Vivienne POV

~•~

I stood at the edge of the grand cathedral with my thoughts spinning from that run-in with William back in the dressing room. His nasty words kept playing over and over in my head, pulling me away from everything around me. I couldn’t focus on the now; all I could think about was what came next. Would this marriage keep Liam and me safe, or would it just drag us into more trouble?

The big doors creaked open, and there was my father, slipping his arm through mine. It felt more like a business deal than anything warm or real. He started walking me down the aisle, taking his time, almost like he was putting on a show. His chest stuck out, full of that proud look that said he’d finally hit the jackpot with money and status.

I could feel how much he expected from this, like I was some kind of trade-off. But I shoved that down and tried to look at the people staring back at us. Behind me, the flower girls tossed petals in soft little waves, their laughs so light and happy

    Damon POV~•~I stared at Damien as his confidence scraping at every nerve I had. I hadn’t planned for him to say a single word tonight, let alone steal the show. His presence felt like a punch I didn’t see coming. How did he even get here? The media frenzy around the wedding must’ve spread every detail, making privacy a joke for people like us. A public fight could ruin everything because our father’s will had a clause demanding we play nice, or the whole inheritance went to charity. Rivalry was his worst nightmare for the Langford name. I glanced at Vivienne and I could tell from her eyes that she was filled with worry, and Catherine, who looked ready to bolt. I had to keep it together.Damien grabbed the microphone, flashing that grin I knew too well. “Well, folks, here we are, celebrating my big brother, sorry, my eldest twin brother, Damon,” he said, his voice dripping with mockery. “Though, let’s be real, those few minutes don’t mean much. Twins share everything, right?”Th

  • The CEO's Untamed Contract Bride   A Toast

    The master of ceremonies announced our arrival with a voice that boomed through the hall, bouncing off the walls like we were royalty. The room was stunning with ceilings so high they seemed to touch the sky and curtains flowing down like soft rivers, brushing the shiny marble floor. Tables were scattered around, covered in white linens with bold red ribbons, giving a spark of fire to the fancy setup. The guests looked like they stepped out of a magazine and everyone spoke in low tones. I spotted faces I’d only seen in headlines here to honor Damon and the Langford name. It hit me hard that this was my world now, a place I’d only dreamed of, and it felt thrilling but scary, like I was stepping into something with strings I couldn’t yet see.We were led to the head table, front and center, where it felt like every eye was on us. An older man stepped to the podium, his voice warm and full of memories. “I knew Damon’s father, Edward, for decades,” he started, smiling. “A true visionary.

    My eyes widened, a jolt of disbelief hitting me as I stared at Liam’s little face. How could a kid so young come up with something so heavy? I pulled him closer, hushing him softly. “Shh, baby,” I whispered, my voice low, “where’d you get that idea?”Liam giggled, like it was some fun secret. “In the car earlier, one of Uncle Damon’s friends told me. He said Uncle Damon’s my new daddy now, and I don’t gotta worry about my old papa anymore.”His words lit a fire in me, fury mixing with shock. My grip on him tightened, my heart pounding. I hated William for walking out, but someone planting ideas like that in Liam’s head? That was low and could mess him up for good. I made a mental note to corner Damon about this later, but for now, I leaned in, keeping my voice soft. “Liam, listen to me, okay? Nobody gets to decide who your dad is but us. You’re my boy, and I love you. That’s what matters.”He tilted his head, his eyes big and curious. “But what if Uncle Damon wants to be my dad? He’s

  • The CEO's Untamed Contract Bride   Desperate Ex-Husband

    The week blurred past me like water slipping through my hands. Outings, luncheons, staged dinners, every moment felt scripted. By the time the wedding morning came, I no longer remembered what quiet felt like.I sat in front of the mirror, my reflection painted into someone I barely knew. The brush slid across my cheek, the makeup artist humming softly. Outside the walls, I could hear movement, voices, and the sound of my father’s laugh louder than I’d heard in years. He was alive with pride that wasn’t pride at all. Damon’s wealth had set him on fire. And I, his daughter, had suddenly become valuable again.I tried to block it out, to steady my breathing, but inside, questions screamed. What life was I dragging Liam into? What would it mean for him to carry Damon’s name, to live in shadows? Catherine had made me promise that no one must know about Liam. At first I raged at the thought, but later… I admitted the truth. Perhaps it was safer that way.The makeup artist paused, her eye

    Vivienne POV~•~I sat on the edge of the hotel bed with my phone in my hand, staring at the screen like it might suddenly change. A notification from my bank had come through, and when I opened it, my breath nearly stopped. The digits stared back at me, far more than I had ever seen sitting in my account. Catherine had kept her word.Money like this could wipe away part of my struggle, but under Damon’s contract, what use did I truly have for it? My needs, my expenses, all of it was already spoken for. This money didn’t belong to me, but for someone else, it could mean everything.Without letting myself think too long, I opened the banking app again and wired it straight into my mother’s account. My heart pounded as I hit confirm, as though I was doing something criminal.The transfer went through, and minutes later my phone rang. My mother’s name lit up the screen.“Mom,” I answered quickly.Her voice burst through, high and breathless. “Vivienne! Tell me this is a mistake. Did you
