You Crushed My Heart, So I Crushed Your EmpireChapter 1

While picking out wedding rings with my celebrity fiancé, a paparazzi photographer caught us from behind.

Anthony Gilbert wasn't the least bit upset. He actually smiled.

"So what? Let's just go public."

Four years of keeping our relationship a secret. I thought he was finally ready to tell the world about us, and my heart soared.

But at the yacht party the very next day, in front of every camera and microphone in the room, he slid the wedding ring onto rising starlet Bianca Whitmore's finger and announced their relationship.

Watching my expression go blank, Anthony lazily blew a smoke ring.

"She just debuted. The girl needs buzz and exposure. I'm the senior here, so helping her out is the least I can do."

"Besides, can you imagine if people found out my fiancée is just some assistant who fetches coffee? How embarrassing would that be for me?"

"Stop giving me attitude. I never said I wouldn't marry you. I just can't go public, that's all. You should count yourself lucky I'm keeping you around. Don't push it."

Bianca nestled into his arms, cheeks flushed pink, looking every bit the innocent girl experiencing her first crush.
