How it all began: Billionaire's forced wife Have I ever told you how much I love you?
Sophia 4 months later To say that my life in the past couple of months was anything less than a fairytale would be a complete and notorious lie. That’s why I had no intention of uttering such blasphemy. Because it was exactly that – a life I never dared to imagine. Kieran was the most wonderful husband a woman could wish for; he was caring and gentle, loving and thoughtful, and he was all mine, unconditionally. Just as I was his. To say that I didn’t enjoy the pampering and all the attention Kieran showered me with would also be a lie. I absolutely loved it! I loved every cuddle and every kiss. I loved every breakfast in bed and every late-night snack hunt he went on for me. I loved how he knew my every thought as if he was reading my mind, and I loved how there were no more ominous storms in those beloved grey skies trapped in his eyes. To say that Kieran was a totally different man would be a lie, too. Yes, he was open with me, and I was sure he didn’t lie or hide things from

This is how it all began It all began when a person I trusted betrayed me in the worst possible way, resulting in me losing my job. It all began when I got home early and stopped my sister from making the biggest mistake of her life. It all began with a slap. It all began with a hand wrapped around my neck. It all began one day in March when I met him. It all began when I met Kieran King. The man that changed my life completely. It all began with the hate I held for the man that blackmailed me into marriage. It all began with hate that slowly, without me noticing, turned into love… unconditional and undying love for the man that stormed into my life, turning it upside down.

A/N: Dear readers, If you have found my book, I want to ask you to stick with it for a while because the way it starts might be confusing, but it has a perfectly good explanation, and everything will be clear soon enough. Promise it will be worth it. Love, O.W. Sophia The chills from the cold car window pressing against my forehead shot through my entire body and gave me exactly what I needed: they kept me on high alert. Being alone with a man in the taxi after what happened just a few hours earlier, no matter the current circumstances, demanded my full attention in case a need to defend myself arose again. The turmoil wreaking havoc in both my mind and soul kept distracting me and pulling me away into a place I shouldn't be, making it hard to keep focus. From time to time, I'd peel my eyes from the passing scenery to cast a quick glance in the rearview mirror, wanting to make sure the driver’s eyes were directed to where they were supposed to be – the road in front of us. I was w

Sophia 8 hours earlier “Sophia,” the intercom buzzed with my boss’s voice. “Are the reports ready?” “Yes, Uncle. I’ll bring them right over.” I answered, already up from my seat. I grabbed the financial statements from the desk I had prepared earlier and headed to Mr. Saunders’ office. After a slight knock on a door, I pushed the handle and walked in – a well-practiced move I’d been repeating for more than two years. Sparing a quick glance at the 60-year-old sitting behind the grand mahogany desk, I approached him with the documents he asked for. I spent the last few days summarizing daily reports into a monthly one per his request, as I did every couple of weeks. “Here you go, uncle.” I offered him folders, only then noticing Mr. Saunders’ frown. “Is everything all right?” Rare were the occasions when I saw him frown, and it got me worried about whether he was OK. I got to know Mr. Saunders pretty well since I started working at his restaurant, so naturally, seeing him distress

Sophia No, this was impossible! If life was playing some sick joke on me today, it was time for it to stop before I collapsed under its weight. I hadn’t had time to properly process being almost raped not so long ago, only to come home to this? Not only did my sister try to off herself, but she was pregnant, too. The room around me started spinning as the ringing in my ears reached its maximum. I stared at Ellie’s angelic face and her deep blue eyes, not really seeing them from the thick veil of tears that clouded my vision. I wanted to speak, but I had no control over my tongue; my mouth felt like they were stuffed with cotton. “Sophia? Please, say something.” Ellie’s words snapped me out of the awake coma I had slipped into. I blinked frantically, trying to soothe the rising flood in my eyes while I could do nothing about the one in my chest. My heart turned into a ticking bomb, getting ready to explode at any second. I took one more precious moment to be quiet and accept what

Sophia I was completely flabbergasted, not having the slightest idea how to handle the information Ellie had just served me. What was I supposed to do? What was I supposed to say? My mind hit reverse, and I was sliding down the mountain slope at a deathly dangerous speed. I clenched my jaw, trying to direct my rage at it, hoping that the pain I caused myself would stop me from reacting inappropriately. After all, I didn’t want to scare her. She was in a delicate condition, and a wrong word could push her over the edge. “There! I knew you would react like that. I knew you would be disgusted.” Ellie was on the verge of tears. “No! No! Look at me!” I ordered. “Never say that again. You’re my sister, Ellie! I love you, and nothing can change that. No matter what you do, I will always be here for you. You can never ever disgust me. Got that?” It was the truth. I would die for her. Repulsion was never an option. “Now, tell me everything.” I had millions of questions and millions of thi

Kieran “Clara,” I called out for my secretary’s attention. “Cancel everything for today.” Knowing better than to ask questions, Clara confirmed with a curt nod as I continued towards the elevator that took me to the underground garage where my trusted SUV waited. It was the first time since I took over as CEO of the corporation that I could not focus on my job. Letters and digits were fluttering in front of my eyes, and the light on the screen was trying to gouge them out. My brain felt like mush, making it hard to think and be productive. After hours of pointless effort, I realized I needed to unwind the pent-up whirlpool of rage and despair that had been brewing in me for the last few days, knowing well that if I continued to ignore it, it would wreck me from the inside. Leaving the King Enterprises building in the rearview mirror, I got lost in replaying all the wrong moves I made and how they led to where I was now – the place where the relationship with my only brother was han

How it all began: Billionaire's forced wife Home
SophiaMuch to my dismay, I spent an entire week in the hospital, even though I felt better after a few days. I suspected Kieran had something to do with it since doctors were ready to release me to recover at home. But I didn’t mind it, as I perfectly understood why he did it. There wasn’t anything but pure worry about my well-being in his actions; he only wanted to be sure I was all right.After all the walls between us came tumbling down like they were made of sand, Kieran and I formed a connection on an entirely new level. There were no more secrets and half-truths, no more lies.My husband never left my side during the seven days I was bedridden. He hovered over my every breath and flinched at every sigh I failed to hide. Some other me, me before him, would’ve probably gone mad from all the fuss he was making, but I? I loved it! I enjoyed every second of it, and I didn’t want it to end.Was I ever scared that he would change back to the man he was when I met him? Cold and demandi
How it all began: Billionaire's forced wife Confession
SophiaWhen I woke up fairly rested, in pain and still not remembering how I ended up in the hospital, pregnant nonetheless, I demanded the answers Kieran owed me, but a more important thing came up. Doctors needed to check on the baby as soon as I was awake, and I had nothing against it. What’s more, I wanted to make sure she was OK.Yes, some inner voice whispered into my ear that it was a girl, and I believed it, while Kieran strongly protested, claiming he was sure it was a boy, though I could see a smile in his eyes that he tried to hide.Nurses rolled in the ultrasound machine, and a doctor I hadn’t seen before came in too. After a few quick questions I answered to the best of my knowledge, the nurse helped move the hospital gown up to reveal my belly. The gel they applied on my skin was unpleasantly cold, but Kieran’s hand that took hold of mine made my nervousness disappear as if it was never there, and all that was left was anticipation to see what the ultrasound would show.

Sophia“Kieran?”As I laid in bed, unable to get up properly, a thousand thoughts ran through my mind. What the hell was he thinking, standing there, watching me like a hawk? I hated that unreadable facial expression of his, the one he mastered to annoy me when I couldn’t figure out what was going on in that damn head of his.“Did you know about this?” My voice was a mere whisper, but the twitch of Kieran’s eye meant he understood me perfectly.Finally, he moved and came to sit beside me. “The doctors informed me earlier.”Then it hit me.Kieran couldn’t have kids! I could recall the day when he told me the truth to the last detail; every word spoken, every emotion they awoke. I knew how Kieran felt about his condition, how haunted he was, and how much strength it took him to talk with me about the option for us to start a family. And now this?How was this possible? How was I pregnant? Were we this blessed to have a baby conceived the natural way?Was this why Kieran was so grim and

SophiaBam! Bam! Bam!What the hell was that noise?Beep! Beep! Beep!Swoosh… tap, tap, tap.Four different sounds were distinguishable even though they were simultaneous, but I couldn’t make out the murmurs in the background, no matter how hard I focused. They stayed far away and unreachable, taunting me, frustrating me.Why was it dark?What happened to the light?I tried opening my eyes, but it seemed like the hardest task in the world; my lids were too heavy to lift.A storm of confusion raided my mind and the noises! Oh, they drove me crazy!Where was I?Another loud bang resonated around me, this time much louder; my ears were hurting from its potency, but every reaction failed me, and I started to panic. What was happening to me?The beeping sound picked up its pace, pushing my panic into overdrive. I wanted to move, to run away from it, but my legs wouldn’t listen to me.That’s when I became aware of the pain.It hurt... My arms, chest... back, feet, even my damn hair hurt!I
How it all began: Billionaire's forced wife Growing pains
KieranFree of the desperation that broke my body and mind, I ran through the hospital, aiming for the rooftop. Security stopped me from entering the elevator, so I tried the stairs, but they caught me on the second floor, delivering a message from my brother to stop acting crazy.Though Philip was right, I’d reconsider the new CT scan donation I promised to the director.Two guards led me to the waiting area, and moments later, a nurse exited a room and came straight to me.“Mister King, our best team of doctors is with your wife. They’re doing everything necessary to make sure there are no hidden threats to her health.”Barely comprehending what the brunette was saying, I headed to the room, but she stopped me, blocking my way.I pulled my hands into fists, directing the fury for the woman into them. Should I kill her right now?As if she could read my mind, she cast her eyes down to the floor, trying to hide from my murderous intentions. but still didn’t move.“Sir, I can’t let you
How it all began: Billionaire's forced wife What matters the most
Kieran“Simon,” I said as soon as I laid my eyes on Philip.“Already called him. He’s on his way.” He was on the phone. “And I have the captain on the line.”Good. With how much money I donated to the Police Department just this year, the President of the fucking country should be on the line!The only thing that kept me from succumbing to the despair that lurked around me in the shadows of my rationality was Sophia.She needed me sane now more than ever, and I couldn’t afford to fall apart.“Yes!” Philip nodded as if his interlocutor could see him. “All right, Captain. Keep me updated.” With that, he cut the call and focused solely on me.“The highway is blocked, and the pursuit has visual.”We were standing in the hospital parking lot where he rushed to meet me, assuming he didn’t want me anywhere near his wife, who had just given birth and witnessed her sister being abducted.And he was right.If I looked half of how I felt, I for sure didn’t appear as anything less than a monster.
