Everybody turned against her and hated her. This caused her to harden and only focus on work, so when she met a calm and loving man, she married him. She thought, peace at last, but she was wrong. Her husband turned out to be a psychopath who cheated on her with her staff, framed her for art forgery which made her a prisoner, stole her company and also sent her to a psychiatric hospital, claiming that she's unstable. This marred her even more and at this point, she had no one to save her. It was over. For the first time, she let the tears she had been holding in for years freely fall.

He was so possessive of her it confused her too because she couldn't understand why someone would care for someone as bitchy and hopeless as she was. Turns out the billionaire had secrets of his own. He wasn't there to care for her. He was there to seek revenge due to bad blood with her ex-husband. Too bad she got caught up in the mix. ~~~~~~~ "I know you were framed. I never believed your husband for once and since your cute little mouth is still running, you're clearly stable.” “Exactly! You have no idea how hard I've tried to convince– don't call my mouth little and cute again.” I glared at him and caught his amused smile as a response on time before it disappeared. “I'm sorry, I'll try not to, tigress. I want to help you get your revenge. Don't you want your husband to come crawling back with everything he stole from you?” My eyes narrowed at him suspiciously. "What do you want in return? What do you want from me?” “You. I want you.” He dropped the bombshell and I stilled, unblinking and unmoving. “You want me? But I'm married.” I replied back but he didn't so much as twitch. “I don't care. A little husband doesn't scare me.” WSA 2025 ~ Billionaire Romance Grumpy X Sunshine
