AUTHORS POV

The midday sun filtered lazily through the tall palm trees that shaded the open-air restaurant terrace. Today was going to be a good day, Tessa said in her mind.

There was certainty in her spirit as she took in the scenery.

A soft breeze drifted in from the ocean, rustling the fronds above, and the sound of crashing waves accompanied the subtle clinks of silverware and murmured conversations from around the restaurant.

Tessa, Camila, and Jamie sat at a round table draped in a white cloth, surrounded by platters of grilled seafood, fresh fruit, and vibrant Creole dishes. The food looked divine, the setting tranquil in a way that Tessa found appealing—but something was off.

Jamie hadn’t touched his grilled red snapper. He’d pushed around his mango salad for ten minutes, his brow furrowed and lips pressed into a thin line. Tessa noticed, glancing between her best friends with concern.

“Camila,” she said quietly, leaning toward her, “has Mr. Rahl abandoned our dear Jamie? He

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   Later that Morning

    AUTHORS POVCamila and Tessa sat at a beachside breakfast table, sipping on coconut smoothies and occasionally picking at a spread of fruits and pastries. Jamie arrived without a word, the letter still folded in his palm.He didn’t say much as he sat down. Camila noticed immediately, eyes narrowing.“You okay, Jay?” she asked softly.Jamie looked at her, then at Tessa, whose eyes already brimmed with recognition.“I got a letter,” he said. “From my anonymous admirer.”Camila blinked. “Wait, for real?”Tessa cleared her throat. “What did it say?”Jamie chuckled bitterly. “That it was all meant to make me feel good about myself. That he didn’t want to manipulate me… I was just basically an experiment to him to be honest. But it’s over. He’s gone.”He placed the letter on the table, but no one dared touch it.“Do you know who it was?” Camila asked carefully.Jamie’s lips pressed together. “I wish I did.”Camila's eyebrows shot up. Tessa looked down at her plate.Jamie’s voice was quieter

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   The Letter by the Door

    Tessa stood motionless in the villa, the echo of George’s confession still ringing in her ears. Outside, the wind toyed with the palms, swaying them like fragile truths, shifting with every gust.George had remained after her initial rejection, pleading not for forgiveness—but for understanding.“Tessa,” he’d said, his voice fraying at the edges. “I never wanted to hurt Jamie. I didn’t plan for any of it to go that far. It started as a way to lift him up, to give him a little mystery and excitement. I didn’t expect…” He had stopped himself, swallowing the rest of the sentence. “I didn’t expect to feel responsible in this way. I thought I was helping.”Tessa, arms folded tight across her chest, said nothing at first. Her mind raced with conflicting emotions. George had been her escape, her secret solace in the chaos of Pedro’s shadow. But now, this twist blurred everything. She looked at him through different eyes—more cautious, more aware of how deeply even good intentions could wound

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   The Final Night

    AUTHOR POVIt was definitely the smell of hibiscus that seemed to calm Tessa’s nauseating episodes. And the night was thick with the scent of fresh hibiscus flowers, the air heavy with the impending end of their island escape. It was their final night in Seychelles, and Tessa was reluctant about going back to Monterrey.She had also taken it upon herself to ignore Pedro’s calls, as his calls seemed to make her nervous. She also vowed to visit the hospital for checkups once she returned to Monterrey, particularly to discuss with Dr. Rain the weird feeling she had been feeling for some days now.Tessa sat alone on the veranda of her room, she was feeling bloated; an uncomfortable feeling of fullness and tightness in the belly, she noticed a visible swelling that seemed to scare her but she tried to sooth the mild discomfort by rubbing on her stomach, the rhythmic crash of waves against the shore offering little solace. The bracelet on her wrist—a simple cord with a silver charm—felt hea

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   The bracelet

    AUTHORS POVThe midday sun cast a golden sheen across the Coral Vista Resort, turning the soft white sand into a dazzling path of light. Camila lounged beside the infinity pool, sunglasses perched on her nose, pretending to read while covertly watching the entrance to their villa. Jamie sat beside her, sipping on a mango smoothie, his mood still clouded by thoughts of the anonymous admirer who had gone silent."She's been gone since breakfast," Camila muttered, not looking up from her book.Jamie glanced at her, then toward the villa. "Maybe she went for a walk. She does that sometimes."Camila didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she flipped another page of her book, eyes still not moving over the text. "A walk, huh? Like the walk she took to that restaurant alone? Or the 'walk' when she disappeared after dinner and wouldn’t say where she went?"Jamie smirked. “Wow, you’ve been keeping tabs.”“I call it being observant,” Camila said. “Something is going on with Tessa. And I don’t lik

    Time really slipped by.It was night by the time Tessa was done with she was doing and joined them for a bon fire.The bonfire crackled under a sky full of stars, its golden light reflecting on Camila’s sunglasses—even though the sun had long disappeared beyond the horizon. Tessa lounged on a rattan beach chair, nursing a coconut cocktail, while Jamie dramatically flopped down beside her, resting his head on her lap.“I’m bored,” Jamie sighed. “Entertain me.”“We're literally at a beach resort in Seychelles, Jamie,” Tessa said, twirling the straw in her drink. “Beaches. Cocktails. Wealthy men. What more do you need?”“Love,” Jamie said flatly, and both women groaned in unison.“I swear, if you say one more word about your ghost zaddy—” Camila started.“I’m just saying,” Jamie interrupted. “He’s been silent for days. Maybe I made him up in my head. Maybe he was a scam artist trying to steal my heart and my crypto. Or maybe he’s dead.”“I vote scam artist,” Camila said, raising her hand

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   Awake In The Beach

    It was a new day in Seychelles.The first rays of dawn stretched across the Seychelles horizon like golden fingers caressing the sea. Tessa stirred, her cheek pressed against the curve of a striped beach pillow, the sound of soft waves lulling her out of slumber. A breeze, salty and sweet, danced over her skin, carrying with it the scent of charred pineapple and coconut from last night’s beach cook-off.She blinked open her eyes and found herself lying beneath a linen canopy Camila had insisted on setting up for their “sleepy beach movie moment.” Around her, the remains of their laughter-stained dinner were scattered: cutlery half-buried in the sand, empty cocktail glasses, and the folded note George had left tucked beneath a half-eaten tart.She sat up slowly, her body sore from sleeping on uneven ground, but her heart oddly full.Jamie snored softly beside her, curled into a beach towel like a grumpy cat. Camila, on the other hand, had rolled off her mat and was sprawled on the sand
