Phoebe’s POV
“Huh, I totally get what you were saying when you went to visit my parents. Christ, I’m literally one step away from hyperventilating” Blaze mutters with a grimace as he fixes the shirt collar of his midnight blue shirt in the mirror.
I break in a fit of cackle behind him as he puts on his black blazer over his broad shoulders. My mouth waters as I stare at the mouth-watering specimen in front of me.
He sends me a warning glare before saying, “Ciccino, don’t give me that look”
I look at him innocently, something that Ava’s Persian white kitten does with her after breaking her dishes or pooping outside the litter box.
“What look?” I blink my eyes in mock confusion and watch him narrow his eyes at me.
He starts sauntering in my direction like a predator nearing his prey and raises my face by using two of his fingers underneath my ja
~One Year Later~ Phoebe’s POV “With the power invested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride” There are deafening cheers all around me asmy husbandlifts my veil to land his feather-soft yet firm lips over mine. My eyes flutter close to relish the feel of his lips on mine after what feels like an eternity even though it’s been only a few days. Ten years ago, if anyone told me that I’ll be marrying someone as magnificently amazing as Blaze Hunter. I would’ve probably laughed my ass off. My mind drifts back to the time when he first proposed to me. I think I went mute for over a minute before he started breaking into cold sweats. Later on, I said yes and until now, that’s the best decision I’ve ever made in my 26yrs of living on this planet Earth. Blaze taught me things that I never thought I’ll experience. Ov

Phoebe’s POV Blue Blue BLUE! All I could see was blue. The entire hall was decorated with blue furnishings and walls. From floor to wall, sofa to the carpet. It was all blue. Even the goddamn chandelier was blue! A deep sense of utter nausea settles inside my stomach as my artistic side shudders at the mess in front of me. I mean why hire an interior designer if you are going to be one who’s going to decorate and orchestrate the whole thing? The bright blue color was making me feel suffocated. In fact, I don’t even know why I’m here. Being one of the top-notch interior designers of Washington, my time was pric
Phoebe’s POV“You know Phoebe, I’m more than happy to take your money without offering you my help but I think you and I both know that I’m not like that. So, do me a favor and stop staring at the window” She says with a lilting British accent.I turn around and find myself getting lost inside the sea of black orbs. To say calling Alana beautiful would’ve been a complete insult, she was absolutely a Goddess. With dark brown waist length natural curled hair, shaped eyebrows, pointed nose, delicately carved facial structure, eyes as dark as the onyx framed inside long sooty lashes shadowing her face, she was a fine sight. What I envied the most about her was her skin tone. It was somewhere between porcelain and light peach with a pinkish tint. If I was a lesbian, I would’ve definitely hit on her.No shit!“Phoebe!”I immediately break out of my thoughts with a jolt at her
Phoebe’s POV“And this is going to be your room,” He says.“Miss Carter?” He asks.Breaking out of my daze I turn towards the voice of the house butler, Gerard. He eyes me warily and I flash him a fake smile whilst nodding my head vigorously to assure him that I heard everything he said.He briskly nods before leaving me inside the vast room.It wasn’t just some room. It was regally gorgeous beyond words.Even after designing so many prestigious homes and decors, I couldn’t help but feel jealous of the architect who designed this entire Castle.Yes! A freaking castle!A few minutes after my arrival in France, I was escorted to a luxuriousMaybach.I couldn’t help but release a sigh of satisfaction now and then at the sight of the lush green environment. Huge trees adorned both sides of the road. After a while the trees were replaced w
Phoebe's POVSo, basically, I wasted my entire day locking myself up inside the luxurious bedroom and going through the safety precautions and ornaments that were ordered. By the time evening came, I let out a huge yawn and checked my phone to see texts from my parents and 30 missed calls from Ava.Fucking shit! Ava’s going to skin me alive for not picking up her calls.I send a quick reply to my parents and leave a voicemail for Ava saying that I was absorbed with work.As I placed my phone on the nightstand, a soft knock resonated through the room. I shouted ‘come in’ and a maid in her mid-forties entered the room.She smiled at me warmly and said “Hello dear, my name is Silvia. I came here to tell you that Master Noah requested your presence in the private dining hall. The dinner will be served within a few minutes”I smile back at her and look down “Sure I’ll be there&rd
Phoebe’s POVI stare restlessly at the golden-edged ceiling design while listening to‘Fire for you’. I scoff at the irony of the song as the lyrics register in my head.It was half-past 2 am and yet I still did not manage to get a wink of sleep.The dinner at the hall still kept playing in my head like a bloody broken record on repeat as I remember the way Blaze looked at me. Thinking about him was a massive crime and I wasn’t being dramatic for no reason.First off he was Noah’s elder cousin which I still found odd since, over the last few years of me hanging out at their house, I never met him.Ever.Then there’s the fact of him being the freaking CEO of the industry who hired me. I mean isn’t there any non-fraternization policy for this sort of thing?What irked me the most was the fact of how much he affected me. Or more like how much his mere presenc
Phoebe’s POV“So, what do you think of this one?” Savita says as she shows me pictures of a mint green theme.“Oh hell no!” I shake my head with disdain. The theme indeed looked hideous. I would’ve said yes to any other occasions but this was a royal event. Everything had to look upscale and over the top. Noah specifically mentioned that ‘Go all out, no expense should be spared’ and I totally understood him. This was his first time handling a family project and from what I heard, his cousin was really hard to please.’Odd, he seemed to really enjoy you the other night’ my subconscious sniggered at me.I shake my head and instantly blush feeling mortified. After last night, I called myself a whore while facing the mirror at least a billion times.Yeah, like it would remove what you did last night.This morning after putting on a full-sleeved blue sh
