A Dysfunctional Family
Zoey's POV
"So Tia, how long have you two been together?" Natasha breaks the eerie silence surrounding the three of us.
Everyone at the table went back to talking and laughing, making it seem as if they didn't witness the... whatever that was a minute ago. Maybe they are used to it or something.
How on earth does she even know my name? And what did she mean by she expected a lot more?
I can only think of one name: Xavier. Of course, she's a family friend so she must've heard about the engagement, but he said they were sleeping together.
Did his parents know about it? You know what? Not my problem. Once this is over, it won't ever be.

Zoey's POV "What the hell Kat?!" I clench my hand over my chest, crumpling the dress in the process. "You nearly gave me a heart attack!" What the hell is wrong with people trying to kill me tonight?! "Sorry, but you knew I'd be up waiting." I roll my eyes at the absurd statement. She is right, I knew but what I didn't know was that she would scare me like this. "So how was it? Was it dirty?" "You're unbelievable, you know that right?" I say as I get up off the floor. Sighing, I walk over to sit beside her. "What happened?" she asks, climbing over to me, concern evident in her v
Being CEO's Fake Fiancée The Contract
Zoey's POV "So, where do you want to start Ms. Saunders?" The man asks, reclining back into his chair. He's way too calm and in control. I wonder if it is his first time doing something like this— getting married to a stranger just to save his share of the companies. Mhm. He really wants to secure his legacy. "Um, elaborate more on the whole fiancée thing." I am unsure of what to say and where to start. This is not official, certain or anything. I'm just merely testing the waters, I repeat to myself. "Well, first of all, there's a written contract—" "A contract?"
Being CEO's Fake Fiancée Twenty One Questions
Xavier's POV I maneuver the car off the busy street and into the small parking lot of my favorite fast food joint. Finding an empty spot, I hop out at the same time as Zoey. Originally I had a lunch reservation at a top-end restaurant but canceled at the last minute since I have a craving for a real cheeseburger and shake, not foreign chicken. I also wanted to check on the place, it had been a while since I've been. My eyes dart around the surroundings as we both walk in silence up to the entrance. The outside looks better— way better— than the last time I was here. I'm glad they're putting the money to good use. The bell rings as we enter the now air conditioned building.
Being CEO's Fake Fiancée Paris and Phonecalls
Zoey's POV I step into the apartment, closing the door behind me after Mr. Danvers dropped me off a minute or two ago. I shake my head remembering the conversation at that diner. At least I got to know two major details about him. He has no favorite colour and he's a fucking asshole. I can't believe he suggested... He's so impossible! I set down the folder on the couch before going into the kitchen with the lunch I got from the diner. I really don't feel like going into my room, at least not now.
Being CEO's Fake Fiancée Saying Goodbyes
Zoey's POV I stare over at the contract on the table as if I expect it to pounce on me at any moment. Maybe it will and I would deserve the scratches I get.I can't believe that I recklessly signed the paper. How can I be so stupid and impulsive? I've been sitting here for almost half an hour now. I gingerly sip my second cup of coffee as I try to conjure up ways to get my signature off the immaculate paper. I thought of everything from white-out to markers to disfiguring it but came up with nothing. Everything I came up with is between childish and downright stupid. I can't believe I'm agreeing to this. I must be outta my mind. I'm just elated that Kat's still asleep. She had the day off. Today's Sunday meaning that tomorrow she will be leaving. I don't thin
Being CEO's Fake Fiancée An Unexpected Visitor
Xavier's POV "Thank you for taking me in on such short notice. See you on Wednesday Kay." I stop pacing the office as soon as I hang up the call. I was on the phone with a stylist slash makeup artist, and dear friend of mine, Kaylee Smith. Everything is now sorted out. I have to take Zoey to pick out an engagement ring on Monday and clothes shopping on Wednesday. I dial Zoey quickly after to tell her about her friend's good fortune, which she doesn't take so well. Of course I was the one who arranged for Ms. Davis to be sent to Paris because she is talented and needed to, well, spread that talent, but, mostly, to get her out of the picture. It was hazardous to keep her around. When all this blows up, which it won't, I need to be the one who controls the pres
Being CEO's Fake Fiancée Engagement Ring
Zoey's POV I set down the big duffel bag on the bed. As I empty the drawers, I toss the contents into the bag. Hurrying to the bathroom, I cleared the cabinets and dump all the toiletries into another section of the bag. Finally I place the clothes I bought yesterday inside a shopping bag and tied it before stacking it on top of the other clothes. There, all set. I zip the duffel bag and placed the contract next to it before walking out and into the kitchen. The place feels oddly quiet. I guess it has to do something with Kat not being here anymore. She left for her flight a bit earlier in the morning. I did follow her to the airport where things got emotional. We both cried our eyes out.

Zoey's POV "... and this is your room Ms. Saunders," Xavier's housekeeper, Mrs.Andersonsays in a kind tone as pushes the door open to a huge bedroom. "If there's anything you want—" "No, I'm good." I cut her off with a polite smile. "And please call me Zoey." "Okay Ms. Zoey. I'll be downstairs. If you need anything, just call or shout. I'll hear you." The woman nods once before she turns and walks off. I enter the room and close the door behind me.This is easily twice the size of our entire apartment flat. Sun rays from the open balcony shine through the glass chandelier, creating a weird shape on the room's luxurious vanity dresser. My eyes wander over to the q
