The CEO’s Unlikely Fiancée First Kiss
Chapter 45Lyra“Lean down,” I instructed, “your head’s not in the frame.”He obliged, tilting his tall frame closer to me.I smiled widely for the camera, but Roman’s expression was still… well, Roman. I lowered the phone and raised an eyebrow. “Can you smile?”“I am smiling,” he said, his face still stoic. “This is my smiling face.”My eyes widened in mock disbelief. “Oh, really? Then I am dying to see you laugh.”He didn’t respond, but his eyes glinted with something that might’ve been humor—or maybe I was just imagining it.“Seriously, Roman,” I said, reaching up impulsively. Before I could stop myself, I placed my thumb and index finger on his face, gently pulling his lips upward into a makeshift smile. “There! Now you’re smiling.”The camera clicked.I pulled back, holding the phone up to show him the picture. “Look! It’s so cute!” I chirped, grinning at the sight of his forced grin and my delighted face next to it.Roman glanced at the screen and then back at me, his expression
The CEO’s Unlikely Fiancée V-Day
Chapter 44LyraThe sun was golden on the horizon, casting its glow over the Maldives beach. Everywhere I looked, couples seemed to be lost in their own little worlds, wrapped up in the spell of Valentine’s Day. Some were lounging on sunbeds, whispering and laughing softly, while others were playing in the waves, their joy echoing in the air.One couple was painting a shared canvas on the beach, splashing bright colors that probably wouldn’t make sense to anyone but them. Another was dancing barefoot in the sand to a soft tune played by a guitarist nearby. There were even a few couples doing yoga poses together, balanced and serene.It was like love was the theme, and Roman and I… well, we weren’t exactly exuding it.I glanced up at him as we walked. His jaw was tight, clenched like he was trying to grind his way through this day. I felt his grip on my hand—firm but a little too practiced, like he was holding on because he thought he had to, not because he wanted to.Slowly, I let my

Chapter 43Lyra“Lyra, are you done?” Roman’s voice called from outside.My heart jumped. “Y-yeah, you can come in,” I replied, slipping my phone into my clutch.The door opened wider, and I expected Roman to walk in. Instead, the first thing I saw was a massive bouquet of red roses—a showstopper of a bouquet, more extravagant than anything I’d ever received in my life.My jaw dropped. This has more roses than Ethan gave me in four years of relationship.Roman stepped in behind the bouquet, holding it awkwardly, his expression as composed as ever. “This is for you. Happy… Valentine’s Day.”His delivery was so stiff, I had to stifle a laugh. It sounded like he’d practiced the line a hundred times, and the words still felt foreign to him. Like he’d just debugged a Valentine’s script in his brain.Still, the gesture was… sweet. Surprising, but sweet.I took the bouquet, my hands sinking slightly under its weight. “Thank you, Roman. That was… nice of you.”If this had been real—if he had

Chapter 42LyraThe soft morning light filtered through the curtains, and I stirred, running a hand through my tangled hair as I slowly woke up. Still half-asleep, I clipped my hair back messily, my mind not quite caught up with the day yet. That’s when I caught it—a scent. Familiar, but not one I was used to.Roman.I froze, and reality rushed back in a wave. My heart thumped erratically as I glanced around. The red-and-white Valentine's-themed room served as a stark reminder of the strange situation I’d landed myself in.Roman Lennox, my contracted fiancé, had slept in the same bed as me last night.I quickly turned to my side, and my breath hitched when I realized he wasn’t there. Instead, the sound of running water came from the bathroom. My eyes darted to the closed door, and I gulped.Last night, I had managed to fall asleep next to him, but the idea of sharing a bed with Roman still felt surreal and impossible to get used to. Shaking off the lingering awkwardness, I got out of
The CEO’s Unlikely Fiancée Petals and Scented Candles
Chapter 41LyraThe walk back to our room was quiet, the night air carrying the salty scent of the ocean and the rhythmic sound of waves crashing onto the shore. Despite the silence, I didn’t feel awkward. I felt... content. For the first time in forever, I wasn’t drowning in my thoughts or second-guessing my choices. It was freeing.Roman had been oddly agreeable tonight, answering my endless questions without complaint. Sure, he wasn’t exactly Chatty Cathy, but he listened. And when he did respond, his answers felt genuine—not the icy, distant remarks I’d grown accustomed to.By the time we reached our room, I was in a much better mood than I’d expected. But as I opened the door, the soft glow of candles and the lingering scent of vanilla hit me like a freight train. My jaw dropped. “Wow,” I said, glancing around at the romantic setup. “The service here is... really something.”The flickering candlelight danced across the petals scattered over the bed, and I could see champagne chil

Chapter 40LyraUnpacking with Roman felt surreal. It wasn’t just the act of neatly putting away our clothes—it was the bizarre intimacy of sharing a space with someone I barely knew. A space that, thanks to my poor planning, looked like it belonged to a honeymooning couple rather than two people in a fake engagement.He moved efficiently, folding and organizing his things with a calm precision that only made me feel more self-conscious. Meanwhile, I was fumbling with my bag, dropping socks and accidentally spilling my toiletries.This is fine, I told myself. Be cool, Lyra. Relax.Except how could I relax when we were going to sleep in the same room—hell, the same bed—that was literally begging to be featured in a romantic drama? The rose petals, the dim lighting, the champagne... it all seemed to mock me, amplifying the awkwardness.I glanced at Roman. He was unfazed, his movements smooth and collected, as if sharing this space was just another day at the office.By the time we were

Chapter 39LyraThe car came to a halt in front of the resort, and I practically jumped out, unable to contain my excitement. The air was warm and salty, carrying the sound of waves crashing against the shore and laughter ringing out from every corner. I spun around, taking it all in—the colorful banners draped over the entrance, kids darting around with ice creams in hand, and the faint music from the beach in the background."This is perfect!" I exclaimed, throwing my arms out dramatically as I turned to Roman. "Don’t you agree, Mister Lennox?"Roman stepped out of the car slowly, like he was bracing himself for an invasion. His dark sunglasses hid his eyes, but his entire posture screamed discomfort. He scanned the area, his lips pressed into a flat line, and with a curt motion, signaled to the driver to handle the luggage."Charming," he said, his voice clipped.I had to bite back a laugh. Roman Lennox, the epitome of elegance and control, looked wildly out of place here. Dressed

Chapter 38LyraThe February heat hit me the moment we stepped off the jet. It wasn’t oppressive, just a soft warmth that clung to my skin—around 82°F (28°C)—and the salty tang of the ocean lingered in the air. The sky was a flawless shade of blue, and the breeze carried the promise of paradise.Roman stepped beside me, exuding his usual composed elegance. He’d swapped his suit for a more casual button-down and slacks, but the addition of black sunglasses only made him look more effortlessly striking. When his hand rested on the small of my back to guide me toward the waiting car, my pulse skipped.The way we walked together, side by side, I could feel the eyes of onlookers on us. We probably looked like a couple—him with his cool confidence and me…well, just trying not to stumble under the weight of his presence.Roman spoke briefly to someone, and within moments, our luggage was being loaded into the sleek black SUV waiting for us.I frowned as we slid into the car. “Wait. You didn’
The CEO’s Unlikely Fiancée Welcome to Maldives
Chapter 37LyraIt was all fine until he decided to shove his things into another woman. Typical. That’s what men are, right? Scumbags. They can’t cherish what they have, and Ethan was no exception. I thought I knew him, but I couldn’t have been more wrong.Sitting cross-legged in my seat, I fumed, my words tumbling out faster than I could control. “Can you believe it? He doesn’t even have the decency to feel remorse. He’s become this cocky, arrogant bastard who thinks he rules the world just because he landed a good job at Lennox Global. He acts like he’s better than me, even though I was the one who outperformed him in academics and practicals. But he got the job, not me, and that’s when his true colors came out.“I was such an idiot to trust him. The signs were there—his jealousy when I surpassed him, his arrogance, the way he’d ignore me. But I was blind. And here we are now.”I stopped, breathing hard, realizing that I’d just ranted like a lunatic—right in front of Roman.“Sorry,
