Chapter 1 The Shadow Agenda

Chapter 1: The Unexpected Proposal

Lexi Thompson was in the midst of planning the biggest event of her career, a high-profile charity gala at the prestigious Plaza Hotel. Her phone rang nonstop, and her team buzzed around her, finalizing details. Suddenly, her mother's voice pierced through the chaos.

"Lexi, darling! I need to see you in the office. Now."

Lexi's heart sank. What could her mother want? She excused herself and made her way to the office, her mind racing with worst-case scenarios.

As she entered the office, her mother, father, and a suave-looking stranger were seated around the conference table. Her parents' somber expressions made her stomach twist with anxiety.

"Lexi, sweetie, this is Julian Blackwood," her mother introduced, her voice tight with tension. "He's...an investor."

Lexi's eyes narrowed. What did this have to do with her?

Julian stood, his piercing blue eyes locking onto hers. "Lexi, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. I've heard great things."

Lexi's confusion deepened. "Finally meet me?"

Her father cleared his throat. "Lexi, we've been discussing a potential merger between our companies. Blackwood Investments and Thompson Events would make a formidable team."

Lexi's mind raced. A merger? What did this mean for her business, her independence?

Julian smiled, his eyes gleaming with confidence. "And to solidify our partnership, I propose we take our relationship to the next level...by getting married."

Lexi's jaw dropped. Marriage?! Was this some kind of joke?
