Ryder had expected Victoria to arrive sometime around nine.

But when she was running three hours late, he became nervous for some reason.

She had been on time, for their two last meetings. And her file had shown she was a punctual person. So he wondered why she hadn’t arrived.

Focusing on the work in front of him, became futile.

“Is anything the matter, sir?” Sam asked, noticing how his boss kept on tapping his foot on the floor.

“Has Victoria contacted you today?” He didn’t bother pret

    The car pulled up to her apartment building and she got out.Unlike what she had planned, she didn’t ask the driver his name. She only thanked him with a voice that came out more clipped than she intended.She climbed the stairs to her floor, already thinking about her bed, her pillow, the very real possibility of lying face down and pretending the last six hours had not happened.She unlocked her door and pushed it open.And stopped.Her apartment was full of people.Three women and one man she had never seen before in her life were standing in her living room surrounded by garment bags, ring lights, a makeup case the size of a small suitcase, and what appeared to be a whiteboard with the words PUBLIC IMAGE FRAMEWORK written across the top in red marker.Victoria looked at all of them.All of them looked back at her."Who are you people?" She said.The man stepped forward. He was tall, dressed entirely in black, with a tablet in his hand and seemed annoyed. "Miss Monk.

    Ryder Lake was a trending tag right now. Attached to it, were articles that were posted within the last hour. Most of them, multiplying by the second. And right there in half of them, captured from what looked like the entrance of Tecna Tower, was a figure in a familiar brown bag and a dark jacket.It was Victoria. The shot was angled and her face wasn’t clear but everything else was. Her bag. Her shoes. The way she walked.The headlines were absolutely mean, tearing down every bit of her. [Unknown Woman Seduces Billionaire CEO.][Gold Digger or Future Mrs. Lake?][Ryder Lake’s Mystery Woman: Who Is She and What Does She Want?][Tecna Heir Spotted With Unknown Woman]She clicked on one of them. The article had her silhouette on the front and three paragraphs speculating about who she was, where she came from, and what someone like her could possibly want with someone like Ryder Lake.The comment section was already three hundred replies deep.“Victoria.” Julie’s voice

    Show me your friend, and I’ll tell you who you are, they said.Victoria could finally testify that the maximum was true. With the way she cooked up a romantic story on the spot, you could tell her best friend was a writer a.k.a a really good impromptu liar.When Miranda demanded an explanation to who her fiancé was, and how she had met him, Victoria began the most ridiculous narration.“His name is Ryder, and I met him when I visited the zoo.”Miranda gave her a weird look. “The zoo? But you never go there because you don’t like animals.”Oh.“I was trying something new,” Victoria said, without missing a beat. “Personal growth. Stepping outside my comfort zone. You always say I should do that.”“I say you should eat breakfast every morning too. You don’t do that either.”“Grandma, do you want to hear the story or not?”Miranda folded her hands in her lap. “Continue.”“So. I was at the zoo.” Victoria cleared her throat. “And there was this moment at the penguin exhibit wher

    When Victoria left Tecna tower, there was a car arranged by Ryder, waiting with a driver inside. “Mr. Lake has designated a driver to take you wherever you need.” Sam said. The car was sleek and it felt a bit overwhelming, but she tried to act passive about it. She was going to get married to Ryder. As Mrs. Lake, even if only temporary, she’d be in the face of much more luxury. So she got in without a word, and settled in the back seat. As the car began to move, she popped open the little black box Ryder had give her.When she saw what was inside, a little gasp escaped her.“Oh.”It was a beautiful blue diamond ring. Victoria slowly picked it up. And even though she wasn’t acquainted with luxury items, she could tell this ring was top tier. Inside the box, the words ‘engagement ring’ were inscribed. Tentatively, she slipped the ring unto her finger. It was a perfect fit, and twinkled up at her. “Damn.” She muttered. She stared at it for a solid five minutes, before sh

    Victoria’s hand stilled on the strap of her bag.“Forty-eight hours.” She repeated. “Yes.”“That’s two days.”“That’s correct.” He affirmed.“I’m sorry, but I haven’t told anyone. Not even my grandmother. Not my best friend. You want me to let the entire internet find out before the people who actually know me?”“You have forty-eight hours.” He said. “Tell whoever you need to tell. But after that, it goes public. I need to establish our relationship before the next important company event.”Victoria had to stop herself from cringing at the word ‘relationship’. “You could have maybe mentioned this before I signed.”“It was in clause seven.” “Clause seven said the engagement would be made public within a reasonable timeframe.” She countered.Ryder’s eyebrows jumped a fraction. He was surprised she had that memorised. He wondered how many times she had read the contract over. It was good to have a fake wife that’s meticulous. “Forty-eight hours is reasonable.” He replied

She hasn’t.”Just as Ryder was about to instruct Sam to call her, a knock sounded on his office door. “Come in.” Ryder called.The door opened, and in walked Victoria with a brown bag slung over her shoulders.“Good afternoon.” She greeted Ryder and his assistant, walking towards his desk. Her shoulders were squared and her face pinched with some sort of tension. Ryder could already tell what she was about to say. S
