Chapter 1Fifty grand.That’s what it took for me to pretend to be my brother and take care of his blind fiancée.The day she got her sight back, I vanished.Our paths crossed again at a business interview.I was the lowly intern reporter.She was back to being a powerful heiress, calling the shots at the Hamilton Corporation.She was being interviewed: "We hear you're about to tie the knot, Miss Hamilton, thanks to your fiancé, Kevin, who stood by you during your illness?"A faint smile touched her lips.She raised her hand, showing off a ring."Yes, Kevin and I are getting engaged."But her gaze lingered, almost deliberately, on me, standing in the corner.1.Before the interview began, the room buzzed with gossip."This Hamilton girl is calling the shots now.""Heard she went blind five years ago, kicked out of the family. Wouldn't have made it if her fiancé Kevin hadn't taken care of her.""Shhh, quiet!"I sat there, forcing a smile.My fingernails dug into my palms.Suddenly, my boss, Mr. Henderson, turned around."Hey, Andy, go grab me a water, would ya?"I'd barely reached the water cooler when the doors swung open.She walked in.My mind went blank.Three years.The change in Olivia was incredible.The fragile girl was gone.Now she was tall, elegant, her features softer."Excuse me."Her voice was cool.Her eyes brushed over me, like I was a stranger.She didn't pause.She walked onto the stage, surrounded by her security.As she passed, I froze.I’d been with her when she was at her lowest.When she'd been cast out and blinded.Of course she wouldn’t recognize me.…Maybe that was for the best.I brought back the water.The interview had started.Olivia was on stage, facing the crowd with confidence.She was answering questions about business.The side door opened.Kevin strolled in, smiling.He was apologizing to Olivia."Sorry, Liv.""Shooting on set ran late."He adjusted his suit and sat beside her.The room went silent, then filled with romantic vibes.Mr. Henderson took a sip of his water, then glanced at me, eyes widening."Hey, Andy, you know what?
