CHAPTER ELEVEN: HOT FIGHT WITH THE GIRLS

‎“Don’t marry him,” Anna said abruptly.‎“Do you have any reason for saying that?” Barbara asked curiously.‎“I don’t,” Anna replied. “But you know, you’ll be dealing with Sydney.”‎“Oh, you mean that lady who claimed to be Jason’s girlfriend at the party?” I asked.‎“It’s not just a claim. It’s the truth. They’re in a relationship.”‎“So?” I shrugged.‎“I’ll advise you not to marry him.”‎“But I have no choice. Mika—my horrible cousin—is going to take over after all my hard work.”‎“Isn’t there anything you can do about it?” Barbara asked.‎“If there was, do you think I’d be complaining? Mom has her reasons for this marriage. Neither Jason nor I are interested in it, but our moms are desperate. So, I guess I’ll have to do this for her.”‎“I support your decision, Alexa,” Barbara said softly. “Since your mom wants it, I’ll respect that. But from what I’ve seen, Jason must be very obnoxious and impudent. Don’t let him hurt you. And considering how your marriage isn’t based on love, you

CHAPTER TWELVE: DINNER AT THE ANDERSON'S

“Hey, Alexa.”Mika’s voice cut sharply through the room, her expression twisted into a deep frown.I noticed immediately how Jace and Mika’s eyes locked—too interested, too flirtatious for my comfort.“Oh… is this the rich guy you’re supposed to marry?” Mika asked with a smug little grin. “You’re lucky. Getting one of the Anderson twins? He’s hot.”“Hi,” Jace said, waving casually.“Hey,” Mika replied with a bright smile.“Is she your cousin?” Jace asked.I stared at both of them, uneasy at how boldly they exchanged looks.“Alexa?” he called again.I arched a brow at him.“I’m her cousin. Mika Davis.” Mika answered proudly.“Not bad,” he said with a smirk.“Alexa, I need you to work on a document immediately,” Mika said suddenly, throwing a stack of files onto my desk with unnecessary force.“Hey, you—!” I snapped.“Remember, I’m in charge here,” she said with a nasty little snarl. “So don’t you dare refuse. Bye, handsome.” She winked at Jace before strutting out.“Oh? She called me h

CHAPTER THIRTEEN: INTERNET PAPARAZZI

Mrs. Stones sat elegantly on the couch, one leg crossed over the other as she scrolled through her phone. A photo suddenly caught her attention — Jason Anderson and Alexa Leonard were trending everywhere.“Jason Anderson and Alexa Leonard to be engaged in one week.”Her lips slowly curved into a sinister smirk. She opened the comment section.“Isn’t this strange?”“It’s definitely business-related.”“Maybe Alexa proposed — who can resist Jason?”“Or they’re hiding something.”“Do they even love each other? It’s so sudden.”“Maybe it’s arranged.”Mrs. Stones chuckled quietly.“Absurd,” she muttered. “Looks like it’s the right time to pay Suzan and Jessica a visit. They need to remember who they’re dealing with.”Her grin widened — cruel, confident, and dangerous.SYDNEY’S POV“What the hell?!” I screamed as I stared at the posts plastered all over the internet.Marriage.Jason Anderson… marrying someone else.I hurled a glass at the floor, the shattering sound barely calming my rage. I

CHAPTER FOURTEEN: DO YOU ACCEPT HIM AS YOUR HUSBAND?

The sun rose gently, announcing a new day…A day I never imagined for myself — the day I would marry someone I did not love.I opened the curtains and stared at my garden. My beautiful garden. I remembered cutting flowers for my parents back when things were simple and happy. My chest tightened.How much I was going to miss this view.A wedding.But not the kind I dreamed of — not the type where I stood beside someone who loved me and whom I adored in return.For the past week, my mother and Mrs Anderson had worked tirelessly on the engagement arrangements, squealing with excitement like children who had just received Christmas presents. Meanwhile, my reality felt like an emotional prison.Yesterday, I went to my house to pack. I placed the home in the care of a lady I trusted. I didn’t pack everything — a part of me knew I would still return someday. At least on days when life became unbearable.I sighed.I’m getting married today… to a total jerk.And I had to face it.My phone rang

CHAPTER FIFTEEN: KEEPING MALICE WHILE LIVING TOGETHER

“Erm…” I stammered.“You had no right to kiss me,” he said coldly.“I only wanted to prove to her that we’re really in love.”“Are we?” he asked sharply.I fell silent. Why was he even overreacting? It was just a kiss.“I warned you before, Alexa,” he added. “Don’t start building false hopes that we’ll fall in love. That will never happen. Think straight—and never kiss me without my permission.”With that, he walked away.“What an asshole!” I muttered, shaking my head. Why did I even kiss him?Barbara and Anna walked up to me.“Wow, calm down, Mrs. Anderson. That kiss was intense,” Barbara teased with a grin.I rolled my eyes.“Be careful,” Anna warned.“What do you mean?” I asked.“Don’t attract too much attention from the press, or they’ll start monitoring your entire life.”“True. Thanks.”“Treat him well tonight, okay?” Barbara added playfully.“Stop that,” I snapped.Jace walked over with a bright smile.“Hey, gorgeous.”“Hey, Jace.”“Nice kiss you had there,” he winked.“Would y

CHAPTER SIXTEEN: HOLLY WILLIAMS ARRIVAL

“Greg,” I repeated slowly.“Yes?” he replied.“That name sounds familiar.”“Really?”“Hm… maybe I’ve heard it somewhere. But I don’t think I’ve seen this face before, so it’s probably just a coincidence.”Greg chuckled softly. “Either way, it was nice meeting you,” he said with a charming smile.“I’d love to see your beautiful face again,” he added, his gaze lingering on me.That look sent a strange shiver down my spine.He smiled once more, walked over to his red Porsche, and drove off.If I were being honest, the first thing I noticed about him was how strikingly handsome he was. Tall, well-built, with deep blue eyes and irresistible pink lips. His black-and-brown hair was clearly dyed—but it suited him perfectly. A round face, sharp nose, and a lean, athletic build.I caught myself fantasizing about his muscles.This was definitely my type.Shaking my head, I walked to my car and drove home.***************** **“Why did you want to see me?” Jason asked coldly.“I just—”“If you ha

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: COLD AND GRUMPY ATTITUDE

It had been weeks, yet Jason and I were still locked in silent malice.In front of the press, we played the perfect couple. Behind closed doors, we were cold strangers living under the same roof.I was slowly getting used to it.No one seemed to care about what was truly happening in our marriage—well, except the press.I decided to focus solely on the company and nothing else. Barbara had once introduced me to a dating app, but I couldn’t care less. I wasn’t ready for anything like that.Still, it seemed Jace had noticed the tension between Jason and me.“Hey, sister-in-law.”“Hi, Jace.”“So… what’s going on between you and your husband?”“What do you notice that’s wrong?” I asked calmly.“I asked first.”“And I’m throwing the question back at you,” I replied, folding my arms provocatively.“Alright, fine. I notice Jason has been cold and grumpy. Are you guys even on good terms?”“Your brother has always been grumpy. That shouldn’t be news to you.”“Well… he once had a smiley face.”

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: MYSTERIOUS GREY/ANOTHER TROUBLE AHEAD

JASON’S POV“How’s your marriage?” Rufus asked.“How do you expect it to be? All lovey-dovey?” I scoffed.“You still haven’t answered my question.”“Well, I can’t.”“Oh, stop it and just speak.”“We haven’t been talking.”“Why?”“I don’t know.”Rufus sighed and nodded.“As your friend—and unofficial counselor—I’ll advise you to talk to her.”“Why should I?”“Because you need to swallow your damn ego, bro.”“You don’t understand. She kissed me without my permission.”“So?”“Forget it.”“Jason, you’re married now. What good does keeping malice do you?”“I don’t know. Maybe it’s better if we just don’t talk—”“Argh! Jason, I’m tired of convincing you.”“Then stop,” I said coldly.Rufus paused, then frowned deeply.“Don’t tell me you still have feelings for Sydney. I warned you already.”“It’s nothing like that.”“Then what is it?”I stayed silent.“That girl is trying to lure you again, and you’re letting her. Why are you being stupid?” Rufus snapped.“I don’t want to talk about it.”“Yo

CHAPTER NINETEEN: VIRAL RUMORS #FILTHY BITCH

“I can’t believe this,” Jennifer exclaimed.“What is it this time?” Jace said lazily. “Let me guess—your celebrity crush Rick has a new girlfriend, or Kelly Hart bought another car, or you’re jealous of Ariana—”“Shut the fuck up and look at this!” Jennifer snapped, shoving her phone at him.Curious, Jace leaned closer.Alexa Leonard Caught Flirting With Another Man Weeks After Marrying Jason AndersonHis eyes widened.“Isn’t that Alexa?” Jennifer asked.“This can’t be her,” Jace retorted.“Check the comments.”THIS LADY IS SUCH A BITCHHOW CAN SHE DO THIS?NOT SURPRISED.

CHAPTER TWENTY: EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN/ HIS CONSOLING WORDS

Mrs. Leonard paced the living room restlessly, phone pressed tightly to her ear.“Dylan, make an appointment with Mrs. Hart immediately,” she ordered sharply. “She must find a way to stop these rumours about my daughter.”She ended the call and turned angrily to Austin.“Austin, do something too. We can’t just sit around while my daughter is being insulted and dragged through the mud.”Austin stared at her coldly.“But what if it’s true?”“Exactly!” Mrs. Anderson’s voice cut in as she walked into the mansion.“Susan,” Mrs. Leonard called, clearly irritated.“Jessica, what has your daughter done?” Mrs. Anderson snapped. “She’s not only ruining your image but ours as well.”“Do you even believe those rumours?” Mrs. Leonard asked, fuming.Mrs. Anderson sighed. “Honestly, whether it’s true or not doesn’t matter right now. What matters is fixing this—fast. We can deal with the truth later.”Mrs. Leonard raised her brows. “Really?”“Yes. Your daughter should be the one answering questions r
