Fortune ChilexTo My Dearest Readers, I owe you an apology. Since April, silence has filled the space where my words used to live—and I know I left you hanging. Life pulled me into a storm I didn’t see coming, and for a while, I lost the strength to write. But not a day passed that I didn’t think of the story… or of you. I’m back now—with renewed fire, deeper emotions, and chapters that will make the wait worth it. Thank you for your patience, your loyalty, and your hearts that never left. The story continues. I’ve returned. — Fortune Chilex

Marriage of Convenience and nothing more Chapter 21: News flash, Diana
Jason's POVWho I really loved? What the hell kind of a question was that?My voice came out low and sharp, like a knife slicing through tension. “What do you mean by whom I really loved?” I stepped closer to Diana, each footstep powered by the rage bubbling inside me. Hatred ran wild in my veins like hot lead.She took a step back, voice trembling. “Don’t come close, Jason.”I didn’t stop. I couldn’t.“You think I’m still in love with you?” I asked, eyes narrowed. “You really think you’ve still got me wrapped around your damn fingers? Do you?”I could feel it — the heat rising from my chest, burning through my throat. My fists clenched at my sides. Everything about her, her voice, her fake emotions set something dark off inside me.“Jason,” my mom tried to speak, but I threw up my hand to shut her up. Not now.I turned back to Diana. My words were fire. “News flash, Diana. I don’t love you.”Her face went pale.“There. I’ve said it. In your fucking face. I. Don’t. Love. You.”My voic
Marriage of Convenience and nothing more CHAPTER 20:Cat got your tongue?
NELLY'S POVSome questions aren’t meant to be answered—especially when the answer rips open a wound you’ve spent your whole life pretending didn’t exist.“Where are your parents?”The question hit me like a slap. Mr. Wilson’s voice was calm, almost casual, but his eyes? They were drilling holes straight through me.I froze, my hand clenching around my fork under the table. I blinked at the food on my plate but suddenly couldn’t tell rice from vegetables.“My parents…” I began, but my voice trailed off, thin and shaky.From across the table, Diana snorted. “Cat got your tongue?” Her voice was sweet poison. “He asked about your parents, dear. Or don’t you have any?”I swallowed hard, forcing down the lump rising in my throat.“I… I lost them when I was little,” I finally said, staring down at my plate. “Raised by my grandparents.”Silence.Not even the clink of a spoon.I hated talking about this—because how do you explain missing people you never really knew? My memories were made up o
Marriage of Convenience and nothing more CHAPTER 19:Enjoy the spotlight while you can
Nelly’s POVI don’t know why my stomach won’t stop churning.The mansion stood tall and intimidating under the evening sky, its perfectly trimmed hedges and glowing windows a reminder that I didn’t belong here. Not really. Not in their world of luxury, old money, and sharp tongues hidden behind polite smiles.Jason parked the car, killing the engine in silence. For a moment, neither of us moved. The tension had followed us from the apartment, clinging to the air like perfume.He finally looked at me. “You okay?”I forced a smile. “I’m fine.”That was a lie.I wasn’t fine.Not with the knot twisting in my chest, or the pit in my stomach that told me tonight wasn’t just a dinner—it was a test.He reached out and gently tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, his fingers lingering on my cheek for a beat longer than necessary.“We go in together,” he said firmly.I nodded. “Together.”We walked up to the front door, my heels clicking softly on the marble steps. When it opened, I was met wi
Marriage of Convenience and nothing more CHAPTER 18:Your husband's doing
Nelly's POVTWO DAYS LATERThe last two days had been peaceful—no drama, no awkward silences. Just soft mornings, warm dinners, and shared looks across the table that made my heart flutter. But tonight? Tonight would be different.We were heading to dinner at Jason’s parents’ place.I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my dress for the hundredth time. Not too flashy, not too plain. Just the right amount of “fake wife” mixed with “respectable daughter-in-law.”“Nelly!” Jason’s voice echoed from downstairs.“Coming!” I called back, grabbing my handbag and hurrying out.When I reached the living room, he was already by the door, keys in hand. He didn’t even look at me.“You took long enough,” he muttered, turning the knob.My smile dropped. A compliment would’ve been nice. Hell, even a smirk. But no, classic Jason—cool and distant.Still, I followed him out. The evening air brushed against my skin as we stepped into the car. I couldn’t help sneaking glances at him while he drove. T
Marriage of Convenience and nothing more CHAPTER 17: Shirtless. Barefooted.
Nelly’s POVThe faint clatter of pans woke me.At first, I thought it was a dream—one of those soft, fleeting ones you don’t want to end. But the scent of something buttery and warm floated down the hallway, and I realized it was real.I rubbed my eyes, wrapped my robe tighter, and padded out of the room.The apartment was quiet, hushed like the early moments before a city fully wakes up. Sunlight streamed through the blinds, casting gold stripes across the walls. I followed the smell toward the kitchen, heart thudding—half from curiosity, half from last night’s still-lingering emotions.Jason was there.Shirtless. Barefoot. Frying eggs.I stopped at the entrance, my fingers gripping the edge of the doorway. He hadn’t noticed me yet.His back was to me, muscles shifting with every movement, and his hair was tousled—like he’d run his hands through it a thousand times overnight. There was a tiredness in the slope of his shoulders, but his movements were careful, almost... thoughtful.He
Marriage of Convenience and nothing more CHAPTER 16:You married me, for convenience!
Nelly’s POVThe clock ticked louder than usual. I sat on the edge of the couch, arms wrapped tightly around my knees. The breakfast I made had gone cold hours ago, untouched. I didn’t even have the strength to clear it from the table.All I could think about was her—Diana.Her smug face. Her words.And Jason… walking out like I didn’t deserve answers.I waited.And waited.The sky turned orange, then grey.And finally, the door creaked open.Jason stepped in, loosening his tie like nothing had happened. He paused when he saw me sitting there, arms still folded, eyes locked on him like fire."You’re back," I said flatly.He gave a nod, ran a hand through his hair, and dropped his keys on the counter. "Yeah."“Do you have
