THE BILLIONAIRE'S TWO-FACED BRIDE Chapter 1
Kehlani’s Pov My heart lurched forward in my chest and bile rose up in my throat. I fought hard to keep it down, breathing in deeply. “Wedding jitters, it's just wedding jitters. You can't start having cold feet now, Kelly. You can't. You'll be getting married to the love of your life in a few minutes, you can't throw up on your wedding gown.” I gave myself a little pep talk as I paced around in the small room I was in. “Where the heck is Natalie anyways? She was supposed to be here with me? I'm so nervous that I can barely think.” I muttered to myself but I really couldn't stay alone any longer. I went towards the door, opening it slightly and peeking out. There was no one in the hall, I tiptoed outside and began looking for Natalie. I checked all the rooms but I couldn't find her. Just as I was about to turn back to the little room that I was in, I heard moans coming from my left. I narrowed my eyes because who the heck was having sex on my wedding day? I really wanted to leave,

Kehlani’s Pov “You're joking, aren't you? Please tell me that you're joking.” I stared at my father whose face turned even darker at my question. “Don't make me repeat myself Kehlani.” He said, his voice stern. “You… What kind of father asks his daughter to marry a man who is sleeping with her sister? Are you crazy?!” I questioned in pure horror, “She's been sleeping with the man I was going to get married to! My very own sister! And you both knew about it all along! You knew about it and you didn't even tell me? I found out about it now and you're still telling me to marry that bastard?! How dare you?! She… ack!” I stumbled to the ground, my hands flying to my face as I stared at my mother in shock. She had slapped me. My mother had slapped me. “We fed you, we clothed you and you can't even overlook something like this? She's your sister for fucks sake!” My cheek stung, the pain spreading not just on my cheeks but in my heart as well. I stared up at my mother in disbelief, my c

Kehlani's Pov The man tilted his head, studying me with a sharp, calculating gaze, “Don’t play games with me.” He said coolly, “We know exactly who you are. Selene Veylin, runaway bride and family disgrace. Did you really think you could escape without consequences?” I blinked, my heart racing as confusion and panic mingled in my chest, “I’m not Selene.” I said, my voice cracking, “I’m Kehlani Silver, I have no idea who this Selene person is so please let me go.” I begged, my heart beating so loudly against my chest.His smirk faltered, replaced by a flicker of doubt, “Kehlani Silvers?”“Yes.” I insisted, trying to steady my breathing, “I am the eldest daughter of the Silver Family, and I'm not Selene. She’s the one you’re looking for, not me. I was at the wedding because I was the bride and I ran away because I found out that my husband… the man I was going to marry was sleeping with my younger sister.” My voice rose with desperation. He straightened, his posture tense as he mull

Kehlani's Pov “So.” He said, ignoring my question, his voice was smooth but laced with an undercurrent of menace, “This is the woman who ran away from the wedding?”I opened my mouth to protest, but he held up a hand, silencing me. “Save your excuses.” He said, his tone dismissive, “Whether you are Selene or Kehlani, it doesn’t matter.”I squared my shoulders, meeting his gaze head-on, “I’m not Selene.” I began, “And like I said before, you have gotten the wrong person. I don't know who this Selene is but she has no relationship to me.” His lips quirked into a small, humorless smile, “You’re bold.” He said, his eyes narrowing slightly, “I’ll give you that. But boldness won’t save you.” “Neither will mistaken identity.” I shot back, my anger bubbling to the surface, “If you’re smart, you’ll stop wasting your time with me and go find the real Selene.” The room fell silent as he studied me, his expression unreadable. Then, to my surprise, he chuckled, a low, dark sound that sent

Kehlani’s POVThe room was silent for a long moment after my declaration. Alec Castor’s eyes studied me, unreadable, calculating. I had just agreed to marry him, but I wasn’t naïve—I knew this wasn’t the end of it."Good," he finally said, a slow smirk creeping onto his face. "Then let's discuss the details."I crossed my arms, refusing to let his confidence shake me. "First, my grandmother. I want it in writing that she'll get the best care. No loopholes, no conditions."He raised an eyebrow, seemingly amused by my boldness. "You drive a hard bargain, I'll give you that," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "But I think we can arrange something that will put your mind at ease.""I want it in writing," I repeated, my voice firm. "I don't want any promises or handshakes. I want a contract, signed and notarized."He chuckled, the sound low and husky. "You're a tough businesswoman, aren't you?" he said, his eyes glinting with admiration. "I like that.""I'm just trying to protect m

Kehlani's POVI stared at the contract Alec’s assistant had just handed me, flipping through the pages. My eyes scanned the fine print, searching for any loopholes.Alec leaned back in his chair, watching me with an amused expression. “You don’t trust me?”I scoffed. “Of course not.”Alec chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Fair enough. I wouldn't trust me either if I were you."I raised an eyebrow. "And why's that?"He shrugged, his smile growing wider. "Let's just say I have a reputation for being... unpredictable."I snorted. "That's one way to put it."Alec leaned forward, his elbows on the table. "So, what do I have to do to earn your trust?"I laughed, a harsh sound. "You think it's that easy?"He nodded, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I'm willing to try."I shook my head, studying him. "I'm not sure you're capable of being trustworthy."Alec's smile never wavered. "Oh, I'm capable of anything I set my mind to."The air between us seemed to vibrate with tension, an

Kehlani’s POVThe hospital smelled like antiseptic and something else—something I couldn’t quite name but had always hated. It was the smell of waiting. Of uncertainty. Of loss.I adjusted the simple black dress I had changed into after removing the cursed wedding gown and stepped into my grandmother’s hospital room. The rhythmic beeping of the machines filled the silence, her frail body lying motionless on the bed.For a moment, I just stood there, gripping the strap of my purse like it was the only thing keeping me together.“Grandmother,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. “I’m here.”She didn’t respond. Of course, she didn’t.I swallowed hard and stepped closer, reaching out to take her cool, wrinkled hand in mine.I stood before her, my voice barely above a whisper, as if hoping that somehow, someway, she'd hear me."I know you can't hear me," I murmured, the words tumbling out of my mouth like a desperate confession. "But I still need to say this. I need to tell you the truth

Kehlani’s POVThe town car Alec brought to pick me up glided to a stop in front of the penthouse building, its tinted windows reflecting the city’s neon lights. I hadn’t spoken a word since leaving the hospital. My mind was still back in that sterile room, lingering on Mrs. Langley’s words."Your grandmother would be proud of you."Would she?I clenched my fingers around the strap of my purse. I could hear Alec shifting in his seat beside me, but he didn’t say anything. He hadn’t rushed me when I told him I needed to see my grandmother first. He hadn’t questioned my silence in the car. And now, as the driver opened my door, he simply stepped out and waited for me to follow.I inhaled deeply, squaring my shoulders. New life, Kehlani. You agreed to this. Walk like you belong.Inside the large apartment complex, the lobby smelled of leather and expensive cologne. A doorman greeted us with a polite nod, and I forced myself to acknowledge him in return. Alec led the way to the private elev

Kehlani's POVI could barely think. It had been days since Noah went missing, and I felt like I was losing my mind. Sleep was a distant memory, replaced with endless worry and a growing pit of frustration in my stomach. Alec, on the other hand, was buried behind his desk, endlessly combing through files, calls, and whatever else he was doing to track Noah down. But nothing had changed. Noah was still gone.And I was still waiting.When Alec finally returned home that night, his face was lined with exhaustion. He loosened his tie as he walked in, but I didn’t care about how tired he looked. I cared about the fact that he was moving too slowly. That every second wasted was a second Noah spent in some unknown place, alone and afraid.“You’re late.” My voice was sharper than I intended, but I didn’t take it back.Alec sighed, rubbing his forehead before setting his briefcase down. “Kelhani, I told you, I’m doing everything I can.”“That’s the problem!” I snapped. “You keep saying that, bu

Kehlani’s POV The café was sleek and modern, a place filled with professionals chatting over espressos and influencers snapping photos of their lattes. It was exactly the kind of place Natalie would choose—trendy, expensive, and a reflection of the success she loved to flaunt.I spotted her instantly. Seated near the window, she was dressed in a cream-colored designer jumpsuit, her perfectly manicured fingers scrolling through her phone as if she hadn’t a care in the world. Meanwhile, my world was falling apart.I marched up to the table, my heels clicking against the tiled floor. Natalie barely looked up before a smirk tugged at her lips. “Well, well. Look who decided to show up. I was beginning to think you chickened out.”I pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down. “Where is he?”Her brows furrowed in mock confusion. “He? You’ll have to be more specific, Kehlani. I know a lot of ‘he’s.’”I clenched my fists under the table, willing myself to stay calm. “Noah. Did you take hi
THE BILLIONAIRE'S TWO-FACED BRIDE Chapter 67
Kehlani's POVThe weight of my phone pressed against my palm, my fingers hovering over the call button as my heart pounded in my chest. Every passing second felt like an eternity. Alec had left to search the surrounding areas, the police had already started their investigation, and I—I needed to do something.Taking a deep breath, I scrolled through my contacts and pressed on Natalie’s name. My thumb trembled as I brought the phone to my ear. It rang once. Twice. Three times.“Kehlani?” Natalie’s voice was sharp with surprise. “What’s wrong? It’s late.”I sucked in a breath. “Natalie, I—” My voice cracked. I cleared my throat and tried again. “It’s Noah. He’s missing.”Silence stretched on the other end before she finally spoke, her tone turning cold with urgency. “What do you mean missing?”I gripped the phone tighter. “He was taking a nap. When I went to check on him, he was gone. I searched the house, the backyard, the street—he’s just…gone.”“Oh my god.” There was a rustling soun
THE BILLIONAIRE'S TWO-FACED BRIDE Chapter 66
Kehlani’s POV The morning sun streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the kitchen as I set the plates on the table. The scent of fresh coffee mingled with the sweetness of syrup-drenched pancakes. Across from me, Noah swung his legs back and forth, his small hands clutching a fork as he absentmindedly pushed his food around the plate.I watched him for a moment before nudging his cup of milk closer. "You're awfully quiet this morning, buddy. Something on your mind?"Noah hesitated, his dark eyes flickering up to meet mine before dropping back to his plate. He let out a small sigh. "I was just thinking about my dad."My heart squeezed at the mention of Alec’s brother. Noah rarely talked about him, and when he did, it was always with that quiet sadness that never quite fit on his young face. I reached across the table and gave his hand a gentle squeeze. "Do you want to talk about him?"He nodded slowly. "I miss him. A lot. Uncle Alec is great, but it's not the same."
THE BILLIONAIRE'S TWO-FACED BRIDE Chapter 65
Kehlani's POVThe afternoon light slanted through my apartment window, painting golden stripes across the floor. I had just finished going through some last-minute details for my next pop-up event when my phone vibrated against the table. Alec’s name flashed on the screen.I hesitated for only a second before answering. “Hello?”There was a pause, then his voice came through, steady as always. “Kelhani. I need a favor.”Alec never called unless it was important. I sat up. “What’s wrong?”“It’s about Noah.”My heart tightened. I had always been close to Noah, Alec’s nephew, and knowing he needed me set off an immediate wave of concern. “Is he okay?”“He’s fine,” Alec reassured me. “But my grandmother needs to stay in the hospital for a few days, and there’s no one to stay with him at home. I can’t leave work right now, and I know you two are close.”A rush of emotions filled me. It had been a while since I’d visited Noah, and if he needed me, I wouldn’t hesitate. “I’ll go,” I said imme

Kehlani's POV The café was quiet for a weekday afternoon—just the hum of low conversations and the occasional clink of porcelain. I stirred my latte absently, watching the foam swirl as I waited for Diana. She was late, as usual, but I didn’t mind. It gave me time to think. My phone buzzed. Alec. Meeting ran long. Still at the office. Don’t wait up. I smirked. As if I ever did. “Sorry, sorry!” Diana’s voice cut through my thoughts as she slid into the chair across from me, her designer bag nearly toppling the sugar dispenser. “Traffic was a nightmare. You’d think New York would figure out how to build wider streets by now.” I pushed her untouched cappuccino toward her. “You’re lucky I love you.” She grinned, taking a sip. “Damn right.” Leaning forward, she lowered her voice. “So. Spill. How’s the empire-building going?” I rolled my eyes. “It’s not an empire. Yet.” “Yet,” she repeated, tapping her nails against the cup. “That’s the spirit.” I exhaled, flipping open my
THE BILLIONAIRE'S TWO-FACED BRIDE Chapter 63
Kehlani’s POVThe penthouse was quiet, save for the hum of the city below. Alec had disappeared into his study an hour ago, muttering something about contracts that needed reviewing. I should’ve gone to bed—God knew I needed the rest—but instead, I found myself curled up on the couch, flipping through a fashion magazine without really seeing the pages. My mind kept circling back to our conversation from earlier. "Then let’s do this."Had I really committed to this? To him? To whatever twisted game we were playing with Finn, with William, with my past? The sound of footsteps pulled me from my thoughts. Alec stood in the doorway, his tie loosened, sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He looked tired, but his gaze was sharp as ever. "You’re still awake," he observed, leaning against the doorframe. I shrugged, tossing the magazine onto the coffee table. "Couldn’t sleep." Alec pushed off the frame and walked over, sinking into the couch beside me. "Thinking too much?" "Aren’t I alw
THE BILLIONAIRE'S TWO-FACED BRIDE Chapter 62
Kehlani’s POVI didn’t know why I agreed to this.Sitting across from Alec in a quiet, dimly lit restaurant, I had to remind myself that this was about strategy. That this wasn’t a date. That I was here because he said it was important.And yet, as I watched him sip his whiskey, his gold-rimmed glasses glinting under the warm lights, I felt the lines blurring.“I still don’t see why we had to meet here,” I muttered, pushing the food around on my plate.Alec leaned back in his chair, the faintest smirk tugging at his lips. “Would you rather I took you to my place?”I shot him a look. “That’s not what I meant.”“Mm.” He took another sip. “You’re avoiding the real question, Kehlani.”I sighed. “Which is?”“Are you ready for what’s coming?”I tapped my fork against my plate, choosing my words carefully. “You make it sound like a storm is heading my way.”Alec tilted his head. “It is.”His certainty sent a shiver down my spine.He wasn’t the type to be dramatic. If he said something was co

Kehlani’s POVThe car ride from the gala had been quiet—too quiet. The tension in the air clung to my skin like humidity before a storm. I’d spent the entire evening pretending, playing my part, standing beside Alec as though we were an unshakable force. And yet, the moment we stepped out of that ballroom, the cracks became impossible to ignore.Alec had been staring out the window for the past fifteen minutes, one hand resting on his temple, the other drumming against his knee. His silence was calculated, like he was waiting for me to break it first.I wasn’t going to.The driver maneuvered through the streets of New York, its usual chaos muted at this late hour. The glow of streetlights flickered through the car windows, casting fleeting shadows on Alec’s face.Eventually, I sighed, crossing my arms. “Are we just going to sit in silence all night?”Alec smirked, finally turning his gaze toward me. “I was wondering how long you’d last.”I scowled. “I should’ve let it go longer just t
