Married to the Heir A Friend’s Shelter
The city blurred through the taxi window, neon lights smearing across the glass like a distorted dream. Sienna had no idea where she was going. She just knew she couldn’t stay. Her fingers trembled as she clutched her phone in her lap, scrolling past Damien’s missed calls, each one another crack in her already shattered heart. Fourteen missed calls. Three texts. None of them said what she needed to hear. He hadn’t told her he believed her. He hadn’t begged her to come back. He hadn’t fought for her at all. And that was why she was leaving. Her vision blurred as she stopped scrolling and found the one contact that mattered now. Aria. Sienna hesitated for only a second before pressing call. The phone rang twice before a familiar voice answered. “Sienna?” Aria’s voice was sharp with concern. “It’s two in the morning. What’s going on?” Sienna opened her mouth to speak, but the words wouldn’t come. A broken sob tore from her throat instead. There was a sharp rustling on the
Last Updated : 2025-03-12Married to the Heir A Night to Forget
Damien Lancaster stepped into the dimly lit bar, rolling his shoulders as he took in the scent of whiskey and faint traces of cigarette smoke. Here, in this rundown place on the outskirts of the city, no one knew who he was. No one cared. And that was exactly what he wanted.He wasn’t Damien Lancaster, heir to the billion-dollar Lancaster empire. The cold, powerful family that built their fortune through ruthless business tactics, controlling the industry and everyone in their orbit. Tonight, he was just another guy, blending into the crowd, free from his father’s overbearing expectations and the weight of his last name.Dressed in a worn leather jacket, a black t-shirt, and jeans, Damien took a seat at the bar and ordered a whiskey. The bartender slid him a glass, and he took a slow sip, the burn grounding him in the present. That was when he saw her.Across the room, Sienna Brooks laughed, her warm brown eyes sparkling under the neon lights. Her wavy chestnut hair cascaded down her

Sienna groaned as the first rays of sunlight peeked through the curtains, stabbing at her closed eyelids like tiny daggers. Her head pounded—a reminder of the drinks she had downed the night before. She rolled over, sighing as she buried her face in the pillow, hoping for just a few more minutes of sleep.But then she felt it.The steady rise and fall of a chest beside her. The warmth of a body. The unfamiliar scent of expensive cologne mixed with whiskey.Her eyes snapped open.Lying next to her, tangled in the sheets, was Damien.Sienna’s heart nearly stopped. Flashes of the previous night came rushing back—the teasing, the way his deep blue eyes had locked onto hers, the way his lips had claimed hers without hesitation. The way she had wanted him, needed him, and how she had let herself get lost in the moment.Her gaze dropped to her bare shoulder, the sheet barely covering her.“Oh my God,” she whispered.As if sensing her panic, Damien stirred beside her. His arm, which had been
Last Updated : 2025-03-01Married to the Heir An unexpected encounter
Damien gritted his teeth as he stepped out of his car, his father’s voice still ringing in his ears.“You’re a disgrace, Damien. Running around like a common nobody instead of handling your responsibilities. You will marry who I tell you to marry, and you will not embarrass this family.”The anger pulsed through him, hot and consuming. His father had spent his entire life trying to mold him into the perfect Lancaster heir, but Damien refused to be a puppet. He didn’t want the polished, obedient socialite his father had chosen for him. He wanted to live his life.His grip tightened around his phone before shoving it into his pocket. He needed a distraction. Something—anything—to shake off the rage crawling beneath his skin.Without thinking, he pushed open the door to a small diner. The bell above the entrance chimed, the scent of fresh coffee and sizzling bacon wrapping around him. He barely noticed.Then his eyes landed on her.Sienna.The tension in his shoulders loosened as he watc

Sienna hadn’t expected to see him again.The man from that reckless night—the stranger whose name she hadn’t even known until this moment—was now sitting in her diner, looking at her like he had been expecting her all along.Damien Lancaster.She barely had time to process it before he smirked, his gaze locked onto her as if he had all the time in the world.“Mint chocolate chip,” he murmured, his voice carrying over the low hum of the diner.Her stomach flipped. He remembered.Sienna’s grip tightened around the notepad in her hand. “So, you do know how to introduce yourself properly,” she said, trying to sound unaffected. “Would’ve been useful the first time.”Damien leaned back in the booth, the very picture of effortless confidence. “Would it have changed anything?”She flushed, knowing the answer was no. That night had been impulsive, wild—a break from reality she hadn’t allowed herself in years.But now, reality was here, and it was staring at her in the form of Damien Lancaster.
Last Updated : 2025-03-09Married to the Heir A Deal with the Devil
Sienna wasn’t sure how long she sat there, staring at Damien like he had grown two heads.Five million dollars.That was the price of marrying him.It was the kind of money that could erase every hardship she had ever known. The kind of money that could pull her out of the endless cycle of struggling, working late shifts at the diner, and worrying about bills.And all she had to do was put on a ring and pretend to love a man who—if she was being honest—was dangerously easy to want.Still, the words refused to leave her mouth.Damien was patient. Too patient. Like he already knew what her answer would be. Like he was waiting for her to accept what they both knew—she didn’t have a better option.Finally, she found her voice.“You’re out of your mind,” she muttered, shaking her head.His smirk widened slightly. “So I’ve been told.”“This is insane,” she continued. “You don’t even know me.”“I know enough,” Damien countered smoothly. “I know you’re independent, stubborn, and a hell of a l

Sienna sat stiffly on the leather couch in Damien’s penthouse, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. The city skyline stretched behind her through floor-to-ceiling windows, glittering under the night sky, but she barely noticed. Across from her, Damien leaned against the sleek marble counter, a glass of whiskey in hand. He looked perfectly at ease, like he hadn’t just thrown a bomb into her life by proposing a marriage that wasn’t really a marriage. A contract. A deal. And yet, the weight of it settled on her shoulders like a burden she wasn’t sure she could carry. “You’re overthinking,” Damien said, watching her carefully. Sienna shot him a glare. “Excuse me if I don’t make life-altering decisions in five minutes.” His lips twitched in amusement, but he didn’t argue. Instead, he set down his glass, reached into the inside pocket of his suit jacket, and pulled out a folder. Sienna stared at it warily. “What’s that?” “The contract.” Of course, he already had it pr

Sienna had expected luxury, but this? This was something else entirely. The penthouse wasn’t just expensive—it was ridiculous. Everything was sleek, modern, and massive. The open floor plan stretched endlessly, floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the city skyline, while the marble floors gleamed under soft lighting. Her entire apartment could fit into Damien’s living room. Hell, her entire building could probably fit in here. She tried not to look impressed as she stood just inside the doorway, gripping the strap of her bag. “Welcome home,” Damien said, strolling inside like this was completely normal. Sienna arched a brow. “You say that like I have a choice.” “You did have a choice,” he reminded her, shrugging off his watch and setting it on the entry table. “And you signed a contract, remember?” She muttered something under her breath. Damien chuckled as he walked toward the bar in the corner of the room, pouring himself a drink. “Relax, sweetheart. I don’t bite.” Sienna

Married to the Heir Running Away
The city blurred through the windows of the cab as Sienna pressed her forehead against the cool glass, her heart pounding violently against her ribs. She had no idea where she was going. She just knew she couldn’t stay. Damien’s silence had been louder than any accusation. He hadn’t fought for her. He hadn’t defended her. He had looked at those lies—those carefully crafted images designed to destroy them—and he had doubted her. That doubt had shattered something inside her. She clenched her jaw, blinking back the sting of tears. Sienna Monroe had spent her life fighting to be enough. To prove herself. And she had sworn—sworn—she would never beg for love. And yet, here she was, feeling like she had been foolish enough to believe Damien would ever truly choose her. Her fingers curled around her phone, hovering over Damien’s contact for a single, agonizing second. Then she shoved it deep into her bag and turned away. She was done waiting for him to believe in her. She was don
Married to the Heir The Final Betrayal
The attack came out of nowhere. Sienna had barely taken a sip of her morning coffee when she noticed the tension in the air. Damien sat across from her at the kitchen island, his posture stiff, his expression carved from stone. He hadn’t spoken a word since she woke up, his grip on his phone so tight that his knuckles had gone white. Something was wrong. “Damien?” she asked cautiously, setting her mug down. He didn’t answer. Instead, he turned his phone toward her, his jaw clenched so tight she thought it might snap. Sienna’s stomach dropped. On the screen was a headline, bold and damning: “Lancaster Heir’s Wife Caught in Secret Affair—With Her Ex.” Her breath caught in her throat. Beneath the headline were pictures—intimate, incriminating. Sienna and Ethan. A hotel room. A dimly lit bar. The two of them standing too close. Ethan’s hand on her waist, fingers grazing her hip like they belonged there. And the worst one—Ethan leaning in, lips inches from hers. Her heart sl
Married to the Heir Fighting Back
Sienna had spent her entire life fighting to survive.She had clawed her way through hardship, endured sneers from people who thought they were better than her, and learned how to stand her ground in a world that wanted to tear her down.But this?This was war.And she wasn’t about to lose.The next morning, she and Damien sat in his home office, the weight of Richard’s latest attack pressing down on them. The fraudulent financial documents Richard had fabricated were dangerous—if anyone truly believed them, Sienna could face criminal charges.She flipped through the papers again, scanning the transactions. “We need to find out who created these accounts.”Damien nodded, his jaw tight. “I already have my best financial team digging into it. But Richard covers his tracks well.”Sienna set the folder down, exhaling. “If we just sit back and wait, he’ll keep attacking.”Damien’s expression hardened. “Then we don’t wait. We strike first.”Sienna arched a brow. “Do you have a plan?”He smi
Married to the Heir The Fallout
The storm hit faster than either of them expected.It started subtly—a shift in the way people looked at Sienna when she stepped outside, a whisper that followed her through the halls of the Lancaster Corporation when she stopped by Damien’s office. But subtle didn’t last long.By noon, the headlines had already spread like wildfire.“Gold-Digger Wife Ruins Billionaire’s Legacy”“Damien Lancaster Defies Family—All for a Woman Who Doesn’t Belong”“Lancaster Heiress or Scandalous Mistress? The Woman Destroying an Empire”Sienna stared at her phone screen, bile rising in her throat. The comments were worse.“She’s nothing but a social climber.”“She’ll be gone in six months, and he’ll crawl back to his family.”“Pathetic. She should know her place.”Her fingers trembled as she set the phone down on the kitchen counter.Damien stormed in moments later, his expression thunderous. “It’s started.”Sienna let out a hollow laugh. “No kidding.”He reached for her, his touch warm against her wri
Married to the Heir The Decision
The weight of Richard Lancaster’s ultimatum lingered in the air long after Damien returned home.As he stood in the dimly lit penthouse, staring out at the glittering city skyline, his father’s words echoed in his mind.“End this farce of a marriage, and everything that is rightfully yours remains yours. Refuse, and you lose it all.”Damien exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. He had spent his entire life preparing to take over the Lancaster empire, enduring his father’s impossible standards, proving himself time and time again. He had worked too damn hard to let Richard strip it all away.But he wasn’t going to lose Sienna either.A soft rustling behind him made him turn. Sienna stood in the doorway, her arms crossed over the oversized shirt she had stolen from his closet. Her expression was unreadable, but he could see the flicker of apprehension in her eyes.“You’re thinking about what he said,” she murmured. It wasn’t a question.Damien sighed. “I don’t have a choice.
Married to the Heir An Ultimatum from His Father
Sienna stirred in the early morning light, her body tangled with Damien’s beneath the silk sheets. His arm was draped over her waist, his breath warm against her bare shoulder. For a moment, she allowed herself the illusion of peace—the idea that the walls between them had finally crumbled, that last night had changed something fundamental between them.But reality had a way of creeping back in.Damien Lancaster was still the heir to a billion-dollar empire. And she was still the woman his family despised.She took a slow, steadying breath, trying to hold onto the warmth of his embrace before it slipped through her fingers.As if sensing her shift in mood, Damien’s fingers lazily traced along her arm.“You’re awake,” he murmured, his voice husky from sleep.Sienna turned her head to face him, her heart squeezing at the rare softness in his expression. This wasn’t the cold, guarded Damien Lancaster the world knew. This was the man she had glimpsed in stolen moments—the one who kissed h
Married to the Heir A moment of weakness
The video went live at exactly noon.Sienna sat in the Lancaster media office, staring directly into the camera as her voice rang steady through the live broadcast.“My name is Sienna Monroe, and I’m here to set the record straight.”No PR team spinning the narrative. No reporters twisting her words. Just her—facing the world on her own terms.She recounted the truth, laying it all out.Yes, Ethan had shown up at the gala. No, she hadn’t invited him. And no—she wasn’t having an affair. The so-called evidence was nothing more than a carefully manipulated setup, designed to destroy her reputation.And she made sure the world knew exactly who had the most to gain from it.“People like Richard Lancaster thrive on control,” she said, her voice unwavering. “And when they can’t control someone, they try to ruin them instead.”A calculated risk.Calling out Richard directly was dangerous. But if she was going down, she wasn’t going quietly.By the time she finished speaking, the internet was
Married to the Heir Fighting Back
Sienna didn’t remember leaving the gala.One moment, she was standing in front of Damien, heart splintering as he hesitated—again. The next, she was in the backseat of a car, staring blankly out the window as the city lights blurred past.Isabelle had been the one to pull her out of there.She had grabbed Sienna’s arm, whispered something about not giving the press any more to feed on, and led her straight to the waiting town car.Now, back at the Lancaster estate, the weight of everything pressed down on her like a crushing force.The scandal.The betrayal.The fact that Damien had looked at her and hesitated.Again.Sienna clenched her fists, pacing the length of the bedroom she and Damien shared.She had told herself she wouldn’t fight for him anymore.That she wouldn’t keep proving herself to someone who refused to believe in her.But this?This wasn’t just about Damien.This was about her name. Her reputation. Her life.And she refused to let Richard, Evelyn, or Ethan control tha
