When her sister disappears on her wedding day, Olivia has no choice but to take her place at the altar and marry elusive billionaire Xavier Sinclair. Xavier has only ever had eyes for the eldest daughter of the Blackford household, but when she abandons him on their wedding day, he has no choice but to marry her younger sister, the one person he had sworn to stay away from. Finally married to him, Olivia is determined to do whatever it takes to win him over; after all, she loved him first, even if he didn’t know it.
View MoreToday was the wedding, and Kathrine was nowhere to be seen."Your sister isn't answering any of her calls," my father says, eyes filled with worry as he dialed Kathrine's number for what seemed the hundredth time."The wedding is about to start. Where could she possibly be?" my mother asks, her voice filled with concern. She paces from one end of the room to the other while my father dials my sister's number again. Just like the others, it goes straight to voice mail. This was bad, this was really bad. Hundreds of people were already out there waiting for the bride to show up; how were my parents supposed to go out there and tell them the bride was a no-show?"Maybe she's stuck in traffic," I offer, but even I don't believe my words. The door of the dressing room swings open, and in walked Xavier's father, shit, he did not look happy. Standing at a height of 6'1, Adrian Sinclair stood in the middle of the dressing room, his gaze intimidating as they fixated on my parents. "Where is y
My parents' home looked like something that crawled out of an Elle Décor Magazine. The living room had several pieces of furniture, including a large white sofa which sat at the center of it all and in front of it a large marble coffee table. On the other side of the room was a glass case showcasing my father's priced book collections, and next to it was my father's favorite painting of a majestic horse."Your skin looks dry," my mother examined with critical eyes. She stood across from me, her own skin glowing with a milky opalescent that almost seemed too fake. Her blonde hair was pulled back in a bun, and her eyes did little to hide the disapproval she felt."Have you been attending your monthly facial?" she asks, her eyes lingering on my neck."Yes, Mother," I reply, forcing a smile."Good. You're not getting any younger, you know; it's good that you make an effort to maintain your youth." Ever since Kathrine's engagement to Xavier, my mother has made it a habit to constantly remi
Olivia POVI am awoken by the smell of bacon. My eyes crack open, and I'm met with the grey walls of my bedroom… wait a minute, grey walls? My bedroom had white walls. I shot out of bed and immediately regretted it when I felt a throbbing in my head. Ow! Where am I? I wonder before everything comes flooding back: the club, the drinks, Xavier. With a groan, I manage to get out of bed and follow the trail of the scent to the kitchen, where I find Mia by the stove. She turns around just in time to see me entering the kitchen. Her face breaks into a smile."Good morning," she chirps, sliding two pieces of bacon into a plate and placing it in front of me. She continues to hum as she proceeds to break some eggs and whisk them together before pouring them into the pan. "How are you not hung over?" I groan, taking a bite from the bacon. The flavor immediately bursts in my mouth, making me let out a satisfied moan as I take another bite. She shrugs, spinning around and adding some eggs to my
Olivia POV"I hate you," Mia yells, kicking the back of her brother's headrest. Xavier doesn't react. Instead, he focuses his attention more on the road. Mia then proceeds to lean in my direction, causing her to snuggle my elbow. "You're so warm," she says, snuggling closer. Then she looks up at me from under her lashes and says, "Don't you just hate him?" I nod in agreement. Mia and I had taken one too many drinks, and since we both couldn't drive home, we had no choice but to call someone. My sister wouldn't pick up, which was to be expected since she had a photoshoot tomorrow. Xavier, on the other, had picked up on the second ring. I lean against the window, too tired to keep my head up.Xavier's deep voice cuts through my drunken haze. "How much did you guys have to drink?" he asks; I start to count on my fingers just as Mia blurts out, "Not nearly enough." then, in a hushed tone she adds."He might be my brother, but it's obvious I inherited all the smarts." She giggles at her ow
Olivia POV"What do you think?" Kathrine asked, strutting out of the dressing room in what was probably my sister's fifteenth gown of the evening. My mother looks up from her phone, her face morphing into a grin as she takes in the image of my sister."This is the one," she beams as she gets up from her chair and walks up to my sister, who still looks fidgety in her dress. "Absolutely marvelous; I just know Xavier won't be able to keep his eyes off you during the wedding," my mother continues to gush. The long, flowing, ivory strapless gown was embellished with little decorations along the bodice and waistline. My sister's blonde hair fell down her shoulders in soft waves that framed her delicate features.Kathrine looked unsure, her voice filled with skepticism as she asked, "Are you sure?""Trust me, sweetie, you look absolutely breathtaking." Mother assures her.She tilts her head slightly at her reflection in the mirror, examining how the fabric clings to her skin. "I think the bo
