POV: Elena

I regretted the promise I made the second I hung up. How was I meant to fully show up for her when I was in love with her fiancée?

The next two weeks felt like slow torture. Sophia wanted me at everything, dress adjustments, cake tastings, family dinners, last-minute meetings with the planner. Every time she said Mike’s name, something in my chest twisted. Every time she talked about the future like it was already set, I had to keep my face blank.

And Mike was there for most of it. T

  • BETRAYED BY HER SISTER, CLAIMED BY THE BILLIONAIRE    CHAPTER 16- TWO WEEKS

    POV: ElenaI regretted the promise I made the second I hung up. How was I meant to fully show up for her when I was in love with her fiancée?The next two weeks felt like slow torture. Sophia wanted me at everything, dress adjustments, cake tastings, family dinners, last-minute meetings with the planner. Every time she said Mike’s name, something in my chest twisted. Every time she talked about the future like it was already set, I had to keep my face blank.And Mike was there for most of it. The first time I saw him after that night in his office was at a family dinner at the Laurent house. I walked in behind Sophia and felt his eyes on me immediately. He looked tired and low, like he was trying to hold himself together the same way I was. We barely spoke. When we did, it was short and careful.“Hey Elena.”“Hi Mike.”That was it. But the air between us felt loaded every time we were in the same room. I’d catch him watching me across the table. He’d look away too fast. I’d do the sa

    POV: ElenaI let out a short, ugly laugh. “So make me understand this, Mr. Mike Laurent. All this time, you've been engaged to my sister, while you were out here busy trying to kiss me?”“Elena…”“No, Mike. You will listen to me. You had no right to do this to me or my sister, she doesn't deserve all this”.He stepped closer and held my shoulders, “ Tell me you don't love me Elena. Look me in the eye and tell me you feel nothing “.We stood there staring at each other. The office felt too small. All the intense moments from the past weeks were suddenly right there under the surface, mixed with something uglier.Mike dragged a hand through his hair. “Stop acting like I planned this okay!?.”“I’m acting like you kept working with me after you found out. Like you still looked at me the same way.” My voice rose. “You’re engaged to my sister, Mike. And you’ve been looking at me like you want to kiss me since the night we met.”His eyes flashed. “You think I don’t know that? You think this

    POV: MikeI placed the photo down in defeat. Elena was Sophia’s sister. I was in disbelief. The office felt too quiet. I could hear my own heartbeat beating fast. Every moment with Elena started playing back in my head, the wine, the elevator, last night in the car when we both almost kissed, everything felt wrong now.Guilt hit me fast. I had been looking at my fiancée’s sister like I wanted her. I almost kissed her. I have been thinking about her for days when I should have been thinking about Sophia. Not knowing didn’t make it feel any better. But under the guilt was something worse. I still wanted Elena. Knowing it was wrong only made the feeling stronger. That messed me up, and I still couldn’t stop seeing her face.I grabbed my phone and called Adrian.He picked up on the third ring. “Bro it’s late. This better be important.”“I need you at my place. Now.”There was a short pause. “You sound off. What happened?”“Just come.”I hung up, by the time Adrian walked into my house,

    POV: ElenaI stared at Sophia’s message until the words blurred. Wedding dress fitting tomorrow, and she wants no excuses. I put the phone down and sat there in the dark for a long time. My head was still full of Mike, the car, the almost-kiss, the way he looked at me like he was holding himself back. Now I had to go watch my sister try on wedding dresses for a man she never told me about. I found it quite hard to sleep that night. The next morning, I got dressed without thinking too much and took a cab to the salon. There were soft lighting and cream carpets, almost everything seemed expensive. Sophia was already there, glowing and bouncing on her toes when she saw me.“Sis. You’re here!” She hugged me tight. “I thought you might not come.”“I said I’d come right.”She pulled back and frowned at my face. “You look like hell. Are you okay?”“I'm good. I'm just a bit tired.”She didn’t insist. She just grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the fitting rooms, talking about fabrics and

    POV: ElenaThe silence in the car felt so loud.Mike still hadn’t started driving. The street lights kept shining on his face, I couldn’t tell what was going on in his mind. But the way he was looking at me felt the same way it did in the elevator, like he wanted something and was pissed at himself for that.My heart was beating too fast. I told myself to look away, but I didn’t. My thoughts kept overwhelming me, ‘Just get out of the car. Say goodnight and stop making this worse.’ He shifted a little closer to me. Not enough to touch me, but close enough that I could feel the warmth coming off him. His eyes dropped to my mouth. My heart started beating even faster.We both almost leaned in. At the last second we both moved back like we’d been burned. The air went tight and awkward. Mike turned to the windshield and finally started the car. Neither of us said anything during the drive. The silence felt loud, my hands were clenched so hard in my lap that my nails dug into my palms.I ke
