BEN POV

Maybe I had reached my breaking point this time around.

The news about my adoption seemed to be making matters worse, and for a split second, I almost thought I had lost my damn mind.

My grandfather’s words still cut deep, and they kept repeating over and over in my head until I had reached the peak of insanity.

I sighed deeply and pulled out my phone.

I wanted answers from my so-called mother, but I didn’t mean to be ungrateful; after all, they raised me and gave me this life. Nevertheless, it felt like I was never their daughter but just a charity case.

Fuck it.

I was going to do it.

I was done playing safe.

I dialed her number, and she picked up on the third ring.

“Benedykta?”

I smiled to myself.

How could she pretend for so long?

She was acting like a saint, blackmailing me to help my dad pay back the debt if I married Nolan, but little did I know that every single action was for their personal gain.

I was nothing but a mere puppet in their game.

  • LOVE FOR SALE    False God

    BEN POV I looked at him like my world ended with him. Ambrose Esteban was the love of my life. Every conversation felt like a decade hadn’t passed. The memories were still raw, and I couldn’t help but look at him. I really thought he was gone, and seeing him again, well and alive, was a little overwhelming. Seeing him close with Alessia was warming my heart. I’d always wanted them to have a special relationship. Couldn’t he see the resemblance? Alessia Marie looked exactly like him. There was a knock on the door, and I wiped away my tears, snapping back to reality. “Mommy?” It was Alessia. I opened the door and found her dressed in her Hello Kitty pajamas. She had two mismatched ponytails. One was high, and the other was low. “I need your help.” I couldn’t suppress my laughter. I burst out laughing as Alessia walked in with a huff. I closed the door and spun around, meeting her gaze. She looked away as I took my hairbrush out of my suitcase, whi

  • LOVE FOR SALE    Memories

    AMBROSE POV The sunset seemed to have chosen the perfect time to illuminate the vineyard, and the view was spectacular. It was one of the reasons I used to miss Italy despite moving to America. After the operation, I lost myself, and everything felt foreign to me. I didn’t even know my own name. I only recognized people through the pictures shown to me. In my previous life, I was married to the love of my life, Katherine, a tourist who came to explore the vibrant culture of Italy, and she captured more than pictures. She won my heart. I haven’t seen her since I returned from the hospital. Mateo has always promised to share the truth with me when the time was right. Katherine and I had a son together. His name was Nolan, and he was married to a woman in New York, and they had a daughter together. I didn’t even know my daughter's name, and I’ve never seen a picture of her. I was carrying two buckets filled with grapes when I saw Mateo at a distance. He was talkin

  • LOVE FOR SALE    To ruin a friendship

    NOLAN POV Maybe it was the alcohol rushing to my head, but she looked more radiant than ever, and my gaze lingered a little longer. She swallowed hard and began to pick up the scattered papers, which were now all over the floor. I offered to help, and once we were done, our eyes locked again. “Sorry, sir.” Mr. Rebel cleared his throat, and I turned to look at him. “This is Rosie. She recently joined us, and she’ll be working as a new personal assistant since Kayleigh decided to have kids instead of doing her job,” he muttered coldly. I forced a smile, extending my hand to Rosie. “My name is Nolan, but you can call me Mr. Esteban.” She grasped my hand. It still fit in mine just like I remembered from years ago. She smiled and pulled away, excusing herself. Once she was gone, Mr. Rebel gave me a knowing look. “You know how I feel about work relationships… but I want you to pursue whatever is going on between you and Rosie.” I choked in disbelief. “That’s ag

  • LOVE FOR SALE    Meeting my rebound

    NOLAN POV I was back at the empty apartment I once shared with my wife and Alessia. Looking at the way things went down, she was no longer my wife. She wanted to be with another man. When will I ever learn? That man was none other than my father. The house felt cold, and each room was filled with undying silence. Once again, I had lost everything I had worked hard to achieve. I was back where I started. When I walked away, I was hoping that Ben would stop me and tell me that we could work things through. But she didn’t even try. She had made her decision. I poured my heart into work and didn’t give myself a chance to feel heartbroken or disappointed. Later that next morning, I decided to call Ben’s mother and ask how she was doing. She picked up on the first ring. “Nolan, my dear, how are you?” I forced a smile. “I’m alright, thanks. How are you?” “Okay, dear.” “Can I talk to Ben or Alessia? I can’t seem to get through to them.” She paused. “O

  • LOVE FOR SALE    The fate of Ophelia

    BEN POV I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself. I had always known the truth for a long time; I just didn’t want to admit it. It was always Ambrose. Even in death, he still owned my heart. Somehow, I had convinced myself that Nolan could fill that void, but even after all these years, the thoughts of Ambrose still consumed me. I still remembered every single thing about him. Just like that, I had lost Nolan. The man who put aside his happiness just to make me happy. I felt guilty. I felt guilty for not fighting for our love. For not fighting for our marriage. I had made up my mind. I was going to see Ambrose in Italy no matter what. I wiped my tears away. I couldn’t let Alessia see me this way. I took a deep breath and went back inside. Alessia looked up, meeting my gaze. “Where is Uncle Nolan?” she asked curiously. I forced a smile. “He had an urgent meeting he had to attend.” She frowned. “I heard everything, Mom… I heard the two o

  • LOVE FOR SALE    The summer I turned pretty

    BEN POV I deserved to know the truth. I deserved to know why Nolan chose to keep me in the dark for all these years. It’s been a week since I moved in with my mother, and Alessia Marie was coping with the change of environment. I didn’t want any of this to affect her, but I couldn’t be in the same room with Nolan. This whole time he has been putting on a fake front at my own expense. I was still pissed off. Being in the same space as my mother, I got to witness one of her late date nights. The mere thought made me cringe. “Benny honey, how long are you going to ignore your husband?” I groaned deeply. “Please don’t call him that.” She shrugged carelessly. “He’s been sending you flowers all week, and I’m running out of room in my house. I know you’re still upset with him, honey, but you need to talk to him.” I sighed softly. She had a point. I wanted to know the truth, but at what cost? The truth was going to break me. I nodded quietly, wrapping the com
