I was finally getting discharged. The moment Daniel told me I was free to go, I spread my arms in happiness.

"Let’s hang out sometime later, beauty," Daniel said with a grin.

Jesse shot him a look of jealousy.

"All of us, of course," Daniel added quickly.

I laughed heartily. Over the past few days, we had gotten a bit closer. I turned to Jesse. "Why didn’t you introduce your funny friend to me earlier?"

Jesse smirked. "I was going to, in due time."

As I stepped outside the hospital, the fresh breeze hit me.

"Finally," I sighed. I never wanted to be stuck in one place again.

But just as Jesse and I were about to leave, I saw a face I hadn’t planned to see anytime soon.

My mother.

She rushed to me, pulling me into a tight hug.

“Bella, why didn’t you tell me you were in the country? I’ve missed you so much all these years. If not for someone reaching out to tell me you were around, I never would’ve known.”

Someone? Who was that? I was curious, but I didn’t ask her anything.

    As soon as I got into the back seat of the car, I collapsed into Jesse’s arms."Why doesn’t she love me?" My voice cracked as I buried my face in his chest. "Aren’t I enough for her?"A single tear slipped down my cheek, the pain clawing at my heart.Jesse gently wiped it away. "You’re more than enough," he murmured. "She just can’t see clearly."His voice was soothing, but the bitterness inside me only grew."She’s lost a diamond for a stone," he added, his tone darkening. Then, after a brief pause, he asked, "Should I handle her for you?"I tensed immediately. "No. No, Jesse."I had seen how he "handled" people at his headquarters. It never ended well. Death. Mutilation. Fear.I was angry—furious, even—but I didn’t hate her enough to let that happen."Just leave her," I said, taking a deep breath. "Let them suffer the consequences of their own actions."Jesse nodded, but I didn’t miss the calculating glint in his eyes.He wouldn’t touch her—but the business?He’d make sure it crumbl

    My vision blurred as I read through the words.The article painted me as a selfish daughter who turned her back on her struggling family, choosing instead to live in luxury under Jesse’s protection. It made it seem like I had never tried to support them, never cared for them, and now I was ignoring their desperate pleas for help.Worst of all, there was a direct quote from my mother:"Bella was always a difficult child. We tried our best to raise her with love and kindness, but she was never satisfied. She cut all ties with us. It’s heartbreaking as a mother to be treated this way after everything we did for her."I stared at the words, my hands shaking.Difficult child? Love and kindness?Was this woman serious?Who was she to make those types of statements in the first place? I felt like I was going to be sick.I scrolled further down, finding even more fabricated lies. My brothers had given statements as well, backing up my mother’s claims. They even went as far as to say I had st

  • Sold Myself to My Husband’s Rival   Chapter One

    As I scrolled through the pictures on my phone, a chill ran through me. The woman my husband had been seeing dared to send me photos flaunting their affair. I tossed the phone onto the bed, my heart felt as though it was on fire. It was early summer in Dexy city and the heater was turned on but I felt so cold at this moment. He had told me he was going on a business trip, but instead, he'd gone on vacation with her. I scoffed at the absurdity of his lie. From the very start, he had made it clear—he only married me because his grandfather had forced him, and I could have refused. Tears welled in my eyes as I whispered, "But I didn’t listen... I was so madly in love with you, Julius. I needed you. I wanted to escape my own home so desperately. I did everything a loving wife would, We had so many maids in the house but I always woke up very early to serve him his favorite tea. I would make him his best food whenever he was upset. But all of my efforts only earned me a frosty glance

    I woke up shortly again. I tried to sit up, but a piercing pain went through my stomach and drove me back down. Panic started as scattered memories of the attack tore across my consciousness. The cell. The knife. The chilly remarks of the woman. I looked down at my body expecting to see a bloody mess but I was bandaged up quite neatly. “You’re awake again.”I was jerked from my thoughts by a powerful, dominating voice. He was still sitting close to me. But this time around,he moved a bit closer, his violet eyes scanning me with curiosity. He looked very noble and elegant and there was something very alluring about him. “Who are you?” I croaked, my voice hardly a whisper.“My name is Jesse,” he said, pulling up a chair and sitting beside me. “I’m the one who got you out of that hellhole.”I stared at him, trying to piece together his motives. “Why did you help me?”Jesse’s lips curved into a faint smile. “Because you’re valuable to me, Bella. And because we have a common enemy.”Be

  • Sold Myself to My Husband’s Rival   Chapter Three (Julius’s Pov)

    It’s been three long years since Bella’s disappearance. I searched for her everywhere. I didn’t want to believe that she disappeared just like that. I despised her for the longest period. I loved Athena. Athena made me feel wonderful, she loved me for myself, and most importantly she was submissive and emotional. She praised me to the highs for the littlest of things. Bella, on the other hand, was always indifferent, she would cause problems all the time. And was very selfish. But for some reason, I had never felt lonelier since Bella left.I snapped out of my thoughts—I had a meeting with my business rival. Jesse Hart. He had wealth, power, and connections to the underground alliance, one of the most powerful alliances across the country. He had tried to snatch some of my business deals. But now, he suddenly reached out to me to collaborate. I wondered what he was trying to do now.I stepped into the meeting room, my eyes wandering as I observed my surroundings—until they landed o

    After we got back to the penthouse— We decided to have a drink in my room to celebrate the beginning of our plans. He sat on the edge of the bed, swirling the last of his drink in his glass, a smirk tugging at his lips. “You handled him well today. I'm proud of you,” he said, raising his glass in a faux toast. I took a slow sip, feeling the bubbles tingle on my tongue. “I wanted to hurt him badly the minute I saw him,” I replied, my expression neutral, though inside, I was still raging. Jesse chuckled and set his glass down on the nightstand. “Still, you played your part perfectly. But tell me, Athena… Do you still love him?” My body stiffened, and I blinked my eyes, my heart skipping. “That’s none of your business.” “I think it is,” Jesse said, his voice dropping, his expression changing slightly. “This whole plan depends on you keeping your emotions in check. If Julius still has a hold on you…” I felt the anger swelling inside me, but I pushed it down. “I stopped loving Ju

    I hardly had time to absorb the dread crawling up my spine before Julius crossed the room in two fast steps, right to where I was standing. His presence devoured the air between us; the room felt so suffocating. It had been so long since we were last alone, just like this.Before I could step back, his hands were already on me, gripping my waist with a sense of urgency that sent my pulse racing. His scent—chocolate and oud as always—I could smell it all around me, making it impossible for me to think clearly. Then, as he leaned in even closer, his lips brushed against my ear, his breath hot against my skin, sending an involuntary shiver down my spine.“Bella,” he murmured, his voice heavy with longing. “You don’t know how much I’ve missed you.”His words filled with suffering and hopelessness, coiled around me like a plea.“Come back to me. Please.”His lips wandered around my cheek before eventually finding mine—hot, urgent, and utterly consuming. It was a very demanding kiss… It did

  • Sold Myself to My Husband’s Rival   Chapter Six (Jesse’s PoV)

    She had lost consciousness.I had seen countless bloody bodies in my line of work. I had watched men beg for their lives, had stood over corpses without so much as flinching. But seeing her bleeding, so still in my arms, sent a fear through me that I had never felt before. A cold, paralyzing fear that tightened around my chest like a vice.I couldn’t lose her. Not again.Without wasting another second, I lifted her into my arms and rushed to the car. My men had already been dispatched, chasing after the car that hit her and fled. Whoever did this will pay.The second I got into the back seat, I pulled Bella closer, letting her rest on me. Her skin was growing colder by the second, her breathing faint.The car felt too slow. "Drive faste Luke!" My voice was intense, filled with barely restrained panic.Luke hesitated—a half-second of hesitation too long. "But sir, we’re already going way past the speed limit, what if—""You know what happens when I repeat myself." My tone was cold.Lu

    I gave a few instructions to my men before shutting the office door and locking it behind us. I turned to her, a smirk playing on my lips. “Didn’t you like the stares you got, my little slut?” My voice was low and teasing.Athena stepped closer, her hands immediately going to the buttons of my shirt, slowly undoing them. “I only like the attention I get from you, Julius,” she purred, looking up at me through her lashes.I grabbed her wrist, stopping her movements, my grip firm but not painful. “Are you sure?” I tilted my head, my eyes studying her face. “Because you seemed to enjoy seeing those foreigners stare at your breasts.” I scoffed, tightening my hold just a little. “They were probably fantasizing about having you in bed the entire meeting.”It doesn’t matter what was going on in their heads, does it now?” She continued unbuttoning my shirt, her fingers brushing against my skin. “What matters most is that I fully belong to you.”She always knew exactly what to say.

    I gripped the papers in my hands, my vision blurring with rage as I read the words over and over again.Pregnancy testBella pregnant – PositiveShe… she was really pregnant. For that bastard.A violent surge of anger rushed through me, and before I knew it, I was throwing everything within reach. The glass of whiskey on my desk shattered against the wall. Papers scattered. My chair slammed against the floor as I kicked it over."F*ck!" I roared, my chest rising and falling rapidly.How? How could she do this?I looked for her everywhere when she disappeared. And yet, she was now carrying Jesse’s child.My breath came in sharp, uneven gasps. The office suddenly felt suffocating, the walls closing in. I yanked off my tie, loosening the collar of my shirt, but it did nothing to cool the fury burning inside me.She was pregnant… with his child.I didn't care what I had to do. If getting rid of that child was the only way to have her, then so be it.After all, she had taken mine.So it wa

    Jesse had stepped out for some business, leaving me alone in the hospital room. I glanced around, taking in the luxurious surroundings. The soft glow of warm lighting, the fresh scent of flowers, the high-end furniture—this place truly lived up to its reputation as the best hospital in the country.Still, I was bored.Getting injured had never been part of my plan. I groaned in frustration. Just as I was beginning to lose myself in my thoughts, the door opened, and Jesse walked back in.I blinked. He looked… pleased. His expression held a faint trace of amusement, the kind that came from winning a fist fight or something like that. “Did something good happen?” I asked, curious.He leaned in slightly, his sharp eyes locking onto mine. “Nothing much,” he said smoothly. “Just got rid of a disturbing fly.”His proximity sent my heart into a wild rhythm. I was a ruthless businesswoman, a genius coder—yet somehow, when faced with Jesse, I turned into a shy, awkward girl.I cleared my thro

    In Julius’s Company…..Julius wore a suit, he was looking very sophisticated. He drummed his fingers against the desk, his patience wearing thin. "Where the hell is she?" As if on cue, the doors of the office opened. Two of his men entered, dragging a woman between them.Amanda, a nurse from the dexy rulan hospital, looked pale and shaken. "P-please, I didn’t do anything wrong, I swear—"Julius raised up a finger, silencing her. "Relax. You’re not in trouble—yet." His eyes turned to his men. "You’re certain, she works directly for the elite private ward?"One of them nodded. "Yes sir, it has been confirmed."Julius smiled, but there was no warmth in it. He gestured for them to release her. Amanda stumbled slightly but managed to steady herself."You’re going to do a little favor for me," Julius said, his tone smooth, almost casual. "You’re going to get a pregnancy test done for Bella. Secretly. I don’t care how you do it—lie, switch samples, make something up—but I want results."Ama

    Slowly, deliberately, Athena rose from her chair and stepped around the table. She didn't hesitate as she sat on his lap, pressing her body against his."I don't mind paying you in any way you’d like," she whispered, rolling her hips against him. She was wearing a skirt with no panties, she opened her buttons revealing her pointed breasts, then she stood up a bit and put his dick into her pussy. She started moving up and down. She started slowly then increased her speed. He said nothing, but his body betrayed him—his muscles tensing beneath her touch.She smirked, pleased, and continued. He let her do all the work, his hands remaining at his sides, never touching her more than necessary.The way he just sat there, indifferent yet still reacting—it infuriated her, but it also thrilled her.Then he finally released, his fluids filling her up insideHe raised hands and pinched her nipples till they turned red.

    When Luke brought in the food, Jesse took a spoonful and moved it toward my lips. I instinctively pulled back, shaking my head slightly.“I can eat by myself,” I protested.Jesse’s expression remained calm but firm. “Your arm,” he reminded me. “You can’t eat by yourself in this condition.”I hesitated for a moment, glancing at my injured arm. Before I could respond, Daniel, who had been watching with an unimpressed expression, muttered under his breath, "She can still eat with the other arm, you know."He let out an exaggerated sigh before coughing and saying, "Alright, I suddenly have a lot of work to do. I’ll be back later to run the tests."He had no plans of sitting through the unbearable display of affection. Being reminded of how single and lonely he was? No, thank you. Without another word, he quickly left the room.Jesse, completely ignoring his actions, continued to feed me. I eventually gave in, taking each spoonful without protest. After I finished, he took a few bites hims
