All Chapters of Fake Vow, True Luna: Chapter 411 - Chapter 420

OliviaDespite my sadness over the cancellation of our highly-anticipated wedding, I awoke the next morning with a new sense of excitement in my chest.Today was my first day apprenticing at the bakery, and I couldn’t be more ecstatic.I popped up out of bed the moment my alarm went off and made my way to the bathroom, where I took a shower and began going over my schedule in my head. I was supposed to be at the bakery in an hour, which meant that I needed to get dressed and get the twins changed and fed before I left.Thankfully, it was a short walk to the bakery in our small town, but I still had a lot to think about. But this was what I signed up for—this was what I had wanted, and I was prepared to be a worker and a mother all at once.And so, as soon as I hopped out of the shower and put my robe on, I made my way to the nursery to see the twins already awake in their cribs and looking at me with their big blue eyes.I gently picked up Elliot, who had been babbling softly in his c

OliviaAfter leaving the bakery, I made my way back home, my heart still heavy with the unpleasant encounter with the reporters. I couldn’t seem to stop myself from replaying their intrusive questions over and over again in my mind, and the unfairness of it all gnawed at me.As I entered our villa, I decided to send a text to Nathan to let him know what had happened. I figured that the pictures of me and some skewed story would wind up in the local tabloids sooner or later, and I preferred that he hear it from me rather than seeing it sitting on a convenience store rack.With a sigh, I made my way inside and kicked off my shoes, then made my way over to the couch and flopped down. It was a bit strange not needing to immediately rush into ‘mom’ mode the second I walked in the door.“Got ambushed by reporters today at the bakery,” I typed out as I leaned my head back on a pillow. “I had to leave early. If you see pictures of me online, that’s why…”I hit send on the text and shut my eye

OliviaAfter finishing up the photoshoot, Nathan and I walked away from James and Petunia’s booth to rejoin the group. Elliot and Aurora, thoroughly exhausted from their day of hard work, were already dozing off in their stroller.As we walked, Nathan leaned closer to me and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. He pressed a warm kiss against my temple, sending a shiver down my spine.“Thanks for doing that with me,” I said. “It felt a little silly at first, but I really do feel like it’s beneficial to use my status for good. The press is gonna follow us anyway, you know?”Nathan nodded. “Might as well make it work in everyone’s favor,” he said. “And by the way, Liv, you were glowing back there.”I blushed at his compliment. “Thank you,” I murmured softly, not expecting such a sweet and heartfelt compliment over something as simple as a quick photo opportunity.But then Nathan’s expression turned serious, and he stopped, looking straight into my eyes. “Liv,” he began, “I mean it. You’ve

OliviaI stood there in the middle of the lively festival, the weight of Angela’s suggestion still floating through the air like a tantalizing dream. The idea of getting married tonight, right here at the festival, seemed both thrilling and impossible.My heart raced with the thought, but practicality held me back.Admittedly, it had crossed my mind earlier when we were sitting in the cafe. But it had only been on my mind for a moment, and I had quickly chalked it up to the pregnancy hormones or the festive atmosphere or my broken heart.I had instantly told myself that it was silly and not a good idea, and yet now here I was, listening to my best friend come up with the exact same idea as though she had read my mind.Before I could respond to Angela’s proposal, the bustling sounds of the festival were interrupted by Layla and Cade’s return. They were practically bursting with excitement, their hands laden with shopping bags filled with trinkets and souvenirs from the festival stalls.

OliviaAs we watched our friends hug tightly in front of the Christmas tree, I couldn’t resist snapping a few pictures.“They can thank me later,” I teased, taking several photos and slipping my phone back into my pocket. “But I still can’t believe you didn’t tell me.”“Olivia, name one time you didn’t tell Angela literally everything that’s on your mind,” Nathan chided.I blushed. “Okay. You’re right.”Either way, I couldn’t have been happier for my friends. As they pulled apart, Angela couldn’t seem to contain her excitement. She grabbed Levi’s hand and dragged him over to us, holding her hand out to show off her new ring.Layla and I couldn’t help but ogle at the beautiful ring, admiring its intricate design and delicate stone. “It’s gorgeous, Angela,” I said, leaning in. “He’s got good taste.”Cade and Nathan, on the other hand, couldn’t seem to resist teasing Levi as they clapped him on the back in congratulations. Nathan chuckled, shaking his head at Levi’s slightly bewildered e
