Chapter 1

Chloe's POV"Your Engagement to Lucas has been annulled, you're marrying someone else."I was some seats away from my father's large study table but it felt like he had pierced a sword into my heart up close."What do you mean father? I just got engaged yesterday, you liked Lucas, is this a joke?""I wish it was my princess, this is for something bigger, you can't meet up with that man again, get ready for your husband." He said and continued going through the files on his table.Lucas had been my boyfriend for the longest time, he had met my family and heck, they've even complimented us on several occasions.I had gotten impatient when the proposal wasn't forthcoming, I felt he only wanted me for the good time but alas! He had gone on his knees the previous night and placed a diamond ring on my finger, was I supposed to throw all that away?"Father, you can't possibly do this, Lucas is my life." I said, my voice quivering.It felt like life has been pulled out of me, e

Chloe's POVThe Neon sign was bright, bright enough for me to see from the distance.*Comfort Bar* it read, it was the only place I could go to and not be reminded of how my life just plunged into a dark hole.With tears still streaming down my face and a headache that could blind me at any given time, I walked all the way to the bar."What can I offer you ma?" The bartender asked as soon as I sat down on the stool close to him."Something strong enough to make me pass out for a day or two, something that will help me forget what I'm going through."He looked at me like I had developed horns, but I knew his job description didn't allow him to probe further."Coming right up." He said instead and disappeared under the desk.I sighed and looked around the bar. It was my first time at one and looked nothing like I had expected. There was a dance floor for people who wanted to do more than shake their head to the music."Here Ma." He said and slid the glass across the

Chapter 3

Chloe's POVI was walking on burning coal.The walk to the aisle was one I dreaded, not because marriage wasn't something I liked but because my father was giving me away to a total stranger.I turned to look at him, walking beside me with a big smile plastered on his face. I have always wondered how he managed to do this; pretend like everything was fine when it wasn't."This one will be over before you know it and you'll be at home in no time." He said and tapped the back of my hand lightly."Home?" I asked."Your husband's house darling, you'll be just fine. Don't do anything stupid and we won't have any issues." He said, the whole time the smile was still on his face, one who didn't know would probably think it was a father reassuring his daughter.I sighed.We walked to the aisle. From a distance, I could see my "supposed " groom. He would have easily passed as my dream man but right now, his height annoyed me.My father stopped at the little stairs that led to the stage and walk

As much as I liked the writeup, it wasn't as effective as I wanted because I had found her in the house."What are you doing here?" I asked, looking at the woman who I had thought would have walked out of the marriage last night."Watching a movie." She said and rolled her eyes."I don't mean what – what are you still doing in my house? You should be at your father's house by now if you really didn't want this marriage." I said turn off the TV.She turned to look at me, rage burning in her eyes "You think that rubbish you pulled off last night was funny? What did you do that for?""Maybe if you haven't gotten the memo, I need to spell it out for you, I don't fucking want this sham of a marriage and if you know what's go

Chapter 5

Chloe's POV "Your mission there is to get everything, every information I need, don't get too comfortable in your honeymoon phase."I sat up not believing my ears "what do you mean Dad? Isn't this supposed to be for a merger? You said it yourself, didn't you?" I asked confused."Don't act like a kid, I've shown you everything you need to understand in this business but you keep acting like a new comer, no one is actually your friend, you have to be alert always."Typical of my Dad, he had just woken me with his call to break it to me that marrying Grayson was for no merger, instead, he had planted me as a spy to give him information, report every financial decision they made.How low does he have to go? And what was he ready to exchange me for in pursuit of the success of his company?"I can't do that Father, it's bad enough that I have to be here till God knows when, now you're turning me into a mole? What if I get caught? Do you think Mr. Coleman would spare me?""Princess, you hav
