The Billionaire's Rebel Fiancée
Adriana never thought she'd find herself here, standing at her ex’s wedding, pretending to be over him. Enzo, the love of her life, is about to marry someone else, and the hurt she thought she’d buried resurfaces in an instant. As he pulls her into a hug, her heart falters, his familiar touch feels like home. Five years apart, yet her feelings are still raw, and seeing him with Alicia, his polished fiancée, stabs deeper than she cares to admit.
But Adriana's not alone. Zayn, Enzo's enigmatic brother, offers her an out, a "fake boyfriend" to shield her from the heartache of being the third wheel. What begins as a simple act of convenience spirals into something more intense, as their chemistry turns undeniably real. As secrets unravel and tensions rise, Adriana is forced to confront everything she's avoided for years, her unresolved feelings for Enzo, the fierce connection she feels with Zayn, and the raw vulnerability she’s terrified to embrace.
When Zayn reveals his true intentions, Adriana’s world shatters. Is he just playing a game to make Enzo jealous? Or is there something deeper simmering between them? As the wedding weekend unfolds, passion, betrayal, and emotional battles blur the lines of love and revenge. With the stakes higher than ever, Adriana must choose: stay locked in her past with Enzo or take a risk on a future with Zayn, the man who could heal her heart or break it completely.
Will Adriana choose to let go of the past and trust in a love she never saw coming?

Chapter: Chapter 63Adriana's POVI watched Zayn leave and immediately regretted telling him to go but my head was spinning too fast to think clearly. Attempted murder, investigations, and the thought of Victoria being capable of poisoning her own husband… My pulse was racing, and every breath felt heavier than the last because it was too much to process with him standing in my apartment looking devastated.My phone rang five minutes after he left and Enzo's name appeared on the screen. For a second, I just stared at the screen, debating whether silence was the safer choice. I almost did not answer because I could not handle more Castellano family drama right now but something made me pick up.“Adriana.” Enzo’s voice came through, rushed. “Is Zayn with you?”"He just left, why?""Call him back, get him on this call, I have some evidence here with me that can be proof against Victoria and Alicia and you both need to hear this now."My hands shook as I called Zayn back, "Enzo says he has something that cou

Chapter: Chapter 62Zayn's POVMilan looked different. Even the air felt different and more alive, more real than it ever did on the screen. When the plane finally touched down, my chest tightened with a mix of anticipation and dread. In less than an hour, I’d be standing in front of Adriana, trying to rebuild what I’d nearly destroyed. I was terrified she might slip through my hands again.The driver took me to the hotel first, where I dropped my bag and after confirming the penthouse suite was ready, I went to the florist where I picked up the roses I had ordered last night. Deep red roses felt too formal to me, but she liked them anyway, and finally went to the wine shop for the specific bottle she had pointed out months ago saying someday she wanted to try it.My hands were shaking when I got back in the car and gave the driver her address, I had flown across oceans for business deals worth millions without feeling this nervous but right now holding flowers and wine on my way to apologize I felt lik

Chapter: Chapter 61Adriana's POVSaturday morning came with light that felt too bright for how little I had slept and I woke up still holding my phone, my eyes swollen and my head pounding from an hour of talking to Zayn which had left me emotionally worn out.Andrew texted around nine, just checking on you after last night, hope you are okay.I looked at that message for a while before deciding that typing was not enough for what I needed to say, some conversations need actual voices so I called him."Hey," he picked up fast, "I was not sure you would want to talk today.""I do but I need to say something and you need to really listen and hear it," I said while walking to my window where Milan was starting to move below me."Okay," his voice shifted into something more careful, "I am listening."I did not let myself hesitate because hesitation would make this harder, "I am in love with Zayn, completely committed to making this work no matter how hard the distance gets, you have been amazing to work wit

Chapter: Chapter 60Zayn's POVShe answered and relief hit me so hard I actually had to sit down on the floor of Marcus's library because my legs seemed to have stopped working properly, just hearing her voice after an hour of silence felt like breathing again after drowning."What exactly is the main reason why you do not tell me?" she asked even though her voice was steady, I could hear the hurt underneath.I took a breath and decided right then that protecting her feelings was what got me here so maybe honesty would be what would get me out, "It must be pride, arrogance, stupidity, take your pick, I thought I could handle Isabella and Victoria's games without dragging you into it.""Dragging me into what exactly?""Isabella showed up on Monday as a consultant for a merger discussion," I said while running my hand through my hair, "I later discovered Victoria arranged it, brought her into my boardroom knowing exactly what it could do, and my first instinct was to deal with it myself instead of tell

Chapter: Chapter 59Adriana's POVI sat on my couch staring at that photo while Andrew stood awkwardly near my door because somehow he had ended up following me home when I left the restaurant early and I was too upset to tell him to leave."You said her name is Isabella Nuel?" I asked without looking up from my screen."Yeah," Andrew moved a bit closer, "she used to model for major fashion houses, now she does consulting for luxury brands and high level mergers, she is pretty famous in the wealthy circles."Famous, beautiful, standing beside my boyfriend like she belonged there, and suddenly every inadequacy I had ever felt about dating someone like Zayn came crashing down on me all at once.I was a data analyst from a normal background wearing clothes from regular stores while he moved in circles with women who had their own Wikipedia pages.My phone started buzzing repeatedly and when I looked down I saw message after message from Zayn, not just texts but photo attachments flooding my screen faster be

Chapter: Chapter 58Zayn's POVDinner started exactly how I knew it would, uncomfortable and orchestrated, with Marcus at the head of the table looking pleased that everyone had gathered while Victoria watched from her seat like a director monitoring her stage production.I had won the seating arrangement battle which meant Connor sat beside me and Isabella was safely across the table between two board members who could bore her with merger talk, but victory felt hollow because I could see her glancing at me every few minutes like she was waiting for something.The first course meal arrived and Marcus started one of his long stories about the early days of building the company, the kind of talks he told at every family dinner, and normally I would have listened politely while thinking about other things but tonight I could not focus on anything except my phone sitting heavy in my jacket pocket.It buzzed once during the salad course and I ignored it because pulling out my phone while Marcus was talking
