Evan Thorne looked at Maddy, who was resting her chin on her hands and staring at him with unblinking adoration. He flashed a devastatingly charming smile. "Little beauty, do you want a hug from your big brother?"

Maddy looked at Sarah with excitement. "Mommy, can I?"

Sarah couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation. Her daughter’s "pretty privilege" radar was fully functional; Maddy had always been a sucker for a handsome face. Whenever Liam Vance used to visit, Maddy would aba

    It didn't take long. Chloe emerged carrying a luxury shopping bag and hopped back into the car. With a flourish, she pulled out a vibrant red blazer and a dark, intricately patterned floral shirt.Xavier stared at the garments, his lip twitching in a mixture of disbelief and horror. "This... is your taste?"Chloe held them up like a trophy. "Exactly. Isn't it stunning?"Xavier’s sword-like brows knit together. "I beg to differ."A red suit? A floral shirt? Did this woman take him for a peacock? He briefly suspected she was retaliating for his "narcissism" earlier. Usually, her aesthetic was refined and elegant—where had this sudden burst of flamboyant "pimp" energy come from?Chloe remained unshakably confident. "You’ll see how good it looks once it's on."Xavier was at a loss for words. His current shirt was damp with cold sweat and his jacket was ruined by blood. He couldn't go to the prison gates looking like a casualty. Seeing her so determined to "fix" him, he decided to indulge

    Leo Grayson couldn't help but marvel as he watched the little boy's composure. "As expected of my brother’s son. The kid's got ice in his veins."Liam Jr., hearing this, gave a high-and-mighty roll of his eyes, as if to say: I was born brave; it has nothing to do with Xavier.Xavier Grayson didn't waste time. He signaled to one of the cars further back in the convoy. The owner, a business associate, immediately scrambled out, bowing and vacating the vehicle to hand it over to the CEO.Once they were inside the sanctuary of the new car, Chloe Bishop looked at Xavier, her voice raspy from crying. "You need to go to the hospital. The wound on your arm is deep—you’re losing too much blood."The crimson stain had already spread, turning half of his white sleeve into a grisly rag.Xavier remained unfazed, his voice flat. "Didn't you handle it for me last time? You're already an expert."Leo approached the car carrying Liam Jr., and Xavier immediately adjusted his jacket to hide the gore. He

    Inside the third car, Sienna was jolted forward, her head nearly colliding with the front seat. Leo Grayson’s reflexes were sharp; he reached out instantly, bracing her body to prevent a head injury."Are you okay?" Leo asked, his voice laced with genuine panic.Arthur Grayson’s voice crackled with urgency. "Leo, there’s been an accident up ahead. It looks like it’s your brother’s car. Get down there and see what happened!"Sienna muttered a quick "I'm fine" before pushing Leo aside and throwing the car door open. Her heart hammered against her ribs, but it wasn't just from fear. A dark, opportunistic thought crossed her mind—Was this it? Was the 'Demon CEO' finally taken down?It was Xavier Grayson’s car, no doubt about it. The lead Rolls Royce had taken the brunt of a collision with a stray truck.Inside the wreckage, Chloe Bishop was frozen. The moment the truck had swerved into their lane, Xavier hadn't reached for the door or his own safety. He had thrown his massive frame over h

    For some reason, Chloe felt a sudden, inexplicable spark of pride at Xavier’s backhanded compliment. Before she could catch herself, the words tumbled out: "What about Blueberry?"The moment the question left her lips, she regretted it. Her brain hadn't authorized her mouth to speak, yet there it was—the ultimate comparison.What is wrong with me? she thought. Am I actually jealous? No, I’m just... overthinking. In her subconscious, Chloe refused to admit that the "Demon CEO" was starting to occupy more than just her physical space.Xavier’s eyes darkened, a deep, unreadable glint appearing in his gaze. Chloe tried to play it cool, forcing a breezy laugh. "I was just asking. She’s the nation's 'Little Darling' right now, after all."Xavier watched her clumsy performance for a beat. "You’re a little better than her," he said eventually.Chloe frowned. "Just a little?"Xavier raised an eyebrow. "What else do you want?"This little jealous vixen, he thought, a flicker of amusement crossi

    Once the door was closed and they were alone, the Old lady clutched Chloe’s hand, her voice a fragile rasp. "My head is throbbing so fiercely... I don't think I can make it. Go and tell them not to wait for me.""But Grandmother—""No 'buts.' The doctor will be here any minute." The Old lady cut her off, patting Chloe’s hand with a comforting finality. "Don't worry. This is an old ghost of an ailment. I know my own body."Chloe’s brow furrowed with genuine concern. "What if I stay behind to keep you company? The press will be a nightmare anyway.""Go!" The Old lady waved her away with a sudden, uncharacteristic urgency.Assuming the matriarch simply wanted quiet to recover, Chloe didn't press further. She whispered a few final instructions to the maid and stepped out into the hallway.The moment the door clicked shut, the Old lady let out a massive sigh of relief.Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. Xavier Grayson was leaning against the doorframe, his sharp, predatory eyes fixed on h

    But a single question nagged at the back of her mind: If Xavier truly wanted to cannibalize the Bishop Group, why marry me? By making her his wife, he was technically merging his interests with hers. It felt counter-intuitive for a predator to marry his prey.Chloe turned on the faucet and splashed cold water over her face, forcing herself to focus. She couldn't crumble now. She had to wait for Aria Summer’s report from the States.When she stepped out of the bathroom, Xavier and Liam Jr. were already dressed and ready. Xavier’s sword-like brows knit together as he surveyed her. "Uncomfortable?"She had been in the bathroom for far too long, and her complexion was ghost-white."No," Chloe lied, avoiding his piercing gaze. "My foot just fell asleep."Xavier didn't press her. He scooped up Liam Jr. and gestured toward the nightstand with a voice that brooked no argument. "Drink that glass of milk on the table."With that, he carried the boy downstairs.Chloe stared at the white liquid,

    If Liam Martin were to pick one person to share the weight of his triumph and joy, the first name that would spring to mind was Chloe Bishop.In his heart, he knew that securing this partnership owed a fair amount to her. She had been his shadow and his support for six years, and the memory of her

    Despite his rare use of the private kitchen, Nanny White ensured the fridge was stocked daily with fresh ingredients, just in case the master of the house felt inspired.Now, Xavier realized he had inadvertently discovered a new chef with considerable potential.He glanced at the steaming bowl of n

    Little Maddy was paralyzed with terror. Tears streamed down her flushed face as she wailed, her small voice cracking under the strain. "Daddy, it’s not Mommy’s fault! I guessed it! Mommy didn't say anything to me, I promise..."It was the heartbreaking truth. Even in the depths of her fever and bet

    After ending the call with Dr. Julian Vance, Xavier Grayson leaned back against the plush leather of the Rolls-Royce. A rare, languid ease settled over his features; the cold, tectonic lines of his face had softened into something almost approachable. He was a man savoring a victory he hadn't yet f
