Forced to be with the Billionaire

Scarlett’s POV

“You may now kiss the bride,” the priest said.

I looked at the man who had barely spared me a glance four years ago.

My sister’s fiancé.

The man I once tried to impress with a red velvet cupcake.

The man I secretly crushed on for months.

And most importantly, my boyfriend’s boss.

Jasper Carrington.

He lifted the veil from my face with the kind of precision that made my skin prickle. His eyes met mine, cold, unreadable, and he leaned in.

“Don’t get the wrong impression,” he whispered. “I will never love you.”

He smirked, pulled my face toward his, and kissed me.

The kiss was nothing like the ones I shared with Edward. It was calculated, controlled. Public.

And when I pulled back, my gaze landed on Edward, my boyfriend, staring at me from the front row with hatred burning in his eyes.

That was the moment everything crumbled.

Scarlett White, the youngest daughter of David and Emanuela White, was never supposed to marry Jasper Carrington. That was her sister’s fate.

But when secrets, power, and legacy collide, Scarlett is thrown into a marriage that was never meant to be hers, caught between a man who won’t love her, a boyfriend who now feels like a stranger, and a family willing to risk everything for a merger.

She thought she knew heartbreak.

She had no idea.
