Nadia stood before the full-length mirror, her breath catching as she took in her reflection. The dress was perfect—an intricate masterpiece of silk and lace, hugging her frame in all the right places. Delicate embroidery cascaded down the bodice, flowing seamlessly into the train that trailed behind her like a whispered promise. The soft ivory fabric contrasted beautifully against her skin, making her look almost ethereal.

Her dark hair was styled in a graceful updo, with loose strands framing her face. A simple veil draped over her shoulders, blending into the elegance of her gown. Her makeup was light, just enough to enhance the emotions shining in her brown eyes.

For a fleeting moment, she allowed herself to believe this was real. That she was truly a bride, standing on the edge of forever with the man she loved.

Yes—she loved him.

She could no longer deny it. Somewhere between the lies and the contract, between the cold glares and the unexpec

    The morning light filtered through the large glass windows of Sheena Valerio’s penthouse, casting a warm glow on the pristine marble floors. She sat elegantly on her white leather couch, sipping her morning coffee as she scrolled through her phone, expecting another routine day of social media updates and business news.But the moment her eyes landed on the latest headline, her fingers froze mid-scroll.“Theodore Thatcher Ties the Knot in a Private Ceremony”Her breath hitched.No.That… that couldn’t be right.With trembling hands, she tapped on the article, her heart hammering in her chest.

    Nadia sat on the edge of the bed, folding the last piece of clothing before placing it in the suitcase. The weight in her chest was growing heavier by the second. This house—this place that had become her safe haven—was no longer going to be her home.For now, at least.She inhaled deeply, pushing away the emotions bubbling inside her. She had made peace with this arrangement when she first agreed to it. The contract was clear—she was to be Theodore’s wife in name only. She had no right to feel anything beyond that.And yet…Her fingers hovered over the fabric of her dress, a quiet sigh slipping past her lips.“You’re thinking too much.”Nadia turned her head, finding Miranda leaning against the doorway with her arms crossed. Her sharp gaze softened slightly as she observed Nadia’s hesitant expression.Nadia smiled, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I just… I’m not used to being without Chris.”Miranda wal

    The soft hum of the jet’s engine filled the air as Nadia stared out the window, her fingers lightly pressed against the glass. The sight below was breathtaking—an island surrounded by an endless stretch of deep blue ocean, its shore lined with soft white sand and swaying palm trees. A modern glass house sat near the water, its sleek, minimalistic design blending harmoniously with nature. The yacht anchored nearby gleamed under the sunlight, and a private helipad stood at the edge of the island.It was unlike anything she had ever seen.Her heart pounded as the jet descended, the beauty of the scene making her momentarily forget the reason she was here. This wasn’t just some lavish honeymoon destination—it was secluded, untouched, and completely private.She wasn’t sure why that made her feel both exhilarated and uneasy.As the jet touched down smoothly on the helipad, Theodore was the first to rise.

    The night was quiet, the waves gently lapping against the shore as Nadia sat on the cool sand, arms wrapped around her knees. The moon hung high in the sky, casting its silver glow over the private island Theodore had brought her to. The air was warm, the scent of salt lingering in the breeze, but Nadia barely noticed.Footsteps crunched against the sand, steady and deliberate. She didn’t need to turn to know who it was.Theodore.Without a word, he lowered himself beside her, holding out a glass of wine. She hesitated before taking it, her fingers brushing against his for the briefest second.Nadia exhaled, swirling the liquid in her glass before bringing it to her lips. “Are there any cameras here?” she asked, her voice laced with something unreadable. “Or will I just wake up one day and find our little getaway all over social media?”Theodore looked at her, his expression unreadable. Then, to her surprise, he sighed. “No cameras.”

    "Who's protecting you?"Theodore's question was sharp, piercing through the moment of silence that had settled between them. It was a question that dug deep, one that wasn’t just about this night, about the way the ocean waves crashed on the shore beneath their feet. No, this was something bigger, something that transcended the present moment. His voice had an edge, a tenderness to it that made Nadia pause. She wasn’t used to that. Not from someone like him.Her gaze flickered toward him, and for a brief moment, she could see the vulnerability in his eyes—the very thing he worked so hard to hide. But as quickly as it appeared, it vanished behind a mask of cool indifference. Still, the question lingered, heavy in the air.Nadia took a deep breath, the night air cool against her skin, and let her gaze wander to the horizon. The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks below matched the turbulence inside her. She could feel the weight of his words, like

    Nadia sat at the small kitchen table, staring at the pile of bills in front of her. She was 25, but the weight of her years felt much heavier, carrying the burden of her brother’s medical expenses and a life of constant struggle. Chris, her younger brother, was the only family she had left. Their mother had died eight years ago, and their father had left them long before that, chasing another woman, abandoning them when they needed him most. Nadia had no one else. It was just her and Chris now.Her heart ached as she looked at the medical bills for Chris’s treatments—medication, hospital visits, and the long list of things that were necessary to keep him alive and healthy. Long hours at multiple jobs, cutting back on anything that wasn’t essential, but it was never enough. The bills kept piling up, and the world around her felt like it was closing in. Nadia had never imagined her life would come to this—barely making ends meet, with nothing but a hope that tomorrow would be better.Th

    Theodore Thatcher was the definition of a self-made billionaire, already at the top of the renowned list of billionaires worldwide. At 29, he was the youngest to ever achieve such a status. His empire stretched across industries, from technology to real estate, with his name on the lips of the most powerful figures in business. Every move he made was calculated, every decision deliberate. Theodore had amassed more wealth than many could ever dream of. The inheritance from his father—though substantial—was a mere fraction of what Theodore had built through his own intelligence and relentless work ethic.His office on the top floor of one of New York’s tallest buildings was a testament to his success. Sleek, modern, and designed with purpose, it reflected the man who worked within. Theodore scanned through financial reports with a laser focus. His assistant, Marcus, entered with a stack of files, breaking his concentration.“Mr. Thatcher,” Marcus began, “the board has approved the propo

    It was well past midnight when Nadia stumbled into the hospital, her legs heavy with exhaustion. She had just finished her third job of the day, cleaning offices long after everyone else had gone home. Her hair was a mess, her clothes wrinkled, and her eyes bore dark circles from countless sleepless nights. The clock by the reception desk read 2:03 AM, and the hospital was eerily quiet, save for the hum of fluorescent lights and the occasional murmur from the nurses’ station.She made her way to the accounting office, each step feeling heavier than the last. The envelope in her hand, containing what little money she had managed to scrape together, felt impossibly light compared to the weight of her desperation.When she finally reached the small office, she knocked hesitantly on the glass window. A weary-looking clerk glanced up from her computer and motioned for her to step closer.“Hi,” Nadia began, her voice hoarse from a long day of work. “I—I’m here about my brother’s account. Ch

    Theodore stood outside the house, his hands shoved into his pockets, his jaw locked in frustration. The moment he saw Nadia in the parking lot—barefoot, limping, her eyes filled with unshed tears—he knew something was wrong.And he was going to find out what.Miranda arrived a few minutes later, a tablet in hand. Without wasting time, she pulled up the CCTV footage.“I got access to the security feed from the restroom,” she said, tapping the screen. “You need to see this.”Theodore’s muscles tensed as he focused on the video.The footage showed Nadia walking into the restroom first, looking exhausted but composed. Then, seconds later, his mother entered.Leonora’s expression alone made Theodore’s blood run cold—pure contempt, her posture stiff with disgust.Then, the audio kicked in.“You really think you belong here, don’t you?” Leonora’s voice dripped with venom.Theodore’s hands clenched into fists.

    Inside Theodore’s office, laughter echoed off the sleek, modern walls. Nadia clutched her stomach, her shoulders shaking as she tried—and failed—to contain her amusement.“You—” she gasped between giggles, wiping at the corner of her eye. “You actually called me baby—in front of everyone!”Her laughter only grew louder, filling the space with a warmth that felt almost foreign in Theodore’s cold, meticulously organized world. She leaned against his desk, catching her breath, still grinning. “I mean, Theodore Thatcher—the man who barely smiles, the man who can make grown men tremble in meetings—just said baby like it was the most natural thing in the world.”Theodore, who had been leaning against his desk with his arms crossed, simply watched her. His face remained neutral, but his piercing blue eyes never left her. He wasn’t annoyed. He wasn’t even trying to defend himself. Instead, he was studying her—how her brown eyes sparkled with amusement, how her lip

    Silence hung in the air as Sheena struggled to respond. The confidence she had displayed at the beginning of the meeting had withered under Nadia’s sharp analysis, and everyone in the room could see it. Her fingers tightened around the edges of the document she held, flipping through the pages with increasing urgency. The rustling of paper was the only sound in the otherwise still room, a stark contrast to the eloquence she had shown just moments ago.Her throat bobbed as she swallowed hard. Her eyes darted across the printed text, searching—desperate—for an answer that simply wasn’t there.Leonora, sensing the shift in power, intervened smoothly, her voice cutting through the thick air with practiced ease.“Nadia, while I appreciate your scrutiny, I believe you may be overlooking the broader vision here.” She leaned back, exuding an aura of calm authority. “The Valerio Group has years of experience in large-scale developments.
