Sophia Lin’s dream of independence and accomplishment become abolished when she is forced into an arranged marriage with Ethan Gray, a cold hearted millionaire and the founder of DaeVille. An action taken by her husband, Ethan Gray, prompts Sophia to take a step and break free from her bondage. Her road to independence leads her to Alexander Dolan, an handsome billionaire who happens to be Ethan’s business rival and Sophia’s secondary school mate. What started as a partnership quickly escalates into a romantic attachment. But Ethan is possessive, he wouldn’t lose what is his to anyone, much less Alexander. The choice falls on Sophia. With Ethan having a bonding leverage on her, Sophia is torn between following her heart while leaving a broken home in her wake or saving a marriage that could ruin her future.

The Billionaire's Undoing Chapter 16: Workings
For the first time in what felt like forever, Sophia felt light. As she stepped through the front door that evening, a genuine smile stretched across her lips—one that wasn’t forced, wasn’t just a mask to get through the day. It felt strange, unfamiliar even, but she welcomed it. The house was quiet, save for the soft humming coming from the kitchen. Carla. " Oh, Carla!" Sophia called in a sing-song manner, kicking off her shoes and striding toward the kitchen with an energy she hadn’t felt in days. The older woman turned, startled, then gasped dramatically when she saw Sophia's face. "Oh my stars! You’re smiling! I must be seeing things." She made an attempt of wiping her eyes. "Quick, someone call the priest, it’s a miracle!" Sophia laughed, rolling her eyes. "Oh, stop it.""No, no, no! I must record this moment!"Carla grabbed a wooden spoon and tapped it against the counter like a microphone. "Today, February something-something, our dear Sophia has smiled. And not just smi

"So… I heard something interesting, yeah? Figured I'd try it out on you."Alex’s voice held a mischievous edge as he lazily licked the side of his hand where his ice cream had dripped. He had already devoured the vanilla scoop and was about to dig into the chocolate layer.Sophia arched a brow but continued savoring her chocolate strawberry cone, gesturing with a nod for him to continue."In my company, we deal with loans and all that financial jazz, so I know quite a few things about the subject. And that made me suddenly think—" he paused for dramatic effect, a smug grin curling at his lips. "Wait… Sophia must be a loan because she has my interest."Silence.Sophia froze mid-lick, her tongue just a breath away from her ice cream. Her expression twisted into something caught between disbelief and horror, eyes narrowing in apparent disgust."Did you just…" She shook her head as if trying to clear an intrusive thought. "No, wait. Did you seriously just drop a pick-up line?"The proud s

Sophia didn't know how long she had been confined to the four walls of her bedroom. Time had become a blur, measured only by the shifting light that peeked through the curtains. She hadn't stepped outside since that night and hadn't even considered it. The world beyond her door felt too vast, too overwhelming—too dangerous.The only human interaction she had was with Carla, whose presence had become a lifeline in the suffocating silence. The woman had always been around, but never before had Sophia truly seen her for what she was—more than just "Carla the helper" who talked too much and had a personality too colorful for Sophia to handle.Now, Carla felt more like a guardian, a nanny of sorts, fussing over her, scolding her when she refused to eat, and hovering like a mother hen. And for the first time in her life, Sophia realized what true, unconditional care felt like.Carla didn’t offer hollow words of comfort or false hope. She didn’t try to sugarcoat things or tell Sophia that ev

"Oh, my dear. Oh, my God. Look at what he did to you," Carla whispered, rushing to Sophia’s side with tears brimming in her eyes. She crouched beside her, hesitating for just a second before cupping Sophia’s tear-streaked face in her hands. "I knew he was brutal and cold—but not to this extent. This is wickedness." Sophia sat frozen, her body trembling like a leaf caught in a storm.The weight of what had just happened crashed over her, suffocating and relentless. The sheets beneath her were damp with sweat, her skin marred with the evidence of Ethan's cruelty. Every inch of her ached—not just physically, but in a way that reached deep into her soul, staining it. Carla had heard the screams, she'd tried to help. Really tried.But she was just a house-help. Her eyes darted from the bruises forming on Sophia’s delicate skin to the broken shards of glass on the floor, the remnants of the chocolate milkshake she'd prepared and dropped. The room was filled with a suffocating silence, o

Sophia swallowed hard, her mind racing for an answer that wouldn't ignite his temper. But she didn't get the chance to speak. Ethan rose from the chair in one fluid motion, the muscles in his shoulders tensing as he closed the distance between them. "You didn't answer my question," he murmured, reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. The touch was deceptively gentle, but the steel in his eyes betrayed the storm raging beneath the surface. Sophia forced herself to hold his gaze. "I went out," she admitted, careful to keep her voice even. But within, she shook with fear. She didn't fully know who she was married to and his capability. The fight he had with Alex made her understand this.His hand trailed down the side of her neck, lingering just a second too long before curling around her throat—not squeezing, just resting there, possessive. "Out," he echoed mockingly. "And I suppose you thought I wouldn't find out where you went?" Her brows furrowed. "What do you me

"Your job..." Alex said, his voice steady as he walked down one of the long, glass-paneled hallways of Caldwell Investments. His polished black shoes tapped against the sleek marble floor, the sound echoing. The walls, lined with modern LED panels, displayed fluctuating stock prices, high-profile business headlines, and detailed analytics of ongoing investment projects. Sophia followed beside him, her eyes flicking across the sophisticated setting—tall, arched ceilings, a polished reception desk with a digital display, and employees in crisp suits moving with purpose. It was a stark contrast to what she was used to, and every step into this world felt surreal. "...is to convince those we term our 'Thomas Sponsors,'" Alex continued, leading her toward the main office wing. "You see, these people are...stubborn. And when I say stubborn, I don’t mean the usual ‘No, I can’t invest in your business because you’re not giving me what I want’ kind of stubborn. No. That kind can be negotia

Sophia stared at the phone in her hand, her mother’s words still ringing in her ears. 'Get rid of that thought.'Why did her mother have to make her feel...wrong?Why did she have to do everyone's heart desire while she ignored hers?Why did she have to obey and behave like a puppy?'Get rid of that thought', The words came again.Like hell she would. For years, she had listened. Obeyed. Did what was expected of her. She had been the perfect daughter, the perfect wife—silent, patient, enduring. But where had that gotten her? A loveless marriage. A husband who barely acknowledged her and cheated on her. A mother who valued wealth over her happiness. A life that wasn’t even hers. Sophia clenched her fists. The business card Alex had given her sat on the bedside table, taunting her, daring her to take the next step. She picked it up, her fingers tightening around it. 'You live in wealth, Sophia. How long will it take you to understand that?'Her mother’s voice echoed in her h

No one in the house found rest that night. Not Sophia. Not Ethan. The only one who had a decent night’s sleep was Carla. Buried under a mound of blankets in one of the guest rooms, half-naked with the air conditioner blasting, she was out like the dead. Not even an earthquake could have disturbed her peace. For Ethan, sleep was a distant dream. Lying on the plush couch in his study, staring up at the ornate chandelier that cast a dim glow across the ceiling, his mind worked relentlessly. His thoughts stirred over strategies, tactics, and countermeasures—ways to keep his house, his business, and his life in order. Because Alex had returned, found a way into his life once again.Alex—the one person who had been, and would always be, his greatest competition. In business, in status, in life. Ethan had clawed his way to the top, built his empire brick by brick, yet every time he turned, Alex was right beside him, rising just as effortlessly. The bastard never even broke a sweat.

Ethan lunged at Alex without hesitation, a storm of jealousy, rage, and possessiveness consuming him. His movements were swift, fueled by an anger so intense, it nearly blinded him. In seconds, he closed the distance between them, grabbing Alex by the collar and slamming him into the wall with a force that rattled him to the bones. "What the fuck are you doing in my house, you son of a bitch?" Ethan spat, his grip tightening like a vice. His voice was low, deadly. "You think you can just walk in here and ruin my life? Show your ugly face and destroy everything I've built? You think you can touch what's mine and get away with it?" With a violent yank, Ethan shoved Alex to the ground. Alex landed with a grunt but barely flinched, propping himself up on his elbow with an amused smirk. He wiped a speck of blood from his lip and chuckled darkly. "Some things never really change, do they?" he taunted, his voice laced with challenge. Sophia, caught between them, stood frozen in shock

Chapter 1: A wife indeed
"This is a total disaster!” Sophia exclaimed, slamming her phone onto the kitchen counter after closing the YouTube app. Her frustration radiated through the quiet morning. Every tutorial she watched made pancakes seem effortless, but after three grueling hours, she had little to show for her efforts. The kitchen smelled of burnt batter, and her once-exquisite apron was streaked with flour and grease.She glared at the misshapen lump in the pan. Is this even a pancake?The thought of serving this mess to Ethan made her stomach twist. Not that her husband had high expectations—he’d long since stopped commenting on her cooking skills—but she still felt the sting of his disapproval every time he scowled at her meals.With a resigned sigh, Sophia abandoned the pan and reached for the bread. Toast and tea again. It wasn’t creative, and it certainly wasn’t impressive, but it was safe. Ethan would grumble, curse the day he laid off the cooks, take a few bites, and request his tea be poured i...
