Louise’s POV

I woke up before the sun. My room was quiet, but my chest wasn’t. The air felt heavy, the way it always did when something was ending. I sat up slowly, rubbed my eyes, and stayed still for a while. Today was the day I was saying goodbye to everything I had built. Everything I had loved.

I walked over to the window and opened the curtains. The light was soft and grey. A new morning, but it didn’t feel fresh. It felt like something was being taken away.

I got a text from Tristan and I told him how I was feeling

Tristan: Good morning, how are you doing ?

Me: I am good, heading out to sell off my company to Elsa. 😭😪

Tristan: I’m sorry, you have to be strong. Remember If you need me I’m one call away 🫂🤗

Me: Thank you, I really appreciate.

I dropped my phone in my tote bag, I pulled on a simple T-shirt and a pair of jeans. No heels, no makeup. Just me. Plain and tired. My hair stayed down, unbrushed, wild. I didn’t care.

I looked around the room one last time, then grabb

  • Forced into his world    CHAPTER EIGHTEEN- Something Real

    Louise’s POV I stared at my reflection in the mirror, smoothing my hands down the silky, muted-blue dress Tristan had picked out for me. It fit perfectly, soft, delicate, with just the right amount of elegance. Quiet luxury. Not loud or flashy, but it made a statement. There was a matching pair of heels tucked inside the box, the kind you’d see on someone with polished manners and rehearsed smiles. But I didn’t wear them. Instead, I pulled on my white sneakers. Clean. Simple. Comfortable. Me. I wasn’t about to twist an ankle just to impress the Pierres. Downstairs, I heard the doorbell ring. My stomach turned. It was time. I grabbed the clutch that came with the outfit, slipped in my phone, and made my way down. Tristan stood in the foyer, dressed in a black tailored suit and crips white shirt, no tie, just like always, confident but never trying too hard. His eyes lifted when he saw me, and for a second, he just… stared. He blinked. Then smiled. “You look…” His voice caught

  • Forced into his world    CHAPTER SEVENTEEN- Trying Counts

    Tristan’s POV The hotel lobby was quiet, the kind of quiet that echoed your thoughts too loudly. I had just dropped my bag in the suite, hoping for a few hours of silence. Maybe some sleep. I didn’t even take off my shoes, just sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the floor. My phone buzzed. Dad. I hesitated before answering. “Hello?” “Tristan,” his voice was steady, firm like always, “come home.” My jaw clenched. “Why?” “Your mother and Olivia want to speak with you.” I almost laughed. “Why would I want to speak with them?” “Because tomorrow is important,” he said calmly. “And whatever their reason, they’re asking to see you. Just come.” I said nothing. He waited. “Fine,” I muttered, grabbing my keys again. The hotel door clicked behind me. I pulled into the Pierre estate’s driveway not even thirty minutes later. The main lights were still on. That was the first warning sign, my mother usually had the house dimmed like some kind of palace at night. Inside, the plac

  • Forced into his world    CHAPTER SIXTEEN- Safe, For Now

    Louise’s POVWarm light brushed against my eyelids, gently pulling me from sleep. I blinked slowly, the first thing I noticed wasn’t the monitor or the ceiling lights, it was the soft scent of flowers.I turned my head, and there it was.A bouquet of white lilies sat on the bedside table, delicate and lovely. Beside it, a box of dark chocolates wrapped in a soft gold ribbon. I reached for the note tucked beneath the flowers.“You’re not alone – Tristan.”A small smile tugged at my lips. I read the note again, pressing it gently against my chest.He came back. He stayed.A knock at the door made me look up. A nurse walked in with a gentle smile.“Good morning, Miss Gael. How are we feeling?”“Better,” I murmured, sitting up slowly.“Good to hear. Doctor says you’re stable. You’ll be discharged in a few hours.” She placed a tray on the table. “Eat something first. And take these.”She handed me a small cup of pills and a glass of water. I swallowed them, then looked at the plate, eggs,

    Louise’s POVThe car ride with Tristan had been quiet. I didn’t say much, I couldn’t. He hadn’t pushed me either. He just drove with one hand on the wheel, glancing at me sometimes, like he was checking to make sure I was still breathing.When we got to my house, I thanked him softly and stepped out. I didn’t look back. I couldn’t.The house was still. Ms. Agatha had probably gone to her room. The lights in the hallway glowed dimly, the silence pressing in on me like fog.Upstairs, I threw my bag on the bed and sat down.

  • Forced into his world    CHAPTER THIRTEEN- Because I See Her

    Tristan’s POV The streets were quiet as I drove Louise home, the city lights casting a soft glow through the windshield. She didn’t talk much on the ride, just stared out the window, her arms crossed loosely in her lap.I didn’t press her. She’d already said so much today, more than she probably intended. Her voice had trembled when she told me how it ended with Elsa. I could still feel the tightness in my chest when she said she walked in on the two of them.When she stepped out of the car, she gave me a small nod. No smile, just quiet gratitude. I watched until she got inside before I turned the car around and headed back to the Pierre estate.By the time I got home, dinner had already started. The house smelled like roasted garlic and my mother’s overdone lamb. Voices floated from the dining room, Henri, Raphael, Olivia. I heard laughter, but not the warm kind.I stepped inside and walked toward the dining table.“Well, well,” Olivia said with a smirk the moment I entered. “The ch
