8 Chapters

chapter 1: The gift

Emilia Anderson stood in front of the mirror, smoothing down her red dress for the tenth time. Her hands were shaking. Today was her third wedding anniversary, and she had planned the most special surprise for her husband, Jason.She picked up the envelope from her dresser. Inside was a single piece of paper. But this wasn't just any paper. It was the document that would transfer her parents' company, Anderson Industries, to Jason's name.Her parents had died in a car accident when she was twenty. They had left her everything. The big house, the company, the money. She had been alone in the world until Jason came along.He had been so kind. So gentle. He would bring her flowers every week. He would hold her hand when she cried about missing her mom and dad. He told her she was the most beautiful woman in the world.“I love you more than anything,” he used to say. “I will take care of you forever.”Emilia believed him. She believed every single word.That was why she wanted to give him

chapter 2: Broken

It's been a week! A whole week of the handling-over shenanigans, and Jason hasn't stepped foot home since then. She had tried calling him several times, but he never picked up her calls. She was ready to apologize and do anything to save her marriage, but he wasn't giving her the chance to.Emilia's face brightened as her phone rang, seeing it was her best friend, Mirabel, calling. She shared practically everything with her, and she was also aware of the current chaos between them. She had initially wanted to go to the company and plead with Jason, but Mirabel had kicked against it and promised to speak to him since they work together.“Jason agreed to come home.”Emilia heaved a sigh of relief as her thoughts trailed off. The past week without Jason had been hellish for her, and she had aged a lot more.Under her eyes were dark circles, which had formed from staying up late and crying herself to sleep.She quickly ended the call as she drove herself to the spa for a makeover befo

chapter 3: Starting over

Emilia opened her eyes to unfamiliar surroundings.Soft white sheets. A massive bed. Floor-to-ceiling windows showing a view of the city skyline. The morning sun was streaming in, making her head pound even harder.Where was she?Then it all came rushing back. The betrayal, the bar, and the stranger she had spent the night with.She sat up quickly, too quickly that her head spun, and she had to grab the headboard to steady herself. The space next to her was empty, but the sheets were rumpled. Someone had been there.A note sat on the pillow.The room is paid for until noon. There's aspirin in the bathroom.That was it. No phone number. No last name. Nothing.Emilia crumpled the note in her hand. Good. This was what she wanted. One night with no strings attached. That was the deal.She climbed out of bed and walked to the bathroom. Her reflection in the mirror made her flinch. Mascara was smeared under her eyes. Her hair was a tangled mess. Her lips were swollen.But it was her eyes t

chapter 4: Fake fiancée?

Sebastian took a sip of his morning coffee as he waited for the assistance Raphael had hired.He had left the company in Raphael’s care since his divorce years ago, and now he was back. Back to being the ruthless CEO that shook the whole of America.He heard the door open as he looked up to welcome her.Sebastian's expression shifted from neutral to shocked to furious in the span of two seconds.“You,” he said, his voice low and dangerous.“I—” Emilia started, but she couldn't find words.Sebastian stood up from his desk. His height was towering and intimidating. His gray eyes were like storm clouds now, dark and threatening.“So this is your game,” he said, walking toward her. “You find out who I am, pretend to be drunk and helpless, and then you somehow get yourself hired at my company. What's next? Blackmail? Extortion?”“No!” Emilia found her voice. “I had no idea—”“Get out,” Sebastian said. “I want your resignation letter on my desk within the hour. And if you try to spread any

chapter 5: The Meeting

The night breeze blew gently as Emilia made her way home under the brightly illuminated light.She had returned to her office earlier without giving Sebastian a response.Pretending to be his fiancée was no big deal for her, but she wasn't confident enough to trust him with her big project.Recovering the company from Jason was still achievable, but she wasn't confident it would be the same once Sebastian got involved. He was a businessman after all and might be tempted to add the company to his group of companies.She sighs deeply as she takes a turn while thinking about the perfect excuse to give Sebastian until she is confident he won't convert the company.The loud horn breaks Emilia's train of thought as she glances briefly at the car behind her before continuing her journey.“Miss Anderson.”Emilia paused briefly as she took a few steps backwards, staring at the occupant of the vehicle. Her face didn't look familiar, and she couldn't recall meeting her before.“How may I help

Chapter 6: Photographed

Sebastian ignited the vehicle as he drove home for the first time in three months. Since his return to America, he either spends the night in the office or at random hotels and bars.The fear that Ava's remains linger in the house has made him stay away from it, but he couldn't shy away any longer, especially when his mother was visiting.The room was sparkling clean as he stepped in. Despite his absence, Raphael had ensured to keep everything clean, which he was grateful for.Sebastian clenched his fist in annoyance as he pulled down the photo frame adorning the wall.A bitter smile escaped his lips as he chuckled dryly. He was such a fool after all. He had seen all the signs and had ignored them.He was still holding onto the photo frame when Raphael walked in.“We need to pull down everything from this house.” He said, dropping the frame. “What about these?” Raphael asked, pointing at the heap of files he came in with.“That can wait.” Sebastian stormed off after his word as the d

Chapter 7: Tit for Tat

Sebastian dropped Emilia after hearing the click of the camera, and the latter looked horrified.“None of the pictures would make it to the papers. The guards will take care of it.” He reassured her as they walked into the restroom.From the corner of her eyes, Emilia could see the guards pinning the paparazzi down and hijacking her camera. For a split second, she had forgotten she was with a renowned billionaire, and her little stunt would definitely make a controversy for hunger bloggers.Emilia's face flickered in disbelief as Sebastian led her to the top floor of the restaurant. She knew the restaurant like the back of her hand and knew the first floor was never rented out no matter the amount you were willing to spend.Her face brightened in admiration as she saw the interior of the restaurant. The rumors she had heard didn't do justice in describing the floor.“You must have really pulled a lot of strings to be able to rent here.” She said as she stepped in.Sebastian chuckled l

Chapter 8: Divorced?

Sebastian sat at the restaurant as he watched the time pass by in a blur. It's been exactly eight hours since she excused herself to use the restroom and he had been foolishly waiting for her. Same way he waited Three years ago until he walked into a scene that left a scar in his heart until date.He picked up his phone that has been ringing nonstop for the past five hours as he swiped the receive icon.“Put the restaurant up for sale. Whatever you have to say can wait until I get to the office.” He said simply before ending the call.Sebastian drove straight to the office after ending the call, and Raphael's restless look was what greeted him.“I’m not in the mood for your nagging. I'll catch up with everything I missed today.” He said as he walked to his seat. “Photos of you and Emilia are on the front page of every article and blog. I thought you wanted to keep it private?” he asked, wondering what was going on in his mind.His marriage to Ava was only known to close family membe
