I stared at the man I married as he broke my heart bit by bit.
"Riley, I came home to no food or any type of loving welcome and you're telling me about reading Myra a story?"
My lip trembled, "you hardly spend time with her as it is, why can't you do this one thing for your daughter!"
He looked at me and grabbed his Givenchy tailored jacket as he started heading towards the bedroom door. "Where are you going?" I anxiously asked.
After Myra was born Richard became a different person. He no longer acted as the loving person I once knew. Who am I married to?
Follow Riley through her journey as she learns the essence of when love lasts.

The Revenge Wife
COMPLETE Let me make this crystal clear, because you don't seem to understand," he said, his voice deceptively calm, but laced with venom. "I paid for you to be my wife. That means you do what I say. You're mine now." He flicked a check toward me, and it fluttered to the ground between us. I couldn't look away from him, though my chest tightened in panic. My hands shook as I fought back tears, refusing to let him see me break. But he wasn't finished. "What did you expect?" he scoffed, eyes narrowing. "This is what gold diggers like you get. Money has a price, and now you're paying yours. Enjoy it, wife." Without another word, he turned and walked away, leaving me standing in the massive, empty living room-speechless, breathless, and drowning in disbelief. I never expected this. © MaryRose 2018.

The Playboy CEO (SAMPLE)
(The full version of this book is available on Webnovel!) "Do you see this?" I held up a card between my fingers. Jason looked at the card, then back at me, confusion clear as day in his eyes. "What is this?" "A wild card, obviously," he shrugged, looking like he was about to tell me to get to the point. All in due time. "Obviously," my smile probably looked sarcastic, like I was making fun of him. Jason had no business being fussy with the position he was in. "Take a look at your surroundings, my love. The situation you find yourself in is less than ideal, and I'm the only one who can save you," I was done being the hurt one. The one who was always left behind. "Now tell me again. What is this?" "A wild card." "This is what I am to you right now," I put the card down on the table and slid it towards him. "And whether it wins or loses the game for you is your move." ~°~°~°~°~°~ An accidental marriage. A drunken mistake, or a premeditated plan for revenge?
