Ava’s POV

“Your sister’s life is in danger, and you’re still thinking about whether to accept or not?” Dominic said coldly as he stood up from his seat.

Panic rushed through me immediately.

“I accept,” I blurted out. “I accept to be your wife. Please… help my sister.”

Dominic looked down at me for a few seconds before giving a small nod.

    Ava stood quietly inside the large bedroom, her hands clasped tightly together as she stared at the city lights outside the window.Behind her, Dominic loosened the cuffs of his shirt calmly before placing his phone on the table beside him.Neither of them spoke for a few seconds.“What are you thinking about?” Dominic’s calm voice broke the silence.Ava slowly turned away from the window to look at him.“Nothing really,”Dominic walked toward the small table near the couch and poured himself a glass of water.Then he finally looked at her again.“The wedding will happen this weekend.”Ava blinked for a second, she thought she heard him wrong.“…What?”Dominic’s expression did not change.“The wedding,” he repeated calmly. “It’s happening this weekend.” Ava stared at him in complete shock.“This weekend?” she repeated slowly. “As in… this coming weekend?”“Yes.”Her chest tightened immediately.“That’s too soon.”“It’s necessary.” Ava shook her head quickly.“How is it necessary?

    Author’s POVAva stared at Cynthia in shock.“The internet?” she repeated slowly.Cynthia nodded seriously while holding her tablet.“The reporters posted the pictures less than twenty minutes ago. People are already talking about it.”Ava’s stomach tightened immediately. Everything suddenly felt too real.Before now, this arrangement with Dominic still felt hidden somehow. Yes, his family knew, and the reporters saw them together, but it still felt distant.Now the entire internet was talking about her. People she did not even know were seeing her face.“What kind of pictures?” she asked quietly.Cynthia handed the tablet to her.Ava looked down nervously.The first thing she saw was a picture of Dominic holding her hand outside the mansion. The camera flashes around them made the photo look dramatic.Underneath it was a headline.DOMINIC HALE FINALLY INTRODUCES HIS MYSTERY WOMAN.Ava’s chest tightened. There were already thousands of comments underneath.“She’s pretty.”“Who is she?

    Author’s POVThe atmosphere in the dining hall changed completely since Dominic announced the marriage.Ava could feel it immediately.Even though everyone continued eating, the attention around the table felt heavier now. Every few seconds, someone looked at her again.It made her nervous.She held her fork carefully, trying not to embarrass herself.Dominic, on the other hand, looked completely relaxed beside her like nothing unusual had happened.His grandfather was the happiest person in the room.The old man looked ready to celebrate immediately.“This is the best news I’ve heard all year,” he said proudly while looking at Ava again. “Finally. I was beginning to think Dominic hated women completely.”“Grandpa,” Dominic said flatly.“What?” the old man replied carelessly. “Am I lying?”Dora laughed immediately.“It’s true though.”Dominic ignored both of them calmly.His grandfather turned back toward Ava with excitement shining in his eyes.“So when is the wedding?”Ava nearly ch

    Author’s POVThe moment Dominic and Ava stepped into the mansion, the loud noise from the reporters outside disappeared behind them.The huge doors closed quietly, and the inside of the house became calm again.Ava finally released a slow breath she did not even realize she had been holding.The first sitting room was massive. Soft golden lights filled the space, and expensive paintings covered the walls. Everything looked elegant and perfect, almost too perfect.Several maids standing nearby immediately bowed politely.“Good evening, Young Master.”“Good evening, Miss.”Ava became nervous again at the way they greeted her so respectfully.Dominic did not stop walking. His expression remained calm as always.But his hand tightened slightly around Ava’s fingers.It was almost like he could feel her nervousness again.“This way,” he said quietly.Ava nodded quickly and followed beside him.The deeper they walked into the mansion, the tighter her chest became. She could hear faint voices

    Author’s povThe ride to the Hale family estate was quiet.Ava sat beside Dominic in the back seat, trying her best to stay calm, but it was impossible. Her hands rested tightly on her lap, and every few seconds, she glanced out the window just to avoid looking at him too much.The dress she wore still felt unfamiliar on her body. Even the heels on her feet made her nervous. She was scared of tripping, scared of saying the wrong thing, and even more scared of embarrassing Dominic in front of his family.Meanwhile, Dominic looked completely relaxed.He sat comfortably beside her, scrolling through something on his phone as if tonight was nothing important.Ava wished she could feel the same way.The car slowly turned into a longer road surrounded by expensive houses and bright lights. A few minutes later, another black car suddenly joined them from behind.Ava noticed it immediately then another one, Her brows pulled together slightly.“Why are there so many cars?” she asked softly.Do

    Ava’s POVI barely slept that night. Every time I closed my eyes, I kept thinking about Dominic’s family dinner.The more I thought about it, the more nervous I became.I was not used to rich people. I did not know how they talked, how they acted, or what they expected from someone like me. Just the thought of sitting beside Dominic in front of his family made my stomach tighten.The next morning, I woke up earlier than usual.Mabel was sleeping on the couch in the living room, wrapped tightly in a blanket. I quietly walked into the kitchen and poured myself a glass of water.The apartment was silent, for a moment, everything felt peaceful then my mind remembered reality again.I was getting ready to become Dominic Hale’s wife. I sighed softly and leaned against the kitchen counter.This still felt unreal.A knock suddenly came from the front door. I froze slightly before walking toward it.When I opened the door, a woman wearing a fitted black suit stood outside with two men behind h
