Chapter 2: The Morning After

Hailey's POVSunlight burned through my eyelids.I groaned and rolled over, my body aching. For a second, I forgot where I was then I saw the unfamiliar room, the expensive furniture, and the wedding dress crumpled on the floor where I'd stepped out of it last night.Right. I was married now.My phone buzzed on the nightstand, I grabbed it and saw seventeen missed calls from my best friend Mabel and about forty texts.Mabel: GIRL WHERE ARE YOUMabel: Did you really marry Evans Wilson???Mabel: The pictures are all over social mediaMabel: CALL ME RIGHT NOWI groaned again, I'd forgotten about Mabel. She was supposed to fly in from London for the wedding, but her flight got delayed. She'd missed everything.Before I could call her back, someone knocked on my door."Come in," I said, expecting a maid.Evans walked in instead.I yanked the blanket up to my chest even though I was wearing a T-shirt and shorts. He was already dressed in a sharp grey suit, looking like he'd stepped out of a

Chapter 3: Cracks in the Foundation

Evans' POVHailey burst into my office like a storm.I was in the middle of a video call with investors in Tokyo, but one look at her face told me this couldn't wait."Gentlemen, I'll call you back," I said, ending the call."What happened?" I asked as soon as the screen went dark."Chloe." Hailey crossed her arms. "Tell me the truth. Did you sleep with her?"The question hit me like a punch to the gut."What?""Did you sleep with her." Hailey's voice was shaking. "Because she just told me you two have been 'working very closely' for three years. She made it pretty damn clear what that meant."I stood up and walked around my desk. "Hailey, I didn't—""Don't lie to me, Evans. I'm your wife now, Fake or not, I deserve the truth.""I never slept with Chloe," I said firmly. "She's my employee. That's it.""Then why did she say that?""Because she's trying to get under your skin." I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. "Look, Chloe had a crush on me when she first started working here. I

Chapter 4: The Man Who Knows My Name

Hailey's POVThings changed after that night.Not dramatically. But slowly, like ice melting.Evans started joining me for breakfast. He'd ask about my day, make jokes and even smile more.We even had dinner together a few times. Real dinners, not just awkward meals where we avoided eye contact.It was nice. Almost normal.But I couldn't shake the feeling that he was hiding something.Two weeks after our conversation, Mabel finally flew in from London.I picked her up from the airport, and she practically tackled me in the arrivals hall."Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!" She squeezed me so hard I couldn't breathe. "You're married! To Evans Wilson! I still can't believe it!""Believe it," I said, laughing.She pulled back and examined me. "You look good. Different. More... grown up.""That's what happens when you become someone's wife overnight.""I need details. All of them. Right now."We went to a café near her hotel. I told her everything, the wedding, Chloe, the arrangement, how

Chapter 5: The Name That Haunted Me

Evans' POVI was in my office when my assistant told me about the car accident."There was an incident on Fifth Street this morning," Bernard said, handing me a report. "A black sedan hit a pedestrian. The victim was fine, but the driver fled the scene. Security cameras caught part of it."I barely heard him. I was too focused on Hailey. She had texted me that morning saying she was going apartment hunting with Mabel. They were supposed to be back by lunch."Where is the accident location?" I asked."Fifth Street. Near the shopping district."That was where Mabel wanted to look at apartments.My stomach dropped. I immediately called Hailey. She picked up right away."Are you okay?" I asked."I'm fine. Why?""There was an accident near where you were. I was worried.""Oh. Yeah, we saw it happen. It was scary but we're okay."I felt my shoulders relax. "Thank God.""Evans, something weird happened though.""What?""The man who saved me from the car. He was this really good-looking guy.

Chapter 6: The Call That Didn't Come

Hailey's POVUnknown number.I stared at the screen. It had to be Calix. He said he would call me. My heart was racing just thinking about what he might tell me. How did he know me? Why did he keep calling me Nana?I answered."Hello?"Nothing. Just silence. I could hear breathing on the other end, but no one was talking."Hello? Is anyone there?"Then the line went dead.I waited, thinking he would call back. But my phone stayed silent. I tried calling the number back, but it didn't work. The number didn't exist.I lay in bed for hours, staring at the ceiling. My mind kept replaying the moment Calix saved me, his hand healing itself, the way he looked at me like he knew me and the half-heart mark on my shoulder that appeared overnight.It didn't make sense. None of it made sense.Around three in the morning, I gave up trying to sleep. I got out of bed and went downstairs to get water from the kitchen.I found Evans there.He was sitting at the kitchen table in the dark, a cup of tea

Chapter 7: Protecting What's Mine Evans' POV

Evans' POVThe question kept repeating in my mind. Hailey had asked me about Calix. She already knew his name. She hadn't told me how she knew it. That meant they'd already talked. That meant he'd given her his name.I sat at my desk, staring at nothing, trying to figure out what to do.Hailey was in danger. Real danger. And she had no idea who this man really was. She didn't know that he was connected to the underground. She didn't know that he was hunting for something. Someone.I couldn't let him get close to her.I picked up my phone and called Marcus again."I need you to do more than just track him," I said. "I need full surveillance on Calix. I need to know everywhere he goes, everyone he talks to, and most importantly, I need to know every time he gets close to my wife.""That's going to be expensive, sir. And time consuming.""Money is not a problem. I want it done today.""And your wife? Does she know you're having her followed?"I paused. "No. She doesn't.""That's a proble

Chapter 8: The Unknown Call

Hailey's POVEvans found me in the garden the next morning.I was sitting on the stone bench near the fountain, nursing a cup of tea and trying not to think about Calix or his healing hand, or the way he looked at me like he knew me and the way Evans' face was when I mentioned Calix."Good morning," Evans said, sitting beside me. "Can we talk?""Of course." I turned to face him, surprised by the softness in his voice. "What's wrong?""Nothing is wrong." He took my hand gently. "Actually, I want to tell you something. Something that might make things between us better."My heart did a little flip. "Okay. Tell me.""I've been thinking about us. About our marriage and where we want it to go." He squeezed my hand. "And I realized that I want to do something to show you how serious I am about making this real.""What do you mean?""I want to renew our vows. Publicly. In front of everyone." He smiled, and it was genuine. "I want the whole world to know that I chose you. Not because of circu

Chapter 9: Unknown call 2

My good mood started to crack.I called Mabel instead, trying to push the strange call out of my mind."Hey!" she answered immediately. "I was just about to text you. How are you?""Good. Great, actually. Evans wants to renew our vows. He's going to do it publicly, and he said it's a promise that he wants to make this marriage real. Can you believe it?""Oh my God, that's amazing!" Mabel screamed. "You finally got him!"I laughed, but it sounded hollow even to my ears. "I know. I'm so happy.""When is it happening?""He didn't say exactly. But soon, I think. Bernard is probably arranging it.""You have to let me help plan it," Mabel said. "I want to be involved. This is huge, Hailey. This is actually happening."We talked for a while longer, but my mind kept drifting back to that phone call. The silence. The breathing. The way it cut off so suddenly.Who was calling me?And why did they keep hanging up?Over the next two weeks, I threw myself into vow renewal planning.Bernard had boo

Chapter 10: Trouble

Evans' POVThe morning of the vow renewal came quickly, I stood in my room and looked at myself in the mirror.I had been waiting for this day for so long.After today, everything would be different. After Hailey and I renewed our vows in front of everyone, it would be official, Real and undeniable.Calix would not be able to get close to her. No man would dare try to take her from me after I promised her forever in front of all these people.She was mine. And today, I was going to make sure the entire world knew it.I checked my phone one more time. Marcus had sent an update. Calix was not in the city. He had left Paris three days ago. Good. That meant he could not interrupt anything.The venue was beautiful. White flowers everywhere. Soft music playing. Hailey had chosen everything with care, and it showed.I watched from the side as guests arrived. My family, her family, business partners and friends.Everyone who mattered was here.Then I saw them.Valarie walked through the doors
