THE BILLIONAIRE'S CHOICEST

Melinda," Julie whispered conspiratorially, her eyes sparkling mischievously. "I have an idea. Why don't you get some sexy outfits for tonight? You'll drive Dag crazy!" Melinda's cheeks flushed with a mixture of excitement and apprehension. She had always been a more modest dresser, preferring classic and comfortable styles. The thought of venturing into the realm of sexy attire felt both thrilling and foreign to her. However, the sparkle in Julie's eyes was contagious, and Melinda found herself giving in to her friend's persuasive charm. Melinda and Julie were in a dress shop called "En Vogue," on a mission to buy a few dresses for themselves. They were surrounded by a world of colours, fabrics, and fashion-forward designs. Racks of dresses, blouses, and skirts adorned the space, each one promising to transform the wearer into a vision of style and grace. "Alright," Melinda replied with a smile. "Let's do it. Maybe it's just time to step out of my comfort zone." Emboldened by their newfound mission, the two friends delved deeper into the racks, hunting for the perfect ensembles. After what felt like hours of trying on different outfits, Melinda emerged from the dressing room, feeling excited. She twirled in front of the full-length mirror, the fabric of her chosen dress snug against her, accentuating her curves in all the right places. It was a daring choice for her—a sleek, form-fitting, sexy dress with an open back and front, revealing her cleavage. Julie gasped in delight. "Melinda, you look stunning! Dag won't know what hit him!" A wave of confidence washed over Melinda as she admired her reflection. She had always been comfortable in her skin, but now, in this dress, she felt like a queen ready to conquer the world. Later that evening, Melinda stood in front of the mirror, her heart racing with anticipation. The sleek, form-fitting black dress clung to her curves, accentuating her figure in a way she had never experienced before. She put on her heels and then paraded around the master bedroom she and Dag shared as if she were searching for something. After a while, Dag noticed her. "What the heck is this?! Your legs are so thin... and those breasts of yours, which you call 'breasts,' are damn irritating in your cheap dress, making you look like an old maid," he remarked, looking at Melinda with disgust. "What?!" Melinda was shocked by what she had just heard. She had tried to get Dag's attention over the past four months, but he didn't seem to be interested in her. Pleasing him had become increasingly difficult. Melinda and Dag were never close from the beginning of their marriage, but it was never as bad as this. Even though he bossed her around frequently and treated her poorly, the two of them had been intimate at times. However, for the last four months, there had been nothing of the sort. Melinda, 23, was the only daughter of Mr. and Collins and was forcibly married to Dag Willie, 26, against her will. Her parents had agreed to the Willie family's conditions when Melinda's grandfather, Matt, fell ill and needed financial help. Melinda's parents accepted the Willie family's offer to pay for Matt's hospital bills, but they didn't realize the agreement was for two billion dollars, not two million. Unable to repay the debt, the Collins family had to give their daughters in marriage to the Willie family. Dag and Melinda didn't marry for love but out of necessity. Although their marriage was not based on love, Melinda had developed feelings for Dag. Melinda felt sad at Dag's comment and was about to leave the room when she heard his phone ring. "Hey, love. I'll be with you shortly," Dag said, as he picked up the call. This was a common occurrence, and Melinda had grown accustomed to it. After saying those words, he would spend hours on his phone, paying little attention to her. Melinda often wondered who Dag was talking to, but she could only suspect it was another woman. Even when Dag was in the middle of something and his phone rang, he would stop and give that familiar reply - "I'll be with you shortly." Dag rushed out of the room to get himself a cup of coffee and then returned to sit on the sofa in the master bedroom. Melinda was about to leave the house when she remembered that her phone was in the drawer beside her bed. She returned to her room to pick it up. As she entered her room, she noticed that Dag's phone was on the bed. She wasn't initially inclined to check her husband's phone, but when she heard it make repeated notification sounds, curiosity got the better of her. She picked up the phone and was shocked by what she found. "What?!" Melinda froze in place as she looked at the phone. It displayed explicit pictures of a woman she recognized.
