CALLIE

I arrived at the VIP section 112 of the club where we had agreed to meet, my heart pounding harder than the bass shaking the walls. I paused at the door, smoothing down my dress as I glanced inside.

And then, I saw him.

He sat casually on the couch, sipping a drink. His appearance took me by surprise- too refined, too elegant, and way too good-looking for someone in his line of work.

"Get it together, Callie," I whispered, straightening my back and summoning a confidence I didn’t feel as I walked toward him.

“You’re late,” he said, raising his head to meet my gaze with those gorgeous brown eyes.

Ignoring the formality, I sat into the seat across from him and crossed my arms. “Let’s skip the small talk.”

His brows lifted slightly, but he didn’t reply.

“I didn’t come here for pleasantries,” I continued. “I came here for one thing. So let’s get to it.”

He gave me a surprised look, but I didn’t care.

Reaching for the zipper of my dress, I tugged it down, and it slid off my shoulders, leaving me in nothing but my matching lace bra and panties.

His drink halted midway to his lips as his eyes widened in shock.

“I’m all yours,” I whispered, standing tall in front of him. “So, let’s get started. Now.”

He stared at me for a long moment, his drink still frozen halfway to his lips. Then, as if coming to his senses, he placed the glass on the table and stepped closer.

Slowly, he slid his arms around me, lifting me effortlessly and setting me down on the table. His eyes locked on mine for a brief second before he leaned in, and his lips touched mine.

The kiss was soft, gentle, and not rushed. Heat coursed through me as his hands trailed along my back, drawing me closer and anchoring me to him.

My breath hitched as his fingers expertly traced the edges of my bra. With a flick, he unhooked it and threw it to the ground.

"Oh, you're so sexy," he muttered, cupping my breast with his hands while his tongue drew circles on my nipple.

My hand found its way into his pants, and I gasped when I felt his dick- it was huge.

"Can you come have me now?" I said, feeling my pussy dripping already. I was so turned on at this point.

He didn't say a word. He just kept his eyes locked on mine, slowly pulling off my panties before unhooking his pants and pulling out his dick.

I won’t lie, I had never seen a dick this big before. Well, I had only seen one a long time ago.

He then dragged me closer and went deep into me. I let out a loud moan, biting my lower lip to keep myself from screaming too loudly.

He kept thrusting slowly at first, then increased his pace. My head wanted to explode from the pleasure I felt.

The way he kept staring at me while he fucked me made the pleasure even more intense. Who was this guy?

I got down from the table and put my dress back on. What did I just do? Oh, I really enjoyed it.

“How much do I owe you?” I asked as I zipped up my dress.

He smirked, clearly amused by the question. “Well, I….”

Before he could finish, the door burst open, and a woman stormed in. “Who the hell are you?” she demanded, glaring at me.

I blinked, taken aback. “Excuse me?”

“I said, who are you, and what are you doing here?” she repeated. “This is my client. I was running late, and….”

“Your client?” I asked, trying to make sense of what she was saying.

“Yes. Mr Sebastian,” she said, gesturing toward the man who now looked far too entertained for my liking.

My eyes widened in horror. “Wait a minute. This isn’t VIP section 112?”

“No,” she snapped. “This is 121. Didn’t you check the damn sign?”

I turned to Sebastian, my face heating with humiliation. “You knew, didn’t you? You knew I was in the wrong room!”

He raised his hands in mock surrender, that infuriating smirk still plastered on his face. “I tried to tell you,” he said calmly. “But you were... persuasive.”

“You’re unbelievable!” I screamed at him. “Why didn’t you stop me?”

He leaned back against the couch. “Would you have listened?”

I opened my mouth to argue but realized he was right. I’d been too focused on taking control to let him get a word in.

“You... you’re despicable!” I spat, grabbing my bag. “I can’t believe this.”

I glared at him, as my hands trembled. “You’re the worst kind of man,” I continued, trying my best to keep my voice steady. “Sitting there like some smug, arrogant bastard while I made a complete fool of myself. You could’ve tried harder to stop me!”

He didn’t budge. Instead he sat there with that smirk on his lips and that alone fueled my anger.

“You think this is funny?” I snapped. “You’re pathetic. A joke. You probably get your kicks from letting women embarrass themselves, don’t you? Does it make you feel powerful? Does it?”

Sebastian’s calm demeanor didn’t waver. “Are you done?” he asked, his tone infuriatingly calm.

“No, I’m not done!” I shouted. “You’re a slimy, self-serving creep who doesn’t deserve a shred of decency. And your name? Sebastian? What are you, a third-rate romance novel villain?”

His lips twitched, like he was holding back laughter, and I lost it.

“Don’t you dare laugh!” I pointed a finger at him. “You don’t get to laugh, you smug bastard. You’re nothing but a low life.”

Sebastian folded his arms, leaning back casually. “Feel better now?”

I let out a frustrated growl, grabbed my bag, and stormed toward the door.

“You’ll regret this,” I muttered, throwing a final glare over my shoulder. “Mark my words, Sebastian, you’ll regret this.”

He didn’t respond, just watched me leave with that maddening smirk still on his face.

********************

SEBASTIAN

The next morning, I sat in the office that would officially become mine today, leaning back in the oversized leather chair and trying to focus on my coffee instead of the mountain of work that awaited me.

First day as CEO of this branch. I still wasn’t thrilled about it, but my father’s word was law.

The door opened, and Lucas strolled in like he owned the place. “Morning, Mr CEO,” he said, grinning as he sat in the chair across from me. “What’s with that smug look? Did the promotion come with an extra dose of arrogance?”

I smirked, swirling my coffee. “Let’s just say I had an interesting night.”

“Oh?” Lucas raised an eyebrow. “Do tell. You don’t usually look this entertained on a Monday morning.”

I couldn’t help the grin spreading across my face as the memory surfaced and, I told him everything.

Lucas stared at me like I’d just told him the wildest story he’d ever heard. “You let her go off on you? You? The guy who doesn’t take orders from anyone?”

I shrugged, a grin tugging at my lips. “It was… refreshing. I don’t think I’ve ever let a woman order me around like that. But then I really wish I could see her again.”

Lucas shook his head, still grinning. “You’re insane. You’re never seeing her again, though. So snap out of it. You’ve got bigger things to deal with… like running this branch.”

I groaned, leaning back in my chair. “Don’t remind me. Did my father really have to transfer you to another branch? I could’ve used a familiar face here.”

“You’ll survive,” Lucas said, waving me off. “Besides, you’ve got a top-notch assistant coming your way. She’ll make life easier for you.”

“Is that so?” I muttered, taking another sip of coffee.

Lucas nodded. “She’s efficient, smart, and not the kind to let you slack off. She should be here any minute.”

Before I could reply, a knock sounded at the door. Lucas grinned, gesturing toward it. “That’s her now.”

I turned toward the door as it opened, and when I saw who walked in, my coffee cup nearly slipped from my hand.

It was her.

The woman from the club.

And judging by the way her eyes widened when she saw me, she recognized me too.

    CALLIE I closed my car door, glanced up at the sleek glass building that housed my workplace, and took a deep breath to collect myself.Then, my phone buzzed in my bag. I hesitated, already seeing Ethan’s name flashing on the screen.The first instinct was to ignore it. After last night, the last thing I wanted was to hear his voice. But then I thought better of it. I wasn’t about to let him think I was sulking. Sure, I was still hurt, but I needed to keep my composure.The phone buzzed again. With a sigh, I picked it up. “What is it, Ethan?”“Callie,” he started. “I just… I wanted to say I’m sorry. About last night. I should’ve told you the truth earlier.”“It’s fine,” I said. “I’m over it.”“Really?” His voice was filled with disbelief. “Because…”“Ethan,” I interrupted, trying to keep my tone light. “It’s fine.

If I didn’t frame it this way, there was no way she’d accept the offer I was about to give her.Her hand hovered over the doorknob as she turned back to face me. Her voice wavered, though she tried to keep it steady. “What’s the condition?”I took a deep breath. “You can keep your job,” I began, “but you have to agree to one thing.”Her brows furrowed, and she crossed her arms, waiting.“You’ll act as my date for my family’s Christmas and New Year’s celebrations,” I said, watching her expression carefully. “You’ll have to pretend to be my girlfriend. After that, everything goes back to normal. You’ll keep your job, and I’ll stay out of your way.”Her jaw dropped. “You’re joking.”“I’m not,” I replied. “My father has been breathing down my neck, insisting I bring someone home. If I don’t, I’ll never hear the end of it.”She bl

    CALLIEI was really satisfied to see Ethan’s expression. Oh, this was priceless. Exactly what I hoped for.Sebastian, ever the opportunist, stepped forward with a smirk on his lips. “I’m sorry, Ethan, I don’t understand your question,” he said. “Callie is here with me. She’s my girlfriend.”As he spoke, his arm slid around my shoulders, pulling me close. I couldn’t help the smile that tugged at my lips as I glanced at Ethan. He still looked like he was trying to process what he was seeing.“Shall we?” Sebastian murmured, brushing past Ethan without waiting for a response.I matched his pace as we walked into the parlor, his hand still comfortably resting on my shoulder. And then I saw her… Sophie. She was resting on the armrest of the couch, with a glass of wine in her hand. The moment her gaze landed on me, her eyebrows shot up.“Callie?” she said, her voice filled with surprise.I met her gaze, letting a smirk curl on my lips. “Sophie,” I replied coolly, before turning my attention

    CALLIEI was stunned. Was he seriously asking me to marry him? Right here, in front of his parents?This felt surreal… like a scene from one of those over-the-top romantic movies where the heroine swoons and says yes. Except, this wasn’t a movie. It was my life, and I wasn’t sure what to say.I glanced at the ring, the diamond glittering under the soft glow of the Christmas lights. It was beautiful… almost as beautiful as the man kneeling before me. My heart wavered as I met Sebastian’s gaze.I loved him. There was no denying that now. But we’d only known each other for a week. Was this crazy? Yes. But did I want to lose him if I said no?My thoughts scrambled for clarity, and in a moment of desperation, I silently asked, ‘Santa Claus, what do you think I should do?’The room felt like it was closing in on me, with his parents watching and smiling widely.I needed a second. Just one second to think.As I took a slow step back, my foot caught on something and before I could steady myse

    CALLIEBefore Sophie could finish her sentence, the door swung open, and Mr Thompson stepped in, his eyes flicking between us.“What were you two discussing?” he asked.Sophie froze, her face turning pale. She glanced at me quickly before murmuring, “Nothing, Mr Thompson. Just… just helping Callie.”I could feel the tension in the air as Mr. Thompson studied her for a moment longer. Then, with a nod, he turned his gaze to me.“I wanted to speak with Sophie,” he said, his voice oddly cold. “Excuse us.”Sophie dropped what she was holding immediately, and as she followed Mr Thompson out of the kitchen, I felt a strange sense of unease crawl up my spine.What was going on?A few moments later, Sebastian, Ethan, and Charlotte returned, their laughter and voices filling the hallway.“Callie, you should come to the parlor,” Sebastian said with a grin on his face as he extended his hand. “It’s almost time for the gift exchange.”I nodded and followed them.

Ethan, standing there kissing the woman I cared about so deeply… right after the audacity of gifting her those… panties.Callie’s eyes widened in shock the moment she saw me, her lips parting as she stammered, “Sebastian, it’s not… it’s not what you think!”Her voice cracked as she tried to explain, but my gaze had already shifted to Ethan. He wasn’t even trying to look apologetic. Instead, he stood there with a smug grin plastered across his face.That was it.I felt my blood boil, the heat rising to my face as I took a step toward him. My fists clenched, and before I knew it, I hit him hard on his face.Ethan stumbled back, but instead of retaliating, he simply wiped the corner of his mouth, still smirking.“Feel better now?” he taunted, his voice dripping with mockery. “You should enjoy it whi

The first call went to voicemail. Then the second. I bit my lip, my hands trembling as I called again.Finally, on the fourth ring, he answered.“What do you want, Callie?” “Sebastian,” I began talking. “I know you’re upset, and you have every right to be. But… please, where are you? I need to see you.”“I just want to be alone,” he muttered, the pain in his voice evident even through the phone.“I know,” I whispered. “But I don’t want you to be alone right now. Please, Sebastian. Let me be with you.”There was a long pause, and I held my breath, waiting.“I’ll send you my location,” he finally said.A moment later, my phone buzzed with a text. I glanced at it and saw an address.

At the front desk, the receptionist barely had time to smile before Sebastian cut in. “We’ll take a room. Now.” The woman blinked, flustered, but quickly handed him the key. I bit back a laugh, loving how commanding he was. The moment we stepped into the room, the door clicked shut behind us, and Sebastian turned to me. His eyes burned with an intensity that made my breath hitch. “No interruptions this time,” he murmured, stepping closer. “None,” I whispered, reaching for him, closing the distance between us. He wasted no time pulling me into his arms, his lips capturing mine in a heated kiss. He pulled my coat and I followed suit, pulling off his shirt and letting my fingers trace over his chest.

I didn’t want there to be chaos when it all went down.”I narrowed my eyes. “You’re not serious,” I muttered, lightly hitting his head playfully.

The entire room seemed to tense as the officers approached Charlotte, who was still writhing on the floor, her hands desperately clutching at her bleeding legs."Charlotte Lawson," Nora’s voice rang out, echoing through the room, "You are under arrest for attempted murder. You’re also charged with the murder of Damon Wright and the murder of your son, Lucas Lawson."My heart skipped a beat. Attempted murder? Who’s Damon?

The brushes moved across my face like they were supposed to, but my mind kept drifting, wondering how the hell I had ended up here. This was supposed to be the day I’d dreamed about since I was a little girl, the perfect celebration of love and happiness. But instead, all I could think about was how surreal it felt.

It was meant to make her forget all about that witch and focus on us.I glanced over at her, and for a moment, our eyes met. I could see the worry still clouding her thoughts, but her lips curled up just slightly. That was all I needed. I wasn’t giving up.

The thought of her standing by my side for the rest of our lives filled me with a sense of pride I couldn’t put into words. But today… today was about proving it.

I had just bought my dream wedding gown… a simple but stunning straight dress. I couldn’t wait to wear it as I walked down the aisle to marry the man standing beside me.The baker ushered us to a cozy table near the counter, where a variety of cake samples had already been laid out. “Alright, let’s get started.
