TASHA'S POV

He believed my story would bring massive ratings, especially since I was the "grieving daughter" of a recently deceased billionaire who was about to expose the truth about her evil stepsister.

If only he knew how right he was about the ratings.

Now I sat at the polished news desk, my hands folded perfectly as I stared into Christine's eyes across from me. She looked professional in her navy blazer, her makeup flawless under the studio lights. Behind the cameras, I could see the production crew getting ready for what they thought would be just another human interest story.

People were starting to stare—decorators adjusting the floral arrangements, early arriving guests snapping pictures with their phones, hotel staff bustling around making final preparations. They had no idea that the groom they were photographing was currently living his worst nightmare.Some of the wedding guests who had arrived early were taking selfies near the elegant entrance, excited to be part of what the media had dubbed "the wedding of the year" since I'd made the invitation public. They smiled and waved at me, completely oblivious to the chaos erupting in my mind.This was all a joke, this was a prank. I tried to make myself believe it was all fake. but who could have done this? Who would pull such a sick pr

    126CHARLES' POVWhen I finally arrived at the hotel, a uniformed butler took my luggage and escorted me up to my room on the twenty-eighth floor. The suite was exactly what I'd requested—spacious, private, with a clear view of the city skyline where tomorrow's chaos would unfold.Now I stood in the marble shower, letting the hot water cascade down my abs and well-built physique as I closed my eyes and let my mind wander to tomorrow's events. In less than twenty-four hours, I would be standing where that bastard Stanley thought he belonged—at the altar, next to Alora.I had sent her a message, and I know she must be wondering who sent the message to her, she had no idea what was coming, she had once rejected me well now I would take her by force.I could picture it perfectly: the priest saying those sacred words, "You may now kiss your bride," and instead of Stanley's lips touching hers, it would be mine. Finally, after all these months of wanting her, yearning for her from afar, I wo

    124TASHA'S POVWhen I first saw them wheeling out what everyone believed was Dad's body on that gurney, I'll admit I was shocked. For a split second, my heart actually stopped beating. Had he really died? Had my plan worked too well?But then I caught myself and shrugged. Of course this was going to happen eventually. I mean, I had expected it from the moment I'd set that bomb. The old man was tough, but he wasn't invincible.Still, I needed to maintain my cover. Standing there among the crowd of reporters and onlookers, I forced my face into a mask of devastation. I clutched those white lilies so tightly my knuckles went white, and I let a few genuine tears fall—not tears of grief, but tears of relief that my nightmare was finally over.When Alora's eyes met mine across that chaos, I made sure she saw exactly what she expected to see: a heartbroken daughter mourning her father's death.

    123ALORA'S POVAs I walked through the hospital corridors toward my father's ward, I spotted Dr. Martinez near the nurses' station. The moment he saw me, his face went pale and he quickly approached us."Miss Xavier, Mr. Richardson," he said, his voice tight with anxiety. "I need to speak with you both."We stepped aside into a quieter corner, away from the bustling nurses and orderlies."I have to tell you, I'm extremely tense about what we're doing," he said, wringing his hands.

"Doctor, I paid you, didn't I? We had an agreement."Dr. Martinez looked around nervously. "Yes, but—""Nothing will happen to you," I interrupted, placing a reassuring hand on his arm. "I promise you that. Your name and your hospital's reputation will be completely protected. No one will ever know you were involved in this."He
