Chapter 1
Brother Seats His Sister at the Kids’ Table Before a Billionaire CEO Reveals She Wrote His Career-Making Speech.
Nicholas Parker thought the children’s table was the perfect place to hide his sister.
It sat near the edge of the Vermont wedding ballroom, far from the head table, far from the investors, far from the wealthy guests he had spent months trying to impress.
Coloring sheets.
Crayons.
Chicken nuggets.
A juice box.
A toy dinosaur beside Jenna Parker’s untouched plate.
Jenna sat there in a pale-blue satin dress, her brunette hair pinned softly, her face calm enough that only someone who knew her well would recognize the humiliation.
Nicholas stepped behind her in his black tuxedo, smiling tightly.
Then Emmett Stewart sat down beside her.
The billionaire CEO.
The man Nicholas had chased for six months.
Nicholas moved quickly, extending one hand toward the prestigious tables beneath the chandeliers.
“Mr. Stewart, your seat is at the head table.”
Conversations stopped.
Champagne glasses froze midair.
Emmett did not stand.
He placed one hand calmly beside the toy dinosaur and looked up at the groom.
“I came here to speak with Jenna.”
Nicholas’s smile vanished.
“You know my sister?”
Emmett rose slowly from the child-sized table, but he stayed beside Jenna.
“She wrote every word of the speech you praised last week.”
The silence became brutal.
Nicholas’s hand dropped.
Jenna stood gracefully, leaving the crayons, juice box, and chicken nuggets behind her.
Her eyes met her brother’s.
“You told me not to ruin the image.”
Emmett offered her his arm.
Jenna did not take it yet.
