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

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

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

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

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

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

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 POV “Come on! Are you going to keep ignoring me? I said I am sorry already! Which mind you, isn't something I say often.” Ronan says with a pout as he unlocked the door to the house.I remained silent, glaring at him as the door clicked open and we walked in. I expected to see Adam around because he was usually hovering around the sitting room and the kitchen, but I couldn't find him. Maybe he is sleeping, I thought with a shrug.He let out a sigh before pulling me closer to him, wrapping his arm around my waist. He gives me a pleading look. “Please don't be mad, I promise you will enjoy this evening!”“I doubt that,” I say huffing as wriggle out of his stone-like grip as I head upstairs to take a shower in my room.Ronan chuckles as he follows behind me. When I got to the door of my room, I turned to arch a brow at him in question.“I need to take a shower, so if you will excuse me…” I made a shooting gesture which made him smirk and gave me an amused look.“Don't take too l

Ronan's POV It's been a week since Sabrina moved in with me and it's been a blissful experience. I never knew staying with someone could be so peaceful and enjoyable.“Sir, I have completed the paperwork for Miss Seattle’s transfer to the tech department. Mr. David signed his approval this morning.” Micheal, head of human resources said into the phone.“That's good! She will be resuming on Monday.” I say hanging up and placing the phone back on the table.I stood up and stretched to relieve my muscles from the stiffness. I have barely risen from my desk since morning. The Monaco project we are planning to launch at the end of the month has been keeping me occupied lately. After the stress of the week, I need to get some rest and unwind a little which is why I am closing earlier than usual. I picked up my briefcase and phone before heading out of my office. My eyes immediately landed on Sabrina with her head bent over some papers on her desk. I gently shut my office door so as not

Sabrina's POV “Wow, this place is amazing! I can't even afford a bottle of water in this place .” I exclaim in awe as Maxwell drops us off. I am aware Ronan is rich, I mean the shopping at the boutique proved that, but still, bringing me to a five-star restaurant where a cup of water probably cost up to 100 dollars? I don't want to know how much money Ronan has in his account to be able to afford all of these luxuries without stress.“Darling I am the one paying so you don't need to bother about affording a bottle of water.” He frowned. “I can afford it, so just relax and enjoy yourself.” with the confident smile of someone who knows his worth, he takes my hand in his and me inside.I discreetly finger my hair hoping to straighten it into something a little nice. Because of how late I was this morning I hadn't had time to do anything to my hair. I wasn't expecting to go out. I drop my hand back to my side when I see that my attempt to arrange it is only worsening it.Immediately we s

Sabrina's POV “Hey, beautiful! How are you doing?” Richard asks, placing a cup of coffee in front of me. My gaze snapped up from the paperwork Ronan gave me yesterday. I have been trying to sort them into their different folders. “I'm good Richard! Thank you for the tea. What's the occasion?” I ask curious He arches a brow as he perches on the edge of my desk, followed by an ominous creak under his weight. “Do I need a special occasion to get my new bestie a cup of coffee? So how is your second day going?” I shook him a grateful smile loving his jovial nature. He has been a breath of fresh air since I started here “My day just got better with you here. But don't you have work to do? Why are you frolicking about?” I ask in mock disdain. He scoffs before rising to his feet. “Seriously, this is the thanks I get for coming to take care of the woman of my dreams?” He clothes his chest dramatically and I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his poor attempt at flirting. “Yo

Sabrina's POV “Are you okay?” Ronan asks for the third time since we left his parent's house. “I told you already. I am fine.” I lied. I don't know how I feel right now but I don't think telling Ronan about it is the best thing to do at the moment, besides whining about what has happened isn't going to change anything. I just want to get to my room, lock my doors, and let all of the frustrations and pain I feel inside out.“I know I have said it before but I am still very sorry about what happened to my parents. I never expected Mom to slap you. I know she can sometimes lose her cool but I have never seen her physically assault anyone before.” Ronan says, sounding very apologetic. I shrugged. “You don't need to apologize. You are not responsible for your mother's actions. Besides I signed up for this contract so I guess I have to be prepared for everything that comes with it.” I say feigning nonchalance.“You didn't sign up for being physically abused, Sabrina. I will talk to my

Ronan's POV I knew the news about my engagement to Sabrina wasn't going to go down well, especially bearing in mind that Mom keeps forcing me to get married to Olivia because of her family and the wealth married to her would bring to us, as if we needed their money. However, never in my wildest imagination did I expect the absolute chaos that rained down the minute I declared Sabrina as not just pregnant with my babies but that I intended to marry her.Before I could blink an eye, Olivia leaped from her chair and tackled Sabrina to the ground. I jumped in, tearing her away from Sabrina and pulling her to myself which seemed to infuriate her more as she tried to rush over to her“Stop it, Olivia! I know you are mad, but it's unfair to attack Sabrina!” I shouted “It's unfair? Did I just hear you right? She stole you away from me and you think I should not teach this gold-digging whore a lesson?” She demands eyes blazing with wrath.“I didn't steal anyone. I never knew he was your boy

Sabrina POV “Relax, you are too fidgety. It's just dinner.” Ronan says as we approach the entrance of his parent's mansion. Easy for him to say! He isn't the one going into what may likely be the lion's den. The house is so big and intimidating. The presence of heavy security personnel patrolling the entire place does little to calm my nerves. I wonder why they need this much security or if it's just today because of the dinner. I take a deep breath and force myself to relax after all it's just a dinner like Ronan said. All we have to do is eat, break the news of our engagement to his parents, answer a few questions, and head back home. What could go wrong? I thought as the doors to the house opened at our approach and Ronan and I walked in. I wore the red dress we picked at the boutique paired with a beautiful gold sandal and a gold clutch. I let my long hair fall freely to my waist. The gold necklace and earrings Ronan gifted me, complement the outfit beautifully, giving me

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,

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.“
