97Alex I leaned against the wall, pinching the bridge of my nose. My head throbbed, exhaustion crawling over me like a heavy blanket. My plans for a quiet night of mindlessly scrolling through my phone and ignoring the fact that Liam—*Liam*—was getting married tomorrow were now shredded to pieces. Instead, I was stuck here with Charlotte, her shaking brother, and a ticking time bomb of fifty thousand kroner’s worth of debt.“This is insane,” I muttered, more to myself than anyone else, my voice low and sharp.Charlotte’s head snapped toward me, her expression hardening. She was pacing the room like a caged tiger, silk robe billowing behind her. “It’s not insane—it’s urgent,” she snapped back. “Alec’s life is in danger. Do you even comprehend that?”I barked out a humorless laugh. “Do *you* comprehend that I just wanted one night—*one night*—without you pulling some new crisis into my life?”Her eyes narrowed, lips pressing into a thin line. “Don’t make this about you,” she said, gla

98LiamThe next morning came too quickly. I barely slept—every time I closed my eyes, I saw Alex’s face. Not smiling, not happy, but the way he’d looked the last time we’d spoken: distant, cold, like I was just another face in the crowd. My chest ached as the thought repeated itself: *He didn’t care. He never cared.*But what if I was wrong? What if he *did* care and didn’t know about the wedding? What if he’d tried to call and I missed it? Or worse, what if he *knew* and just… didn’t think it was worth stopping?I rolled over, grabbing my phone from the nightstand. It was almost noon, and the maids were already bustling outside my door, waiting for me to summon them or let them in. But I ignored them, swiping to Alex’s contact.I stared at his name for what felt like hours.*One last time,* I told myself. *Just try one more time.*With trembling fingers, I hit the call button. The line rang. Once. Twice. Three times. My heart pounded louder with each ring, the hope building even tho

99LiamCertainly! Here's the rewritten version of your chapter, with added dialogues and expanded middle section, leading to the same ending.---The grand doors of the ceremony hall loomed ahead, intricately carved with scenes of royal history. Every detail was immaculate, from the golden handles to the red carpet unfurled before me. But none of it felt real. The weight of the crown on my head, the layers of the ceremonial robe—it all felt like chains dragging me toward something I couldn’t escape.“Liam!” my mother called from the side of the hall. She stood near Sophia, who looked as radiant as ever, dressed in her breathtaking gown. My mother’s smile was tight, her eyes scrutinizing every detail of me as if I were a piece of art she needed to perfect.Sophia caught my eye, her expression soft, almost apologetic. She looked beautiful, yes, but her beauty didn’t stir anything in me other than guilt.“Come now,” my mother said sharply, motioning for me to stand beside Sophia. “Every

100AlexHere's the rewritten version of your chapter, expanding the middle section with additional dialogues and a more extended narrative. It keeps the essence of your original chapter but adds depth and tension to the interactions. Let me know if you'd like to make any further tweaks.---Charlotte led the way out into the freezing night, her shoulders hunched against the cold. The streetlights above cast a dim, flickering glow, making her look even smaller. I followed silently, my thoughts a whirlwind of resentment and reluctance. The last few days had been nothing but one disaster after another, and this was no different. Alec’s mess had turned into mine, and now I was stuck dealing with it.As we walked, I broke the silence, my voice a low murmur. “So, who’s this dangerous friend of Alec’s?”Charlotte hesitated, glancing at me over her shoulder, her eyes clouded with uncertainty. “His name’s Viktor. He’s... well, let’s just say he’s not someone you call unless you’re desperate.”

101AlexI sank into the plush couch of the VIP suite, the room spinning slightly. It was 2 a.m., and I was beyond exhausted. The wedding was only a few hours away, but I couldn’t shake the gnawing feeling in my stomach. The whole thing felt like a bad dream. Liam was about to marry someone else, and here I was, trapped in this mess with Charlotte—my fiancée, my supposed partner, though it felt more like a weight on my chest.I ran a hand through my hair, trying to ignore the pounding in my skull. Charlotte, pacing around the room in her silk robe, stopped in front of me, her eyes glinting with something I couldn’t quite place. “We should get some rest before tomorrow,” she said softly, but the tone of her voice made my skin crawl. “We’ll need our energy.”I didn’t look up, too tired to engage, but she wasn’t having it.“Alex,” she pressed, her voice suddenly soft, seductive even. “Let’s go to bed. I need you.”I blinked, not sure if I’d heard her correctly. “What?”She took a step c

102AlexI felt her lips press against mine before I could fully process what was happening. It was soft at first, tentative, as if she was testing the waters to see if I’d pull away. But I didn’t. Instead, I stood there, frozen, my mind racing with conflicting thoughts. It was like a strange pull—her insistence, the pressure mounting with every moment, and the feeling of helplessness that gripped me.Her hands slid up my chest, gently pushing me back toward the bed. I didn’t resist, though every part of me screamed to stop. But there was no stopping it now. Charlotte was determined, and I had been cornered into this position.She kissed me again, harder this time, her lips demanding, as if she had finally gotten the upper hand. And in some twisted way, I had given it to her. The realization stung, but it was too late for regrets.“Don’t act like this is new, Alex,” Charlotte murmured between kisses, her voice low, almost taunting. “You knew this was coming.”I wanted to tell her she

103AlexCharlotte suddenly paused mid-rant, a sly smile creeping across her face. She tossed her phone onto the bed and leaned against the dresser, arms crossed, her expression calm and calculating.“Actually,” she said, her tone shifting to something almost playful, “coming late might not be such a bad thing after all.”I froze, one shoe in my hand, glaring at her in disbelief. “What are you even talking about?”She shrugged, her smile growing wider. “Think about it, Alex. You’re the President of the United States, and I’m the daughter of a powerful billionaire. People *expect* us to make an entrance.”I rolled my eyes and sat back down on the bed, letting the shoe fall to the floor. “Charlotte, this isn’t some kind of power move. It’s a wedding. Prince Liam’s wedding. Do you get that?”She waved a hand dismissively, her expression utterly indifferent. “And why are you so preoccupied with getting there on time anyway? Liam’s supposed to be your *enemy*. So, really, what’s the rush?”

104LiamAs the grand doors to the ceremony hall loomed ahead, I could feel the weight of every step I took. The golden trim on the marble floor glinted in the sunlight streaming through the high windows, but it did nothing to warm the chill inside me. “Your Highness, would you like a moment before entering?” the servant asked, his voice quiet, almost hesitant. I paused, considering it for the briefest moment, before shaking my head. “No,” I said firmly, though my voice betrayed the tremor in my chest. “Let’s get this over with.” The servant nodded and pushed open the doors. The hall was magnificent—vaulted ceilings adorned with intricate frescoes, rows of pews filled with royalty, dignitaries, and guests dressed in their finest. A massive floral arrangement framed the altar at the front, where my bride-to-be stood, her back to me, speaking softly with her bridesmaids. The string quartet played a delicate melody, but the sound barely registered. My eyes swept the crowd, inst

105AlexThe room was as silent as a tomb, save for the rustle of whispers that spread like wildfire and the faint echo of my footsteps against the polished marble floor. My heart hammered as I stepped deeper into the grand hall, the towering crystal chandeliers casting fractured rainbows across the walls. My eyes locked onto Liam’s, his face frozen in a kaleidoscope of emotions: shock, disbelief, and simmering fury.His bride—Sophia, yes, that was her name—shifted her wide-eyed gaze between us, her confusion palpable. Her fingers hovered uncertainly near Liam's arm, as though unsure whether to hold on or let go.Around us, the crowd came alive with murmurs, the dignitaries and royals exchanging incredulous glances, their whispers growing louder with every passing second."Is that... the President?""Why would he—here? On their day?""Doesn’t he know how inappropriate this is?"I swallowed hard, the weight of a hundred scrutinizing eyes pressing down on me like a physical force. My pu
