Chapter 42: EmeraldClaire’s POVI held my breath and sucked in my stomach so Hilary, the assigned attendant, could zip the back of my dress quicker. I turned as I stood before the grand mirror, the emerald green evening gown clung to my silhouette with an almost magnetic grace. The luxurious fabric cascaded down my body, its rich hue highlighting the intricate updo of my hair, which perfectly complements the elegance of the dress. The bodice, artfully gathered to one side, cradles my torso, its asymmetrical design adding an intriguing touch of sophistication. A delicate sweep of fabric drapes over my shoulder, shimmering gently under the chandelier's light as if whispering secrets of timeless beauty.My eyes are drawn to the intricate detailing on the bodice, where delicate embellishments catch the light, twinkling like distant stars in a night sky.

Chapter 44: A Night of PretenseClaire’s POVAlex's father, Alessandro Vermont, stood in the center of the room, surrounded by important people. He saw us right away, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked us over."Ah, Alex, Claire," he greeted us with a polite smile. "You both look splendid.""Thank you, Father," Alex replied, respectful but firm. "We wouldn't miss this for the world."Alessandro looked at me and, for a moment, I thought I saw approval.

We can figure something out.”I had appreciated his concern, but I needed to maintain some control over my life. “I know, Alex, but I want to do this. I need to at least turn in my resignation properly. I owe it to myself.” And to be honest, I also wanted to see the face of my co-workers who talked shit behind my back now that everyone knows I am his wife. I should at least take advantage of th

Chapter 48: A Legal BattleClaire’s POVI sat in the living room, sipping my morning coffee and scrolling through the news on my phone. The headlines were still buzzing about the gala and my unexpected entrance into the public eye as Alex’s wife. It felt surreal, almost like I was living someone else’s life. The ringing of my phone jolted me out of my thoughts. I glanced at the screen and saw my father's name flashing. My heart sank, and I glanced at Alex who was finishing his pancake before dumping the plate in the sink.Taking a deep breath, I answered. "Hello, Dad."

Chapter 50 - Suspect: Found a LeadClaire’s POVAlex informed me that his security team had made significant progress in tracking down the suspect behind the bombing incident.

The exterior was sleek and modern, with tinted windows that reflected the sunlight, giving it an almost mirror-like appearance.
