Abigail’s POV

Dinner was nothing like I expected.

The table alone could have fed a small country. White stone, polished wood, flickering candlelight, servers moving in and out with practiced ease. The ocean breathed somewhere beyond the glass walls, waves rolling in like they had nothing better to do than exist beautifully.

I sat among billionaires, holding my fork like it might betray me.

Christian sat across from me.

I told myself not to look at him. I told myself that whatever existed betwe

    Christian’s POVMy cock strained painfully against my zipper. If Abigail rocked her hips one more time, I was going to embarrass myself and come in my pants like a teenager.I pushed her skirt up until the fabric bunched at her waist. The sight of her pink thong made my already hard dick throb even more.“Did you wear this for me, Davenport?” My voice came out husky as I hooked a finger under the thin strap and tugged lightly.She didn’t turn around, but I could hear the eye roll in her reply. “Don’t get ahead of yourself, Castillo.”She kept swiveling her hips in slow, teasing circles that drove me insane.“You know what I think?” I murmured, dragging my fingers up and down the backs of her thighs.“Feel free to keep it to yourself.”“I think you hoped something like this would happen.”“That’s some heavy assumption.”I teased the damp triangle of fabric between her legs, pressing just enough to make her breath hitch, then pulled away.She whipped her head around, glaring at me over

    Abigail’s POVI glanced at the phone screen. Luke’s name flashed across it. My jaw tightened. I didn’t reach for it.“Ignore it,” I muttered, picking up the shrimp Christian had just cleaned for me.I put it in my mouth and chewed, but the taste barely registered.The phone buzzed again.My fingers curled against the table.Christian leaned back, wiping his hands on a napkin, but his eyes stayed locked on my face. “Abigail.”I met his gaze, irritation prickling hot under my skin. “It’s nothing important.”“You’ve been letting it ring,” he said calmly.The buzzing didn’t stop, and the constant sound scraped against my nerves like sandpaper.Why wouldn’t he stop?“Take the call,” Christian said.I shook my head. “No.”“Why?”“I don’t want to.”It buzzed again.My patience frayed another inch.Christian’s voice remained even. “Then make it stop.”I looked at him. He sat so composed, sleeves rolled up, like the interruption hadn’t cut right through the fragile peace we’d built in the last

    Christian’s POVThe last conference call ended at six-thirty.My shoulders ached. My jaw felt tight.Too many calls. Too many moving parts. Too many people expecting everything to run like clockwork.The Castillo way.I dragged a hand down my face and leaned back in my chair for a second.Silence never lasted long in this house.Even now, I could hear the distant clatter of dishes, footsteps crossing marble floors, someone calling out instructions down the hall.The estate had been chaos all week.Not the careless kind. The controlled, orchestrated kind that came with too many people trying to make one thing perfect.Abuelo’s oak jubilee.It had been planned like a state event. Meetings layered over meetings. Schedules revised, then revised again. Deliveries at all hours. Florists, caterers, decorators, security.At some point, I had stopped keeping track.And somehow, in the middle of it all, I’d still been dragged into back-to-back conference calls.I exhaled and pushed to my feet.

    Abigail’s POVI stood across the street from the café for a full minute before realizing I’d been staring at the same couple through the window the entire time.They were laughing about something, heads tipped together over a slice of cake, completely unaware that my life was currently paused like a buffering video.I dragged a hand down my face.This was ridiculous.It was just coffee.Just a conversation.Just the woman who left me when I was fifteen.No big deal.I glanced down at my shoes and immediately regretted it.There was something on the toe of my sneaker that I was ninety percent sure was puke. I tried to wipe it against the curb, which only smeared it in a way that somehow made it worse.Fantastic.I reached up to scratch my head and my fingers brushed against something sticky in my hair.I pulled my hand back slowly.Dried blood.I stared at my fingers.“Great,” I muttered under my breath.Typical.You ride the bus once in this city and suddenly you’re an unwilling spect

    Abigail’s POV The week that followed was chaos.Not the messy, disorganized kind.The Castillo kind.Which meant everything was precise, extravagant, and somehow twice as overwhelming.Alberto Castillo’s Oak Jubilee birthday celebration was apparently not something to be taken lightly. The preparations alone felt like planning a royal coronation.Every department of the Castillo Group was involved.Design teams.Event planners.Security.Media.Even the household had been pulled into special arrangements.And somehow I had been right in the middle of it all.Back-to-back meetings. Errands. Deliveries. Endless coordination.Which meant very little time with the Castillos themselves.One dark-haired Castillo in particular.Christian.The thought of him alone made my stomach do something stupid.We had barely seen each other since the diner.Since the dance.Since that moment that had felt far too real for something that was never supposed to be real at all.He’d been swamped with work.

    Christian’s POV Abigail opened her mouth, but I beat her to it.“She crashed into my life,” I said slowly. “And I’ve been trying to catch up ever since.”Her breath hitched.I felt it where she sat tucked against my side.I turned slightly to look at her. The diner lights reflected in her eyes, and for a second she looked completely caught off guard.Good.I slid an arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer.“Nah man, you’ve got to give me more than that,” the man from the next table said, leaning forward with a grin.I glanced around.Apparently the entire diner had decided our anniversary story was now public entertainment.Every head in the immediate area was turned toward us.Waiting.Expecting.Our fake love story.I opened my mouth to continue, but Abigail’s hand landed on my thigh under the table. She squeezed hard, nails digging in just enough to shut me up instantly.I looked down at her hand. Then back at her face.She smiled sweetly at the crowd.“Come on, babe,” she
