CHRISTIAN

I 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

    OLIVIA
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

Each kiss was hotter than the last.
His touch was hungrier, more demanding, more intoxicating. More everything.
And I couldn’t get enough.
I grabbed his shirt, clinging to him as his arm tightened around my waist, pressing me against his hardness. But even that wasn’t enough. Our tongues tangled and I reached up, wrapping my arms around his neck. 
A moan slipped past my lips as I felt heat pool between my legs, the usual response Christian always drew from me, even with the lightest touch.
He pulled me closer, taking off my blouse and his eyes roamed my chest. It felt hard to breathe under his gaze and he pushed my hair back, his fingers undoing my bra in one movement. I leaned in closer to kiss him, his hand sliding up to cup my breast, fumbling gently, while his thumb grazed my nipple in a teasing stroke. My body arched into him in response, a moan catching in my throat.
As his fingers traced my thigh, heat pooled low in my belly, and I couldn’t resist any longer. My f

“Oh my God!” Olivia shrieked, clapping her hands excitedly and squirming in her simple jeans and blouse.
I turned to her, rolling my eyes. Again?
This was the tenth thing she’d found cute in the past three minutes. We hadn’t even made it halfway through Pyros Village, and already, she was fawning over everything, her eyes wide with wonder, and her lips curved in a bright, wide smile.
Little things.
It was ridiculous how much they made her happy.
Lydia, one of my ex’s, had never been like this. She was impossible to impress. A tour of Pyros Village wouldn’t have even made her blink. She preferred yachts, exotic islands, diamonds, lots of them.
But Olivia?
She was now crouched in front of a turtle, staring at it like it was the most significant thing she’d ever seen. I watched as she quickly whipped out her small camera, taking pictures with a beaming smile.
“Christian,” she called, beckoning me over with a flick of her fingers, her gaze still fixed on the small scree

    OLIVIAI exhaled shakily, trying to steady my breath. Why the hell was he looking at me like that? Like I was crazy? 
My heart sank. Would he have looked at me this way if I’d been stupid enough to confess my feelings tonight? If I had told him I was jealous of his ex-girlfriend, who he was still hooking up with, by the way?
So, he would have scoffed and told me I was overreacting? That he didn’t understand what I was saying?
I sighed heavily, silently grateful I hadn’t said a word about how I felt.
“Listen,” he began, his voice showing some signs of worry now, “I know you’re still pissed about how I reacted the other day… and like I said, the baby is—”
“I’m not pissed, Christian!” I snapped, my voice rising despite my best efforts to stay calm. “I’m not angry at all.”
“Then what should I call this outburst?” he shot back quietly, and I scoffed.
“You can call it whatever you want, but let me tell you this.” I locked eyes with him, fighting to hold back the tears. “From tonight,

    Olivia’s POV“You need to see my grandfather before you leave.”Nodding, I followed closely behind Christian, completely numb.The nerve he has, putting his hand on my body, after dancing so passionately with that bitch only minutes ago.As we walked over to Mr. Blackwood, his eyes fell on me, and they sparkled.“Olivia,” he called, his tone affectionate, “I hope you enjoyed the ball.”“It was very remarkable, Mr. Blackwood,” I replied, forcing a smile on my face, “and I was glad to be a part of such a phenomenal event.”He nodded, his lips stretching further in a proud smile. “I’m very happy you honored the invitation,” he replied, then slid his gaze to Christian who stood quietly behind me, and back to me. “Are you leaving already?”I nodded, pressing my lips together. “Yes sir. I have a slight tummy ache, so I can’t stay any longer.”“Okay, alright,” he nodded, his brows furrowing in concern. “You have to rest, anyway. Take care of yourself, and if you need anything, let me know.”

    Olivia’s POVI yawned as my eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the light, taking in my surroundings.This room looked unfamiliar…I sat up in a flash, really scanning the room now, my fists clutching the sheets as it dawned on me.Yes… Last night. Christian’s room…The fragments of my memory pieced together, and it all came back to me. My steamy first time.I had eagerly given up my virginity to Christian Blackwood, joining the long list of women who had been intoxicated and enraptured by his looks, and had toppled into his bed.I closed my eyes, a flush creeping up my cheeks as I remembered how I had begged him to take me, groping and yearning for him.“Ugh!” I groaned, hitting my arms and legs against the sheets, kicking them away.What had come over me? How could I have been so easy? Giving myself to him so eagerly? Begging to be devoured like my life depended on it?This was next-level embarrassment.I sighed, my mind drifting back to the previous night. My first time had been bett

The night carried on, and I watched as people waltzed across the dance floor, moving to the music with bright smiles and laughter.
To my surprise, even Mr. Blackwood was dancing, with a woman around his age, no less. A small smile rested on his face as he led her across the floor. So he did things like this? I assumed the Blackwoods were all too serious for fun.
I glanced away and spotted Michael dancing with his wife a little farther away. They didn’t look happy together, moving stiffly to the soft music. 
Meanwhile, Christian and Ophelia were deep in conversation with a group of guests at a table far from ours, caught up in whatever they were discussing. That left just me and Lydia at this table.
She kept staring at me, not even bothering to hide it. I ignored her, but the longer it went on, the more annoyed I felt.
What gave her this sort of confidence to harass me constantly? Was it the fact that she once dated Christian? If you asked me, she was clinging to the past

As the car pulled into the parking lot of Blackwood Hotel, I took in the sight before me, excitement bubbling lightly inside. The building stood tall, decorated beautifully, its windows glowing warmly. 
The engine quieted, and before I could move, Christian stepped out and opened my door. He held out his hand, his expression calm. “Here,” he said softly.
Even though I had promised myself not to let my guard down, I found myself smiling. He had made an effort tonight—the dress, the sweet note. And while my heart still twisted at the thought of his so-called favorite ex, I had agreed to come with him. If not for Christian, then at least for Ophelia. She’d worked too hard on this event, and she would have been disappointed if I hadn’t shown up.
Placing my hand in his, I lifted my dress slightly and stepped out. We walked toward the entrance, my gaze drifting over the decorations. If the exterior looked this enchanting, the interior had to be even more spectacular.
At the doo

I lay on my back in my room, twirling my phone between my fingers, debating whether or not to follow through with the thought that was stuck in my head.
Ever since the car ride with Christian, my mind hadn’t settled. His vague answer about Lydia only made things worse instead of calming me. Who was she to him really? And why wouldn’t he just tell me the truth?
He clearly had no problem sharing my secrets with her—about me, about my brother, while lying in bed with her, no less. So why did he suddenly go vague when the topic was about her?
I tapped my screen, then let it go dark again. I couldn’t decide. My fingers itched to act, while my brain warned me to stop. I even considered throwing the phone across the room and going to sleep.
But curiosity is a dangerous thing, and today, it won.
I pulled up my browser and typed in the name I swore I’d never search: Christian Blackwood and Lydia.
The moment the results loaded, my heart dropped and I forgot all about self-control.

I sighed for what felt like the thousandth time, sitting in the lecture hall. Voices buzzed around me—conversations, laughter, whispers but none of it mattered. I couldn’t bring myself to care about anything they were saying.
The truth was, I didn’t care about much these days. I felt like everything was spiraling beyond my control, like my life had suddenly changed completely. Even the smallest things felt exhausting now, like tasks I’d normally handle without a second thought.
Maybe that’s why I hadn’t gone to see Mr. Sylas yet about the 30% he gave me on my project. He claimed it looked like I used AI, but I just didn’t have the strength to defend myself, not when everything else felt so tiring.
I’d spent all of yesterday in bed, replaying Lydia’s words over and over in my head.
“Is your brother okay?”
“Christian had to shove me out of his bed…”
I scoffed under my breath, biting down on my lower lip. What had I been thinking? That Christian Blackwood, the same man wh

I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection, searching for any signs that my body had changed since I found out I was pregnant.I still looked the same. Deep down, I knew this restlessness was just paranoia. It had only been a few days since I found out. What difference could several hours really make?
Still, the weight in my chest had only grown heavier. The thoughts in my mind, the nervousness, it all seemed to get worse with every passing hour.
A beep from my phone pulled me out of my thoughts. I glanced down at it on the dresser and saw a new email notification. It was an invitation to the Blackwood Annual Event, scheduled for three days from now.
I sighed and picked up the phone, opening the email. The theme caught my eye right away:
“A Night of Masks and Mystery – Gatsby Masquerade Ball.”
A small smile tugged at my lips. I remembered talking to Ophelia about it, wondering how she planned to turn such a big, flashy idea into reality and now, I could see
