“Hi guys. It’s me.” she waved at the camera.

The host chuckled. “Is it really you? Because the Kendra we knew used to be so shy.”

This was the second time Kendra had sat in front of these cameras. The first had been quieter, more hesitant. Today she carried herself differently.

“Really?” she said. “Let’s just say I’m now a changed person.” She smiled, her expression easy and controlled.

“Yeah, you have. Because it's really beautiful.” The host’s compliment landed lightly. Kendra only nodded.

    Emily blinked. “You…know Kendra?” she asked, trying to be sure.Before Knox could say another word, Kendra walked back into the dining room.She had changed nothing except the fresh white bandage wrapped around her left hand. Her expression was calm, almost unreadable, but anyone paying close attention could see the faint redness around her eyes.Emily immediately stood. “Kendra…”“I'm fine,” Kendra interrupted gently. “It's just a small cut.”Emily resumed her seat as though nothing had happened.Granny stared at her. “Don't worry about her, a small cut can't destroy someone who survived a cheating, right Kendra?”Kendra clenched her teeth, the words stabbed her but she can't break down in front of them.A servant stepped forward to pull out her chair, but Kendra shook her head.“I won't be staying, don't bother, thank you.” Kendra said to the servant, the servant bowed and walked away from her.Silence followed.Mr. Green frowned. “You're leaving? Is it that serious?”“Yes, I have t

    “Kendra,are you okay?” Emily gasped seeing the broken glasses.But Kendra sat there, her hands trembling, she didn't know how she broke the glass cup with her hand.“Kendra, please get up, what's wrong?” Mrs Green said.Knox wanted to stand up, but his mother held him down.“Please do not mind Kendra, she's a little clumsy.” Granny told them.Emily guided Kendra carefully up the staircase, one arm steady around her waist. Blood continued to drip from Kendra’s left hand, leaving small dark marks on the pale carpet runners. Neither of them said a word until they reached the second-floor landing and turned into the quieter wing of the house.Emily pushed the door open, wider with her free hand and led her cousin inside, closing it behind them with a soft click. The room was elegant but understated—cream walls, a large window overlooking the gardens, a canopy bed with pale green linens. Emily steered Kendra toward the small sitting area near the window and sat her down on the upholst

    The moment Kendra lifted her eyes, Knox forgot where he was.His fingers tightened ever so slightly around the crystal glass in his hand, the cool surface pressing into his palm as if to anchor him. Out of all the people he had expected to see at the Green estate that evening, Kendra Ree was the last name on any list he could have imagined.For a second, he wondered if his mind was playing tricks on him. The soft evening lights from the crystal chandeliers above caught the sheen of her long wavy hair as it cascaded over her shoulders, and the emerald-green gown she wore seemed chosen by fate itself, the rich fabric complementing the flawless warmth of her complexion. She looked even more beautiful than she was in the morning, when he had last seen her under far less formal circumstances.His mother noticed immediately. Mrs. Harrington’s gaze followed her son’s line of sight until it landed on Kendra. A soft, inward sigh escaped her. Without saying a word, she gave Knox a firm loo

    Kendra leaned back against the soft leather seat as her SUV drove off.Through the tinted window, the golden evening sun stretched across the city skyline, painting the buildings in shades of amber and orange. It was a beautiful evening—one most people would have appreciated—but all she could think about was how exhausted she felt.The interview had drained her more than she'd expected.Answering questions about Richard had forced her to reopen wounds she had spent days stitching together. She had promised herself she would never allow the past to define her again, yet speaking about it publicly had left a dull ache in her chest.She closed her eyes briefly, resting her head against the seat.At least it was over.Her phone buzzed several times beside her, but she ignored it completely. She already knew what the notifications were.Clips from the interview.News headlines.Social media reactions.People praising her.People criticizing her.People dissected every word she'd said as

    Kendra put on her glasses, unable to keep her emotions in place. “What if I tell you I've given him one of my kidneys? Would you believe it?” The interviewer froze. Her lips slowly parted in disbelief as she stared at Kendra, trying to determine whether she was serious or simply making a point. She blinked twice. "Would you believe it?" Kendra asked softly. For several long seconds, nobody spoke. The silence itself seemed louder than any answer. Finally, the interviewer let out a slow breath. "I..." she whispered, visibly stunned. "I honestly don't know what to say." The interviewer swallowed before asking carefully, "Did you... love him that much?" Kendra let out a quiet laugh. Her laughter didn't come from happiness. It sounded more like someone remembering a version of themselves they barely recognized anymore. "I didn't actually give him my kidney," she admitted with a small shake of her head. "But..."Her voice softened. "I would've given him If Richard ha

As we all know in Italy…I mean in Hart City…she’s the richest female billionaire.”“Thank God you corrected yourself,” Kendra said.“My bad.” Both women grinned.“Okay, let’s start with the questions. I mean…”“I mean…you love the words,” Kendra murmured, just loud enough for the microphone.“Yeah, I mean…I mean…” The host laughed at herself. Kendra watched her with a small, patient smile.The first real question came. “Tell us, y

    The moment Richard realized how tightly he was gripping her wrist, his expression changed. His fingers loosened immediately. "Did I hurt you?" he asked, his voice softening. "I'm sorry. I was worried. You left the mansion without telling anyone." Kendra stared at him. The concern in his eyes

    Richard's hand froze where it rested on Freya's waist and Freya pulled away from the kiss. Freya's face drained of color when she saw Kendra, she stood up from his laps and Richard immediately stood from his chair. "Kendra—" Kendra simply stared at both of them, the sight before her should have

    Richard grabbed Kendra's wrist and pulled her into the bedroom.She stumbled forward from the force of it, catching herself before she could fall and the door slammed shut behind them."What was that out there?" Richard demanded, his voice sharp with anger. "What kind of stunt were you trying to pu
