"Just steal my fiancé. Seduce him. Make him love you. And then... break his heart." Rosette Valentino nearly flinched at what Juliette Mortez had just told her. For money and her company, she decided to pretend to be the secretary of her fiancé-none other than the famous billionaire Elliot Jon Mallary. Her mission was to steal his heart and hurt him in the end, just as she and Juliette had agreed. Juliette wanted revenge and to finally be with the man she desired. But as Rosette gradually got closer to Elliot, she realized she had fallen for him. Eventually, they both developed feelings for each other and she forgot that it was all just an act. Until the day came when Elliot discovered the truth about her. He was furious and decided to cut her out of his life. Can Rosette find a way to prove her genuine love, or is their chance at love gone forever?

Stealing Elliot Chapter 1 Prologue

Rosette rubbed her face at the wrong time. She made a mistake-a huge one. She bet half a million on a gamble. She placed it on her friend, Priscilla, who had a horse race with her long-time rival. Because she loved her friend so much, she acted foolishly and gambled the money meant for their struggling company's investment.

Priscilla lost. All her money was gone.

You're so stupid, Rosè! She slapped herself as she slumped on the bench like a melting candle. Then, Priscilla approached her with a sorrowful look.

She shot her a sharp glare. "You disappointed me. Now, I've also lost my money. What shall I do?"

"I'm sorry..." was all her friend could say.

After that, she attended a concert of her favorite K-pop group to distract herself from her problems. But she didn't enjoy it at all. What would she tell her father?

She was just stepping outside when she bumped into a woman. She had to lift her head to see her face. The woman had long, wavy dark brown hair. Her chestnut eyes sparkled even in the dim light. Her cheeks were smooth and glowing, her nose elegantly shaped, fitting her small face, and her lips were small and red. Her skin was white and porcelain-like-clearly a foreigner. She had a slim, slender figure and wore a minimalist but classy outfit. Rosette didn't realize she was staring with her mouth slightly open. The woman just smiled.

Next thing she knew, she was at a milk tea shop with her. The woman had invited her for a snack after the tiring concert. "Don't worry, I'll pay," she had said.

"Rosette Valentino, yours?" she introduced herself after getting her milk tea. They sat at a corner of the café.

The woman smiled sweetly. "Juliette Mortez. Nice meeting you," she replied in a casual but friendly tone and extended her hand.

They shook hands. "Nice meeting you too," Rosette said with a smile.

"I noticed you at the concert earlier. You looked gloomy. I realized I'm not the only one depressed right now," Juliette said while sipping her matcha milk tea.

Rosette raised an eyebrow-she hadn't realized she was being observed. No wonder the woman invited her out.

Her eyes widened, but she began to feel at ease. Even though she had just met Juliette, it felt like reconnecting with a long-lost friend-she felt comfortable opening up.

"I lost my half-million pesos meant for our struggling company's investment," she confessed, her voice heavy with sadness. Tears welled up in her eyes.

"We're in the same boat," Juliette said with the same sadness, setting her milk tea on the table.

Rosette was intrigued. She raised an eyebrow. "Why? What happened to you?"

"My parents are arranging a marriage for me with a man I don't like. What's worse is he's my childhood friend. Actually, there are three of us who were close. And the one I like is the other friend. I feel doomed, you know?" she said softly, though the tension was evident as she clenched her fists.

Rosette covered her mouth, feeling sorrowful at her story. It took her a moment to respond.

"So... what are we going to do now, Juliette?" she asked, burying her face on the table, wallowing in her regret.

"I came up with a deal," Juliette said with enthusiasm, smiling at her even though her head was still down. Her face was glowing with light.

Rosette was curious and lifted her head.

"So, Rosette, are you ready for the opportunity of a lifetime?" Juliette leaned in with a sparkle in her eye.

Rosette raised an eyebrow. "Opportunity? Or a major setup? Because it feels a bit... shady, if I'm being honest."

"Let's just say it's a little of both. Don't worry, I'll pay you double," she said coolly, sipping her drink.

"What do you do for a living? You might be scamming me. And what exactly do I have to do?"

"Hey, c'mon. What do you think of me? I'm a supermodel. I'm hiding my identity right now, you know?"

Rosette inspected her outfit-it wasn't even that covered up. Just a normal outfit. But money was money, so why doubt it? She must really be rich. Unlike Rosette-a CEO with no money.

"Just steal my fiancé. Seduce him. Make him love you. And then... break his heart."

She nearly jumped from her seat. That was something she didn't know how to do. She never had a boyfriend-unless you count the one her father arranged with a friend's son. She had a fiancé now, but it was a loveless relationship-more like a business partnership.

She exhaled. It felt hot inside the café even though the air conditioner was blasting. There weren't many people now, since it was almost morning. Thankfully, the café was open 24/7.

"Hey Miss Juliette, you want me to make him fall in love and then hurt him? I'm not that cruel! A-and I already have a fiancé!" she nervously declined, wiping her neck for show.

Juliette set down her milk tea.

"You want money, right? Think about it. You help me, and I'll help you. A little seduction isn't too much to ask for the kind of cash I'm offering," she smirked and stared deeply, patiently waiting for her answer.

"You're okay with me seducing your fiancé?"

"I told you already, I don't like him. He ruined my life and crushed my hopes of being with the one I truly love. I want to destroy him! So do it!"

"What's your fiancé's name?"

"Elliot Jon Mallary."

Her ears rang upon hearing that name.

"The cold, ruthless, and arrogant billionaire CEO, according to rumors. A woman-hater..." she pointed a trembling finger. "You? You're going to marry that jerk? Oh, poor me. How can I possibly seduce him?"

She felt like melting in her seat. She glanced at her milk tea. The ice had melted, and water had pooled on the table. She had forgotten to drink it.

"I know you can do it! So what do you say-deal?" Juliette's tone was enticing.

She saw the promise of peso bills in Juliette's eyes. She badly needed the money, and she had no choice.

"Fine. Deal. What shall I do? How do I start?" she reluctantly agreed.

A smile curved on Juliette's lips. She moved beside her and hugged her.

"First, you need to hide your identity and become his secretary. It's perfect timing-his secretary is about to resign."

"Or did you convince her to leave so-"

"Fine. I orchestrated it. You're a God's gift to me. So, are you ready to seduce and break him?"

She shrugged. "And then what? I make him cry, get my money, and we both go our separate ways? That sounds harder than it seems," she complained, furrowing her brows.

Juliette scoffed. "Think of it as a little social experiment. Heartbreak will follow, and then I'll get my sweet revenge," she whispered.

She shook her head. "Wow! Hurting someone that easily. Fine. I'll do it."

"I'll transfer the money tomorrow. So give me your bank account number." Juliette winked. Rosette handed her business card and wrote down her account number.

Juliette eagerly returned to her seat and pulled out her phone.

"Just remember: this is all about breaking hearts," she reminded.

Rosette nodded slowly. "Right. I guess I better put on my best charm." She picked up her ube-flavored milk tea and took a sip.

Juliette clapped her hands in excitement. "Excellent! This is going to be fun. Just remember, darling, one man's heartbreak is another woman's victory."

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."
