Chapter One

The silk of the Vera Wang gown felt like a second skin, cool and pristine. Isabella stared at herself in the full-length mirror of the bridal suite. Today was the day. After three years of being Puerto Moore’s shadow, she was finally becoming his wife."You look breathtaking, Bella," her mother whispered, adjusting the veil."I just can't believe it's happening," Isabella murmured, her fingers trembling as she touched the lace. "I was starting to think he’d never actually pull the trigger on the date.""He’s a Moore, darling. They take their time, but they always claim what’s theirs. Now, I need to check on the catering. Don't smudge your lipstick."Isabella took a deep breath, the scent of expensive lilies filling her lungs. She needed a moment. She needed to see Puerto. Just for a second. She knew it was bad luck, but the anxiety was clawing at her throat.She slipped out of the suite. The Moore mansion was buzzing with socialites and paparazzi, but the East Wing was quiet. Puerto u

"You look like you've seen a ghost, Miss Moore," the man said, his voice a deep, commanding baritone.He leaned forward slightly, stepping out of the heavy shadows of the backseat."Are you okay?"Isabella stood frozen in the damp chill of the afternoon. She knew that face. It was impossible not to. He was on the massive billboard overlooking the financial district, the ruthless owner of Vanguard Holdings, the largest conglomerate in Europe.Travis.Up close, he was devastatingly handsome and intensely intimidating. He had discarded his suit jacket, his crisp white shirt rolled up to the elbows, revealing dark, intricate tattoos wrapped around his forearms. A bad boy who had conquered the boardroom."I..." Isabella’s voice broke. A sob tore through her throat. "No. I'm not okay."Travis pushed the door open further. His dark eyes, usually so cold in the magazines, softened as they swept over her ruined wedding dress."Get in," he commanded, but there was a gentle edge to it. "Before y

LifetimeIsabella’s heart stopped. She stared at Travis, her mind racing. "Wife?" she echoed, the word feeling heavy and foreign in her mouth. "You’re joking. You have to be joking."Travis didn't laugh. He leaned back against the headboard, the light from the city hitting the sharp lines of his face. He looked at her with a calm, steady intensity."I don't joke about business, Isabella. And I certainly don't joke about marriage.""We just met," she whispered, pulling the silk sheet higher over her chest. "Well, we just... tonight happened. You can't be serious.""I’m very serious," he said, his voice dropping to that low, gravelly tone that made her skin tingle. "Look, I’ll be honest with you. I have a board of directors in Nashville who are obsessed with my 'image.' They think I’m too reckless, too much of a playboy for the top spot. They want stability. They want a wife by my side for the upcoming merger with the East Asian markets."Isabella shook her head, her brain struggling to

Isabella stood at the edge of the balcony, her fingers gripping the cold stone railing. She looked down at the crowd. Her heart was beating so fast. Travis had chosen it. He made the choice of everything from the diamonds at her throat, the silver heels, and the way her hair fell in loose, dark waves over her shoulders."You look like you're plotting a murder," a deep voice rumbled behind her.She didn't need to turn around to know it was him. Travis stepped up beside her, his presence instantly calming the storm in her chest. He looked devastating in a bespoke black tuxedo, his tattoos hidden beneath the sleeves, but the raw, dangerous energy he carried was impossible to mask."I feel like an imposter," Isabella whispered, her eyes tracking the movements of the guests below. "A week ago, I was being kicked out of my house in a ruined wedding dress. Now... I'm here.""You're not an imposter, Isabella," Travis said, his voice low and steady. He stepped closer, the heat radiating off hi
