1. Behind the facade

"If you want to know your boyfriend's truth, go to Hotel Rockcliffe, Room Number 1802." ~ NBrielle read the message again, stunned to receive such a bizarre message out of nowhere. But what baffled her even more was the person who had sent the message."Niklaus Callahan," she breathed, feeling the familiar name leave her lips. It had been years since she received any message from him. The man was a mystery she never intended to delve into. She was better off without him, or that was what she thought until she received another message from him."You do not want to miss this, Elle. Otherwise, you'll regret it forever." ~ NBrielle's brows contorted into a frown. All her shock turned into confusion. 'What does he mean? Why is he asking me to go to Hotel Rockcliffe?'She leaned back in her chair and ran her finger across her phone screen. Although she was skeptical of his intentions, she knew he meant her no harm. He had never hidden his true self from her. He was the one person who'd ne

2. Offer

“Long time, Elle.”‘Indeed, it’s been a long time,' Brielle thought, recalling the day Niklaus had confessed his feelings to her years back. Since then, she had avoided him at all costs, choosing to run away whenever he was nearby. After that day, it was the first time they were facing each other and talking calmly.“How are you, Elle?”Brielle shivered when she heard his gentle and concerning words. The underlying love in his tone was impossible to overlook. She raised her eyes and met his gaze, which was filled with so much emotion and passion it stunned her.‘He still loves me,’ she concluded. ‘But why? Even after I rejected him, why does he still love me?’She had assumed his feelings would wither over time. Perhaps, he’d even find love in someone else. However, the man remained fixed on her, and his feelings now seemed to have grown stronger. From his stance, Brielle sensed that Niklaus was just short of marching to her and pulling her into his embrace.“I'm good. How…”“Lies. Yo

3. Offer accepted

“It's a contract marriage. You can stipulate the duration,” Brielle clarified, remaining as calm as possible. But her body was stiff, and she felt an insurmountable pressure pressing in on her every time she met his ocean-deep orbs.She was scared, not of him this time. But the feelings she noticed. They were stronger than before, and she had an inkling that once she entered the contract marriage, it wouldn't be that easy to get out of it.“Are you sure you want to do this?” Niklaus asked after thinking for a while.“Yes." Brielle nodded, stifling a sarcastic smile. "I have no choice. My uncle's family is waiting like hyenas to rip me apart. I won't allow my parents' hard work to fall into their hands, and I'm not cut out for business. You're the only person who can help me right now.""Even when you're scared of me?" he asked, interrupting her.Brielle raised her head and met his interrogative gaze. He was looking for an answer she didn't know she had. "You scare me, I won't deny it

4. Marital house

Brielle had never expected she would marry the man she had avoided for years in a matter of moments. The procedure proceeded smoothly, and for a moment, she suspected that Niklaus had foreseen everything and planned ahead.But the thought vanished as quickly as it had come. 'How is it possible? He couldn't have possibly guessed how I'd react. What if I hadn't approached him?' she thought, holding the pen."What are you thinking about, Elle?" Niklaus asked when he noticed her lost in thought as she stared absent-mindedly at the form. "Please sign here."His voice brought her out of her reverie, and under his gentle encouragement, she signed the form.The staff then processed the registration, and within minutes, they had their marriage certificate in their hands."Congratulations, Miss Langford, Mr. Callahan. We wish you a happy married life," the staff said, beaming widely as if he were officiating his friends' wedding, instead of two strangers.Brielle stared at him oddly. But before

5. Filled with vendetta

"I'll pick you up after work, Elle," Niklaus said as he parked the car outside Brielle's office and turned to her, giving her all his attention.Although it wasn't the first time she was meeting his passionate gaze, it still unnerved her, and she didn't dare look at him in the eye."Alright, I'll wait for you."A satisfied smile landed on his lips, and he nodded. "Good. You're not even gone, and I already miss you."Brielle's heart jumped at his confession, and pink dusted her cheeks, making her look like a blooming plum blossom."How lovely!" Niklaus gushed, mesmerized by her, and moved closer to take a good look."Stop it, will you?" Brielle wasn't used to this side of him and moved back instinctively. "Why? What's wrong with admiring my wife?" he asked, drawing his brows together. "My wife is beautiful, and I'm so in love with her. Why can't I express my thoughts when she deserves to know how fucking enthralled I am by her?Brielle couldn't tolerate it anymore. The man's flirtatio

6. Secret unveiled - Part 1

"My wife, I missed you so much."Niklaus's voice echoed through the room, and Brielle blinked once, twice, thrice before her mind started working again. Her pupils immediately shot towards Lucy, who stared back at her with her eyes wide and her lower jaw slackened as she pointed her finger."You... you... you..." Lucy fumbled over her words, unable to say anything. Her mind was totally blank.Brielle smiled at her sheepishly and hopped out of her chair. Scolding herself for being careless, she moved away and turned off the speaker. "Hello," she said, glancing at her friend who hadn't snapped out of her shock yet."Hello," Niklaus mimicked her and whispered back. "Why are you whispering? Is somebody nearby?""Your call has put me in a fix," Brielle subconsciously complained, completely forgetting for a moment how scared she was of him."Why?" Niklaus's smile slipped, and he spun on his chair, turning to face the window behind him. His jaw ticked as he tried to sound as calm as possible

7.Secrets unveiled - Part 2

“Aren’t you the guy who kissed Bri?” Lucy asked excitedly. She even wiggled her brows playfully at Brielle, who stared at her in horror.“If you are talking about today, then I guess it’s me,” Niklaus acknowledged, recalling their brief kiss after they got married. ‘Well, it wasn’t even a kiss. I should have kissed her a few seconds more,’ he thought in regret.“I’m not talking about today. It’s when....” Brielle covered Lucy’s mouth before she wandered off revealing her secrets.“Klaus, I’ll talk to you later. I need to go. Bye.” She didn’t wait for the man to speak before she ended the call.Lucy smiled wickedly when she saw how mortified Brielle was. “So, I was right. It is that Niklaus we are talking about.” She raised her head questioningly before she folded her hands. “Spill the beans. How did this happen?”Brielle sighed heavily and glared at her friend, who only shrugged back nonchalantly.“What did you do? Why did you say that to him?” She argued, returning to her chair and

8. Plan in action

Brielle was irked by the interruption and stared at the perpetrator unimpressed. But the man in question smiled at her as if he hadn’t rudely barged into her office without her permission. ‘Why didn’t I notice how disrespectful and ill-mannered he was before?’ She wondered, glancing at Lucy, who looked as miffed as she was.“You are supposed to knock before you enter,” Brielle said, making sure to show her displeasure in her voice.Paul was taken aback for a moment, and he halted in his spot. “Bri, come on. There’s no need for such formalities between us.”“In private, there wasn’t a need before. But at work, I expect proper decorum. I hope you’ll follow the etiquette from now onward.”Lucy raised her thumb discreetly for calling the man mannerless on his face. ‘I’m so loving this. Come on! Show the bastard who’s the boss.’“Bri, did you just call me mannerless?” Paul asked, catching onto the meaning beneath her words.“Are you mannerless?” Brielle questioned back, and Lucy almost wh
