Chapter 22Later that evening, Kaitlyn found herself on the balcony, needing a moment to catch her breath. The city lights stretched out before her, a sea of twinkling stars that seemed to mirror the overwhelming emotions flowing within her.Estefan joined her a moment later, his presence comforting. “You’re doing great,” he murmured, his hand resting on the railing next to hers.Kaitlyn turned to him, her heart pounding in her chest. “This is all so much. Your parents, Michael, Melissa, this party feels surreal.”Estefan nodded, his expression softening. “I know it’s a lot, but you handled it perfectly. My parents already adore you.”Kaitlyn smiled, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I hope so.”Estefan tilted her chin up gently, forcing her to meet his gaze. “They do. And so do I.”The sincerity in his voice took her by surprise. For a moment, the burden of their arrangement, the contracts, and the deception

Chapter 24Melissa paced the living room, her hands clenched into fists. The constant chatter about Kaitlyn and Estefan’s engagement was driving her insane. Every news article, every social media post, was a reminder of her own failures. She had lost everything: her best friend, her reputation, and now, even her sense of self. She had been so consumed by her desire to make Kaitlyn know she was the upper hand that she had lost sight of everything else and the possibilities of what Kaitlyn could do.Michael sat on the couch, watching her with a mixture of pity and concern. He knew how much this was hurting her, but he didn’t know how to help and was indeed powerless to render any help at the moment. He had lost his own sense of purpose after their betrayal, and now he felt like he was watching his life fall apart.Their relationship had been strained ever since they knew about Kaitlyn’s engagement, though they had put in effort in order to make it work,

Chapter 26The morning after the wedding, the world felt both familiar and entirely foreign to Kaitlyn. As the first rays of sunlight flow through the luxurious bedroom, she stirred, feeling the unfamiliar weight of a ring on her finger. The events of the previous day rushed back, bringing with them a mix of emotions she struggled to sort through.The bed beside her was empty; Estefan had already risen. She glanced at the clock: 7:00 AM. No surprise there. Estefan was a man of routine, and his business cleverness demanded early starts. The realization that she was now part of this world felt strange. This was her life now being Mrs. Estefan Salvatore, a name that carried weight, prestige, and no small amount of pressure.Kaitlyn swung her legs over the edge of the bed, her bare feet touching the cool marble floor. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. It was still early, but she knew she wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep. There wer

Chapter 28Michael Walker sat in his office, his eyes glued to the screen of his computer. He had spent the last few weeks distracted, barely able to concentrate on his work. The news had spread like wildfire, and now every media outlet was buzzing with the story: Kaitlyn Dever, the woman he had discarded, was now Mrs. Estefan Salvatore. Michael’s knuckles turned white as he gripped the edge of his desk, the muscles in his jaw tightening with every passing second.“How could she?” Michael muttered under his breath, his mind racing with a mix of anger, jealousy, and a constant sense of regret. He had expected Kaitlyn to crumble after their breakup, to wallow in misery while he and Melissa moved on with their lives. Instead, she had risen like a phoenix from the ashes, aligning herself with one of the most powerful men in the country and his big boss at that.He felt a sharp pang in his chest, a bitter truth of the life he could have had if he hadn’t be

The previous evening had gone better than she had hoped, and the genuine warmth from Estefan’s family had reduced much of Kaitlyn's anxiety. She felt like she was beginning to truly fit into her new life.As she got dressed for the day, she couldn’t help but think about the role she was playing. She was Kaitlyn Dever, now Mrs. Salvatore, married to one of the most powerful men in the city. A marriage on mutual agreement; a contract designed to serve both their purposes.Another thought about their supposed honeymoon, which was the next expected plan from them as newlyweds, sent a chill down her spine. It has been delayed for a few days, and Estefan had mentioned it briefly last week at the family gathering, and now she couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and curiosity at what he had planned.When Kaitlyn went downstairs, she found Estefan in the kitchen, pouring himself a cup of coffee. He looked up as she entered, his expression as unreadable as ever. “Good morning, Mrs. Salva
