The Billionaire's Captive Wife

Ani_Udofot
I never imagined my life would come to this, being forced into a marriage I never wanted just to save my family from ruin. One moment, I was struggling to survive, and the next, I was trapped in his world. A world of power, secrets, and undeniable attraction. He wasn’t just any man. He was ruthless, intense, and impossible to ignore. The way he looked at me made my heart race, but I knew better than to fall for him. Men like him came with consequences but this was just a contract. The closer I got, the harder it became to resist. And just when I thought I had a grip on my emotions, I discovered something that changed everything. The contract was meant to last only a year, and my time was almost up. But my heart already belonged to him. I fell in love with the man who didn't believe in love only to realize he had a bigger reason for marrying me. My father was connected to his dark past. A past that could destroy us both. Heartbroken, I did the only thing I could. I planned my escape. A way to disappear. But he found out. And now, running isn’t an option. Because in his world, no one walks away from him. Not even his wife.

My SSS Rank System

***his life had never been worse, hopeless, miserable...and alone. until he heard the sound... That small sound, like the chiming of a bell, Ding! Yes, that's the one, the sound that changed his life.*** He had always been the weakest. Laughed at by the villagers. Scorned by the hunters. Ignored by the world. Born without magic in a land where even children could tame flames or speak to beasts, Kael was a mistake in everyone’s eyes. He couldn't lift a training sword, summon a familiar, or even sense mana. Not even a flicker. Not even a spark. Not until the day the world cracked open before him. That day, rain poured like the sky wept for him. He knelt beside his sister’s broken pendant, the last thing he had of her. Mud caked his fingers. Blood stained the ground. And then— That sound. So soft, so sudden, it cut through the storm. Ding! A chime. A bell, bright and delicate, like hope itself. > [Congratulations, Host. You have been selected by the SSS Rank System.] [Initialization begins…] His breath caught. His heart skipped. And the sky— The sky stopped crying. From that moment, Kael was no longer the weakest. He just hadn't awakened yet. ***The world of Aerthrial is steeped in mana, spirit beasts, and ancient legacies. Power is everything—measured in Ranks (F to SSS). Guilds protect the world, magic academies train the elite, and the strongest become Archons—those who command dragons, bend space, or rewrite fate. No one has ever possessed an SSS Rank System. Until now.*** **** Main Character: Name: Kael Ardyn Age: 15 (at start) Background: Orphan, magicless, often bullied. His sister died protecting him from a beast raid, and he carries her pendant. Core Trait: Empathetic and underestimated—kind but sharp, and he slowly gains tactical brilliance. Goal: Become strong enough to change the broken world that scorned the weak. System Core Mechanics: SSS Rank System: Grants Kael access to a unique tiered skill tree, beast contracts, evolution paths, and system quests. Has both active abilities (combat) and passive blessings (intuition, mana growth). As Kael emotionally evolves, the System itself evolves, gaining sentience over time. Also hides an ancient “Truth Protocol”—
