CHRISTIAN


I sat in the backseat of the car, staring out the window, my mind racing. Grandfather had summoned me for dinner again, out of nowhere.


These dinners were becoming more frequent than usual and they were always exhausting.


‘Meet me for dinner tonight.’


That was all the text had said. No explanation. No hint. Nothing.


It felt like I was walking into a blind date except, in this case, it wasn’t the person that was unknown. It was the purpose.


And I didn’t like it one bit. I preferred knowing exactly what I was walking into, preparing myself for whatever lay ahead.


Still lost in thoughts, we pulled into the estate, smoothly gliding into an empty parking spot in the garage. The moment the door opened, I stepped out, adjusting my jacket.


With careful strides, I crossed the forecourt and entered through the main entrance. As I stepped into the grand lobby, I slowed down, catching the faint murmur of voices drifting from the dining room.


Michael was here too?

    CHRISTIAN“May I speak now, Grandfather?” Michael asked, leaning forward in his seat, barely containing his anger.I was certain he couldn’t. He was about to explode if he kept it in. “Go on,” Grandfather urged, nodding.Michael pushed himself to the edge of his seat, linking his hands tightly. “Didn’t you even look at the report I sent?” he asked, his face contorted with agitation. “Christian lied about Olivia Carter!”“Did he?” Grandfather arched his brow. “Christian never claimed anything about her background. We all made our own assumptions—assumptions born from a narrow, misguided mindset.” His gaze shifted between Michael and me. “A mindset that changes today. We have already lost so much in this family because of it. I want it to end now.”Michael scoffed, his eyes darkening with rage. He looked ready to burst but also shocked at the same time, like grandfather was speaking a new language. Watching him, I felt an irresistible urge to smirk and I did, making sure he felt every

    CHRISTIANI said nothing, and he pressed on.
“I know I made life unbearable for your mother, Christian. But I was just following orders—my parents’ orders. Back then, there was a strict rule in the family, one made from sheer pride and ignorance.” He exhaled sharply. “I see now that I should have stood up to them. I should have protected my son and his wife. I failed them, and I’ve failed you.”
He placed a firm, reassuring hand on my shoulder.
“I won’t fail you again. That’s a promise.”
I sighed, nodding despite the weight still pressing against my chest. “Thank you, Grandfather.”
He patted my back before turning and limping away.
As I watched him go, I exhaled in relief, finally piecing together what had happened with Olivia.
He had confronted her. But instead of blurting out the truth, as I’d expected, she had taken a different approach.
She had used my past, the one I’d indirectly mentioned to her at the desert, against the very man responsible for it.
I scoffed, shaking my

I walked down the hallways in one of the fancy dresses Christian bought me, humming along to the familiar tune blasting from a phone somewhere nearby.
Ever since I won Mr. Blackwood over in our last impromptu meeting, I had been in an impossibly good mood. Even though I hadn’t told Christian yet, I couldn’t wait to tell him all about it, to see his reaction, to revel in the moment.
“Is that her?”
The words drifted to me as I passed a group of girls lingering in the hallway, snapping me back from my thoughts. Just as I turned around, I caught one of them pointing directly at me.
What did I do this time?
It was always something, always some reason for them to whisper, to judge me. 
“Yes,” another girl confirmed, her voice carrying that cruel tone I had come to recognize too well. “She’s the slut.”
The word slammed into me, knocking the breath from my lungs. My heart dropped, the happy mood evaporating in an instant.
Slut? Me?
“I heard that’s how she affords tuition at o

I glanced down at the extravagant gifts piled beside me in the backseat.
Flowers. Novels. Perfumes. A whole assortment.
Was it too much?
A nagging doubt crept in, making me second-guess myself. Maybe I was overdoing it. My gaze lingered on the bouquet, and I suddenly felt hesitant about everything. Were they even necessary? Was it too fucking much?
I reached for them, ready to toss them aside, but then I hesitated again. Would she even read into all this? Overthink the gesture?
If she did, then maybe she was just naive or narrow-minded, even. Because why would anyone assign deeper meaning to something so trivial? Gifts like these were common. Business associates exchanged them. Friends. Even surrogates… Just like her.
So I hoped she wouldn’t misunderstand.
I tapped the screen of my phone, expecting to see a reply. But nothing. 
She still hadn’t responded to my text I sent minutes ago. 
That was odd. By now, she should’ve been back from her lectures since it was alre

I groaned, rubbing my forehead as I slumped onto the desk in the lecture hall.
Of all the days to schedule extra lectures, it had to be today, the day after I drank myself into oblivion. Just my luck.
What part of once-a-week lectures did they not understand? Whoever planned this deserved a special place in hell.
With a sigh, I kept my head down, hoping to ease the pounding in my skull while still keeping an eye out for a few angry birds.
Ivy and her minions.
They’d do anything to get their revenge on me after slapping Ivy with my purse.
I forced myself to focus on Miss Elowen’s words, but before I could make sense of them, the public address system crackled to life, interrupting her mid-sentence.
“Attention, students and faculty,” A bold voice announced, “We are honored to welcome a very important figure to our campus today. In recognition of his esteemed visit, all lectures and academic activities will be temporarily paused.”
A brief silence, then the voice continued

My pupils dilated in shock as I stared at Christian on the podium.
Was I dreaming? Had I really won? My sample had surpassed Ivy’s and everyone else’s?
“What? She won?” Ivy’s voice rang out behind me, laced with disbelief. I didn’t need to look back to know she was fuming. 
Still staring ahead, I was stunned by the results, but a more pressing thought gnawed at me. Had Christian planned this? The idea had flickered in my mind earlier, but now, with the way everything played out, it weighed heavily on me.
I couldn’t help but wonder if it was truly a coincidence that he’d picked my sample over every other person’s?
And if it wasn’t, why would he do that? 
“I can’t believe she won,” Someone muttered behind me, his tone dripping with disdain.
“What’s so special about her sample?” 
As I listened to them, I nearly smirked but held my head high instead, giving them more to look at. For the first time in a long while, I was in the spotlight for something good, not scandalous o

The car sped down the highway toward the hotel, and I leaned my head against the headrest, hiding a smirk as I replayed Olivia’s expression from earlier.
Shock, disbelief and a flicker of something she probably didn’t even realize—pride.
She hadn’t expected to win. Not over the so-called best students.
What a shame no one had ever acknowledged her talent before. Her writing was unlike anything I was used to. It was raw, original, untainted by the usual clichés that flooded books these days. I wasn’t much of a reader, for good reason. Most stories lacked creativity, recycled the same tiring tropes. But hers? It had depth, thought and a kind of brilliance that made you stop and actually think.
So why had no one ever recognized it? Was it because of her financial status? Was that why they looked down on her, why they bullied her? Her school catered to the rich, after all.
Or maybe, just maybe, they simply couldn’t handle her. She was leagues ahead of them, while they stil

“You do know you have terrible taste in wine, right?”
I turned slightly to find Christian staring at me, his expression a mix of distaste and disapproval. Seriously? All because I didn’t like the wine he claimed was his favorite?
Talk about dramatic.
“Well, still better than my taste in men,” I retorted, shifting comfortably on the divan we both lay on.
Somehow, I’d managed to convince him to lie here with me, outlining quite convincingly, if I may say so, ten benefits of lying down while flying. Normally, he would be sitting, legs crossed and eyes fixed on his phone. But I had won this vacation fair and square so I would run it the way I wanted.
If I could though. 
His brows furrowed slightly as he placed his arms behind his head. “What do you mean?”
I shrugged. “I mean, I clearly have terrible judgment, considering I willingly signed a contract with you. Doesn’t that say enough about my poor taste in your gender?”
For a second, his expression showed something betwee

    Olivia’s POVWiping her nose with the handkerchief I offered her, she sniffled, then zeroed her gaze into space.“When I was twelve,” she started after a few moments, her tone laced with a deep emotion I couldn’t put a finger on, “my mom would always tell me to make friends with girls that are in the same bracket with me.” She scoffed, lifting her arms. “You know, status-wise,” she added, bracketing the last two words with her fingers.I stared at her as she spoke, my attention rapt and silent.“Guess what?” She continued. “She even forbade me from being friends with a girl whose mother was a hair stylist. Can you imagine that?”“And at 17,” she continued without missing a beat, not giving me a chance to respond to her possibly rhetorical question, “she started taking me to parties filled to the brim with old men. Passing me around and asking me to climb my way to the top on their backs.”She tilted a corner of her lips in a small smirk then, her eyes darkening in pain, “I mean, what

    Olivia’s POVI felt Liam’s presence behind me as I kept watching Ivy, curiosity coursing through me, instead of the anger I was supposed to be feeling at being humiliated by her, when I was simply trying to be nice.“So,” he started, nudging me gently, “how’s the party going? Enjoying it? Having fun?”I scoffed, still keeping my eyes on Ivy. “You left me here by myself, Liam. What do you think?”He was silent for a moment, as if analyzing what I’d just said. “Well I—““I’m bored as hell, Liam,” I interrupted, whipping my gaze to his face. “I’ll spare you the bullshit.”He chuckled, shaking his head as he studied me.“I mean, it’s okay,” I continued, spreading my palms, “but quite boring.”“I see,” he replied, nodding. “And that’s another reason I like you, Olivia Carter. You always speak your mind as it is, without mincing or sugar-coating them.”I tilted my head to the side, watching him with my tongue in my cheek. “Well, what’s the first?”He seemed confused at first, raising a brow

I stepped onto the terrace, my heels clicking softly against the stone floor as I glanced around at the guests streaming toward the entrance.
This was clearly another high-society event—elegant, extravagant, and carefully planned.
“Olivia!”
I turned at the sound of Liam’s voice and saw him standing by the doorway, a bright smile lighting up his face.
Smiling back, I lifted the hem of my dress slightly and quickened my pace. He met me halfway, his grin widening as he took my hand.
“I’m glad you made it,” he said, his gaze sweeping across my face. 
“Thank you for inviting me,” I replied, smiling. 
“So, shall we?”
I nodded, my eyes drifting over his casual outfit. He looked effortlessly handsome, wearing a fitted blazer over a plain white shirt. His dark jeans added a laid-back touch, and the slicked-back hair gave him a sharper look I hadn’t noticed before.
“You look so beautiful, Olivia,” he whispered as we stepped into the softly lit lobby.
A faint blush touched my c

Nicholas led me down the hallway, and I couldn’t help but look around, taking in the calm, elegant atmosphere. Everything about this place felt peaceful. Working here would be both easy and healing.
“We’re here,” he said, stopping in front of a clear glass door. A small smile played on his lips. “Your soon-to-be office.”
He pushed the door open and stepped aside. “This is what it looks like.”
My eyes widened as I stepped inside. I took in the space, stunned by how beautiful it was. Every detail, from the soft white walls to the stylish furniture, was perfect. It felt like walking into a dream.
“Wow,” I whispered, moving toward the sleek desk near the floor-to-ceiling window. “This is… beautiful.”
Behind me, Nicholas gave a polite scoff. “Right? And it only gets better from here.”
Maybe it would. But honestly, this already felt like more than enough. I was beyond impressed.
“So,” he said, clearing his throat, “do you like it?”
Was he serious? I loved it. But the way he l

“How do these damn binoculars work?” I muttered under my breath, frustration creeping in.
Cursing again, I smacked it, trying to make sense of the device. Sighing deeply, I focused intently, eventually figuring out how to work the damn thing.
What was I even doing here? Sitting in this car, staked out opposite this restaurant. What was I expecting to find?
Lifting the binoculars to my eyes, I positioned them toward the glass fronts of Joe’s Bistro fast food restaurant across the street, leaning slightly back in the seat to avoid being spotted.
And as I adjusted the focus, I froze, a jolt of shock running through me. So, Olivia was seriously here? And who was she with? That hair… Nicholas?
I adjusted the binoculars again, unease spreading through me, which quickly turned into rage when I confirmed it was really Nicholas Sterling sitting there. I glared through the lens, my jaw tightening as I saw Olivia’s smile, my chest burning with jealousy.
I yanked the binoculars aw

I leaned back against the headrest, my eyes drifting past the tall buildings as we sped by. I tried not to think about Christian but the memories kept pushing their way in.
Seeing him again yesterday had almost pulled me under. Those feelings I thought I’d buried came rushing back. For a second, I even questioned my decision about the party, until her name popped up again. 
This morning, I’d woken up with a clear head and a stronger sense of resolve. That part of my life, him, would not affect me anymore. 
Now, I was on my way to Blackwood Fashion with Greg and Grace to pick out a dress for the dinner party tonight.
I sighed, letting my thoughts drift to what I might wear. It wasn’t like I didn’t already have options—I just needed an excuse to get out of my room because I was extremely bored.
The car came to a stop in front of Blackwood Fashion. I stepped out, adjusting the flannel shirt I’d thrown on without thinking.
As I walked toward the glass doors, I noticed a fain

The door to my office swung open. I looked up to see Lydia walk in like she owned the place, shoulders high and head held even higher.
Slowly, I stood, my eyes locked on her as she crossed the room and sank into the couch without a word.
“I know what you did,” I said, skipping any kind of greeting. 
She raised one perfectly shaped brow, pretending she had no idea what I was talking about. “What are you going on about?”
“You went to my grandfather,” I said, my voice tight. “You asked him to bring you into Blackwood Hotel by promising an investment from your family, didn’t you?”
She held my gaze in silence, like she was waiting for something. For a second, I wondered if I had it wrong. Then she let out a quiet breath, the corner of her mouth twitching like she found it all slightly amusing.
“Oh,” she said quietly. “That.”
My anger flared fast and I slammed my hand on the desk.
“Why?” I yelled. “Why would you do that?”
“Why would I do what?” she replied, her tone calm—t

“So,” Liam leaned further into the table, his eyes bright, “I can tell you hate parties, but there’s this…” He paused, twisting his lips, “This dinner.”
I raised a brow in response, curiosity piqued despite myself. He smiled in return, clearly pleased with my reaction.
“My father’s birthday is tomorrow,” he continued, “And he loves to throw these big, elaborate parties. I was wondering if you’d like to attend.”
I chuckled softly, momentarily at a loss for words. This was unexpected, and besides, we’d only just started talking. Showing up at his father’s birthday party felt strange, didn’t it?
“I don’t know,” I muttered, shrugging. “I just don’t think—”
“Before you say no,” he quickly interrupted, leaning in slightly. “I think you should know that a lot of people from our school will be there, so…” He lifted one shoulder casually, his smile a little more hopeful.
Was that supposed to convince me? The idea that people from school would be there didn’t exactly make it more

“But after that, I’ll never speak to you again.”
Those words kept echoing in my head, distracting, unsettling and confusing me. I ran a hand through my hair, sighing. My head throbbed faintly, probably from staying up all night, replaying Olivia’s unexpected outburst, trying to make sense of the mess she’d left behind.
What the hell was that supposed to mean?
I leaned forward at my desk, my fist pressing into my jaw, frustration bubbling inside me. “I’ll live my life?” 
Hasn’t she always lived hers? 
I scoffed, knocking my knuckles against the desk in irritation, still seething.
And what was that crap about never speaking to me again once the contract ended? Did she honestly think it would be that simple to walk away? After everything we’ve been through? What about the baby on the way? Was she implying that one of us wouldn’t have custody?
Where the hell did she think she could go on this earth without me finding her?
The agitation was shooting straight to my head
