Elara's POV,

I had called my grandmother after Ryan left to confirm what he said about the foundation, and of course, he was right. It annoyed me so badly that no one had bothered telling me anything beforehand, that I was simply expected to show up and do whatever had already been decided for me.

I had classes, assignments, an actual life outside of my family's expectations, but according to my grandmother, none of that was as important as my duty as the future Mrs. Whitmore. I was still expec

  • My Fiancé's Father Wants Me   CHAPTER 13

    Elara's POV,It was finally Friday, and for the first time all week I didn’t have any classes, meetings, or family obligations waiting for me, which meant I could spend the day doing one of my favorite things in the world, shopping on Fifth Avenue with absolutely no guilt attached to it.Paul walked a few steps behind me carrying several shopping bags already, his expression as unreadable and intimidating as always despite the fact that he had spent the last hour patiently standing outside changing rooms while I debated between nearly identical shades of cream heels.I had decided this morning that I was done thinking.Done worrying.Done replaying every reckless decision I had made over the last few weeks.Ryan was living his life exactly the way he wanted to, so maybe it was time I tried doing the same.Even if living my life unfortunately included his father.The thought should have horrified me more than it did.I knew what Victor and I were doing was wrong. I knew it every single

  • My Fiancé's Father Wants Me   CHAPTER 12

    Elara's POVI spent the next few days deeply disappointed in myself while simultaneously avoiding both Victor and Ryan, which should have been easier than it actually was. Ryan and I still texted regularly, though never about anything important, just casual conversations and updates that felt almost painfully normal considering everything I now knew about him. Victor, on the other hand, had called only once, and I never returned it.What happened in his house, with his son downstairs and our families practically intertwined already, should never have happened. I knew that. I knew it in the rational part of my brain that still remembered who I was supposed to be, but somehow every time I found myself near Victor, all of that disappeared. Every sensible thought vanished the second he looked at me too long or stood too close. Around him, I became someone reckless, someone impulsive, someone who stopped caring about consequences and only cared about the way he made me feel.It terrified m

  • My Fiancé's Father Wants Me   CHAPTER 11

    Elara's POVI didn’t have any meetings with Ryan for the rest of the week, which meant I had absolutely no reason to return to the Whitmore estate. Honestly, I was relieved about that because seeing Victor there every time was becoming dangerous in a way I didn’t want to think too hard about.I was avoiding my grandmother too, which meant I didn’t go home that weekend either.Lila and I were stretched across my bed Saturday afternoon trying to decide what to do with the rest of the day when my phone rang unexpectedly.It was Ryan’s aunt.Apparently, the foundation planners had an update and wanted to know whether Ryan and I would be available for a quick meeting that afternoon at the Whitmore estate. I told her it was fine with me but that I needed to call Ryan first since he apparently wasn’t answering her calls.I already had a feeling I knew why.Ryan answered on the second ring.“Heyyyy, Lars,” he greeted excitedly, and I could instantly tell he was at least a little drunk.I glan

    Elara's POV,I had called my grandmother after Ryan left to confirm what he said about the foundation, and of course, he was right. It annoyed me so badly that no one had bothered telling me anything beforehand, that I was simply expected to show up and do whatever had already been decided for me.I had classes, assignments, an actual life outside of my family's expectations, but according to my grandmother, none of that was as important as my duty as the future Mrs. Whitmore. I was still expected to graduate college, maintain the perfect public image, and somehow seamlessly prepare to become a wife at the same time, as though all of it should come naturally to me simply because I was born a Sinclair.Lately, I had been feeling increasingly frustrated with my life, with the fact that so much of it had already been mapped out before I was old enough to understand what it meant. Moments like this always made me wonder what things would have been like if my parents had lived. Would they

  • My Fiancé's Father Wants Me   CHAPTER 9

    Elara's POV,The Whitmore event happened almost a week ago, and my life seems to have gone back to normal. I haven't heard from Victor, which is a good thing, I tell myself. It means we're getting past what happened between us, keeping a safe distance because we'll be family soon. I have been hearing quite a lot from Ryan, though, which is weird because even though Ryan and I were friendly with each other, we weren't the type that talked every day or even a lot. Also, I knew what he really thought of me, so we didn't exactly need to pretend anymore.My days had slipped back into routine without asking for permission, filled with lectures, assignments, and long walks across campus that should have cleared my head but never quite managed to, because no matter how much I tried to focus on what was in front of me, my thoughts had a way of drifting back to things I had no business revisiting.Or rather—someone.I hadn’t heard from Victor since that night, and by every reasonable measure, t

  • My Fiancé's Father Wants Me   CHAPTER 8

    Elara's POVThe next day, I had a full glam squad help me and grandmere get ready for the Whitmore event. By the time we arrived at the Whitmore estate, Guests were already arriving in a steady flow, luxury cars pulling up one after another, attendants opening doors, voices blending into a low hum of conversation and laughter that carried through the evening air. The venue was glowing softly, perfectly decorated.I stepped out beside my grandmother, smoothing my hands lightly over the emerald dress, the fabric catching the light just enough to draw attention.“Stand straight,” my grandmother murmured softly beside me, her tone always serious, and I adjusted instinctively, lifting my chin just slightly, my posture falling into place without thought seamlessly because this isn't new to me.“Yes, Grandmère,” I replied, my voice calm.She glanced at me then, her eyes scanning me from head to toe, assessing, approving, before giving a small nod that told me I had done well.“You look beaut
