ELIZABETH & SEBASTIAN

Introduction
I stared at the man in front of me. Sebastian Shelby. The billionaire. The man every woman wanted. “$50 million? For just one week?” I asked, my voice trembling. My family was drowning in debt, thugs were throwing my mother out of our house, and my brother needed surgery. I had no choice.
“I need an excellent job, and we might need to get intimate for it to look real,” he said, his eyes scanning my body like he was buying a piece of furniture. “Do as I say, and the money is yours.”
I signed my life away. But I didn't know the deal included his dying mother forcing us to get married in a hospital room. “I will marry you,” I whispered, holding back tears.
On our wedding night, he threw six duvets at me. “Sleep on the floor,” he commanded coldly. “This isn't a real marriage. Outside of this house, we don't know each other.”
I thought I could handle his coldness. I thought I could handle his secret girlfriend, the famous actress Alex Stone, who pointed a gun at my chest and warned me to stay away. But then came the night I forgot to lock my door.
I woke up to a dark figure looming over me. I screamed and bit his finger hard. The lights turned on. It was Sebastian. His eyes weren't cold anymore. They were dark with hunger.
“I can smell you, Elizabeth,” he whispered, pinning me to the bed. “Your whole body is begging me to fuck it.”
I tried to push him away. “Sir, please... I'm a virgin.”
His hand froze. The shock on his face was undeniable. “You have never been with a man?”
Everything changed in that second. The contract was about to be broken...
Chapter 1
ELIZABETH’s POV
“What are you doing, can't you see she's an elderly woman?”
I got home and saw some thugs throwing our things out, and one pulled my mother.
“Well, maybe if you pay your rent then we wouldn't have any problems.”
One said to me from behind he looked like the boss so I just rolled my eyes.
It was a small town, and some of the houses there had faults, if it wasn't a broken window then the shower wasn't working or the power supply had been cut off, but the pay wasn't much so we didn't have much rights to speak.
‘How could I have forgotten about the rent?’
I thought quietly to myself.
“What are you waiting for bring out everything and lock the door”
The thug boss shouted at his boys.
“Sir, please, I beg of you to give me one week, please, I promise to pay you.”
“You are begging me on your feet?”
I immediately went down to my knees and bowed my head, tears dropped from my eyes.
“Elizabeth, what are you doing?”
My friend Felicia came down from a cab and saw me on my knees, she immediately ran towards me, dragged me up, and wiped off my tears with her scarf.
“Girl, what's wrong?”
I explained everything to her and she brought out money from her purse and gave it to the thug boss.
“What are you doing, Felicia?”
“It's fine Elizabeth I just received my two months' salary so I can spare.”
She smiled at me and she helped us bring our things back into the house. My mum was in tears, so I took her into her room and put her to sleep. And I walked back to Felicia.
“Felicia, thank you so much, I'm more than grateful right now”
I said with a big smile on my face, Felicia had always been a good friend to me, she was always there for me whenever I needed her even when I lost my father, she stayed with me and my family for 3 months, and just looked after us.
We got into my room and sat on the small bed that could barely hold us. The house had two small rooms, my mum and brother stayed in one, and I stayed in the other. I didn't have money to waste on curtains so I used my mother's wrappers to cover the windows.
“Felicia, I need help, please, I beg of you, anything, I'm ready to do it”
“Didn't you collect your salary for this month?”
Felicia asked without hesitation then I told her that I already collected advance payment from my 4 jobs, just to get what to eat at home and also for my brother's medication, and now I had nothing.
“I'm so desperate right now, I'm seriously tired of going back and forth, it feels like the whole universe is against me.”
“You know what, I will try and talk to my boss for you, maybe he can arrange something for you.”
“That would be great, Felicia.”
“Now, please, stop crying, such beautiful ocean eyes should not shed a tear.”
“Oh, please.”
I said and smiled while she wiped my tears.
“Maybe, just maybe things might have been better if only you had agreed to date my boss.”
“You mean Ashley? The same “boss” of yours that always has used condoms all over his office in his club?”
“First of all, it is a bar, and yes that same Ashley.”
She bowed her head in shame and laughed. She also knew that her boss was very promiscuous.
“Do you need me to come with you to the bar?”
“Not at all. I will go alone, you just wait for my call.”
It was almost 6 so Felicia left for work. I stayed in my room and prayed to get good news from Felicia that evening.
I decided to sleep a bit, and when I woke up it was almost 8.
I went to the kitchen to prepare something for us to eat.
“Aunty, you have been sleeping, are you fine?”
“I am fine, Samuel.”
My little brother came out of the toilet and saw me. He was 15 years old, and he looked smaller than his age because of the disease he had.
‘Oh, lord if not for anything else then at least for my brother's sake, I can't lose him too, please, this disease has already taken my dad.’
I thought.
My phone rang and I quickly went to pick up the phone, and it was Felicia.
“Fingers crossed.”
I said to myself before I answered the call.
“Elizabeth, I have wonderful news.
Her voice was shaky but I was rejoicing already.
“My boss said a man told him he needed a girl for seven days but he also said he wasn't sure what he needed her for.”
“What? Seven days?”
“Yes, seven days, as in a week.”
“Do we know who this man is? And I need to be sure what he needs a lady for.”
“My boss is keeping him anonymous for now, he said when we meet him we would recognize him immediately, you said you could do anything, so let's meet the man first.”
“When?”
“Tomorrow.”
I wasn't convinced but I’d say I was ready to do anything and I was.
I ended the call, finished cooking, and we all
ate. I went to bed to sleep.
The next morning as early as 8, Felicia was in my room dressing me up.
We got to her bar at exactly 10 am.
Her boss, Mr Ashley, looked at me and smiled.
“His driver will be here by 11, so sit and relax.”
He said to us, how could I relax? I was so nervous.
It was time and a car came to pick me and Felicia up, I had never seen such an expensive and big car before.
We got into the car and it took us to a hotel.
I held Felicia's hand and we followed the driver to a room, he told Felicia to follow him and they left me in the room.
I was so scared the room was so big and the designs were to die for, the saint of vanilla flavor perfume filled the room and a deep voice came from behind me.

I Loved You in Silence, You Betrayed Me in French
At my birthday party, my husband whispered to his mistress in French that he missed her. His voice was low, but I heard it all—the black lingerie, the bit about how pregnancy makes you more sensitive. His French clients around us were laughing. He turned and put his arm around me, claiming he was just helping his clients come up with sweet nothings.
He doesn't know I understand every single word. Just like he doesn't know that inside my body, I'm carrying his other surprise. And his mistress—she's pregnant too. Two wombs, one secret.

When I Disappeared, He Regretted It
The moment the screen lit up, my entire world came crashing down.
The woman on the bed was Calista - that girl who grew up with us since we were kids. And that hand caressing her skin was wearing the wedding ring I had personally put on Matteo's finger.
"I've missed you so much..."
"You drive me crazy, baby..."
Those sweet words I knew so well completely destroyed me.
Everyone said we were the perfect couple, but who knew this marriage was built on nothing but lies?
Since he's so good at acting, I guess it's time I gave him a show of my own. I'm going to make sure everyone sees what this "perfect husband" really is...
He Thought I'd Never Leave
When he said he was being bullied, I believed him. When he kissed me on that rooftop, I thought he felt the same. When he asked me to transfer schools with him, I said yes without hesitation.
Then I heard him bragging to his friends: "She'd save her first time for me. Hell, she'd still be thinking of me on her wedding night."
The bullying was staged. The kiss meant nothing. He just wanted me gone—so his new girl could feel more comfortable.
He thought I'd beg. He thought I'd cry. He thought I'd never actually leave.
I left the country.
And ran straight into his stepbrother.
Bury Me in His Regret

Later, they locked me in the basement. Drugs to delay labor were pumped into my veins over and over. Zachary wanted to save the "firstborn son" status for his sister-in-law's child.
When warm blood finally soaked through my skirt, I dialed the number I knew by heart with shaking hands.
"Zachary," I whispered into the phone, "our child... can't wait any longer."

Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
