NORA

Every head in the room whips around. Marcellus's expression darkens with icy annoyance. Someone dared to interrupt his perfectly orchestrated trap.

A familiar voice echoes through the stunned silence like a battle cry.

"ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK NOT!"

Valentina, my chaotic best friend who is fresh off a flight from Paris by the looks of her oversized sunglasses and designer travel outfit, storms down the aisle like she's walking a runway.

Photographers are having the time of their lives.

  • 100 Days With My Nemesis   ~010~ UNDENIABLE CURRENTS

    NORA I level my deadliest glare across the studio. Tiffany glares right back. She's spent the last twenty minutes introducing herself to every breathing soul in the building—twice—like she's running for mayor of Reality TV.She’s tall, auburn, stunning, and currently staring at me like I murdered her favorite houseplant.The Taste of Tomorrow offices are pure chaos. The producers are sprinting with clipboards, the assistants juggling coffee and the signing of contracts. And right in the middle of it all is me. The freshly married walking disaster."I still don't understand why she's here," Tiffany announces loudly enough for the entire floor to hear.I slowly lift my gaze from my coffee.A producer winces. Someone else suddenly discovers that the carpet is fascinating.Tiffany crosses her arms, flipping her hair. "Let's be real. No one would care about her if she hadn't trapped Marcellus Gregory."The room goes pin-drop silent.My smile blooms, full of teeth."Interesting," I pu

  • 100 Days With My Nemesis   ~009~ RECONFIGURED SETTINGS

    MARCELLUS For a long moment, silence crackles over the line, the tightness in my chest worsening. "Who is Rachel Gregory to you?" Nora demands again, her voice rising. I exhale slowly, staring out at the glittering city lights beyond the window. "You should stop digging, little wolf." "No," she spits. Of course she won't. My stubborn wife never does what she's told. I close my eyes briefly, already feeling the pull of her voice low in my stomach. "Nora—" "No," she snaps, her voice hardening like steel. "You don't get to drop bombs on my family and then play mysterious. Tell me the fucking truth." The silence stretches for a second or two, charged with pure tension. The words slip out before I can hold them back. "She was my mother." Her sharp inhale travels straight down my spine. "Your mother?" she whispers, utterly stunned. I let out a low, humorless laugh. "Adoptive mother." She's quiet again, obviously processing my statement. "I told you," I mutter. "I'm

  • 100 Days With My Nemesis   ~008~ CRACKS IN HIS ARMOR

    MARCELLUS The silence that hovers after I mention my mother is exquisite. Hayden Wolfe looks like I've just buried a knife between his ribs and twisted it slowly. Color drains from his face, and then it floods back with raw fury. It's not nearly satisfying.I've rehearsed this moment for years. Fantasized about feeding him even a fraction of the ruin he left behind.Instead, all I feel is bone-deep exhaustion."Hayden," my mother-in-law whispers, her voice trembling.No one moves. The air is thick enough to chew on.Across the table, Nora's father stares at me. Part of me hopes he'd try to fight me."Get out," he says, his voice like ice."Honey—" his wife starts."I said get out.”I push my chair back, calmly. "With pleasure."Nora's hand shoots out, her fingers wrapping around my sleeve. "What the hell was that?" she hisses, her eyes blazing up at me.I glance down at her grip. My wife. The words settle in my chest. She's mine now. Irrevocably.The thought sends a dark, po

Valentina, my chaotic best friend who is fresh off a flight from Paris by the looks of her oversized sunglasses and designer travel outfit, storms down the aisle like she's walking a runway. Photographers are having the time of their lives. The priest looks like he's questioning everything. Val points a perfectly manicured finger straight at Marcellus. "THAT ONE. You are not marrying that psychopath!" "Val?!" I choke out, laughing. Sebastian appears behind her. He told her. It's clear he did. Val reaches the altar in record time and grabs my shoulders, her hazel eyes wild with concern. "Blink twice if you're being held hostage, babe." "I'm not being held hostage," I whisper, fighting a ridiculous smile. She doesn't miss a

  • 100 Days With My Nemesis   ~006~ MIDDLE FINGER UP

    NORA The dress fits like it was sewn onto my body by some sadistic fairy godmother who knows exactly what makes my curves look lethal. Soft lace hugs my waist before flowing into a dramatic but manageable train. The white sneakers peeking out underneath are the most ridiculous and somehow perfect touch. Comfortable and rebellious. Very... Me. I fucking love it. I'm never telling that demon, though. My phone buzzes on the dresser. [Marcellus: Ceremony in an hour. Address attached. Don't be late, wife. I already sent a car.] I glare at the message, but there's no time to lose my shit. Mum's already called me down twice. I take a deep breath, smooth my hands down the dress, and head downstairs. The moment I get there, Mum's face lights up. "Oh, Nora..." She presses a hand to her chest, her eyes misty. "You look absolutely stunning, darling. That dress is perfect on you. Where on earth did you get it?" Before I can answer, Sebastian rises. He's here with his mother and

  • 100 Days With My Nemesis   ~005~ TRICK OR TREATS

    NORA I finally collapse onto my bed, the familiar scent of my childhood room doing nothing to calm the storm in my head. Two Tylenol and a glass of water later, and my skull is still spinning like a broken carousel. I refuse to think about the fact that I might or might not be legally married to the bastard who might or might not be my uncle.I pull the covers up to my chin, praying for oblivion, when a knock sounds on the door.I groan loudly. "Go away, Jordan."He knocks again. Persistent little shit.With all the grace of a hungover zombie, I drag myself out of bed and yank the door open. My brother stands there, holding a massive white box tied with a silky ribbon."Delivery came for you," he says, his eyebrows raised. "It's heavy as hell. Some fancy courier dropped it off. Mum's already asking questions."I take the box without a word and shut the door in his face. My hands tremble as I carry it to the bed and tear it open.Inside lies the most beautiful wedding dress I'
