“Mr. Carter, your brother just called off his wedding. This means the will is still unclaimed, and has fallen right

into your laps. Congratulations, sir,” my lawyer said into the phone after | answered the call and | instantly sat

up, my eyes widened in utter shock.

“What?!”

My lawyer repeated those words, and then we spoke smore. After the call ended, my mind was reeling hard,

and | was still so shocked out of my mind, but also happy as hell.

At the end of the day, | ended up achieving my end goal! | literally couldn’t believe my ears right now.

The happiness filling up my insides knew no bounds and it was unlike anything I've ever felt before. This was the

reason | played pretend boyfriend with Addison for five days, and despite not achieving this goal by the end of

the five days, my goal still ended up coming to pass at the end of the day, and right now, | was certain | was the

happiest person on earth right now.

“What the fuck, dude? This calls for celebration!” My buddy, Fred, yelled after | broke the news to him once he

cover. Fred is one of my closest friends and the one who knew the battle | had with my parents, while the

rest of my friends just believed that | was just rebelling against my parents for no reason in particular. Fred is

also my IT guy. We went to school together and have been friends since.

Fred popped open a champagne and | laughed heartily as he poured us a glass each.

“Here's to you winning and winning!” He yelled and as we clinked our glasses together, | felt grateful to have a

friend as awesas Fred.

As | downed my Champagne, my mind wandered. My lawyer claimed Marco ended his wedding because he

revealed his bride had been cheating on him. But | knew damn well that Marco knew Aisha had always been

unfaithful but just didn’t care cause he never loved her, plus | was certain that had just been his excuse to end

the wedding- the real reason was undoubtedly because of Addison.

| felt impressed, | wouldn't lie. This means he must care about her way more than | realized, for him to readily

kiss the Will goodbye by calling off the marriage because of Addison.

He was undoubtedly gonna go to Addidon now, and she’ll most definitely agree to be with him now.

“Oh shit.” | muttered audibly and Fred arched a brow at me.

“What's wrong?” He asked.

“I just realized that Addison is gonna be with Marco now.” | muttered while Fred rolled his eyes,

“So? That's none of your concern that the chick is that dumb. You've gotten what you wanted and that’s all that

matters.” He muttered as he rolled his eyes.

| sipped on my champagne, while controlling myself against saying that Addison wasn’t dumb.

But I guess she'd be pretty dumb if she agrees to be with Marco once he returns to her.

Marco isn’t in love with her, he’s just in love with being loved by her, that is all. He still wouldn't treat her right,

and she'll still end up getting her heart broken by him again.

| shook my head in disappointment as | downed the rest of my wine.

| had broken a rule the day | left Italy, which was yesterday. After waking up in that hotel room and getting ready

to leave, | had left her a text, inviting her to reach out toin order forto replace her dress. I've never done

that before cause that wasbasically inviting her to contact me- for obvious reasons, when in the past, | used

to vehemently be against that after the sex was over.

But at least now | was sure she wouldn't be reaching out, not when Marco is undoubtedly back in her life and

she’s undoubtedly feeling stupidly in love once again.

And that’s a good thing on my path. Retaining contact with her wasn’t a good idea, and it’s a good thing that

wouldn't be happening.

| should even feel good about this. Getting her together with Marco was what | promised her at the beginning of

our pretense, and that’s what had ended up happening, which means them getting together would mostly be

because ofcause | was certain it wasbeing all over Marco that made him asshe was losing being

loved by her toof all people, and clearly that was more important to him than the will.

| exhaled as | got to my feet. Well, that was none of my concern anyway. If he and Addison get together, that's

their business, and if Addison ends up regretting it, she'll have to deal with it herself.

Marco looked roughed up when his face cup on zoom call, like he had aged ten years in days. Calling off a

wedding in the middle of if clearly took its toil on him.

“Just because | called the wedding off doesn’t mean I'm no longer interested in the will. It's Mine!” He growled

hostily and I rolled my eyes.

“It initially belonged to me. And now, I've taken what belongs toback. You and father should back off from

it.” | stated calmly, eying my father’s face. He was on this zoom call as well, but had been silent since he joined.

“We'll do no such thing! You still can’t fully claim it even with the wedding called off, not with father still being

against it. His signature and stamp of approval is needed, remember?” Marco tauntedand | rolled

my eyes.

“That's why you both need to willingly back off, and father needs to put in his signature no matter what... else

I'd go to the public with all the sweet juicy things | discovered from a little mouse.”

Marco laughed. “Threats? Seriously? Whatever you believe you discovered is gonna hold no water, I'm

certain.”

Instead of arguing with him, | pulled out a list, which contained all the dirt | got from Marco’s phone after

snooping through it when Aisha helpedsteal it for a little while.

my father didn’t look relaxed anymore.

He looked furious right now, while a panicked looking Marco pointedly avoided his gaze.

I grinned when they both glanced at me. Clearly I've gotten them exactly where | needed them at.
