In Love with My Fiance's Enemy Chapter 12
Sabrina's POV “You know you don't have to pack me lunch right?” I asked Adam as he passed me a beautiful lunch bag. He waves away my objection, “It's what I am paid for, besides, I have a feeling you will need to eat to face what is waiting for you at the firm today.” Adam's reply sounded ominous.I shoot him a worried look. I suspect working with Ronan without going through the normal interview process would raise some eyebrows but I am not expecting a war or outright antagonism.“Is there something happening at the firm, I should know about?” “Not really. It's just that this is the first time Ronan is going to walk with an employee who also happens to be his fiance, so I suspect the reception may not be welcoming.”“That is enough Adam! You may leave.” Ronan cuts in as he strides towards us looking yummy in a gray suit and white shirt that does nothing to hide all those muscles. Those beautiful eyes that should be illegal are presently glaring daggers at Adam.“I'm sorry sir, I w

Sabrina's POV I was still flipping through the folder the rude lady dropped on my new desk in the office attached to Ronan’s office when I heard someone clearing their throats. My head snapped up as I eyed the gorgeous male specimen standing before me.The stranger lets out a loud whistle as he smiles and walks closer to me. He is dressed in an expensive-looking suit and at his 6’3 height, he towers over me.“Hi! I see you are Ronan's new secretary. I am Richard from the mergers and acquisition department.” He says stretching out his hand for a handshake, with a pleasant smile on his face. I shake his hand and return the smile, glad to find someone here who doesn't outrightly hate me.“Hi! I am Sabrina and Yes I am Ronan's new secretary.” I replied. He puts his hand back into his pocket before giving him a once over, not even bothering to pretend he is checking me out. However, instead of finding his stare making me aroused like Ronan's stare usually does, all I feel is amusement.“

Sabrina's POV “I know I said Ella would take you shopping earlier, but with this dinner development, I have to go with you to make sure you get a proper outfit that Mom wouldn't take issue with,” Ronan says, immediately we got into the car. I seized the opportunity to give him a piece of my mind about the dinner.“Why do I need to attend this dinner anyway? I thought you at least would want this arrangement to work, so why in the world would you spring up such a surprise on me, knowing fully well how unprepared we are for the tale of our dying love we need to spin to your Mom to convince her we are in love.” I say, feeling out of breath.I didn't expect the soft apologetic look that Ronan shoots me when I am done with my little speech.“I'm sorry about this, Brina. Mom usually insists I come over to the house once a month for family dinner. She says when a family eats together it breeds love and care.” He says that part with an eye roll like he doesn't believe that. I remain silent,
In Love with My Fiance's Enemy CHAPTER ONE
Sabrina's Pov By the time I got back home from the cafe where I worked, it was already nighttime and the only thought that ran through my head was to jump right into the shower, and eat some home-cooked dinner made by my best friend and roommate; Coral, and then fall right into sleep, while trying my best not to let the thoughts of my piling debts and student loans interfere with my rest and pull me into insomnia. I stepped through the threshold of our apartment, to be greeted by the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen. My stomach responded with a rumble, eagerly anticipating the moment that I would devour it. "Hey, Rina," Coral's warm voice called out as she walked out of the kitchen to welcome me. There was a beaming smile stretching across her face, her coffee-colored eyes twinkling with a delight that seemed to hint at something. “Hey, Coral. What's cooking?” I shamelessly allowed my appetite to take the lead. “Oh, that. I was making us some Mac and cheese for dinner bu
In Love with My Fiance's Enemy CHAPTER TWO
Sabrina's PovCoral's sleek car drove its way through the iron gates, ushering us into a world I had only ever dreamt of. It was a stunning estate. A testament to wealth and privilege. The driveway alone had more grandeur than I had ever seen in my life, adorned with a breathtaking fountain filled with exotic, multi-colored fish.As we were briefly stopped by the gate guards to confirm our entry, I gazed in wonder at the sprawling property, my mind wondering at the thought of who might own such an extravagant estate. A business mogul, maybe?Coral's car rolled to a stop in the lavish parking lot, among a fleet of luxury vehicles and sleek limousines. Stepping out of the car, I was met with the sight of elegantly dressed guests strolling towards the grand estate, their evening gowns and designer suits shimmering in the fading light.As they made their way towards the party, I couldn't help but feel a bit out of place. My borrowed dress, though stunning, couldn't mask the fact that I wa
In Love with My Fiance's Enemy CHAPTER THREE
Sabrina’s PovIt was raining now but I did not care. My legs carried me behind the building, the shadows of the structure providing a temporary respite from the deluge outside. I leaned against the cool, damp wall, allowing the rain to drench me as I slid down to the ground. Seeing that I was all alone now, I let the tears flow freely. My shoulders shook with each unstifled sob, bitter tears mingling with the raindrops on my skin.At that moment, the painful memories of my high school days came rushing through my mind. The biting comments, the ruthless teasing the reminder of my poverty and lack of family, the soul-crushing feeling of being an outcast. All of it came rushing back in vivid detail. And on days like that when I was picked on, it was Coral who stood up for me and defended me from the kids when no one else would.In the blink of an eye, the past dissolved, and I found myself thrust back into the present, a present where my trusted ally had become my betrayer. The laughter

Sabrina’s PovWhen I got home, I slept off even though I was shivering in the cold. I was woken up the next morning with Coral pushing aside the curtains, allowing the subtle bright sunlight to seep through the windows and hit my eyes. I blinked, my eyes fluttering open against the sudden intrusion of light, only to find Coral standing before me, her figure illuminated by the morning's rays.I sat up on the bed, rubbing my hands over my body from the cold of last night. I was still feeling really cold and shivering slightly.“Good morning!” Coral beamed a smile at me as our eyes met and she drew the last curtain in the mirror aside. “Did you have a wonderful sleep?”As Coral stood before me, cheerful and all smiles, my mind scrambled to make sense of the situation. Was the party from last night only a mere figment of my imagination, or perhaps a dream?The pain in my heart ached with a clarity that denied any illusion. Every moment, every twisted smile, every whispered insult from the
In Love with My Fiance's Enemy CHAPTER FIVE
SABRINA'S POV All my belongings, including my books, a few clothes and jewelry fit into the only box I had. The box was a bit worn at the edges but since I can't afford to buy a better one at such a notice, it will have to do for now.Looking around the room to be sure nothing of mine was left behind, because I am pretty sure if I left anything behind, Coral will definitely throw it in the garbage. I sighed deeply as I took hold of the box and walked out of the room that I have lived in for the past two years of my life.Coral, who is sitting on the couch, watching the TV in the sitting room, continued flipping from one channel, doesn't even bother to acknowledge me as I dragged my box past her chair and opened the door. I was just about to close the door when she finally turned to me, eyes practically shooting daggers at me,“Don't ever step foot in my house again, you low life!” She spat out venomously.Not having the energy to respond to her, I quietly shut the door of her apartme

Ronan's POV I blinked at Sabrina as she made her demand that I give her a job at the firm. I must confess I am secretly surprised she is showing some backbone and not afraid to demand what she wants. It's one of the qualities that drew me to her because for the role she will be playing for the next 6 months she will need some backbone to handle Olivia and my mum.“Hmm since there is no vacancy at the firm at the moment, your request will be hard.” I lied pretending to think about it. Honestly, though, I had intended to give her a job at the firm that would be a perfect way to show her off as my fiancee which invariably makes Olivia back off.“You have to make it possible because I am signing those papers unless you agree. She huffs, sounding indignant when both know she doesn't have a choice but to sign it. I refrain from calling her bluff as my eyes trail down the tiny robe she is wearing.My mind involuntarily pictures her without it and I wrestle to bring my body under control.
In Love with My Fiance's Enemy chapter 10
Sabrina's POV I took the longest shower of my life as I soaked in the bathtub enjoying the relaxing feel it brought. A sudden knock on my bedroom door causes me to groan in exasperation.After the tour of Ronan's mansion, Adam emotionally blackmailed me to go grocery shopping with him. We just got back less than 30 minutes ago, feeling so tired and stressed which is why I hightailed to my room to bathe immediately we stepped into the mansion and I intended to remain here for at least another 10 minutes. What if I pretended not to hear the knock, maybe Adam would just leave, I thought I relaxed back in the tub soaking in the warmth. However, the knock became more insistent. I sigh in annoyance as I rinse the soap off my body and grab the first towel I touched on the line, wrapping it around my chest as I walk out of the bathroom. I pulled the bedroom open angrily intending to give Adam a piece of my mind for disrupting my bath, “Adam! You are….” My mouth snaps shut and my eyes wide
In Love with My Fiance's Enemy CHAPTER NINE
Sabrina's POV I need to get something to eat. I thought after my stomach growled loudly for the third time, reminding me that I skipped breakfast this morning. In between my house to get all my belongings out of Carol's house and my run-in with Ronan this morning, breakfast had slipped off my mind.I hung my last piece of clothing in the wardrobe and closed it as I turned around to take in my new room. The room is a vast improvement from the room I had stayed at Coral's. The space was large enough to fit in two extra rooms and the bed is just so heavenly. I'm very sure I have ever slept in a bed as big and grand as this. Everything in the room screams wealth and elegance. It was as if I died and woke up in Lala land. “It's for just six months. Once the contract term is up, you will be out of all this luxury and opulence so don't get used to it.” That snide inner voice of mine remarked.True, I thought as I made my way downstairs. I know this is just temporary, but I am determined t
In Love with My Fiance's Enemy CHAPTER EIGHT
Ronan POV “This is your bedroom for the next six months. Please get settled in. Adams will give you a tour of the place later in the day.” I said briskly. I feel her eyes widen as she takes in the size of the bedroom. I don't get why she is acting like she just landed in some fairy tale since we got into the house. It's just a house, I thought, truly perplexed.“I have to leave for work. If you need anything, you can just ring the bell in your room and Adam will come. You are free to explore the house, especially my bedroom.” I can't help but tease her, knowing she would blush prettily, a sight I haven't seen in years. “You wish!” She scoffs.Like I predicted she blushes bright red, making her look more captivating. I can't help but stare at her. Her beauty and innocence were what captured my attention across that parking lot when I saw her dragging that monstrosity she calls a bag.“My Attorney will send the contract document to you before the end of today. If there is any clause

Sabrina’s POV “I hope you didn't spit into the coffee cup after I turned my back” Mr Hottie said the moment I placed his order on the table.“I'm a professional sir and would never do that” I stated forcefully, already feeling annoyed.“Oh don't get yourself all riled up, I was only kidding” “With all due respect sir, that was an expensive joke that could cost me my job if someone had heard you” I hissed “You are right, that was out of line and I am sorry about that” he said, raising his hands in a gesture of peace, before picking up his coffee and taking a sip. He took a minute to savor the taste before gulping down the rest of the content in one swoop.“You make a mean cup of coffee, this tastes really good, welldone.” If he thought his commendation would ease the sting of his poor attempt to joke, he had something else coming.“Thank you, I guess.” I replied grudgingly, still a little pissed at him.“Why don't you take a seat?” He gestured to the chair across from him.“I don't

I was wrong! My day gets more shitty I thought as I ran into Greg at the staircase on my way back from the restroom and headed to the counter. Already dressed in the Cafe's stipulated dress code of blue jeans and a Kings Palace Cafe white T-shirt, I feel a bit more comfortable. I still don't get the rationale behind using a white T-shirt as a uniform for a Cafe. “Well, well well! Look who the cat got dragged in!” He drawled “Hello, Greg!” I greeted forcing a smile “You are late Rina,” he said trying to look down his nose at me For a man who is barely 5 ft 3, with a slim body build and average looks, let's just say his intimidation tactics aren't working. “I apologize for my tardiness, it won't happen again sir” adding the ‘sir’ to stroke his ego a little. “Hmmm, make sure it doesn't happen again” “It won't sir!” “Well, I heard from a little birdie that someone who looks exactly like you, was seen entering this Cafe with her luggage, that could not have been you right
