The billionaire forgotten bride
Chapter 1: The Wedding Betrayal
Emma Carter stood at the altar in a beautiful white dress, her hands trembling around a bouquet of roses.
The church was packed with guests, all waiting for the groom to arrive.
But he never came.
Thirty minutes passed.
Whispers spread through the crowd.
"Where is he?"
"Did he run away?"
Emma forced herself to smile, but fear was growing inside her.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated.
A message from Jason.
With shaking fingers, she opened it.
"Emma, I'm sorry. I can't marry you. Sophia is pregnant with my child. Forget me."
The world stopped.
Her heart shattered into pieces.
Jason had abandoned her on their wedding day.
Tears filled her eyes as the guests stared.
Unable to bear the humiliation, Emma ran out of the church into the pouring rain.
She stood alone, crying, when a black luxury car stopped in front of her.
The door opened.
A tall, handsome man stepped out.
Alexander King.
The billionaire CEO everyone knew.
His cold eyes met hers.
"Marry me," he said.
Emma froze.
"What?"
"I need a wife," Alexander replied calmly.
"You need a husband."
Emma stared at him in shock.
Why would one of the richest men in the country want to marry her?
Then Alexander handed her a file.
She opened it.
Inside were documents about her life.
At the top was a sentence that made her blood run cold.
"Subject has been under investigation for several years."
Emma looked up at Alexander.
"Why have you been investigating me?"
Alexander's expression remained unreadable.
"That's a story for another day."
