Yvonne's POV The cab finally got pulled up in front of a fancy restaurant and I felt a rush of nerves, as I alighted the cab. Dragging in a deep breath, I reached into my bag for my powder mirror and opened it gently to study my reflection, making small adjustments to my makeup with practiced ease. I had dressed to kill for my meeting with Kylian Litt, the man who was going to save my company. His firm reaped struggling businesses like mine, either selling them off or boosting them. Despite his assurance of no ulterior motives, my mind raced, hinting at other possibilities. Why dinner instead of a straightforward office meeting? Desperation clung to my agreement for dinner, clinging to my job. But I had limits; if he crossed them, I vowed to leave. No position justified compromising myself—right? Even if his appeal stirred something undeniable within me. I closed the mirror with a soft click, feeling a renewed sense of confidence as with a deep breath, I strode into the restauran

Yvonne's POVI found myself in an unusual state of mind, not quite fitting into the conventional mold. Kylian's assertive demeanor had stirred something within me, leading to incessant thoughts about him even after leaving the dinner table. Perhaps there had been a vivid fantasy involving him, although I refused to acknowledge it. He had a way of teasing, leaving me both intrigued and frustrated.As if his proposal of a fake marriage wasn't enough, he added the tempting suggestion of experiencing a preview of our arrangement. It was tempting, I couldn't deny that. Yet, I resisted the urge and opted for a cold shower upon returning home. It irked me how easily he could affect me. His lack of a filter, speaking whatever crossed his mind regardless of social norms, was both infuriating and strangely alluring.I had one final chance to break away from Kylian's influence for good. Today's meeting with my investors was crucial, and I preferred begging for their support over dealing with Kyl

Kylian's POVI enjoyed surprising women with my culinary skills, relishing in their unexpected delight at finding out I was more than meets the eye. "The total package," I quipped to myself as I busied myself in the kitchen. For Yvonne, I had prepared a tantalizing meal of linguine with a rich homemade sauce, complemented by perfectly cooked steaks. The wine I selected was a perfect match for the occasion, adding an extra touch of elegance to the evening. Everything had to be flawless; after all, I needed to impress her, even if I had teased otherwise. This dinner was part of my strategy to win her over to my proposal.Setting the candlestick on the table, I carefully placed the tall, white candle in its holder and lit it, casting a warm glow across the room. I knew the allure of a homemade candlelight dinner was hard to resist for any woman. Soft music wafted from the speakers in the ceiling, creating an ambiance of intimacy and romance. The lighting was just enough to create a cozy

Kylian's POV It was Monday, unlike most people, I actually liked Mondays. Mondays were a fresh beginning. It was like New Year’s, fifty-four days of the year. I fired up the laptop and began to scroll through my emails, trying to distract myself from recalling the previous weekend escapades. I couldn't help but bit my lower lip as I recalled how soft Yvonne's lips had been on mine and how she'd given me a taste I'd been craving for so long. “Hey!” Kieran said walking into my office, that Monday without knocking. “What do you want, Kieran?” I grumbled. “You’re grumpy.” “I am not. You barged in without even knocking.” He sat down on my couch, crossed his legs, and stretched his arm over the back of the couch. "Does that even count?" he asked, a grin playing at the corners of his lips. "Yes, it counts. If my door is shut, you knock. Everyone knows that," I retorted sharply. He chuckled softly. "Feels like old times, doesn't it? You scolding me for barging in." "That's becau

Kylian's POV "The conference room is right, this way." One of her workers was telling me as he walked me towards her office. I felt ridiculous to be excited, to finalize the terms that would get me my inheritance, which was supposed to be mine, as the oldest son. I strolled down the hallway to Yvonne's office, looking forward to seeing her. I had her right where I wanted her and knew my presence would make her anxious. “Good morning, Mr. Litt. Everyone’s in the conference room,” the secretary said, pointing across the hall.“Thank you,” I said with my charming smile and headed for the door. When I walked in, although I had already been told everyone waswaiting, I was still a little surprised to see both lawyers and Yvonne already there. She stood to greet me with a friendly smile. I walked to her and gave her a friendly kiss on the cheek. She didn’t flinch at all, which surprised me a little. I noticed the slight blush she was trying to hide. She could pretend all she wanted, but I

Kylian's POVI would hold her feet to the fire. I had given her the job and now she owed me. I hadn’t been able to slip that into the contract, but I was not about to let her back out on her word.“Kylian,” she started.I shook my head. “Don’t even think about it.” She let out a long sigh. “Fine.”I smiled. “Trust me, it’s only for the legality of it all. I need my inheritance. You need your job. You understood the terms of the deal when you went into it. I’m not trying to pull one over on you.”She nodded. “I did. I think it’s ridiculous and completely scandalous, but what can one expect from a man like you.”I smirked, her veiled insult didn’t bother me a bit. “We don’t necessarily need to be together. If it is a hardship for you to be in the same room as I am, we can keep our distance. I only need your name on paper and for an occasional gathering to prove our engagement. And then there is that other thing.”Her jaw clenched, and she glared at me. “We still need to iron out the deta

Yvonne's POV I strolled through the corridors of my corporate offices, knowing that this was my final week in charge. Soon, everything would officially belong to Kylian, my soon-to-be husband. The realization was bittersweet, as I struggled with relinquishing control. Despite my inner resistance, I had to acknowledge that this transition was inevitable, and I reminded myself of that fact constantly. I greeted my employees with a smile and a wave, although they would soon become Kylian's employees. While I held the position of their direct boss, the ultimate authority would shift to the man I was engaged to, at least on paper. Earlier, I had received an email detailing the upcoming changes, emphasizing that while most aspects would remain unchanged, certain details such as the name on the bottom of the checks would no longer be mine but his. I found myself surprisingly calm despite the occasion. Kylian had arrived earlier, his usual debonair and strikingly handsome self, exuding conf

Yvonne's POVI glared at the man sitting across from me. How dare he question my ability or Kylian’s ability to be reasonable. No one handled me. I’d never heard anything so chauvinistic in my life. I opened my mouth, ready to tell him exactly what I thought about his questions and assumptions. Kylian reached out and put one of his big hands over mine, which was gripping the edge of the table. “I think my business sense speaks for myself. I don’t make decisions about business based on my personal opinions. I won’t explain my decisions. My fiancée will be treated with the utmost respect. Trust me, I can handle my homelife, no matter what happens at the office,” he said firmly. I felt like I was in the seventeenth century, where my status as a woman was just above that of a sheep. It was making my blood boil. I wanted to kick him in the shins something fierce. “What will the media say about you buying the company? Won’t it look odd that a woman’s company is struggling, on the verge of

Kylian's POV This morning, I woke up with a renewed determination to resolve matters with Yvonne. I felt the urge to meet her and had a solid excuse in mind.Yesterday's events left Yvonne displeased, and while I didn't intend to upset her, certain issues needed addressing. It was crucial for investor satisfaction, and I wanted to assert my authority as the decision-maker. Naturally, this would likely anger her, as she was used to being in control. However, the situation was a result of her actions, and I needed to take charge to untangle the mess.After the meeting, she’d avoided saying more than a few words to me and the words were stilted that did come out of her mouth. I had a feeling she was going to back out of our arrangement. She got a good dose of what the future would be like in the company and didn’t like it. I had seen it in her eyes. The idea of holding onto her position was not nearly as enticing as it had been. I could see her second-guessing her decision. I needed to d

Kylian's POVI couldn’t help but laugh by her very unenthusiastic approach to getting a diamond ring. Wasn’t it what every woman wanted? She was acting like I was dragging her in front of the firing squad. I had never met a woman so reluctant to have expensive jewelry bestowed upon her. She was definitely an odd duck.She put on a smile and pretended to actually like me as we walked into the store. We were immediately greeted by several associates eager to sell us something expensive to fatten their own pockets with a healthy commission.“We’d like some time to browse,” I said, slowing their attack.“Of course,” the lead saleswoman said, holding out an arm and stopping the other two.“Go ahead,” I told Yvonne.“What? You seriously want me to pick a ring?” she asked, wrinkling her nose.I shrugged. “I guess I could.”She waved her hand and made her way to the case farthest away from the head of the store where the most expensive jewelry was stored. She was looking at the cheap stuff.“Y
