Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 16

Stefan got a text from Ruby. He read it, but didn't reply.

He never had feelings for Ruby. They just knew each other from their families being close since they were kids.

They practically grew up together, but Stefan wouldn't agree with the idea that they've liked each other since childhood. Stefan looked down at the girl sleeping sweetly against his chest, his gaze softening. He gently touched Lucinda's face with his hand.

Seeing that she didn't wake up, he glanced at the driver, who was focused on the road. He nudged Lucinda a little, then quickly planted a kiss on her cheek.

Stealing a kiss from a girl was both nerve-wracking and chaotic, but also sweet.

After the stolen kiss, Stefan hugged Lucinda tight again, looking ahead as if nothing had happened.

"We're almost there, young master."

"Alright, remember not to call me that when Lucinda and I are together."

"Got it, young master, oh, Mr. Coleman."

The driver immediately changed his way of addressing Stefan.

Suddenly, Lucinda's phone rang.

Stefan wanted to answer it for her, but she woke up.

Realizing she was in Stefan's arms, she quickly moved away.

She gave Stefan an embarrassed smile. She just wanted to take a quick nap, but ended up falling asleep in his arms.


Even though they were legally married, they had an agreement. She was renting him to play her husband, he wasn't her real husband.

According to their agreement, they should avoid physical contact as much as possible.

Lucinda pulled out her phone, checked the caller ID and said to Stefan, "It's Ike." He was definitely calling to check on her.

Lucinda picked up her brother's call.

"Ike."
