I couldn't stop grinning. It felt too wide. "I'm telling him. That I want us to be official. About my... feelings."

She shot upright so fast the stool skidded. "You're finally doing it! Good. Say it, serve the cake, drag him to bed—boom. Perfect night."

"Keep your voice down," I hissed, yanking her sleeve. "There's literally a child two feet away."

She cackled and dropped back onto the stool. "Sorry. I'm just happy for you. Leave the cake to me."

"Something simple's fine," I said, then paused. "Oh, by the way. That boyfriend of yours. Cade Lawson? I saw his face on a promo banner. He's doing some kind of reality show?"

"Yeah." Yvaine nodded. "He passed the audition. No clue when filming starts, though. Probably after the holidays."

"You sure about this? He's already got a fanbase. I've seen them fight people online like it's blood sport. And don't those shows ban contestants from dating?"

I'd seen a clip of Cade a few nights ago.

If he actually had talent to match that face, the show

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 190 Explanations

    I said, "Got it," and ended the call.The dining table was set. Cutlery straight, wine cold, plates steaming.I stood there for a second, then dropped into the chair and started eating.Three bites in, I gave up.Everything tasted flat.I left the rest, grabbed the remote, and collapsed on the couch.Thirty minutes passed.I couldn't remember a single thing I'd watched.When I looked up, Tom and Jerry was playing on mute.I let out a short laugh. Nothing was really funny.I got up, brought out the cake, and set it on the table.I took a small spoon from the drawer and dug in.The sponge was soft, not overly sweet, with a tart glaze that cut through the richness.Better than anything I'd cooked tonight.After a few bites, I flipped to some new drama people had been shouting about online.Ten minutes in, I still couldn't tell you what the plot was.The wall clock ticked past nine.Ashton still hadn't shown.I thought about going upstairs.But that photo kept flashing through my head.I

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 189 Dinner, Maybe

    I'd assumed it was business.He'd been away from the company for almost a week, after all.Work must have been piling up.Turned out he'd been at a hotel.With Rowan Hale.I'd noticed it back in Riverbend, the way she hovered around him.It hadn't clicked at the time, but now it did.While I sat there replaying every second of that short meeting with her, Daniel waved a hand in front of my face."Can I have my phone back? You look like you want to crush it to pulp."I blinked. "Sorry. Has this photo made the rounds yet?""Nah. Just a few fans found it. They're saying the guy might be her boyfriend, and they're trying not to spread it. Rowan's still low-key here. Most people don't even know she's in the country.""Boyfriend," I muttered. "Can you send it to me? I won't post it anywhere."Daniel nodded. "Sure. Sending it now."My phone buzzed in my pocket, but I didn't check it.I couldn't focus on anything.I didn't even remember what I was meant to be working on.Around five, the bell

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 187 Special Occasion

    I flinched and pulled my jacket tighter.Why the hell is it this cold? I packed a coat, I wore the coat, and I was still freezing. We had been gone six days, not six months.Ashton came up behind me and dropped a heavy wool coat over my shoulders.It was dark grey, thick, and warm enough to deflect a snowball."You always forget how cold it gets here," he said. "Just wear this until we get to the car."I pushed my arms into the sleeves.As soon as we stepped out of the terminal, Ashton grabbed my hand and shoved it into the pocket of his coat.His palm was warm, his fingers locked tightly around mine.We walked out together, side by side, our breath fogging in the wind.The cold hit sharper than before, the kind that cut through jeans and wool, straight to the bone.We climbed into the car waiting at the curb.Once back at the house, I went straight up to Ashton's room without thinking.I hadn't talked to Geoffrey yet, but I already knew what kind of answer he would give if I asked hi

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 186 Hired Gun

    While the host droned on about the change in protocol, I turned to Ashton."Octavia told you?"He nodded. "The Hadley guy works for a friend of mine. I asked him to look into it. Dubois took a payment. Six hundred thousand, wired two days ago. Offshore account. She's the one who ordered everything. The sabotage, the switch-up, all of it came from her."I frowned. "I don't even know her. Never met her before today.""She's just the hired gun. Hadley only had enough time to find out about the payment but couldn't trace the sender. It's buried. Whoever did it knew what they were doing.""Huh. I wonder who it could be."But there was no time to dig into it at the moment.The host's voice boomed, "The final score is in. First place goes to... Miss Mirabelle Vance!"A staff member waved me back onto the stage.After the award ceremony, we hit another snag."Miss Vance, quick question—about the rights to your designs." A staff member, who'd probably been roped into this against her will, app

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 185 Rescore

    A woman seated next to Octavia leaned forward."Miss Vance makes a solid point. If the result's disputed, let the people decide. I'd have given her a ten myself. It's stunning work."She looked right at me.I held her gaze and nodded once.The chat went wild again.[Who is that woman? She's making sense.][Is she a judge too?][Someone drop her name, she's hot][That's Rowan Hale! My idol! Did she just come back from overseas?]Dr. Dubois was sweating through her blouse.Literal sweat.It soaked the edge of her collar and glistened above her lip.She got up from her seat, approached me, then spoke in a low whisper."If you stop this now, I'll rescore your submission. A better score. Just... don't escalate it.""No. I'm not the one who started this. You did." I raised the mic. "And we still haven't talked about what you pulled backstage. You tried to smear me, so let's hear it. Go on. Tell them what happened behind that curtain."Someone shouted from the audience, "Backstage drama? Tel
