All Chapters of His Perfect Mistake : Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

"I can't marry her." Ethan Anderson's voice sliced through the room."That won't happen."The dining room fell silent.His father, Richard Anderson slowly lowered the glass in his hand. "Ethan!" "No, dad." Ethan shook his head once. "Whatever this is, stop it now."Bianca looked from one face to another. The smiles that had filled the room only seconds ago were gone.Bianca's father, Charles Ellington cleared his throat. "Ethan, at least let us explain.""I don't think you need to." Ethan fired back disrespectfully. Richard stood. "You've just returned from Boston. Sit down.""I'm standing," His jaw tightened."You told me to come because there was an important business decision to discuss. You never mentioned marriage."Marriage? Bianca stared at her father. "Dad..."Charles looked at her, then away. "We think this is the right choice Bianca." Her smile faded. Elena reached for her daughter's hand. "Bianca.""No." Bianca gently pulled away. "Someone should tell me what's going on."

Bianca looked around the conference room one last time. The presentation screen was ready.Every report had been printed and every file sat neatly in front of each chair.She checked her watch.Eight fifty-eight. Two minutes early.Just the way she liked it.The door opened. A group of executives walked in, talking among themselves.Bianca greeted each of them with a smile. "Good morning.""Morning, Miss Ellington."One of the older directors smiled. "Nervous?""A little."He chuckled. "That's a good sign."The last person to enter was Charles Ellington.He looked around the room before his eyes landed on his daughter.She wasn't standing beside him.She wasn't hiding behind anyone.She was already answering questions from one of the department heads.He smiled quietly.Maybe she'd be just fine....The meeting began.Half an hour later, the discussion shifted to a delayed commercial project.The room grew quiet. One manager rubbed his forehead."We've gone over the numbers three time

Bianca didn't look up from her laptop.The numbers on the screen blurred together.She started again. A soft knock came against her office door."Miss Ellington?"She looked up.Her assistant stood outside. "Your coffee.""Thank you."The young woman set the cup down carefully. "I heard the directors approved your proposal."Bianca smiled. "They did.""Congratulations.""Thanks."The assistant hesitated. "You've been here since seven. You should go home.""I will."The assistant nodded and quietly left.The smile disappeared the moment the door closed.Bianca leaned back in her chair.Her mind drifted to the marina.I need your help.I wasn't lying when I said I had nowhere else to go.She shook her head."No."She reached for another file....By the time she left the office, the sky had turned orange.She glanced at the clock.Six o'clock. She had time.A smile crept onto her face.Maybe she should surprise him instead....Twenty minutes later, Bianca parked outside Daniel's apartm

Bianca's phone lit up for the seventeenth time that morning.It was Daniel, she watched it vibrate across her desk until the screen went dark again.A second later, another message appeared."Where are you?" Then another. "Did I do something wrong?" Bianca stared at the words without moving. Her thumb hovered over the screen before she locked the phone and slid it into her handbag.Someone knocked gently on her office door. "Miss Ellington?" her assistant said. "Your ten o'clock meeting is ready."Bianca looked up and offered a small smile. "I'll be there in a minute."The assistant nodded and left. Only after the door closed did Bianca let out the breath she'd been holding.Last night had changed everything. Daniel's lies, Ethan's proposal, and the contract lying inside her handbag.Nothing felt real anymore. Her phone buzzed again.She picked it up this time. Instead of answering, she typed a short message.Let's meet in an hour at Riverside Restaurant and she sent the message. Al
