The Fake Empire Chapter 37
Aiden WilderPOVThe next morning felt like waking up inside someone else’s skin. Like I’d woken up in an alternative world not my own.My phone exploded overnight notifications, missed calls, texts from teammates who never cared about gossip until now. My agent wanted to schedule a “brand new image meeting.” My mother was excited to meet T, asking whether she liked casserole and if she should “be prepared to set extra places at Easter for her family.” which in itself was a horrifying escalation.I haven’t even met T’s family yet. Since finding out she was Rae Hartley, I’ve looked into her family. She’s got two siblings a brother and a sister. I knew this already. What I didn’t know was they work for her. Her mother and father gave up their careers to support her too.Right now amongst the chaos. I’ve gone the super bowl, I’ve met the girl I’ve had a crush on since I was a little kid. I’ve got everything I’ve wanted yet all I really wanted right now was silence with Raeleigh Campbell.

Raeleigh CampbellPOVBy the time I reached my hotel suite, it was well past midnight. I was drained. So much had happened I didn’t even have time to process it all.I went to the ensuite and took a bath. I needed to wash away the chaos of earlier. My security was now stationed outside my hotel room, in the lobby and hotel security surveillance room. They had to make sure my suite was secure.My body still felt tense after my bath. I got dressed in a comfy shorts and a tank top. I sank onto the edge of the bed laying down staring at the ceiling.I pressed my right hand to my pounding heart. I’ve survived so much more than this. I survived award shows, I survived heart breaking public breakups, stalkers invading my private spaces, betrayals from people I thought were my friends, fans who quickly turned on me when the money was right, from being public enemy number one at some point.Hell I even survived nearly starving myself to death because of hate comments about my weight.But this

Raeleigh CampbellPOVThe air was colder than when we first came into the restaurant, though nights were usually colder than days.My heart felt more settled than when I first walked in. Our talk helped me in more ways than one. It proved we were still Teigan and Craig in person as we were over the phone. Even though we were Raeleigh Campbell and Aided Wilder now.Nothings changed. We were still the same people.Aiden walked beside me as we headed down the back stairs of the restaurant, I looked at the framed photographs of celebrities who’ve eaten here. My security team had gone ahead to clear the path and keep an eye out for my stalker who had been suspiciously quiet recently. It set my hair on end. Aiden’s security was nowhere insight. If he even had security. We steered clear of anything related to our occupations. We didn’t want to talk about that when we were meeting for the first time.We were supposed to exit through the private garage. Yeah supposed to, where my security was
The Fake Empire Chapter 34
Raeleigh CampbellPOVThe restaurant was dimly lit dark wood, soft golden lighting, and soft jazz music played in the background. It was private and intimate. It was the kind of place where people whispered instead of talked.Aiden Wilder had rented out the entire upstairs for us. We needed private. I could already imagine what would happen if the media found out about us meeting.I stood just inside the doorway, fingers tight around the strap of my bag. My guards were outside, along with his security. It was just us in here.For sixteen years, I imagined what it would feel like to see him. I couldn’t believe that none of the versions in my head were even came close to this.Aiden stood when he saw me. He didn’t make a move to come closer, he just stood there, staring at me.It was the same eyes. The same beautiful eyes that stared at me while I sang on the runway after bumping into his car.The last time I saw those eyes in person, I thought he’d stolen my candy, I was really upset t
The Fake Empire Chapter 33
Aiden WildePOVThe entire stadium was screaming, roaring, some in anger some in happiness and excitement. It reminded me of thunder.Red, white, and gold confetti rained on us. My teammates slammed into me, helmets bumping. I could hear their laughing, shouting and Malik our running back crying. Someone run over to coach and poured Gatorade down his back. Cameras swarmed us waiting for a story. Microphoned shoved into our faces. But the guys didn’t care. They were over the moon from the win.Honestly I didn’t feel any of it. I stood still, breathing in disbelief from our win.We did it. We won.We did what we set out to do. We trained for this moment.We actually won the Super Bowl.My shoulder ached, my hands shook, my lungs burned from running, tackling, pushing every cell in my body to their limits and we did it. It paid off. I couldn’t feel the exhaustion yet, just the rush from the win.A side line reporter grabbed my arm, screaming questions at me.“Wilder! Wilder! Talk to me.
The Fake Empire Chapter 32
Raeleigh CampbellPOVThe stadium lights were blinding. Even more blinding than the stage was... The countdown to my entrance echoed in my ear, but I wasn’t paying attention to it. It was half time and all I could see and think about was the look in his eyes.There was cameras all around me. And I didn’t care, all I wanted was to see and speak to Craig.No Aiden Wilder.Craig was Aiden Wilder. His family owned almost all of America and I was worried the lights would be too bright for him, he’s had the lights on him all of his childhood.For almost seventeen years of conversations, secrets we’ve never shared with anyone but each other, sixteen years all crashing into one impossible truth. We’ve met in person. I told Craig about how I nearly murdered him multiple times.Craig is Aiden.The guy I used to hate because I thought he stole the candy I loved, the one who’s car I crashed into. It’s all coming back to me.My heart still hasn’t recovered from the moment we shared in the tunnel.
