Linsey is abandoned at the altar and impulsively marries a stranger to save face. Everyone mocks her until her newly wedded man is revealed as the world’s richest man. When he publicly declares his love, Linsey’s “mistake” turns into a fairytale. But how did a random wedding become something so real?
A mischievous smile played on Linsey’s lips. “Who told you Felix was the one I married? I ended up with someone else entirely.” Shock flashed across Dolores’s face, rendering her momentarily speechless. Linsey, noticing her friend’s astonishment, continued in a serene, composed voice, “I was indeed supposed to marry Felix. But right before our ceremony,…
Linsey offered a wry, helpless smile. She understood Dolores’ fears; her friend’s fierce protectiveness was as familiar as it was comforting. They had been each other’s rock since childhood, making Dolores’ concern understandable. Dolores was getting it all wrong about Collin, and she needed to fix that. To reassure her, Linsey came up with an…
“In the bathroom,” he responded without looking up from his work. Linsey fetched the hairdryer and skillfully finished the job. Only when his hair was completely dry did she stow the hairdryer away. Her gaze lingered on his focused face as he carried on with his late-night tasks. “You always stay up working. Do you…
Little did she know, her instincts weren’t far off-Collin and Dustin were indeed talking about her. Almost reflexively, her eyes flicked towards Cynthia. Linsey caught her seemingly disengaged from her work, huddled with a few colleagues. They were chatting with enthusiasm, sneaking glances at her every so often. Linsey’s brows knitted together in irritation. It…
“Oh my, she’s absolutely breathtaking!” “I never imagined anyone could bring such life to this gown.” “Ma’am, your elegance is simply unparalleled.” The purple strapless gown clung to Linsey, its luxurious fabric caressing her smooth skin, making her glow under the soft lighting. Her arms, graceful and poised, delicately lifted the hem of her dress…
Instinct took over as she reached out, fingers closing around the object before she even registered what it was. How could she not be grateful? He had been more than she ever dared to hope for. Linsey blinked down at the handkerchief in her grasp, momentarily dazed. “Don’t get too ahead of yourself,” Collin said,…
Before Linsey could reply, a sneering voice echoed from the front. “Collin, why are you so late?” Huntley strode confidently up to Collin, fixing him with a mocking stare. “Oh, right. I almost forgot. You can’t move around easily, so of course you’d be late. My mistake for overthinking-I almost thought you were too embarrassed…
A few cruel words aimed at Linsey had been enough to trigger Collin’s fury. The sheer intensity of his reaction was infuriating. Though frustration burned within him, Huntley forced himself to keep apologizing, his voice laced with unsteady fear. Collin held his gaze for a lingering moment before suddenly letting go. Another pained cry escaped…
She knew her son well. Huntley had been coddled from the moment he could walk, turning even the smallest discomfort into an earth-shattering ordeal. She figured this was no different, just another dramatic outburst. But the moment they reached the hospital, and the doctor’s expression darkened mid-examination, Fernanda’s confidence wavered.
