The Untamed 'Ugly' Bride: Mr. Sterling's Wicked GameThe Untamed 'Ugly' Bride: Mr. Sterling's Wicked GameAeliana Thorne Language: English18+ 1.2M wordsOngoingIntroductionSold off to a rumored disfigured, sadistic monster to save her golden-child sister, Celia Ashford knew her life was essentially over. To survive the nightmare, she disguised herself in baggy clothes and hideous, thick-rimmed glasses, playing the role of a pathetic, ugly pawn perfectly. But on her wedding night, her 'crippled' husband never showed. Instead, the bedroom door was kicked open by a breathtakingly handsome stranger who pinned her against the mattress with a filthy proposition. "I can treat you far better than that crippled waste ever could," he sneered. Instead of cowering in fear, Celia did the unthinkable—she slapped the arrogant intruder right across his flawless face. She thought he was Nolan, her husband's reckless, boundary-pushing cousin. She had no idea that the man she just struck was Julian Sterling himself, the billionaire heir playing a twisted game of deception to test his new bride. When Julian corners her the next day, forcing a blistering, punishing kiss right outside her family's manor, her abusive mother and sister catch them red-handed. They expect the 'submissive' Celia to drop to her knees and beg for mercy. Instead, a lifetime of trauma shatters. Celia finally snaps, dropping her cowardly facade and weaponizing the Sterling name to threaten the very family that sold her out. Watching his fiercely defiant wife shed her pathetic disguise, Julian wipes his lip with a dark, predatory smirk. "Don't wear those glasses anymore," he whispers, his eyes devouring her hidden beauty. "Or I promise you, I will kiss you exactly like this every single time I see you." The vicious game of cat and mouse has just begun.RomanceRevengeBillionairePossessiveSubstitute BrideSchemingLove&HateFated LoveDisguiseLove after MarriageArrogant977 ChaptersOngoingMay You LikeHis Shattered CaptiveVows in the Shadows: The Billionaire's Stand-In BrideThe Ultimate Revenge: Married to the Lancaster ScionDivorce Denied: The Billionaire's Accidental CureKnocked Up By Mr. UntouchableThe Tycoon's Vow of RuinBorn in Chains: Hiding the Billionaire's HeirThe Supreme Alpha's Lethal OutcastBidding on the Billionaire: A Revenge SeductionHIS RUINED BRIDE: THE DEVIL'S REVENGE CONTRACTRead now
