Episode 14 - The Merger Deal Success

Camila's POV

It was at night the final signatures hit the paper, sealing the billion-dollar merger that had consumed our lives for months.

I sat at the head of the table with my pen still warm in my hand as I watched everyone celebrate joyously.

People shook hands and then the handshakes turned into backslaps. Suddenly, a champagne sork popped with a sharp crack somewhere at the end of the room. And laughter echoed

    Chapter 14 — Elena's POV We had gone back to the penthouse hours later and Roman had bathed and fed me. The next morning, I woke up and the penthouse felt different. It felt lighter and warmer, mostly because I woke up to Roman's warm breath against my neck. His hand was splayed possessively across my stomach and for a long moment, I just lay there, letting myself believe that this right here, was real. And that I wasn't going to wake up and find it all gone. Then Roman stirred, opening his eyes and then pressing a kiss to my shoulder, and he murmured. “We have an event tonight. My grandmother's birthday dinner”. I groaned, eyes closed. “Do I have to?”. “Yes”, he said and his hand slid lower. “But first, you need training”. “Training?”. He didn't answer, just rolled out of bed, gloriously naked, and tossed a garment bag onto the mattress. “Formal Chinese banquet. There's protocol, seating order, chopstick etiquette. Which hand to hold your tea cup”. He grinned. “I'

    Chapter 13 — Roman's POVSomething inside me shattered immediately the door clicked shut behind Elena.I stood there, in my own fucking living room, staring at the door like it had stolen something from me. My mother was still there. I could feel her eyes on me, and I could feel the judgement radiating off her like heat.She was saying something. I could hear the words but they didn't register. She was saying something about doing what was best for the family, about protecting my reputation, and about that woman not being worth the scandal."Roman—"."Get out". "Don't speak to me like that—"."Get. Out". I turned to face her, and whatever she saw in my eyes made her step back. “You’ve done enough”.She opened her mouth but closed it. For the first time in my life, I wat he's my mother choose silence over victory. She picked up her purse, walked to the door, and left without another word.

    Episode 12 — Elena's POVI saw it first on my phone.It was a notification from some gossip app I had never downloaded. The headline hit me like a slap:Who Is Roman Cortez's Mystery Fiancée? Inside the Gold-Digger's Desperate Climb.My hand went cold but I clicked anyway.The article was vicious and a full spread with photos of me leaving his penthouse, walking into a coffee shop, and standing outside my old apartment building.They had dug up everything: my family's modest home in New Jersey, my mother's job as a nurse, a d the fact that I had been evicted from my previous apartment for non-payment.They painted me as a social climber, a manipulator, a woman who had set her sights on Roman Cortez and wouldn't let go until she had his money in her bank account.Sources close to the family say Mrs. Cortez is deeply concerned about her son's choice."Roman has always been cautious wit

    Episode 11 — Elena's POV I woke up in Roman's bed the following morning. It was the morning after the fight and his arm was wrapped around my waist and his lips pressed against my shoulder. I could feel the warmth from his body. He kissed the back of my neck, and I felt his cock hardening against my thigh. "Good morning", he murmured. "Good morning". Neither of us said I love you, neither did we say what we were. I rolled over and looked at him. My eyes trailed his stubble, his sleep-tousled hair, and those dark eyes that were watching me like I was something rare. "I like this", I said quietly. "Whatever this is". He pulled me closer. "Me too". And that was it. There were no labels, nor definitions. Just us... _________ We became inseparable after that. We always had breakfast together with him in his undershirt and me, wearing one of his button-downs, both of us stealing bites off each other's plates. He would work from home more often, setting up

    Episode 10 — Elena's POV I had to prove that I wasn't just some pretty accessory Roman has rented. That was why I had spent all morning preparing for the board meeting I had researched the merger, prepared notes on the synergy between his hotel chain and my event planning expertise. I had ideas that were worth millions. Later, I arrived at the company and as I walked into the boardroom, the cold engulfed me as well as the sterile eyes of ten men in thousand-dollar suits who were staring at me as Roman introduced me as his fiancée. Then he dismissed me almost immediately after the introduction with a wave of his hand. I stepped away to the side as he continued speaking. "Elena will be handling the gala logistics for the merger announcement", he said. "She's an event planner who

    Episode 9 — Roman's POV I couldn't focus at work in the days that followed. That night, I was sitted in my office chair staring at the quarterly reports I was supposed to review but I hadn't been able to concentrate. Those quarterly reports just blurred on my screen. The numbers I had analyzed a thousand times, now looked like meaningless symbols because the only image my brain wanted to process was her. Elena. Not the numbers. Not anything else but her. My brain wanted to process the curve of her spine as she had walked out of the elevator the previous week during our fake engagement party, while my cum dripped down her thigh. I had lied to myself...told myself that it was performance anxiety. After all, the engagement party had gone well and the press ate it all up. But somethin
