I burst out laughing as Debbie spat out her drink, her face twisting into pure disgust.

“I don’t even know why I listened to you, Calvin. This tastes like an expired battery.”

Calvin rolled his eyes dramatically, snatching his glass back from her. He shot me a mischievous grin, tilting the cup toward me as if daring me to try it.

“I think I’ll pass,” I said quickly, grimacing as I handed Debbie a napkin.

We were out together today — Debbie, Calvin, and me — finally catching up after what felt like ages. Lunch at a retro-themed diner had been Calvin’s idea, and I had to admit, the place had charm. The neon signs, checkered floors, and faded posters gave off a nostalgic vibe, like stepping into a time capsule. Even better, the diner was practically empty, which meant I could enjoy my food in peace while still having a good laugh with these two.

“You guys remember Beefy Bert from college?” Debbie asked suddenly, her eyes lighting up with mischief. “Tall, tanned, always wore flip-flops to

  • Arranged Marriage To The Billionaire Heir   Chapter 36

    “Evageline, if you want to be the big bad wolf, you’ll have to blow at the houses as hard as you can.”The little girl tilted her head, her lips curling into a pout. “Can’t I just point my finger at the house and then it falls down?”I blinked at her. She was definitely not making my job any easier today. "You’re a wolf, not a little girl with magical powers—”“Then let me be a wolf with magical powers.” She batted her lashes coyly and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes.“Everyone take five.” I sighed, waving the kids off for a break. My patience was already thinning and Evageline’s stubbornness wasn’t helping. I walked over to the porch and plopped down beside Deb, who was sitting comfortably with an amused grin on her face.“Seems like that went well.” she teased.I groaned, shaking my head. “The opposite, actually. Evageline’s giving me a hard time. Remind me again why I agreed to let her be the wolf?”Deb chuckled. “Because she would’ve screamed your head off if you gave that part t

    I let out a small yawn as I slowly got off the couch, my body still tired from my restless night as I padded across the floor toward the door. I pried the door open and before I could even let out a 'hello' I was engulfed in a tight hug. Kaylor’s blonde curls tickled my face, her arms wrapping around me in a way that felt both comforting and suffocating.“I’m so sorry.” she whispered, her voice muffled against my shoulder.My brows knitted together in confusion as I tried to wriggle free from her grip. “Sorry? For what?”“For not coming over yesterday. I feel so bad.”Ah. That.The memory of yesterday came back to me slowly. After the whole Nathaniel fiasco, I’d called Kaylor in tears, telling her that I needed to see her. But she had a family dinner she couldn’t get out of, leaving me to deal with my problem alone.So I did the only thing that made sense at the time: I grabbed my still-unpacked suitcase and leftNathaniel's to my own apartment. The fatigue from the flight that day had

  • Arranged Marriage To The Billionaire Heir   Chapter 34

    I’d said not more than five words to Nathaniel on our flight and on the drive back home. At the airport, he asked if I wanted to pick up any New York souvenirs from the gift shop. I said no. When we boarded the plane, he asked if I wanted a champagne flute. Again, I said no.Five hours later, when we touched down in San Francisco, he asked if I wanted to grab food before heading home. And of course, you guessed it, I said no.We were finally on our way home and I still hadn’t strung together a full sentence for him. I kept myself busy, occasionally staring out the window or checking my phone to see if Kaylor had texted. I avoided eye contact like it was poison. I couldn’t tell if Nathaniel couldn't take a hint that I was giving him the silent treatment or if he was simply that oblivious.“Is the AC too much for you? Should I tell the driver to—”“No.” My tone was clipped, sharp and I didn’t bother sparing him a glance.Thankfully, he shut up after that and the rest of the ride was do

    My eyes fluttered open slowly, adjusting to the dim light that filtered through the curtains of our hotel room. The soft hum of the city outside was muffled, leaving only the quiet rhythm of breathing beside me. My gaze landed on Nathaniel’s sleeping face.For the past mornings we’d shared this room, I had always woken to find him already showered, dressed and ready for whatever business he had to do for the day. But today was different. Today, he was still here, lying beside me, his chest rising and falling in steady rhythm.I studied him in silence, taking in every detail. His features were relaxed, softened by sleep. He looked so peaceful, boyish even, as though the weight of his world and all his workload had finally loosened its grip for a few hours.As if on cue, his own eyes fluttered open. He caught me staring, but I didn’t bother to look away. There was no point pretending otherwise. Instead, I offered him a small smile and he returned it with one of his own.“Hey.”“Hey.” Hi

  • Arranged Marriage To The Billionaire Heir   Chapter 32

    The first thing I noticed when we arrived at the venue was the paparazzi. I had never expected so many reporters, their cameras fashing in every direction, desperate for the perfect shot to feed their publishers.I glanced at Nathaniel nervously. He gave me an assuring smile as he leaned forward to whisper something to the driver before stepping out of the car. Moments later, he opened my door and held his hand out for mine. I took in a deep breath as I placed my palm gently in his and let him help me out.As if on cue, the flashes exploded everywhere. I had to blink several times to clear my vision. Nathaniel tightened his grip on my hand as he guided me through the throngs of cameramen pushing in around us.Questions flew in with the flashes: Is this the new Mrs. Sinclair? Who is your designer? What are your expectations for tonight? Is it true your marriage was arranged?At that last question, Nathaniel’s hand closed more firmly around mine as he pulled us forward quickly. A man dr

  • Arranged Marriage To The Billionaire Heir   Chapter 31

    I stared at my reflection in the full-length mirror of our hotel room, studying the dress I’d chosen for the night.I’d taken Kaylor’s advice and gone with the black satin one, the one with the long slit up the side and the sweetheart neckline.I had to admit, it looked really flattering on me. It hugged my curves in all the right places and the neckline showed just the right amount of cleavage. Nohing too crazy. I was even starting to like the slit, which I’d initially thought was a bit much.I couldn’t help but wonder what Nathaniel’s reaction would be when he saw me. I didn’t know why, but the thought of him ogling me or maybe even throwing another compliment my way like he did the day of his parents’ dinner made me feel all giddy inside.The man himself hadn’t been around all day. He’d mentioned something about running errands but I hadn’t asked for details. Maybe he had some last-minute things to handle before the awards show tonight.Or maybe… he was avoiding me. After what happ
