Chapter 1

The alarm's jarring shriek shattered my tranquil slumber, leaving me disoriented and yearning for a few more moments of reprieve. I groggily silenced the persistent beep, only to be met with my mother's gentle but firm encouragement. "Time to rise, Emily! You can't be late for work, sweetie," she said, sweeping into my room with a warm smile. As she flung open the curtains, a cascade of golden sunlight poured in, bathing my cozy sanctuary in a warm glow. I winced, shielding my sleep-heavy eyes from the vibrant light. "Just a few more minutes, Mom, please?" I pleaded, my voice laced with desperation, as I snuggled deeper into the comforting blankets. My mother's soft chuckle filled the room, accompanied by the gentle rustle of her clothes as she approached my bed. "No, darling, you've slept enough. Today awaits!" She gently pulled back the covers, inviting me to start the day. "Come on, Emily! Stop being lazy and get up!" my mother exclaimed, her words infused with a mix of amuseme...

Chapter 2
Gracie's soft voice dispelled the silence, drawing me into Mr. Callaghan's captivating gaze. His warm, enigmatic smile unfolded, illuminating his chiseled features. Time seemed to pause. As our hands touched, a jolt of electricity ran through me. His firm handshake yielded to a gentle, lingering kiss on my skin. Shivers danced down my spine. His eyes, bright with genuine interest, held mine, sparking an undeniable connection. "Delighted, Emily," he whispered, his low, velvety voice weaving a spell. Our smiles intertwined, and conversation flowed effortlessly, like a tranquil summer evening, filling the air with promise. His words dripped with sincerity, and I found myself entranced. As I extended my hand, Mr. Callaghan's gaze locked onto mine. I attempted to withdraw, but he held firm, his lips grazing my skin in a gentle, lingering kiss.

Chapter 3
I stood by the window, gazing out at the bustling streets of London, awaiting Emily's arrival at my office. Her unexpected visit had piqued my curiosity. What brought her here? Was it to persuade me to partner with her advertising agency? Their presentation had been impressive, but I'd rejected it, citing reasons that weren't entirely genuine. My mind lingered on Emily's involvement. Her actions had influenced my decision, and I couldn't shake the feeling that the presentation lacked a crucial element – the spark that only Emily's touch could bring. A knock on the door broke the silence. "Enter," I commanded. Emily walked in, her understated elegance captivating me. Her simple shirt and trousers accentuated her natural beauty. "I wouldn't deny it - she's stunning," I thought, my gaze lingering. "Have a seat, Miss Wilburn," I said softly, rising from my chair. Emily sat, her determination palpable. I remained standing, my eyes locked on hers. "You must have followed me immediate

Chapter 4
EMILY’S POV "I should have known there'd be a catch," I thought, wary of Cade’s sudden change of heart. He didn't do favors without expecting something in return. His reputation preceded him – ruthless and cunning. "What do you want in exchange for giving us another chance?" I asked, my tone cautious. "You heard my conversation with my mom, right?" Cade asked, his eyes narrowing. "Not all of it," I replied, choosing my words carefully. Cade's expression turned skeptical. "Really?" he drawled, his voice dripping with disbelief. "How convenient." He took a step closer, his gaze piercing. "Don't play games with me, Emily. I know you heard more than you're letting on." "Fine, I overheard some of it," I admitted. "You have someone you love and want to marry, right?" Cade's smile broadened, clearly amused. "Just as I fooled my mom, I fooled you too?" His eyes sparkled with mischief. "You don't truly love anyone, then?" I asked. Cade's expression turned serious. "I don't believe i

Chapter 5
EMILY’S POV I woke up feeling drained, the weight of my worries still lingering from the previous night's restless thoughts. Sleep had eluded me as I agonized over my predicament. Memories of my mother's hospitalization flooded back. The desperation, the fear, the uncertainty. The hefty surgery bill had loomed over me like an insurmountable mountain. That's when Rose had stepped in, offering a lifeline. "She'll get her money," I recalled Rose's words, etched in my mind like a promise. "When you can pay in full." But life had other plans. The house bills, the daily expenses, they all added up. Now, I was trapped in a cycle of debt, struggling to make ends meet. The burden felt suffocating. How would I pay Rose back? Would I ever break free from this financial quagmire? I shuddered at the thought of owing Rose money. She was notorious for her ruthless tactics when dealing with debtors. I'd witnessed her wrath firsthand, and the memory sent shivers down my spine. "I won't be an exc

Chapter 6
"I'm sorry, Mr. Callaghan," I said, turning to face him. "I just can't pretend to be your wife. I'm someone who values honesty, and I doubt I could keep up the charade." Mr. Callaghan's eyes narrowed, his voice low and urgent. "Just give me an answer already," he whispered, his words dripping with desperation. I hesitated, feeling a pang of sympathy for the man. But I stood firm, knowing I couldn't compromise my values. "I'm sorry, Mr. Callaghan. I really am." His face fell, and he slumped back in his chair. "What will you do about the eviction of your house?" he asked, his voice laced with resignation. "Where will you get the money?" "I'll find a way, an honest way at that," I replied firmly. Just then, Sally, our neighbor, called out my name, her voice laced with urgency. "It's a good thing you're here, Emily... your mom... your mom..." She trailed off, her eyes wide with concern. My heart skipped a beat as I felt a surge of worry. "What happened to my mom?" I asked, my voice

Chapter 7
EMILY’S POV I couldn't believe what was happening. I was being kissed by a total stranger, and my mind was reeling in shock. I tried to pull away from him, but Cade's arms held me firm. His lips moved against mine, and I could taste the warmth of our shared breath. I struggled to think of something, anything, that would distract me from the sensation of his kiss. But my mind was a blank, and my body seemed to be responding to his touch despite my best efforts to resist. Just as I was about to give in to the kiss, Cade pulled away from me, leaving me breathless and disoriented. I tried to step out of his arms, but he held me back, his eyes gleaming with a knowing light. "Don't move! Not yet, the reporter is taking pictures of us," Cade whispered, his eyes scanning the surroundings. It wasn't until he mentioned the reporters that I realized his kiss was all for show. A wave of indignation washed over me as I felt like a pawn in his game. "He's gone now," Cade said, releasing me fr

Chapter 8
I stood frozen, my eyes locked on Brad's face, as if I was staring at a ghost. It had been a year since he walked out of my life, leaving me shattered and heartbroken. He had chosen wealth and status over our love, opting to marry his rich boss's daughter instead. Why was he here now? What did he expect to achieve by coming back into my life? I couldn't help but wonder as I stood there, my mind reeling with questions. Brad's words cut through my thoughts, his voice low and husky as he whispered, "My love." Before I could react, he pulled me into a kiss, his lips crashing down on mine with a fierce intensity. I tried to pull away, but Brad's hold on me was too strong. He deepened the kiss, his tongue probing my lips, sending shivers down my spine. I felt a spark of emotion ignite within me, but I quickly extinguished it, reminding myself of the pain he had caused me. Brad's grip on my hands was warm and familiar, but I couldn't shake off the feeling of betrayal. "I have missed you,

Chapter 9
"Legalize those documents," Cade instructed, his eyes gleaming with triumph. "I want to have them with me, so that I can remind Emily here that she is now in this with me." Mr. James nodded and scurried out of the room, leaving me alone with Cade. The silence between us was oppressive, weighing heavily on my shoulders. I was quiet for a while, my mind racing with thoughts of the impending deal and its potential consequences. What would happen during the deal, and after it was all over? I wondered. Would I be able to escape Cade's clutches, or would I be trapped in this fake marriage forever? Cade's voice cut into my thoughts, his words sending a shiver down my spine. "Stop thinking about that, Emily. It's for your own good." I spun around, my eyes flashing with anger. "I've told you, I don't have anything going on with Brad!" I exclaimed, my voice rising in indignation. "Why do you keep bringing him up?" Cade's smile was cold and calculating. "Oh, I'm just making sure you understa

Chapter 10
CADE’S POV I sat in silence, collecting my thoughts as I gazed out the plane window. The endless expanse of clouds and sky stretched out before me, a stark contrast to the turmoil brewing inside. I didn't know where to begin explaining the island I grew up on, a place that held so many painful memories. "I hardly ever go back to the island," I said finally, my voice low and introspective. "Mainly because of my mom, who's always pushing me to marry Isabel. She's been obsessed with the idea of our families merging, and she won't take no for an answer." I paused, my eyes clouding over as the memories threatened to surface. "But it's not just that," I continued, my voice barely above a whisper. "There are things I did, and had to go through, on that island. Things that I've tried to keep hidden, even from myself." I felt a shiver run down my spine as the memories began to resurface. "Things that, if they got out, would ruin me for good," I added, my voice laced with a hint of desperat
