Chapter 2-Unexpected Alliances

"Mom, how do you expect me to marry someone that I don't even know?" Davina asked, her frustration clear in her voice. Her mother, however, smiled."Yes, how can I marry someone like him? He doesn't even look like my dream man," she chimed in, glaring at Xavier. He shot a retort back at her."I can't marry you either. You don't meet my standards, and your dream man is a farmer," he said, and his mom smacked his head."Stop saying nonsense, Xavier. You are both getting married next week, and that's final," His mom asserted."Yeah, that's true. Davina, you need to prepare for your marriage. I'm so excited that my only child is getting married soon," Davina's mother added."I can't be forced to marry this grumpy fellow," Davina muttered under her breath, but her mother heard."I'm very sorry for my daughter's bad attitude," Davina's mother apologized to Xavier's mother, who nodded understandingly. Xavier's mom smiled at her."I'm sorry, Kayla, but we need to go now," Xavier's mom said."

Chapter 3- Twists and Turns

******TERMAINE CLOTHING STORE******"Grumpy man," Davina muttered, stepping out of the car. Xavier spotted paparazzi approaching them, and he immediately pulled her into a hug."Behave like a sensible lady; the paparazzi is here, and we need to pretend to be a cute couple. If you fail, I'll deal with you later," Xavier whispered to her, and she smirked."I won't do it, and you can't do anything to me because your mother will defend me. But I'll do it on one condition," she whispered back."What's the condition?" Xavier inquired."Beg me," Davina said with a mischievous smile."I'm not supposed to beg you, but because I value my reputation, I'll do it. Davina, please, do this for me," Xavier requested, and she chuckled."That's just what I needed," she replied, taking his hand. The paparazzi started bombarding them with questions, but with the assistance of Xavier's security team, they managed to escape their relentless pursuit.Inside the clothing shop, the manager approached them."W

Caught off guard, Xavier appeared nervous, scratching his head as Davina mockingly teased him."Wow, look who's here, stealing in the middle of the night," she quipped, her laughter filling the room.Xavier began to explain himself, but Davina interrupted, proposing a playful condition. "You can have the spaghetti," she said, "but you'll sleep on the mat for a week, and I'll take the bed. Agreed?"Xavier, begrudgingly accepting the terms, replied with a grumpy agreement. Satisfied with her impromptu negotiation, Davina enjoyed her glass of water and returned to the room, leaving Xavier to his "stolen" spaghetti.******NEXT MORNING******Xavier found himself summoned to the sitting room along with Davina by his mother. He couldn't believe his ears when she announced that their wedding date had been moved up to the following day.

Davina's mother nodded in agreement.Curious, Davina asked, "When are you leaving, and when will you be back?""We are leaving tomorrow, and we don't know when we'll be back, but it won't be long," her mother replied."While we're gone, we don't want any disagreements. We intentionally decided to leave to give you space to get used to each other," Xavier's mother added.Davina's mother chimed in, "Goodnight," and they both left the room, leaving Davina and Xavier alone.With the mothers gone, Xavier addressed

Chapter 6- Uninvited Confrontations

Xavier's patience was wearing thin as he tried to mediate the situation. He could sense the tension in the room and realized that this encounter was spiraling out of control. But instead of diffusing it, he decided to take a different approach.With a mischievous glint in his eye, Xavier turned to Mel and said, "You know, Mel, I always thought your taste in paint colors was a bit... unconventional." He gestured to the vividly painted walls in the living room. "But I have to say, compared to this argument about colors, your surprise visit wins the award for the most unexpected shade."Mel flushed with embarrassment, her face turning as red as one of the walls she was arguing about. It was clear that Xavier was taking a jab at her, and she felt humiliated.Davina, always one to enjoy a good laugh, couldn't contain her amusement and burst into laughter. This only fueled Mel's anger further. She clenched her fists, vowing to get back at both Xavier and Davina for this embarrassment.As Xa

It was a clip of Xavier at a trendy nightclub, surrounded by a group of attractive women. His carefree demeanor and the way he laughed with them sent a surge of anger through Davina. She couldn't believe that he would flaunt his supposed bachelor status so brazenly, even if their marriage was a sham.Without a second thought, Davina dialed Xavier's number, her voice laced with barely contained fury. "Xavier, we need to talk right now!" she demanded, her anger making her voice tremble.Xavier, who had been lounging on his couch, glanced at his phone with a lackadaisical expression. "What's the rush, Davina? Can't it wait?""No, it can't!" Davina
