Introduction

Chloe Clark se casó con un hombre común a través de un matrimonio relámpago, y después del matrimonio, los dos vivieron vidas no relacionadas. Un año después, se volvieron a encontrar en su empresa.

Corrían rumores de que el director ejecutivo del Grupo Harrison, que nunca había estado involucrado con mujeres, se casó y adoraba a su esposa. Chloe también lo sabía, pero no sabía que era la envidia de todos por ser la esposa del CEO.

Chapter 1

En el sur, el sol de verano se sentía como si pudiera freír a uno vivo.

Chloe Clark se tomó medio día libre en el trabajo, agarró su bolso con su identificación y tomó un taxi directo a la oficina de matrimonios en la ciudad de Skyhaven.

Chloe sabía que Cassidy Clark aún guardaba rencor por lo que había sucedido tres años atrás, pensando que Chloe no la había protegido lo suficiente, lo que arruinó su reputación y le impidió regresar a casa.

Cassidy también se preocupaba por envejecer y no poder cuidarla más, así que le pidió a Donna Taylor en Skyhaven City que le buscara a alguien. Donna resultó tener un nieto mayor y soltero.

Los mayores creían que lo mejor para una chica era casarse, sin importar con quién, siempre y cuando se casara.

Después de lo que pasó hace tres años y de ver tantos divorcios a su alrededor, Chloe no tenía esperanzas en el matrimonio. Pensaba que si conocía a alguien decente, se casaría; si no, quedarse soltera no sería lo peor.

Pero para aliviar las preocupaciones de Cassidy, aceptó casarse con el nieto de Donna.

Pronto, Chloe llegó a su destino. Al bajar del taxi, vio a un hombre alto parado en la entrada de la oficina de registro.

Llevaba una camisa blanca sencilla y pantalones negros, pero era tan apuesto que las mujeres que pasaban no podían evitar mirarlo.

Estaba al teléfono, sin prestar atención a su entorno.

Chloe sacó su teléfono y revisó la foto que Cassidy le había enviado. Tenía que ser él; se veía incluso mejor en persona.

Chloe se acercó a él. Cuando se aproximó, él guardó su teléfono y la miró. "¿Chloe?"

No solo era guapo, sino que también tenía una voz agradable.

Chloe asintió. "¿Eres Luke Taylor?"

Luke asintió y se dirigió hacia la oficina de registro.

Tenía piernas largas y caminaba rápido, así que Chloe tuvo que trotar para seguirle el paso. Preguntó casualmente, "¿Quieres reconsiderarlo?"

Luke se detuvo y miró su reloj. "¿Tienes alguna preocupación?"

Chloe quería preguntarle si él sabía quién era ella.

¿Sabía él sobre su pasado?

Luego pensó que probablemente Luke estaba en la misma situación, presionado por sus mayores para casarse, no por amor, así que no había necesidad de indagar en las vidas del otro.

Al igual que ella, solo sabía que Luke era el nieto de Donna y no tenía idea de a qué se dedicaba.

Chloe negó con la cabeza. "Vamos."

No había muchas personas casándose hoy, así que terminaron el proceso rápidamente.

Mirando el nuevo certificado de matrimonio, Chloe se sintió un poco mareada. Luke le entregó una tarjeta bancaria.

Él explicó, "Estoy muy ocupado con el trabajo en este momento y no tendré mucho tiempo para ti. Toma esta tarjeta; no tiene contraseña y puedes usar el dinero como quieras."

Chloe estaba un poco aturdida, y para cuando reaccionó, Luke ya se había subido a un coche de negocios en la acera y se había ido.

Miró la tarjeta bancaria en su mano y de repente sintió que estaba un poco caliente.

Trabajaba en la sucursal del Grupo Harrison y había iniciado un estudio de cómics con sus mejores amigas de la infancia. Sus ingresos mensuales eran sólidos y podía vivir cómodamente sin depender del dinero de un hombre.

Su matrimonio ideal sin amor era casarse para satisfacer a los mayores y luego vivir vidas separadas sin interferir el uno en el otro.

Sin embargo, si Luke estaba dispuesto a hacer que funcionara, ella también pondría esfuerzo en el matrimonio.

Después de pensarlo bien, Chloe tomó una foto del certificado de matrimonio y se la envió a Cassidy. "Abuela, obtuvimos nuestro certificado de matrimonio."

Cassidy respondió rápidamente con un mensaje de voz, "Bien, vive bien con él y ten un hijo pronto."

Chloe respondió con un "Está bien" y guardó su teléfono, sintiéndose un poco sofocada.

Así era como funcionaba la sociedad hoy en día: se instaba a los solteros a casarse, y una vez casados, se les instaba a tener hijos. Parecía que las chicas no podían tener sus propias vidas.

Después de obtener el certificado, Luke nunca volvió a contactar a Chloe, y su vida permaneció sin cambios. Seguía ocupada con el trabajo día y noche.

El tiempo voló, y pasó un año. Una vez más, era la temporada más calurosa del año.

Durante el último año, el desempeño excepcional de Chloe en el trabajo le valió una transferencia a la oficina de la secretaria en la sede del Grupo Harrison.

Hoy marcaba el regreso de Vincent Harrison, presidente del Grupo Harrison, después de un año en el extranjero. La gente en la empresa estaba nerviosa, especialmente aquellos como Chloe, que podrían ser transferidos para trabajar directamente bajo el presidente.

Mientras todos en la oficina del presidente esperaban ansiosamente, las puertas del ascensor exclusivo se abrieron y salieron dos hombres y una mujer.

El hombre que lideraba llevaba gafas con montura plateada, medía al menos un metro ochenta, tenía una gran complexión y un rostro muy apuesto.

Chloe lo encontró algo familiar y no pudo evitar mirarlo una segunda vez.

"Chloe, ese es el Sr. Harrison," le susurró su colega Seraphina Blake al oído. "Hubo una vez una chica en nuestra oficina que tuvo pensamientos inapropiados sobre el Sr. Harrison. La despidieron."

Chloe había estado en la sede por menos de un año y nunca había visto al presidente. Sabía que tenía menos de veintiocho años, pero no esperaba que fuera tan excepcionalmente guapo.

Sintiendo incomodidad, Chloe estaba a punto de explicarse cuando una risa fría vino desde atrás, "Soñando despierta todo el tiempo."

El que hablaba era David Jones, quien había estado desafiando a Chloe en el trabajo desde que ella rechazó sus avances.

Chloe nunca había albergado fantasías irrealistas y no podía molestarse con tales alborotadores.

David, sin embargo, pensó que había adivinado los pensamientos de Chloe y continuó burlándose, "Las mujeres hoy en día todas tienen la vista alta, pensando que pueden casarse con un rico solo porque son un poco bonitas."

"¿Qué casarse con un rico?" Emily White, la asistente del presidente, se acercó y les dio a los tres una mirada fría. "Chloe, Seraphina, David, vengan conmigo a la oficina del presidente."

Emily era una veterana de la empresa que había trabajado con el presidente anterior y había estado con Vincent durante muchos años. Ahora que iba a ser transferida al Oeste, alguien tenía que ocupar su lugar.

Chloe, Seraphina y David emergieron como los mejores, seleccionados de un grupo de más de veinte aspirantes que competían por el puesto de Emily en la oficina del presidente. La decisión final recaía directamente en manos del presidente.

Llegaron a la oficina del presidente, que estaba decorada de manera simple y elegante. Las ventanas de piso a techo de 180 grados ofrecían una vista panorámica de la mitad de la ciudad de Skyhaven.

El hombre conocido como Sr. Harrison llevaba una camisa blanca y pantalones negros. Estaba de pie junto a las grandes ventanas con una postura recta, elegante y noble.

Dirigiéndose a él con deferencia, Emily anunció, "Sr. Harrison, los candidatos están todos presentes."

Mientras la mirada penetrante de Vincent recorría al trío, un pesado silencio descendió, cada respiración cautiva por su mera presencia.

Armándose de valor, David avanzó un paso, su voz firme. "Sr. Harrison, soy David. He dedicado cinco años a la oficina del presidente. Mi tío Jonny Jones también le envía saludos..."

La mirada de Vincent se detuvo en David, su fachada estoica revelando una desaprobación silenciosa hacia aquellos que explotaban conexiones.

Volviendo su atención a Seraphina, el escrutinio de Vincent la llevó a pararse erguida, presentándose con una mezcla de confianza y nervios subyacentes. "Sr. Harrison, soy Seraphina. Tres años en la oficina del presidente..."

Trató de parecer confiada y compuesta, pero su voz temblorosa traicionaba sus nervios.

Finalmente, Vincent miró a Chloe, quien también lo miraba a él. Esta vez, estando más cerca, Chloe pudo ver más claramente el rostro perfectamente esculpido del hombre.

Todavía sentía inexplicablemente que lo había visto en algún lugar antes.

Chloe no tenía idea de que Vincent era en realidad Luke, su esposo, a quien solo había visto una vez el día de su registro de matrimonio.

Cuando Luke nació, la familia Harrison estaba en crisis. Para la seguridad de su único heredero, le dieron dos identidades.

El nombre anunciado públicamente era Vincent, mientras que el utilizado para la vida cotidiana era Luke Taylor, tomando el apellido de Donna. Solo la familia Harrison sabía sobre esto.

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.

“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*

“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”

Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.

“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”

**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.
