The Billionaire's Counterfeit Fiancee CHAPTER 7
The morning sun cut sharply through the heavy drapes of the guest suite, casting long, geometric shadows across the plush carpet. Lily sat at the edge of the mattress, already dressed in a structured, navy-blue blazer and a matching knee-length skirt that the stylists had delivered at dawn. The fabric felt stiff, unfamiliar, and entirely corporate. It was the uniform of a world she supposedly belonged to, yet she felt like an actress putting on a costume before a massive performance.She stared down at her hands, testing her fingers. No trembling today. The fear was still there, a cold weight heavy in her stomach, but the anger was beginning to take its place.A quiet knock sounded at her door."Come in," Lily called out, straightening her posture.Gideon walked in, carrying a small silver tray with a cup of black coffee and a manila folder. He offered a polite, professional nod. "Good morning, Miss Hart. Mr. Ford is waiting for you in the dining room. He requested that you look over

The ride back to Levi’s penthouse was dead silent. The heavy luxury sedan cut through the wet New York streets, the rhythm of the windshield wipers the only sound filling the space between them.Lily sat pressed against the passenger door, her hands curled into tight fists in her lap. The emerald green silk of her gown felt cold against her skin now. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Damian’s face—the absolute terror in his eyes when Levi introduced her. It wasn't just the reaction of an ex-fiancé who had abandoned her. It was the reaction of a man who thought he had successfully buried a body. He tried to kill me.The words felt heavy, crushing the air out of her lungs. She turned her head slightly, looking at the man driving beside her. Levi’s profile was illuminated by the passing streetlights, his jaw set in a hard, uncompromising line. His large hands held the steering wheel with casual authority. He looked completely unbothered, as if he hadn't just dropped a bomb on the

The Grand Ballroom of the Plaza Hotel hummed with the sound of clinking champagne glasses and low, elite chatter. It was a sea of glittering diamonds and tuxedo-clad men, but Lily could barely see any of it. Her vision was tunneling, her heart a frantic drum behind her ribs.He tried to kill me.Levi’s words from the previous night played on a brutal loop in her head. She looked down at her hands, encased in delicate silk gloves, gripping the edge of the velvet-draped balcony railing. She wore an emerald green gown that fit her perfectly, her hair pinned up elegantly, but underneath the expensive armor, she felt like she was suffocating.A heavy, warm hand settled on the small of her back. The sudden contact made her flinch, but the familiar scent of cedarwood and clean luxury instantly grounded her."Breathe, Lily," Levi’s deep baritone cut through the noise of the crowd. He was standing right behind her, his chest nearly brushing her shoulder. In his midnight-black tuxedo, he looked

The guest suite on the east wing was larger than the entire hospital ward Lily had just left behind. Silk sheets, soft lighting, and a bathroom that smelled of eucalyptus did little to calm the frantic beating of her heart.She stood in front of the vanity mirror, dressed in a borrowed silk robe that felt too smooth against her scrubbed skin. The doctor Levi had called had already left, pronouncing her physically exhausted but otherwise fine. Now, she was alone with her reflection. Without the mud and the hospital grime, her face looked painfully pale. Her eyes looked too big, haunted by a past she couldn't reach.A soft knock on the double doors broke the silence.Lily tensed, pulling the lapels of the robe tighter around her throat. "Come in."The door opened, but it wasn't Gideon. It was Levi.He had discarded his suit jacket and tie. The top two buttons of his crisp white shirt were undone, the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing strong, tan wrists. He carried a leather-b

The silence stretched between them, heavy and suffocating. Lily stared at Levi, her mind trying to process the words that had just left his mouth.Fiancée.She looked down at her damp, oversized hospital clothes, then back up at the man standing before her in a suit that probably cost more than everything she currently owned. It felt like a sick joke, a continuation of the nightmare that had started the moment she woke up in that hospital bed."Your fiancée," Lily repeated, her voice barely audible over the soft hum of the penthouse’s climate control. "You want me to pretend to be your fiancée."Levi took a slow sip of his drink, his gray eyes never leaving her face. He swirled the amber liquid in his glass, the ice clinking softly against the crystal. "It’s a simple arrangement. You need a roof over your head, protection from the people who erased you, and eventually, the truth about who you are. I need a weapon.""I’m not a weapon," Lily said, her jaw tightening. She hated how small

The warmth of the skyscraper’s lobby did nothing to stop Lily’s shivering. Her wet sneakers left muddy tracks on the polished marble floor as she struggled to keep up with the man’s long, effortless strides. He didn't look back at her once, yet his presence commanded the entire space. Security guards and receptionists bowed their heads in absolute silence as he passed.They entered a private elevator. The doors slid shut, sealing them in a quiet, glass-walled box that began to ascend rapidly.Lily pressed her back against the glass, her hands balled into fists to hide their trembling. She looked at the man standing a few feet away. Under the bright elevator lights, his profile was strikingly sharp. He was taking off his damp leather gloves, his movements slow and deliberate."Who are you?" Lily’s voice cracked, sounding incredibly small in the enclosed space. "How do you know my name?"The man didn't answer immediately. He tucked the gloves into his coat pocket, smoothed down his lape
