Adira knew the question was directed at her. She gulped down some water before looking up at the woman.
"Adira, ma'am. Adira Ravenswood." she inclined her head.
"Adira. Pretty name."
Adira felt so relieved that the woman liked her. She had been so scared that she'd get rejected, just like she had been rejected by Lancelot's family.
"Thank you, ma'am" she beamed a smile.
"You're welcome, honey. So, as you must already know, I am Lancelot's mother, and this is my husband," she placed a hand on her husband's shoulder.
"These two titans over here are my sons - Vesper and Finn."
The younger one - Finn - flashed a smile at Adira, while the older one maintained

The sleek black pulled up to the towering building, a man coming quickly to open the backdoor. Adira emerged from the car like a queen, with two men flanking her sides like loyal knights and her secretary following closely behind. Making her way into the building, she could feel all eyes on her, as well as the people whispering her name in awe and admiration. Her designer clothes hugged her clothes in all the right places, and her hair cascaded down her back in glossy waves. Her makeup was perfect, highlighting her features in all the right places, and her jewelries sparkled like stars in the sky.

Jardine had a wide smile on her face as she sat in front of Lancelot, spoon-feeding him. It's been hours since he regained consciousness, and after a thorough checkup by the doctor, they were advised to give him enough food. Jardine's joy knew no bounds. Seeing her Lancelot right in front of her with his eyes opened was a sight she'd prayed for over a year. The love of her life was finally back to her. "Do you like it?" She beamed at him, trying to scoop in more with the spoon. "I sure am," Lancelot smiled. Then she fed him more. His parents were there as well and just watched from the cushion. "It's so good to finally have you back, son. The past nineteen months have been hell for us." Mrs. Winslet chimed in. Lancelot had almost broken down when he was told he had been in a coma for nineteen months. Nineteen months was a whole lot of time, and it hurt him to know he'd missed a lot of things, especially Jardine, who couldn't enjoy the marriage."I know, right?" He lisped. "I'm

Adira woke up earlier to make breakfast. She was still in her silk pajamas when she got into the kitchen and found the chef already there."Good morning, ma'am," he said with an inclination of the head."Good morning, Logan. You're done from here; I want to make breakfast myself."The young chef was shocked and tried protesting against it, but Adira stood her ground and sent him away.She decided to make some huevos rancheros.A small smile played on the corners of her lips as she moved around the kitchen with practiced ease.

She pushed the thought aside with another smile.The sizzling of bacon on the pan and the clanking of utensils against the pots filled the kitchen, and soon, the aroma of her meal filled the entire house.After a while, she was done and called on Logan to have a taste. When he did, he closed his eyes and moaned in ecstasy."Oh, my! Oh, my! This is totally amazing,

Her heels echoed in the air as she pushed open the door to the living room and found her family on the velvet sofas, like they had been waiting for her. She had told them she'd be coming that morning, though. She felt a lump in her throat as she walked in, feeling the weight of their judgmental stares on her skin. She couldn't even look them in the face. "Good morning, Mom. Grandpa, grandma," she uttered and took a seat, facing them. Kalina was the only one absent from the room. "Finally, you decided to come home," her grandmother grumbled. She was an aged but fierce-looking woman. "I'm sorry, Grandma, but I just couldn't leave Lancelot," Jardine mumbled. Kalina came clumping down the stairs immediately. "Oh! Someone is finally home. Hey, big sis," she flashed a sarcastic smile at her, which Jardine ignored. "Hm. You don't look too good. Obviously, looking after Lancelot must'

She studied the man as he approached her, his shoes clacking against the polished floor. He stood tall and imposing, with broad shoulders and chiseled features that would've been handsome if it wasn't for the dark glint in his eyes. He had a Breguet Classique wrist watch on him, which spoke of how rich he was. He wasn't a face Adira had seen before. Turning back to the waitress, Adira asked. "Has someone already paid for this?" Her voice echoed with disapproval. "Uh... not yet, ma'am. But he did ask me to reserve it for him." The waitress replied, a little nervous. At this time, the young man was already standing next to Adira. "So, he hasn't paid yet," Adira rose her brows. "That simply means the sandwich is free to be taken. So, I'm here to pay for it." "I'm afraid it doesn't work that way, Miss," the strange man scoffed. "You haven't paid either. "And since I made the reservation before you, I have every reason to believe it's mine." Adira pivots to face him. "To be frank,

What sort of humiliation was that?Her gaze waned as she looked at Adira who had a smug smile on her face. She felt her heart clench in her chest. Kneeling before her was going to be more than an humiliation. How could she even suggest such a thing?"I'm sorry, but..." she stared downward and scoffed. "Why would you even want me to do that?"Adira gave a subdued eye roll. "Why else? You want my forgiveness, right? So, you should be willing to do anything to get it. Now, kneel before me, and I might give it some consideration."Jardine fisted her hands beside her. Never did she expect life to take such a turn on her.
