The night bled into dawn too fast, maybe because neither Lucy nor Austin could bear the waiting.

She could still feel it, seared into her skin: the way his grip on her hand had tightened like iron. His voice had thundered across the hall, silencing every breath.

“She is mine. Contract or not. And if you spit on her, you spit on me.” His gaze carved through the DiMarco bloodline like a blade, daring anyone to defy him. “Understand this, the DiMarco name isn’t worth the dust beneath my boots if it means sacrificing her.”

The memory still burned in Lucy’s chest, equal parts terror and awe.

The air crackled, heavy, unbearable.

Then, like a gunshot, the massive double doors banged open.

A guard rushed in, panting. “Sir, social feeds are exploding. Hashtag #DiMarcoContractMarriage is everywhere. Reporters are outside the gates, hundreds of them. They’re demanding a statement.”

Every head snapped toward Lucy. Whispers rose like a swarm of insects.

  • Married by Mistake, Loved by Fate   Chapter 109

    The Maybach eased into the glazed subterranean lot as if it owned the air. Greg stepped out, sunglasses shielding a face smudged with jet lag and victory, his suit still smelling faintly of champagne and private jets. He straightened with the practiced gait of a man trying to convince a room he’d already taken it all.“Greg Durojaiye,” the reception monitor blinked in polite sans-serif across every desk in the DiMarco tower, an internal alert with a little bell attached. The message didn’t just appear; it pulsed like an invitation to spectacle: GUEST ARRIVAL, GREG DUROJAIYE, 09:12.Maya, the receptionist, hadn’t meant for the notice to sing like that. She’d typed it in the system as a courtesy, but the sentence had slipped wry and small into the auto-broadcast: “Heads up: The dragon is in the building.” She’d hit enter and bit her lip, then watched the text ricochet across a hundred screens.By the time Greg reached the elevator, half the office had seen it.The whispers began like th

  • Married by Mistake, Loved by Fate   chapter 108

    The night had barely slept when Greg’s voice cracked through the air, smooth as poisoned silk.“Vanessa, baby… do you know what happens to queens?”She shifted against him, curious, her manicured nails playing at the collar of his shirt. “What happens?”Greg’s smile was wolfish. “They live in palaces. And they’re worshipped. Starting tomorrow, you’ll see the kind of worship you’ve only dreamed of.”Her laugh spilled out, high-pitched and greedy. “Oh, Greg, you’re insane. I love it.”He kissed her roughly, almost like he was sealing a promise he had no intention of keeping. In that moment, it wasn’t love. It was possession. A performance. And Vanessa, blinded by diamonds and the rush of power, was happy to play her part.By morning, the Maybach rolled to a stop in front of the airport’s private terminal. Greg had spared no expense: first-class tickets on a direct flight to Dubai, champagne waiting before they even boarded.“Only the best,” Greg announced, loud enough for the staff to h

  • Married by Mistake, Loved by Fate   Chapter 107

    Chapter 107The violins had softened into a lullaby, chandeliers dimming as if the night itself had sighed. Guests slipped into the corridors in glittering clusters, carrying whispers like perfume. The gala was ending, but its aftertaste was sharp in Lucy’s mouth.She clung to Austin’s arm, feeling eyes pierce her even as the crowd thinned. Somewhere behind her, cameras still flashed, hungry for just one more headline.“Keep walking,” Austin murmured, his hand steady against the small of her back. His voice wasn’t loud, it didn’t need to be. It anchored her, cutting through the noise like steel.Lucy’s throat tightened. “They’re laughing at me,” she whispered, raw, broken.Austin’s jaw flexed, his lips brushing her ear as he leaned close. “No,” he said firmly, every syllable weighted. “They’re watching me prove you’re untouchable.”Her breath hitched. The way he said it, like a vow, like a curse, it set something burning low in her stomach.By the time they reached the car, reporters

    Greg’s grin widened as the messenger slid the first heavy envelope across the table. Bold black letters on the outside read simply: GREG.He lifted it with the easy arrogance of a man who expected applause. Cameras leaned in hungrily, the room buzzing with the electric thrill of spectacle.He slit it open with a flourish. Inside: another smaller envelope.Greg smiled. “Someone’s feeling poetic today.” He plucked up the second envelope, cracking it open without hesitation. A single line was written on the page inside, neat and deliberately casual:I know you can’t wait. Open the next one.A ripple of nervous laughter moved through the boardroom the sort of nervousness that belongs to men who suddenly wonder whether the joke is on them.Vanessa leaned in, purring: “Isn’t this charming? It’s like… a scavenger hunt for a trophy.”Greg’s smirk broadened. “Exactly. Open it.” He sliced the third envelope with the tip of his finger, thinking showmanship. The third envelope produced nothing b

    The next morning, the boardroom gleamed with glass and steel, but the air was thick with something rotten. The long polished table reflected the overhead lights, but not even the shine could mask the tension humming through the walls.Outside, the flash of cameras had already set the tone. Paparazzi clustered at the building’s steps, capturing every moment as Greg strutted up with Vanessa on his arm. She paused deliberately, tilting her head just enough for the photographers to catch her diamond bracelet sparkling under the sun. Her laugh, shrill and practiced, echoed against the marble as if the day itself belonged to her.Inside, silence.Greg strolled into the boardroom like he owned the place, his arrogance louder than the click of his designer shoes against the marble floor. His suit wasn’t just tailored, it screamed excess, stitched in a shade of navy so sharp it made some of the older directors squint. He tugged Vanessa forward, displaying her as though she were part of his new

    The boardroom gleamed with glass and steel, but the air was thick with arrogance. Greg strolled in as though he already owned the place, Vanessa draped on his arm like jewelry he’d just purchased. Her diamonds flashed under the lights, her laugh cutting across the room like nails on glass.Reporters clustered at the back, cameras flashing, microphones shoved forward, hungry for scandal.Greg dropped into his new chair with theatrical ease, leaning back, hands laced behind his head. “Ah,” he sighed, smug, “finally. Balance restored. To think the empire nearly collapsed under Austin’s pride.”He raised his glass of champagne. “Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to accept my rightful seat in the DiMarco empire.”Reporters cheered, their voices a frenzy. Vanessa leaned in, kissing his cheek, her smirk sharp enough to slice Lucy open. “To the future,” she purred loudly for the cameras. “And to women who know how to stand by real power.”Lucy’s chest constricted, her pulse a war between r
