Beautiful But Unlucky
Synopsis
"Marry me." His voice calm and steady as if he just told me to get him a drink
"What?" I asked, my mind spinning faster than ever
He chuckled, his voice as magnetic as ever, as if he wanted to pull my soul and he was... Almost.
"What better way to piss dear father off than to marry a divorced lady."
"We can't date, remember the rules..."
“You're the one who needs to remember. I set the rules.”
§§§§
Silvia Simpson was the perfect trophy wife—until she walked away from her cheating husband, a ruined career, and a life that never felt like hers. Stripped of everything, she crashes into the one man who turns her world into more chaos: Calvin Riego—sinfully rich, dangerously charming, and off-limits in every way.
One reckless night at King’s Palace ignites a chemistry too intense to forget. But when Calvin offers her a modeling comeback—and a fake relationship to save them both from scandal—Silvia realizes she might be playing a game she can’t control. Especially when the deal comes with a secret clause: if Silvia can resist Calvin's advances, she gets a 25% stake in his Multi-million dollar company
But Calvin never plays fair. And Silvia? She’s done being anyone’s pawn.
In a world of glittering lies, twisted loyalties, and slow-burning passion, someone’s bound to get burned.

Chapter: Morning surprise Silvia’s POV---My body still hummed from last night.The way Calvin had touched me - no, claimed me - was burned into every inch of my skin. His mouth, his hands, his voice, all of it still lived inside my bones like an echo I couldn’t shake.And I didn’t want to.I sat up, wrapped the robe tighter around me, and padded barefoot toward the scent.Elizabeth was at the kitchen island, pouring champagne into two tall glasses like it was her birthday. Her silk robe was barely tied, her smile stretched wide and real.“You’re up,” she said, eyes glittering. “Finally.”I raised a brow. “And you’re drinking before noon?”She slid a glass toward me. “We’re celebrating.”I tilted my head, reaching for it. “What exactly are we toasting?”Elizabeth held up her phone like a trophy. “Your divorce. It’s official.”I froze mid-sip.“What?”She nodded, grinning. “The final signature came through this morning. The paperwork’s done. Philip is officially out of your life.”I stared at her, stunned. The

Chapter: Paparazzo Calvin’s POV---The morning light had barely breached the edges of the skyline when my phone exploded on the marble nightstand. Not one call - four, back to back. The kind that signaled crisis.I blinked against the sharp throb behind my eyes and sat up slowly, bare chest still rising with the rhythm of a sleep I’d only barely fallen into. My slacks were still on. I hadn’t even made it to bed properly.Not after her.The scent of her still clung to me. Faint vanilla and something darker. Earthy. Rich. Her body had trembled around my fingers. Her moans still echoed in my ears.Silvia.God, her name tasted like something I wasn’t supposed to want - and wanted anyway.I swiped my phone off the table, exhaling through my nose. I should have known this was coming.Damon Riego – Incoming Call.Hell.I stared at the screen for two full seconds, then answered with a slow, deliberate drag of breath.“Calvin - ”The voice roared before I could speak. A jagged bellow, all fury and patriarchal p

Chapter: Night of the star ballSilvia’s POV---The towering glass doors of Deva Entertainment loomed ahead. My heels clicked softly against the polished marble floor, echoing with every step I took - sharp, confident, louder than the thoughts whispering in my head.Today wasn’t about second-guessing.It was about becoming.As I walked past the mirrored wall toward the elevator, I caught a flicker in my peripheral vision. A shadow. Tall, still, watching.I turned.Nothing.The hallway was empty, sterile and silent.I shook my head. Probably a reflection. Or my nerves playing tricks.I pressed the elevator button and exhaled slowly, willing the tension to bleed from my spine. By the time the doors opened, I’d tucked the ghost of the shadow deep behind my composure.---Calvin’s office was lit in moody gold, floor-to-ceiling windows soaking up the late afternoon haze. He stood near the far side of the room, back turned, his charcoal suit jacket off, shirt sleeves rolled to his forearms as he poured himself a glass of

Chapter: Say YesAnora sipped her mimosa like a queen watching a royal scandal unfold. Charlotte sat to my right, leaning on her elbow, sunglasses perched on her head, while Sarah absently stirred honey into her chamomile tea, her soft eyes flitting between the group.And me?I sat quietly in the middle of it all, the folder still vivid in my mind even though it wasn’t in my hands anymore.“You’ve got to say yes,” Charlotte said bluntly, stabbing her salad like it had personally offended her. “It’s Herald. Global. Once-in-a-lifetime.”Anora nodded, swirling the liquid in her flute. “And let’s be honest - no one could have carried that shoot like you did. Not even Julien in her pre-filler era.”Sarah smiled sweetly. “You have something few of us have. It’s not just beauty. The camera sees it.”I bit my lip, fingers grazing the edge of my linen napkin. “It’s just… fast. Everything’s happening fast. I’m still catching my breath.”“Silvia,” Anora said gently, “you got to this point by your hardwork and ta

Chapter: prying secretsThe folder pressed against my chest like it held not just a contract - but the weight of my rebirth. I stepped out of Calvin’s office, breath shallow, heart a hurricane behind my ribs.The door clicked shut behind me, but his words echoed louder than ever.“I didn’t defend you today as your employer”.God.The way his voice grew huskier, like he was about to lose control - like a beast hounding his territory. If I had stayed a second more, my legs would have turned to mush.He's your boss Silvia, no shenanigans. Your heart can't be doing flips just because he cares for you in a way no one else does, or the way he stares at you like…No, no, noThe hallway outside was emptier now. The crowd had dispersed. Only Reynold remained, leaning casually against the opposite wall, arms crossed, his sharp suit a perfect contrast to the stormy expression on his face.“Hey,” he said, straightening the moment he saw me. “You okay?”I gave him a half-smile. “Depends on your definition.” My legs were

Chapter: DecisionsThe room hadn’t breathed since Calvin said my name.“Silvia Moretti,”And just like that, my world shifted.I sat there, still reeling, every nerve in my body lighting up, pulsing with disbelief and something hotter… sharper… something like pride. But I couldn’t absorb it fast enough, couldn’t even feel the moment, because the hush that followed the announcement broke in an instant.With her voice.Julien.Of course.Her laugh cracked like ice splitting glass. “Well, of course she got the spot,” she said, rising to her feet, arms crossed and venom laced into every syllable. “It’s amazing what happens when you sleep with the right people.”The words were bullets. Not subtle. Not veiled.The entire room gasped like a synchronized choir of the shocked and the stunned.For a second, I couldn’t move.Then, slowly, I stood.A part of me wanted to ignore her, she was just a wounded animal, nothing more. But then another part of me wanted to see whether my Devant heels could fit down her thro
