This wasn't how she imagined her blissful life to be with the man she loved.**********A few minutes earlier.A wedding anniversary was being held on a luxurious cruise ship. The entire ship was decorated with fancy lightning and different kinds of ribbons and flowers. The guests dressed in expensive attires sat down on the chairs, all smiles as they happily wined and dined.
What's more romantic than having a joyful and dignified wedding anniversary for two young couples by the beautiful sea?
It was almost past midnight and since the necessary event for the anniversary had commenced in the morning the entire concept of the party had changed into a party in full swing.
The DJ was deafening enough to dominate the smooth and melodious sound of the waves of the sea, while the loud squeals and cheers from the partiers emanated delightful vibes all across the first floor of the cruise ship.
Most of the adult guests shook their heads in amusement as they watched the youngsters from different families turn into a different person from the once elegant and modest characters they always showed out.
A young woman holding a glass of white wine could be seen walking around the hall, thanking the remaining few guests that were still sitting in their seats. She was wearing a white, off-the-shoulder long dress with a little slit in the front, exposing a little bit of her beautiful long legs. Her dress perfectly hugged her curves revealing her sexy figure. She had beautiful black eyes fixated on the guests she was currently conversing with.……………….The tension in the boardroom was thick—quiet, coiled, and waiting to snap.Twelve men sat around the long glass table. Most of them were seasoned executives, used to pressure, used to dominance. But today, none of them spoke above a whisper. Their eyes kept drifting to the man seated at the head of the table.Alexander King.He hadn’t said a word since walking in. Not like he needed to.His presence alone bent the air in the room. Everyone knew who he was—not just in the business world, but beyond it. No one crossed Alexander King without consequence. Not competitors. Not politicians. Not the ghosts who ran the underground.Today’s meeting was supposed to be routine. A merger proposal. A discussion of assets. Basically a negotiation.But the moment the rival CEO opened his mouth, it all shifted.“We believe,” the man began, mustering a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes, “that this merger would benefit both parties—”Alex tilted his head slightly.Just that. The man falte
The city outside shimmered with restless movement, but inside, at the top floor of a particular familiar building, time seemed frozen.Alexander sat still behind his desk, his sharp features etched in cold neutrality. He didn’t speak. He didn’t move. Only his fingers tapped—slow, deliberate—against the polished surface of the desk.Derek stood across from him, hands clasped behind his back. “She’s settling in.”Alexander didn’t look up.“No complications. She’s… adapting well.”Another pause. Then a subtle shift—the tapping stopped.“Our men watching Miss Gray informed me that she had been spending some time with Leo Anderson and Karen Anderson.” Derek’s gaze flicked to Alex’s hands, then back to his unreadable face. “That’s all.”Silence stretched.Finally, Alexander gave a small nod. Dismissive. Routine.Just as Derek was about to turn to leave, he paused and looked at Alex again. He wasn't sure if he should report this to Alex before deciding to just let him know since his boss was
“What are you doing out here?” Nicholas’s calm voice drifted through the dark.Startled by the sudden voice behind her, Rose snapped out of her thoughts. She turned and blinked. Relief crossed her face when she saw it was just him. “It’s you, cousin.” Nicholas said nothing and just continued staring at Rose like he was waiting for an answer to his question.Realizing what Nicholas stare meant, Rose finally opened her mouth to speak. “ I'm out here because I couldn't sleep,” she said with a tired smile. “I needed air.”Nicholas walked over and sat beside her without a word. The silence between them wasn’t awkward—it was natural.“Didn’t expect to see you here,” she added.“Same,” he said. “I came out to clear my head.”“It's really a nice night to clear your night.” Rose commented, making Nicholas turn to look at her. “You shouldn't be staying out late. It's cold.” Nicholas said which earned him a small smirk from her.“How about you just let me enjoy this night rather than scolding
The pool table sat in the center of the elegant game room, dimly lit by a hanging light fixture. Leo grabbed a cue and tossed one to Rose.“You know the rules, right?” he asked, chalking the tip of his cue.Rose examined the cue stick. “I’ve seen it played.”Julian scoffed from the side. “Great. That means she’s about to somehow destroy you again.”Leo rolled his eyes and racked the balls. “We’ll see about that.”The game began, and as expected, Leo was skilled, landing a few shots with ease.Then Rose took her turn.To everyone's surprise, she wasn’t bad. She adjusted quickly, her precision improving with each shot.Leo stared. “You’ve never played before?”Rose smirked. “Nope.”Julian smiled. “She’s got natural talent.” It might seem like he was having fun watching the kids but he was secretly watching how talented Rose was which impressed him.Karen, watching with amusement, sipped her wine. “Or maybe our Leo just isn’t as good as he thinks.”Leo groaned as Rose sank another ball e
The evening air around the Anderson estate carried a familiar warmth, wrapping the grand halls in a comfortable embrace as the family gathered for dinner. In the spacious yet intimate dining room, the soft clinking of silverware mixed with the low hum of conversation, creating a scene that felt both lively and serene.Rose sat between Leo and Karen, both of whom had been trading witty remarks since the meal began, occasionally drawing Anne into their banter. Across the table, Julian, who had arrived earlier, was deep in an easy conversation with Frank, his tone relaxed and jovial.Only Rose and Nicholas remained quiet.Rose, though reserved, politely responded whenever Karen directed a question her way. Yet her attention drifted now and then to Nicholas, stealing a glance at him. His unexpected appearance at dinner had caught her off guard. She had asked about him earlier in the day, but Karen hadn’t mentioned that he would be joining them tonight.As she pondered, Julian’s teasing vo
Later that evening, the low hum of a sleek black car rolling into the Anderson estate's driveway drew the attention of the maids bustling about the entrance. The chauffeur swiftly stepped out, pulling open the back door with practiced ease.Nicholas stepped out of the car.Tall, with sharp, defined features and his usual cool, unreadable demeanor. Even dressed casually in a fitted black shirt and slacks, there was an undeniable polish and quiet authority about him that made people instinctively straighten their postures.He cast a brief glance across the familiar grounds, indifferent, before striding toward the front door with confident steps.The staff immediately bowed in greeting and hurried to open the doors.From the grand living room, Anne’s voice rang out, “Nicholas, is that you?”“It’s me, Grandma,” Nicholas called back, making his way inside.Karen, just returning from an errand Anne had sent her on, looked up and smiled when she saw her son. “You’re early.”Nicholas shrugged
