MasukI was left at the altar, humiliated in front of the world. The man I loved walked away, and with him went my reputation and my father’s company’s last chance at survival. Then came Travis Walker. Ruthless. Untouchable. A billionaire who offered me a lifeline, but at a cost: marriage. Not for love, not even for appearances. I told myself it was revenge, maybe redemption. I told myself I wouldn’t fall. But the more I tried to guard my heart, the more his touch ignited something I couldn’t resist. Just when I thought I could believe in love again, the truth unraveled. Secrets that bound Travis to my ex-fiancé, to my best friend, even to my family. The very people I trusted most. Now I have to ask myself: can I risk giving my heart to a man who might shatter me all over again?
Lihat lebih banyak~ Travis' POV ~ I loosened my tie as soon as I walked into my hotel room. It was dark but I didn't bother turning on the lights, as the curtains were up, the city light was enough to guide me around the room. I dropped my jacket and tie on the couch, got rid of my shoes and socks. Walking barefoot was one weird thing I did and I found it relaxing, always. The floor was warm from the heater despite the cold weather, I walked towards the fridge opened it and brought out a bottle of whisky. I needed some alcohol to drain the stress I had to go through and headaches from the last two days. I haven't had a proper rest, this wasn't a vacation but my anger had made me push my body to its limit. I attended meetings, conference interviews and press talks scheduled for a whole week in two days, and this third day was the worst. I had to work overnight and go through the company finance by myself. It was at the brink of bankruptcy and any time a feedback was sent it's always the economy
~Camila's POV~ I threw my coat on as I walked out of the house. Terra's eyes burned at the back of my head, I had to turn to see her staring. Guilt twisted in my chest, I knew what Travis could be like, but I couldn't disturb Mila's sleep. She needs as much sleep as she can and I quickly needed to get this done. I ordered a less attention-seeking car to be cleaned and get ready for me, after the house arrest Travis had put me under when we got married, I had learned how to bend the house to my will and controlled things around the house like a wife of a billionaire that I was. This was a secret meeting. I couldn't risk the media heating up over me meeting with a man while my husband was away. I hit the road driving through the busy city, my mind half focused on the road and half occupied with thought of how my life became this complicated. My parents wouldn't even check up on me, except, of course, my mother who called once in a while to check if I was well behaved in my marria
~ Camila's POV ~I heard the door creaked open and my heart almost jumped out of my body as Mila's cute chubby face popped out from behind the door. "Mommy," She squealed as she ran towards me. I stood frozen to a spot with wide eyes. My heart thumped loudly as she hugged my legs with cute giggles. I wasn't ready for this, I still can't believe I'm married to a pervert, so I tired so much to avoid her, I had so much on my mind and I knew she's too young to be around such toxic environment at that point. But here she is, with her big eyes pouting cutely to be carried. I bent unconsciously, my body acting on its own as I took her in my arms. Her smile grew wider as her chubby but tiny hands wrapped around my neck. "How did you get here Chumpkin?" I mumbled to myself and patted her back. Tera, Mila's nanny soon appeared at the door breathing heavily like she was being chased by a ghost. "I'm sorry ma'am," she apologised as she stepped into the room. "She wouldn't s
~ Camila's POV ~ I didn't know how long I sat down staring at nothing, my mind drifting away while I held my pen. Two days It's been two days since Travis travelled. Two days since I discovered his secret daughter. Two days since I had to think about my next move. And far more than two days of pretending I was fine while my world quietly tilted on its axis. The room was silent, except for the faint ticking of the clock on the wall. Each second passed, reminding me that time was moving even though I felt stuck. I leaned back in my chair and stared at the ceiling, my grip on the pen tightened a little as I exhaled slowly and brought my gaze back down. This constructed arrangement called marriage was never supposed to be permanent, it's meant to be simple and temporary, he gets what he wants I do and it's over. But Travis had made his stance painfully clear. He had no plans for a divorce, and that alone complicated everything. If I try to go ahead and file forcefull
~ Travis's POV ~ "Mr. Walker, so good to see you here!" I turned around to see one of the board members, Adrian."Of course." I replied sharply, slightly annoyed at the interruption. "I see you're enchanted by your wife's beauty," he said with his eye lustfully trailing after her. "I do no
~ Camilla’s POV ~ My phone buzzed loudly against the nightstand, waking me from my sleep. I groaned and buried my face deeper into the pillow, but the noise only grew insistent until I had no choice but to answer it. "Hey, sleepy head!" Olivia's loud voice blasted through the speaker as I place
~ Camilla's POV ~ I flopped on the bed as soon as I was ready for the night, wincing as the ache in my heels from standing too long finally caught up to me. Makeup gone, body wrapped in a cozy nightgown... God, I loved bedtime. I reached for my phone on the bedside. Still no reply fro
~ Olivia's POV ~ I alighted from the car in the driveway, exhausted from the day. "Olivia!"A very familiar sly voice called out as soon as I stepped into the house. Irritation seeps under my skin as I stop in my tracks. Sitting on the couch in the living room was my sister, o
