"So, Tyson, do you just lurk around waiting to interrupt people or is that a special service you offer?"
He leaned against the table, his gaze locking with mine. "I'd say it's a special service, but only for certain people. I wouldn't want you to think I'm not paying enough attention to you, love."
"Is that so?" I raised an eyebrow, challenging him, "Because I was under the impression you enjoyed making my life difficult, not keeping an eye on it."
He chuckled, crossing his arms. "Well, it seems like you could use the excitement."
"Oh, trust me, my life's exciting enough without you stirring up trouble." I scoffed, but the corners of my mouth twitched upwards in a reluctant smile.
"But, perhaps I'm the kind of trouble you need."

Chapter: Chapter NineAshley POV "Doesn’t have to be mutual today. There’s always tomorrow...or the day after that." He reached out and tilted my chin. Reflex kicked in and I smacked his hand away without hesitation. Mason was glaring and Chase was already rising from his seat. "Start moving." Ivan’s smile faded a notch. "Come on, don’t be like that..." "Ivan." That notorious voice interjected. We all turned as Tyson approached the table, that lazy, arrogant smirk on his face. He walked right up to Ivan and ruffled his hair like some annoying older brother. Ivan flinched and instantly shot up from the table, clearly uncomfortable. "What do you think you’re doing?" Tyson asked, still smiling, but the threat behind it was razor-sharp. Ivan didn’t answer. I just sat there, watching the tension shift the air around us. Tyson didn’t even look at me, but somehow...I knew he’d come because of me. "Nothing...sorry," Ivan muttered, stepping back. "I was just checking in. Everything’s good." Without wait

My eyes fluttered shut for half a second, just enough to not see the person directly in front of me.I walked right into him."Um...what are you doing?" A guy's voice asked, amused.I blinked up, already expecting some sarcastic remark or an annoyed grunt."Waiting for you to snap at me." I said honestly, stepping back and taking in his features. Dark brown hair styled in a drop fade, strong jaw, brown eyes that flicked over me curiously."Well, my name is Mason." He said with a soft chuckle, clearly not offended.Mason. The same one Chase and Tyson mentioned?I tilted my head slightly. "Ashley. I’m guessing you’re one of Tyson’s pals?" He nodded once."And you’re the new girl who told him off?" He asked, his eyes narrowing with interest.I smirked proudly and nodded again.He burst out laughing. "That was so fucking hilarious." I blinked, surprised.He noticed. "What, you tho

Chapter: Chapter Seven Ashley POV The next morning... Stepping onto campus, I made my way to my locker, ignoring the few lingering whispers still floating around from yesterday's prank. I wasn't worried. If Tyson had figured out it was me, he would’ve already tracked me down. But since I hadn’t heard a word from him yet, I knew he was still fuming, still searching. And that made it all the more satisfying. As my fingers keyed in the code to my locker, my eyes flickered down the hall. That’s when I spotted him—Tyson, pressed up against some girl, his hands tangled with hers at his locker like they were in their own little world. I scoffed, rolling my eyes and looking away before he could catch me staring. I focused on retrieving my books for my first class, shutting my locker with more force than necessary. A tap on my shoulder made me turn and I found Chase standing there. "Hey." I greeted, shifting the books in my arms as I leaned casually against my locker. "How have you been?" He asked, his

Chapter: Chapter Six Ashley POV The moment I saw Tyson pulling into the campus parking lot that morning, I knew it was time. Leaning against the entrance, I pretended to scroll through my phone as he parked his bike near the usual spot. He swung his leg over, adjusted his leather jacket and ran a hand through his hair before heading toward the main building—completely oblivious to what I had planned. I waited until the coast was clear. With a quick glance around, I casually made my way to the parking lot, my heart pounding with excitement. A few students were nearby, but no one was paying attention to me. Perfect. Reaching Tyson’s bike, I pulled my bag around and retrieved the supplies—two full rolls of industrial-strength plastic wrap and a giant container of glitter. Working fast, I looped the plastic wrap around the bike, layering it over the handlebars, seat and wheels until the entire thing was trapped like a wrapped-up sandwich. Then came the best part. I popped open the container and s

Chapter: Chapter FiveAshley's POV Moments later, I parked outside a nearby store, yanking off my helmet before heading inside. The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead as I grabbed a bottle of vodka off the shelf and made my way to the cashier. The woman barely glanced at my ID before bagging the bottle and handing it over. Stepping back outside, I climbed onto my bike and drove aimlessly, the wind cool against my face. I wasn’t sure where I was going—just somewhere that wasn’t home. Eventually, I found myself at the nearest park. Cutting the engine, I swung off the bike and made my way toward a secluded spot beneath a tree. The grass was still damp with morning dew, but I didn’t care. I twisted the cap off the vodka and took a deep swig, wincing as the burn spread down my throat. The sensation was both familiar and numbing—exactly what I needed. Leaning back against the tree, I let out a slow breath, staring up at the sky as I took another drink. For now at least, the world could wait. The shar

Seated at the long marble table was Charlotte, flipping through the pages of a high-end fashion magazine. My stepmother was always polished—flawless makeup, designer outfits and an air of sophistication that screamed "fashion diva.""Ashley, please join me for breakfast." She said, barely looking up as she turned another page.Suppressing a sigh, I pulled out a chair and sat down, serving myself some food. I ate in silence, my mind preoccupied with yesterday's events.Then, as if reading my thoughts, Charlotte spoke. "Ashley, who was that boy who dropped you home yesterday?"I kept my gaze on my plate, stabbing a piece of fruit with my fork. "What boy?" I asked casually."Don't play games with me," She said, her tone sharp. "I saw you arriving on his motorcycle. The outdoor cameras don't lie."I met her gaze, unfazed.

Justin Antonio Martínez, a wealthy and powerful businessman, the owner of the Martínez Fashion Industry. His arrogance and unrelenting ambition was well known to the prying eyes of the media.
As Justin searches for the perfect woman to hire as his wife, he meets Isabella, a woman who unexpectedly challenges the emptiness of his carefully controlled life.

"You’re relentless, wife."
"And who’s a good boy?" She teased, tilting her head at me like she was addressing a misbehaving puppy.
I smirked but kept my mouth shut.
She leaned in closer, her voice softening to a coo. "Is the good boy angry?"
That was it. Restraint? Gone.
Before I knew it, my hand was at the back of her neck, pulling her closer. Her eyes widened as her breath caught, her face mere inches from mine.
"Justin." She whispered, barely audible, her hand gripping mine like she wasn’t sure if she wanted to push me away or pull me closer.
"Yes, wife?" I asked, my gaze flicking between her wide eyes and her parted lips.
"Justin." She said again, pouting this time, her cheeks turning a shade of red that I couldn’t ignore.
"Hmm?" I couldn’t help myself.
I leaned in, pressing a quick, firm kiss to her soft lips. The way her eyes widened and her blush deepened—it was priceless.
She froze for a moment, like she couldn’t believe what just happened. I released her neck but kept hold of her hand, guiding it downward.
"I’ve got your good boy right here." I teased, my voice low as I placed her hand over the hard bulge in my sweatpants.
She looked so flustered, so completely off her game.
And damn it, she was tempting.
Too tempting.

Chapter: Pizza ManJustin POV The mansion was quiet when I walked in, just the sound of my own footsteps echoing through the foyer. I was heading toward the stairs when I caught the sound of laughter coming from the living room. I stopped, then stepped back, making my way toward the source. Isabella was on the couch with the twins—David and Daniel—helping them with what looked like a school project. The coffee table was a mess of scraps of paper, glue sticks and markers. I was about to turn and leave when Daniel’s voice cut through the room. "Cousin Justin, you’re back from work!" I froze. Both boys looked up at me, wide-eyed and expectant. I gave a small nod, but my attention drifted to Isabella. Her smile faded the moment our eyes met. She looked at me for half a second before dropping her gaze back to the paper she was cutting with a pair of scissors. David suddenly spoke up. "Hey, did you hear about our birthday party?" I scratched the back of my head, about to answer, but Daniel beat

Chapter: No ClueJustin’s POV The sharp buzz of my six o’clock alarm pulled me from sleep. I exhaled heavily, stretching my arms over my head before rolling my shoulders. Sleeping on the damn sofa wasn’t doing me any favors—my back felt stiff as hell. I sat up, rubbing the back of my neck as I glanced toward the bed. It was empty. The sheets were neatly spread, like she hadn’t even slept in it. My brows drew together as I stood, rolling out the tension in my shoulders before heading toward the bathroom door. I knocked. No answer. Pushing the door open slightly, I peeked inside. Empty. With a sigh, I turned toward the closet. A weird sense of relief settled in my chest when I saw her clothes still there. At least she hadn’t packed up and left. I shook my head at the thought, grabbing a suit and heading towards the bathroom. Moments later, I was adjusting my tie in the mirror when I heard the door open. Isabella walked in, carrying a coffee bottle and a small lunch container. She placed

Chapter: A MessIsabella POVI opened my mouth to respond, but Justin shook his head, cutting me off."Let me explain, okay?" His eyes locked onto mine and for the first time, I saw something unfamiliar—vulnerability. "Just...listen, please."That one word "please" took me by surprise. Justin Martínez never asked; he commanded. Hearing it from him and in that tone, softened something inside me, in a way I wasn't prepared for. I crossed my arms tightly beneath my chest, nodding reluctantly. He exhaled deeply, his hands dropping to his sides as he sat back on his heels. For a moment, he stayed quiet, as if trying to gather his thoughts."Getting married was the only way for me to regain access to my accounts," He began, his voice low. "The bank that holds my wealth, assets, inheritance...it's all tied to a contract my parents signed decades ago."I frowned, confusion knitting my brow.He dragged a hand through his hair, before he continued.

Once we reached the front door, I turned to face them.My mom adjusted her coat and she let out a quiet sigh. "Well, that was...an interesting evening.""I'm sorry about everything. They can be...intense." I glanced at her and rolled my eyes slightly, trying to lighten the mood."As long as you're all right, Bella." My mom exhaled, her hand reaching up to caress my cheek. I managed a small smile, holding her hand briefly as I glanced between her and my father. "I'm fine. Are you?" My father's expression hardened slightly, but he nodded. "We've endured worse, but remember, this is just part of the contract. It will be all over soon and you will be unburdened by this, just stay focused, Bella."My jaw tightened and I nodded, though the reminder hit like a cold splash of water.

"Our marriage has nothing to do with my employees. Whether or not Mr. Knight works at my company, it’s none of anyone’s business who I choose to marry." I glanced at Justin, pressing my lips together to keep my emotions in check. His subtle support reminded me to stay composed. I knew I had to maintain control before I let it get the better of me and risk saying something I shouldn't—especially about the marriage contract. Before Mr. Tom could respond, Harden chimed in.

My parents smiled faintly in response, their tension easing slightly.Mr. Tom raised his hands in defense, shaking his head. "No, no. I think you’ve all misunderstood me."

He tilted his head, his calm delivery making the threat all the more unsettling. "Do you understand me?"
His words weren’t loud, but they didn’t need to be. His gaze bore into mine, daring me to defy him.
"Yes." I swallowed hard, nodding slightly, my voice betraying me with its lack of strength.
"Good girl." He watched me with a pleased, almost smug expression.
It seemed like a terrible idea, but something about his overconfidence pushed me to challenge him.
"But, what makes you think I’ll just stay here, waiting for you to show up whenever you feel like it?" I ventured, pushing my luck as we stared at each other.
"Consider it my way of repaying you after everything you’ve done."
I blinked, taken aback and confused.
"Repaying me?" The words slipped out before I could stop them, as my fingers caressed the spot where his hand had been.
His laughter was soft, almost indulgent, as if my naivety amused him.

The future queen of this empire when Raphaël becomes the new King, ma dame."I froze, the carton hovering above the glass."Are you even sure you have what it takes to be his wife? The mother of his unborn children?"I looked up, slowly and he gave me a crooked smile."Being polite and cuddly isn’t going to cut it when you’re marrying a devil from Marseille." He said, stepping slow around the counter. "He’s back home now. Back where all his demons and ghosts lie. Back where his family always wanted him.

A chef emerged from the side doors with trays of food while two maids set the table with cutlery and napkins. It all felt…excessive. Once they left, Mrs. Clara gestured delicately with her fingers.
