Unlocked the CEO's Chained Heart

Andriana "Andy" Bennett had lived her entire young life like a Princess, spoiled and loved by her parents and older brother. But tragedy struck her family, leaving her orphaned and alone. The Preston family took her in. Mr. Preston, her father's best friend, treated her like the daughter he never had, honoring his friendship with her father. However, Mrs. Preston only tolerated her presence. She had ensured that she would remember she never belonged in their family. Then, there were the handsome Preston brothers, Lucas, who treated her like she did not exist, and Tristan, who had become very close to her. Her life might not be perfect, but it was ok until she caught her boyfriend cheating on her on her 21st birthday. Wanting to get back at him, she dared to kiss her so-called brother, the older Preston brother, Lucas. What she did not expect was that he would kiss her back. Then, that was where the chaos started as she found herself on a roller coaster ride. She was engaged in a day, married in a week, and divorced two years after their contract ended. It sounded simple enough, but it was not. What would happen next?

Chapter 38

Chase glanced at her while driving, thinking how guilty he felt for sending her to the hospital. Of course, that was not his intention.

"I heard you had been in the hospital. Are you alright now?" He asked while he drove them to the site.

The waiter that he bribed to spike their drinks could not see an opportunity to tamper with their wine. Therefore, he alternately spread the powder on the cake's icing.

If he had known that, he would have canceled the whole thing. He knew that his friend, Lucas, did not like sweets. Therefore, he already knew that it would not work.

"It is nothing. The doctor said I must have reacted badly to something I ate. But I'm ok now." She cheerfully answered, seemingly recovered and back on her feet.

He was glad. However, he knew he had messed up their carefully laid plan. But it was not his fault, not entirely. It was that stupid prick. He just had to improvise and ruin it.
