FAZER LOGINGabbyThe quiet starlight of the courtyard wrapped around us like a protective blanket, shutting out the rest of the noisy, glittering world. For a long moment, neither of us spoke. We just stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, letting the weight of our shared journey settle between us.Then, Nathan shifted, his dark eyes softening as he looked down at me with a depth of emotion that completely stole my breath away."Let's skip the games, Gab," Nathan began, his deep, steady voice washing over me like a warm wave. "Let's talk about the truth."My heart gave a heavy thump against my ribs. "Nathan...""I need you to hear me out," he interrupted gently, lifting a hand to cup my cheek, his thumb brushing a stray lock of hair behind my ear. "I have loved you for a very long time. In fact... I think I started falling for you from the very first day you walked into my life. When you marched right up to me and gave that one thousand dollar deal, completely clueless about who I was or wha
GabbyAs the rest of the high-society crowd slowly drifted back inside the warm, glittering ballroom to escape the growing evening chill, the grand courtyard grew wonderfully quiet. A few lingering reporters packed up their heavy camera rigs in the distance, leaving Nathan, Khloe, and me standing beside the breathtaking, midnight-blue Rolls-Royce.I stood there in a complete haze, my hand resting gently against the cool, glossy metal of the bonnet. The reflection of the starlight bounced off the polished paint, glowing like something straight out of a fairy tale. I looked up at Nathan, my heart swelling with an overwhelming mixture of disbelief, gratitude, and intense affection."Nathan..." I murmured, shaking my head as a soft, helpless laugh escaped my lips. "Why are you doing all of this for me? Why are you just... spoiling me like this? It's too much. It really is."Nathan turned his head to face me, his dark eyes sparkling under the warm courtyard lanterns. His hands rested comfo
Joel My breath hitched painfully in my throat the exact moment the heavy double doors of the grand ballroom swung open. I was standing near the central champagne fountain, holding a glass of wine I couldn't even bring myself to drink, when Gabby walked into the room. For a full second, my heart completely stopped beating. She looked... unbelievable. She was draped in a fiery crimson silk gown that hugged every single inch of her full body before cascading to the floor like liquid fire. The rich fabric clung tightly to her broad hips, outlined the dip of her waist, and showed off the lush, gorgeous curves of her chest. I stared at her, my mind spinning into pure madness. God, those same full curves were the exact ones I used to curse at. When we were together, I had called her too big, told her she needed to lose weight, and made her feel ashamed of her body just to keep her small and insecure. I had convinced myself that her thickness was a flaw, forcing her to hide behind
GabbyMy face was burning so hot I felt like I was going to melt right there on the shiny wooden stage.Down near the front table, Khloe was grinning like a cat that had just stolen a thick slice of cheese. She was tapping her silver spoon against her crystal glass, making a loud, ringing sound that caught everyone's attention. She didn't care about all the rich people around her; she just kept cheering at the top of her lungs."Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"Within seconds, the whole room joined in. Hundreds of rich businessmen, famous investors, and news reporters started clapping their hands and shouting the exact same thing. The noise was so loud it bounced off the high ceiling.I looked down at Khloe, waving my hands frantically near my stomach to tell her to stop. ‘Please, Khloe, stop it! I am dying of shame here!’ I begged her with my eyes. But she just gave me a naughty little wink, laughed, and cheered even louder.Every single pair of eyes in the hall was locked on me and Nathan.
NathanI could feel every eye in the grand ballroom burning into my back, but the only sight that mattered was the woman pressed against my side.Gabby was breathtaking. She moved with an effortless, regal beauty that completely commanded the room, her full curves draped in the crimson silk dress I had picked for her. She probably thought she was the lucky one—standing beside a powerful CEO whose name opened every door in the city. But the truth was entirely the opposite.I was the lucky one.I had built an empire out of numbers, corporate warfare, and steel, yet none of it compared to the quiet, brilliant strength of the woman holding my arm. The more I tried to pull back and play the reserved executive, the more intensely my feelings consumed me. She wasn't just a partner or a compliance lead; she was the only person who saw straight through my walls."Stay close to me," I murmured against her ear, feeling the soft tremble of her body as we moved through the elite crowd."Always," s
GabbyNathan slowly pulled back, his large hands lingering warm and firm against my waist for a long, breathless second before he finally composed himself. His usual cool, untouchable executive aura slipped completely, replaced by a raw, dark intensity that sent my heart racing against my ribs."I... I'm sorry about that, Gabby," Nathan murmured, his voice low and gravelly as he cleared his throat, trying to regain his composure. "I just... I couldn't hold back."My stomach flipped wildly, a wave of breathless warmth washing through every inch of my body. My inner emotions were a chaotic storm—part of me was utterly shocked by his sudden display of public affection, but a deeper, sweeter part of me thrilled at the fact that I had made the powerful Nathan Vanny lose his grip yet again."It's... it's fine," I stammered softly, looking up at him through my lashes.Nathan’s dark eyes dragged slowly up my body, drinking in every single detail—from the glossy waves of my hair down to the wa
