Emelia's PovI stood still staring at the pictures on my phone screen. I still couldn’t believe what I was seeing. My heart beating heavily against my chest as if threatening to fall out.Funny, how just a few pictures could.ruin what was supposed to be the happiest moment of my entire life.My whole world was crumbling and there was nothing I could do to stop it.I stood up in an instant, grabbing my car keys and headed towards my car. I knew damn well I shouldn’t be driving but I just couldn't care. There was no need, my life was already ruined"Jeffrey can't be trusted, Emelia""But I love him and I trust him, that's all that matters right?""True, but those two things are never enough. You shouldn't trust someone like him this much. It'll only ruin you,"My friend's words flashed across my mind and more than anything, I was hoping she was here for me to tell her that it did ruin me.Jeffrey has finally ruined me.I entered my car, before starting the car's engine. The voices

Emelia’sPov"Let's get married,” blurted out, stopping him in his tracks.'What the hell are you doing, Emelia?'"What?!”"Let's get into a fake relationship." I rephrased, meeting his eyes once again.It was an insane request, but one thing I was more than sure of was that I needed to make Jeffrey regret what he did, and there's no better way to do that than getting into a relationship with billionaire CEO Isaiah Lyon."And what makes you think I'll agree to that?" He asked, raising a brow."Because you just broke up with your girlfriend, and I assumed you need a replacement." I said, giving a wide smile.“Well, you assume wrong,” he gave a straight answer."I need a man to be in a relationship with and he needs to pay for what he did, there's no better way for me to do that than to be in a relationship with you," he said, almost pleading."No.""Why?"“I have no interest in being part of your marriage catastrophe,” he replied coldly.“Please”.A deafening silence took over, and for

Emelia's PovWe reached his house, and he alighted first while I had no choice but to follow suit. Leo unlocked the door, and we both walked in, giving me the chance to finally admire how beautiful the house was."This is beautiful," I said to no one in particular, admiring the different antiques used in decorating the house."This will be your home for now on, at least till the contract is over," he stated coldly. "The housekeeper will be back tomorrow; in the meantime, you have the house to yourself; feel free to do whatever you want.""Won't you be living here with me?" I asked."That'll be once in a while." "So, you plan on leaving me all alone here?""Yes, and I'm sure you'll get used to it.""But...""Leo will bring you the contract later. And right now, I need to be at a meeting," he uttered firmly. "So, take good care of yourself, Emelia." With that, he turned around and walked out, leaving me all alone in the empty house.I stood in the middle of the house, gazing around wit

“Master doesn't allow anyone touch that” the girl spoke, stopping me in my tracks.I paused, immediately retracting my hands. “ Why not ?”“I don't know ma'am” She replied, her head laid in a respectful bow.“What's your name?” I finally asked. She had been so nervous since she came, I wondered if there was something I was doing that scared her.“I am Lily ma'am” I steadily reached my hands to her face, guiding her bowed head to look up to me.“Don't do that, you can look up.” I reassured, giving her a welcoming smile.Lily blinked up at me, her eyes widened with a mixture of surprise and gratitude. “Thank you, ma’am,” she whispered, a hint of relief easing her tension.Before I could respond, the door flung open, revealing a tall figure of Isaiah, his huge build filling the doorway. His expression immediately stiffened as his eyes met mine. There was something different in his eyes—more commanding than I remembered, his presence both intimidating and exhilarating.“What are you doin

The evening felt like a dream, one I was struggling to wake up from. My cheeks still burned from the unexpected kiss Isaiah had planted on my skin, the crowd's attention hung around us like a heavy fog. I kept my composure, but underneath, my nerves were unraveling.“Play along” His words escape his forced smile. I nodded.Isaiah’s hand rested on my waist as we made our way through the room, his touch was casual as if reminding me that we were still playing the part. I followed his lead, trying to appear calm despite how his touch still lingered on my skin and made me feel.His touch felt rehearsed. As if he had planned this all along. I could feel a quick sting of disappointment make it's way in my chest, though I had no right to feel that way. He had warned me about the expectations of his world, about the demands it brought but I still accepted regardless . And yet, for a brief moment, I had foolishly hoped for something different.We made our way to the table we were previously a
