MARRIED TO MY ARROGANT ENEMY Chapter 42
Alexander’s POVThe world came back in blurry pieces, like a bad dream I couldn’t shake.I peeled my eyes open, squinting against the harsh afternoon light sneaking through the curtains. My head felt like it was stuffed with cotton, pounding with every heartbeat, and my mouth tasted like I’d licked the bottom of a whiskey bottle. The clock on the nightstand glowed 2:17 p.m. I’d cried myself into nothing earlier that morning, after the hotel bill had sucked the last of my fight out of me, and now I’d slept the day away. My body ached everywhere, my jaw still tender from the punch, muscles weak from days of barely eating anything but regret.I sat up slowly, the room spinning for a second before settling. The suite looked a little better now, the broken mirror and chair hauled away by maintenance after I’d paid that insane bill, but the carpet stain stared back at me like an accusation. I rubbed my face, feeling the stubble scrape my palms, and swung my legs over the side of the bed.
MARRIED TO MY ARROGANT ENEMY Chapter 41
Enid’s POV07:12 a.m. Suite 1514, Grand Regent HotelThe sun had barely crawled above the skyline, but the dining table in my living room was already a war room.Four laptops glowed in the half-light. Papers were stacked in colour coded piles. Three takeaway coffees steamed beside my three very expensive lawyers who looked like they’d been up since five (because they had). Today was the day we stopped pretending to be “mysterious supportive buyers.” Today we swallowed the rest of Kane Global in one clean bite.Alistair slid the final proxy agreement across the table. “With the 9.2 % block we secured at yesterday’s close, plus the 4.7 % through the Singapore shell this morning, we are now at 61.8 % voting control. One more purchase window opens at 16:00 London time (that’s 23:00 here).The float is thin. We can take another 12–15 % before anyone realises what’s happening. After that, you own the company outright. David Kane won’t even be able to call a board meeting without your p
MARRIED TO MY ARROGANT ENEMY Chapter 40 – The Morning After the Fall
Alexander’s POVI woke up tasting copper and regret.My mouth was a desert, my tongue glued to the roof of it. My head throbbed like someone had taken a hammer to my skull and kept swinging long after I’d passed out. Sunlight stabbed through the half-open curtains, slicing across the bed and straight into my eyes. I groaned, rolling over, and the room spun violently.For a second I didn’t know where I was.Then it hit me. I was in the Grand Regent Hotel, and in suite 1515.It's my nights of exile. And last night… last night I’d gone down to Eclipse to drown everything.I tried to sit up, but my it was a bad idea. My stomach lurched, while my legs turned to water, and I collapsed back onto the mattress with a pathetic thud. The duvet smelled faintly of something familiar (earth and pine and something warm I couldn’t place).My leather jacket was folded neatly over the chair instead of on the floor where I usually threw it. One shoe was lined up by the bed, the other missing entire
MARRIED TO MY ARROGANT ENEMY Chapter 39 – Shadows and Secrets
Enid’s POVThe hallway was dead quiet except for the soft click of 1515’s door shutting behind me.I stood there for three full seconds, back pressed to the wood, breathing hard like I’d just run a marathon. Alex’s scent (whiskey, leather, and that stupidly expensive cologne he always wore) still clung to my hoodie. My pulse was a war drum in my ears. He was out cold, and he wouldn’t remember a thing tomorrow.Good, that was the plan.But the hotel cameras weren’t drunk. Every corridor on this floor had high-definition eyes, and I’d just carried the very recognisable Alexander Kane (blood on his lip, arm slung over my shoulder) straight from the elevator to his suite. By morning it's either Alex comes looking for it or the footage would be reviewed, clipped, sold to the highest tabloid bidder, and tomorrow’s headline would scream: “Disgraced Kane Heir Rescued by his financee – Lovers’ Reunion?”I wasn’t letting that happen.I rolled my shoulders, pulled the hood lower over my f
MARRIED TO MY ARROGANT ENEMY Chapter 38 – One Wall Away
Enid’s POVThe suite smelled like printer ink, stale coffee, and too many expensive suits in one room.I had been locked in here for almost three hours with Alistair and Douglas (my Edinburgh corporate lawyers who’d flown in yesterday, from Scotland) and Mr. Chen (the best litigation shark England had to offer). Papers were spread across the dining table like a battlefield map: shareholding structures, shell-company ledgers, voting proxies, the quiet purchase orders that were slowly, silently, propping Kane Global’s stock price up from total collapse. Every time the market thought it was safe to short us another billion, another mysterious buyer stepped in and swallowed the shares. That buyer was me. And nobody except the four people in this room knew it.Alistair finally pushed his glasses up his nose and exhaled. “We’re at fifty-eight percent voting control through the shells, Mr Voss. One more quiet block tomorrow and you can call an extraordinary meeting whenever you’re ready
MARRIED TO MY ARROGANT ENEMY Chapter 37 – Drowning the Noise
Alexander’s POVI couldn’t sit in that suite any longer. The walls were closing in, the red numbers on my tablet mocking me, too. I needed to get out, to blast the silence with bass and booze until I couldn’t think anymore. The Grand Regent had a club downstairs, part of the hotel’s sprawling amenities—exclusive, overpriced, perfect for forgetting your life was imploding.But off course,I can't do this alone, I need a partner. I grabbed my phone and scrolled to Raymond’s number. We hadn’t talked since the day I left his house, but I know he was always up for a night out. He’d distract me, flirt shamelessly, make me feel wanted even if it was all bullshit. I hit call.It rang twice before he picked up. “Alex? Hey, baby. Didn’t expect to hear from you.”His voice was smooth, casual, like nothing had happened. Like he hadn’t ghosted me after Dad’s meltdown. “Raymond. You free tonight? I’m at the Grand Regent. Club downstairs. Come join me—drinks on me.”A pause, and it became longer. “
