The soft rays of the morning sun filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a golden glow across the room. I stretched lazily in bed, savoring the warmth of the covers and the smell of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air.

Somewhere down the hallway, faint bursts of laughter echoed—a sound that filled my heart in ways I could never fully explain.

“Mommy!” a sweet, high-pitched voice broke through the tranquility.

I turned just in time to see a small blur of auburn curls barreling toward me. My daughter, Chloe, climbed onto the bed with a delighted giggle, her hazel eyes sparkling with mischief. “Mommy, Daddy’s being silly again!”

Hot on her heels was her twin brother, Caleb. He shared her curls but had Nicholas’s sharp, gray eyes—the kind that seemed to see through everything. He scrambled up beside her, his grin so wide it threatened to split his face. “Mommy, Daddy said we could have pancakes with chocolate chips today!”

My heart swelled as I pulled them both into my arms

  • CONVENIENT VOWS WITH THE BILLIONAIRE    PROLOGUE

    I slowly opened my eyes, the sterile white light of the hospital room blinding at first. My head felt heavy, my entire body disconnected from the bed I was lying on. Panic and confusion hit me as I tried to make sense of my surroundings. How did I end up here, in a hospital, of all places? I tried to recall what had happened, and immediately fragments of the morning's events began to piece together.I remembered being at my hotel room, immersed in the usual chaos of preparing for legal cases, but today I wasn't myself. This morning started with a persistent cough that I had quickly dismissed as just stress, though it was the first time it felt this bad. It had been six months since I'd been dealing with this persistent cough that wouldn't go away, no matter how many medications I'd taken. Back then, I thought it was because of the winter season. The cough came with other symptoms, ones I had brushed off as nothing.But this morning, the discomfort grew, twisting into a painful tightne

    ISABELLA'S POV The sting of his words was unbearable, but I refused to break. “You bastard,” I hissed, my palm connecting with his cheek in a loud, satisfying slap.“Isabella Sterling!” My father’s voice thundered, his control finally slipping. “Enough of this childishness! You’re humiliating us!”I turned to him, my eyes blazing. “Humiliating? If anyone should be ashamed, it’s your precious soon-to-be son-in-law and your despicable daughter!” I pointed at Christabella who sprang up from her chair but mother held her hand and signaled her to sit back."So you're claiming we aren't married?" I turned to Daniel, whose hands were still soothing his cheek. "Then explain this" I slammed the financial report to his chest. "Explain how you've been taking huge amount from my law firm. Explain what you've been doing with my 10 million" I could see the confusion on everyone's face."What? Don't tell me you've been using my hard end money to plan your marriage to my sister?" Daniel snorted an

    ISABELLA'S POV The night went by. The birthday party continued and the mysterious man was no where to be found. Frustration and exhaustion weighed down on me as I left to the lodging area to a book a room. I couldn't go back to my apartment. Not with the overwhelming weight of Daniel's betrayal still hanging down on me. I needed space, a place where I could breathe without the ghost of our marriage suffocating me.Taking out my black card, I walked to the front desk "A room for the night, please" The receptionist smiled warmly and took the card, swiping it. The second stretched between us and when she glanced up at me, her expression had shifted. "I'm sorry, Ms. Sterling but it's been declined"My eyes grew wide. "I- what do you mean declined?" My voice wavered but I tried to hold on to my composure. "That’s impossible, Try it again."She glanced at the screen, her brows furrowing "It's not going through. Perhaps there's an issue with your bank"I felt the ground tilt beneath me. H

    ISABELLA'S POV "You have stage 2 heart failure, caused by a condition known as cardiomyopathy. Based on the tests we ran on the medicine you submitted…” He paused, as if searching for the right words, “…the medication contains toxic substances. Given what you’ve shared about taking them for years, they’ve caused significant damage to your heart.”I stopped listening. The rest of his words blurred into the background. Stage 2 heart failure. Toxic medicine. Damage. My heart. The only thing ringing clear was the truth: Daniel had done this to me. He had poisoned me while pretending it was to help me get pregnant. My mind spun with disbelief, a sickening, gut-wrenching feeling wrapping around me like a vice, making me want to throw up.As the gravity of his words sank in, the room spun. It felt surreal as if I were watching my life unfold from a distance. All those years of hope, of yearning to be a mother.How could he?The doctor’s voice broke through the fog in my mind. “You’ll need t

    ISABELLA'S POVThe rain lashed against the café window as I traced the rim of my untouched coffee cup. THREE MONTHS and Ninety days of trying every possible way to regain what Daniel had stolen from me. Three months of runing into locked doors, empty promises, and outright rejection.

    ISABELLA'S POV I was now seating inside Nicholas Montgomery's car, a big, heavy coat covering me up. My clothes had dried up a bit and so had my hair thanks to the heater that was on. Nicholas was seated beside me, his eyes fixed on the monitor before him."I heard you've been waiting for me" He broke the long silence between us."Yes," I let out a breath, rubbing my palms together to warm myself up. Nervousness wreck havoc inside me, the thought of Nicholas Montgomery seating beside me, ringing continuously in my head. I couldn't believe it. The country's most dangerous man is in the same car with me."To what do I owe your sudden visit, Ms. Sterling?" He demanded.Drawing in a deep breath, I steadied myself. This wasn't how I wanted us to meet- me in a pathetic state but it was time to act professional. "I'm here to ask for your help" I went straight to point."Help?" He raised an eyebrow and turned.

    ISABELLA'S POV"Now!"Nicholas' voice rang out cutting through the tension like a lifeline. Before I could process what was happening, his arms were around me, pulling me into the safety of his embrace.The gun Daniel was holding clattered to the floor as Nicholas's men, who had been pretending to work for Daniel, lunged forward. Their movements were swift like they’d been waiting for this exact moment. They tackled Daniel to the ground, pinning him there as he roared in frustration, his curses echoing through the room.Victor, always the snake, was quicker to react. His sharp eyes darted to the pile of documents he’d gathered, and in one smooth motion, he scooped them up and tried to flee from the scene until uniformed officers emerged from the shadows, guns drawn, their commanding voices booming.“Hands in the air! Drop the documents and get on the ground!”Victor froze mid-step, his face contorted with fury as he realized there was no escape. His gaze darted around, desperate for an

My heart thundered in my chest as I caught sight of the open expanse before me—a cliff, rocky and treacherous, with nothing but empty air beyond its edge. The chilling sound of the wind howling against the cliffs made me shudder.Then I saw him.Nicholas.He was standing at the other end of the cliff. Relief crashed into me like a wave, and tears immediately welled in my eyes."Nicholas!” I cried, my voice breaking as I tried to rush toward him but the cold barrel of a gun pressed against my temple stopped me in my tracks."Ah, ah, ah," Daniel's voice came. "Not so fast, Isabella."My breath hitched. Nicholas yelled from the other side of the cliff.“Isabella, stay where you are! Don’t move!”I froze, looking to him for reassurance.But then I took in our surroundings. There was no one else here—no police, no backup, just Nicholas on one side and Daniel, Victor, two of Daniel’s men, and me

I stared down the group of bodyguards standing in my office, their heads bowed in shame. “Your only job was to protect her. To make sure she was safe. And now you’re standing here—without her!”"Where the fuck is my wife?!" I roared, fury blinding every bit of reasoning.The lead guard flinched but managed to stammer, “Sir, we—there was a commotion. We tried to—”“Tried?” I slammed my fist onto the desk, making it shudder under the force. “You tried? Do you have any idea who you’re dealing with? Who you were supposed to protect?!” My mind was spiraling into chaos, painting horrifying images of what could be happening to Isabella. Was she hurt? Was she terrified? My stomach churned at the thought of her crying out for me, needing me, and I wasn’t there.I pointed at one of my men, my finger trembling with rage. “Lock them up,” I barked “I don’t care how you do it.

I, on the other hand, didn't care much.Life has been good—better than I had ever expected after Daniel was no longer a part of it. My law firm was now soaring to unimaginable heights. Cases came pouring in and with every victory on my part, my reputation as the greatest lawyer only grew stronger.It felt surreal sometimes, standing here in my designer gown, exchanging pleasantries with people who once doubted me, envied me, or outright hated me.

    ISABELLA'S POV The moment I stepped into Starlight Haven, I was struck by how different it felt. The familiar lobby, usually bustling with quiet elegance, was now glowing with a soft, romantic light. Flowers—white lilies and lavender roses—and pictures of me, lined the path ahead, their fragrance mingling with the faint scent of candles. My heart skipped a beat as my eyes followed the illuminated trail leading toward the rooftop.I took a deep breath, gripping my clutch tightly as I ascended the staircase. Each step seemed to echo in the quiet, heightening the anticipation swirling in my chest. When I reached the top, I paused.The rooftop garden has been transformed into something out of a dream. Strings of twinkling lights crisscross above, casting a magical glow over the space. An orchestra was nestled in one corner, their instruments gleaming as they played a soft, familiar melody.

Maybe, just maybe, she had come crawling back, realizing she still needed me. After all, she's head over heels for me.I rose to my feet, ignoring the ache in my bruised ribs, and followed the guard out of the cell block.

    ISABELLA'S POV I opened the door to find Christabella standing there, her expression a mix of nervousness and hope. She looked different—less polished, less poised. Her hair was pulled into a loose ponytail, and she clutched a small wicker basket in her hands like it was her lifeline. “Hi,” she said softly, offering a nervous smile.I crossed my arms, narrowing my eyes. “What are you doing here, Christabella? What do you want?”She hesitated, shifting on her feet before holding the basket out to me. “I, uh... I brought this for you.”I glanced at the basket and back at her, my brow arching skeptically. “A basket of what?”Her chuckle was uneasy “Dark chocolate with raspberry. I remember it was your favorite when we were kids, so I thought...you know, it’d be a nice gift.”I couldn’t help the incredulous laugh that escaped me. “So you just came here to hand me some chocolate?

The sound of birds chirping outside drifted in with the warm morning breeze. I blinked against the brightness, slowly stretching beneath the covers.It's been half a year since I woke up from surgery, since I felt Nicholas’s hand on mine and heard him whispered my name like I was his entire world. Since I realized that, despite everything, I was still alive.And not just alive. Thriving.I pushed the blankets off and stepped toward the window, my movements no longer hesitant or weak. The first few weeks after the transplant had been grueling. My body had fought against exhaustion, against pain, against the overwhelming weight of recovering.But Nicholas had been there for all of it. Every doctor’s appointment. Every sleepless night. Every moment of doubt when I thought I wouldn’t make it.Now, my reflection in the glass wasn't of a fragile woman barely holding
