Shattered Vows The Billionaire's Cruel ContractChapter 1

When my family went bankrupt and creditors chased me into a corner, the poor boy I once looked down on had become a new darling of the business world.

Anthony Vance looked down at me from above. "Layla Sullivan, be my mistress, and I'll pay off your debts."

I didn't hesitate. I signed that humiliating agreement.

After we met again, I was no longer spoiled and willful.

He brought his fiancée to humiliate me. I lowered my head and poured their wine.

Even when he doted on her right in front of me, I would only smile faintly, turn, and leave.

I became the obedient plaything he wanted.

But when I finally paid off the debts and was ready to leave, he grabbed my wrist like he'd gone mad. "Who said you could leave?"

"Layla, did you stop loving me a long time ago?"

Rain curtained the deep alleyways of Harborview City, droplets cracking against brick walls.

I curled up in a muddy corner, trembling.

The fresh cigarette burn on my forehead still sizzled, pain drilling into bone. A little "gift" from the debt collectors.

"Miss Sullivan, if you can't pay tonight, next time we burn your face."
