Chapter 1

VIVIANI stood in front of my art piece, Anticipation taking the best of me.The gallery was filled with people,their hushed conversations and murmurs kept seeming into my earsToday is one of the best day of my life..if not the best. ,I've never felt so fulfilled, happy and filled with so much life. This art piece is my life,my work of three months. I've dedicated my time and my heart into making itI gazed at my installation- a canvas of torn fabric,broken chains and splattered paint. I felt so proud and vulnerable. This was my declaration of independence,my refusal to be bound by the chains of conformity.The crowd began to disperse,and a group of art critics and collectors gathered around my installation,their keen eyes assessing each details of the pieceMy anxiety grew up. I knew this was the moment,the moment I've been waiting for my whole life. My chance to make a name for myself,a name that is not Everhart.The fist person that stepped forward was James.He's a popular critic

Chapter 2

VIVIANI glanced at my car,parked in the driveway,and for a moment,the temptation to flee in the familiar comfort of its embrace was almost overwhelming but my pride repelled against the idea,I wouldn't use anything my father had given me. Not now,not after what he said.I knew my father said that statement thinking I'd change my mind but no,I'm never going backWith a heavy heart, I hailed a cab and gave the driver my best friend Vera's address. I had nowhere else to go, no one else to turn to. Vera had always been my rock, my confidante. She would understand. She would take me in and help me pick up the pieces of my shattered life.As the cab stopped in front of Vera's apartment building, I paid the driver and got out. I trudged up the stairs, feeling like I was walking to my own execution. My legs felt heavy, my feet dragging on the ground as I approached her door and knocked,there was no answerI frowned, confusion gnawing at the edges of my mind.She couldn't have gone anywhere,t

Chapter 3

KIANI sat at my desk, sipping my coffee and gazing out the window at the city skyline, my mind focused on the upcoming business deal with the Forsythes.Suddenly, my phone rang, shattering the silence. I groaned as I reached for it, knowing exactly who it was. My grandfather's name flashed on the screen, and I hesitated for a moment before answering."Kian, we need to talk"He said, his voice firm and commanding.I sighed, rubbing my temples. "What is it, Grandfather? I'm busy.""Busy?"He repeated, his voice laced with disapproval."You're always busy, Kian. But this can't wait. You need to get married. You're 30 years old, and you still haven't settled down with a suitable wife."I rolled my eyes, feeling a surge of frustration."I've heard this before, Grandfather, and my answer is still no. I'm not going to marry some woman just to please you and the family. I have my own life to live.""Your own life?"He repeated, his voice cold and menacing. "You're a Blackwood, Kian. You ha

Chapter 4

VIVIANIf someone had told me just days ago that I'd be disowned by my father, the man who was supposed to love and support me unconditionally, I would have brutally disagreed. And if they had also told me that the two people I trusted most in this world, my best friend and my confidant, would betray me in the worst possible way, I would have thought they were crazy. But life has a way of proving us wrong, and now here I am, standing in front of a stranger who has just asked me to marry him."Wait..what?"I blinked continuously trying to process his words."I want you to marry me Vivian"He repeated,his eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that made me quiver"Now you're definitely crazy"I burst into another round of laughter""I want you to marry me for a year and in return, I'll find your art career. I'll give you everything you need to succeed -studio space,materials, connection, everythingHe said,his voice calm and collected.Someone remind me to not get drunk again. How mu

Chapter 5

KIAN AND VIVIAN KIANI watched Vivian keenly as she spoke, her beauty captivating me more than the previous night or morning. Her dress clung to her curves perfectly, accentuating her figure.Ohh Kian,you seriously aren't thinking about this"But I have my terms" She said, her hands twitching nervously."What are those?" I asked, my eyebrows furrowed in curiosity."On the condition that we depict the perfect couple's life only in public" She began, her words spilling out rapidly."But while indoors, you stay clear of me. No attachment, none of those loyalty shits. I can do whatever I want or be with whoever I want to be with."I scoffed, surprised by her audacity. Did she really think I wanted to be with her?"Deal, it is then" I concluded, and she quickly stood up from her seat."Uhm...Vivian" I called, reaching for her hand, but she yanked it away.Funny"I might not have included this, but you don't get to touch me either." She cooed,her gaze unwaveringI
