They Framed Me to Steal My Company, Unaware of My SecretChapter 1

Allie's POV

After taking over my dad’s company, my best friend, Gwendolyn Frost, insisted we play out one of those over-the-top “cold CEO and his lover” scenes.

So, I booked out an entire amusement park and even prepared a sky full of fireworks just to entertain her fantasies.

But before the show could even start, a woman came running out of the bushes with a child in her arms.

Gwendolyn slapped her hands over her eyes and yelled, “Oh my God! Did Cleopatra just leap out of the screen to get me back? Babe, help me! I promise I’ll quit picking on people!”

The woman threw herself at my leg, crying so hard she was practically leaking everywhere. “Sweetheart, you promised you’d marry me once your career took off. Why did you disappear for three whole years? And who is this woman? Do you not want me anymore? What about our child?”

I was stunned, touching my hair I’d cut earlier that day just to avoid an arranged marriage.
