**AMBROSE POV**

When I finally went back home, I felt defeated.

A part of me still had high hopes of winning Ben over, but once again she had rejected me and chose to push me away.

This feeling was eating me up from the inside, and the pain within was ready to consume me, and all I had to do was just accept it.

The hatred in Nolan’s eyes said it all.

It was clear that we had lost that bond forever.

I still wanted to make things right.

I brought the glass of whiskey to my lips as the pale amber liquid burned my throat.

Drinking myself into oblivion tended to numb the pain.

I lowered my gaze.

“I failed you, Katherine…you had only given me one task before leaving this world, and that was to take care of our son, Nolan, but I failed, and instead, I am the one responsible for his misery.”

A lone tear rolled down my cheek.

“Katherine…maybe things would be better off if I was the one who died that night. You and Nolan would have been happy without me.”

  • LOVE FOR SALE    Kidnapped

    BEN POV Maybe I had reached my breaking point this time around. The news about my adoption seemed to be making matters worse, and for a split second, I almost thought I had lost my damn mind. My grandfather’s words still cut deep, and they kept repeating over and over in my head until I had reached the peak of insanity. I sighed deeply and pulled out my phone. I wanted answers from my so-called mother, but I didn’t mean to be ungrateful; after all, they raised me and gave me this life. Nevertheless, it felt like I was never their daughter but just a charity case. Fuck it. I was going to do it. I was done playing safe. I dialed her number, and she picked up on the third ring. “Benedykta?” I smiled to myself. How could she pretend for so long? She was acting like a saint, blackmailing me to help my dad pay back the debt if I married Nolan, but little did I know that every single action was for their personal gain. I was nothing but a mere puppet in their game.

  • LOVE FOR SALE    The contract

    BENEDYKTAAll my choices have always been monitored by society, and whatever I did didn't shy away from the media.Being the oldest kid of the Rebels made my life only difficult.As the only girl in the family, I've always vowed to work hard and prove that I was capable of handling the company better than my brothers.Let's just say that I wanted to be the first choice.In the family, nothing really gets handed to you, especially with my grandfather around; he's probably the one guy you need to impress, and I plan on doing that.There was a knock on the door, and I sighed deeply, keeping my gaze on the work I was typing."Come in."A few seconds later, Monica walked in holding a few folders in her hands as she slowly made her way towards me.I adjusted my reading glasses."What do you want?" I snapped.I hated being disturbed while I was working.My personal assistant looked timid, and it makes me wonder what I saw in her the day I chose to hire her.She placed the documents on the ta

  • LOVE FOR SALE    The one night stand

    *AMBROSE*When Nolan took the liberty of inviting me to this club, I thought he'd at least accompany his old man and show me the ropes."You need to relax, dad; you've been handling the affairs of the company, and I don't even remember the last time you had an actual day off."He sounded convincing back then, and unfortunately, I believed him.I checked my phone again and found no message from him.He was supposed to be here an hour ago, and I just haven't found the guts to leave this bar yet.I tried his number again, but it was going straight to voicemail, so I decided to order a drink.I might as well suck it up and enjoy the night while it's still young.I've worked hard all my life just to make sure that my son had everything he needed despite his mother's absence.But my boy is sensitive even though he'd never admit it.I chuckled softly to myself."Is this seat taken?" A woman's voice asked, and I turned around to find a young woman.Brown chocolate hair and piercing blue eyes

  • LOVE FOR SALE    The engagement

    *AMBROSE* I hurriedly got dressed in the car and tucked the red thong into my pockets. I had a feeling that I was going to meet that woman someday and I'd personally return this to her."Are you at the bar?" Nolan asked curiously and I could tell that he was upset.I groaned deeply."Firstly, I deserve an apology, son, because you ditched your old man. I waited for you for hours, and you never even bothered to call or text to let me know that you weren't going to make it."Nolan remained silent."Okay I'm sorry for not informing you, but please don't tell me that you're at some random hotel with a woman in your bed."I chuckled softly."Actually, I'm in my car and the woman sneaked out while I was asleep."Nolan scoffed in annoyance."Eww, dad, I'm hanging up. Just meet me at your apartment. I've already bought your suit."I hung up and began driving to my apartment. Twenty minutes later, I arrived and spotted Nolan's car in the driveway.I went to the living room and found him stari

  • LOVE FOR SALE    My father in law is hot

    *BENEDYKTA* *FOUR HOURS EARLIER*I let out a yawn when I realized that it was morning, and I was stark naked in the arms of a complete stranger.I smiled to myself because he was still passed out from last night's events, and I couldn't blame him since we went all night long making love.I placed a kiss on his cheek, and he groaned deeply but kept his eyes closed.A part of me didn't want to abandon him, but what happened between us was just a one-night stand with no strings attached.I gathered my clothes and began to get dressed, but I couldn't find my panties anywhere, and I really wanted to leave before he woke up.I ditched them, got dressed, and with a heavy heart got out of his car carefully without making a sound. Soon enough, I was back on the road in my own car.My phone began ringing, and I fished it out of my purse and put the call on loudspeaker since I was driving.It was my grandfather, and I wondered what he wanted this time because he had clearly done enough damage t

    *AMBROSE*When Ben finally found an excuse to slip away from the crowd I took a gulp of the champagne hoping that it would calm me down.My emotions were all over the place and it was because of this woman.I still couldn't believe that she was the same woman I had an affair with last night.I swallowed hard and Nolan approached me with a smile.He already looked smitten with Ben and it was going to break his heart when he learned the history between Ben and I."I thought you'd like her" he muttered quietly and I gave him a puzzled look."Ben?" I asked curiously and he nodded in response.He took the glass of champagne away from me."You tend to drink too much at social events when you're stressed out."He turned to look at Ben and when their eyes locked she blushed.Fuck.Nolan turned to look at me and I forced a smile."What's there not to like about her? She's pure perfection and I want is best for you son. If she makes you happy then I'm happy as well."Nolan still didn't look con

  • LOVE FOR SALE    I dare you

    *BEN*I sighed with relief when Nolan cut in because I was on the verge of crying.What was I thinking last night? Asking some random man to just kiss me.Gosh we didn't even use protection last night and I haven't taken the pill yet.Once we were outside I released the breath I was holding and blinked away the tears."Did my father say something to you?" He asked in a worried tone.I shook my head negatively and remained silent and a lone tear rolled down my cheeks shamelessly.His words cut through me.I let out a shaky exhale.I'm not making the same mistake I made years ago.I'm not letting a man have that kind of power over me. He can't control my emotions. I wasn't just some random gold digger he picked up last night.It felt like it was something more and I was stupid to think that he felt the same way.Clearly I was nothing but a mere petty stop.One night he's being passionate and the next morning I'm met with a complete opposite stranger.I quickly wiped it away."Ben."I

    *BEN*It was all smiles for the family when Nolan and his father bid us goodbye and after they were gone my grandfather turned to look at me with a scowl on his face.I crossed my arms over my chest."What were you thinking, Benedykta?!" He yelled furiously.I stared at him in disbelief."What have I done? I'm selling my dignity just to make you richer. What else do you want?" I kept my gaze on my mother and she looked away with guilt.Serves her right."You came home drunk knowing that you could potentially ruin this engagement and I won't let you ruin my plans."I scoffed in annoyance."I'm all doing you a fucking favor by marrying a man I don't even love so you should all be fucking grateful."My grandfather raised his hand to hit but my mother held him back stopping him.I smirked."Are we resolving to violence now?" He remained silent.I already knew my answer.I grabbed my car keys and left the mansion while my grandfather kept calling my name.This is why I moved out.I could

  • LOVE FOR SALE    Just Ben

    BEN POV Everything else finally made sense. I was never their granddaughter; for years, they chose to keep the truth from me. Even if I was abandoned, where were my biological parents? Tears continued to roll down my cheeks. “Is that why you’ve always been harsh toward me? You never loved me because I was never your blood, and I finally understand you always treated me like an outsider.” My grandfather sighed deeply, removing his glasses. “No,” he muttered firmly. Our eyes locked in a frenzy. “You don’t get to turn the tables… Benedykta, because this family took you in, and I personally ensured that you always had the best. You went to one of the best elite private schools in the country, and I made sure that you went to Germany for college. I did everything for you, and yet you’ll always be ungrateful.” His voice was laced with bitterness.I sniffled softly. “I never asked you to adopt me… I never fucking asked you for this lavish lifestyle. All I ever wanted was

    BEN POV The moment he finally left, I slumped to my knees and broke down crying. Why was I this way? I don’t know why I couldn’t just tell him the truth and get this over with, but something held me back. I broke out of my thoughts when I heard my phone ringing, and when I checked the caller ID, it turned out to be Clay. I wiped my tears and sniffled softly before answering the call. “Hey.” He remained silent from the other end of the line. “Ben, why are you doing this to yourself? He was right there with you… that man truly loves you, and I know that he won’t abandon you, but please stop pushing him away.” I sobbed bitterly. “I’m sorry, I just couldn’t tell him the truth… but it’s probably selfish of me to do this. Maybe this is for the best because I’ll be leaving the country in a few days.” He sighed deeply. “Ben, I know that you’re upset right now, but don’t make any drastic decisions… Besides, do you really want to leave your best friend behind? I can’t let

  • LOVE FOR SALE    The labyrinth

    AMBROSE POVI hadn’t heard from Nolan since the wedding was canceled, and ever since that horrible incident, his cellphone has been switched off. It was the same thing with Ben; she never answered any of my calls, but at least I had peace of mind because she was in the company of her best friend. I was just glad that she was safe.I was having a cup of coffee in my apartment when my phone began to ring. I fished it out of my pocket, placing the device to my ear. It was Matteo.“Hello?”“Ambrose, how are you holding up?” he asked in a worried tone.I sighed deeply. “Well, I’ve lost the two people I love. The only thing keeping me sane is the damn company.”“Well, I had warned you to stay away from that girl the moment you knew who she was,” Matteo taunted, and I rolled my eyes.“If you have nothing better to say, I am going to hang up.”“Wait, don’t hang up…I called because I have news about Zane Gray.”Upon hearing his stupid name, my whole mood dampened. “What did you find out?”“Wel

  • LOVE FOR SALE    Selfish

    BEN POVI was done with this damn family. I was done being the sacrificial lamb. This time I was going to live my life on my own terms, and no one was ever going to tell me what to do. Once I finally stepped outside, I took a calming breath because I didn’t want to start crying in this hospital. I ran my fingers through my hair. “Benny.” It was my dad’s voice. I turned around and found him watching me. “Did Grandpa send you here with another warning?” I taunted quietly and crossed my arms over my chest. He shook his head negatively. “No, I came here on my own actually because I wanted to make sure that you’re okay.” I stared at him in disbelief. “Does it look like I’m okay? You just stood there and let Grandpa call me a prostitute all because I fell in love with someone else.” He sighed deeply. “He could have used less harsh words, but just know that your grandfather cares about you and he’s just devastated by how the wedding went.” I rolle

  • LOVE FOR SALE    Not a Rebel anymore

    BEN POV I had begged Clay to drive me back to my apartment, but he refused to let me spend the night alone, fearing that I would do something crazy—and he wasn’t wrong. Clay lived in a two-room apartment in town, and a part of me felt like I was invading his privacy. He went upstairs as I sat on the couch, looking around his apartment. It had been a while since I had come here. I gave him a small smile. “Thank you for letting me crash here, Clay.” He wrapped his arms around me. “Hey, don’t mention it. Besides, you are welcome to stay as long as you want.” Clay was the nicest human on the planet, and he was stuck with me dealing with my issues. I was truly a bad friend. He propped himself beside me, sighing deeply. “You’ve been awfully quiet for someone whose wedding got called off.” I rested my head on his shoulder. “I just feel relieved that I won’t have to marry Nolan under false pretenses, and I wanted to come clean about my affair with Ambrose, but this i

  • LOVE FOR SALE    Roses are red

    NOLANI felt so stupid for not seeing the signs. I should have noticed the way he constantly stared at her; maybe I would have saved myself from feeling this heartbroken. I left my car behind and found myself aimlessly walking as the world around me continued to burn in chaos. My own father had betrayed me in the most unthinkable way, and of all women, why did he have to choose Ben? Why her when he knew how much I loved her? I still couldn’t get that nasty scene out of my head. Cars blared past me, and at this point, I honestly didn’t give a fuck because the media got all the drama that happened at my wedding on camera. I was already a dead man. “Nolan, please stop.” I could hear him calling me from behind, but I didn’t dare look back. He wasn’t worth forgiving. Fuck him. When he eventually caught up with me, he grabbed my arm, and I spun around, punching him in the face. He staggered back, holding his face as his eyes met mine. I swallowed hard. “S

  • LOVE FOR SALE    Losing my boys

    BEN POV I had imagined this moment way too many times in my head, and at each conclusion, the end results were always the same. No one supported my relationship with Ambrose. The world called me a homewrecker, and Nolan had lost his father because I couldn’t keep my legs closed. My family had disowned me, and worse of all, my grandfather had cut me off from the family business. My efforts of becoming CEO of New Way Group went down the drain, and to top it all off, I was pregnant, constantly battling with the guilt that continued to consume me. I broke down, crying as my worst nightmare came to light. My mother stared at me in disbelief and she began to slowly walk towards me. She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out, and I shook my head sternly, praying that she wouldn’t question me about the paternity of the baby in front of everyone. Instead, she grabbed my arm painfully as tears rolled down her cheeks. “I know that you never wanted to be in this contract marr
