Emma's POV "Have you gone mad? How can you even suggest something like that? " I got annoyed at George, hearing that."No, I am perfectly sane. Try to understand, Emma; it will be easier to convince your family further. " He gave his reason. " But they are already convinced. " I retorted. " What if they get to know that he is living in a hotel, they will get to know that you both are not serious about your relationship; otherwise, why would he live in a hotel when you have such a big and cozy home? It is not normal, Emma. " He said. " Fine!! He can come after two days, I need to make arrangements. But you, Ryan, stick to your room and don't interfere in my life or home. You will have to follow my rules if you want to stay there. " " Okay, ma'am!! " He grinned and nodded. Idiot!! " George, help him select some formal, partywear clothes and shoes for Eva's engagement and wedding ceremony. " " Hey, I have good clothes. Do you think I can't afford to have good clothes? I earn th

Emma's POV Beneath the suit, I chose a crisp white dress shirt, meticulously tailored to fit him perfectly. The shirt's subtle texture added a hint of luxury without overshadowing the overall ensemble. A silk navy-blue tie adorned with a discreet pattern completed the look, providing a tasteful pop of color against the charcoal backdrop.I carefully curated a sophisticated ensemble for him, ensuring he exuded charm and refinement. " Why are you so tensed, this is a part of the deal. I am not going to ask you to pay for the clothes. Consider them as perks of the deal. " I said. "I appreciate the effort, Emma, but I don't want your parents to think that I was trying too hard and I'm just after their money." "It's not about the money; it's about the image. If they see you as a successful, sophisticated man, they'll back off from pushing me to marry someone of their choice." I sighed, my frustration apparent.After much deliberation, they compromised on a stylish ensemble that struck

Emma's POVAs we explored more options, Ryan couldn't resist teasing me by suggesting some daring choices, like a bold velvet jacket or a flamboyant bow tie. "Come on, Emma, let's add a dash of wild to the mix. Your parents will love it!" "Ryan, we're not attending a circus. We need something classy." I raised an eyebrow and said. Amidst the formality, Ryan managed to slip into a few casual outfits that exuded charm without compromising style. He twirled in a well-fitted blazer, winking at Emma. "What do you think? Can I wear this to the pre-wedding festivities?"I couldn't help but laugh. "You're going to turn heads, that's for sure."We continued the process of trying on different outfits, each exchange made me more aware of him. As they moved on to accessories, Ryan couldn't resist a playful attempt at tying a bow tie. I couldn't resist teasing him about the silk tie as he had not tied the naught perfectly. "Oops, I think I messed it up. Mind helping me, Emma?" he asked me to t

Emma's POV "I think I am paying you to work, not to gossip. Go and do your work, or I will deduct your salary. " I threatened her but she smiled. " I said shut up!! He is just a friend. " " Liar!! If he is just a friend, why are you getting so hyper?? I am happy for you. " " Go and do your work, Lily. " I said. She smiled and went away, saying, " But I liked this one, very handsome and hot. Introduce me to him if he is single by any chance, and if, you are not interested. " Crazy girl!! Why do I have to deal with all the crazy people in the world? I kept working on some new designs, and after a few hours, it was my time to go home, so I drove home. I opened the door of my cottage; it was absolutely clean and calm, the way I liked it. That's why I bought this nice beautiful cottage on the outskirts of the city, away from the busy life and heavy traffic of the city. It had been a good summer, but now we were in October, and the blue sky beyond my window held the clear pureness
Hired Fiance Chapter 31
Emma's POV It was a beautiful cottage, only the kitchen was modern, as I could not deal with the old ways of cooking and wanted everything to be very functional and easy to use. I was still thinking about it when the doorbell rang. I went to open the door and saw him standing there with his luggage. The moment Ryan stepped into my home, his eyes widened in amazement. "Wow, your home is beautiful," he exclaimed, practically bouncing on his toes. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his enthusiasm." You came here in the morning as well, you didn't say anything at that time." I reminded him. " I wanted to, but George had told me to be quiet as you were very upset and tense, and later on when you were normal, we were already discussing more pressing and serious issues. But seriously, Emma, this place is like a dream!" He said and I thanked him with a polite smile. " I can't believe, I am going to live here with you. " He said again looking around. "Ryan, let's get one thing strai
Hired Fiance Chapter 32
Emma's POV "Ryan, I am allowing you to stay with me in my home, but since none of my family members are here, we don't need to pretend or be friendly. So stay as far as possible from me. Make yourself almost invisible to me. I don't like noise or to be disturbed, that's why I bought this cottage in the calm surroundings. Don't even think of spoiling the peace and tranquility that I need and feel here. " " I swear, you are very pretty but extremely boring. Fine, I will try not to disturb you deliberately. But I am not your servant, you need me more than I need you. So I will try not to disturb you, but I don't promise to follow your rules." He said. I was annoyed with his arrogance but I had no other choice as I had already introduced him to my family. " Fine!! But keep one thing in mind we need to be very convincing. My family will leave me alone only if they are convinced that I'm dating a serious, responsible man. So, no dance parties, no fights, no flirting, no guests, and def

Emma's POV " Are you not interested in men? Or are you interested in some particular man?" He asked again with a raised eyebrow. Ughhh!!! God, please forgive me, If I kill this man someday soon. " Listen for once and for all. I am saying this for, the last time, none of the assumptions you made are correct. I am not interested in all this. For me, my work is everything; I don't have time to waste on useless emotions. " I said firmly, and just then, the doorbell rang, and he went to get the food. He had ordered Italian food. He got the food while I got up to lay the table. The food smelt good, and we served food on our plates. I was so tense and felt guilty about deceiving my family. So could not eat much. He seemed to be very hungry and finished his food. " Hey, why are you not eating, the food was so good, you didn't like it? If so, I will order something else for you. " He asked. " No!! I don't feel like eating. Please don't worry. I am fine, just tense as I feel that I am

Emma's POV Next, he made me sit on a garden chair and made Ryan sit by my feet with his head on my lap, my fingers were in his hair. I got conscious of this as it was quite intimate. As the morning sun climbed higher, we changed outfits and locations. From the picturesque garden, we moved to a quaint café downtown. I wore a flowy sundress, and Ryan donned a crisp white shirt. George directed us to a cozy corner table by the window, where we sipped lattes and shared a pastry. The atmosphere was charmingly romantic, and for a few fleeting moments, it was easy to imagine we were just another couple in love with any person but me. I was a bit stiff. "Lean in closer, Emma," George instructed, his camera lens trained on us. "Rest your head on Ryan's shoulder."I hesitated for a second before complying, feeling the warmth of Ryan's body against mine. The scent of his cologne was comforting, and I closed my eyes, trying to immerse myself in the role I was playing. George's shutter continue
