The Bride He Bought Chapter 36
𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙍𝘼 For a moment, I'm speechless, I can’t even process what he just said. Destroy Dante Moretti. The words echo in my head like a bell, but somehow far away. Oblivious to my state of mind, Kingsley’s voice keeps going, but I can’t latch onto the meaning. His mouth is moving, I'm catching glimpses of smug smiles between sentences, but I'm not registering anything he's saying. My thudding heartbeat is almost drowning him out. My fingers curl tight in my lap. This was supposed to be a job interview. “…and the thing is, people are finally seeing him for what he is,” his voice snaps back into focus, louder now. “It’s all over the damn media. The truth’s out there. No more perfectly planned images or fake happy couple PR stunts. People aren’t buying it anymore, Alera.” He leans back like he’s just dropped a winning hand in a poker game. “You’d be smart to stop pretending you don’t know what I’m talking about.” My brows knit together. “Pretending? I came here for a job int

𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙍𝘼 It’s been really hard sitting around doing absolutely nothing while the world tears you apart behind their screens.Every morning, I wake up to a new headline, a new version of my life I don’t even recognize. Some of them say I’m a social climber. Some say I’m a gold digger who came between him and his ex partner. Others have decided I’m part of some conspiracy, like I orchestrated my own downfall just to bag a billionaire.It’s madness.These people don’t know me. They don’t know my father. They don’t know the nights I cried myself to sleep in a hospital waiting room, praying for a miracle. They don't know the weight of desperation, the kind that makes you sign your name on a contract, agreeing to marry the man you hate. And the worst part of it all?I'm completely alone in all of this.I can't talk to anyone. Not to Marisol, even though she's trying to be kind. What would I even say to her? That everything is all a contract and I'm going crazy? That my name is trending

𝘿𝘼𝙉𝙏𝙀The second the call ends, I calmly drop my phone on the marble desk. “How the fuck did this happen?” I look up, my tone hitting my target like a whip. Francesca flinches. “Sir, I don’t know. I...I have no idea how the information got out.” She’s standing across from me, tablet clutched tightly to her chest, her knuckles are pale. It's actually quite unsettling seeing her like this. Francesca is never fazed, no matter the situation she would always have the same stoic expression. But right now she's practically shivering. “You don’t know?” I echo calmly. Francesca swipes open her tablet and starts typing rapidly. “I’ve used the same sources I always use, the information on her came same channels. They’ve been vetted multiple times.” “Maybe one of them turned on you,” I say, narrowing my eyes. “Or maybe someone offered more money than I pay you.” Her face drains of color. “No, sir. That’s not possible. I trust them.” Lorenzo who I absolutely forgot is in the

𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙍𝘼I scroll.And I wish I hadn't.My breath catches as line after line of personal information slaps me across the face. My age, school records, job experiences. Photos of my late mother. They even mention her cause of death. I scroll faster, as I do, a sick twist tightens in my stomach. My father’s full name is bolded in the article, along with old financial records, dated company affiliations and then, the real punch to the gut.The name of the hospital we’re currently in.What the hell is this?Who did this?My hand trembles as I return the phone to Marisol. “I...I’ll talk to you later.”She frowns, trying to peer at the screen. “Miss Alera? What’s going on?”“I said I’ll explain later.” My voice is a little harsh, and it's causes her to flinch a little, I want to feel guilty for snapping at her considering how good she's been to my dad so far, but I can’t afford kindness right now. “Please, just go back to the room.”She hesitates before walking off, looking back at me occ
The Bride He Bought Chapter 32
𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙍𝘼 The days that follow feel like one endless and perfectly rehearsed performance. Behind the smoke screens, I'm more impressed and a little sickened by Dante's flawless execution of the plan. When the engagement was announced, I had expected whispers on the media. Some suspicion concerning the wedding and why it's so soon. Maybe even a little backlash. Instead, I step into a whirlwind of glamorized delusion, that this city willingly bought into. A fantasy that Dante and I are madly, secretly and hopelessly in love. It starts with a TV interview. Not with us, I've learnt very quickly that Dante never does press, but he somehow controls the narrative. The interview is with a fashion editor from The Style Scene who gushes about our relationship as if she’s seen us make out in real life. “They’ve been together for a while. Very lowkey. But that kiss? That's classic Dante. The Italian American business mogul has always known how to turn a moment viral.” I stare at the s

𝙉𝙄𝘾𝙃𝙊𝙇𝙀 "Give him time," Luciana said. "You know Dante. He needs space." "Don’t pressure him. That’ll only irritate him," the others added like parrots on loop. And I listened. God, I listened. For over two years, I held my tongue. Kept a low profile. I humiliated myself in every way a woman can, showing up at his office, his home, leaving messages he never returned, sending gifts that got sent back. Do you know how degrading it is to be ignored by the man who once swore he’d marry you? I thought... I thought maybe he needed to punish me. That eventually, we'll be okay. We'll be together again. Because he didn’t expose me to the family and tell them that I slept with Rowan. He did absolutely nothing. Didn't debunk the rumors with press, didn't destroy me. Nothing. And in that silence, I saw mercy. I thought I still mattered. That maybe, maybe, if I just showed him I was sorry, if I kept loving him loud enough...he’d remember what we had. But where d
