Chapter 1: Longing

In a room of its own world, filled with clinking of glasses and clicking against the marble floor, Tyler’s laughter was swallowed by the pulsing music and noise. “ Man, she's still going to be hanging around, isn't she?” Conrad asked, smiling as he shook his head. “ Of course,” Tyler said, leaning back like he owned the room. “ She will always be.” “ Your confidence.. man.” He shrugged. “ It doesn't matter what I do, she's there. Waiting. Like always. I don't even have to ask.” Conrad laughed, amused. “ Lucky bastard. That's an insane amount of loyalty, you know? Most guys would kill for that.” He smirked, tilting his head. “ Loyalty? Nah. I call it convenience. Tessa is predictable. Always there when I want her, ready to help and do everything I want, and that's all I care about.” “ Damn…” Conrad leaned back. “ She must really like you.” “ Doesn't matter if she does.” He replied, voice calm, almost amused. “ She's mine anyway… in the ways that matter. Everything else?

Chapter 2: Infuriating day

“ You're going to be late, Tessa!” Her mother yelled from downstairs while she hurriedly put on her corporate heels, panting as she tried smoothing her hair at the same time. “ I don't even know what she's doing, isn't she supposed to have taken a leave already?” She could hear her mummy grumbling. Truly, she was supposed to have taken a leave from work for her wedding preparations which is two days away now, but she couldn't risk it, this was a three-month internship program, and top-performing interns would be offered a permanent position upon completion. Tessa had applied for this program to gain more knowledge and a job to help her parent who are currently facing financial issues due to their company going bankrupt. She had to support the family, even though her father had protested. Then one evening they sat her down in the sitting room and told her about the marriage that was not just an arranged marriage but also a business collaboration. She remembered how her heart had

Chapter 3: Worst Nightmare

“ Holy shit! You look like a mess, Tess.” Another intern, Miles said the moment he saw her. “ What on earth happened to you?” He asked worriedly, quickly taking the coffee from her. Everyone’s eyes were now fixed on her, some with concern while some with mockery as they giggled over her ruined shirt and the way she was limping. “ Long story, Miles. Believe me, this day is a bad luck day.” She whispered, her cheeks reddened in embarrassment. She cracked a tiny smile of gratitude at Miles as he helped her hand over the coffees to each person. “ But seriously, you need to change that shirt, it's a mess.” “ I know, but I don't have any other one here.” She murmured, her shoulders slumping as she hung her head low. How is she supposed to face Tyler with her looking like this? If he sees her like this, he'd definitely laugh and say ‘ she's messy like always’. Tears filled her eyes. She was supposed to impress him, not make him laugh at her. ‘ This must be it, the reason why he ne

Chapter 4: Wrong decision

Grayson Beaumont. The name that imprinted itself in her head for the rest of the day. ‘ He's the CEO? A Beaumont? Does Tyler have a brother? But why have I never heard of him?’ Her brow furrowed deeply. ‘ No, there's no way Tyler has a brother and I'm not aware of it. I know everything about Tyler, his likes, his dislikes, there's nothing I don't know about him. And how come will he have a brother but never mention him?’ She reasoned to herself. ‘ Maybe… he's a cousin. That must be it, if they're cousins then that explains why he's a Beaumont cause Tyler told me the company belongs to him so yeah, Beaumont’s family owns the king's company...’ “ Tessa!” The call snapped her out of the thought, and she turned to look at everyone at the table looking at her. “ Are you okay, Tessa?” Ciara, Mrs. Beaumont asked worriedly. Tessa quickly put on a smile and nodded, adjusting herself in her seat. “ I'm totally fine.” “ You seem lost in thought for a second.” “ No, it's.. It's nothi

Chapter 5: The wedding

The most anticipated day was finally here, yet the morning felt unreal. The room buzzed with stylists, makeup artists, photographers adjusting their lenses, and assistants moving around with bouquets and fabric. White. Everything was white. White curtains, white roses, white dress. Tessa stared at herself in the mirror, her fingers lightly brushing the delicate lace on her shoulder. Her wedding day. Her lips curved shyly at her reflection. She hadn't seen Tyler since that flirty chat, but she told herself it was normal; he was probably busy with wedding preparations, knowing how stressful and chaotic they could be. Then her mind remembered the kiss. Her heart fluttered, her cheeks warmed at the memory of his text. [ “ Get your lips ready for me.”] She pressed her lips together softly, almost unconsciously. Maybe he wanted today to be special, maybe he wanted their first kiss to be as husband and wife, and the mere thought alone made her chest swell. “ It's time.” One of

Chapter 6: I do

“ I do.” Tessa didn't recognize her own voice. It sounded distant, mechanical, like it belonged to someone else standing at the altar in her white dress.The church was filled. Cameras flashed. Guests smiled. Applause echoed softly. But she felt nothing but ache in her chest, a pain that refused to die. Her hands were cold in his. Grayson Beaumont. Her husband. Even the word felt foreign and heavy. Her eyes still burns but she has not cried since she agreed, nor screamed, or fight. She just trembled slightly as if internally wanting to disappear, wanting everything to end.The priest waited for the applause to die down before reciting the husband's vows, but Grayson's eyes were fixed on her.None of her sniffles escaped him. Not her slight tremble. Not her brimming eyes.She didn't want this wedding, he could tell, but then he remembered something.********(Flashback)*****“ You talk like you actually care about me,” Grayson smirked as he glared at his parents in disbelief.“ We d

Chapter 7: His vow, his promise

Tessa’s tears paused. She stared back into his eyes like she wasn't sure of what he just said. “ You. You..” she stuttered. “ Yes.” He dropped his hands to her shoulder. “ We can still have our kiss, Tessy. I promised you remember?” He said, his voice so hoarse it made her cheeks burn. “ I told you to get your lips ready for me.” Her lips subconsciously pressed together. Her body trembling slightly.“ You're going to.. kiss me?” He smiled. “ I want to taste you.” Then he began leaning closer. Her lashes fluttered like it felt so unreal, that Tyler was going to kiss her, finally. Her breath shook as she inhaled, slowly closing her eyes and waiting for his lips to touch hers. ‘ You're married, Tessa. This is wrong.’ her mind screamed, but just then, a deep baritone voice came, sending shivers down their marrow. “ Get your fucking hands off my wife!” He thundered. Tessa flipped her eyes open to see a heavy punch landing on Tyler's jaw and sending him to the floor.

Chapter 8: Honeymoon

BEAUMONT’S FIRST SON WHO HAS NEVER APPEARED IN PUBLIC GOT MARRIED THE CEO OF KING'S CORPORATION, THE BRAIN BEHIND THE COMPANY'S SUCCESS IS GRAYSON BEAUMONT, NOT TYLER BEAUMONT THE CEO OF KING'S CORPORATION IS MARRIED Conrad read through different headlines, eyes sweeping across his tablet with his brow knitted in surprise. “ Do you know I actually forgot you have an older brother?” he said, eyes moving to Tyler who was casually sipping his whiskey. He smiled. “ Like for real,” Conrad added, dropped the tablet on the table, and turned to Tyler properly. “ Are you okay?” “ Is there a reason for me not to be?” Tyler asked, nonchalantly, the corner of his lips curved into an absurd smile. “ Your brother is now married to your best friend.” He said, expecting some kind of reaction. “ I can't believe this, that she would marry your brother, I thought she loved you.” “ Of course, she does.” He confirmed proudly, “ And she agreed to marry your brother?” Tyler chuc

Chapter 9: Hot threat

The pain in her ankle pulsed before anything else did, it was a persistent throb. If only she hadn't run earlier in those heels, they would not have worsened the pain that was endurable. It was the same ankle she had twisted when she fell down the stairs. But as if the day wasn't worse enough, there she was, Prisca, hands tangled with a man old enough to be her father. “ Tyler's pet?” The word struck harder than the pain. For a second, everything inside her stilled, heat crawled slowly up her neck, not embarrassment, something worse. Recognition. That was what her classmates and everyone else used to call her. The girl who followed Tyler everywhere. The girl who never dated. The girl who waited. Her fingers tightened around her purse until her knuckles whitened. Her heart squeezed tight. Across her, Prisca grinned, brows arched with curiosity, lips curled into a smirk with mockery, eyes sharp with amusement, judgment, and memory. Grayson did not speak, but everyone could

Chapter 10: You're shaking, Tess

Disdain radiates through her with a murderous glare. She breathed in slowly, exhaled calmly to ease the rage. Minutes had passed but she was still fuming. Tessa stood by the side of the bed, in her pajamas, eyes shooting daggers at the man lying on the other side of the bed. His arms folded across his chest as he lay on his side. “ I am not going to sleep with you on the same bed,” she informed sternly. “ Suit yourself.” He muttered. But he wasn't moving. Her brows creased as she watched him lying still on the bed. She swallowed and said again. “ It won't be comfortable for me to sleep on this small couch.” She said but got no response. “ Ain't gentlemen supposed to leave the bed for the ladies?” His body tilted back a little and his head as if attempting to take a look at her, but he turned back like he had given up. “ I'm sure you know I'm not a gentleman.” She scoffed. “ So where should I sleep?” “ Your choice darling, you're the one ditching the bed.”
