Oliver’s POV

She hadn't stopped fidgeting since we stepped into the back of the car at two-forty-five.

Elena sat pressed as far against the passenger door as humanly possible, her hands tightly clutching her handbag, her eyes darting nervously out the window. Every single time I adjusted my posture or shifted my legs, she flinched like a startled cat.

I sat back against the leather seat, resting my chin in my hand, keeping my face smooth while enjoying the utter chaos playing out inside her hea

    Oliver’s POVI watched the exact second the light went out in Elena’s eyes.When Camilla leaned over our table, chattering about Paris and old times, I felt the shift in the booth beside me. Elena didn't snap or glare the way she had at Ms. Harrison that morning. Instead, she retreated. She pulled inward, her shoulders tensing, her fingers tightening around her water glass, building an invisible fortress of ice around her heart.I cut Camilla and Alistair off as quickly and politely as humanly possible, sending them packing back toward the bar. But the damage to Elena’s mood was already done.For the rest of dinner, even as Chloe chattered happily about her first day of seventh grade, Elena was miles away. She smiled when she was supposed to, nodded at the right moments, and kept her voice soft, but her eyes remained guarded and distant. She had looked at Camilla's designer dress, her effortless high-society grace, and her shared history with me, and she had drawn a hard, painful conc

    Elena’s POVThe suffocating scent of expensive floral perfume hit me before I even had a chance to look up. It was a rich, heavy fragrance—the kind that screamed absolute wealth and old money.I turned my head and felt my chest tighten instantly.Standing right beside our booth was a stunning woman in a backless silk cocktail dress. Her dark hair was styled into flawless, glossy waves, and her skin looked like it had been sculpted by an artist. Every line of her posture oozed effortlessly high-class elegance.And she had just leaned down and pressed two intimate, lingering kisses onto both of Oliver’s cheeks.My hands clenched under the table, my fingernails digging into the soft leather of my purse. A cold, harsh wave of reality washed over me, instantly freezing the warm, fluttery feeling that had been blooming in my chest all afternoon.What were you thinking, Elena? I chastised myself bitterly. Look at her. This is his world. These are his people.I had spent the last twenty-four

"Oh! Yes. I... I had to meet up with my best friend. - Maya. We go way back. From college."He knew she was just blabbing to fill up any silence."I see," I nodded smoothly. "I hope everything is fine?""Yes! Everything is completely fine. Great, actually." She offered a tight, overly bright smile that lasted for all of two secon

    Elena’s POVThe moment Oliver dropped me off at the entrance of Wyatt Enterprises, I practically sprinted inside, my heels clicking frantically against the polished marble floor.My heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to burst right out of my chest. Between the kiss in the limousine last night, Oliver showing up to take Chloe to school, Ms. Harrison’s infuriating flirting, and me blurted out that he was handsome—my brain was in absolute shambles.I rushed into my office, pulled out my phone with trembling hands, and pulled up my chat with my best friend, Maya.Elena: Maya, I need to speak to you as soon as possible. Please tell me you're free today.Not even two minutes later, my phone buzzed on the desk.Maya: Girl, what happened?! Are you okay? I'm free during my lunch break. Meet me at the café down the street from your office at twelve-thirty!Elena: I'll be there. It's an emergency.The next four hours were a complete blur of me staring at spreadsheets, pretending

    Oliver’s POVWhen Ms. Harrison stepped down the school stairs and glided straight toward me, I already knew the routine.I had been dealing with women like her for my entire adult life. It was always the same rehearsed sway of the hips, the overly bright smile, and the subtle, calculated move to step into my personal space. When her hand reached out and touched my arm, my knee-jerk reaction was to take a step back and shut it down immediately.But then I saw Elena.Out of the corner of my eye, I caught the exact moment her head snapped up. Her body went completely stiff. Her jaw locked, her fists clenched inside her jacket pockets, and her eyes burned with a fire I had never seen before.She was furious. She was glaring at Ms. Harrison’s hand on my sleeve like she wanted to tear it off.An amused smile almost slipped across my face, but I kept my mouth shut and stayed still. I wanted to see how she was going to play it.Before I could say a word, Elena took a bold step forward, slotti

  • Playboy CEO Contract Wife    CHAPTER 38

    Elena’s POVMy alarm went off at six in the morning, but my eyes were already wide open, staring up at the ceiling.I had barely slept three hours. Every time I closed my eyes, the memory of the limousine came rushing back—Oliver’s hands on my waist, the dark hunger in his eyes, the taste of wine on his lips, and the humiliating way I had scrambled out of the car like a frightened rabbit.Adrenaline, I reminded myself bitterly, sitting up and burying my face in my hands. You told him it was just adrenaline. Stick to the story.I swung my legs out of bed and rushed down the hall to wake up Chloe. But when I pushed her bedroom door open, I stopped in my tracks.Chloe was already fully dressed in her new school uniform—a navy blue pleated skirt, a crisp white button-down shirt, and a neatly knotted green tie. Her hair was brushed into two neat braids, her new backpack was sitting by her feet, and she was currently struggling to pull her second white sock over her heel.I blinked in shock
