LOGIN"Let's get a divorce." Renna had said to her treacherous husband, Hayes Campbell, walking in on him with not one of his numerous mistresses that she knew of, but her sister, this time. Renna thought divorcing him would be the end of her misery but what about her father? The vicious man who she grew up to him finding fault in everything she did, she was his prodigal daughter while Nadia, her sister, was his favorite, despite how frequently she strayed. He disowned her right after the divorce and pushed her into the street. Divorced, disowned, and critically ill, Renna passed out on the street of New York. Renna thought she was dead until she opened her eyes in a hospital, and her ex-husband's uncle beside her. "Hey, kitten." He winked. "Don't call me that." Renna spat. "Fine, does Mrs Campbell sound better?" "Not that either," she mumbled. "Hayes and I are getting divorced." He was unusually quiet for a while, and when Renna looked up to his face, he had a smug smirk plastered all over. "Well, I guess that changes everything then." "What does that even..." "Marry me." "What?" "I will offer you a life every single lady on earth will be jealous of, kitten, the world will be at your feet, including your ex-husband, all you have to do is say yes." His name is Landon; Hayes's uncle and biggest threat. No one knew the mystery behind his hatred for Hayes. The business deals that Hayes wanted, he took them; Hayes popularity and influential spot in the country, he took that away, and now he has come for her. But not just as a game.

Almost eight. Which could only mean one thing.“He’s gone to work,” I muttered under my breath, stretching lazily before rolling off the bed.For the umpteenth time since I’d been here, I’d slept really deeply; it has been my usual routine since my time here, and slowly I was getting used to it... Getting used to the peace and surreal calmness.I haven't had any nightmares in a long time, no tossing and turning. Just… Peace. Maybe it was the ridiculously soft bed, or maybe it was knowing I didn’t have to wake up and immediately start scrubbing dishes before someone yelled at me.Either way, I felt oddly good.I shuffled into the bathroom, still a bit drowsy, and turned on the shower. The water hit the tiles with a fast flow, and steam began to curl through the air.I stripped, tossing my nightg
Renna's POV.I absolutely don't know what to do with myself today.The house was too big, too clean, like it didn’t even need me. Every time I lifted a hand to do something, one of the house staff appeared out of nowhere and gently took over.“Mrs. Carter, I’ll take care of that,” they’d say with polite smiles, and I’d just stand there awkwardly, holding a dishcloth or a feather duster like a misplaced decoration.This wasn’t Hayes’s house.There, I did everything. Cooked, cleaned, served, fixed, smiled, and still got told I wasn’t enough.This wasn’t my father’s house either, where every chore came with a reminder that I should be grateful to be fed at all. That I was a burden. A charity case.This… this was different.Landon’s house wasn’t just a house. It was a world. A world that didn’t expect me to bend until I broke, and despite how hard I tried to stop myself from admitting it... I'm really enjoying my stay so far. I tried to read a book, but I couldn’t concentrate. I tried to
Renna's POV.I woke up to the sound of his voice.Not the playful, infuriating drawl I’d gotten used to, this one was surprisingly rigid, clipped with authority. For a second, I thought I was dreaming, because there was no way that version of Landon existed in real life.But when I blinked my eyes open, sunlight spilling through the curtains, I saw him, standing by the huge window, phone pressed to his ear, shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows, his tie hanging loose.“I don’t care what the board said, Mason. That deal goes through by noon. If he tries to pull out, tell him I’ll buy the whole damn company and replace him myself.”His tone was icy, and it sent a strange chill down my spine. Gone was the man who couldn’t finish a meal without finding a reason to tease me, this was someone else entirely.He paused, listening to the person on the other end, then smirked slightly. “Good. Make sure the documents are ready before I get there. And Mason... ” his voice dropped a little, softer
Renna's POV.Halfway through the drive home, we made a quick stop at the mall... It was totally uncalled for, but Landon never seized to amaze me; we were practically driving past the mall when his eyes caught sight of a pretty dress on display and quickly pulled over to get it for me.It was a mixed feeling of both appreciation and confusion for me because no one has ever done a thing like that for me, and need I even talk about how freely he did it like it was the barest minimum? “Do you ever stop trying to make an impression?” I asked, stopping beside him, as we watched the valet rush to bring his car immediately we walked out.Excuse my sorry ass for sounding so unappreciative, but this is really all new to me. He flashed me his regular sly smirk. "An impression you say? It's far from it kitten, I just enjoy watching you blush when I take care of you." “What? I haven't blushed a single time all night,” I snapped, crossing my arms.“Oh, you did,” he murmured, leaning closer so t
