Kaelia's POV

It seemed Freddy shared in my celebratory mood. I should have known he had planned something from the mischief in his eyes as we walked hand in hand into the mansion.

I saw luggage, ten of them, packed and waiting in the grand sitting room.

I looked up at Freddy in confusion, “Uh, what's going on?” I asked as I looked at the boxes with raised brows.

He turned to me with a cocky smile, “We’re going on a trip.”

A trip? “To where? When? Right now?”

    Freddy's POVPain.That was the first thing I felt when consciousness returned. Sharp, throbbing pain in my head, my chest, everywhere.I forced my eyes open. The windshield was shattered, spiderwebbed with cracks. The airbag had deployed, deflating now against my chest. Smoke or steam was rising from the hood."Kaelia," I croaked, turning my head despite the spike of pain. "Kaelia!"She was slumped against her seatbelt, blood trickling from a cut on her forehead. But her eyes were fluttering open."Freddy?" Her voice was weak, confused."I'm here. Are you okay? Can you move?"She winced, touching her head. "I think so. What happened?""Someone hit us. Twice."The black car. I looked around frantically but couldn't see it anywhere. Whoever had hit us was gone.People were gathering now, emerging from nearby buildings and cars. Someone was on their phone, probably calling 911."We need to get out," I said, fumbling with my seatbelt. "The car might not be safe."I managed to unbuckle m

    Kaelia's POV"Okay, so if we're really going to do this properly," I said, closing my laptop and turning to face Freddy, "I'm going to need some things.”"Make a list," Freddy said immediately. "Whatever you need, I'll get it for you."I grabbed a notebook from my desk and started writing. "A new laptop, something with more processing power. Access to cloud storage. Development software licenses. And I'll need to see the Montgomery Grand's current guest management system so I can integrate properly.""Done, done, and done," Freddy said. "I can get you access to our systems tomorrow. As for the equipment, I can probably find most of what you need at the office. We have a whole tech department with spare equipment.""Really? That would be amazing.""Give me a few days to gather everything," he said, kissing my forehead. "In the meantime, keep working on the prototype. I want to show it to our development team next week."After Freddy left, promising to call me later, I spent the evening

    192Kaelia's POVI practically floated into the house, the ring on my finger catching the light with every movement. I couldn't stop looking at it, couldn't stop replaying the moment Freddy got down on one knee in front of all those people.He'd chosen me. Publicly, irrevocably, he'd chosen me."Mom!" I called out, closing the door behind me. "Mom, where are you?""In the kitchen," her voice came back.I rushed into the kitchen where she was preparing dinner, chopping vegetables at the counter. I held out my hand, the diamond sparkling under the kitchen lights."Look!" I said, unable to contain my excitement. "Freddy proposed!"My mother's knife stopped mid-chop. She slowly looked up from the cutting board to my hand, her expression unreadable."He proposed," she repeated flatly."Yes! At the Montgomery Grand, in front of all these reporters. It was so romantic and unexpected and – Mom, aren't you happy for me?"She set down the knife carefully and wiped her hands on a towel. "Happy.

    Demitra's POVI slammed the front door so hard the windows rattled.The image was burned into my brain. Freddy is on one knee. That girl is crying. The ring. The kiss. Everyone was watching, cameras flashing, the whole world seeing him choose her over me.Again."No!" I screamed, grabbing the first thing I could reach – a vase on the entry table – and hurling it against the wall. It shattered into a thousand pieces, the sound satisfying for exactly one second before the rage built up again."Demitra!" My mother's voice came from somewhere behind me. "Demitra, stop!"I didn't stop. I couldn't stop.I moved through the living room like a hurricane, sweeping everything off the coffee table. Books, magazines, a decorative bowl – all of it crashed to the floor."He proposed to her!" I screamed. "In front of everyone! He got down on his knees for that nobody!""Demitra, please calm down –""Calm down?" I whirled to face her. "How am I supposed to calm down? Did you see it? Did you see him l

    Freddy's Pov "This is Kaelia," I continued, still holding her hand. "And I'm in love with her. Completely, deeply, irrevocably in love with her. She's not a gold digger, she's not a social climber. She's not any of the things that certain people have accused her of being. She's kind and compassionate and strong. She's brilliant and beautiful, and she makes me want to be a better man."The cameras were going crazy now, flashes nearly constant. But I kept my focus on what I needed to say."I know there have been questions about our relationship, about whether it's real or some kind of publicity stunt. Let me be absolutely clear—this is the most real thing in my life. Kaelia is the most real thing in my life. And I don't care who approves or disapproves. Who thinks she's good enough or not good enough. I know who she is, and that's all that matters."I turned to face Kaelia fully now. Her eyes were shining with tears, her hand over her mouth."I've spent the last few months trying to pr

    Freddy's POVThe investors finally filed out of my office, their handshakes firm, and their smiles satisfied. We'd just closed a major deal for the Montgomery Grand hotel expansion, adding two new properties to our portfolio. It should have felt like a victory, but all I could think about was Kaelia.I walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city and loosened my tie. Somewhere out there, she was going about her day, probably still worried about those photos from last night. I'd checked the blogs this morning and saw the comments, and I saw the way people were already tearing her apart again.It made my blood boil.She didn't deserve this. She didn't deserve to be scrutinised and judged by people who didn't even know her, who had no idea how incredible she was.I'd spent weeks in Italy showing her how much I loved her, proving that we could have a future together. But we were back in the real world now, and the real world was cruel. It wasn't enough to just tell her

    Kaelia's POV Well, my cheeks did not stop burning until we were safely away from the building and in front of the car.I laughed when he finally lowered me to the ground, “They're going to be talking about that for a while, aren't they?”“Let them.” Freddy replied, unbothered, but I caught the fai
