CHAPTER TWO- Variety Show??
CHAPTER TWOLEO’S POV“Hello, Mr. Leonardo,” Drew greeted, extending his hand for a shake, but I opted to remain seated, ignoring the gesture.“Wow, I guess the media really did cover your personality accurately,” Drew remarked, a smile stretching across his face as he settled into the seat opposite me.“I’m not sure why you decided to come in before the scheduled time, but it appears to be perfect timing. The offer wasn’t for you alone, actually; it’s for both you and Miss Rachel Snow,” Drew explained, his tone even.Just then, the door swung open, and Rachel entered confidently, her heels clicking against the polished floor. Her eyes scanned the room before landing on us, and she wasted no time in addressing me with a “really” look.“Perfect timing, Miss Rachel. Please have a seat,” Drew interjected smoothly, attempting to diffuse the tension.“Oh, this day can’t get any worse. I can’t believe I am bumping into you for the second time in just a day. Are you stalking me?” Rachel reto

CHAPTER THREE- She insist
CHAPTER THREERACHEL’S POV“What, Rachel? Are you serious?” Cecilia asked for the 100th time. Cecilia, my best friend, had grown up with me. A striking model and influential social media figure, She was also the ambassador for my jewelry line. With her long, flowing ebony hair, piercing blue eyes, and model-like figure, she had seen the news and rushed over to my house to confirm if it was just a rumor or fake. I assured her I was aware and fully supportive of it.“Are you sure you are okay?” she asked again, concern evident in her voice.“Yes, Cecile, I accept this challenge. I’ve got various plans in my head right now. One is to make him accept the challenge. Two is to get to know more about him—specifically his weaknesses and flaws—and use them to my advantage. Lastly, I will get rid of the other couples in the show, and then I will get rid of him too, making me the only person standing. Max Zenin would have no choice but to invest in my company. And that’s it. I’m going to secure

CHAPTER FOUR- Finalised
RACHEL’S POV“What did you do?” Leo asked, his tone platonic but I could sense the underlying annoyance in his voice.“I did what I could. If we both act as a married couple for just 100 days, then Max Zenin will either invest in my company or yours at the end of it,” I said, folding my arms defensively. I had hoped he would understand, but his expression told me otherwise.He came outside to meet me where I stood beside my car, the morning light casting a shadow over his furrowed brow. I could see the frustration in his eyes as he approached. Yesterday, I received a message from Drew, where he told me Leo was warning him that the article should be taken down before 8 am, or he would sue. I had no choice but to step in.His jaw clenched, and I could see the tension in his shoulders. He ran a hand through his hair, exhaling sharply.“I will make sure he enters the show at whatever cost, and I will put my plans in motion,” I thought, steeling myself for the confrontation.“I am not

CHAPTER FIVE-who is she?
RACHEL’S POVBelieve it or not, anxiety is coursing through me as I think about appearing on that variety show with Leo. Yet, despite the nerves, I can't help but feel an undercurrent of excitement. This is my chance to manipulate him, to finally gain the upper hand. “Keep your friends close but your enemies closer” – that will be my mantra. I won’t let him reign at the top forever. He needs to know what it's like to be in second place, to feel the sting of being overshadowed. And I, in turn, will relish what it means to stand on the top rung.As the driver sped through the highway, my mind raced even faster. Numerous thoughts swirled within me, a chaotic storm of strategy. Today marks our first interview as the cast of the variety show, and we’re expected to arrive by 9:00 AM. I’ve always prided myself on punctuality, always being the first to arrive. But this time, I silently prayed that Leo wouldn’t beat me there. Being second to him, even in arrival time, would be a small but bit

CHAPTER SIX- SHE IS…
LEO’S POVI was not expecting to see Helen here, in a variety show, to sign a contract marriage after disappearing for eight years. Coincidence or not, I don’t know what to call it. My phone rang in my pocket, and I declined the call without bothering to check the caller ID. My father had been furious after realizing I had ignored his advice, and I knew he was already planning his next move.So many thoughts raced through my mind as I saw Helen seated right across from me in an emerald dress. I could sense Rachel’s piercing gaze on both of us, and I quickly snapped out of it to introduce myself. If anyone noticed the tension, it would be just me, Helen, and Rachel.After the interview for the variety show, I went to make a call and heard someone approaching me from behind. I already knew who it was.“Leo, I feel so happy to see you, although I did not expect that we would meet here,” Helen said, plastering a fake smile on her face, the same one Rachel always used while talking to me.

CHAPTER SEVEN- REALITY STRUCK
CHAPTER SEVENRachel’s POVMy whole life flashed before my eyes when we were told we were going to stay in the same place together for 100 days."You gotta be kidding me," I said out loud, forgetting the camera was on me."This is all your fault," Leo said, putting his hands in his pockets and turning to face me.Well, can’t he see that I am already regretting this?"Is it too late to get out of the show?" I turned to ask one of the crew members with the camera, and he shook his head, much to my disappointment."Damn," Leo cussed. We are going to be in deep trouble. While we lamented over the fact that we would be sharing the same room, it was ironic compared to the other couples who were jumping and hugging each other happily as though they had won the lottery. Well, except for one person—the girl in the emerald dress whom I saw earlier with Leo. She was staring in our direction. Her eyes seemed to be focused not on Leo this time around, but on me. Why? I couldn’t pinpoint it, but t

CHAPTER EIGHT: MURDER?!
LEO’S POV“You dare to go against my orders?” Father bellowed, his voice vibrating in my ear. I stood there, my gaze fixed forward, my palms folded together, my face utterly expressionless. Heaven knows how much longer I’ll have to endure his outbursts, but it won't be much longer.“Nice. That’s the attitude you’re going to display, huh? Well then, I have no choice. Get ready to step down from that company. And one more thing.” He stormed closer until our faces were just inches apart, the cold fury in his eyes sending a shiver down my spine.“After that company is no longer in your possession, I will make your life so miserable that you’ll prefer death, Mr. Leonardo Lugard. Mark my words,” he hissed, his voice dripping with venom. With that, he pushed past me, his shoulder brushing mine with deliberate force as he walked out. His footsteps were heavy and deliberate, each one echoing through the corridor like a countdown to the inevitable. His back was rigid, his fists clenched at hi

CHAPTER NINE: NEW PLAN
RACHEL’S POV"Ahhhhhhh!!" I screamed, throwing everything within reach across the room. The sound of shattering glass and the crash of objects hitting the floor echoed off the walls. My meticulously arranged room descended into chaos. Picture frames toppled, books flew off the shelves, and the vase on the nightstand shattered into a thousand pieces..I didn’t even realize the door had opened until I heard Cecilia’s voice.“Rachel!” she called, rushing over to me. “Oh no! Rachel, you’re going to hurt yourself,” she said, pulling me into a tight hug as I burst into tears.“I’m done for, Cecilia. Everything,” I stuttered through my sobs.“No, Rachel. Everything will be fine. Do not give up, okay?” she said, her voice firm but kind. I continued to sob quietly for a few minutes, the weight of everything bearing down on me.“Excuse me,” I whispered, pulling away from her as I headed toward the bathroom. I caught a glimpse of her worried eyes as I shut the door behind me.Inside the bathroom

CHAPTER TEN- FIRST CHALLENGE
LEO’S POVI was already dressed in my sportswear when I received a call from John, who informed me that Father is making arrangements for my so-called brother to come back. No matter what game they try to play, I’ll always be one step ahead. Finally, it’s time for me to show Father what I’m made of.My jaw clenched in annoyance as my attention returned to my sportswear—a sleek, blue athletic outfit, perfectly matching hers, as each couple was assigned a matching color. I don’t know what she’s thinking, accepting to have her murder case aired on the variety show. One mistake, and she’s done for. But why do I even bother?Suddenly, I sensed someone behind me and turned to see who it was. Of course, it was Rachel Snow. Only God knows how long she’d been standing there.“Hey, it’s time, or do you want us to lose today’s competition before we even start? Five minutes late, and we’re done,” she said, clearly irritated, her hands on her hips, but there was something missing in her eyes.Agai
