I already expected him to be harsh. Rude, even. But this?

Pathetic.

The design had already been approved, yet he spat on it like it was filth beneath his feet. Like my work, my effort wasn’t even worth a glance. The arrogance, the sheer audacity, burned through me, but what burned more was the truth in his words. Damn it. That was too much.

Still, watching Daniel stammer under his scrutiny had been satisfying. I should have enjoyed it more. But all I could hear, all I could replay in my head, was his voice.

"Disgusting. An insult to disgust."

I didn’t even realize I had moved until my heels clicked sharply against the marble floor. He was heading for the elevator. I followed. Just as the doors were about to slide shut, I slipped inside, pressing my hand against the cold steel frame.

His gaze flickered to me, bored, detached. “What do you want?”

The doors sealed, enclosing us in a space thick with tension.

I pressed the emergency stop button. The elevator lurched to a halt.

His head snapped toward me, irritation flashing across his chiseled features. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

My pulse thundered, but I straightened my shoulders, my fury sharpening my voice. “Disgusting? An insult to disgust?” My voice cracked a raw edge to it. “Do you even realize how much I put into that design?”

He scoffed, shaking his head like I was nothing more than an amusing little fool throwing a tantrum.

“You really are rude, do you know that?” I snapped.

He said nothing. Just stood there, watching me. His silence was worse than any insult. Worse than any crude remark. Because his gaze, cold and calculating, stripped me down to nothing.

Damn it. I hated tall men.

The way they loomed, exuding an imaginary dominance that made it hard to hold their stare.

Then, his lips curled slightly, his voice dropping into something unreadable. “Is that him?”

I blinked. “What?”

“The bastard who cheated on you.”

My stomach twisted.

“Who? You mean Daniel?”

He exhaled sharply, shaking his head. “Huh. So he cheated with that woman beside him. What was her name again? Serena?”

My breath caught. My entire body stiffened as I snapped my gaze to him.

“How the hell do you know that?”

He smirked. “They were obvious.” He took a slow step toward me. “I can’t believe you dated him all this time and didn’t see it. I bet everyone thinks she’s the real girlfriend.” His voice dipped, filled with something I couldn’t quite place. “So this is what people mean when they say blinded by love?”

Blinded by love?

Me?

I clenched my fists, my blood boiling. He had this infuriating way of speaking—spitting out words like they were nothing, like the weight of them didn’t matter.

But that wasn’t the point.

I lifted my chin, meeting his stare head-on. “Tell me,” I demanded, my voice strong, steady, “what about my design was trash?”

He said nothing at first. Then, his lips curved into something dark, something dangerous.

Before I could react, he stepped closer, and I instinctively moved back. Again. And again—until my back hit the cold elevator wall.

My breath hitched.

His hand slammed against the wall beside my head, caging me in.

It was like something out of a movie. Except there was nothing romantic about the way he looked at me—nothing warm in the way his presence suffocated the space between us.

“You call yourself a designer?” he asked, his voice low, sharp.

“Yes.”

“Then do entertain me,” he murmured, tilting his head slightly, his eyes gleaming with something almost cruel. “What’s the first rule when creating a design?”

I swallowed, my lips parting. “To design something that would fit—”

“Wrong.” He cut me off, his voice slicing through my words. “The first rule is to always have a clear picture of who you’re designing for.” His gaze bore into me, reading me in ways I didn’t want to be read. “A breakup.” He sneered. “Was that your inspiration?”

I opened my mouth to deny it, but he didn’t let me.

“Don’t lie to yourself. That’s what pisses me off.” He leaned in slightly, his voice like ice, like fire. “So tell me, Evelyn Ateya.”

A pause.

A deep inhale.

A single, charged moment where the only thing I could hear was my own pounding heartbeat.

“When you designed that necklace,” he murmured, “who did you have in mind?”

His question gutted me.

I sucked in a breath. My fingers twitched. My chest tightened.

He pressed. “Who?”

I swallowed hard, shame washing over me in slow, agonizing waves. “My mother,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper.

A heartbeat of silence.

Then—he scoffed. “Your mother.” He nodded slowly. “I see.”

His gaze flickered with something unreadable before his jaw tightened.

“So the idea was your mother, but somehow, your thick head got so caught up in childhood promises and forgotten dreams that you destroyed my masterpiece—” he seethed, “—trying to impress some worthless bastard.” His eyes darkened. “My design.”

“Excuse me?” My spine straightened. “It’s my design.”

He chuckled, low and humorless. “Everything you create—” his fingers suddenly lifted, tracing my jaw, tilting my chin upward, “—everything you even think of creating is mine.”

I froze.

My breath shuddered.

“You belong to me now, Evelyn,” he murmured, his voice like a whispered command, like an unshakable truth. “So everything that involves you… is mine.”

I couldn’t move. Couldn’t even bring myself to shove him away.

“Get rid of those stupid memories,” he ordered, his grip firm, yet not unkind. “Rid yourself of childish love notes and broken promises. And show me what you’re actually capable of.”

I swallowed.

His thumb brushed against my cheek, featherlight.

“You’re a rare gem, Evelyn.” His voice softened, but the authority in it remained. “Beautiful. Talented. And any man who has you should be damn grateful.” His lips quirked slightly. “You want revenge? I don’t care how you do it. Use me all you want.”

He suddenly pulled a file from his coat pocket—my previous designs. My real work.

“I want her.” His gaze burned into mine. “The woman who made these.”

I sucked in a sharp breath, my fingers tightening against my sides.

“You’re my wife now.” His voice turned low, lethal. “For ten months. That’s all. But in those ten months, if you want to impress a man—” his lips brushed my ear as he whispered, “—I’m the only one you need to impress. Clear?”

The air crackled between us.

Then, just as suddenly, he pulled away.

I let out a breath I hadn’t even realized I was holding.

He pressed the tenth-floor button.

“And by the way,” he added as the elevator dinged open, “that guy—Daniel—he’s already in the running for the board.” His tone turned sharp, final. “He has a backer. I may be your husband, but don’t expect me to go easy on you.”

My stomach twisted.

He stepped out, walking away before pausing. “Oh—one more thing.” He glanced over his shoulder, his smirk sharp enough to cut.

“Frederick will pick you up at eight. Bring your contract.”

And just like that, he was gone.

Leaving me standing there, tongue-tied. Breathless. And completely overwhelmed.

***

“An insult to disgust!”

Grace and Genny shrieked in unison, nearly toppling over with laughter as I narrated the whole ridiculous event. Tears streamed down their faces, their shoulders shaking uncontrollably. I hadn’t gone back to the office after what happened—too much drama for one day. Instead, I escaped to the rooftop for some air, and, of course, these two found me.

"Shit! I knew the guy was a total night-cracker, but that’s on another level of trash!" Genny wheezed, still clutching her stomach.

"Yeah, totally, girl! I warned you!" Grace added, wiping at the corners of her eyes, still catching her breath.

"Ha! Ha! Very funny," I mimicked their exaggerated tones, leaning back against the metallic billboard mounted on the rooftop. I let out a deep sigh, my gaze drifting toward the sky.

"So, what about that loser?" Genny asked, still grinning.

A slow, wicked smirk curled on my lips. "You should’ve seen his stupid face when Kurtis asked him about his role!" I threw my head back, nearly laughing my lungs out. "He stammered like a malfunctioning robot! Damn, power is freakish!"

"Tell me about it!" Grace shouted, slapping her knee. "So what now?"

I let out a long, broken laugh before stretching my arms widely and pacing around.

"I've decided!" I finally declared, spinning back toward them. "I'm going to aim for the Executive seat!"

"What? The Executive?" They both gawked at me like I had just declared myself the next world dictator.

"The Executive group is made up of, like, seriously abnormal humans—beyond reason. Those guys are basically corporate legends. You’re joking, right?" Grace cried out, her eyes nearly popping.

"So what?" I shrugged. "My idea was the reason Daniel even became a candidate in the first place, wasn’t it?"

"Yeah, and he also has some damn good connections—don’t forget that!" Grace shot back.

"Come on!" Genny patted Grace’s shoulder lightly. "She has one too now. Have you forgotten that she's married to the boss of all those Executives?"

They both nodded, realization dawning on them.

"Actually, I’m not going to depend on Kurtis for this," I said firmly. "I’m going full-blown on my own."

"Are you for real?"

I inhaled deeply, as if trying to breathe in my own rebirth.

"To be honest," I admitted, "I just realized that up until now, everything I’ve done—every effort, every sacrifice—was for Daniel. Everything revolved around him. I spent years trying to impress him, but he never saw me the same way. Maybe he did once... maybe I was just stuck in the past. But it’s high time I become me again."

The two clapped as if I had just delivered the monologue of a lifetime.

"So, what’s the plan?"

I clasped my hands together, rubbing my lips with my thumb as I paced.

"First, I’ll continue playing the ignorant, doting girlfriend. I’ll help him get into the Executive group, just as planned. I’ll let him think he did it all on his own. Let him get comfortable. Let him believe he's about to leave me behind. And the moment he thinks he’s won—" I smirked darkly, my voice dropping a tone, "I take a seat right next to him."

A slow, dramatic pause.

"The look on his face will be priceless," I mused. "And that—that will be my greatest victory. I’ll crush them both. I’ll show them exactly who the hell they messed with!"

"All the way, girl! I love this plan!" Grace cheered, practically bouncing.

"But first," I added, straightening up with a thoughtful expression, "we have to come up with a design fitting for my cold husband."

We all burst into laughter, the sound echoing across the rooftop.

"Your ice-cold husband!" Genny added, grinning mischievously.

I smirked. "Ice-Cold Husband... I like the ring to that."

    The air inside the boardroom was thick with tension, the kind that settled between unspoken words and silent glares. No one dared to breathe too loudly. We were all waiting for the inevitable—the verdict.Jade Jewelry was situated in Roosters, housed within a ten-floor building. We occupied the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors, with the sixth serving as our design studio and the seventh reserved for board meetings. Initially, the building accommodated various businesses, but ever since Lush acquired the entire property, some of them had begun relocating.That’s right, Mr. Almighty doesn’t like his business aligning with other businesses. So we are expecting new changes. Don’t get the wrong idea, Lush headquarters is in CBD, a seven-star building. I’d been there once for a product launch, and the sheer extravagance had left an imprint on me—red carpets rolled over polished floors, walls lined with gold-trimmed panels, and chandeliers that dripped luxury.

    A marriage of convenience. Contracts were needed. Certain lines were supposed to be defined, but for some reason, I found it amusing to tease her.The way her eyes widened, her expression shifting from confusion to guarded caution, yet beneath it all, an innocence that was almost too easy to rattle. Her hands hung behind her back, her posture tense, as if she was both resisting and submitting at the same time. Even with her guard up, she was so easy to fluster."So, do tell me," I mused, leaning slightly closer, my voice deliberately laced with amusement. "Will kissing you to prove you're my wife be a breach of contract?"Her lips parted, a small, startled sound escaping before she stammered, "Well, umh..."I smirked, enjoying how she struggled for words. "Sorry to tell you, but I might have to kiss you quite a lot. Even more than your ex did," I said, watching her reaction closely. "I can refer to him as your ex, right?""Well, yeah," she mumbled, still staring up at me in a trance-l

    A high-pitched ringing buzzed in my ears, distant at first, then swelling, consuming everything. My head felt heavy like it had been stuffed with cotton, but the weight wasn’t enough to dull the sharp, pulsing ache at my temples. I tried to move, but a dull throb shot up my arm, pinning me down before I could register what was wrong.Bright light poured through my closed eyelids, forcing them to flutter open. The world blurred—a sterile white ceiling, recessed lights that hummed softly, and the unmistakable scent of antiseptic hanging thick in the air. Something beeped nearby, a steady, rhythmic sound that only intensified the ringing in my head. Hospital. The realization struck as I blinked, my vision swimming into focus.A murmur of voices drifted in from the side, muffled at first, then sharpening into distinct figures. My father. Vincent. Antony. They were here.I turned my head slightly, ignoring the protest of my sore muscles. Vincent was seated beside me, his posture stiff, han

    The suitcase snapped shut with a finality that sent a dull ache through my chest. I exhaled, rubbing my temples as I glanced at the two culprits standing before me—Genny and Grace, their eyes wide, their hands clasped together in a silent plea."I said no!" I cried out, my patience fraying at the edges."But we just want to see the house!" Genny whined."Every single girl in this city would die to get a peek into Kurtis’s life," Grace added, arms crossed.I threw my hands up. "And that’s exactly why you’re not coming! I haven’t even properly introduced you guys, and we all know the kind of man Kurtis is. He values his privacy more than anything!"Their exaggerated sighs filled the air as I turned my attention back to the calendar hanging on the wall. What a month July had turned out to be. A month that was supposed to be filled with excitement, with wedding plans, with love. I had envisioned myself walking down the aisle toward Daniel, my heart fluttering with anticipation for the lif

    The car ride back was suffocating.The low hum of the engine, the occasional flicker of streetlights casting eerie shadows through the tinted windows, the rhythmic tapping of Kurtis’s fingers against his tablet—it all built an unbearable weight inside me. The hospital doors had barely shut behind us, yet my mind was still trapped in that sterile white hallway, replaying the scene over and over like a broken film reel.Antony’s expression—shocked, confused, then cold. His jaw tightened, his gaze darting between me and Kurtis, piecing together a picture I wasn’t even sure how to explain.I shouldn’t care. I shouldn’t. But I did.And the way Kurtis had dismissed him, like a minor inconvenience, like a fly buzzing too close to his ear, made my stomach twist. It wasn’t just his words; it was the sheer lack of emotion, the detached finality in his tone, as if Antony—someone who had stood by his side for years—was nothing more than an afterthought.I shot a glance at Kurtis.

    I barely got any sleep. The bed was enormous, the sheets soft, but everything still felt foreign—the scent of a new fragrance lingering in the air, the quiet vastness of the house pressing down on me. It was surprisingly huge, yet only had six rooms.The ground floor was nothing short of luxury—an expansive living room, a sleek dining area, and a modern kitchen. But according to Fedrick, apart from the housekeepers who only came during the day and the gatekeepers, no one else lived there. Just Kurtis and him. And even then, Kurtis was hardly around, only staying over when early-morning schedules demanded it.Even Antony and some of Kurtis’ closest friends rarely hung out here. Privacy, for him, wasn’t just a preference—it was an obsession.The first floor housed his study, a personal library, and a sketch room—off-limits to everyone, including Fedrick. The second floor had three rooms. Mine was the first you reached, another stood empty, and Kurtis’ was at the farthest end. The third

    (June, 17…One Month Before The Contract Marriage )It was already past ten when I walked in. The grand gate opened as I handed over my invitation card, the golden emblem catching the dim light. This wasn’t just any event—it was the event, exclusive to only the VVIPs from every major business sector. The kind of gathering where fortunes were made or ruined over a single conversation.A valet rushed over as I stepped out of my car, and I tossed him my key without a second glance. The grand home of Mr. Abdalla loomed ahead, magnificent and intimidating. You could say Bianco is the most influential jewelry company, but Abdalla’s Company? He controlled the appraisal of jewelry, the launch of exclusive collections, and the global marketing of high-end pieces. His company was the backbone of the industry, providing top-tier models and connections that stretched across continents. It was no surprise he ranked among the top ten richest billionaires in Kenya.Stepping inside, I took a slow, mea

    The room was thick with tension, the air heavy as if every molecule had absorbed the weight of the moment. Kurtis’s arms remained firmly wrapped around me, his grip a silent command, while Antony stood a few feet away, still as a statue, his stare sharp and unreadable.I wasn’t sure if he was in shock, disbelief, or something darker. But one thing was clear—this wasn’t a normal conversation.And me? I felt like I was caught in a storm I never saw coming. My thoughts were tangled, my heart pounding against my ribs, a painful reminder that I had just signed myself into something—something much deeper and much more dangerous than I had initially assumed.I sucked in a sharp breath, but even that felt like a struggle, as though the very oxygen in the room had turned against me, suffocating me with each passing second."You should head back," Kurtis finally spoke, his voice calm yet firm, the kind of tone that left no room for argument.I blinked, still trying to find my footing in this me

    Although she insisted she could handle it, I couldn’t help but prepare for the worst. I needed to be ready—just in case.My stomach twisted as I stared down at the documents in front of me. Medical records, dates, and confirmation lines.“She’s pregnant?” I scoffed, letting out a dry, humorless chuckle, though the annoyance in my voice betrayed the anger simmering beneath the surface.“Yeah,” Fedrick replied flatly, standing to the side with his hands tucked behind his back. “Four months along, confirmed.”I gritted my teeth. “What a bastard…”“What should we do, boss?” Fedrick asked, his tone low and cautious.I let out a long breath, fingers tapping against the mahogany desk. “I wanted to step in, but she asked me not to. So we’ll keep our distance... for now.”I spun my chair around, gazing out the window at the rain streaking down the glass.“Gavin’s the one representing Bianco this time,” I added, voice steely. “I want you to keep both eyes on him. He plays dirty, always has. If

    KURTISI was heading out for a meeting with some shareholders. The game was about to start, all thanks to Mr. Abdalla’s push. It should’ve been a good day.But fate always had its way of pulling the rug.The moment we stepped out of the house, the sky cracked open and rain began to pour, thick and unrelenting.Just as I was sliding into the backseat, Fedrick’s voice cut through the hum of the downpour.“Sir… isn’t that Miss Evelyn?”I looked up sharply, eyes narrowing at the figure stepping out of a cab just beyond the gate. My breath caught.It was her.Standing alone in the pouring rain—no coat, no umbrella, not even a shawl. Just the same dress she wore earlier that morning. Her hair clung to her cheeks, makeup ruined, her body trembling beneath the weight of the storm.“What the hell…?” I muttered, already flinging the car door open.Without thinking, I tore off my coat and rushed toward her, ignoring the rain as I wrapped it around her frail, soaked frame. Her lips parted, eyes w

    You know, at this point, something like this shouldn’t shake me.But it does.Not because I’m seeing it again. God knows this scene is becoming a rerun at this point.What kills me—what burns right through my chest—is that he was the one who texted me. Urgently. Like something life-changing couldn’t wait another second. And then he brings her? And has the nerve to let me walk right into this mess like it’s some twisted open invitation?“Evelyn… I… it’s not what you think,” Dan stammers, keys slipping between his trembling fingers like guilt he can’t quite hold onto.I mean, seriously?His tie’s half-looped like he yanked it loose in a rush, three buttons undone, shirt disheveled like it had been clawed open. His coat’s just lying there on the floor, like it gave up trying to hold any dignity for him.I feel my throat tightening, the betrayal pressing hard against my ribs.“What’s the meaning of this?” I ask, breathless, my voice cracked between fury and disbelief. “If you’re going to

    “Next Saturday, I want to take you out for lunch. Just the two of us,” Victoria whispered as Fedrick parked the car.I glanced at her with a teasing smile. “Well, if you’re buying, then why not?”We both chuckled softly.“Then it’s a date.”After a few parting goodbyes, we climbed into the car. The air inside felt thick—charged with tension, emotions, or maybe it was just my stupid heart acting up again. It couldn’t handle being around him without doing backflips in my chest.So, I did what any sane person would do when someone’s presence starts messing with your thoughts—I avoided looking at him altogether. I cracked the window open just a little and let the wind graze my face, focusing on anything outside that wasn’t him.As usual, he was completely absorbed in his laptop, typing away like the world around him didn’t exist.“What did you talk about with Victoria?” he asked, smooth as silk.“Nothing. Just girl talk,” I replied lightly, hoping he’d drop it.Silence followed. But it wa

    Her breath was soft—gentle, almost rhythmic. By now, she was deep asleep. Completely gone.And yet I… I couldn’t take my eyes off her.The taste of her lips still lingered—faint but maddeningly present. They were slightly swollen, kissed raw by me, and my tongue kept chasing the memory like it wasn’t ready to let go.I’ve kissed a lot of women.Some were tactics—tools in the mess of scandals I used to orchestrate. Others were fleeting distractions, faces I barely remember now. But her?Evelyn was different.Every time I kissed her, something inside me shifted. My chest tightened, my pulse raced like I’d never done it before. There was this strange, almost helpless ache in me—like I could kiss her for hours and still want more.And now, lying beside her… watching her sleep?God.How the hell can someone be so damn beautiful doing nothing but breathing?Her lips were parted, ever so slightly, letting out the softest little sighs—almost a whisper. The kind of breath that brushed again

    The mood in the dining room was nothing short of suffocating as we served them, the tension hanging thick like unspoken truths in the air. Victoria—God, that woman could talk. A chatterbox dressed in pearls and sharp smiles. Yet, oddly enough, it wasn’t unbearable. If anything, it was...refreshing.Back when I lived with Grace and Genny, our conversations rarely ever wandered past rating men like fruit at a market, dissecting rumors, or planning the next night out. Emotional depth? Unheard of. But this—this back-and-forth with Victoria, layered with teasing and half-truths and guarded warmth—might just be the longest, most grounded conversation I’d had with another woman in years. And as odd as it sounds, I didn’t hate it.Victoria set the steaming pot of stewed pork at the center of the table. “What’s with the mood?” she asked, her voice slicing through the silence as she adjusted the sleeves of her velvet blouse.The maid beside her moved quietly, expertly laying down the final pie

    It was drizzling when we arrived in Loresho—soft, persistent drops tapping against the windshield like a steady whisper of warning. The clouds above were a pale, bruised gray, smearing across the sky like an old memory. Mist swirled low over the road, clinging to the lush hedges lining the estate as the car glided smoothly into the heart of the private, high-end enclave—Loresho Block 1027.Inside the car, the atmosphere was thick with silence and something unspoken. The faint hum of the engine was barely audible beneath the soft RnB jazz playing low on the radio. The smooth saxophone curled into the air like a lullaby, wrapping the space in an oddly calming warmth—calm before the storm.I was tense, my fingers occasionally tapping the door armrest as I stared ahead. My mind raced with a thousand outcomes. Just one mistake… and we’d both go down. Abdalla wasn’t stupid. Suspicious, maybe. Controlling, definitely. And a marriage that sprouted overnight? That wouldn’t fly under his radar

    “Huh! The outlook looks better!” Denis exclaims, her eyes scanning the sketch with approval.But I barely hear her. My focus is locked onto Serena and Daniel. The way they lean into each other, whispering, giggling—so obnoxious, so infuriating. Every little chuckle grates against my nerves, like nails screeching down a chalkboard. They don’t even try to be subtle. It’s disgusting.“Right, what do you think about the boss’ suggestion?” Daina’s voice cuts through my thoughts. She’s standing beside Denis, and as always, Victor trails behind her like a silent shadow. The two of them have been helpful with material suggestions, but right now, my patience is thin.“Yeah, it’s sick,” Victor finally speaks, stuffing his hands into his pockets. “Five thousand for a design that would impress him? That’s insane.”“So you in, then?” Denis teases with a sly chuckle.“Fuck right,” Victor mutters, shaking his head in disbelief.It’s only been four hours since the announcement, yet the news has alrea

    The fire in her eyes was untamed, raw—like a storm barely held back by the fragile restraint of her skin. Impressive, to say the least. A slow smirk curled on my lips, amusement flickering through me despite the absurdity of her words."I want to join the Board of Executives!" she declared, her voice cutting through the room like a blade of ice.I exhaled sharply, staring at her—hard. Maybe I was hoping she was joking, that she’d laugh and brush it off as a fleeting thought. But no. Damn. She meant it.As Fedrick moved about, directing the guests toward dinner, I kept my gaze locked on her, studying every flicker of resolve, every stubborn breath she took."Listen," I said, my tone low, measured, but laced with something dark. "Do you think joining the Executive Board will be enough to get your revenge?"Her brows pinched slightly, but she didn’t falter. "What do you mean? From the beginning, that was what—""You still don’t get it," I cut in, stepping forward. Before she could pull a
