Claimed by my Ex's Father

Give the first three chapters a try. "You’re fat, ugly, and a burden. Did you really think I’d marry a charity case like you?" With those words, Clara’s world shatters. Just weeks before their wedding, her fiancé Julian doesn't just betray her with another woman—he tears down her soul, leaving the orphaned Clara with nowhere to run and no family to turn to. Broken and desperate, Clara seeks refuge with the only man Julian truly fears: his father, the cold and powerful Arthur Sterling. Expecting a lecture, Clara finds a sanctuary instead. While Julian saw "flaws," Arthur sees a diamond in the rough. As Clara embarks on a journey to reinvent herself, she realizes her greatest transformation isn't physical—it's learning that she was never the problem. As the tension between the heartbroken girl and the protective patriarch reaches a breaking point, Julian realizes his mistake and tries to reclaim his bride. But Arthur isn't just protecting Clara anymore—he’s claiming her. He called her a mistake. His father calls her mine.
