2026-04-16 02:51:53Evelyn chuckled softly. “He finally agreed to meet you.
“Andre Cole?” Vivian’s voice rose in disbelief—then delight. “The CEO of Cole Group?” “Oh my God… Mum!” Vivian squealed, her voice filled with pure excitement.How come mom? He always refused all his dates. “Are you serious?” “Of course I am,” Evelyn replied. You know I always have my way. “Do you know how many families would kill for this opportunity? The Cole family is one of the most powerful and richest in the city. If you secure this marriage… our life—” “I will,” Vivian cut in confidently. “There’s no way he won’t fall for this beauty. You just leave him to me mum.” Whose daughter am I? They both laughed. Hugging each other. My hands curled into fists at my sides as my nails dug into my palm. Andre Cole—the billionaire CEO. The man Vivian had been obsessing over for years. But she still went over to my man just to satisfy her pleasure. My stepmother had been desperately trying to connect Adrian Cole with Vivian for years now. And now… they finally had their chance. “Once you marry him,” Evelyn continued, her voice dropping into something calculating, “we have nothing to worry about for life.” My stepmother and Vivian—they’re obsessed with him because of his wealth, his power, everything they could never have on their own. And they think they can manipulate him into marrying Vivian. A slow, cold realization settled over me as a sharp smile curved my lips. They want him— It’s about time I pay you back in your own coin. The thought crystallized into action. I would take the one thing they wanted the most—the man they desired—and make him mine. Even if not forever. But enough to sting them. Enough to make them realize that I was not to be underestimated. Two hours later, I stood in front of the towering glass of Cole Group. The sunlight reflected off its surface, blinding and powerful—just like the man who owned it. My heart pounded, not from fear, but anticipation. This was insane and Reckless. Possibly the most dangerous decision I had ever made. But I had nothing left to lose and everything to prove. I didn’t have a plan beyond boldness, Lifting my chin, I walked straight inside Cole Group. The lobby was grand, polished to perfection, with an air of authority that demanded respect. Employees moved with purpose, their voices low, their steps precise. “I’m here to see Mr. Andre Cole,” I told the receptionist confidently. She looked up, surprised. “Do you have an appointment with him? You can't see the CEO without an appointment” “Yes, I do have an appointment,” I replied smoothly—even though I didn’t. I hadn’t even seen the CEO before, but I knew this was my only chance. After a moment of hesitation—and perhaps swayed by my confidence—she nodded. “Take the elevator to the top floor.” The elevator took me straight to the top floor. The doors slid open to reveal a quiet, expansive corridor and at the end stood a single set of doors. That was Adrian Cole’s office. I didn’t hesitate. I walked straight to the door I knocked once then stepped inside his office. The room was vast with high ceilings, floor to ceiling windows overlooking the city, and a very large desk. And sitting behind it was the CEO Andre Cole. He looked up from his papers and turned towards the direction I was standing. I became aware of a pregnant taut silence. Feeling absurdly compelled… I looked up and came face to face…. And the moment our eyes met— My breath hitched as his gaze locked onto me. He drew my eyes and made me stop and linger. I couldn't understand the hot feeling in my belly I was still standing! What is wrong with me? Pull yourself, Lucy.. It has to be the break up and the alcohol from last night. A strange sense of familiarity flickered… then vanished just as quickly. this was all within a nanosecond— Hello “Mr. Andre Cole,” I finally said, forcing steadiness into my voice. “May I sit?” He didn’t answer immediately. His gaze kept luck to mine. “Lucy Vale.” He said surprised. My brows furrowed….

“The person he was convicted of killing,” Song Wei said, “was a man your mother had been seeing at the same time she was involved with Daniel Eze.” “What are you saying?” Vivian asked. “I’m saying,” Song Wei said slowly, “ when your mother was young. She was working as a personal assistant — ambitious, capable, trying to build something from very little.” She paused. “She was involved with Daniel Eze at the time. Vivian stared at her. “But your mother was also involved with another man,” Song Wei continued. “A married man with money and position — “Daniel Eze found out,” Song Wei said. “There was a confrontation between the two men. It escalated. The other man died.” The silence that followed was the kind that has weight to it. “Daniel Eze went to prison,” Song Wei continued. “Your mother moved on. She eventually married Richard Vale and Built the life you grew up in.” “Built it,” Vivian repeated slowly, Her voice was completely flat. “on top of all of that.” Song Wei didn’

The photograph slipped from Vivian’s fingers. It landed face-up on the table between them — and Vivian stared at it with the particular stillness of someone whose mind was moving very fast while the rest of her had gone completely quiet. A Middle aged man— Dark eyes that held something hollowed out and weathered — the specific look of someone who had spent a long time in a confined space. His jawline was sharp beneath an unshaved face. Vivian’s brows pulled together slowly. Something about the face was pulling at her memory. The way a word sits on the tip of your tongue but completely out of reach. She leaned forward slightly. And then — it hit her. One month ago. It had been an ordinary morning Vivian had been standing just inside the front gate, adjusting the strap of her bag, half-listening to the sound of Evelyn’s heels on the pathway behind her. The taxi was already waiting at the curb. She had pushed the gate open when she noticed him. A man standing directly across

“Why did you really agree to the contract?” I asked. The question came out before I decided to ask it. He was quiet for a moment. “I told you,” he said. “It suited me.” “That’s not all of it,” I said. His jaw shifted slightly. A small acknowledgement. “No,” he admitted. “It’s not.” I waited. He set his spoon down carefully. “You walked into my office,” he said slowly, “and proposed marriage to a man you barely know. With nothing but complete honesty and a reason that had nothing to do with money or what I have." He looked at me. “Do you know how rare that is, Lucy?” I said nothing. “Every person who has ever approached me,” he continued quietly, “wanted something from the version everyone else sees. The CEO. The Cole name. What comes with it.” His eyes held mine without wavering. “You walked in wanting none of that. You wanted to protect yourself from people who had hurt you. You were completely honest about it. You didn’t dress it up or pretend it was something more acce

The photos went live at exactly nine the next morning. I was still in bed when my phone kept buzzing. I reached for it slowly — blinking against the pale morning light filtering through the curtains — as I stared at the screen with the particular confusion of someone whose brain hadn’t fully committed to being awake yet. Forty seven notifications. Then the number stopped updating and simply read — too many to display. I sat up. Margaret had sent a single message at 9:03 a.m. “Check the numbers. Today is going to be a very good day.” I opened the first article. The photo filled my screen — Andre and I on the rooftop, caught mid-laugh in that completely unplanned moment neither of us had noticed Dana capturing. His hand at my waist. My face tilted toward his. The golden light stretched long and warm across both of us The headline read — Andre Cole Is Getting Married — And His Fiancée Has Completely Stolen Our Hearts. I stared at it. Then I scrolled. Comments in the thousan

I heard them before I reached the door.Vivian’s voice — sharp and agitated — cutting through the entrance hall the moment I pushed open the front door. The particular frequency of it told me this conversation had been running for a while.I stood in the doorway for exactly one second. Then I remembered that I was done rearranging myself around this house.I walked in.My bag was over my shoulder. My eyes were fixed on the staircase at the far end of the sitting room — the most direct route to my room and the closest thing to peace this house had ever offered me. I moved through the entrance hall without breaking stride, without looking left or right.“Lucy.”Evelyn’s voice landed precisely where she intended it — right at the base of my spine.I stopped.Turned slowly.They were both seated— Evelyn arranged on the sofa with the deliberate composure of a woman who had been waiting and needed you to know it. Vivian beside her with red-rimmed eyes, holding herself together through she

The rooftop location Margaret had chosen was perfect. Golden light. Clean skyline. The kind of backdrop that made everything look intentional — I stood at the edge of it all in a dress I hadn’t chosen myself, my hair styled and pinned beautifully. I watch the photographer set up her equipment.Dana looked up when Adrian and I took our positions and tilted her head slightly — the way someone does when what they see doesn’t quite match what they expected. The first few shots were stiff. I and Adrian felt it. Dana absolutely knew it. “Okay,” she said pleasantly. Let’s start simple. She lowered her camera after the third attempt and looked at us with the patient expression of someone who had seen this before and knew exactly how to fix it. “Relax,” she encouraged, “Mr Cole, look at her like you mean it.” She shifted her gaze to me. “ Mrs Lucy — you’re standing like you’re waiting for a bus. This is your engagement shoot, not a queue.” Adrian glanced at me sideways. “

I made it to my room.The moment the door clicked shut behind me, the carefully constructed composure I had held downstairs — through the slap, through Evelyn’s words, began to fracture at the edges.I pressed my back against the door. My chest heaved. My cheek was still burning from the slap as t

He sat directly opposite me. The silence between us stretched — thick, impossible to ignore. I kept my eyes anywhere but on his face. The floor. The window. Anywhere that wasn’t him. “Why does it suddenly feel so awkward?” His voice broke the quiet so unexpectedly that I almost flinched.

The words landed quietly. But they landed everywhere. “But then I met your son Adrian.” I felt Adrian still beside me. I pressed forward before the heat rising in my chest could reach my face. “I’m not here because of what he has, Mrs. Cole. I’m here because of who he is.” I held her gaze steadi
