Married to the Cold-Hearted Billionaire

Married to the Cold-Hearted Billionaire

Ebuka_Benedict
Elena Blake never imagined that her life would spiral into a nightmare of betrayal and secrets the day she walked down the aisle. Beautiful, smart, and fiercely independent, Elena thought she was marrying the man of her dreams — until her fiancé, Lucas Sterling, the enigmatic billionaire CEO, abandoned her at the altar with no explanation. Devastated and humiliated, Elena is left to pick up the shattered pieces of her life. Determined to reclaim her dignity, she vows never to be a victim again. But when Lucas unexpectedly reappears, cold and distant as ever, offering a mysterious contract marriage proposal, Elena faces a choice that could either heal her broken heart or destroy it forever. Lucas Sterling is a man shrouded in secrets. A self-made billionaire with an icy demeanor, he rules his empire with an iron fist and trusts no one. Behind his cold exterior lies a tragic past — one that forced him to close off his emotions and prioritize power over love. His reasons for jilting Elena are buried in shadows of corporate betrayal and family betrayal that threaten everything he’s built. Yet, beneath the surface, Lucas still feels the pull of the woman he left behind. The contract marriage is more than a business deal — it’s a chance at redemption, a desperate attempt to protect Elena from enemies lurking in the dark, and perhaps, a way to reclaim the love he lost. As Elena steps into this new life by Lucas’s side, she discovers a world of luxury, power struggles, and hidden agendas. Surrounded by ruthless business rivals, scheming family members, and dark secrets, Elena must navigate the dangerous game of wealth and influence. But she is no longer the naive woman who said “I do” that fateful day. With fierce determination, Elena fights to protect herself and her heart. Along the way, she uncovers painful truths about Lucas’s past — a childhood scarred by loss, a betrayal so deep it nearly destroyed him, and a secret baby hidden from the world. As they clash and collide in a tumultuous relationship, passion ignites in the cracks of their fractured trust. Together, they face challenges that test their fragile alliance. From boardroom battles to personal vendettas, Elena and Lucas must learn to trust each other — or risk losing everything to the darkness that threatens to consume them both. But love is never simple in the world of billionaires. As Elena unravels the layers of Lucas’s cold heart, she realizes that the man she thought she knew is much more complicated — and vulnerable — than she imagined. And in the end, it will take more than money and power to mend the wounds between them. Married to the Cold-Hearted Billionaire is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, revenge, and redemption — a modern romance that explores the complexities of trust, the price of ambition, and the healing power of second chances.

Reborn in Ash and Light: Book One of the Celestial Twins

In the final moments of their lives, Arthur—a hardened law enforcer—and Morgan—a fearless firefighter—make the ultimate sacrifice for others. But death is not their end. In a realm beyond life, they are offered a second chance by celestial beings from another world—a world in desperate need of heroes. With five wishes each and the power to create their own race, they are reborn into a land where magic pulses through the air like breath and every element holds ancient secrets. Reborn as Lucian and Laila, twin siblings born to a loving family in a humble village, they awaken in their new infant bodies with full memories of their past lives—and the wisdom that comes with them. From the very beginning, they are no ordinary children. Even in their first week of life, they begin developing powerful breathing techniques: Solar for Lucian, brimming with radiant energy and aggressive potential; Lunar for Laila, a serene and fluid rhythm drawing strength from stillness and clarity. As they grow in a magical world shaped by elemental forces and ancient bloodlines, the twins must navigate family bonds, village life, and the deeper call of destiny. They are not just children—they are the seeds of a new race, chosen to reshape the balance of power in a world teetering on the edge of chaos. But the world they now inhabit is vast and full of unknown dangers—arcane cults, warring kingdoms, forgotten gods, and ancient prophecies. Their gifts are both a blessing and a beacon, drawing the attention of beings far beyond mortal comprehension. Together, Lucian and Laila will rise—sun and moon, fire and shadow—shaping the fate of a world that has long waited for champions born not of its soil, but of stars.

Through this power, he eventually rose to become known as the 'king of hell' in the Naruto world.

Harem With Venom In Marvel/Dc

One day, I suddenly found myself in the Marvel Universe, inheriting a fortune worth tens of millions. A dream come true, right? But my excitement was short-lived because I knew what was coming—just a few years from now, the Mad Titan, Thanos, would snap his fingers and erase half of all life in the universe. Luckily, I wasn't entirely defenseless. I had a golden finger, a mysterious ability that allowed me to travel between worlds. But there was a catch. My so-called "cheat" had a twisted sense of humor—every time I escaped from one nightmare, I found myself in another. The alternate world? None other than DC, a universe filled with terrifying gods, unstoppable monsters, and vigilantes who could turn me into dust if I so much as looked at them the wrong way. With no godlike strength, no genius intellect, and no overpowered abilities, I had only one way to survive—cling to powerful figures, play my cards right, and master the fine art of eating soft rice (relying on strong women for protection). In a world of heroes and villains, where cosmic wars and multiversal threats loom over my head, I must navigate the chaos, build connections, and ensure that I always have a backer strong enough to keep me alive. Because if I don’t? Well, let’s just say that between Marvel and DC, there's no shortage of ways to die. plz support me if you can patreon.com/AZFANFICTION https://www.buymeacoffee.com/AZofficial This fanfiction is 90-chapter ahead and also this fanfic is 90 chapters ahead there
