My Betrothal Partner And The Secrets We Share นิยาย & เรื่องราว

“You're right. Today, we will forget our problems and focus on ourselves.” I nod and smile. She turns to me with a mischievous grin. “So, how's your sweetheart?” My smile falters momentarily, but I quickly put it back in place. Still, she notices. "Is something wrong?" Perhaps I can trust her? The weight of not sharing with anyone is eating at me. Keeping the secret of being the only person who knows is weighing heavily. "He's not my fiancé," I begin slowly. Her forehead wrinkles, so I continue to explain. "It's a contract marriage."

At the movies, we sat three rows apart. And yet I was happy to do it. I was the one who'd fallen for him first. The day he finally agreed to be with me, he told me with bloodshot eyes that he needed five years. He promised that on our fifth anniversary, he'd go public and give me the wedding of my dreams. That was supposed to be this year. That was supposed to be today. But here he was, holding someone else in front of everyone. "Come on, Jocelyn, don't leave us hanging. Who is the guy?"

“I love you, Lila. That hasn’t changed. But I need him too. Watching you two together tonight… it was the hottest thing I’ve ever seen. If you’ll have both of us, I’m all in. No more lying.” I looked at them — my stepbrother and my fiancé — and something inside me settled. The taboo of it all still made my stomach flip, but in the best way. “Okay,” I whispered. “But it’s all of us. Equal. And we keep it secret from everyone else.” Dan’s smirk was pure sin. “That’s our good girl.”

I was struck by a new suspicion that was far more terrifying for the future of our contract marriage. I clutched the hem of Rex’s shirt tightly and tried to lift his chin, my fingers trembling violently as I held back tears ready to spill down my cheeks. "Rex, why are you suddenly so quiet in front of me? Look me in the eyes right now! Say something!" Rex averted his gaze toward the pristine white hallway floor and exhaled a heavy, resigned sigh. "No, Emma. It's not what you think." My eyes widened in shock, and my chest heaved rapidly as I realized there was a hidden, invisible thread connecting them all. "Don't tell me...you've also been involved in this crazy charade with them from the be

Just like how I was with Apollo, the gorgeous man lying next to me, wearing sunglasses. It was obvious that over the past months, the two of us had our disagreements, our silly arguments, but we always knew how to fix things and come back to each other. He had this talented habit of making me give in, and that had become my favorite habit. With each passing day, I felt more fulfilled. No one knew about us yet, and he was the secret I forced myself to keep. We had places only the two of us knew where to hide from the chaos out there. And when it was just me and him, that was my whole world. "I know I'm totally and completely irresistible, Mia. But do you want to tell me what you're thinking?"

I can’t wait to celebrate at your wedding! The mafia world was always shrouded in secrecy. The Vittorio family would never disclose accurate information to outsiders. She wasn’t part of the inner circle. How did she know about my supposed wedding? Startled, I tapped into Leonardo’s Facebook profile. His profile picture and cover photo had all been changed to pictures of me. Even his bio had been updated. [My one and only love, Madeline.] I was utterly speechless. In the previous lifetime, no matter how much I begged, he had never once shown even the slightest affection for me in public. Yet now, after losing me, he suddenly wanted to repent?

If he was willing to admit he was wrong—and promise not to pull that again… Sensing her shift, Marcus leaned in. “When the baby’s born, I’m transferring my trust shares to him. I already told my lawyer to draft it. It’ll take effect the day he’s born.” She knew what that meant. He wasn’t just chasing control for himself. Signing the shares over to their kid meant the three of them were tied together. He was showing her this wasn’t just about him grabbing power. He’d made his choice. Between the wedding and the test, he chose the wedding.

It was like seeing the first cracks in an ancient wall - this idea that strength and vulnerability could coexist. Keeping our engagement secret these past days has been both torture and delight. We steal private moments whenever possible - hidden kisses in the library, secret smiles across council meetings, his hand finding mine under tables. Last night, he pulled me into an alcove just to hold me, breathing in my scent like it centers him. "Soon," he'd murmured against my hair. "Soon everyone will know you're mine. And I’ll claim you in every way possible." The thrill of our shared secret makes every interaction feel charged with meaning. When our hands brush passing documents in meetings,

Amelia, on the other hand, grew anxious each passing minute as the silence began to eat her up. “Father!” She whined when the silence finally got her annoyed. "You're getting married." Her father announced and then shut his eyes, a look of guilt etched on his face. “What?” “You have been betrothed.” Immediately he dropped the bombshell again, the room went silent. Amelia looked back and forth between her father and mother. Everywhere suddenly starts to spin from her view as she stared at her father like he just spat nonsense. It’d have actually been nonsense to her if he didn’t look serious the next minute he opened his eyes.
