Mr. Justin Erickson's laughter was a low, dangerous one. “My son is in love with the fake heiress?” His tone dripped with anger.

Lucas’ feet trembled, his hands clasped behind him. “But Dad, Sophia is much loved by the Sterlings than Audrey…….”

“You're such a fool,” Mr. Justin barked at him, his face darkening. He slammed his fist on the table, making Lucas flinch. “Who is the Heiress between the two?”

Lucas hesitated, taking a step back. “Audrey Sterling,” his voice was barely above a whis

    The steel framed glass door slammed against the wall as Thomas stormed in. The sound snapped Sharon up from the sofa.“Where is Audrey?” His voice echoed through the room. Sharon couldn't speak, her hand just pointed outside the house.“Didn't I tell you to call me the moment she tries to leave this house,” Thomas yelled. Sharon's fingers trembled, twisting the hem of her shirt as fear washed over her. Her eyes were fixed to the floor, scared to meet her boss's face.After the meeting with the Whitesons, Audrey became more uncomfortable with Thomas. The family accepted her as their daughter-in-law without questioning, already planning their wedding. Audrey felt something wasn't right about it, but couldn't place it. Thomas saw her discomfort when he dropped her off, and had commanded Sharon and the security to alert him if she tried leaving the house. But somehow, Audrey left the house without their knowledge. That afternoon, Thomas had got a call from his family doctor that Aud

    Mr. Justin Erickson's laughter was a low, dangerous one. “My son is in love with the fake heiress?” His tone dripped with anger. Lucas’ feet trembled, his hands clasped behind him. “But Dad, Sophia is much loved by the Sterlings than Audrey…….”“You're such a fool,” Mr. Justin barked at him, his face darkening. He slammed his fist on the table, making Lucas flinch. “Who is the Heiress between the two?” Lucas hesitated, taking a step back. “Audrey Sterling,” his voice was barely above a whisper. “Son, we need Audrey,” he growled. “Her 40% share in her grandfather's company is our only ticket to crushing the Whitesons.” Lucas let out a slow breath before replying to his father, “But Dad, Thomas Whiteson has Audrey already.” Mr. Justin’s eyes snapped wide, “What do you mean?”“He paid the Sterling Brothers the 20 million dollars. He's marrying Audrey,” Lucas explained, his words heightening his father's panic. Mr. Justin's pulse raced. He hadn't anticipated that. The $20 million

    “Audrey, Audrey,” Thomas shook her gently, his fingers trembling slightly on her shoulder. Slowly, Audrey's eyelids lifted, and she met Thomas' nervous gaze. Sophia, Lucas and her brothers huddled in the corner, watching with fear written on their faces. She felt relieved as she realized Mr. Leo was gone. “Help her up,” Thomas commanded his bodyguard, his tone stern. The bodyguard quickly stepped closer, gently pulling Audrey to her feet. Without a word, Thomas turned and walked away from the scene. “We need to follow him, ma'am,” The bodyguard whispered to Audrey, who knew better than to question him.The five remained frozen to the spot, their eyes fixed on Audrey's back as she walked away. They saw the affection in Thomas' eyes when Audrey fainted and it made them question if the two were in love.‘Even if these men won't do anything, I will. Audrey must marry Lucas and not Thomas,’ Sophia's heart pounded with thoughts as she glanced at her confused brothers. “You guys just

    Just when the MC was about to wrap up the Valentine's party program, a whisper rippled through the crowd that Thomas Whiteson had arrived. He knew he couldn't conclude the program without acknowledging Thomas Whiteson. This wasn't the first time he'd handled the High-End's party, so he knew Thomas would come in late, with a reluctant smile on his face.The MC cleared his throat, “An important person is in our midst. Can we all welcome Mr. Thomas Whiteson as he enters with his fiancee.” Noises erupted in the auditorium. Cameras started flashing as Thomas walked hand in hand with Audrey. She dazzled in her white knee-length gown, the diamond on her neck screamed money. Sophia almost pushed Lucas out of her way as she sighted Audrey. The poor Audrey, Thomas Whiteson's fiancee? The same Thomas who was portrayed to detest women?Mr. Leo Whiteson beamed from his chair, a pleased smile spreading across his face as he saw his heir finally with a woman. “My dad seems to like you,” Thomas w

    “I'm in,” Audrey replied almost immediately. “Great one. I’ll get the contract ready by tomorrow for you to sign. Make sure to read through this time,” Thomas said with a small smile, prompting a laugh from Audrey. But her smiles vanished abruptly immediately Thomas' expression turned serious. “Tomorrow's Valentine's Day and you have to go to the High-End Valentine's party with me.” Audrey's mind whirled with thoughts. The dress on her was the only beautiful dress she had. Asking Sophia for a dress would be horrible. Playing the role of a billionaire's fiancee could be expensive. She hadn't thought of that before jumping to accept. It seemed Thomas heard her thoughts when he said, “Since you're avoiding home, why don't you come with me and get ready for tomorrow?” Audrey's face split into a huge grin, her teeth flashing white. Thomas' unreadable expression kept her to her spot, else she'd have jumped on him in excitement. Thomas seemed to have two personalities; in a moment, he

    The next voice that jerked Audrey out of her shocked reverie was that of strangers.Her eyes met Lucas’ gaze- a handsome, well-built young man in a perfectly ironed tailored suit and a neatly groomed beard, which added to his sharp look. Sophia's gaze lingered on him, ‘oh mine,’ she was lost in admiration until Ryan tapped her, snapping her back to reality. “Please have your seats,” Mr. Sterling gestured to the available sofa. Lucas sat down with his parents by his side. Mrs. Evangeline signaled Audrey with a stern look. With no time to think, Audrey hesitantly put on her heels and walked slowly back to their midst. “Good afternoon,” Audrey murmured, sliding into a seat beside her mother. “Lucas, I guess you should have a talk with your wife-to-be, Audrey Sterling.” Mr. Sterling’s lips curled up into a warm smile as he gently pulled Audrey to her feet. Audrey's stomach tightened as her father's word sank in. She felt Lucas' heavy gaze on her, making her palms sweat. Sophia's
