Claimed by My Ex's Father
1.8k Views · Ongoing · cici
I signed my life away in a hotel suite that smelled like expensive cologne and bad decisions.
Three years. Ten million dollars. One rule: be the perfect wife to my ex-boyfriend's father.
Arthur Sterling is cold, controlled, and old enough to know exactly what he's doing when he offers a desperate girl a contract.
He doesn't want love. He wants a transaction.
And I tell myself I can survive that—until the first time he touches me like I'm something precious instead of something purchased. Until he calls my name in his sleep.
Until Julian—my ex, the man I gave four years to before he traded me for a senator's daughter—sees me wearing his father's ring, and something breaks behind his eyes.
Now I'm trapped between a man who bought me and a man who threw me away.
One wants to own me. One wants to destroy me.
And the worst part? Arthur looks at me like I'm already his, and I let him.
