"I built my business, my world, from nothing. Everyone thought I would fail, but I stood tall and showed them my worth and now they're envious of me. Imagine that! Me, Phoenix Mills, a woman to envy. If only they knew what I've been through to get where I am today. The hurt. The pain. They wonder why my walls are so high and hard to break but they don't understand what I've been through. They think I'm heartless but they're wrong. I'm just waiting for my knight in shining armour to prove he's worth my heart." Sterling Tyrell was everything. The World saw him as a hot shot CEO, a player, a ladies man and a sucker for a cute smile, but inside he was dead. His loneliness ate away at him every minute of the day, threatening to cripple the facade he had built. Nobody had been able to break through his defences but then he wasn't expecting the beautiful Phoenix Mills shaped tornado that crashed into his life. Will Phoenix and Sterling save each other or will their past demons keep them apart?
"Dad! Please stop.... I'm begging you," I sobbed uncontrollably. How could my dad do this to me?! I'm his daughter for Christ sake! I looked at him and all I could see was his desire to satisfy himself.
"Shut up, you whore. You're just like your mother. A conniving little bi**ch! Stay still and I'd be done with you in a while," he roared. I tried so hard to push him off of me but he wasn't having any of it. I was weak, defenseless; i was being preyed upon by my dad, someone who was supposed to protect me.
The deed was done.
When I finally felt him leave me, i thought it was over. I dragged myself to the corner of of the dark room, and cried my eyes out. A while later, the door creaked open and in came my dad with someone else behind him.
'Oh God, no...Not again' i said within me but I was more stunned at who was behind him. ALLEN!! Allen Martins-- my boyfriend. Was he here to rescue me? I wasn't done asking myself these questions when I heard my dad's horrible voice.
"Look who we have here. It's Allen! Aren't you excited?" I could see the dark intent in his eyes and how his lips curved into a devious smirk. Wait, what was he up to?
"Allen, please help me. Save me!" Allen scoffed at me. Why was i getting shocks today?
"Tsk, save you? Help you? Why would i do that? I think this is a very good opportunity to tell you this cause i never loved you, not even for a second. You were just a means to an end," he rolled his eyes at me with clear disgust in his eyes.
"Allen, why are you saying this? Did my dad put you up to this?" All the while my dad was having a swell time watching our squabble. I mean how terrible could someone be...
"No one put me up to anything. You deserve what you're getting, you low-life. I mean, who would date you? You're a weakling; you can't hold a candle against anyone,"
"Stop! Stop! Please...." Another round of sobbing began. He was right...
"Okay, enough of this. Let's get straight to business," My dad said to Allen and I saw the same devious smirk appear on his face.
"What? What business... What are you talking about?" Before I could stutter all my questions out of my mouth, I was being dragged to the bed in the dark room and another road of horrible deeds happened again..
Someone should kill me, please!!

And I woke up, gasping for breath and clutching at my throat. I sat up from my bed and clawed at my skin. I stood up and walked with rushed steps to the vanity mirror in my room, looking at my body from head to toe, I dashed into the bathroom and had a thorough bath.
After my bath, I changed into another of my pajamas and went back to my room. I looked at the time and it was just 4:30am, I heaved a sigh and sat on my chair, reminiscing about everything that had happened to me. For as long as I can remember, while growing up, I've had the same recurring nightmare but months ago, I started seeing my ex too in my dreams and it always ended horribly. Another sigh left lips...
Who am i? My name is Phoenix, Phoenix Mills. I know my name doesn't sound at all catchy but thankfully, I love it. I lived my name. If you know the story of the phoenix bird, and you know about my hideous past, you'd most definitely agree with me. I was molested by my father immediately he got custody of me in court. I was never allowed to see my mother, not even once after that. My parents got separated and I got the worse childhood ever. From age 8, I was molested everyday by my father. This was his way of venting his anger towards my mother on me. Long story cut short, I endured everything because I wanted to go to school and later have my revenge but that didn't mean that I didn't get affected psychologically by what he did; I was greatly affected. I hated the feel of boys' skin on mine. I tried to limit the contact to a minimum.
Guess what, now, I own my own company, it may not be an empire but I'm still working towards it. It was during the start of my company that I met Allen Martins; the man I thought was the one until 3 months ago
He owns her, He wants her, She saw something she shouldn't have, She thought she could escape him, Now he haunts her to the ends of the earth, He would make her life miserable, He would make sure she sees no one but him. "You are mine Alicia, I can have you whenever I want, you are my woman and I will be damned if I let another man touch you or even take what is mine" her. *** Alicia was dumped at the altar by her fiancee and she became a laughing stock to the whole town, she sought to take her life because of her pain but she stumbled upon something she should never have seen, now He haunts her. Even when she thought her life couldn't get any worse, she was forced to marry him.
"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word. I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached. "Where can I sign?" I asked since I had nothing to lose. *** Nadine's wedding dreams turned to nightmares when she caught her sister and fiancé cheating! With a secret recording, she's ready for revenge. But then mysterious billionaire Logan West offers a deal: A Contract Marriage to take down her ex's empire. But what Nadine doesn't know is her life is getting complicated as she takes her chance to get revenge or risks everything for a chance at love?"
I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ “I want to get a divorce, Mark,” I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time—even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

Everyone was shocked to the bones when the news of Rupert Benton's engagement broke out. It was surprising because the lucky girl was said to be a plain Jane, who grew up in the countryside and had nothing to her name. One evening, she showed up at a banquet, stunning everyone present. "Wow, she's so beautiful!" All the men drooled, and the women got so jealous. What they didn't know was that this so-called country girl was actually an heiress to a billion-dollar empire. It wasn't long before her secrets came to light one after the other. The elites couldn't stop talking about her. "Holy smokes! So, her father is the richest man in the world?" "She's also that excellent, but mysterious designer who many people adore! Who would have guessed?" Nonetheless, people thought that Rupert didn't love her. But they were in for another surprise. Rupert released a statement, silencing all the naysayers. "I'm very much in love with my beautiful fiancee. We will be getting married soon." Two questions were on everyone's minds: "Why did she hide her identity? And why was Rupert in love with her all of a sudden?"
