Grace didn’t even need to turn around. She could tell who it was from the very first syllable—Dana. Her lifelong rival.
They’d been competing since they were kids, always trying to outdo each other. On the surface, they looked like friends, but every little thing between them was a contest.
It only hit Grace then—of course. Dana had married into the Whitmore family. They were the ones hosting this private champagne gala. She vaguely remembered receiving an invite for her and Raphael. Exclusive to financiers, top artists, royals, and other VIPs… no wonder the building had been locked up tighter than a vault.

A Marriage of Convenience Ch50 - Money can’t buy
Late February in Saint-Tropez was still off-season. The sea breeze carried a lingering chill from winter’s end, but that did nothing to dull the deep blue of the water or the lively scene of yachts docked in the harbor.On one yacht that had just set out from shore, a group of socialites lounged under the sun, sipping champagne and letting the sea air tousle their hair—all women, no men.Grace leaned against the railing, staring blankly at the endless blue. Dana approached, two flutes of champagne in hand, one of them still cool from the ice. She nudged Grace’s arm lightly with the glass. “Here.”It had only been a few days since their tense exchange in Berlin—“not exactly a friendly goodbye”—but somehow, they were already back to acting like nothin
A Marriage of Convenience Ch49 - It’s just right
The meal, which started off a bit stiff, gradually loosened up. Even the usually serious Raphael found himself smiling more often. Eventually, Gavin and Raphael slipped into a discussion about business financing—until Grace shot them both a sharp look, clearly warning them not to talk shop.With business off the table, Gavin wasn’t sure what else to talk to Raphael about. Thankfully, Max stepped in to steer the conversation. He asked Grace about the details of her wedding, hoping to get some inspiration for theirs.The wedding had been nearly two years ago, and most of it was a blur to Grace now. She only vaguely remembered it taking place at a private estate on the Côte d'Azur, with the whole venue locked down. The guest list was filled with t
A Marriage of Convenience Ch48 - A little more
Grace drifted in and out of sleep, unsure how long she’d been out. Someone was gently tapping her shoulder, murmuring something close to her ear. She waved her hand lazily and mumbled, “Don’t wake me… I’m so tired.”A low, amused chuckle followed, and she felt a soft kiss land on her cheek. That familiar voice again, warm and teasing, “Didn’t you have lunch plans at twelve?”Lunch? She tugged the blanket over her head. “Not hungry.”A few seconds passed before her brain finally clicked into gear. She sat up abruptly, eyes darting around the room. Oh right—she was still in Berlin. And today she was supposed to have lunch with Gavin and his fiancé.She let out a breath, feeling a
A Marriage of Convenience Ch47 - Bad boy
The staff came to clear away the dishes, and Raphael asked the driver to bring his luggage up from the car. He showered in the other bathroom, returned, and still, Grace hadn’t come out.As he passed the bathroom door, he could hear faint rustling inside. Once he was sure she was fine, he picked up his tablet to review the key points from the afternoon meeting. Just three pages, but back in the car, his mind hadn’t taken in a word. Now was the time to catch up.Fifteen minutes later, he was done.Click. The door opened.Raphael lowered his gaze, sipping his chilled white wine, but no sign of her appeared. He set the glass down and walked over. Grace was still in the bathroom, the door ajar. H
A Marriage of Convenience Ch46 - Having dessert
Grace sat there, right in his lap, dazed but not trying to get away. Her back rested against his chest, and she could feel the steady, powerful beat of his heart.Raphael leaned in close, his warm breath brushing her ear. He reached for the crème brûlée, pulling it toward them. As he moved, his cheek brushed her hair, grazing her ear, sending a shiver down her spine.She suddenly felt like she was curled up next to a resting lion—calm for now, but radiating heat, coiled strength just beneath the surface.He could snap at any moment, yet here he was, wrapped around her, doing exactly as she asked. She wanted him to feed her, and without a word, he dipped the silver spoon into the dessert, cracking the caramel layer, scooping up a bite, and brought it to her lips.
A Marriage of Convenience Ch45 - Kiss me properly
Grace fell into his arms without warning. His body was warm, carrying that clean, crisp scent she had come to know. His hand pressed gently against her back, wrapping around her waist, holding her tight—like he wanted to melt her into him.She didn’t resist. There was something about the way he held her, the flood of security it brought, though her heart was thudding so fast it might burst.“What’s with you all of a sudden?” she asked, breathless.Raphael didn’t answer right away. He tilted his head slightly, his hand sliding up to the nape of her neck—firm, but gentle—before pressing a kiss to her temple.It was a kiss filled with tenderness, with care, with something almost cautious.
