Beyond the Contract

"She's wearing white. Why is she wearing white? I'm supposed to be the only one. Make her stop, baby!" a woman whines at my husband-to-be.

"You have to change," Abraxas says, kissing her temple is a caring and soothing way.

"Eh, why? Am I not the bride?" I ask in confusion.

Little did I know, the wedding was only the beginning of a nightmare.

Despite knowing it was a contracted marriage, I still entered into it full of hope that Abraxas Harlow would eventually fall in love with me.

But after years of being treated as a slave and striving to perform as the Harlow family's 'good wife', I had enough. When I finally gathered the courage to ask for a divorce, Abraxas belittled me, and he thought my life would be a struggle without him.

But he couldn't have been more wrong. I am Anastasia, the billionaire heiress of the Jackson family, the most influential and powerful family in Pearl City. I am not just any Stacy.

Now that Abraxas knows my true identity, and he thinks he can win me back? Dream on!
