Elena Vale has spent her entire life sticking to the rules, until the night she's forced into an engagement she never wanted. Fleeing from her high-society cage, she ends up in a grimy bar, drinking with a brooding stranger who offers the one thing she never expected: freedom. Jack Roman is the last man a woman like Elena Vale should marry. Tattooed, sharp-tongued, and hiding secrets behind his sea blue eyes. He's everything she's been taught to avoid. But when an impulsive drunken wedding turns into a full-blown scandal, Elena seizes the chaos. She makes him a deal — six months of pretending, then they part ways. To Elena, faking a marriage with a stranger is supposed to keep her safe. But as sparks turn to passion, and buried truths come to light, Elena realizes she may have just traded one kind of prison for another. Because Jack didn't just walk into her life by accident… and falling in love with him might just cost her everything.

Until Paperwork Do Us Part Funeral and Memory
A week had passed, but for Elena, time no longer felt linear. The minutes dragged and the days blurred, stitched together by sleepless nights and aching silence. The apartment felt colder somehow, even with the early spring sunlight brushing its way across the marble floors. Layla was gone. And despite the world continuing to spin, Elena couldn’t bring herself to keep up with it. The police were still combing through Layla’s apartment, gathering scraps of evidence, piecing together timelines, and knocking on doors that never seemed to yield answers. The official report was still labeled “under investigation,” a phrase that felt like a cruel placeholder for truth. But Elena couldn’t sit with that. Not when her chest caved in every time she remembered Layla’s laugh, her soft scolding voice, the way she touched her shoulder when things got too overwhelming. Layla had been more than a trusted aide. She’d been a second mother, a confidante, a constant in a world that had betrayed Elena

The city greeted them not with warmth, but with the cold edge of familiarity. A blur of gray buildings, honking horns, and hurried lives passed beyond the tinted windows of the car as it pulled into the underground garage of the penthouse. New York didn’t care that they had returned. It never did. It simply kept moving, relentless and pulsing, like a heart that refused to rest.Elena didn’t say much during the elevator ride up. Neither did Jack. The exhaustion from the flight clung to their limbs, but deeper than that was the quiet dread of stepping back into everything they had momentarily escaped—the boardroom battles, the anonymous threats, the silent enemies hiding behind polite smiles.When the penthouse doors finally slid open, Elena didn’t bother with decorum. She dropped her handbag on the console table, kicked off her heels without grace, and all but collapsed onto the cream-colored couch in the living room. A sigh escaped her lips—long, slow, and heavy. It was the sound of s

The morning after their quiet, glittering dinner still lingered in the corners of Elena’s mind like the taste of wine on her lips. It wasn’t just the food or the soft music or even the way Jack had looked at her—it was the unspoken truth that for once, neither of them had been running from a shadow. They had simply existed, together. That in itself felt like a miracle.The soft Lisbon sun filtered through the hotel windows as Elena curled her fingers around a porcelain cup of coffee, standing barefoot by the window. Outside, the city stretched in all directions—red-tiled roofs and winding cobblestone alleys, a soft hum already rising as the city came alive. Trams rumbled in the distance, and the Tagus River glinted like a living ribbon beneath the morning sky.Jack joined her a moment later, freshly showered, towel slung around his neck and hair still damp. He looked more at ease than she’d seen him in weeks—no phone in hand, no lines of tension cutting through his brow. Just him. Jus

The next morning came quickly, ushered in by the distant chime of church bells and the faint hum of city life outside their hotel window. Sunlight spilled through sheer curtains, washing the suite in a golden warmth that might’ve felt comforting, if not for the weight of the day ahead.Elena stirred first, blinking against the light as she stretched out on the bed, momentarily tempted to stay buried in the stillness they had created the night before. But duty had a habit of being loud, even in the soft corners of a foreign hotel room. Beside her, Jack was already reaching for his watch on the nightstand, his movements quiet but efficient.Neither of them spoke much as they got ready—an unspoken agreement hanging between them. They just wanted to get this over with. The last board meeting had drained them, dragged longer than necessary with debates and counterarguments. Today, their goal was singular: finalize what needed finalizing, tie off every loose end, and have at least a few hou

The morning light crept slowly through the towering windows of the penthouse, casting thin gold lines across the marble floors and half-drawn curtains. The city below was already awake—cars moving in lazy trails, horns calling out in frustration, and a constant hum that made it impossible to forge
Until Paperwork Do Us Part At His Father's Bedside
Elena strolled back to her office with the echo of her heels muffled by thick carpeting and heavier thoughts. The corridor was quiet, her assistant offering only a quick nod as she passed. She didn’t return it. Her mind was still anchored in the boardroom—half-warmed seats, missing faces, polite no

The night had curled softly around the city, casting warm amber hues through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse. Outside, the skyline pulsed with distant lights, but inside, the world had narrowed down to two entangled bodies—bare skin beneath soft sheets, limbs tangled in familiarity an
