Tiana’s POVI plopped down on my couch as I ended the call with the wedding dress designer and let out a sigh. Today had been a really stressful day. Madison, my twin sister, would be getting married tomorrow and I had been handling most of the preparations. Maddie had always wanted a big wedding but the circumstances called for a really small one. She was getting married to the most eligible bachelor in New York, who also happened to be my boss, Seth Berkley. It was crazy how they met a few weeks ago at a bar and they were already getting married. Seth was a billionaire who should obviously spend a lot of money on his wedding. I knew there was more to their story but Maddie said she wasn’t allowed to tell me.I strolled to my kitchen for a cup of water while waiting for my sister to get back home. My phone started to ring so I went back to the living room to get it. Tonight was gonna be a long one.I saw that it was Maddie calling so I picked the call, there was noise at the other

Tiana's POVI took a step back as his words hit me. “What?” I frowned at him. “That is nonsense, I can’t betray Maddie like that. What are you even saying?”“Let me explain myself to you, then you can decide if you want to help me or not.” As if what I had heard wasn’t crazy enough, I found myself following him to the coffee shop in the hospital. I ordered an ice tea while Seth just had a glass of water. I was curiously waiting for him to spew the rest of his nonsense so I could tell him how crazy he was. I never thought my boss would suggest something like that to me. This confirms my suspicion that he and Madison weren't truly in love. Why would you even want to get married to someone you didn't love? “Before I say anything, you should know that your sister knows about this and she agreed to it.”I didn’t say a word, I took a sip from my drink and waited for him to continue. Seth cleared his throat before saying, “In my inheritance trust clause, it is stated that I have to be ma

Tiana's POVI wasn't able to sleep that night. The effect of Maddie's accident was heavy in my heart, making me cry almost throughout the night. The next morning, I tried to ignore the knot of guilt I was feeling in my stomach. It felt as if I was stealing something that belonged to my sister. I knew she must have been dying to tell me why she was getting married so soon but she must have signed some NDA with Seth. I tried to convince myself that I was doing the right thing by not only saving Seth's ass, I was saving all the employees at Berkley Empire who would lose their jobs if Seth lost his inheritance. I packed a few of Maddie's clothes that she had initially picked out for her honeymoon. Even though we wore the same sizes, our dressing style was different. I loved simple and modest dresses while Maddie loved flashy, short and slutty dresses. I was forced to pack some of my clothes too just in case.After checking on Maddie at the hospital, I informed the doctor that I wouldn'

Tiana's POVSeth walked into the bedroom just in time to see me staring at the bed anxiously. "Where am I going to sleep?" I questioned as I turned to face him.He arched his brows at my questions, "on the bed, where else would you sleep?" He began to remove his wrist watch and dropped it on the nightstand. "There is only one bed, you stated in the contract that there should be no unnecessary contact, how is that going to be possible if we share the same bed?" He scoffed as he walked past me, removing his jacket, "you make it sound like I actually want to touch you. I won't sleep on the couch but you can if you want to." With that, he disappeared into the bathroom.His words were like a slap on my face. I shouldn't be hurt but the fact that he sounded like he hated the idea of touching me, hurt more than I cared to admit. Not that I wanted him to touch me, but he still shouldn't have said it in a cold way. I brushed the thought off my mind when our suitcases finally arrived. I to

Tiana's POV When we got back to our suite that night, I retired to bed immediately. My initial plan was to sleep on a couch in the sitting room, but I was tired and jet lagged and decided to sleep on the bed instead.I used some pillows to form a line at the center of the bed, to demarcate my side and Seth's. That should at least prevent any form of contact from happening. I changed into my pajamas while Seth made some calls in the living room. I wanted to be asleep before he came to the bedroom, I wasn't sure I would be able to sleep anymore if he met me like this. I couldn't stop thinking about the way he looked at me earlier. If he had looked at me like that while we were alone, heaven knew what I would have done. Just then, Seth marched into the room, ruining my plan. His brows arched when he saw the pillows I used in dividing the bed. "Really?" He asked, staring at me with a questioning look."Yeah, it is to create boundaries. I know you hate the idea of touching me and you

Tiana’s POVI giggled as Elina tossed the water at me. I fell back into the water before splashing her too. Seth and I saw them while we were walking through the beach earlier. I was really glad there were more people to have fun with."Simon, come on, the water is really nice!" Elina called out to her husband who was seated next to Seth on a mat. "I'm good, baby." He yelled so we would hear him over the waves. My eyes moved to Seth, silently asking him the same question, he shook his head in response and continued talking to Simon. I let my eyes stay on him for a while, observing how handsome he looked sitting over there with his hair tousled on his head. How did Madison get so lucky to get a man like him? But then again, he and people like my sister belonged to each other.I had been working with him for years and he had never noticed me, but he noticed my sister the first time they met at the bar. "Hey! You are staring." Elina tapped my shoulder, jolting me back to reality."Uh

Tiana's POVAs the doors slid open, Seth let go of my legs and pulled me along with him, unlocking the door to our suite. He walked straight to the bedroom, tossed me on the bed and resumed kissing me."What did you say you want again? Uh?" He rasped, pulling my bikini off my body, his other hand kneading my breast."I want you inside me, Seth." I whispered.He removed his shirt and tossed it to the side before moving between my knees. He looked up at me and as our eyes met, we both froze. Like a bucket of cold water had been thrown on the both of us, the reality of what we had done hit us. He scrambled off my body while I quickly gathered the sheet on the bed to cover my chest, breathing heavily. I didn't dare look at him again, the guilt of what I had done was heavy in my heart. Why the hell did I allow myself to get lost in this?"We... This can't happen again. I shouldn't have done that to you. It was a really big mistake." He said before grabbing his shirt from the shirt and w

Tiana's POVI stomped into the suite, pacing to and fro the sitting room, my fingers flexed before balling into a fist. I finally stopped pacing and sat on the couch, burying my face between my palms as I stared down at the floor.It was him who mentioned that the staff would immediately alert his father if they found anything suspicious, now look at him, eating with another woman, laughing, flirting and getting all touchy with her. Wait, was I jealous? Or was I just mad that he abandoned me for so long to be with someone else? Argh! That was the same thing.No, I shouldn't be mad, I shouldn't be jealous. He wasn't even mine. He never was. He was free to do whatever he wanted to do with other women as long as my life returned back to normal after this shitty two weeks honeymoon, I was okay with it.I didn't know for how long I sat there but when I stood up and started to head to the bedroom, Seth walked into the suite. I turned to him, making sure not to show any sign of anger. He lo

Tiana's POVThe party was held on the resort's rooftop terrace, it was filled with so many elites and rich people that are in the same league as Seth. As Seth and I walked through the double doors, I held my head high as we moved through the crowd. The men's mouths watered as I walked past them, earning them glares from their partners and glower from Seth.I wasn't a fan of attention, but right now, it was necessary if I wanted to be Maddie. And this dress, it was getting the job done for me. This was how my sister felt everyday, she was always in control, she always walked like she owned the whole freaking room. I felt the same, because, right now, everyone's attention was on us. "Madison! You goddess!" Elina appeared in front of me, looking glamorous in a shimmering silver cocktail dress. She ignored Seth completely and grabbed my shoulders, her eyes wide as she spun me around. "My goodness, you look sexy as hell. This dress is a killer. Seth, you are a fool if you let her out o

Tiana's POV "Mr Berkley, it's so good to see you here, I've been meaning to talk to you." A huge man came from behind me and shook hands with Seth, who immediately put on his business face. Phew! That was close. "I'll be at the bar." I informed him. He wanted to say something, but the man wouldn't let him out of his sight, so he simply nodded at me. I headed back to the bar but Sutton was no longer there. I said a silent thank you to the universe because I no longer had the strength to argue with her. "Hey, beauty." A blonde man said as he walked up to me with a glass of whiskey in his hand. I tried to ignore him by looking at the other side of the room, but it only made him move closer to me."I'm Gabriel, by the way. What's your name, sexy?" He slurred, practically stripping my dress off my body with his eyes. Eww. "Shouldn't you be with your wife? I assume everyone here is married." I replied curtly.He smiled before sipping his whiskey, "oh, I have a woman, but we aren't ma
