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 Resilient Anna
The day was warm but carried a sense of anticipation. I had been pacing around the mansion since morning, preparing for Alice's visit. My grandmother, who had shown me nothing but kindness, insisted on meeting Alice, the one friend who had been there through the worst of times. It felt surreal, bringing Alice into this space that had seen so much of my suffering, and even more so to have her meet Samuel again—my tormentor, my husband, in name only.Alice arrived just before sunset, her hair catching the last rays of light. As soon as she walked through the door, I felt a wave of relief and anxiety all at once. She greeted me with a tight hug, her smile reassuring. "You look tense," she whispered, pulling back to look at me closely."I’m just… it’s complicated, Alice." I looked away, not sure how to explain the tight knot in my chest.Alice gave a small nod, her eyes scanning the room. "I’ll handle it," she said simply, a spark of determination in her voice. And just like that, I knew
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW "This is between Anna and me. It’s none of your…
It was early morning, and the Edgewood mansion was as grand and quiet as ever. My days had become a routine of endless learning sessions, as Grandma had taken it upon herself to ensure that I received the education I had missed out on. After realizing that I had never gone beyond basic schooling, Mrs. Margaret Edgewood was adamant about fixing this gap.She arranged for the best tutors to homeschool me. It felt overwhelming at first, but deep down, I knew she meant well. I spent hours every day pouring over books, studying subjects I had never imagined I would need to know. It was exhausting, but also liberating in its way. Each lesson was like a step forward into a future that I was slowly reclaiming.While I spent my days buried in books, Samuel… well, Samuel was doing what he did best—enjoying the privileges of the Edgewood name. By marriage alone, he had access to the wealth, power, and influence that came with being associated with our family. And he reveled in it. The title of "
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW "Leaving in a hurry, Samuel?
The tension was palpable as Samuel stormed out of Anna’s room, his footsteps echoing angrily down the hallway of the grand Edgewood mansion. His mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions—frustration, shame, and the unmistakable sting of Alice’s revelation. Lara. Pregnant. The words still buzzed in his head, and now, he had to find a way to regain control of the situation before it slipped completely out of his hands.As he rounded a corner, his path was blocked by Henry, Mrs. Edgewood’s personal assistant and the man who handled much of the estate’s day-to-day affairs. Henry had always been an unassuming figure, quietly efficient and fiercely loyal to Mrs. Edgewood and her granddaughter, Anna. But there was something in his posture tonight—an edge to his gaze that Samuel hadn’t noticed before."Leaving in a hurry, Samuel?" Henry’s voice was calm, but there was a weight behind it, like a predator waiting to strike.Samuel scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Not that it’s any of your busines
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW "Anna! Help me! Anna!"
The evening was cozy, a soft golden glow from the lamp illuminating the guest apartment where Alice was supposed to be staying. But over the past two weeks, she had barely spent a night in her assigned room, choosing instead to curl up with me in my bedroom like we used to when we were younger. Those nights, full of whispered conversations and shared memories, had become a source of comfort in the midst of everything else.Alice stretched her legs out on the plush carpet, leaning against the edge of my bed, her face framed by the soft glow. “These past two weeks have been beautiful, Anna,” she said, a smile playing on her lips. “I’m so happy for you. It feels like you’re finally starting to live again.”I couldn’t help but smile back, even though her words stirred something bittersweet within me. The truth was, these last few weeks had been a small escape from the heaviness of my reality—filled with laughter and warmth that had been missing for far too long. Alice’s presence had remind
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW "I need to divorce him "
Alice stood up quickly, her eyes wide with alarm. “What is he doing?” she asked, her voice tense.“I don’t know,” I whispered, my mind racing as I moved toward the door. Panic surged through me. Despite everything Samuel had put me through, the sound of his voice—filled with fear—set off every instinct to run to him.The night had been quiet, filled with the warmth of Alice’s company and the shared memories of our youth. But all of that shifted in an instant when the door burst open, and Samuel stumbled into the room, his face pale and panicked.“Anna, please,” he gasped, his eyes wild as he moved toward me. “I need you to talk to Mrs. Edgewood for me. I didn’t mean it.”He spoke as if he were being questioned, but I hadn’t said a word. The room was frozen in silence, the only sound his frantic breathing and the pounding of my heart.I stood there, rooted in place, staring at him with a mixture of confusion and dread. What was he talking about? What had he done this time?My mind raced

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
