Chapter: Chapter 7Just as Amber was trying to calm her racing heartbeat, a slow clap echoed from behind them. The sound was elegant—but laced with sharp mockery. “What a touching performance, Dave. I almost shed a tear seeing how protective you are of your new toy.” Amber turned—and instantly froze. Standing before her was a woman who looked like she had stepped straight off the cover of Vogue. Her black hair was flawlessly styled, and the sleek black silk dress wrapped perfectly around her slender figure. It was Bella—Dave’s ex-wife. The woman who had destroyed his reputation with a single scandal. Bella’s gaze fell on Amber, scanning her from head to toe with clear disdain. “So this is the girl you chose to replace me? A bit… skinny, isn’t she?” Bella let out a soft laugh, then turned her sharp eyes toward Dave. “I didn’t know your standards had dropped so drastically. Or maybe you just needed someone desperate enough to agree to your ridiculous contract.” Dave didn’t loosen his hold on Amber

Chapter: Chapter 6The flashes of camera lights burst again as reporters snapped photos of Amber and Dave from every angle.This was big news—something that would explode across the internet. A young businessman who had been divorced by his wife for being “incompetent” as a husband was now suddenly appearing with a woman struggling financially.Even a fool would think this was nothing but a staged lie.After the provocative scene on the red carpet, Dave didn’t give Amber a chance to protest. His grip on her waist tightened as he guided her calmly into the grand ballroom, as if he hadn’t just dropped a bombshell in front of the world’s media.As soon as the large doors closed behind them, the noise of camera shutters was replaced by the soft clinking of crystal glasses and the soothing melody of classical music. But for Amber, the quiet inside felt even more terrifying.“Let go of me, Dave,” Amber whispered through clenched teeth. She tried to pull away, but his hand on her bare back pressed even firmer,

Chapter: Chapter 5Amber remained sitting stiffly in her chair while Dave stood very close behind her. The man’s masculine scent seemed to surround her, making it hard for Amber to breathe. “You’re trembling,” Dave whispered. His voice was no longer cold like when he spoke to Jeff. It sounded heavy and rough. Amber tried to stand, but Dave’s hand came down on her shoulder, gently pressing her back into the chair with quiet authority. “Dave, you don’t have to pretend anymore. Jeff is gone,” Amber said, her voice slightly shaking. Dave didn’t answer. Instead of stepping away, he walked around the chair and knelt on one knee in front of Amber. This position made their faces level. The small distance between them allowed Amber to see the dark glint in the man’s gray eyes. “Pretend?” Dave repeated with a low laugh that sounded almost like a growl. Suddenly, Dave gripped both armrests of Amber’s chair, trapping her between them. His face moved closer, only a few millimeters from Amber’s lips. “I did it

Chapter: Chapter 4Dinner passed in a very tense atmosphere. Jeff barely touched his food. His eyes kept dissecting Amber with a look filled with disbelief, anger, and regret that he tried to hide behind arrogance. Suddenly, Dave’s phone vibrated on the table. He glanced at the screen, then stood up. “I need to take this call from New York. It’s important,” Dave said flatly. He briefly looked at Jeff—a clear warning in his gaze—before walking out to the dining room balcony. As soon as the glass door closed and Dave moved away, the mood at the table changed instantly. Jeff dropped his fork harshly and leaned toward Amber. “Impressive acting, Amber,” Jeff hissed mockingly. “How much did Uncle Dave offer you? Are you really that desperate for money that you’re willing to sell yourself to a man who will never even touch you in bed?” Amber clenched her fists under the table. “This is none of your business, Jeff. You were the one who called me a poor woman. I’m just doing what I have to do to surv

Chapter: Chapter 3Amber jolted awake, her heart pounding. When she looked up, she saw Dave standing beside the bed. He was still wearing his suit, and his mere presence made the spacious room feel suddenly smaller. “I… I’m sorry. I was exhausted,” Amber said quickly, pushing her hair back into place. “Come with me. The legal consultant is waiting in the library,” Dave said flatly. He didn’t wait for her reply. Amber followed him through the marble hallway. Every servant they passed bowed deeply, their eyes fixed on the floor. The strict discipline in this house felt suffocating. When they entered the library, a middle-aged man in a neat suit stood up immediately. “Mr. Oliver. Miss Pierce.” Dave took his seat behind the large wooden desk and gestured for Amber to sit across from him. A thick stack of documents lay between them. “This is our legally binding marriage contract,” Dave began, his voice calm but firm. “Duration: two years. During that time, you will accompany me to every soc

Chapter: Chapter 2Amber scoffed inwardly. All men were the same. Even Dave, rumored to be gay, wanted to see her naked. She gripped her wine glass, her hands trembling. The chill of the crystal was nothing compared to the cold aura emanating from the man before her. Dave Oliver sat with his legs crossed, looking every bit the powerful sovereign on his leather throne. "I can give you exactly what Jeff offered. On one condition: you dance for me," Dave said, his voice devoid of expression. Amber fell silent for a moment. At the very least, dancing for Dave alone was far better than being a spectacle for a leering crowd. She stood up immediately, bracing herself to undress. Dave remained reclined on the sofa, watching her every move with a flat, clinical gaze. Amber felt a flicker of confusion. Why did he show no sign of interest, even as she stood nearly bare? Oh, she had forgotten—Dave supposedly had no taste for women. "Put your clothes back on!" Dave barked just as Amber reached for the clasp of

Chapter: Chapter 21Beatrice slammed her tablet down onto the desk. Her face looked cold, but her mind was working quickly. She began arranging her plan carefully, like placing pieces on a chessboard. Every move had to be precise. There was no room for mistakes. For her, Leon was not just a child. He was part of the Xavier family, an heir that had to be secured. But Sheina, or Camila, was someone she did not want to exist. She wanted Leon, but she intended to get rid of Camila. “Assistant,” Beatrice called without turning her head. Her voice was firm and impossible to argue with. “Do not let Damian find out that I am investigating that child. If he knows, he will act without thinking. His guilt will only ruin everything.” Her assistant nodded quickly. He was already used to Beatrice’s cold and calculated way of working. “I want all the evidence in my hands first,” Beatrice continued. “Before Damian has the chance to run a DNA test or take action on his own.” “As I understand, My Lady,” the assistan

Chapter: Chapter 20The Xavier family mansion felt quieter than usual that morning. In the spacious dining room, Lady Beatrice sat alone at the end of a long table made of expensive teak wood. A luxurious breakfast was served in front of her, but she did not touch any of it. Her full attention was on several newspapers spread across the table. On the front page, there was a photo of Damian kissing Sheina Blake in the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel. Beatrice stared at the photo with narrowed eyes. For others, it might just be a scandal. But for Beatrice, it was a serious threat to the Xavier family’s reputation. “He has truly lost his mind,” she muttered quietly, her voice cold and filled with disapproval. Beatrice was not someone who believed in coincidences. Sheina’s sudden appearance, her resemblance to Camila, and the way Damian had changed so drastically all felt like part of a carefully planned scheme. She picked up her phone and dialed a number that was not saved in her contacts. “Come to

Chapter: Chapter 19The room suddenly felt extremely cold, as if freezing air had filled the entire luxurious suite. Damian stood frozen in place, his breathing heavy and uneven. The words he had just spoken—that Sheina was Camila and Leon was his son—still hung in the air, creating intense pressure. On the other side, Sheina felt her head spin. Hearing Leon’s name spoken with such a strong sense of ownership instantly triggered her instinct as a mother to protect her child. Sheina laughed. But it wasn’t a happy laugh. It sounded hollow, even slightly mocking. “You’ve really gone crazy, Damian,” she said. Her voice sounded steady, even though chaos was raging inside her. She quickly walked to the small table in the corner of the room. Her hands trembled slightly as she opened her leather bag and took out an old brown folder—the one she had always kept to protect herself and Leon. Without hesitation, she threw the folder onto the bed, right in front of Damian. “Open it,” she said sharply. “See for

Chapter: Chapter 18Julian stopped in his tracks and looked at Sheina seriously. He could clearly see the fear in her eyes—fear she rarely showed. “It’s too late to leave quietly, Sheina,” Julian said softly but firmly. “If Damian has already seen the news, he’s definitely on his way here. He might even… already be downstairs.” Sheina fell silent for a moment, her hands freezing mid-fold. Her breathing grew heavy, her chest rising and falling unevenly. “Then we have to be faster,” she replied, forcing herself to stay calm. “I can’t face him right now. Not yet.” Julian let out a breath. He understood Sheina’s condition, but he wasn’t sure this was the best decision. “I’ll get the car ready at the back entrance,” Julian said finally. “We’ll leave through the staff exit. It’s safer.” Sheina nodded quickly. “Where’s Leon?” “In the next room, with his nanny.” Without waiting any longer, Sheina grabbed her bag. Her hands trembled slightly as she put important documents inside. Nothing could

Chapter: Chapter 17The headline was splashed across every major news portal. Beneath it, a high-resolution photo—captured through a sharp telephoto lens—froze a moment that should have remained buried in the darkness of last night’s hotel lobby. In the image, Damian was gripping Sheina’s shoulders, their faces only inches apart, their silhouettes merging in a kiss that looked both intimate and desperate. “Julian… how… how is this possible?” Sheina’s voice caught in her throat, her heart racing wildly. Her cheeks flushed red—not from embarrassment, but from tension and fear. She remembered every second of that kiss—the heat of Damian’s breath, the strong scent of whiskey, and his confession about searching for her for five long years. Last night, overwhelmed by surging emotions, Sheina had allowed the walls around her heart to crack. And now, those cracks were exposed for all of New York to see. “The paparazzi must have followed Damian’s car from the gallery,” Julian said grimly as he paced back and

Chapter: Chapter 16The elevator doors closed, cutting off Sheina’s view of Damian’s broken figure on the lobby floor. The moment she was inside the moving lift, her defenses collapsed. She slid down, leaning her back against the cold wall, covering her mouth with her hand to hold back her sobs.“Ten minutes… he looked for me just ten minutes after I left,” she whispered, her voice trembling.Damian’s words kept replaying in her mind. For five years, Sheina had built her new identity on hatred. She convinced herself that on that night, she had been thrown away like trash by him.But the truth—that Damian had chased after her, searched for her in the middle of the storm, and lost his sleep for an entire year—began to shake her resolve.If he had truly searched for her, then her suffering wasn’t because he didn’t care… but because fate had cruelly played with their timing.Still, the pain in her heart was too deep to be healed by one drunken confession.The elevator stopped at her suite floor.
