Raphael and Jenna have been dating for two years and recently, they've been seeing less of each other due to work (at least that's his excuse) only for them to meet up again and Jenna is presented with a wedding invite. With a shattered and anger-filled heart, Jenna puts on her best dress and goes manhunting in a popular club. "That's right! I'm gonna bag a real man tonight!' She had a bet with her stepsister to have a one-night stand with a stranger but she got played for the second time in one day. Her world finally crumbles to the lowest of the low when she attends her ex's wedding and finds out her stepsister is the bride. Why say no to my parents' pick? I have nothing to lose. My life is no longer mine. Of course, it's no longer your life, when you realize you have an arranged marriage with the billionaire CEO from your one-night stand.

The door opened, and I stepped out, clad in designer sunglasses and a flowing silk scarf. There was nothing I loved more than arriving in style.With an air of effortless grace, I descended the steps, my heels clicking against the metal.Behind me, two impeccably dressed men emerged, each carrying a stack of luxurious suitcases adorned with gleaming gold accents. They followed me with practised precision, their movements synchronized as they navigated the runway.But while I was feeling myself, alas, all good things came to an end the moment my eyes landed on him."Xander." I forced out of my lips, hoping he could see me frowning behind my dark sunglasses.Xander stood there, leaning casually against a sleek black car, his demeanour exuding an air of nonchalance that grated against my carefully cultivated poise. His eyes, hidden behind designer shades of his own, bore into min
WRITER'S POVTWELVE YEARS AGOThe bar is filled with laughter and the clinking of glasses as Keith celebrates his successful business deal with his friends. They pat him on the back, praising his acumen and charm."Cheers to many more deals like this!" Keith shouted, raising his glass to his friends."Cheers!" they respond, lifting theirs as well before each of them take a drink out of their glasses at once.The night wore on, and eventually, Keith bid his friends farewell and stepped out into the cool night air. He hailed a taxi and climbed in, his mind still buzzing with excitement from the evening."I can't wait to share this good news with you," he muttered to himself as he touched his wedding ring on his finger.As the taxi pulled up to his home, Keith's heart seized at the sharp sound of a gunshot echoing through the quiet street. Without a second thought, he threw some bills at the driver and rushed out, fear gripping his chest.Keith burst through the front door, his pulse po
JENNA POVIt's too early. Way too early for this. I quickened my walking speed and blocked Sarah's way."I see you haven't learned from your lesson the last time," I told her, one hand placed on my waist as I prevented her from entering Keith's office."What do you mean?" she asked me and I scanned her from head to toe with my eyes before looking at her face directly, "those are not proper work clothes, Sarah.""What's wrong with what I'm wearing? Is your husband not faithful enough to you?" Sarah raised an eyebrow at me.I stepped forward, intimidating her with my physical appearance. Keith may be taller, but that didn't make me a shorty."Just what do you think you are doing?" I asked sharply."I have some documents I have to deliver to Mr. Keith," Sarah answered casually, not bothering to look directly at me."You seem to have forgotten who I am in this company. I'm the only one who is allowed to go in, let alone anywhere near him." I smirked, "and from when last you tried, I doubt
I adjusted my clothes and breathed out, readying myself for whatever might happen. Since the day he chased Raphael away, Keith has been so busy that he didn't even talk to me at home, talk less about work.I reached out my hand and knocked on the door, "come in." he said, from within.I pushed the door open and closed it behind me once I was inside, "you called for me, sir?""Sit down," Keith replied.I made my way to the seat opposite him and sat there, waiting for him to say whatever it was he called me there for."You conducted an interview today," Keith stated. I was about to answer but then he continued, "You also did so for just your stepsister who I fired. Why is that?""Well, as you said, she is my stepsister," I replied, crossing my arms together."I didn't call you in here to lie to me or give me half the truth," Keith said, rearranging some documents scattered on his desk."I'm not lying." I insisted."So it's half-truth," Keith said, not bothering to look at me.I sighed a
"I should've known you'd be lurking around here somewhere," Raphael said, facing Keith with the word irritation written all over his face.Keith crossed his arms, "You know I don't want you anywhere near this place, Raphael. Yet here you are, causing a scene."Raphael scoffed. "Oh, spare me the lecture, Dad. I'm not here to play by your rules.""Get off my grounds," Keith stated, his eyes fixed on Raphael like a death glare."And what if I don't? What are you going to do about it? Kick me out again? Call the cops? Go ahead, try it. But just remember, I won't go down without a fight." Raphael said to Keith then turned to me, "She is my woman. I told you that but neither of you have brought up divorce to the other.""Last warning, Raphael," Keith growled and I could see the hesitancy in Raphael's eyes as he looked at Keith and then me."You belong to me. It's just a matter of time," he said then turned around and left.I didn't know I was holding my breath until I let it out once Raphae
JENNA POVThis was just hilarious. How did she not think that I'd follow her? And now I enter just in time to hear her plotting?As if she hadn't ruined my life enough while I lived with her. I trusted her and my parents but they all turned against me. She married my boyfriend of two years. My dad and stepmom knew about my relationship with Raphael and yet they kept quiet and let everything happen as they did.Tell me, how could I not find joy in the embarrassment of my enemies? I will never forgive you Sarah and I don't plan on forgetting any of those things any time soon."What exactly do you plan on doing, Sarah?" I asked her, making my way into the washroom. "Take over the company? Fuck the head of the company? Kill me? Or was it Keith you were trying to kill?" I gestured mockingly at her before bursting into laughter."You think this is funny?" she asked me."Yes. Yes, I do. Because, you can't even handle a taste of your own medicine, Sarah." I replied, "Just a rejection from my
Nothing made me happier than the way I ended last night's phone call with Raphael. It was so satisfying that I couldn't help holding in a laugh each time I remembered it."Thank you Miss." the receptionist said to me as I handed her a file."You're welcome," I replied, smiling back at her before leaving for my office beside Keith's.'If only Sarah knew what transpired last night.' I thought.Well, speak of the devil and she shall appear. What do we have here?Just as Keith's office came into view, I spotted Sarah at the corner, nervously adjusting her outfit. She had pushed her boobs up to be more visible and pulled her skirt a little higher above the knees."I don't believe it," I said in disbelief, "is she doing all that because..." I laughed as I recalled the words I said to her. Just the other day, I had said to Sarah that if she thinks I had to seduce my husband to get my current position as PA, she could try the same shit.This is gonna be fun.SARAH POVToday is the day I'll l
SARAH POV "What the heck, Raphael! What was that stunt you pulled at the company today?" I shouted, my anger mostly came from my confrontation with Jenna in the washroom earlier today.How dare she imply that Raphael doesn't care about me?"You. You knew didn't you?" Raphael questioned me."Knew what? Did you ever tell me anything, Raphael? How much do I know about you?" I shouted back."But yet you married me when I proposed!" Raphael's sudden outburst sealed my mouth shut, "I was only a tool for you to get revenge against Jenna but what did I ever do to you to deserve this?!" "What the fuck are you even talking about?" I asked, feeling my heart going up my throat."Your ex-fiancé turned out to be my father! Jenna freaking got married to my father, Sarah! Do you hear me?!" Raphael shouted and my jaw dropped in shock."What?! How was I supposed to know that?! You never told me he was your dad." I said, my voice coming out as fragile."You never told me he was your fiancé." Raphael r
How did Raphael know Keith? I get that he was able to get Sarah a spot in the company with ease but I never expected him to be so familiar with Keith that he would barge in like that looking so angry despite the kind of reputation Keith was rumoured to have.I washed my hands and then looked in the mirror as I stood in the ladies' washroom. Something is going on. Something big that I have yet to find out.Keith and Raphael? Those two seem to be the least likely people to know each other personally.I heard a clicking sound after the door to the washroom opened and closed.When I turned towards the door, I groaned when I saw Sarah's face once again and I turned my gaze back to the mirror in front of me. I'm sure she was here to get under my skin just like she tried before.Or maybe to get answers on how I suddenly became a PA. It's not my fault I got the pestering husband "What's with the change of positions, Jenna? Just yesterday, you were a janitor." Sarah said, arms crossed as she
