Chapter 41

~ Camelia POV ~Becca’s mouth parted slightly. "Wow, Camelia," she muttered in awe, nudging my elbow. "Who is he?""I don't know," I answered softly, staring at the man in curiosity.The man stopped a couple of feet away from us and bowed his head slightly. "Good evening, Miss Stewart. Mr. Stone asked me to take you home since he had an urgent matter to handle and couldn't drive you himself."I blinked, my throat tightening. "Oh. Thank you, but—""Actually," Becca cut in before I could finish my sentence. She stepped right up beside me, giving the driver a bright smile. "We're not going home just yet. We're heading out for dinner at a restaurant downtown. We would really appreciate it if you could drop us off there instead."I turned my head sharply, staring at her in shock. "Becca, what about the cab you just ordered?" I whispered.She didn't even look at me. She just waved her hand. "Don't worry about it, Cam. I'll just open the app and cancel the ride right now."The driver nodded

Chapter 42

~ Luke POV ~ I walked down the hallway with the marriage certificate in my hand. After my conversation with my mother, I knew there was no point delaying it any longer. It was time to show my father the certificate and make my parents understand that I was never going to marry Gwen. "Mr. Stone," my father's personal assistant said, her voice dropping as she lowered her head slightly. She was standing beside his study door. "Your father is busy at the moment. He said he can't see anyone right now." I stopped right in front of her, my grip tightening on the paper in my hand. "Did he tell you to say that to me?" She blinked, shocked that I had asked her such a direct question. Then she gave a small nod. "Yes, sir." "Don't worry about it, Evelyn," I said, forcing my voice to stay calm instead of letting my anger and frustration show. "This is urgent." She hesitated for a split second before stepping aside. I grabbed the doorknob and pushed the door open. My father was sitting behind

Chapter 43

~ Camelia POV ~I brushed a loose strand of hair behind my ear as I stepped out of the car, turning to the driver who had come around to open the door for me."Thank you for the ride," I said softly. "Tell Mr. Stone I said thank you."He nodded before walking back to the vehicle. My gaze lingered on the driveway as I stared at the house, trying to brush off what Anya had said to me earlier.She didn't have a hold over my happiness. Becca had spent the entire car ride making sure I didn't forget that, right up until the driver dropped her off at the curb in front of Jerry's house. I let out a soft breath to calm my racing thoughts before walking toward the keypad. I punched in my passcode and stepped into the dark house.The living room was completely quiet, reminding me of how Becca usually kept the place lively with her constant gist. Now, I was left entirely alone with my thoughts.I dropped my bag on the table in front of me and sank into the couch, resting my head against the cush

Chapter 44

~ Camelia POV ~"We are almost there," I mumbled, shifting Luke’s arm more securely over my shoulder.The elevator doors chimed and slid open, revealing a wide foyer. The layout was almost identical to Asher’s apartment, but the design was different, darker, sleek, and filled with custom wood and stone. It made me wonder for a brief second which of the Stone brothers actually held more wealth."Thank you, Camelia," Luke breathed out, his head hanging low.I guided him across the floor and helped him lower his body onto the deep cushions of the couch. The moment his weight left me, I collapsed right onto the seat next to him, letting out a long breath of relief.Getting him from the car, through the garage, and up the private elevator had taken every bit of strength I had.Luke rested his head back against the plush armrest, his thick eyelashes casting dark shadows on his cheekbones as his eyes closed.Even with his hair messy and his collar unbuttoned, he looked incredibly handsome. I

Chapter 45

~ Camelia POV ~A soft gasp escaped my lips. My heart beat so loud and fast against my ribs I was sure the thumping vibrated right through his shirt. Luke wrapped his strong arms around my waist, trapping me flat against him. His eyes were still half-closed, but our faces were so close I could feel the warm, steady rush of his breath against my skin.“Luke... I need to leave,” I whispered, my palms pressing against his shoulders as I tried to push myself up. I forced my eyes to look at the headboard, warning myself not to glance at his lips or notice how solid his chest felt beneath me.He didn’t answer with words. When I finally looked down, his dark eyes were wide open, staring straight into mine. He released one hand from my waist, lifting it slowly to tuck a loose strand of my hair behind my ear.Before I could use the freedom to slide off the bed, his fingers tangled deep in the back of my hair. He tilted my head down, closing the remaining distance until his lips pressed firmly

Chapter 46

~ Cameila POV ~My heart was literally thumping in my chest and I didn't know for which reason, the fact that he was extremely close to me with his hand wrapped around my waist like he owns me or the fact that what he has said was with so much seriousness. "What?" I almost shouted and instead of him realizing how tense he had made me, he lifted his hand and tucked a loose strand of my hair behind my ear, making a shiver run through my entire body. "It's a fake wedding of course," he added like he didn't meant to. "If we can get the media to take that and published it, then they would have no choice but to accept it." I opened my mouth to say something but couldn't bring myself to do it, because of how close he was to me. I shifted a little and he noticed and release his hand from my waist."If it makes you uncomfortable, we can find another way," he said, stepping back."I don't think I can do this anymore," the words left my mouth before I could stop them.Luke froze. His gaze sna

Chapter 47

~ Asher POV ~I took a long drag from the cigarette in my hand, exhaling the smoke into the air. On any normal day, I would have relaxed and enjoyed the quiet moment, but all it did now was make the fire burning in my chest burn even hotter.I tapped the loose ash into the steel tray on the table, grinding the glowing tip against the metal until the spark died. I tossed the cigarette butt aside, but nothing I did could clear the anger from my mind.I had truly believed that whatever Luke and Camelia were doing was just a game. A fake engagement to get our parents off his back and stop them from forcing him to marry Gwen.But yesterday changed everything. I had been walking down the hall when I overheard their quiet conversation through the door. The words had been stuck in my head ever since, repeating on a loop.I stood from the couch and marched over to the floor-to-ceiling window, staring out at the gray New York skyline. My hands balled into tight fists, my knuckles turning white.

Chapter 48

~ Camelia POV ~I flipped through the file on my desk, confirming the figures matched the display on my monitor before I closed the folder and dropped it next to the rest of the stack.It had been a peaceful morning since I came to work. I felt relieved that I hadn't run into Asher or Luke in the corridors. I rested my back against the chair, staring at the screen one last time before I clicked off the page and grabbed the files from the desk.I made my way out of the office and headed toward Mira's desk to hand them over. After a light knock on the glass pane, I heard her low voice call out to me."Please come in," she said.I grabbed the metal handle and pushed open the door. Mira was typing something in haste as I walked into the office. She barely looked in my direction until I reached the front of her desk. Only then did she stop and look up."I'm done with the reviews, and here are the files," I told her, placing the folders on her desk."Okay," she said. Her gaze drifted back t
