Chapter Seven

Christiana’s POV

The prison smelled like metal, bleach, and regret.

The kind of place where hope didn’t just die, it decayed, slowly and loud. I hadn’t been here since the sentencing. I hadn’t wanted to be. I told myself I’d never look him in the eye again. But here I was.

The prison guards led me through two checkpoints before nodding toward the visitation window.

It was very cold with a metal chair on either side of thick, fingerprint-smudged glass. The phone hanging on my side looked heavier than a normal telephone should be.

I wonder what they added to this one that makes it more heavier?

These petty kinds of things baffles me a lot and leaves me restless until my curiosity is satisfied with an appropriate answer.

He was already seated there, waiting. I paused at the sight of him, rethinking my motive for visiting him.

Tony really has a way of making me do things I do not want to do, I wonder how he was able to guilt talk me into this becau

  • Craving The Enemy's Husband   Interview

    Chapter Eight - Interview Christiana’s POV It's a new day. A step further to my revenge and today, I was going for an interview, to become the secretary to Bella Calamida's husband. I dressed my best and prepared fervently for it. It would be impossible for me not to qualify, matter of fact I overqualified. I had two Bachelor's Degree in Stanford University and Columbia University respectively, and I also have a Master's degree in Pennsylvania University. I am a smart girl, one thing I would give an applause to my father for always was how he invested so much in me, I am endowed with so many qualities. I qualify to be the wife of Prince Charles and even someone more reputable. How much more to be seduced by Bryan Adams, I know my onions. But, there were too many people in the lobby. Way too many. The kind of crowd that made you question your own qualifications, your perfume, your shoes… even your birth certificate. I wasn't sure any more if I would qualify bette

  • Craving The Enemy's Husband   Wedding Humiliation

    Chapter Six Christiana’s POV It had been exactly one week since that kiss, and somehow the world still kept spinning like it didn’t know something inside me had shifted. The sympathy in me has reduced by 40%. I stood in front of the mirror in my hotel room, adjusting the neckline of my black, silk and backless dress. It clung to me like it had been poured onto my skin. It wasn’t revealing in the obvious way, but it isn't something one would forget so easily. I wanted to be remembered. I wanted to be the shadow Bella couldn’t unsee. Tony sat on the armrest of the chair behind me, watching me through the mirror. His jaw was tight, but he didn’t speak. He hadn’t spoken much since that phone call. But he still showed up. Drove me to Dallas. Dressed in a sharp black suit and a look that said, “I shouldn’t be here.” “Last chance to back out,” he muttered as I slipped on my heels. I looked over my shoulder and smiled. “And miss the show? Not a chance.” *** Th

  • Craving The Enemy's Husband   Wedding Invite

    Chapter Five Christiana’s POV I hadn’t slept since that kiss. I just laid on the bed, tossing and turning, staring at the ceiling fan as it spun lazily above me, slicing the darkness with its soft whirring. The silence in my bedroom was thick, suffocating, like the air itself had grown heavy with questions I wasn’t ready to answer. Every few seconds, my mind circled back to the bar and lingers back to Bryan. The weight of his stare. The heat in his breath when it mingled with mine. The way his lips found mine like they already belonged there. God, I hated that I could still feel it. That kiss was unforgettable. I hadn’t expected it to feel like that. I hadn’t expected him to feel like more than a target. I was good in my seduction skills by the way. My phone buzzed on the nightstand and lit up with Tony’s name. I hesitated before answering. “Hey,” I said finally, trying to inject some normalcy into my voice. “You didn’t call me back last night.” His voice was calm,

    Chapter FourBryan’s POVI shouldn’t have kissed her. The thought pressed against my skull like a migraine, looping in my head without mercy as I steered the car through the quiet streets of Houston. The night was unusually still, but nothing in me was.I couldn’t even recall the exact second it happened, one minute we were talking, just two strangers over drinks, and the next, I was leaning in like a goddamn fool, tasting her lips like they were something I’d been starving for. I didn’t know her name. I didn’t know where she was from or why the hell she felt so alluring. All I knew was the shape of her mouth, the warmth of her breath, the way her fingertips grazed my chest like she belonged there. I didn’t kiss her like a man who was taken. I kissed her like I was lost.I gripped the steering wheel harder, knuckles pale against the leather as I cursed under my breath. What the hell was I thinking? What kind of man does that? What kind of man kisses a woman he just met, barely a we

  • Craving The Enemy's Husband   Hook, line ...

    Chapter ThreeChristiana’s POVTonight wasn’t about fashion. It was about precision, winning the heart of Bryan Adams.The mirror didn’t lie, but even I had to pause. The woman staring back at me wasn’t the one who had cried into her mother’s pillow or slept in oversized sweaters for weeks. She wasn’t the broken thing hiding from the world. She was calculated, composed and deadly.The black dress I chose was more than fabric, it was strategy. It hugged my waist, dipped low at the back, and clung to my hips like a second skin. Classy in the front, sinful in the back. My makeup was soft where it needed to be, striking where it mattered, smoky eyes, feathered brows, and lips painted in a deep red that whispered invitation and danger in the same breath. I let my hair fall in loose, dark waves over my shoulders, untamed, like something about me was just barely held together.Every inch of me screamed one word: unforgettable.“You sure about this?” I asked the girl in the mirror.She just s
