Chapter: Chapter Thirty-Five: From Prying EyesKat stood in the tiny kitchenette of the office, staring at the teapot as it whistled, the steam curling upward like a taunting reminder of the heat simmering in her life. The Jourdan project was more than just a job—it was her chance to make something significant, to prove herself. But now, Iris had stepped into the picture, weaving her cunning webs and threatening everything Kat and Levi had worked for. She had left everything at Valtara to focus on this project - the project that promised to shoot her career to the top. And she wasn't going to let Iris come and wash away those efforts for nothing. She poured the tea into two cups, her hands trembling slightly. This shouldn’t be hard. It was just a request—a simple date. But Kat knew better. It was a chess move, one Iris had forced her to make. And the piece in play was Levi, the man she loved. The man she had to protect at all costs. Balancing the cups on a tray, Kat took a deep breath and walked to Levi’s office. The door was s

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-Four: Moonlit Sonata The soft hum of the city accompanied Levi and Kat as they strolled down the bustling street market. Lanterns glowed like fireflies above them, casting a warm golden hue over the stalls. The air was rich with the mingling aromas of grilled seafood, sweet desserts, and spices. Kat smiled as she stole a glance at Levi, who seemed completely out of his element, his sharp features softened by curiosity and an unfamiliar sense of ease. “Still sure about this?” Kat teased, nudging his arm playfully. “Street food isn’t exactly your thing.” Levi smirked, his stormy eyes flickering with amusement. “It isn’t. But you said you’d make it worth my while.” “Oh, I will,” she replied, a mischievous glint in her eyes as she led him to the first stall. They stopped at a grill stall, where skewers of roasted squid sizzled over open flames. Levi hesitated for a moment before taking the offered skewer. Kat watched him intently, biting her lip to keep from laughing. “Go on, try it,” she encouraged

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-Three: To Appease Rosa Martinez Spending the weekend away from the pressures of work and Iris was a breather for Kat. Rosa made sure she had her visiting restaurants, clubs and shopping. For the months Kat had been away, a lot had changed. Valtara, the café they usually went to for lunch, Rosa, Rowland and everyone at Valtara. Kat missed working there. She missed the comfort and the freedom of not having to worry about getting tangled with the boss or have her name plastered on the gossip of the week. She loved working with Levi - to be honest. But it was overwhelming at times, knowing they couldn't be too close to each other without having one or two said about them. It was enough that nobody knew that they were exes and knew each other before. Although things had changed between them, there was another problem to worry about - Iris was there. Kat pretended not to see Iris’ reminder messages. She was going to tell Levi when she saw him on Monday. Daya was in safe hands. Kat could see Rowland was doing a great j

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-Two: Let Her Have Her Way? The moment Kat stepped into the buzzing lobby of Valtara, a wave of nostalgia hit her like a familiar tune she hadn't heard in ages. It smelled the same—coffee, paper, and the faint scent of fresh flowers from the reception desk. The hum of conversations, the clack of keyboards, and the soft murmur of printers churning out reports filled the air. It felt...like home, in a way she hadn’t expected.“Kat!” a familiar voice boomed. Rowland emerged from a side hallway, his grin wide and toothy, his suit grand and fashionable and his tie carefully selected, as always. He strode toward her with long, eager steps, his hand extended. “You’re back!” he exclaimed, clasping her hand in an enthusiastic shake that left her arm tingling. Before Kat could respond, Rowland turned his head and winked at someone behind her. “My heart, can you believe this? Oh my goodness! My queen has graced us with her presence again. Be still, my heart.” Kat snorted, extracting her hand from his grip. “Stop ac

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-One: Girl's NightDaya waved excitedly at Kat with two big shopping bags as she stood by the entrance of GreCorps. Kat got off the turquoise blue camry and folded her arms. She had told Levi that she wouldn't be coming home for the weekend because she had to prepare her report for Valtara. There was no need telling him about Daya coming with her too. Kat had been caught between telling Levi about what happened with Iris or not. Telling him would make things awkward, who knew what he might do? He might decide to have Iris leave and that wouldn't spell good at all. Not telling him might cause problems for Levi and the project if she didn't do what Iris wanted. The rest of the week had been overwhelming. Iris had her eyes hawking at Kat, watching her move everytime she went in to Levi's office or whenever they were together. It was tiring. “How was your day Kat? “ she asked sweetly, flashing her with cute smiles. “What's wrong with you?” Kat teased as she collected one of the bags from her. “Did you

Chapter: Chapter Thirty: To Be or Not To Be? Kat’s plans had not included a showdown with Iris. Yet here she was, perched on the edge of a café chair across from the drama queen herself, who sat like she owned the place, sipping a latte with all the grace of a Bond villain plotting world domination. Kat’s fingers tightened around her coffee cup as Iris delivered her opening line with a smile sharp enough to cut glass. “Kat, darling, I’m going to cut right to the chase. We need to talk about Levi.” Kat blinked, then groaned internally. Here we go. She should have known that agreeing to meet Iris was like signing up for emotional dodgeball—only the balls were flaming and aimed at her head. “What about Levi?” Kat asked carefully, keeping her tone light, even though her heart was doing an unplanned cardio session. Iris leaned in, her perfectly manicured nails drumming on the table with a rhythmic tap-tap-tap. “Oh, don’t play dumb with me,” she purred. “I see how he looks at you. It’s cute, really, but let’s not pretend you d

Chapter: 4. Cinderella For One Night Harper's eyes met with his from where she sat. She looked away quickly and got up to attend to other things.She opened the door of his office, adjusting and clearing her throat as she walked in. She would talk to him normally, go on with her job and everything will be fine, simple! No need to make anything awkward.Harper nervously shifted her chair, avoiding Eros' penetrating gaze as he leaned back, his icy eyes fixed on her. "I trust you've come to a conclusion and reviewed the terms. Time is money, and I don't appreciate wasting either.""Oh absolutely," Harper replied, feigning ignorance. "The contract was a riveting bedtime story."He arched a brow, unimpressed. Harper continued to evade eye contact, her fingers tapping nervously on the mahogany table."I'll take that as a yes.""I haven't decided yet.""This deal could elevate you. Don't let personal feelings cloud your judgment." He crossed his fingers. "Anyone would jump at the opportunity without even reading the terms.""O

Chapter: 3. Between the Devil and the Deep SeaEros watched her approach, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. Harper looked different, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why. It had only been a few months since he'd last seen her, but something about her presence felt unfamiliar today. Was it the way her hair flowed freely past her shoulders instead of being pulled up in a tight bun? Or perhaps it was the nervous energy in the air as she walked toward him? Whatever it was, it piqued his interest.She wasn’t the type of woman he usually entertained—too simple, too reserved—but that was exactly why she might just work for his plan. All he needed was someone to play the part of his fiancée for a year, to fool his parents and the board, to win the company for himself. He didn't have time for anything more. A quick contract, a few public displays of affection, and then it would all be over. “Harper.” The name slipped from his lips as she finally reached the table, her nervousness radiating off her in waves. “You’re late.”

Chapter: 2. A DealThe sharp clatter of Asia’s coffee cup hitting the table jolted Harper to attention. "So," Asia said, her eyes blazing with impatience, "how’s it going, Harper? Has he met anyone yet? What’s she like? Come on, spill it!" Harper sighed, slumping into the chair opposite her friend. The cafe smelled like burnt toast and fresh lattes, but all Harper could taste was the bitterness of her day. Asia had ambushed her the second she left the office, demanding an impromptu meeting. "Asia, it’s not as easy as you think," Harper replied, taking a long sip of her coffee, hoping the caffeine would dissolve her irritation. Asia leaned forward, her manicured fingers drumming the table. "What’s the problem? Has he not been seeing anyone? That’s so unlike my brother." "I think he’s seeing someone," Harper muttered, picking at her fries. "But I don’t know who she is yet." Asia gasped dramatically. "When? Details, Harper. Details!" "This morning, he mentioned a date. But then, of course, work

Chapter: 1. The OfferOne week earlier… Harper's heart sank the moment Asia leaned forward, her lips curving into a smirk that spelled trouble. "I'll give you a raise—ten times what he's paying you," Asia said, her arms crossed as she studied Harper like a hunter cornering its prey. Harper’s jaw nearly hit the floor. "Ten times?" she stammered, fumbling for her phone to calculate. The number stared back at her, ridiculous and tempting. $8,000,000! "If you can make him fall in love in sixty days." Harper’s laughter was sharp and incredulous. "You’re insane. Sixty days? That’s like two months. He's not even dating anyone right now!" She shot Asia an exasperated look. "Do you even know your brother? The guy’s a walking disaster when it comes to relationships. Women orbit him, but he never lets anyone close. And you want me to turn that into love?" "Exactly," Asia said, sliding an envelope across the table. "That’s why I’m hiring you. You know him better than anyone. You’ve been his assistant for two
