Henry discovered Roxanne’s childhood dream and made a mental note. She told him during the business trip how she always wanted to have a dream wedding with a man who loved her and treated her like a Queen. He wanted to fulfil that dream for her. So he hired the best wedding planner to arrange the biggest wedding of the century. He had paid for everything in advance- the large wedding cake, the venue that could hold at least 1000 people, the decor... everything up to their honeymoon destination was already planned and paid for. Henry was going to take her on a real vacation this time. However, despite paying for everything in advance, there was still something that he needed to do. The way he got together with Roxanne wasn't romantic at all. He assumed, like every woman, Roxanne wanted to be loved and receive a grand proposal unlike being forced to marry and replace someone else. He wanted to make things right. Thus, after wishing his grandfather a happy birthday on the stage

Henry twisted his hand in Roxanne’s blonde hair and grabbed a handful before bringing her head down and crashed her lips on his in a sizzling kiss. He let out a low groan when searing sparks coursed through his body. ‘Fuck, I love kissing her.’ Roxanne’s lips and flavour were addicting… with each kiss, Henry found himself getting harder in his pants. He tapped his tongue on her lower lip and this made Roxanne part her lips. Henry grasped the opportunity and plunged his tongue into her mouth, kissing her fervently. He deepened the kiss with each second, and by the third minute, his shaft was harder than steel and threatened to burst out of his pants. He wanted her… more than anything. “You’re so beautiful,” he murmured when he let go of her lips and peppered hot kisses along her jaw, going down to her soft neck where he made small bites, marking her as his. Roxanne sighed erotically. Henry’s kisses were doing delicious things to her. Pleasure washed over her when he kissed he

"Sir, why didn't you tell Miss Smith the truth? Won't it be better if she knows what is going on?" Diego asked after Henry cut the call that he made to Roxanne. Henry clenched his jaws and clutched the phone in his hand tightly. He knew the call he received that day was leading him to a trap. His men had informed him the Hamiltons were planning something and he decided to play along. "No. I'll tell her later... I'll only put her in danger if I tell her now. She might become their target if they think they failed in their schemes to deal with me," Henry said through gritted teeth. He hated leaving Roxanne a few days before their wedding but he didn't have a choice. His enemies were up to something and he had to make them believe they had won. That was the only way she would be safe until he was sure he could protect her. "Miss Smith will be worried though..." Diego remarked and continued driving towards Redwood City. Henry closed his eyes and thought, 'I know. She will think I

‘This is a nightmare,’ Roxanne said in her mind as she walked down the aisle. This was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. However, instead of it being perfect, she had become a laughing stock. Almost everyone was waiting to see her make a fool of herself. She glanced at Maya and Miriam who were now seated in the front row. Their victorious smirks felt like sharp objects were piercing through her organs one at a time. ‘Could Henry have really changed his mind about marrying me?’ Although she trusted Henry, she couldn’t help but let other people's negative words get to her. Henry had been out of reach for a week after all. She couldn’t blame everyone for thinking she was dumped at the altar. Regardless, Roxanne walked towards the altar with her head held high, praying silently that Henry would show up at that moment because her enemies would rejoice in her misfortune if he didn't. “Are you marrying yourself?” The officiator asked and Roxanne’s stomach lurched as the

Roxanne couldn’t help it. As Henry said his vows, tears rolled down her cheeks and her heart fluttered wildly. She never thought the man who was standing in front of her would ever fall in love with her. After all, Henry himself had proposed the deal for a fake marriage. However, as he looked into her eyes, donned in that slim-fit navy suit looking like a prince from an otherworldly kingdom, her heart swelled with warmth. His words felt like a heavenly symphony that came to liberate her soul. “I’ll be faithful to you, I’ll trust you and I’ll love you till my very last breath,” Henry added after a few seconds of brief silence. He noticed Roxanne wasn’t ready to speak yet so he prolonged his vows. Taking out his handkerchief, he helped to wipe her tears. “I hope these are tears of joy. I don’t want to ever make you cry unless it’s because I gave you good sex,” Henry joked and the crowd laughed. No one knew the aloof CEO could crack jokes. A few people were in tears too, just
