Elena’s pov The car ride felt longer than it should have. The silence in the car held longer as Adrian's last words lingered heavily in the air.I stared out of the window, watching the city lights slide past my dress.“What did you mean?” I finally asked.“Huh?” Adrian blurted“You said I didn't have any choice— what did you mean?” I finally asked.Adrian didn't look at me immediately, instead, he adjusted his cuffs off his sleeve with the same calm expression.“It means,” he started, “ that tonight changed a lot of things.”“How?”He turned his head slightly as he met my gaze.“Half of the people in that ballroom work with me.” His voice was soft.My stomach tightened as I watched him continue.“So?” “So by tomorrow morning,” he continued, “every major business circle in this city will believe you're my wife.”The weight of that statement suddenly sank slowly in my chest.“You announced that in a room full of people,” I murmured and he nodded.“Yes.”“And you expect me to just…. g

Elena's pov.The ballroom doors closed loudly behind us and just like that, the noise of Matteo and Sofia's engagement party disappeared. The hallway outside was quiet— almost too quiet and for the next second, neither I nor Adrian said a word.We both walked side by side through the hotel corridor, along with the soft muffling of our footsteps . My heart was still racing and everything that had just happened replayed in my mind like a storm I couldn't escape.From the accusations to the humiliation—and down to the way Adrian had walked in and turned the entire room upside down with that one sentence.“Taking My Wife Home….” Jeez.. it kept ringing in my head .I finally stopped Walking and Adrian? He had already taken an extra step before he realized that I wasn't beside him anymore.He slowly turned towards me, as his eyes grew with concern.“What is it?”I stared at him confused. “You can just go around saying things like that. ““Like what?” He asked, his expression still calm lik

Elena's povThe entire ballroom fell silent.Every pair of eyes were now turned towards the entrance, he was framed by the golden light of the hallway.Dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, different from what he had on earlier. It made him look even more intimidating than he had been at the penthouse.Whispers immediately rippled through the crowd.“Is that–”“Adrian?”“It's Adrian Laurent…”“What is he doing here?”Even the staff near the door froze, because men like Adrian Laurent didn't attend small engagement parties.Men like him owned the buildings where these kinds of parties were held.Matteo’s face immediately drained of color as he noticed the man by the door.“Shit,” he muttered under his breath.Sofia's confident smile faltered slightly as Adrian began to walk into the ballroom. His steps were slow and controlled.And somehow, the room seemed to shift around him as he moved.The guest instinctively stepped aside, like people parting for a storm.I stood there frozen in th

Elena's povThe elevator ride down felt unreal.The glass walls reflected my face over and over agian—I was now pale, shocked and my feelings?— hollow.A woman who had just discovered that the man she loved had traded her like a merchandise.And even worse….He was celebrating his engagement to her sister while she stood in another man's penthouse. My hand tightened around my purse. Inside it, was my engagement ring which now felt heavier than before.As if it carried all the weight of the lie Matteo had ever told me.When the elevator doors opened into the lobby, the receptionist glanced up again.Her polite smile returned.“Good evening , Miss Rivera.”I nodded stiffly and walked towards the glass doors.Outside the building, the cold night air slapped my face and for a moment there, i just stood on the side walk, staring up at the towering building behind me.I could have just gone home, crawled onto my bed and pretend none of those happened.But the thought of it, made something

Elena's pov,For a moment there, I couldn’t breathe.My eyes were glued on the phone screen.It was Matteo, my sister. Holding hands and standing beneath a banner celebrating their engagement.“No,” I whispered.The words escaped my lips before I could stop it.“Nah… this isn't real.”But Adrian did not say a word, he simply watched me carefully, like he was observing a storm unfold.My hands began to shake as I reached for the phone.“Let me see.” I said, stretching my hands towards him.He handed it over to me without resistance. The image filled the screen and it wasn't blurry, nor was it fake.The ballroom was decorated with white roses and golden lights. The guest were gathered around them, smiling and clapping.And right there at the centre—Matteo was standing proudly beside my sister, Sofia.Her hand rested possessively on his arm, and right there on her finger was a diamond ring.A larger one than mine–could you believe that?My chest tightened so painfully I thought somethin

Elena's pov,The silence between us stretched.Adrian Laurent stood only a few feet away, watching me like I was some kind of strange puzzle he couldn't quite solve.It made my skin itch, I shifted slightly under his gaze.“You said this night became interesting , “ I said carefully. “Why?”Adrian's lips curved faintly.Instead of answering, he walked past me towards the bar near the window.“Drink?” he asked.“No.”I watched him pour himself another glass of whiskey anyway. The ice clinked softly as he swirled it.“You're nervous,” he said without looking at me “I think that's a normal reaction,” I replied.“That depends.”“On what?”“On whether you came here willingly.”My chest tightened again.“I told you already. I did.”Adrian turned, then he leaned casually against the marble counter.His gaze swept over me slowly—this time it was not in a crude way, but I was careful.Like he was studying something rare.“You ‘re not dressed like someone who came here willingly,” he said.I g
