Chapter 21

As the car pulled away from the curb, Julian glanced over at Alexis, who was slumped against the window, her flushed cheeks a telltale sign of the evening's indulgence.“You hanging in there?” he asked gently, his tone laced with concern.Alexis groaned in response, barely lifting her head. “I’m fine,” she mumbled, waving a hand dismissively.But her body betrayed her. Moments later, she lurched forward, clutching her stomach.Julian’s instincts kicked in as he quickly parked by the side and reached for the bottle of water on the console, but it was too late.The sound of Alexis retching filled the car, followed by the unmistakable splatter on the pristine leather seats.Julian winced but immediately leaned over to steady her, holding her hair back as she emptied the contents of her stomach.“Oh no,” Alexis groaned, her voice weak and filled with embarrassment. “Your car... I ruined your car.”Julian shook his head, his hand resting gently on her back as she slumped against the seat a

Chapter 22

Alexis stirred awake, her head still heavy but not as disoriented as the night before.The soft scent of freshly brewed coffee tickled her senses, drawing her attention to the dining area of the suite.Julian was seated by the window, sunlight streaming in and highlighting the sharp contours of his face.His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, his tousled hair giving him an effortlessly charming look.He sipped his coffee leisurely, glancing over a tablet in his hands.Alexis blinked, momentarily captivated.He looked so... put together, so at ease. And here she was, still trying to remember how she’d managed to ruin his car and end up on his couch.As if sensing her gaze, Julian looked up.A slow smile spread across his face. “Morning, sleepyhead.”She groaned, running a hand through her tangled hair. “Don’t call me that.”“Would you prefer ‘party queen’? Or maybe ‘car wrecker’?” he teased, his tone light.Alexis grabbed a pillow and tossed it at him, but Julian caught it effortles

Chapter 23

The drive was quiet but not uncomfortable. Alexis occasionally glanced at Julian, her thoughts swirling.Who would have thought this man, someone she barely knew a month ago, would become such an integral part of her life so quickly?When they arrived at the City Center, Alexis couldn’t help but feel a twinge of nervousness.The sleek, modern building loomed ahead, bustling with people and energy.Julian parked the car and walked around to open her door.“Ready?” he asked, holding out his hand.She hesitated for only a moment before taking it. “Let’s do this.”Inside, they were greeted with polite smiles and curious glances.Alexis couldn’t tell if people recognized her or if they were just intrigued by the pair of them.Julian, as always, exuded a quiet confidence that made it impossible for anyone to ignore him.After filling out the necessary paperwork and presenting their IDs, the clerk behind the counter looked up at them with a warm smile. “Congratulations to the both of you.

Chapter 24

Alexis watched, her eyes wide as Julian paced the room, issuing precise instructions to what she could only assume was a team of professionals.His demeanor was sharp and authoritative, a stark contrast to the easygoing man she had married earlier.When he finally hung up, he turned to her, his expression unreadable. “Consider it handled.”“Just like that?” she asked, still processing what she had just witnessed.“Just like that,” he confirmed, sitting beside her.Alexis let out a shaky laugh, shaking her head. “You really are full of surprises, Julian Devereux.”He shrugged, a faint smile tugging at his lips. “You’ll get used to it.”Alexis's phone buzzed again, breaking the brief moment of peace. She glanced at the screen, and her heart sank when she saw her mother’s name flashing.“Great,” she muttered under her breath before picking up the call. “Hi, Mom.”“Alexis Montgomery, what on earth is going on?” her mother’s voice was sharp and filled with concern. “Are the headlines true?

Chapter 25

Julian’s lips found Alexis’s again, this time with more urgency, more need.The playful smirk he usually wore was gone, replaced by a deep, all encompassing passion that made Alexis's breath catch.As his hands slid up her back, steady but commanding, she felt her entire body melt into his touch.Her fingers instinctively reached for the buttons of his shirt, working them free one by one as their kisses grew hungrier.When the fabric finally fell away, her hands moved to his chest, trailing over the defined muscles and hard planes of his body.Her breath hitched as she took in the sight before her. His well built physique was flawless, every muscle sculpted like art. For a moment, she simply stared, captivated.Julian chuckled softly at her reaction, the sound rich and deep. “See something you like?” he teased, his voice low and warm.Alexis’s lips curved into a small, mischievous smile. “Maybe,” she replied, her tone light but her gaze heavy with admiration.He dipped his head to kis

Chapter 26

Julian sat at his desk, the soft glow of the desk lamp illuminating his sharp features as he flipped through documents.His phone rested beside him, calls already made, and plans already set in motion. His focus was intense, but as the clock struck 6 p.m., he heard the faint creak of the bedroom door opening.He glanced up, and the sight that greeted him stole his breath.Alexis stood in the doorway, wearing his shirt, the fabric hanging loosely around her frame but barely skimming the tops of her thighs.Her hair was slightly tousled from sleep, and her bare feet made soft pats against the floor as she stepped into the room.She rubbed her eyes briefly before giving him a sleepy smile.Julian leaned back in his chair, his lips curling into a teasing smirk. “Is this your idea of payback? Trying to distract me while I’m working?”Alexis tilted her head, feigning innocence. “What do you mean? I just woke up and needed to find you.”His gaze lingered on her, his tone playful but edged wi

Chapter 27

After dinner at an elegant rooftop restaurant that overlooked the glittering city, Julian drove Alexis home.The car ride was filled with light banter and occasional silences, both of them savoring the comfort of each other’s company.As the car rolled to a stop in front of the grand Montgomery estate, Julian turned to her, his expression soft yet thoughtful.“So… do you want me to come in?” he asked, tilting his head slightly as his fingers drummed gently on the steering wheel. “We can break the news together to your parents. It might soften the blow.”Alexis smiled at his offer, warmth spreading in her chest at his willingness to face her parents with her. But she shook her head. “Thanks, but no... well, let’s just say I should handle this on my own first.”Julian nodded, respecting her decision. “Alright. But if you need me, just call.”Alexis hesitated, her hand hovering over the door handle. “Thank you, Julian. For tonight. For everything.”He leaned toward her, brushing a soft k

Chapter 28

As Julian approached the grand double doors leading to the main hall, the unmistakable sound of his mother’s laughter reached his ears.It was the kind of laugh she reserved for impressing important guests, high pitched, practiced, and utterly insincere.A softer, more demure chuckle followed, one he instantly recognized as Charlotte Wainwright’s.Julian cursed under his breath, his hand pausing on the ornate handle.He clenched his jaw, debating whether to turn around and leave before he was noticed. But before he could entertain the thought any longer, he steeled himself, adjusted his blazer, and pushed open the door.Inside, his mother, Vivian Devereux, sat on one of the lavish sofas in the sitting area, her pearl necklace glinting under the chandelier’s light. Next to her, Charlotte perched elegantly, her manicured fingers lightly gripping a flute of champagne.Both women turned at the sound of his entrance.“Julian, darling!” Vivian exclaimed, her face lighting up in that all too

Chapter 29

Sophia’s eyes filled with tears, but her voice was resolute. “I deserve better than this. If you’re so obsessed with Alexis, then go. Chase after her. But don’t keep stringing me along while your heart is somewhere else.”Ryan reached out to her, but she pulled away, shaking her head. “Don’t. I can’t do this anymore, Ryan.”Ryan was left speechless. As Sophia climbed out of bed and began to dress, a heavy silence filled the room.By the time she walked out, slamming the door behind her, Ryan sat alone in the suffocating quiet, his frustration and confusion boiling over into a single thought. What the hell am I doing?Sophia stormed down the grand staircase, her heels clicking sharply against the polished marble floor as her frustration simmered beneath her composed exterior.The bar was dimly lit, buzzing with subdued chatter and the clink of glasses. She headed straight to the counter, ordering a strong drink to drown out the sting of Ryan's obsession with Alexis.As she sipped her c

Chapter 30

The sound of her phone buzzing on the nightstand broke through Alexis’ peaceful slumber.Groggily, she reached out, squinting at the screen. Julian Devereux.A small smile tugged at her lips as she accepted the call.“Good morning,” she mumbled, her voice still heavy with sleep.“Morning, Mrs. Devereux,” Julian’s smooth voice teased on the other end. “How did you sleep?”Alexis stretched under the covers, a soft yawn escaping her. “Better than I expected. What’s up? Calling me this early feels like trouble.”Julian chuckled. “Trouble? Hardly. I thought I’d take you out for breakfast. Get dressed, I’ll be there in 20 minutes.”“What if I’m not ready?” she challenged playfully, sitting up and rubbing her eyes.“Then I’ll come in and help you get ready myself,” he quipped, the teasing edge in his tone making her laugh.“Fine. Give me 30,” she countered before hanging up.Thirty five minutes later, Alexis slid into the passenger seat of Julian’s car, dressed casually yet effortlessly chic
