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

“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

“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
