced with mockery. Ethan chuckled lowly, and it made my stomach churn.“I need to tell her about the arranged marriage my family wants for me. Soon my brother will be here and we will go back together. I don’t have much time.” he said, his tone soft but distant, like a knife wrapped in silk. My pulse pounded in my ears, but I couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe. I pressed my palm against the cold wall, desperate to steady my
