The CEO’s Unlikely Fiancée A Bluff Gone Far IV
Chapter 24LyraRoman’s lips pressed into a thin line, but he said nothing. Instead, his arm tightened around me, pulling me closer as I swayed on my feet.The world around us blurred again, the laughter, the whispers, the flashing cameras. I could feel their eyes, their judgment, but none of it mattered. For once, I had won. Or at least, it felt like I had.“Show’s over,” Anthony’s voice broke through the haze, sharp and impatient. He stepped forward, his hand outstretched to take me from Roman.But Roman didn’t let go. His glare was ice, cutting through the tension like a blade. Without a word, he bent down and scooped me into his arms.Gasps echoed around the room, followed by the frantic clicks of cameras. My cheeks flushed as I buried my face in Roman’s chest, the scent of his cologne grounding me for a fleeting moment....The cool night air hit me as we stepped outside, but I barely registered it. The paparazzi were already there, their cameras flashing furiously as Roman car

Chapter 23LyraGasps rippled through the room like a shockwave. Anthony looked like he was about to faint, and Roman’s expression shifted slightly—something between amusement and exasperation.“Are you happy now?” I asked, my voice defiant as I addressed the crowd. “Or are you sad to know I’m not miserable?”“She’s bluffing,” Clarissa said, her voice shrill. “Mr. Lennox isn’t—”Roman cut her off with a glance, his expression unreadable.“Where’s his ring then?” someone asked, their tone mocking.I opened my mouth, but Roman spoke first, his voice calm and authoritative. “Our engagement isn’t official yet,” he said smoothly. “But we’ll be sure to invite all of you when we decide on a date.”The room fell silent again, and I blinked up at him, stunned. Anthony shook his head at me in clear disappointment, but I couldn’t bring myself to care.I was on cloud nine, drunk on both wine and the thrill of shutting everyone up.The room was spinning again, though this time, it wasn’t the alcoh

Chapter 22LyraI pressed my back against the cold bathroom wall, watching as Sydney scrubbed furiously at the wine stain on her dress. My head was spinning—not from the alcohol but from the humiliation still lingering in the pit of my stomach.“This is ridiculous,” Sydney muttered, dabbing at the fabric with a damp paper towel. Her face was a mix of annoyance and sympathy. “Clarissa is such a—ugh! Forget it. Let’s get back out there and show them you don’t care.”I let out a bitter laugh. “I do care, Syd. They’re vultures. Picking at scraps of a relationship that died months ago.” My phone buzzed in my clutch, interrupting my pity party. I fumbled to retrieve it, seeing Anthony’s name flash across the screen.“Anthony?” I answered, my voice slurred from both wine and exhaustion.“Lyra, where are you? Mr. Lennox needs the Anderson file. It’s urgent,” Anthony said, his voice all business.“The Anderson file?” I repeated, confused. My brain wasn’t working fast enough to piece things tog

Chapter 21LyraI stood in front of the full-length mirror, giving myself a once-over. My dress was undeniably attention-grabbing: a shimmering long gown with a plunging neckline and a dangerously high slit that revealed my leg with every step. The fabric was a soft blush pink, intricately embroidered with golden thread that caught the light with every move. The back was almost non-existent, held together by crisscrossed golden strings that added a seductive touch.I ran my hands down the soft fabric, smoothing it over my hips as I examined my reflection. My makeup was just as bold—a glittering gold eyeshadow that blended into a soft pink at the edges, thick lashes that framed my almond-shaped eyes, and a hint of highlighter that made my cheekbones pop. My lips were painted a glossy mauve that I carefully reapplied one last time, pressing them together to ensure perfection.On my feet were strappy golden stilettos that added a solid three inches to my height, elongating my legs and gi

Chapter 20LyraThe next morning, I woke with a pounding headache, a combination of the hangover and the buzzing of my phone. Groaning, I squinted at the screen and saw a flood of notifications. My heart sank as I tapped on one of Anthony’s messages:Anthony: “We need to talk. Someone sent a video of you from last night to Roman during a virtual meeting. He knows about the rumors.”I shot up from my bed, clutching my head as the world tilted. What the hell? My mind raced as I scrambled to get ready, throwing on whatever clothes I could grab. I didn’t have time to deal with this headache; I had to fix the mess.By the time I reached the office, Anthony was waiting for me near my desk. He looked both worried and mildly amused, a terrible combination.“What’s going on?” I asked, whispering harshly.“Roman’s got to know about the rumors,” he said, crossing his arms. “He's calling you to his office.”My stomach dropped. I hadn’t even had coffee yet, and I was already walking to what felt l

Chapter 19LyraSunday night rolled in, and with it, my plan to kill the rumors before they killed me. I stood in front of my mirror, surveying my reflection. My dress—a red, body-hugging number with a plunging neckline and a slit up the side—was borderline scandalous. I paired it with strappy heels and bold makeup, my lips painted a daring crimson to match. If I was going to do this, I was going to do it right.The judgmental gazes started the moment I met the girls outside the club. They didn’t say anything outright, but the sidelong glances and tight smiles spoke volumes.“So,” one of them, Monica, said as we entered, her tone dripping with false cheer. “You’re really joining us, huh?”“Why not?” I said, keeping my voice light. “A night out sounds like just what I need.”We made our way inside, the bass-heavy music vibrating through the walls. The club was packed, the air thick with perfume, sweat, and the tang of alcohol. The girls stuck close together, but I could feel their eyes

Chapter 18LyraAnthony frowned, clearly unhappy with my plea. “Fine. But you need to do something. This isn’t just about you, Lyra. If Roman finds out—”I groaned, covering my face with my hands. “I know. That’s why I need this to die down before it gets to him. Please, just don’t let Ethan know I’m upset. He thrives on this kind of thing.”Anthony hesitated, then sighed. “Alright. But you owe me for staying out of this one.”I managed a weak smile. “I’ll buy you lunch for a week.”“Make it two,” he said, smirking.Before I could respond, his phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen, then looked back at me. “Speak of the devil. Roman wants to see you in his office.”...As I made my way to Roman’s office, my nerves were frayed. The rumors couldn’t have reached him already… could they? I knocked softly on the door, leaving it open just enough to peek in. Roman was seated at his desk, his attention focused on some documents.“Come in,” he said without looking up.I stepped inside, keep

Chapter 17LyraIf I had known that staying late for dinner at Roman’s place would snowball into whispers of a scandal, I would’ve bolted out of there the moment Anthony made his "emergency" exit. Curse my love for tiramisu. Curse Ethan Montgomery. And most of all, curse my naivety for thinking that people around here didn’t thrive on drama like caffeine.I shifted in my seat, clutching my coffee cup like it was a lifeline, my unease growing as snippets of whispered conversations reached me.“...stayed at his place late...”“...wonder what really happened...”“Did you see her leave? It was almost midnight...”“...Mr. Lennox and her? I mean, he’s out of her league, but still…”The murmurs swirled around like a storm cloud, building up pressure in my chest. I took a deep breath and forced myself to focus on the spreadsheet on my screen. Numbers, not rumors. Numbers were safe. Rational. They wouldn’t stab you in the back or whisper your name with raised eyebrows.But it was impossible to
The CEO’s Unlikely Fiancée A meal at the Lennox's lll
Chapter 16LyraThe dishes were immaculate—plated so perfectly it felt like a crime to touch them. Everything was color-coordinated, from the vibrant greens of the salad to the subtle hues of the roasted vegetables. There were no sweets in sight, which was already a red flag for me. But the worst part wasn’t the food—it was the rules.Roman ate in absolute silence, his silverware moving with surgical precision. No clinking, no scraping. Anthony’s utensils were equally quiet, as if he had trained for this moment his entire life. Meanwhile, I was hyperaware of every tiny noise I made. The softest clink of my fork against the plate earned me a sharp, icy glare from Roman. My throat tightened, and suddenly the food tasted like cardboard.When Anthony finished his meal, he placed his silverware down perfectly parallel, wiped his mouth with his napkin, and stood. “Excuse me, Roman. There’s an… emergency I need to attend to.”Roman nodded, clearly unconcerned.Anthony glanced at me, his eyes
