  • Signed, Sealed, Seduced?   I Barely Slept

    TIFFANYI barely slept. By morning, the story had spread everywhere I looked, my father’s name was attached to words like gambler, debt, scandal and bankruptcy, and somehow my name had become part of it. Worse still, people were calling my marriage to Damian a calculated business move. A wealthy heir marrying the daughter of a failing businessman, a convenient way to save a dying company, a perfect arrangement, except it wasn’t, at least not to me. I sat alone in the penthouse, staring at my phone, then I saw a message from Molly.“Are you okay?” I didn’t know how to answer so I didn’t, then another message appeared from Molly. “Please call me.” I locked the phone, I couldn’t talk to anyone, especially not Damian. He had left hours ago, we hadn’t spoken since the argument, part of me expected him to come back and apologize, another part of me knew better. The worst thing about our fight wasn’t that Damian had been angry, it was that his words had revealed som

  • Signed, Sealed, Seduced?   Did you know?

    TIFFANY“Did you know?” Damian’s question hung in the air, I stared at him, unable to breathe, his phone was still in his hand, the screen displaying the article that had just turned our wedding night into a nightmare. My father’s gambling, Bennett Interiors’ debt, years of financial problems, and my silence.I swallowed hard. “Damian, I…”“Did you know?” His voice was colder this time.“Yes.” The moment the word left my mouth, something changed in his face, his jaw tightened, and his eyes hardened.“You knew?”I nodded slowly. “I knew my father had a gambling problem. I found out how bad it had gotten a while ago, but…”“But you said nothing.”“I was trying to handle it.”“Handle it?”He let out a bitter laugh. “You were trying to handle it?”“I didn’t want anyone to know.”“Apparently.”I flinched.Damian stepped closer. “So let me understand this. You knew your father had gambled away company money. You knew Bennett Interiors was drowning in debt because of him. You knew

  • Signed, Sealed, Seduced?   The Reception

    TIFFANY The reception was beautiful, everything about it screamed Ashford, elegant decorations, crystal chandeliers, an enormous ballroom, flowers everywhere, champagne flowing, and guests dressed in designer clothes. I stood beside Damian and watched people congratulate us, I still couldn’t believe this was my life, at one point, I leaned toward him.“Your family went overboard.”He smiled. “This is considered modest.”I stared at him. “Modest?”“Yes.”“You have a very strange definition of modest.”He laughed. “You’ll get used to it.”I looked around. “I don’t think I ever will.”He leaned closer. “You will.” His voice dropped. “Especially once you see where you’re living.”I frowned. “What does that mean?”“You’ll find out.”“Damian.”He smiled. “Patience.”***** After hours of photographs, speeches, dancing, and endless congratulations, the reception finally began winding down, we said our goodbyes, then Damian took my hand.“Ready?”I nodded. “Where are we going?”“Home

  • Signed, Sealed, Seduced?   The Time I

    TIFFANY By the time I left the restaurant, my mind was completely exhausted. I had spent the entire evening sitting between the two most complicated men in my life. Damian, the man I was marrying tomorrow, and Leon, the man who had been my closest friend for years. I couldn’t shake the strange tension that had existed between them, it had been obvious, even I had noticed it. Damian had barely spoken during the last part of the meeting, and Leon had looked like he was deliberately trying not to provoke him. I had no idea what was going on between them, and honestly, I didn’t have the energy to figure it out. Tomorrow was my wedding… my wedding. The thought still felt unreal, I was actually getting married to Damian Ashford. A man I had met under the strangest circumstances imaginable, a man I had kissed before I even knew his name, a man I had agreed to marry because my company needed saving, and somehow, somewhere along the way, things had become complicated.

  • Signed, Sealed, Seduced?   The Next Day

    DAMIAN The next day, I changed three times, I wasn’t going to admit that to anyone, certainly not Ethan. But if I was meeting one of Tiffany’s closest male friends the day before our wedding, I wasn’t showing up looking ordinary. I wanted to look like her fiancé, not simply some man she’d agreed to marry. I chose a perfectly fitted charcoal suit, white shirt, with a dark tie, my watch, and a subtle amount of cologne, nothing excessive, but just enough. I looked at myself in the mirror, I felt ridiculous. I was preparing for a meeting like it was a boardroom negotiation, except this wasn’t a boardroom. It was Tiffany, and apparently Leon. I adjusted my cufflinks.“Get a grip,” I muttered.***** Tiffany was already waiting when I arrived. She smiled when she saw me, and just like that, all my irritation disappeared. She looked beautiful, of course she did. She was wearing a simple dress that hugged her figure in exactly the right places, her hair framed her face, an

  • Signed, Sealed, Seduced?   I Had Never

    DAMIAN I had never been particularly patient, but there were certain situations where patience wasn’t simply unnecessary, it was insulting. Ashley had crossed that line, I stood behind my desk, staring at the documents Ethan had placed in front of me. Every cancelled contract, every suspicious communication, every financial maneuver, and every connection leading back to Williams Holdings, all of it pointed in the same direction, Ashley. She had deliberately targeted Bennett Interiors, she had gone after Tiffany’s clients, she had interfered with her company’s finances, and she had done it because of me. My jaw tightened, Tiffany had been trying to handle all of this without telling me, the thought irritated me almost as much as Ashley’s actions did. I picked up my phone.“Get Ashley here.”Ethan nodded. “Immediately?”“Immediately.”He hesitated. “She may refuse.”“Then remind her that refusing isn’t going to change anything.”Ethan left. I looked at the clock. The
