BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW “Tomorrow’s another day.”
It wasn’t until later that I learned the truth.One afternoon, after a long day of work, I walked into town to pick up some supplies. As I passed by a small café, I saw Samuel sitting at a table outside, his back to me. He wasn’t alone. A woman sat across from him, her hand resting on his, her face soft with affection. I recognized her—Lana Stock, a woman from a neighboring town, someone I had seen Samuel talking to before, though I never knew how close they were.I hesitated, not wanting to intrude, but something in their conversation caught my attention.“I can’t do this anymore, Samuel,” Lana was saying, her voice trembling with emotion. “I can’t keep waiting for you to leave her. It’s tearing me apart.”Samuel’s face was tight with frustration, his hand gripping hers as if he were trying to hold on to something slipping away. “You know it’s not that simple, Lana,” he replied, his voice low and strained. “I’m stuck in this marriage because of my father. It was his dying wish, and I
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW Anna Edgewood
The morning light streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. As I sat by the window, lost in my thoughts, the door creaked open, and in walked my grandmother, Mrs. Edgewood. Her presence filled the room with a sense of calm and reassurance that I had longed for. She looked at me with eyes that radiated both concern and love, eyes that had seen so much yet still held a softness for me.“Come, let’s have breakfast,” she said, her voice gentle but firm. “There is a lot you need to know, and we need to start making some adjustments.”I could tell how much she wanted to be with me, how much she wanted to bridge the years we had lost. The way she looked at me, with that blend of affection and determination, made me feel something I hadn’t felt in a long time—safe.As we walked down the grand staircase, the marble floors beneath our feet seemed to speak of the richness and age of the Edgewood estate. Every step echoed the legacy I had unknowingly become a part of. I co
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW "she still owns my mom for all the years they took her in."
“Anna, darling, are you alright?” she asked softly, her voice trembling with emotion.I nodded weakly, trying to sit up. My head still felt heavy, but the dizziness had subsided. “I’m sorry,” I whispered, tears welling in my eyes. “It was just... too much.”Grandmother sighed, her expression softening. “I know, dear. I know it’s overwhelming. But you don’t have to face this alone. We’re here to help you, every step of the way.”Her words were like a balm to my aching heart. For the first time in what felt like forever, I felt a sense of belonging, of being cared for. This was my family, and though the path ahead was uncertain, I knew I wouldn’t have to walk it alone.As I lay there, surrounded by the warmth of my grandmother’s love, I felt a glimmse of hope. This was a new beginning, a chance to build a life that was truly my own. And with my grandmother by my side, I knew I had the strength to face whatever challenges lay ahead.******************************** Lara’s apartment was
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW Reflections of the Past
The room was quiet, save for the soft rustle of the curtains as a gentle breeze drifted through the open window. I lay in bed, my body still weak from the fainting spell earlier that day. The weight of my responsibilities as an Edgewood was overwhelming, but more than that, the memories of the years I had lost—years spent in a world so far removed from the grandeur of this estate—hung heavily on my heart.I felt a familiar presence beside me and turned to see my grandmother, Mrs. Edgewood, sitting on the edge of the bed. Her eyes, filled with concern and love, met mine. She had aged gracefully, her silver hair framing a face that had seen so much over the years. Yet, there was a softness in her expression, a warmth that I hadn’t felt in a long time."My dear Anna," she began, her voice soothing, "I’m so sorry that you’ve had to go through all of this alone. I wish I had found you sooner. I wish I had known where you were, what you were enduring. But now that you’re home, I want to und
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW "You’re not alone in this,”
“Who is that?” Grandma askedThe door creaked open. We turned to see one of the maids, her face pale and her eyes wide with worry, standing hesitantly at the threshold.“Miss Anna,” she began, her voice trembling slightly as she clutched her apron. “Mrs. Edgewood, I’m sorry to interrupt, but there’s... there’s someone at the gate.”My heart skipped a beat, the fragile calm I had been nurturing suddenly shattered by the tension in the maid’s voice. Mrs. Edgewood, who had been holding my hand, looked up with a frown. “Who is it, dear?”The maid swallowed hard, her gaze shifting nervously between us. “It’s... its Mr. Samuel Idris, ma’am. He’s arrived with some load and is asking to see his wife and meet with you.”The mention of Samuel’s name was like a physical blow, the air rushing from my lungs as fear wrapped its icy fingers around my heart. I hadn’t seen him since my return to the Edgewood estate, and the thought of facing him now, here in this place that was supposed to be my sanct
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW Crazy Anna, Bipolar Anna.
The memory of that day still lingers in my mind, a haunting echo of what could have been and what was lost. The smell of polished wood and the rhythm of feet moving in unison against the dance studio floor were once comforting to me, but now they only remind me of a friendship that slipped through my fingers like sand.It was my first episode at the dance school, a place that had once felt like a sanctuary, where I could lose myself in the music and forget, if only for a moment, the pain of my life with Mr. Idris. Dancing had always been my escape, the one thing that allowed me to feel free, even if just for a few fleeting moments. But that day, everything changed.Austin Miller had recently joined our dance group, and it didn’t take long for him to catch the attention of everyone, including me. He was tall, with a natural grace that made every movement seem effortless, and a smile that could light up the darkest room. I noticed how the other girls would steal glances at him, giggling
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW Arise Princess
The soft knock on the door pulled me from the depths of sleep. I blinked, trying to shake off the remnants of a dream that clung to me like fog. The sunlight was gentle, filtering through the curtains and casting a warm, golden hue across the room. For a moment, I simply lay there, soaking in the peace of the morning, trying to hold on to the serenity for just a little longer.But then, reality came crashing back.“Good morning, ma’am,” the maid greeted me as she entered the room. Her voice was polite, practiced, and there was a hint of warmth in her tone. She moved with quiet efficiency, already heading towards the wardrobe to prepare the clothes I was expected to wear for the company briefing today.“Good morning,” I replied, sitting up slowly. My body still felt heavy, the weight of yesterday’s events pressing down on me. The conversation with Grandma, the overwhelming responsibility that now rested on my shoulders—it all seemed like too much. I rubbed my temples, trying to fend off
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW “why don’t you join us for breakfast?”
As I approached the sitting area, a knot tightened in my stomach. Every step felt heavier than the last, weighed down by the uncertainty of what awaited me. Samuel’s presence here was like a dark shadow creeping into the light of my new life, threatening to pull me back into the darkness I had fought so hard to escape. I had prepared myself for anger, for accusations, for the cold, bitter man I knew all too well. But nothing could have prepared me for what I saw when I stepped into the room.There he was, sitting comfortably on one of the plush chairs in my grandmother’s opulent sitting room. And he was smiling. Not the usual smirk of mockery or disdain, but a genuine smile—a warmth that I had never seen on his face before. It was unsettling, to say the least. The man who had only ever shown me contempt was now looking at me as if he were an entirely different person.“Good morning, Anna,” Samuel greeted me, his voice soft and warm, as if we were old friends. “You look lovely today.”

BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW "Get out. And don’t ever come back.”
“Welcome back, Miss Anna,” Lydia said, taking the bags from my hands before I could protest. She was always like that—quietly efficient, never allowing me to do too much myself.“Thanks, Lydia. It’s good to be home,” I replied, though my voice felt hollow. Home. This house used to feel like that, but now... now it just felt like an empty shell, haunted by my grandmother’s absence.“I picked up some groceries on the way,” I added as she took my things.“I’ll take care of them,” she said, her hands already full but still moving with that same quiet grace.I was about to head toward my chambers when I heard it—a sound that shouldn’t have been there. A rustling, followed by the faint thud of something heavy being moved. My brows furrowed. It was coming from my grandmother’s chambers.Her room. The room that was supposed to be mine now, but I couldn’t bring myself to move into it. It had been two months since she passed, and I still refused to rearrange the mansion or even touch her belong
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW Mrs. Idris
I sat quietly beside my mother, watching her frail hands resting on the blanket. There was something unsettling about seeing her so vulnerable. A woman who, once upon a time, was full of life, now appeared fragile and worn. I couldn’t help but feel a wave of guilt rush over me. I should have been here more often. But, then again, when had I ever been good at staying?I was deep in thought when the door opened, and someone stepped inside. I turned my head and froze for a second, a smile tugging at the corner of my lips. It was the nurse- that nurse- the one I had been flirting with outside the nurse’s station earlier today.Her name was Jennifer. I’d seen her outside my mother’s room and we’d exchanged flirtatious glances, harmless small talk, and a few compliments. But seeing her now, walking into my mother’s room, caught me off guard.“Well, well, Jennifer,” I said, my voice laced with amusement, “didn’t expect to see you here.”She smiled politely, though her eyes held a flicker of
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW Samuel's Visit
I stood outside the door for an eternity, my hand shaking before the handle. The last time I visited my mother was brief, awkward, and honestly, unremarkable. It had been Anna who insisted on keeping my mother here, in this place, tho safe, comfortable, well taken care of. The irony wasn’t lost on me. Anna had taken care of so much. More than I deserved, to be honest.Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open gently. The room was beautiful, and tastefully decorated, with nice flowers and warm light spilling from the large window that had the view of the garden. A slight breeze moved the curtains, letting in the faint scent of jasmine. My mother lying in bed with her thin, frail body swallowed by the thick knit blanket draped over her body. She didn’t notice me at first, but when I cleared my throat, she turned, and the surprise in her eyes was… too much.Her gaze locked onto mine, wide with total disbelief, almost as if she were looking at a ghost. I felt a pang of guilt in my che
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW Mrs. Idris
It had been a while since I’d visited Mrs. Idris, and as I walked through the quiet halls of the nursing home, a heavy sense of guilt settled in the pit of my stomach. The scent of antiseptic mixed with the faint smell of lavender drifted through the air, and I found myself clenching and unclenching my fists to keep my nerves at bay.Mrs. Idris had been under my guardianship ever since her health began to decline. I’d ensured she was taken care of, well-fed, comfortable, and treated with the respect she deserved. But I hadn’t been here as much as I should have lately. With everything happening—my grandmother’s death, the business responsibilities—I had let too much time slip by. I entered her room quietly. The pale yellow curtains let in a soft, golden light that bathed the room in warmth. Mrs. Idris lay on her bed, propped with pillows, her frail frame barely making an impression under the blankets. Her eyes fluttered open as she heard the door click shut.“Mrs. Idris,” I called sof
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW Lara needs help
It had been a week since that unsettling lunch with Henry, where I saw the woman staring at me through the window. The memory still played in my mind, a gnawing discomfort at the back of my thoughts. I hadn't mentioned it to Henry, trying to brush it off as a coincidence, but I couldn’t shake the eerie feeling that her eyes were filled with something more than curiosity. Today, however, all of that would come to light.I was sitting in the library, going through some paperwork, when the housekeeper knocked on the door, her voice timid. “Miss Anna, there’s someone at the door asking for you. She says her name is Lara.”I froze, my pen hovering over the page. Lara. The woman from the restaurant. I cleared my throat, setting the papers aside. “Send her in.”As the housekeeper left, my heart raced, my thoughts swirling. What could she possibly want? And why now?Moments later, Lara entered the room. She looked different from that day—worn, perhaps, but with a determined expression. She
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW She was just there
Sitting across from Henry at the small, cozy café, I couldn’t help but smile as the afternoon sun bathed the room in a golden glow. The atmosphere was warm and intimate, the kind of place that made you forget about the world outside. We had been talking about everything and nothing for the past hour, letting time slip by unnoticed as we enjoyed each other's company.Henry looked at me with that familiar warmth in his eyes, his fingers gently playing with the rim of his coffee cup. “You know, Anna, you’re beautiful,” he said, his voice soft but filled with sincerity. The way he said it, like it was a fact he couldn’t help but notice, made my cheeks flush.I let out a small laugh, trying to brush off the compliment, but he wasn’t having it.“No, really,” he continued, leaning in slightly. “You have this light about you. The kind that draws people in. I’ve felt it since the moment I first saw you.”I glanced down at my plate, suddenly feeling shy. "Henry, stop, you’re making me blush.”B
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW I want to take you on a date today
I was awoken by the soft clinking of china against the tray beside me. At first, the sound felt distant, like it was part of a dream, but as my eyes fluttered open, I was greeted by the golden rays of the morning sun streaming in through the curtains. The warmth of the light made everything feel soft like the world was wrapped in a comforting glow. I blinked a few times, adjusting to the brightness, and then I saw him.Henry was standing by the bed, a small, proud smile playing on his lips as he arranged the tray on the bedside table. His eyes caught mine, and I couldn’t help but smile back. He had asked the maid to prepare breakfast for us, the thoughtful gesture warming me from the inside. The smell of fresh tea and warm croissants filled the room, making the moment feel even more surreal and peaceful.“Good morning, sleepyhead,” Henry whispered, leaning down to press a gentle kiss to my forehead. His lips lingered for a second longer as if he was savoring the simplicity of the mome
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW And maybe—just maybe—I would be okay.
I sat at the edge of the bed, dressed in the black gown I hadn’t taken off in days. It had been two months since Mrs. Margaret Edgewood, the woman who had been like a mother to me, passed away. And I hadn’t left my room since the funeral. The outside world felt distant, like a memory that no longer belonged to me. My world had shrunk to the size of this room, this bed. I couldn’t shake the hollow emptiness that settled in my chest like a permanent weight. Grief had consumed me, and with each passing day, it grew harder to remember what it was like to feel anything else.The door creaked open, and I glanced up just in time to see Henry stepping inside. His face softened the moment he saw me, concern etched into every line of his expression. He walked slowly toward me, as though afraid that too much movement might cause me to break."Hey," he said softly, sitting down on the bed next to me. His presence was calming and familiar, and for a moment, I felt a small spark of warmth.“Hey,”
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW This is your divorce contract, Samuel. Please sign it.”
"Are you ready, Anna? To serve Samuel his divorce papers?" His voice was gentle as if he could sense my hesitation.I nodded slowly, unable to find the words. This was it. After years of suffering, I was finally taking back my life. The papers felt heavy in my hands, symbolic of every battle I had endured. Every tear, every sleepless night.The maid, standing by the door, glanced at Mr. Mike, awaiting his signal. "Go and call Mr. Samuel. He’s in the guest house," he instructed.I could hear the faint thump of music coming from the guest house, the sound of Samuel’s "good life." The man I had married had turned into a stranger, indulging in the company of others, in everything that had nothing to do with me. I had long since stopped wondering where I went wrong because I knew now—it was never about me.I glanced toward my grandmother, Mrs. Margaret Edgewood, lying weakly in her bed. She had been my rock through all of this, her frail hands still able to hold my spirit together even as
