Olivia. I couldn't stop smiling. I'd been gone for a month, and in less than five minutes, I'd finally see Nate. The bottle of wine I'd bought in Paris felt heavier in my hand as I stood outside his apartment. Spending four weeks at one of the biggest fashion events in the world had been a dream come true. Seeing some of the industry's biggest names in person and learning from designers I'd admired for years was unreal. The experience had the potential to change my career. Yet standing outside Nate's apartment, all I could think about was finally seeing him. He'd been begging me all week to Come home and I could already picture the look on his face when he saw me standing at the door. My flight wasn't supposed to land until tomorrow. This was the perfect surprise—a perfect one. I unlocked the door with the spare key he'd given me last year. The same key he’d handed me after slipping a promise ring onto my fingers. And that was the exact night he’d begged me to move in with h

Olivia. The next morning I woke up with a pounding headache. For a moment I forgot everything. I looked around and realized I was in Maya's guest room. Then all the memories of yesterday started coming back. Nate’s cheating, Lisa’s betrayal and my turning a blind eye to it all. I stood frozen in the doorway while my entire world crumbled before my eyes. I squeezed my eyes shut, hoping it had all been a nightmare. But it wasn’t. With a heavy sigh, I pushed the blanket outside and climbed out of bed. The cold wooden floor sent a shiver down my body as I walked towards the mirror. I barely recognize the woman staring back at me. My eyes were swollen and red from crying myself to sleep. My hair was a tangled mess and my skin looked pale. I looked exhausted. For five years, I imagined waking up next to Nate someday as his wife, instead, I was standing in my best friend’s guestroom, trying to convince myself that my world hadn’t completely fallen apart. I stared at my reflection

Olivia I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Nate and Lisa. Then Damian's face would replace theirs. By morning, I still wasn't sure if I'd made the smartest decision of my life…..or the biggest mistake. At exactly nine o'clock, Damian’s driver dropped me off outside Kingsley & Associates, the law firm that handled all of the Kingsley family’s legal affairs. The receptionist led me into a spacious conference room overlooking the city. A few minutes later, a middle-aged man in a navy suit walked in carrying a thick folder. He offered me a polite smile before taking the seat across from me. “Good morning, Miss Olivia, my name is Hayes, Mr Kingsley’s attorney. He placed the folder on the table and slid it towards me. “I'd like you to read the marriage agreement carefully before signing anything”. I looked down at the document.It was thicker than I expected. “Is all of this….really necessary?”. I askedMr Hayes smiled professionally. “When the groom is Damian Kin

Olivia. The drive back to Damian's mansion was painfully quiet. Damian hasn't said a word since we left the courthouse. I stole a few glances at him hoping he'd say something….Anything. But his attention remained fixed on the view outside the window. Before long, the car slowed as the massive iron gates automatically opened. The Rolls-Royce glided through the long driveway before coming to a stop in front of the grand entrance. “We’re here sir”. The driver announced. For a moment Damian remained quiet, before finally turning to look at me. “Go inside. Everything has been prepared for you”. I frowned. “You're leaving?”“I have some business to attend to, I won't be back tonight”For some reason, those words stung more than they should have. “If you need anything, Samantha will assist you”“Who's Samantha?”. I asked “The housekeeper, she's aware you'd be arriving today”“Oh”The silence returned. “Do you have any questions?”. He asked Of course I did. I wanted to ask a hun

Olivia. By four in the afternoon, my room had turned into absolute chaos. Stylists, makeup artists, and hairdressers moved around me, each focused on making sure every tiny detail was perfect. Designer gowns covered almost every corner of the room. After trying on what felt like countless dresses, I finally settled on a breathtaking black evening gown. The open-back design hugged every curve of my body perfectly, making me look elegant without trying too hard. My hair fell in soft waves over one shoulder, my makeup was flawless, and my skin glowed under the light. At exactly seven o'clock, I was fully ready, i took one deep breath before stepping out of the room. Each step down the grand staircase echoed through the silent mansion. At the bottom of the stairs stood Damian, dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit, he looked every bit like the billionaire everyone admired, maybe even more handsome. The moment his eyes found mine, he stopped moving. His gaze slowly settled o
