ELOISEFurious, I decided to take a break from my daily tasks and headed to Sebastian Tower during lunchtime. The reason for my frustration was my colleagues’ constant gossip, speculating about how I had won over a Sebastian. They were also questioning why I’d refused that we were seeing each other the first time. I’d only managed to avoid running into Zoey or Chase because they’d make a big deal of it again. I rushed to Adam’s floor, and since the lobby was empty, I decided to just confront him. “Can you explain why—” I came to a halt, causing six pairs of eyes to shift towards me, with Adam positioned at the forefront. “Eloise,” he said, acknowledging my presence. “Oh, I’m... I’m really sorry. I wasn’t aware that you were, um, forget it.” I took a step back and promptly shut the door behind me. I waited until Adam’s meeting was over. I couldn’t believe he had taken such a monumental step without consulting me first. It felt like he was dictating the course of our already weird

ELOISENina: Congratulations on your engagement! I saw it on the news.Me: Thanks. Does he know?Nina: I’m pretty sure the viscount already knows. By the way, I have something to tell you later. Can you call me when you have some time? It’s important.Finally, some good results. He would stop thinking that I was available for Callum.The next evening, Adam’s driver was on time in front of the office building. I got into the sleep black Rolce Royce, and we drove off. I’d been to Adam’s place before, but the feeling was different. It was like something huge would happen, and I was a little nervous.“Miss Eloise,” the driver announced as we arrived, pulling me from my thoughts. I stepped out into the cool evening, the doorman greeting me with a nod that had become familiar, and then I went up to the elevators where Adam’s penthouse led.Adam welcomed me at the door, looking impeccable in his cream sweats and gray joggers. His stance was a perfect blend of warmth and formality.“Good eve

ELOISEAdam’s kiss became more urgent, our breaths blending and my heart racing. His hands traced the line of my neck, and each touch of his fingers sparked paths of fire on my skin.Softly, his fingers traced the edge of my shirt as he slowly lifted it. He stared at my already swollen breasts with the curves covered by my lace bra. His face displayed intense desire, but his eyes held a flicker of admiration. With a quick motion, he fumbled with the clasp behind me, undoing my bra and leaving me completely bare.Then his fingers found the zipper of my pants. The sound of it gradually lowered, and then he carefully pulled the fabric along my panties, causing a shiver to run through me, not from the cold but from the building anticipation.“Beautiful,” he whispered as he climbed onto the bed—on top of me. We were both bare now, my skin against his, and there was nothing else on my mind except the two of us. At this moment, only Adam and I mattered. It felt like a hypnotic spell had been

ADAMA week ago…“Where are you?” Arianna whispered into her phone.“I just arrived.” A valet appeared before me, and I stepped out of the car, swiftly fastening my suit buttons. “I’ll meet you there,” she hissed. “We have to decide what we’ll say to Christopher.”“We don’t say anything.”“I don’t know why you had to be here when he’s already suspicious. Is this how you said you would handle it?”I gritted my teeth. “You don’t get to question me. Are you afraid of Christopher?” I asked firmly, as I often did when I wanted her to yield.“No, sir.”“Good. Stay wherever you are.”“Who are you talking to—”The call dropped. I was certain that was Christopher’s damn voice. Just hearing it brought back all those nasty memories he inflicted on me, making me cringe.Luckily, just in time, Blaire appeared next to me in a long, glittery red dress that was almost painful to look at, hooking her hand on my arm.“The act hasn’t started yet, so watch your actions. Your husband will be here,” I war

ELOISEI didn’t give much thought to what Adam would gain from this marriage anymore. I was on the edge of a cliff, but I really didn’t want to die, so I chose to survive rather than be killed. Callum would be the end of me, while Adam would be my saving grace, like creatures in the jungle where the weak seek shelter from the strong.But I didn’t anticipate that preparing for this wedding would still be challenging. After I announced to Nina that Adam and I were getting married, Mr. Ross, her uncle, arrived two days in Manhattan after our conversation.We were meeting with Mr. Ross in Adam’s office now, where we could formally discuss everything, even though Adam hadn’t fully taken action yet.“It is a tradition for Sebastians to marry on our estate, Mr. Ross. A Sebastian wedding is a big celebration. We are at the center of attention, given our family’s connections. Billionaires and big names from New York City and the media will attend. Our family is in the entertainment business.”
