View MoreChapter 17The Alvarez mansion buzzed with an energy Emily hadn't seen before.Staff rushed up and down the grand halls, floral arrangements twice her size were wheeled into the ballroom, and a catering team set up endless trays of food on silver platters that gleamed under the crystal chandeliers.Emily stood in front of the floor-length mirror in her temporary bedroom, heart hammering inside her ribs.The dress Pearl had sent over earlier now hugged her body like a second skin—an off-shoulder black velvet gown, slit daringly up her left thigh, glittering subtly when she moved.She looked... different.Like someone who belonged in a billionaire’s world.And she hated it."Pull your shoulders back," Pearl said from somewhere behind her, adjusting the hem one last time.Emily obeyed without thinking.Ruby’s excited texts kept buzzing on her nightstand:YOU’RE GONNA BREAK THE INTERNET TONIGHT OMGDON’T FORGET TO SMILE LIKE YOU’RE IN LOVEEmily swallowed hard.Smile. Play the part. Prete
Chapter 16The sound of Ryan’s fist still echoed through the study. But across the city, Emily stepped out of the black SUV, the night air cool against her skin. Her heels clicked softly against the pavement as she made her way to her apartment, her thoughts trapped somewhere between the dinner she’d just left... and the life she was apparently walking into.The moment she stepped inside, her phone lit up with Ruby’s smiling face. She hurried forward, phone in hand.“You’re back!” Ruby exclaimed. “You survived the dinner?”Emily dropped her purse on the side table and sank onto the couch with a tired sigh. “Barely.”Ruby narrowed her eyes. “Tell me everything. No skipping the good parts.”Emily laughed weakly, rubbing her temples. “Alfred is… intimidating. Ryan was silent half the time. And apparently, I’m moving in tomorrow.”Ruby blinked. “Wait, what?”“Exactly.” Emily glanced up. “He just said it—no warning. No discussion. Just... ‘Tomorrow.’”Ruby flopped down beside her, wide-e
Chapter 15The atmosphere at the dinner table hung still. Not a word was spoken as all eyes subtly turned to Ryan.Emily noticed it first—the way his jaw clenched and his thumb hovered too long over the phone screen. Then Alfred, raising a single, knowing brow, broke the silence. “Something more important than this dinner?” Ryan didn’t flinch. He set the phone down —face-down— the screen still aglow for a second longer like it was daring someone to ask.“No.Just some work issue. I’ll deal with it”Emily didn’t say a word. She wasn’t here to play the worried wife. If he was shaken, he could sit with it. Still, something in her chest shifted—whoever texted him or whatever the text was about had him rattled. That was rare. And interesting.Alfred cleared his throat, slicing through the tension. “Alright then,” he said, his voice smooth. “Emily, when do you plan on moving in?”Emily blinked. “Um... I haven’t exactly thought—”“Tomorrow,” Ryan cut in, his voice crisp, controlled.Emily t
Chapter 14Emily stepped through the towering entrance, and the sheer grandeur of the mansion threatened to swallow her whole. The sheer luxury of it all made her stomach twist. She wasn’t supposed to be here. This wasn’t her world.A massive chandelier loomed overhead, its crystals twinkling as if someone had trapped a night sky within its frame. The air smelled of aged oak and expensive cologne, the kind of scent that whispered power, old money, and unshakable legacies. Everywhere she turned, there was wealth—gold-trimmed walls, velvet drapes that pooled onto marble floors, and paintings so large they could tell entire histories.It was stunning. Overwhelming.Very sophisticated.Emily let out a breath she didn’t even know she was holding, as her fingers grazed the soft fabric of her dress. It felt expensive, but that didn’t stop her from feeling like an imposter, nothing more than trying to be the perfect wife, just like a doll dressed up for display."You look perfect."Ryan’s voic
Chapter 5“Emily…you’re still sleeping? c’mon wake up!” Ruby scowled as she attempted to drag her best friend out of the bedSlowly, as if lifeless, Emily opened her eyes. She lay in the bed motionless, inhaling the fresh scents of baked treats, she squinted her eyes, trying to make the time out of

Chapter 1Emily stood infront of her mirror, her reflection staring back at her made her smile, she was at peace with herself.“The dress looks good on you!
