Denunciar
I came up with the idea of a fake marriage contract with a man who's completely devoted to his work. That man is also my boss. Albert thought it would be fun to go to Europe and get married. It was all fun and games until we were walking hand in hand through the streets of Europe. It was just the two of us, but Albert broke the one rule that stood between us. He dumped me. Albert will never love this child! He's so focused on his job and doesn't want any complications. Now, I have two options. Tell him and risk losing him. Or keep my secret and lose him anyway. Either way, I'll end up heartbroken. Unless a miracle saves our marriage and our future from collapse!

AMELIA IS GETTING CULTURED
Amelia's Point of ViewTorrens Incorporated was a family business in every sense of the word, so there was no way Albert and I could pull off this charade without his family knowing about it. That was why I wasn't worried about convincing Andi to go shopping with me. Margaret was out that morning, and Andi's schedule was flexible enough for her to take a few hours off to help me. Besides, it was for the business.As it turned out, she was far more interested in the wedding shopping than I was."He's going to wear a suit, don't you think?" she asked as she ran her fingers through row after row of wedding gowns in the bridal boutique we'd gone to. "Not a tuxedo.""I don't know." It hadn't even occurred to me to ask him."I think a suit. And since it's in Italy, it should be something classic with lace. Oh—and a little sexy, too.""Nothing sexy. That's not me," I said.She looked back at me over her shoulder."If there's nothing sexy about it, Len might get suspicious. Every bride wants
FORBIDDEN OPPORTUNITIES
Albert's Point of ViewSo far that morning, I hadn’t seen any legal documents indicating that Mrs. Nichols intended to sue me. But it was still early. I hadn’t stopped thinking all night about the possibility that she would realize the opportunity my ridiculous proposal had handed her. Why accept a check when she could sue me for millions? It wasn’t that she was the litigious or opportunistic type, but I had crossed a line.My grandmother would be deeply disappointed. That thought burned in my gut. I had worked hard to fill the place my father had left vacant after my mother died. Not that I blamed him. I was ten years old when she passed away. Noah was only five. My father, who had never enjoyed business, chose to stay home and raise my brothers and me. My grandmother supported him emotionally and financially so he could do that.But as I grew older, I realized my father never truly recovered from losing my mother. And I understood that my grandmother had always hoped that one day he
DREAMING OF MY BOSS
Amelia's POVSometimes, I had experiences that, in hindsight, made me wonder if I had completely misunderstood the situation. Maybe I hadn't heard the conversation correctly. That was what I kept thinking about the conversation with Albert and Mr. Len. But every time I replayed the conference call in my head, I came to the same conclusion: Albert Torrens had asked me to fake a marriage to him for a business deal. But then I’d think that it simply couldn't be true. He was my boss. He was a serious, focused man with integrity. He couldn't have suggested that we travel to Italy to get married.For the rest of the day, I argued with myself over what had happened. And by the time I was heading home, I still couldn't be sure if he meant what he said or if I had understood what he meant. The only solution was to tell my sister and see what she thought. Mary was more than just my sister and roommate; she was also my best friend. I trusted her, and I felt she could help me sort out this mess w
CRAZY IDEA
Albert's Point of ViewI had completely lost my mind.I had just implied that I was marrying my assistant in order to close a business deal. I was touching her in a personal way. Ms. Nichols was probably going to sue me for sexual harassment.But I needed this deal, and surely there was a way to make Amer Len happy without actually getting married. I could get engaged, close the deal, and once Amer Len experienced what an excellent business partner Torrens Incorporated was, it wouldn't matter whether I was married or not.At that point, Ms. Nichols and I could quietly call off the wedding."Congratulations!" Amer Len exclaimed. "Now I have even more to celebrate with my wife tonight. We are hopeless romantics."I wondered if that was part of French DNA.I glanced at Ms. Nichols, hoping she would go along with it. Her eyes were wide, and I was certain she was about to expose my lie.God, I could only imagine what Amer Len would think of me then."You weren't expecting me to share this
