Chapter: Chapter 67: The Cost of ChoosingThe silence didn’t break.It stretched thin, fragile, dangerous like something that might snap if anyone dared to breathe too loudly.“I am in love with Julian.”The words didn’t just echo in the room. They settled. Heavy. Permanent. Like something carved into stone rather than spoken out loud.Chloe stared at her.For a moment, she didn’t move at all. No anger, no sarcasm, no sharp comeback waiting at the edge of her tongue. Just stillness and then the smallest fracture in her expression, like something inside her had slipped out of place.“You’re lying,” she said.But it didn’t land. Not the way her words usually did. There was no confidence in it, no venom just disbelief trying to survive.Elena didn’t rush to defend herself. She didn’t soften the moment or try to explain it away. Her fingers remained intertwined with Julian’s, steady, deliberate.“I’m not,” she said. Why would I?He takes care of me, he's loaded, obsessed over me and most importantly great in bed, what's not to li

Chapter: Chapter 66: The Baby Shower TrapThe invitations were impossible to ignore.Heavy cream cardstock. Gold-embossed lettering. Delivered by hand, not email. Not text. Hand-delivered like a declaration.“Celebrating the Vance Heir.”Elena turned the card over slowly between her fingers, her expression unreadable. The paper was thick, expensive Julian’s signature. Everything about it screamed control disguised as celebration.From across the room, Julian watched her.“You don’t like it,” he said.It wasn’t a question.Elena placed the invitation on the desk with deliberate care. “I don’t trust it.”Julian’s lips curved slightly, not amused interested. “It’s a baby shower, Elena. Not a battlefield.”She let out a quiet breath, almost a laugh. “In our world? It’s the same thing.”For a moment, neither of them spoke. The silence between them wasn’t empty anymore it was charged. Calculated. Two players studying the board.Julian walked toward her, slow, confident. “Let them come,” he said. “Let them watch. Let them talk.”His

Chapter: Chapter 65: The Alliance of the DiscardedThe wind off the Hudson was colder than it should have been.Sharp.Persistent.It cut through fabric, through skin settling somewhere deeper, somewhere harder to ignore.Chloe barely reacted to it.She stood at the edge of the pier in Jersey City, her arms folded tightly across her chest, her gaze fixed on the skyline across the water.Manhattan glowed.Alive.Untouchable.And at the center of itLike something carved out of glass and powerstood Vance Global Tower.Her father’s empire.Elena’s new throne.Chloe swallowed slowly.It still didn’t feel real sometimes.That Elena Elena was up there.Not as a guest.Not as a victim.But as someone who belonged.Someone who had… survived.Her grip tightened around her phone.The screen had long gone dark, but she didn’t let go.Like the information inside it might disappear if she did.“She’s pregnant.”Her voice was quiet.Carried easily by the wind.But it didn’t tremble.Not anymore.Sameer stood beside her, hands tucked into his coat

Chapter: Chapter 64: The Pregnancy RevealThe war didn’t stop.It didn’t pause.It didn’t soften.But something… interrupted it.Not a person.Not a strategy.Something quieter.Something that didn’t care about power or control or who was winning.Something biological.Unavoidable.---At first, Elena ignored it.The nausea.The fatigue.The strange heaviness in her body that felt different from stress but close enough to dismiss.She told herself it was the pressure.The boardroom.The constant tension.The way every day felt like walking a tightrope over something sharp.It made sense.It had to be that.Because anything elseAnything deeperWasn’t something she was ready to face.Until she couldn’t ignore it anymore.The clinic didn’t have a name she recognized.That was intentional.No connection to Julian.No quiet ownership buried in legal documents.No familiar faces.Just a clean, neutral space that smelled faintly of antiseptic and something floral that tried too hard to be comforting.Elena sat in the waiting room,

Chapter: Chapter 63: The Scent of BloodThe house had learned to hold its breath.That was the only way to survive it.The Vance mansion once a place of calculated quiet and controlled luxury now felt… different.Charged.Like the air before a storm that refused to break.Staff moved carefully.Doors closed softer.Voices dropped lower.Because everyone could feel itSomething was wrong at the top.Julian and Elena Vance no longer lived together.Not really.They occupied the same space.Shared the same rooms.Slept in the same bed.But everything in betweenEvery glance, every word, every touchCarried weight.Carried intention.Carried risk.It wasn’t a marriage.It was a battlefield.And neither of them had any intention of surrendering.That night, the house was quiet in a way that felt deliberate.Julian noticed it the moment he stepped inside.No music.No distant movement.No sign of Elena.He loosened his tie slowly as he walked through the living room, his gaze sweeping the space.Empty.Too empty.His jaw tightene

Chapter: Chapter 62: Chloe’s Rock BottomThe fall wasn’t dramatic.There was no single moment where everything shattered.No loud explosion.No screaming headlines.Just… silence.Slow.Humiliating.Unforgiving silence.While Elena Vance was becoming something untouchable gracing magazine covers, stepping out of black cars like she owned the city, her name spoken with admiration and envy in equal measureChloe Vance was learning how small a life could get.The studio apartment in Brooklyn barely fit a bed.Not even a proper bed just a narrow frame pushed against the wall, sheets that never quite stayed tucked in, a pillow that had long since lost its shape.The window overlooked a brick wall.Not even a decent view to romanticize the struggle.Just dull, red-brown brick and the occasional flicker of a neighbor’s TV through a cracked blind.The air smelled faintly of stale perfume and cheap cleaning spray.Chloe sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her phone.No new notifications.Not from friends.Not from family.Not from

An Almost Honest Affair
She needed a husband. He needed a wife. Neither expected to find each other at end of the aisle.
Mia Cross is a rising CEO with everything under control except her traditional family, who demand she marry before the year is out. Out of desperation, she invents the perfect boyfriend. But when her family insists on meeting him, her lie threatens to explode.
Enter Liam Wolfe, her infuriating rival from a competing firm. He’s ruthless, arrogant, and entirely too handsome for his own good. But he needs a “wife” to secure the business deal of his life. Their solution? A marriage of convenience.
The rules are simple: no love, no real intimacy, and an expiration date set in stone. But when family drama, boardroom battles, and scandalous rumors put their fragile arrangement under fire, Mia and Liam discover that pretending to be in love might be the most dangerous game of all.
Because somewhere between fake kisses and staged smiles, the lines are blurring. And the hardest rule of all to keep might be the one that forbids falling in love.
Will their marriage remain a lie… or become the truest thing they’ve ever known?

Chapter: Chapter 66Mia stopped sleeping properly.Not the kind of insomnia that came from racing thoughts, but the quieter kind where sleep arrived and left in fragments, where dreams bled too easily into waking life. She would drift off only to jolt awake with the feeling that she had forgotten something important. Something dangerous.She lay on her side now, staring at the faint line of light beneath the bedroom door. Liam hadn’t come to bed again.Her baby shifted, a slow roll that made her inhale sharply.“I know,” she whispered, pressing her palm there. “I feel it too.”She got up, wrapped a cardigan around herself, and padded down the hall.Liam was in the kitchen. Sitting at the table. Head in his hands.He looked up when he heard her. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you.”“You didn’t,” she said. Then, after a beat, “What’s wrong?”He hesitated, like he was choosing words from a minefield. “Rose had a scare tonight.”Mia leaned against the counter. “Another one?”“She fainted. Briefly.

Chapter: 65Mia woke up with the strange certainty that something had already gone wrong.Not the dramatic kind. No phone vibrating, no shouting down the hall. Just a quiet heaviness in her chest, like her body had sensed the shift before her mind could catch up.She lay still for a moment, one hand resting over her stomach, feeling for the familiar reassurance of movement.There it was. A soft nudge. Then another.“Good morning,” she whispered, forcing a smile into the empty room.Liam’s side of the bed was cold.That had become normal.She got up slowly, showered, dressed, moved through the house like a guest in a place that used to belong to her. Rose was already in the kitchen when Mia walked in, sipping tea, sunlight catching the diamond at her throat.“Morning,” Rose said gently.Mia nodded. “Morning.”They existed together in polite silence now. No open hostility. No warmth either. Just careful steps around invisible landmines.Rose’s hand drifted to her stomach.“I’ve been feeling a bit d

Chapter: Chapter 63The first headline didn’t come from a major outlet.It came from a blog.A small one. Easy to dismiss. The kind people pretended they didn’t read but always did.Mia saw it on her phone while waiting for Ethan in a quiet café tucked between two office buildings.TECH CEO SEEN GETTING “TOO CLOSE” WITH FORMER RIVAL TROUBLE IN THE WOLFE MARRIAGE?There was a photo beneath it.Grainy. Cropped. Taken from across the street.Her and Ethan. Standing too close. His hand mid-gesture. Her head tilted as she listened.Nothing scandalous.But context was everything.Mia didn’t flinch. She simply locked her phone and set it face-down on the table.“Let me guess,” Ethan said as he sat down. “We’ve been noticed.”“Barely,” she replied. “Which makes it perfect.”He studied her face. “You’re not upset?”“I’m tired of pretending I don’t know how this works.”She stirred her tea slowly. “Rose doesn’t need truth. She needs timing.”Ethan’s jaw tightened. “She’s setting you up.”“Yes,” Mia said calmly. “A

Chapter: Chapter 63The first thing Mia learned about being ignored was that it didn’t happen loudly.It happened in pauses. In delayed replies. In the way Liam’s attention slid past her like water around stone.He still asked if she’d eaten. Still reminded her about appointments. Still kissed her cheek before leaving the house.But the kisses were lighter now. Distracted. Like a habit he hadn’t yet broken.Rose, on the other hand, needed him.That was the word she used.Needed.Mia heard it constantly, woven into conversation to often like a fragile thread that would snap if pulled too hard.“ I've been dizzy again lat6,” Rose would say softly. "I shouldn’t be alone right now.” “The doctor said stress could be dangerous at this stage.”And Liam .Liam responded every time.Not because he loved Rose. He loved the child though.Liam has always had a thing for children,he swore to be there for his and give them all the love and things he missed as a kid.Mia knew that much.He responded because guilt had a

Chapter: Chapter: Unraveling Secrets Grief didn’t leave when the burial ended. It followed Mia home. It sat with her at the dining table where Jared used to steal food off Liam’s plate. It stood in the hallway where his laugh used to echo. It crept into the bedroom at night and pressed its weight against her chest until breathing felt like work. The house still smelled the same clean, expensive, quiet but something essential had gone missing. Like a note pulled out of a chord. Everything sounded wrong now. Mia woke before dawn most days. Not because she was rested, but because sleep refused to keep her. She lay on her side, one hand resting over her stomach, feeling the soft, steady proof that at least one thing in her life still chose to stay. Sometimes the baby moved gently, like a reminder. Sometimes it didn’t, and panic bloomed until she felt it again. Liam slept beside her, but not with her. There was a difference. His body faced away now. His breaths were shallow, restless. Even in sleep, there was distan

Chapter: Chapter 61: Farewell JaredThe sky was gray the kind of gray that felt intentional, like the world itself had chosen to mourn.Mia stood beneath a black umbrella, her fingers numb around the handle, her belly heavy beneath her coat. The cemetery stretched out before her in neat, indifferent rows, damp earth clinging to polished shoes and hems of dark clothing.Jared Coleman’s casket rested at the front.Closed. Final.She hadn’t cried yet.Not because she didn’t want to but because something inside her had locked tight, refusing to open. As if tears would mean admitting that he was really gone. As if once she cried, she would never stop.Liam stood beside her, silent, his jaw clenched so hard a muscle jumped near his temple. He hadn’t slept. None of them had. His suit hung on him like borrowed skin.Ava was there too, standing slightly behind Mia, one hand hovering near her back like she was afraid Mia might shatter if touched too firmly.And Rose stood on the other side of Liam.Dressed in black. Head bowed. H
