Chad Blackstone is a self-made billionaire with a cold demeanor, his heart frozen after a devastating betrayal by the one woman he loved—Ava Reeds. When Ava unexpectedly reappears, determined to rekindle their relationship, Chad devises a bold plan to show her he’s moved on and that's where she comes in. Jasmine Withers, a fiery, no-nonsense woman. Desperate for funds to cover her mother’s medical expenses, Jasmine signs a contract to act as Chad’s fiancée. She doesn’t care about Chad’s icy attitude or his complicated past; she just needs to hold up her end of the bargain. What starts as a simple charade takes an unexpected twist when Chad invites Jasmine to a luxurious Christmas retreat. Among the snow-dusted peaks and glittering holiday magic, their staged romance becomes dangerously real. But Ava isn’t ready to let go without a fight, and her desperate schemes threaten to destroy everything Chad and Jasmine have built. As the stakes rise, Chad must confront his past and decide whether he’s willing to risk his heart again. What begins as a calculated business arrangement quickly spirals into a whirlwind of scandal, rivalry, and unexpected passion. In a game of love, revenge, and redemption, who will come out on top—and who will end up heartbroken? With a dazzling smile, she strode to Chad and slid her arm around his, pulling herself snugly against his side. The movement was seamless, natural, and impossible to ignore. “What are you doing?” Chad hissed, his tone low and sharp “Playing the part,” Jasmine whispered back, patting his chest as if calming a restless dog. “Relax, Mr. Blackstone. You hired me for this, remember?” Jasmine turned her attention to Ava, her smile turning just a shade sharper. “Hi, I’m Jasmine. Chad’s fiancée.”

Prologue: The First Meeting

The First Meeting Chad Blackstone sat in his office, gripping the edge of his desk as Peter, his trusted assistant, stood nearby. The news had hit him like a punch to the gut.“Ava Reeds is back in town,” Peter said cautiously, watching his boss for a reaction.Chad’s jaw tightened. “Why now?” he muttered, his voice low and tense. “After three years... Why the hell would she come back?”Peter shifted uncomfortably. “I’m not sure, but word is she’s attending some high-profile events. The media’s already buzzing about her return.”Ava. His Ava. The woman he’d once thought he’d spend his life with. The woman who’d left him broken and humiliated.Why? His chest tightened, anger and something far more bitter swirling within him. Three years. It had been three years since she’d vanished from his life without an explanation, taking his trust and his heart with her.His mind drifted to the past, no matter how much he fought against it. Ava. His childhood sweetheart. The girl he’d once though...

Chapter 1: A Deal With The Devil
“Listen up, everyone!”The sharp voice of Mr. Whitman, the manager of The Silver Holly, echoed through the restaurant as the staff gathered in the backroom. “Today’s not just any day, today's going to be hectic, and I want all of you on your toes. No mistakes, no delays. We’ve got some of the most influential high-profile clients in New York City dining with us, and if any of you screw this up, you’ll be out before the day ends. No excuses”Jasmine Withers adjusted her apron, suppressing a groan. It was the same speech every time high-profile guests were expected, but today Mr. Whitman seemed even more on edge.“The Silver Holly is known for its excellence,” he continued, pacing in front of the staff. “I don’t care if you’re serving water or a five-course meal—everything must be perfect. Got it?”“Yes, sir,” the team chorused.Jasmine Withers, standing at the back of the room, exchanged a glance with her co-worker, Lucy. “No pressure,” she whispered sarcastically.“Jasmine!” Mr. Whitm

Chapter 2: A Deal With The Devil II
Jasmine sat on the edge of her tiny apartment’s worn couch, her laptop perched on the coffee table. The email from Chad’s assistant had arrived an hour ago, the attachment glowing ominously on the screen like a trap. It still felt like a dream to her.She scrolled through the document, her heart sinking with every clause. The terms were laid out in painstaking detail: the conditions of her role, the timeline, and the stipulations on her conduct.Her mother’s treatment was prominently listed under “benefits,” as though it were a corporate perk. Immediate care, all expenses covered, and access to the country’s top specialists. She hesitated, Mr. Chad Blackstone isn't someone you can easily mess with, and she wasn't willing to subject her life to misery. Yes, she's sure that acting as Mr Blackstone's fiancee was going to be misery.Her phone buzzed, breaking her focus. She grabbed it quickly, her chest tightening when she saw the hospital’s number.“Hello?”“Ms. Wither,” a nurse’s voice

Chapter 3: The Gala
Jasmine sat stiffly in the plush chair of an expansive dressing suite, feeling completely out of place amidst the whirlwind of luxury. Three stylists fluttered around her, debating colours and fabrics, while a makeup artist meticulously worked on her face."Chin up," the woman instructed, tilting Jasmine's face to the light.Jasmine complied, though her mind raced. How had her life gone from scraping together tips at the diner to this? The unusual transformation was almost laughable."Perfect," one of the stylists declared, stepping back to admire her work. "That gown will turn heads for sure.”Jasmine glanced down at the emerald silk dress they’d chosen, its sleek design hugging her figure with just the right amount of elegance. The plunging neckline and slit up the leg were bold, but not garish. For a moment, she felt like someone else entirely—a stranger in her own skin.Before she could dwell on it, the door opened, and Chad strode in.The room seemed to chill instantly as his pre

The Invitation
Chad relaxed comfortably on his plush black leather couch, a champagne glass clutched tight to his left hand. He cocked his head to the right and took a sip of the reddish liquid while he wallowed in his thoughts.Chad's mind remained on the fierce stunt Jasmine had pulled back at the gala. He was amused by her skills. He recalled the way Jasmine had effortlessly put Ava in her place. Her sharp wit and confident demeanor left Ava stunned and speechless.A small approving smile crept on Chad's lips as the memory of Ava's surprised face flashed before his eyes. Jasmine was a wild card and a valuable asset. He didn't regret picking her out for this Job. Just as Chad was starting to feel a spark of interest in Jasmine, Peter knocked softly on the door before entering."Sir, I have some news," Peter spoke, his voice remained calm and even.Chad gazed out the floor-ceiling windows of his luxurious penthouse apartment. The city lights flashed below. He released a heavy sigh and raised a bro

"You are quite the celebrity now, aren't you Jasmine?" A familiar voice sneered from behind. Jasmine flinched in surprise and turned to gaze at the culprit.Her eyes widened in surprise, a flicker of fear danced in her chest. It had been a year since she last saw Alex, not since she had finally found the courage to leave him. The memories of his abuse still lingered in her head, it felt like she had returned back to that dark place."Al-ex.." Jasmine stuttered."Long time no see Jazz. It has been a long while, am I correct?" Alex stepped out of the elevator. His eyes glinted with malice as he eyed her. "You look a lot more better now. Looks like you have been taking good care of yourself." Alex muttered.Jasmine gulped a lump down her throat. She quickly pushed the fear aside, her expression hardened as she spoke in a firm tone. "What do you want from me Alexander?"Alex chuckled in response and replied. "I saw you and your precious Chad all over the news.You must think you are so muc
