"Notorious Bachelor Lucas Hart, 29, proposes to his first love and childhood sweetheart, Natalia Rossi!"
My heart broke as I saw the picture of Lucas proposing to Natalia on one knee, the same ring I found in his jacket pocket, in the photo being slid onto her finger. The camera zoomed in on Natalia’s face and a gasp escaped my lips. It was like staring at myself, but a thinner, sicklier version of me.
I picked up my phone and dialed a number I hadn’t called in three years.
"Bianca," My father’s voice answered, "To what do I owe this sudden call?"
"Dad," I said, "I accept. I will come back home for the arranged marriage and take back my inheritance."
***
Bianca Salvatore, heiress of the Salvatore empire ran away from home, trying to escape the marriage arranged by her father. She met Lucas who she dated for three years, until his first love returned. He never knew about her true identity, and always shamed her for being poor. He heartlessly announced that he would get married to his first love, then make Bianca his side piece.
Bianca didn’t want that life for herself, so she agreed to her father’s arranged marriage and took her inheritance. From being known as a poor pauper, to a famous billionaire heiress.
Now her ex is on his knees, begging for a second chance. Will Bianca risk her heart again for the man who shattered it, or will she choose the powerful husband who sees her true worth?

Chapter: Chapter 108B I A N C AI arrived at my office a short time later, feeling more energized and confident than I had been in a long time. I greeted the receptionist and headed up to my floor. I was anxious to get to the meeting room and go through the pitch one last time before Julian arrived.When I got there, my assistant, Sophia was waiting for me. She had organized all the materials that I'd need and I quickly went through them, making sure I had all my facts and numbers straight.As I worked, I thought about what I was going to say to Julian. I knew I needed to show him why his company should be the one working with the Salvatore Enterprises, not the other way around.I had been researching the market and there was nothing like what we had to offer on the market yet. With the right distribution and marketing strategies, we could become the premier luxury brand in Europe.There was a knock on the door and Sophia stepped in, followed by Julian."Mr. Vance is here," she said, a smile on her lips.

Chapter: Chapter 107B I A N C AThe next morning, I woke up to the smell of coffee and bacon. I opened my eyes and found Damian's side of the bed empty.I got up and went downstairs. He was in the kitchen, standing at the stove, shirtless and wearing a pair of sweatpants that hung low on his hips. He looked good."Morning," he said, turning to look at me. "I'm making breakfast.""I can see that," I said, walking up to him and wrapping my arms around his waist from behind. "It smells amazing.""I wanted to make it up to you," he said, covering my hands with his. "For last night.""You don't have to make it up to me," I said, resting my cheek against his back. "We were both at fault. I'm just glad we're okay.""We are," he said, turning around in my arms to face me. "More than okay."He leaned down and kissed me, making my toes curl. When he pulled away, I was breathless."Breakfast is almost ready," he said, a smirk playing on his lips. "Why don't you go set the table?""Okay," I said, reluctantly letting

Chapter: Chapter 106D A M I A N My car was in full speed limit. I didn't know where I was going, I just drove. I needed to clear my head. To get away from her. From the fight. From the suffocating feeling of her not trusting me. I ended up at a bar, a dimly lit place with a couple of people scattered around. I took a seat at the counter and ordered a whiskey. The alcohol burned as it went down, but it didn't dull the anger. Or the hurt. She didn't trust me. After everything we had been through, she still didn't trust me to know what was best for her. But was I overreacting? Was I wrong to think Vance wanted more than just a business deal? I couldn't shake the feeling I had about him. I had looked him up. He had quite the reputation of being a player. He was known for being ruthless in the boardroom and the bedroom. He was exactly the kind of man I used to be. And that scared me. It scared me because I knew what he was capable of. I knew the lengths he would go to get what he wanted. And what he wan

Chapter: Chapter 105B I A N C AThe car ride home was silent. Damian drove with his white knuckled grip on the steering wheel. He was staring straight ahead, the muscle in his jaw ticking. I wanted to say something, to break the suffocating silence, but I couldn't find the words. I was still angry, and I knew that anything I said would only make things worse.We pulled into the driveway and he killed the engine. He got out of the car and walked to the front door, not even bothering to wait for me.I followed him inside. He had ruined what was supposed to be a good day. I had a successful day at work. I came up with an amazing idea for my company, and I was excited about the potential partnership with Sterling Tech. But he had to go and ruin it with his jealousy and paranoia.I watched him as he stood in the living room, his back to me. He looked so tense and angry. I wanted to go to him, to wrap my arms around him and tell him that everything was going to be okay. But I couldn't. Not yet.I dropped my pu

Chapter: Chapter 104B I A N C AI was finishing up some paperwork when I heard a soft knock on my office door."Come in," I said, not looking up from my computer.The door opened and closed quietly. I looked up, expecting to see Sophia, but instead I saw Damian standing there, leaning against the doorframe with a smug look on his face."Damian," I said, my heart doing a little flip. "What are you doing here? I thought you had a meeting.""I did," he said, pushing himself off the doorframe and walking towards my desk. "It ended early. I thought I'd surprise you.""You certainly did," I said, a smile spreading across my face. "I was just about to clock out. It’s been a hectic day.""I know, and that’s why I decided to come pick you up. But first, come sit let me give you a foot massage."Before I could protest, Damian was already moving me to the couch in my office and kneeling in front of me, taking my high heels off."Damian, you don't have to—" I started, but he cut me off."I want to," he said, looking

They were excited about the new direction for the company, and we spent the rest of the meeting brainstorming ideas for the new campaign.By the time I was done, it was almost 2. I grabbed my purse and headed to the restaurant where I was meeting my mother.The restaurant was a chic little bistro downtown, one of my mom's favorite spots. I found her sitting at a table by the window, a glass of white wine in front of her."Bianca, darling," she said, getting up to kiss me on the cheek. "You're late.""I know, I'm sorry," I said, sitting down. "Work was crazy.""I'm sure it was," she said, her tone a little disapproving. "You're working too much, my dear. You need to learn to relax. Especially now that you're a married woman."I bristled at her comment. I knew she meant well, but I couldn't help but feel like she was criticizing me."I'm fine, Mom," I said, trying to keep my voice calm. "I enjoy my work.""I know you
