All Chapters of ENTANGLED MARRIAGE : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Jason’s POVWhen she entered the restaurant, I froze. Her hair—silky and perfect. Her eyes—captivating. Her lashes framed them like art, her lips were plump and tempting, her curves... flawless. Her smile was charming, and for a second, I forgot how to breathe.I tried to push her out of my head at the office, but it didn’t work.Jace strolled in, lightly tapping my shoulder.“Hey, baby bro,” he teased.“And how exactly am I your baby brother?” I asked dryly.“Because I’m five minutes older than you.”I chuckled. “You’re ridiculous.”“So... how was your date?”“Cool,” I said flatly.“What do you mean cool? Tell me more! Was she beautiful? Did you like her?”“Stop asking so many questions, Jace. Just leave me alone.”“I’m not leaving until you talk.”I sighed, exasperated. “Fine. She’s beautiful, alright? Beyond beautiful. Happy now?”He grinned. “Nope. Tell me more.”“You’ve met her before.”“Wait—what? Where?”“Well... once you meet her again, you’ll know.”He raised a brow. “Now I’m

Alexa’s POV I dressed quickly and drove to the restaurant Jason and I had agreed on. My mind drifted briefly to my mother and whatever she had wanted to tell me earlier, but it was clear she wasn’t ready yet. I pushed the thought aside. The restaurant was already buzzing when I arrived. I scanned the room once… twice. No Jason. A faint unease settled in as I took a seat and reached for my phone. Just as I was about to dial his number, the door opened. Jason walked in. For a second, I forgot how to breathe. He looked effortlessly composed, confident in that quiet way that made people notice him without him trying. I caught myself staring and quickly looked away. “Hi, Miss Alexa,” he said with a polite smile. “Sorry I kept you waiting. I had a meeting.” “It’s fine,” I replied smoothly. “I only just got here.” He ordered for us with ease, his presence filling the space between us. When his gaze returned to me, it lingered. “You look stunning,” he said. I smiled faintly. “You d

ALEXA'S POV“So you’re trying to tell me that you know each other?” Jason asked, confusion flickering across his face.“Yes,” my mom and his mom chorused.“Yeah,” Austin and Jennifer said, stealing glances at each other.“How?” I asked curiously.“Well… when I was back in university, I had two friends, Katey and Susan. We were best of friends, always seen together all the time. But we were separated because of a certain issue, and we lost contact since then,” Mrs. Leonard said.“That kind of explains better… So, Jennifer?” I turned my gaze to her.“Um… well, well…” Jennifer stammered nervously.“I and Jennifer were once in a relationship,” Austin said.“When?... where?” I asked anxiously.“England. Remember I once travelled to England for some things?” Austin replied.“But Jennifer happened to be in Germany,” Jason cut in immediately.“Erm… I travelled to England with my friends for some months. So I came across Austin and we dated for a few months before we broke up due to some issue

“Alexa, you have to get married to Jason,” my mom said.“Why?!” I exclaimed loudly.“Something’s up, and you really need to get married to him.”“Is it because of the people after my inheritance and our companies, Mom? I’ll be okay. I can protect myself—my brothers are there for me too. I don’t need to get married to that jerk,” I said, frowning.“You’ll have to endure that jerk’s attitude. I know you’re calling him a jerk, but he seems like a good guy. I saw his affection for you that day—at the party.”“Mom, that was just pretense!” I blurted out before realizing what I’d said.“What?” she exclaimed.I froze. It took me a few seconds to process what had just come out of my mouth.“What do you mean?” she pressed again.“Mom, the affection was pretense. We both agreed to deceive you and his mom. We wanted you to think we were in a serious relationship, which we obviously aren’t. It was just for the meantime—until we figured out how to break it off.”“I can’t believe you, Alexa. You we
