The Love You Faked Chapter 38
Aria's POV I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting one of the earrings in my ear. I looked at myself for a moment before a small smile appeared on my lips. There was nothing wrong with being a little bolder. I had spent enough time being careful around Alexander. He was my husband on paper. That was all. Our marriage had been built on an agreement, and Alexander had made it clear from the beginning that he expected nothing beyond what was written in that contract. He was cold, distant, and almost impossible to read.Fine. I could work with that. I was not trying to make him fall in love with me. I simply needed to make myself more comfortable around him and, perhaps, make him a little more willing to indulge me when I needed something.Besides, there was no denying that the man was incredibly handsome. It was almost irritating. He was too handsome not to fall for even at pretence.I picked up my phone and walked out of my room. Alexander was in the living room. He sat on the sofa
The Love You Faked Chapter 37
Lila stepped out of Blackwell with a smile still fixed on her face. She kept it there until the glass doors closed behind her. Then the smile disappeared.Her heels struck the pavement as she walked toward the car, her face tight with anger. She had planned everything. She had chosen the dress carefully that morning. She had called three of her friends and brought them along because she wanted witnesses. She had already imagined Aria's expression when she walked into Blackwell and acted as though she had come there only to talk.She had even prepared the tears. She would tell Aria that she had never wanted to hurt her. She would say that Jason had chosen her because they were in love. She would make herself look like the innocent sister who had been unfairly hated.Then, when Aria reacted badly, everyone would see who the real problem was. But Aria had not been there. Lila opened the car door sharply and got inside.One of her friends followed her. “What happened to you?” she asked.
The Love You Faked Chapter 36
Lila’s POVI had been thinking about Aria all morning. Ever since I saw her at Blackwell, I could not stop thinking about how easily she had walked away from us. She had looked different, not broken, not desperate. Not like the woman who had left Reid House with one suitcase.That bothered me more than I wanted to admit. Jason had tried to act like he did not care, but I had noticed the way he watched her.He still cared. I knew it. And I hated that. By noon, I had already made up my mind. I was going back to Blackwell. This time, I was not going alone.I called three of my friends and invited them to lunch. They were the kind of girls who loved expensive restaurants, designer clothes, and any story that gave them something interesting to talk about.I knew exactly what I was doing. If Aria was still working at Blackwell, I would make sure she regretted the way she had spoken to me. I would not shout at her. I did not need to. I knew how to make people look foolish without raising my

We were halfway down the hallway when Ethan caught up with us. “Alexander.”Alexander slowed down but did not turn around. “What?”Ethan glanced at me, then smiled.“Lady Steele, are you coming?”I stopped. I looked at him. “Lady Steele?”Ethan laughed softly. “Yes. You.”I looked at Alexander, who continued walking as though the conversation had nothing to do with him.“So you knew?” I asked.Ethan looked genuinely confused. “Knew what?”“That I’m married to Alexander.”He laughed. “Of course I knew. I may have been out of town when it happened, but I wasn't living under a rock.”I smiled. Something about the way he said it made me relax. There was no awkwardness in his voice. No careful distance. He spoke to me as though I had already been part of their lives for longer than a few days.Ethan caught up with us. “Honestly, I was beginning to think Alexander would die single.”Alexander finally looked at him. “You talk too much.”“And you talk too little. That is why we're friends.”I

“Yes?”, I answered.“Don't let them underestimate you.”I stared at him. He didn't wait for a response. He walked away. I sat there quietly for a moment. Tomorrow would be my first look inside Alexander's business world.And something told me it was going to be very different from anything I had experienced before.…The next morning, I woke up earlier than usual.For a few seconds, I forgot where I was. Then I remembered New York, Steele Villa, and the meeting Alexander had mentioned before going to bed.I got out of bed and checked the time. It was 7:15 a.m. I had barely finished getting dressed when my phone rang. It was Naomi.“Good morning, Mrs. Billionaire.”I laughed. “Please don't start.”“I am serious. You disappeared to New York with a billionaire. I always deserve details.”“There are no details.”“That is exactly what someone with details would say.”I shook my head while fixing my hair in the mirror. “Alexander has a meeting today, and he wants me there.”“With him?”“Yes
The Love You Faked Chapter 33
Alexander was standing near the kitchen island, checking something on his phone.“So,” I said, “what happens now?”He looked up. “Now?”“Yes. We just arrived in New York.”“I have a meeting tonight.”I stared at him. “Tonight?”“Yes.”I laughed softly. “You really came all the way to New York just to start working immediately.”“That is why I'm here.”“And what am I supposed to do?”“Whatever you want.” He picked up his phone. “There is a car downstairs if you need it.”“I don't need a car yet.”“You'll need one eventually.”“I can maybe take a taxi.”“No.”I frowned. “Why not?”“Because I don't want you traveling around Beverly alone without security.”I threw a glance at him but before I could say anything his phone rang. He answered immediately. “Yes.”I watched his expression change slightly as he listened. He became more focused, his shoulders straightening. “Move the meeting to eight.”There was a pause. “No. I'll be there.”He ended the call and looked at me.“I have to leave.
