Trapped in a Secret Marriage with a Dangerous Billionaire

“Where do you think you are going with those bags?” Xander interrogated as soon as he cornered her. “Of course, I’m leaving you!” She said, standing her ground, despite the fear in her eyes. “Why?” “You forgot to mention how dangerous you were.” Xander let out a deep throaty chuckle. “Sweetheart, you didn’t ask.” “I don’t care! I don’t want to be a part of this anymore!” She insisted. Xander shook his head. “Too late. We are already married. You now belong to me, and divorce is out of the question.” — Aurora Swift’s world shatters when Owen—her boyfriend of five years—breaks up with her via text.

A Heartfelt Congratulations

In the dimly lit dining room, Aurora carefully placed her wine glass down, watching as Xander moved his injured shoulder slightly while reaching for a glass of water. It made her brows knit in concern.

"Are you really going to the wedding tomorrow?" she asked, her tone soft but worried. "With your shoulder not fully healed… you know you shouldn't be doing anything to strain it."

Xander offered a reassuring smile. "I'll manage. I won't be lifting anything heavy or making vigorous movements. I promise."

She didn't look entirely convinced. "I don't need any activity causing more pain in that shoulder. But it's obvious that you won't be able to avoid it." Sighing, she added, "Who knows how many handshakes you will have to give."

Xander replied, setting his glass down, "I can't avoid the handshakes, but I can make them subtle. Also, I'm Owen's uncle, and I have to show up since my aged parents won't be showing up."
