Chapter 29: The Morning Demand and the Reluctant Wire
Down on the eighth floor of the Diamond Luxe Hotel, Sian swiped her keycard and quietly opened the door to the bridal suite.All the lights were on.Burl was sitting on the edge of the armchair. His hair was messy, his eyes were red, and his tuxedo jacket was lying on the floor. As soon as he heard the door, he stood up and walked straight toward her."Where have you been?!" he demanded. His voice was rough from staying up all night. "It's past five in the morning, Sian! Where the hell did you go?"Sian barely reacted. She dropped her handbag on the console, took off her heels, and looked at him."Are you deaf, Burl? I've told you three times already. I was at Lily's place. We were getting my skin ready for the wedding and trying out some hair accessories. Do you think looking like a bride is that easy?"Burl looked her over carefully. He couldn't smell anything unusual on her, and although her makeup was a little worn, she didn't look like she'd been anywhere suspicious.He finally r
Chapter 28: The Early Morning Send-off and the Delusional Bride
The video had already been uploaded to the ballroom's main system, waiting for the countdown to begin.Calder turned off his phone, walked back into the bedroom, and tossed it onto the bedside table. On the large bed, Sian moved under the sheets. Her dark mascara was slightly smudged around her eyes.After spending the night with Calder twice, she was completely worn out, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.Calder walked over and gently shook her shoulder."Sian," he called softly. "Wake up. It's almost five in the morning."Sian groaned and pulled the blanket over her face. "Calder, baby, let me sleep a little longer. My whole body hurts.""You can't stay here," Calder said, sitting beside her. He gently brushed a strand of messy hair away from her face. "Garrick is still walking around the hotel, and Burl is probably going crazy downstairs. If Garrick or anyone in your family finds out you've been here before the wedding at noon, there'll be trouble. I don't want you gettin
Chapter 27: The Dirty Cover-Up and the Severed Bond
An hour later, everything was quiet except for the sound of the air conditioner running.Garrick sat on the edge of the bed and lit an expensive cigar. He glanced at the white sheets before turning toward Tamsin. His expression changed almost immediately, and his brows drew together."What the hell is this, Tamsin?"He took a drag from his cigarette and let out the smoke, his voice sharp with disbelief.Tamsin pulled the duvet over her shoulders and looked at him uneasily. "Garrick... what's wrong?""Don't play dumb with me!" He grabbed her chin, his fingers pressing painfully into her skin. "For three years, you've told me you never let that broke loser Calder touch you. You said you were saving yourself until you married into a family like mine. But you're not a virgin! So tell me, who took it from you?"Tamsin's heart lurched.She couldn't let Garrick believe she had willingly given herself to Calder. If he thought she had been unfaithful to him, he might abandon her completely. Wo
Chapter 26: Trapped in Room 106 ii
He smelled strongly of expensive whiskey, and his expression carried the familiar arrogance she had seen countless times before. Before Tamsin could properly greet him or make an excuse to leave, he reached out, wrapped an arm around her waist, and pulled her against him."Garrick, what are you doing?" she asked in surprise.Instead of answering, he gave her a knowing grin and led her toward another elevator. Tamsin tried to protest, but his grip was firm, and he clearly had no intention of letting her go.He took her straight to Room 106 and locked the door behind them.Tamsin immediately understood what he wanted. She knew Garrick well enough to realize that he hadn't brought her there simply to talk, especially after the way he had insisted on meeting her at the hotel.She needed to buy herself some time.Thinking quickly, she told him she had been running around all evening handling Burl's wedding arrangements and was covered in sweat. She said she wanted to take a shower before a
Chapter 25: Trapped in Room 106 i
"Sian!"Burl screamed so loudly that his voice almost burst through the phone speaker. He sounded furious and shocked, like he could hardly hold back his anger."Are you cheating on me?! Who is that? I heard a man's voice! Tell me right now, who the hell is in that room with you?"Sian didn't panic. Instead, she tilted her head back and gave Calder a playful look, leaning against his bare chest with a quiet giggle. She seemed more amused than worried about Burl's accusation.Then she raised the phone to her ear again."Have you completely lost your mind, Burl?" she snapped, her voice dripping with indignation. "How dare you make up such disgusting accusations on the night before our wedding? What man are you talking about?"Burl was still shouting, but Sian continued without giving him a chance to speak."I went to my best friend's apartment to get my hair and nails done for tomorrow. If you don't believe me, call her yourself and ask! It's already late, and I'm tired. I'm going to sl
Chapter 24: The Call in the Dark
Greed flickered in Sian's eyes as she thought about Calder's proposal.Her father was the director of Central Hospital, and her family had never been short of money. Still, there was no reason to turn down money that practically fell into her lap. If she could marry Burl, take advantage of the Lowen family's wealth, and then divorce him with half their assets in her hands, she would have everything she wanted.And once she was free of Burl, she could finally be with Calder openly.The thought made her smile. She wrapped her arms around Calder's neck and pressed herself against him, her voice turning sweet and affectionate."Calder, you really do think of everything. You're so thoughtful. What would I ever do without you?"Calder smiled back without revealing what he was thinking."Then just listen to me and be patient.""Of course, baby. I'll do whatever you say."Sian leaned in to kiss him, and soon the two of them moved toward the king-sized bed. The lights in the presidential suite
