    The next morning, Vincent was up early. He hadn't slept a wink all night, and it showed.Recalling the events of the night before, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.All he wanted was to thank Calliope for recommending him to Laura, yet somehow the whole situation had spiraled into an awkward mess.As he reached the top of the stairs, Vincent heard the sound of a faint cough coming from the dining room. His chest tightened.Had his stunt disturbed Calliope's sleep and kept her up all night?He shook his head, beating himself up for his sheer recklessness.Smoothing down his shirt, he squared his shoulders and made his way down the stairs toward the dining room.The instant he stepped inside, his eyes met Calliope's. The memories of last night's fiasco came flooding back, making him flustered.Calliope stared at him in silence. Her dark gaze was unreadable as the air between them grew uneasy.Vincent took a deep breath and tried to break the silence."Ms. Moore, about

    Seeing his chance to break free, Vincent sat up and asked with concern, "Ms. Moore, are you feeling all right? You don't look so good." Calliope shot him a glare, her feelings a tangled mess.Was he playing dumb, or did he really not get it? Thinking back to the idea Ayla had given her, she couldn't help regretting it.But there was no turning back now. She had to see it through.Calliope took a long, slow breath to ground herself. There was a hint of resignation in her voice as she said, "I'm fine. Just help me sit up."Moving closer, Vincent supported her by the arm and helped her sit up. He caught the faint scent drifting from her, stirring something unfamiliar in his chest.A second later, the lights came on. A warm glow filled the room, making the atmosphere subtly intimate.Once settled, Calliope studied him for a moment, a faint smile on her lips.Clearing her throat, she said, "Well, Mr. Carter. I believe you owe me answers."Vincent knew he was in the wrong, but h

    The moment Vincent's fingers touched her skin, Calliope felt a sharp jolt run through her. She fought hard not to shiver.That warmth of his touch spread through her chest like a ray of summer sun, igniting a flame within her.Yet Vincent remained completely oblivious. He worked down her leg inch by inch, occasionally letting out a puzzled murmur as though he were searching for something. His fingers pressed and massaged the muscles, gentle yet firm.The unusual sensation sent a wave of heat rushing through Calliope's body, leaving her flushed, as though she were burning up. Sleep was entirely out of the question now.A rush of conflicting emotions flooded her heart. She was caught between sheer bashfulness, anticipation, and a strange thrill in her heart.Vincent withdrew his hands and frowned.Calliope's legs were nothing like Denzel's. Her muscles hadn't atrophied and were in fact quite healthy, meaning her recovery should be far easier than he'd anticipated.But when he pres

    Vincent stopped and turned around. "What's wrong?" he asked.Marisol studied him, her sharp gaze cutting straight through him."You seem remarkably keen on tracking this woman down. Want to tell me what this is really about?"He blinked, then smoothly forced a smile."You're overthinking this. It's about payback, nothing more. She played me for a fool, and nobody drags my name through the mud and walks away clean," Vincent replied with a hint of self-deprecating humor.Marisol offered a faint smile, though a hint of doubt flickered in her eyes. Although she didn't buy it, she decided not to press him further.…Back at Moore Villa, Vincent made a beeline for the study. He was intent on thanking Calliope in person.However, the room was empty. Edmund was the only person there, tidying up the desk.Upon spotting Vincent, he broke into a smile and made a few hand gestures.After spending so much time around him, Vincent had learned enough sign language to know that Edmund was sa

    At exactly 2:00 pm, Vincent walked into the hotel lobby. He'd spent the whole morning polishing the partnership proposal, determined to make the best possible impression on Laura.The whole process went exceptionally smoothly. Laura didn't even read past the first page before asking her butler to bring her pen and company seal."Ms. Albright, are you sure you don't want to go through the fine print?" Vincent asked, incredulous.Laura smiled, her gaze full of trust."I have no reason to doubt your integrity, Mr. Carter. But above all, I trust Ms. Moore's judgement. If she recommended you, that settles it.""This is going better than I ever expected," Vincent thought.It was a stark reminder of Calliope's influence. A single word from her carried more weight than hours of his best arguments combined."Well then, Mr. Carter. Here's to a successful partnership," Laura said, extending her hand.Vincent shook it, smiling confidently."I'm looking forward to it. Though, there is some

    When had Marisol, an adopted daughter and an outsider to the family, grown so formidable? Chad realized Tony had made a grave mistake by ever going easy on her.While Chad fumed, Marisol caught on instantly. Getting rid of Gordon was the key to stopping Chad and Tony from planting any more moles in the company.Now, her focus was on planting one of their own allies at Chad's side instead.Realizing Gordon was truly finished, Chad stormed out in a rage and slammed the door behind him. His footsteps echoed down the hallway before eventually fading into silence.The office had barely fallen quiet when the phone rang sharply, breaking the silence.One glance at the incoming call made Vincent's eyes gleam, and he cast a knowing look in Marisol's direction.He hadn't expected to hear back from Laura so soon. Maybe there was hope after all.Vincent picked up quickly, expecting Laura's assistant or secretary. He certainly never expected Laura herself to be on the other end, speaking in
