LOGIN“These sneakers cost more than your family makes in a month and you dare step on them?” I cursed. The very first day I met this kid, it ended in chaos after he stepped on me, but he had this energy I just couldn't match. I found it intimidating and disrespectful and of course, dealt with him. Only for me to arrive at dinner and mom introduced him again as my step brother. The plan was to ruin him as I hated him even more and in achieving that, I accepted a bet to make him fall for me. But what started as a dare grew into something darker and fiercer. The real feelings set in and this was when the millionaire question struck me: In a world built on lies, dares and betrayal, would love make me or break me?

Because I can still return the ring if you’re having second thoughts.”I laughed softly, tracing the new ring on his finger with my thumb, feeling the cool metal that now bound us. “Only that we didn’t do this sooner. Morning, husband. God, saying it out loud still feels like a dream I don’t want to wake up from.”The morning after the wedding, the guest house felt different, like it had finally settled into its purpose after witnessing so many of our stolen moments. Sunlight poured through the windows we’d cracked open last night, carrying the fresh scent of dew-kissed grass from the yard. Eli was still half-asleep beside me, one arm slung heavily across my waist, his face pressed into my neck. His breathing was slow and even. I lay there for a long time just listening to it, feeling the new ring on my finge
SEBASTIAN'S POVThe morning of the wedding dawned bright and cool, the kind of spring day that felt like it had been waiting for them all along. Sunlight filtered through the curtains of the guest house, casting gentle patterns across the wooden floor. Birds chirped outside, and a soft breeze carried the faint scent of blooming flowers from the garden nearby. It was perfect—almost too perfect, like the universe was finally giving them a break after years of chaos.Sebastian stood in front of the mirror, fingers shaking slightly as he tried to fix his tie for the third time. The navy suit felt both too formal and exactly right, hugging his shoulders in a way that made him feel both grown-up and strangely vulnerable. His hair was messy no matter how many times he brushed it, a few stubborn strands refusing to cooperate. He stared at his reflection, heart hammering against his ribs. This was real. Today was the day.Eli appeared behind him in the reflection, already dressed in his black
SEBASTIAN'S POVThe week before the wedding felt like someone had hit fast-forward on life while also making time crawl. Every morning started the same way — waking up tangled with Eli in the guest house, his arm heavy across my waist, warm breath on the back of my neck. I’d lie there for a few extra minutes just listening to him breathe, trying to memorize how it felt before everything changed again.This morning was no different.“You’re thinking too loud,” Eli mumbled, voice sleepy and rough as he pulled me closer, nuzzling into my neck.I smiled against his shoulder. “Can’t help it. We’re getting married in six days.”Eli cracked one eye open, squinting at me. “You regretting it yet?”“Never.” I pressed a slow kiss to his jaw. “Just… can’t believe it’s real. After everything.”He rolled us so I was underneath him, looking down at me with that soft, steady look that still made my stomach flip. “It’s real, Seb. You’re stuck with me now, Hale. No take-backs.”“Already changed my last
“Jasmine, I swear to God if you steal one more piece of bacon off my plate I’m actually fighting you right here in the kitchen,” Eli said, yanking his plate closer like it was treasure.Jasmine leaned back in her chair with zero shame, already chewing loudly with a massive grin. “You wouldn’t hit me. I’m basically your sister-in-law now. That’s illegal in at least three states. Plus I’m adorable. Right, Lucas?”Lucas didn’t even glance up from his newspaper, but the corner of his mouth twitched. “You’re eating my food. That makes you family whether I like it or not.”Bianca burst out laughing so hard she nearly choked on her orange juice. Maya rubbed her back gently, trying not to laugh herself. “Breathe, babe. You’re gonna die before you even get to give your dramatic wedding speech.”“Speaking of the wedding!” Jasmine slammed both hands on the table, eyes lighting up like she’d just discovered fire. “Basketball court — yes or no? I need details. Am I allowed to do cartwheels down th

Eli'S POV “I just want to bring you out of poverty the same way my mom wants to do with your dad.” Those words don't seem to stop ringing in my ears.Every silence, every minute of peace my mind kept going back to what Sebastian had said two days ago. The more I thought about it the angrier I beca
Eli'S POVI was on my way home when my phone rang, I answered even without checking the caller id.“Hello?” I answered unsure of who was calling. There was a soft chuckle from the caller and then silence. My face immediately twisted into a frown as I had gotten no responses. I took the phone from
