A Marriage of Convenience Ch23 - Is this for husband?
Grace went shopping alone. She was a regular at all the high-end boutiques—not just because half her wardrobe and leather goods came from her own family’s brand, but also because she liked to keep an eye on the trends and designs other labels were pushing.Most brands sent her seasonal catalogs ahead of time, so she didn’t even need to try anything on herself. She had a group of models with similar measurements come to her house regularly. Stylists would prep full looks, and the models would walk in front of her while she relaxed with tea in hand, casually pointing out what she liked. Once she nodded at a look, her assistant noted it down. A few days later, the items would be delivered straight to her home.But sometimes, shopping in person was just for fun.She wandered aimlessly through the boutique. The store manager personally attended to her, keeping a polite distance while staying ready.Grace reached for something in the display case, though her thoughts were clearly miles awa
A Marriage of Convenience Ch22 - That little devil
Grace had been a mess all night. After barely sleeping, she decided to skip the studio today. She’d just turned in a design and finalized the 3D-printed wax model. With the proportions confirmed, all that was left was for the artisans to cast the piece based on her blueprint.She fumbled for the remote and cracked open the curtains. The sky was gray and heavy—not too bright. Then she grabbed her phone, spotting several missed calls—from Dana.OH, PERFECT. That little devil didn’t even wait for Grace to call her out, she came knocking first.Dana had left her a string of texts, accusing her of having no loyalty—saying she should’ve stopped Alex from taking her away so easily.Grace’s forehead instantly sprouted three metaphorical black lines.Still wrapped in her blanket like a human croissant, she called back. Dana picked up immediately, like she’d been sitting by the phone all morning waiting.“GRACE! You’re the worst friend ever!”Seriously? She was mad that everyone in the club had
A Marriage of Convenience Ch21 - A kiss
Raphael’s eyes lingered on the flush rising on her cheeks—so stunning it almost hurt to look at. His gaze darkened, and in the next second, his grip tightened, yanking her toward him. The sliver of distance between them vanished in an instant.Grace hadn’t even recovered from the shock of touching his abs before she found herself pulled into his chest. Warm skin, hard muscle—everything was too much, too close. Her wide eyes stared up, hands instinctively clutching his.His chest vibrated with a low chuckle.One of his hands came up to rest lightly on her neck, his palm warm against the rapid pulse beneath her skin. With a gentle tilt, he guided her chin up. Then he leaned down—his nose brushing hers.The soft lighting cast shadows across his sharp features. His eyes were dark. Deep. Like she might fall straight into them.Grace froze, breath caught.Their lips were just a breath apart.“You like guys like that?” Raphael asked, voice calm. Too calm. As if he was holding something back.
A Marriage of Convenience Ch20 - Forgot husband
The man walked over, clad in a perfectly tailored suit, shoes polished to a mirror shine—an utter gentleman who stood in stark contrast to the shirtless, gyrating men onstage. And just like that, Grace realized why those dancers hadn’t moved her at all: she stared at Raphael’s ridiculously handsome face every day.With his commanding presence, Raphael strode straight to her booth and locked eyes with her, unflinching. The people between them instinctively stepped aside, leaving no obstacles.Whispers erupted around her. “Her husband is insanely hot.” “If I had a man like that, I’d never let him out of my sight.” “Every damn night.”All those shameless remarks filtered right into Grace’s ears, turning her cheeks crimson.One of her friends leaned in and whispered, “Your husband looks kinda pissed. Good luck.”There was concern—and a touch of sympathy—in her voice.Grace’s heart flipped. How did Raphael even know she was here? Did someone spot Dana and tip off Alex? And then Alex tol

Raphael didn’t know what to make of it. He usually kept his phone on silent during work or events. Watching Alex’s hurried exit, he recalled the man’s last words—subtle, but loaded.He picked up his phone. Damien had sent him a string of messages. His brother always texted him nonsense, so at first, he didn’t think much of it. He figured maybe he’d misunderstood Alex… until he saw the bold words staring back at him:"Bro! Emergency! If you don’t show up now, your wife’s gonna get snatched!" "Family comes first, man!" "Bro, you're about to get played hard!"...along with a dark, blurry photo.Raphael frowned and turned the brightness all the way up, trying to make out what he was looking at. The picture was a mess of flashy, dim club lights—but then he spotted it: a row of shirtless young men, all ripped and glistening. Judging from their eyes, they were performing for a group of girls sitting just a few feet away.And right in the center of them—was her. That smile. Those bright, gl
A Marriage of Convenience Ch18 - Good show
Near the end of the workday, Grace’s phone buzzed with a message."Whatcha up to?""There's a get-together tonight, wanna come? Just a few of us girls."Well, well. Dana was calling her out—publicly, no less—tagging her in their group chat with a few mutual friends.Grace usually showed up at these kinds of things. Partly to kill time, partly to scope out what the other rich girls were wearing lately—always good for design inspo. But lately, her creativity was flowing, and she had zero interest in a night of overpriced drinks and shallow gossip."Nah, my hubby’s waiting for me at home," Grace replied."DON’T PLAY DUMB. Your hubby and my hubby are both at the same cocktail thing tonight."Grace stared at the message, wanting to slap Dana through the screen. She jabbed her reply back onto the keyboard:"Ugh, I just want him to see me the moment he walks through the door, y’know?""Ew. Gross. I just got chills," Dana shot back. "Anyway, something real interesting’s gonna go down tonight.
