The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride Settling Into the Role
Elara had never felt more out of place in her life.The sprawling Blackwood mansion, with its towering ceilings and lavish decor, was a far cry from the modest apartment she had called home for years. As she stood in the grand lobby, taking in the marble floors, crystal chandeliers, and priceless art adorning the walls, she couldn’t help but feel like an intruder in someone else’s world.“This way, Mrs. Blackwood,” a stern-faced butler uttered, motioning for her to follow him up the sweeping staircase.Mrs. Blackwood. The title still felt foreign, like a role she was playing in someone else’s life. She wondered how long it would take before the name stopped sounding so strange.The butler led her to a suite of rooms at the far end of the second floor. “This will be your private space,” he explained as he opened the double doors, revealing a luxurious sitting room connected to a spacious bedroom. “If you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask.”“Thank you,” Elara replied, trying
The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride Adjusting to Married Life
Elara’s new life as Mrs. Blackwood began with a sense of overwhelming displacement.She had stepped into a world of privilege and luxury, a stark contrast to the life she had known before. Every corner of Damian’s sprawling mansion seemed to whisper of old money and aristocratic lineage—a world that felt as foreign to her as another planet. As she wandered through the corridors, each room more opulent than the last, Elara couldn’t help but feel like an outsider.Moving into the mansion was supposed to be part of the arrangement, a formality to solidify their public image as a married couple. But now that she was here, surrounded by this display of wealth and power, she wondered how she would ever feel at home. The mansion was stunning, with its marble floors, crystal chandeliers, and priceless art. But to Elara, it was also cold, impersonal, and daunting.She spent days exploring the estate, trying to familiarize herself with the labyrinth of rooms, salons, and galleries. The gardens,
The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride Shadows of the Past.
Elara sat down on her bed, tired of everything. She had tried calling Leah several times without success. Exhausted, she picked up her phone and dialed her friend Tessa’s number.“Hello, baby girl,” Tessa said, picking up her phone on the first ring. “How is married life treating you?” Elara sighed. She had to confess that everything was tiring.“It is tiring, Tessa,” she complained. “Everything.”“What’s wrong?” Tessa asked, sounding concerned.“Nothing. Everything still feels unreal. The jewelry, the designer clothes, everything,” she responded.“You know who you married, girl. It’s Damian Blackwood, the youngest billionaire and hot guy,” Tessa screamed, almost hurting her ears. “So many people think your marriage is loveless, given what happened between you and him in the past. I still can’t believe my friend married Damian.” Elara was silent. What others were thinking was right. They were right about their marriage. They both hated each other, but they didn’t have a choice but to
The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride Shattered Composure
“Who is he?” he asked, moving closer to her. He needed to find out what was really going on. The Elara in his memories was a strong woman who never bent to the will of others, but seeing her like this left him stunned. “Who?” he asked again. She wanted to open her mouth to speak, but words failed her. Fear had overtaken her as she shook uncontrollably.“Elara.” He touched her shoulders gently. “I think you need to calm down.”Damian tried to calm her down, but she couldn’t. She couldn’t control her feelings. Her fear and the memories she had tried hard to bury were crashing down on her. The weight was becoming unbearable as she struggled to breathe. Noticing this, Damian carried her out of his study.“Mr. Blackwood!” his butler called when he saw him rushing her out. “What’s wrong?”“Aiden, call the doctor!” he shouted. “Call Jack now.”“Yes sir,” Aiden said, pulling out his phone. He followed Damian and dialed the doctor’s number. “Hello, Mr. Jackson. Your attention is needed immedia
The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride A Rift Revealed
“When will she be able to wake up?” Damian asked, dropping his phone on the table in front of him.“That, I can’t say. Let’s wait and watch her.”“Till when?” he asked.“And you said there isn’t love between you two?” Jack raised an eyebrow. “I don’t believe that.”“I don’t care what you think, Jack. I don’t love her, and I will never love her,” Damian muttered.“Okay. You should stick to your promise,” Jack said, rising to his feet. “You both had an agreement and a contract for one year of marriage, right?”“Yes.” Damian wondered why Jack was asking this all of a sudden. “What are you asking me this for?”“Well, I can ask to marry her after your marriage contract is over,” Jack smirked. Damian clenched his fists. Was Jack trying to test him? He knew that he was in love with someone else.“You’re joking, right?”“Do I look like someone who is joking, Damian?“Without giving it a second thought, Damian responded, “Okay, do as you like. I don’t care.”“Really?” Jack inquired. “Are you s
The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride Lingering Questions
The soft beeping of medical equipment filled the room as Elara’s eyelids fluttered open. Confusion washed over her as she took in the unfamiliar surroundings. This was definitely not her bedroom. Where was she?As her vision cleared, she spotted a figure hunched in a chair beside her bed. Damian, usually well-groomed, looked disheveled, with tousled hair and a wrinkled shirt. Even in sleep, his face maintained its impassive expression, one that Elara couldn’t help but admire.She tried to speak, but her throat felt dry and scratchy. The slight movement caught Damian’s attention, and his eyes snapped open, instantly alert.“You’re awake,” he stated, his voice lacking emotion. Yet, Elara noticed a flicker of something—relief, perhaps?—in his steel-blue eyes.“Water,” she managed to croak out. Damian reached for a glass on the bedside table and helped her take a few sips.“What happened?” Elara asked, her voice stronger now. “Where is this place?”Damian’s jaw tightened. “My bedroom.”Sh
The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride Confronting the Matriarch
She stared at the phone in disbelief, frustration building inside her. Damian’s abrupt dismissal of her request left her feeling powerless and confused. She handed the phone back to Aiden.“Is there anything else I can do for you, Mrs. Blackwood?” he asked gently.She shook her head. “No, thank you, Aiden. You can go.”As Aiden left the room, Elara’s mind raced. Why was Damian keeping her phone from her?Unable to rest, she slowly pushed herself up and swung her legs over the side of the bed. She needed to move, to think. As she stood, a wave of dizziness washed over her, reminding her of her weakened state. She gripped the bedpost, steadying herself.Just then, the door swung open, and Aiden re-entered the room. His eyes widened when he saw her standing.“Mrs. Blackwood,” he said, rushing to her side. “You shouldn’t be up yet. Doctor’s orders.”Elara sighed as Aiden gently guided her back to the bed. “I just... I need to do something. I can’t just lie here.”“I understand, but you ne
The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride Shattered Facades
The atmosphere in the room was tense as Elara’s words lingered. Mrs. Blackwood was frozen, her face showing a mix of shock and anger. Damian, on the other hand, remained silent, his arm still wrapped around Elara’s waist.“How dare you!” Mrs. Blackwood finally sputtered, her voice trembling with rage. “You insolent little—”“Mother,” Damian interrupted, his voice firm. “I think it’s time for you to leave.”Mrs. Blackwood’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Damian, you can’t be serious. This woman—”“Is my wife,” Damian finished, his tone leaving no room for argument. “And as I said before, if you can’t respect her, you have no place in this house.”For a moment, it seemed as though Mrs. Blackwood might argue further, but instead, she straightened her shoulders and fixed Elara with an icy glare. “This isn’t over,” she hissed before turning on her heel and storming out of the room.As soon as the door slammed shut behind her, Elara felt her knees go weak. The adrenaline that had been fueling
