Chapter 1

The second I hung up, I fired off my resignation letter and walked straight out of the corporate building.A second later, my phone buzzed. It was Julian.Curious to hear what kind of bullshit he’d spin next, I picked up.His low, disapproving voice came through the speaker immediately."I saw your resignation. You're acting entirely too impulsive, Alessia.""Do you have any idea what you just did? Your little interrogation terrified Caroline. She’s in tears, threatening to pack up and leave with Noah. You scared the kid half to death, too."Right on cue, I heard Caroline’s fragile, muffled sobs in the background, followed by Noah’s loud wailing."Bad lady! Why are you kicking me and Mommy out? This is my house! I don't want that bad lady here!""Alessia, please, just blame me," Caroline wept. "Don't fight with Julian over this..."Then came Julian’s voice, dropping into a sickeningly gentle tone meant only for them. "I'm right here. Nobody is making you leave."His tone shifted back t

I said coldly, "No need. I'm going home." But Julian grabbed my wrist with a strong grip, half-pulling, half-holding me as he dragged me inside."Play nice. Don't ruin the mood. I'll make it up to you later—my way." I sat in the corner of the private booth, expressionless.For the entire night, I watched them shamelessly flirt with each other.One minute, Caroline was playfully handing Julian her glass, making him take a sip of her martini.The next, Julian was naturally reaching out to fix her dress, his fingertips brushing against her thigh. I lost my patience. "If you have something to say, say it fast so I can leave," I said coldly.Julian slowly unbuttoned his collar. "What's the rush? We just opened a good bottle." Just as the red wine was poured, Caroline suddenly touched her forehead and leaned weakly against him.Julian instinctively wrapped his arm around her waist.He turned to me, his tone leaving no room for argument:"Caroline is dizzy. I'm going to take her home to r

My first night back at the Castello estate, my phone buzzed endlessly."Alessia, why aren't you replying? Are you still at the club?""I called them. You left? How did you manage that?""Where are you? Why are you ignoring me? Are you just playing disappearing games to make me worry?"I ignored all of it. By day two, his tone turned anxious: "You made your point. I didn't sleep all night.""Where are you? Stop making me worry."I only felt disgusted. By day three, he sent a single text: "If you have any dignity left, don't ever show your face again." I flipped my phone face down on the vanity and met my own gaze in the mirror, carefully drawing a razor-sharp wing with my eyeliner. The signing ceremony was held in the penthouse banquet hall of Obsidian Group.By the time I arrived, the red carpet was already packed with elites.Julian, wearing a bespoke navy suit, stood in the center of the hall, laughing with some old Wall Street contacts.Caroline clung to his arm in a burgundy go

Caroline reacted instantly, shrieking, "It has to be a fake!"She placed a hand on Julian's chest, looking at him with deep concern. "Julian, you can't let her trick you. You know how dangerous the Castello family is. If they find out someone is using a fake crest here, you'll be dragged down with her."She turned to me, her voice dripping with fake pity."Alessia, drop the act. You're going to get yourself killed playing these games." Julian looked at me, his eyes shifting from conflicted to absolute resolve.He glanced around at the industry elites waiting for a show, cleared his throat, and raised his voice, loud and cold."Ladies and gentlemen, my apologies for the disturbance."He looked down at me bleeding on the floor, staring at me like I was nothing but a stranger."I have absolutely no relationship with this woman. She is merely an assistant I fired half a month ago for gross incompetence. She's been stalking me ever since." I stared at him.Five years.The man who slept be

Julian reacted fast. He instantly plastered on a perfect, respectful smile and hurried forward, effectively blocking my battered body from view."Mr. Castello! It’s finally an honor to meet you in person..."He extended his hand."We had a minor hiccup tonight—a deranged former employee crashed the party. I'm already having her dealt with. It won't affect—" "Dad."I had finally gathered enough strength to speak, my voice coming out hoarse and broken. Victor's gaze bypassed Julian entirely and landed straight on me, my face covered in blood.His pupils contracted violently. He charged forward.He kicked the bodyguard closest to me squarely in the chest.The 200-pound enforcer flew backward like a ragdoll, crashing into a catering table. Glass shattered everywhere. "Who gave you the right..." Victor roared, his voice shaking the very foundation of the room. "...to touch my daughter?!" The champagne glass in Julian's hand slipped.Crash. It shattered on the floor. Dead silence fell o

Julian still hadn't fully recovered from the shock Alessia had given him.But Castello enforcers had already tossed their luggage out of the mansion. Caroline huddled in Julian's arms, her pale face streaked with tears."Julian, the house is gone... Where are we going to live?"Noah was terrified by the chaos, clinging to Julian's leg and crying non-stop. "I don't want to sleep outside! I want to go home!" Julian forced down the panic and dread churning in his gut. "Don't worry. So what if the house is gone? I'll just buy another one."Caroline paused, looking up at him with teary eyes. "But what if Alessia...?"She shivered, remembering the brutal violence at the banquet. Julian went silent for a moment. Remembering Alessia's heartless dismissal, a flash of humiliated rage crossed his eyes. "So what if the Castello family backed out? My company, Obsidian, isn't something anyone can just crush!" The very next day, Julian bought a top-floor penthouse worth over $10 million outright.

Whispers instantly broke out across the restaurant, rushing toward Julian like a tidal wave."Julian? Isn't that the CEO of Obsidian?""Didn't he just drop ten million on a penthouse? How is his card declining? Is he actually trying to dine and dash?" Julian's face flushed deep red, then turned sickly pale.He felt every gaze in the room stabbing into him like needles. There was nowhere to hide.He abruptly stood up, glaring daggers at the manager, his voice shaking with rage: "You're in on this with Alessia, aren't you?! You're helping her set me up!"He forced a cold sneer, desperately trying to salvage his pride. "Do you realize she's been disowned by the Castello family?!" The manager’s face remained entirely blank. "Sir, please pay the bill. Otherwise, we have no choice but to involve the police." The murmurs grew louder, now dripping with blatant mockery.Julian's expression turned incredibly ugly. Not wanting to lose any more face here, he pulled out a sleek credit card and s

By the time the soaking wet trio made it back to the penthouse, it was late into the night. The second they walked in, Caroline violently hurled her designer bag onto the sofa, her face livid. "What the hell was that today?! Why did every single card decline?!"The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, her voice turning shrill. "And at the restaurant... with everyone watching... I've never been so humiliated in my entire life!" Noah started crying again. "I'm hungry! I wanted steak! I want my fancy dinner!" Julian sat heavily on the sofa, aggressively massaging his throbbing temples, practically on the edge of a total breakdown. "Shut up! Both of you!" Julian roared. "Just let me figure out what the hell is going on!" Caroline let out a bitter laugh, showing no mercy. "Think about what? Your accounts are frozen, and you got fired from your own company! I thought you were the Wolf of Wall Street?! How did you end up like this?!" Julian’s face darkened. He was just about t

Chapter 9

The second the words left my mouth, the press conference exploded into absolute chaos.Watching through the screen, Julian was completely paralyzed, staring blankly at the woman he thought he knew, who was now a total stranger. At the venue, the camera flashes were blinding, practically turning the room to daylight.I sat on the stage, facing the tidal wave of questions, my tone icy and unshaken. "Over the past five years, Obsidian Group's startup capital, R&D funding, and market expansion budget came entirely from my personal investments." A collective gasp echoed through the room. Whispers spread like wildfire. I looked up, my sharp gaze piercing straight through the camera lens, as if I were staring right at Julian on the other side of the screen. "Yet, for the past five years, Mr. Julian exploited my capital while fabricating a 'single' persona to manipulate me. All the while, behind my back, he was bankrolling an outrageously lavish lifestyle for his secret wife." More gasps
