Today was supposed to be my wedding day. The D-day, the big day—whatever people liked to call it. For me, it was meant to be the happiest day of my life. Our life. But to the likes of me, happiness was nothing but a cruel illusion. The groom, Clyde Monroe, wasn’t waiting for me at the altar. Instead, the ruthless, calculating billionaire—known for his icy demeanor and unmatched power—was on one knee before someone else. Someone who was supposed to be dead. His ex-girlfriend. As the truth unraveled, so did the fragile threads of the life we were building. Betrayal, grief, humiliation—I felt it all. Clyde’s haunted past, one I had only glimpsed, was now ripping apart the fragile illusion of the bond I thought we shared. The truth? I was nothing more than a pawn, a random babymaker caught in a game I never signed up to play. My name is Margaux Olsen, and I am his unwanted bride.
View MoreMargaux’s POV.“You’re a fucking what?” his voice resonated inside this room. I was afraid of what he might do to me. Thinking it would be an embarrassment being a virgin, I started getting up. Yet, his hands pinned me gently.“Fucking shit!” he cussed again, but this time, he was grinning. He was smiling, and his eyes turned even more satiating. “S-sorry, I didn’t tell you sooner,” I murmured while avoiding his gaze. But he held my head and tilted it back to where he was, “Are you kidding? The more reason I want to take you!”Hearing his words, a hot feeling eroded inside me, and the wetness between my legs continuously produced. “I can’t promise I’ll be gentle all the way, But at least getting inside you, I will, woman!”I nodded quietly and began to unbutton my lace blouse. What the hell is wrong with me? Am I this horny? Desperate? Or did he put me under a spell?I know I’m not an easy woman, because for more than two decades, I preserved my purity. But why? Why am I giving
Margaux’s POV.Oh god! Come on, Margaux! What are you even doing? Get the hell out of here!Remove his hand and walk away. “Walk away..walk away!” I repeatedly repeated it to myself, but my effort was just in vain.His hand, his reflex, everything about him was faster than I could ever be. The next thing I knew, his perfectly proportioned body was towering above me. And I was helplessly beneath him. My waist was locked in between his muscular thighs. Oh no! What should I do? I tried wiggling my arms so I could have my way out, but he pinned both my arms above my head with his left hand, and started tracing my face using his right hand. He cupped my chin and tilted my head to the right and sniffed my neck and pecked it. W-what is he doing? Is this really happening? Oh no! Why am I letting him?“S-sir, I…you must have been mistaken. I am not–” but he put his finger on my lips, closed it then trace it. “Shh, don’t talk. Just be quiet and everything’s going to be okay,” he said bu
Margaux’s POV.What Victoria revealed kept circling in my mind. It was a heavy feeling I felt on the way back home.The moment I stepped into the penthouse, the memories came rushing back—uninvited, like an old wound that hadn’t quite healed. The coldness in the air, the silence that wrapped itself around me, was eerily familiar. I felt it in the pit of my stomach, a tight knot of tension, just like that night I met him.***(A night with a stranger)I had been drinking, alone in a high-end bar–the one my parents used to love before they passed away. Today was their death anniversary, and I was trying to numb the pain that had festered inside me for years. Mom. Dad. There’s never a day I don’t miss the both of you.It didn’t matter that they had been gone for over a decade—losing them had been the kind of loss that never truly went away. They had been my world, my anchors in a foreign country where I had no other family to turn to. After they died, I was alone. No one left to ho
Margaux’s POV.Clyde’s demand for an abortion kept me awake at night, gnawing at me like an incessant whisper. The coldness in his eyes, the calm way he insisted on it, made me feel like I was standing on the edge of a cliff, with no one to catch me if I fell. He didn’t want this baby. He didn’t want anything to do with me or my future. And that realization hurt more than I cared to admit.But no matter how much Clyde pushed, I couldn’t bring myself to end the pregnancy. I wasn’t ready to give up on my child. I couldn’t let him make that decision for me. Not this time.It was during one of my sleepless nights that I found myself reaching out to Dr. Stone. Our conversations had started as awkward exchanges at the hospital, but over time, they turned into something more. Something genuine. She was the only person who seemed to understand me without judgment, the only one who listened without offering advice or pushing an agenda.***“Dr. Stone, over here!” I waved at her one af
Margaux’s POV.Beatrix! Beatrix! Her name sounded familiar but I couldn’t remember where I heard it!Clyde left last night without even glancing at me.I was left alone in this lonely penthouse his grandparents gave me. I had to go to the hospital but I didn’t even have the energy. “My wedding got cancelled, the father of my child doesn’t want us in his life…how worse could it be?” I sarcastically told myself. Soon, I realized my tears were flowing endlessly.I was having my moment when I unexpectedly received two notifications. My eyes widened when I opened the message saying, “I will send you $10 million dollars, get rid of that thing and start anew.”His message made me gnash my teeth. “How cruel…The audacity of this man!” I screamed deep inside. So I responded with two words to infuriate him, “HELL, NO!”I suddenly remembered the notification from my bank, so I pulled up my online banking and couldn’t believe what I saw. Indeed, he sent the amount he mentioned, and I had
Today was our wedding day. D-day, big day, or whatever term other people called it. In fact, it was supposed to be the happiest day of my life…our lives. And yet the groom-to-be was nowhere to be found.Little did I know he was on one knee in front of his supposedly dead ex-girlfriend when he should have been waiting for me at the altar as I walked down the aisle. Never I imagined that his haunted past would cause even the only thing we had to crumble before my eyes.***Margaux’s POV.Flashes of camera, buzzing sound from the paparazzi and anxious looks from the guests filled my eyes when I started walking down the aisle.My feet immediately stopped when I noticed one important piece was missing. “Where’s Clyde?” I asked the maid-of-honor the Monroes assigned for my wedding.“Beats me,” she just shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly as if she didn’t care at all. My eyes roamed this grandeur wedding plaza in search of him, but to no avail.My eyes were welling up, and my legs we
