LOGINGabrielle ran from her wedding to Jared… and woke up wearing Damon’s ring. He’s cold, wealthy, and dangerously irresistible — a man who swore he couldn’t feel anything. Until her. She’s the runaway bride he turned into his wife. Now she’s trapped in his penthouse wearing his shirt, his ring… and maybe, just maybe, teaching him how to feel again.

I swirled around in my wedding dress with a big smile on my face. I was finally getting married to the love of my life, and life couldn’t be any better. We had met a year ago and he made me the happiest woman alive the night he proposed to me. “Wow, that’s the most beautiful wedding dress I’ve laid my eyes on, Gabrielle,” Emily, my identical twin sister cooed, breaking into my thoughts. I smiled at her. “Thank you, Emily. This feels like a dream. I can’t believe this is my life now.” “Jared doesn’t deserve you, sister,” she said. “Look how beautiful you are. No man deserves this.” I laughed. “Thanks, Emily. You’re the best sister a girl could ask for. You know that right?” Emily and I grew up with our single father who refused to remarry after our mother died during childbirth. Our father was the best man in the world and made sure we got the best of everything growing up. Now after getting our degrees at the age of twenty-three, I was finally getting married. I sighed. “I wish I could share this day with you, sister.” “Forget about me,” she said and wrapped her arms around me from behind while we held each other’s gaze in the mirror. “Today is all about you.” Her phone pinged on the dresser and my eyes caught the message. “Meet me before the wedding. I got you something sexy,” the message read by a contact saved as LOML. Emily snatched her phone but it was too late. I already saw it. “Oh my goodness!” I exclaimed. “Why didn’t you tell me you had a boyfriend?” Her face turned beet red. “We just started seeing each other and I was waiting until after you get married. The spotlight is yours, sister.” I held her hands. “You know I’ve always shared everything with you.” She nodded. “I know but I wanted today to be all about you, okay? So we will talk about this later. Your husband-to-be is already waiting for you on the aisle.” “And so is yours,” I winked at her as I pushed her out of the room. “Go to him now because I want you back before the wedding starts.” She laughed as she walked out. I picked up my phone and texted Jared, my fiancé but he wasn’t responding. He was still getting ready for the wedding. After waiting for ten minutes, I decided to pay him and the groomsmen a visit. The hallway outside my suite smelled faintly of roses and fresh linen. Every step sent my heart fluttering faster. I was getting married. MARRIED! I could already picture Jared in his tux. His sharp jawline, messy brown hair, and that boyish smile that made me fall in love with him in the first place. He wasn’t perfect, but he was mine. As I approached the lounge, the sound of muffled laughter drifted through the door. I grinned and gently pushed the door open without knocking. “Babe?” My smile faltered as I stepped in. The sound of laughter was coming from the TV. “Jared?” I called out. There was still no response. The hotel room looked like someone had been there but aside from that, there was no sign of the man I was marrying in less than an hour. I decided to check the bathroom. I wished I hadn’t. Because my jaw fell at the sight of Jared with my twin sister in the shower. She was wearing a black lace lingerie and he was plunging into her from behind while she leaned against the wall. “Oh, yes….” she moaned. “Jared…” The shower was turned on the water was running down on them as they fucked. I knew I should have walked away, maybe even run but I couldn’t. My legs were frozen in place. So her LOML was my LOML? “You like that?” he asked. “Yes… Jared. More…” my twin screamed. My heart was torn to shreds. I wanted to scream but it felt like my throat was on fire. “Tell me I’m better than Gabrielle,” Emily moaned as he thrust into her slowly. “You’re way better than her love,” Jared said, kissing her neck. “All I want is her inheritance.” “Our plan was smart baby,” she said, grinding on his cock. “But now, I want you to fuck me harder.” My eyes teared up as I watched him pound into her and kiss her so affectionately. Yes, I was still a virgin but that’s because Jared and I decided to wait until our wedding night. I was willing to share everything with my twin sister, but not him. I pulled out my phone and recorded a video of them because I knew Father wouldn’t believe me without proof. Then I backed up, trying to steady myself but I couldn’t. I ran out of the hotel, the staff turning to me with a confused expression on their faces but I didn’t care. I got into my car and drove out of the premises. * * * * “So, then I walked into the bathroom and caught them fucking,” I said, pausing briefly to take another shot. “Top me up, please.” The bartender stared at me, shock written all over his face. I had just spent the last hour taking shots after shots at a bar far from the heart of town. My phone was ringing nonstop so I picked it up and turned it off. The bartender came back with another six rounds of shots. “Ma’am, you’ve been drinking for almost two hours now. I won’t serve you anymore after this.” “Shut the fuck up, okay?” I snapped. “After what I just told you I can drink the whole goddamn bar if I please.” The bartender's expression turned into pity and it made me feel even worse. “Hey! Don’t look at me like that!” I snapped again. “I’m not pathetic.” Eyes were beginning to turn to the hysterical woman in a wedding dress but I didn’t care. The other bartender walked up to us. “Ma’am, please bring it down. Or we’d be forced to escort you out of the premises,” he said. “How dare you?” I spat. “Do you know who I am? I can fucking buy this pathetic bar.” The first bartender spoke. “She’s had a rough day.” “So have we,” the second one said, beckoning at security. “Suck it up or leave.” The bouncer got closer. “Is there a problem here?” “Please escort this lady out. We have VVIPs here tonight and she’s causing a ruckus,” the second bartender spoke up. “Come with me, ma’am,” the bouncer said. I frowned at him. “No and you can’t make me so don’t bother.” He held my arm. “Ma’am it’s within my job to get rid of you and by force if I have to.” “Get your hands away from the lady,” a voice said behind us. We turned and my eyes fell on the most good-looking man I’d ever seen in my life.GABRIELLE’S POV I sat on the couch, watching the doctor we called treat Rhys injury. Fiorella sat beside him, her arms folded across her chest. The room was so silent you could hear a pin drop. The doctor closed the kit and handed Rhys some drugs “It’s not deep, just a surface wound. If you change the bandage on time, keep it clean, and take your medication, it should heal in no time.” Rhys grumbled an inaudible response, and the doctor gave him a nod, then picked up his belongings to walk out. The door closed behind him softly but it did nothing to break the comfortable silence. I took one look at Rhys and swallowed, feeling guilt nudge in my throat and anticipating Damon’s arrival. Fiorella cleared her throat. “Does anyone want tea?” I shook my head in a no. Rhys didn’t respond. The room fell into an uncomfortable silence again. I took a deep breath. “I’m sorry for hurting you. I had no idea you were Damon’s brother.” Fiorella nodded, immediately ta
GABRIELLE’S POV I slept through the whole flight to Italy. When I woke up, we had already landed for almost thirty minutes and Damon was sitting across the bed, watching me. “You’re finally awake, sleepy head,” he said, his voice low. I stretched my arms above my head, the muscles pulling pleasantly. “I was tired. Whose fault is that?” His gaze dipped briefly before returning to my face. “Mine,” he said. “I’ll take responsibility for that.” Fiorella had already gone ahead to the resort where we’d be staying. She texted me something about infinity pools and ocean views and how I’d owe her wine for life. The drive to the resort was short. Damon told me how his parents were both from Italy but moved to America due to his father’s businesses. I looked forward to knowing more about him and where he came from. The place was huge, secluded, and private. The luxury felt unreal as the huge gate slid open. The car stopped in front of the first building, and when I a
GABRIELLE’S POV I stirred in my sleep, a moan slipping from my mouth before I could process what was happening. I woke up with Damon’s head between my legs. His tongue lapped me up hungrily, one hand squeezing my breast and it made me almost forget he didn’t come home last night. Almost. I leaned on my elbow and raised my head to look at him. “No good morning or how—“ My words died in my throat as he spread my legs wider and sucked on my clit, making my eyes roll back into my head. I fell back on the pillow, giving him unrestricted access and privacy with his breakfast choice. My morning couldn’t have started any better. After I came, he leaned over me and kissed me until I was breathless and gasping for air. I broke the kiss, a satisfied smile forming on my lips. “Someone is in a good mood this morning.” He hummed against my skin as he ran open kisses down my neck. “You could say that.” “Had a good time last night?” I asked, pushing against his chest so
GABRIELLE’S POV Damon ended the call after Jared uttered those words. His eyes were back to their cold default and I could feel a sudden distance between us. My throat ran dry. “Damon—“ “You lied.” Fuck, I shouldn’t have lied if he was going to find out anyway. He threw my phone on the bed and I picked it up to switch it off. I hesitated, unsure of what I should say next. “I’m sorry,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. I cleared my throat and tried again. “I’m sorry, Damon.” He closed the space between us, his hands cupping my cheeks. “I know you are sorry, Gabrielle. But Jared dies today. No need for an apology.” Chill ran up my spine. I should have been ecstatic about getting my revenge on Jared, but I wasn’t. It made me sad in a way that I didn’t understand. He was also the only person Emily had after Father disowned us. I might have cut ties with her but I still cared about her as a sister would. From afar, of course. I swallowed. “Let’s calm
