"Sir,"

Liam stepped half a pace forward. His tone was sincere, weighted to the point of gravity.

"I was indeed in that area yesterday. But I swear on my family's honor--I had no reason to harm Bruno, let alone flee the scene after hitting someone. If I did it, I would never evade responsibility. If I didn't, then even if so-called evidence is placed right in front of me, I will not accept this stain on my name. Does what you see always equal the truth? In this day and age, there are far too man

  • Dumped Her Ex, Married A Secret Billionaire   A Promise for Life

    Without another word, Cecilia brushed past Sid and pushed the office door open.The scene inside unfolded instantly before her.First, she spotted Beck.Then Nick seated beside him.Next came Robin.And finally--at the far end--Todd, hunched over with his shoulders curled, clearly trying not to be seen.The atmosphere in the office was... strange.Awkward.Like a group of people caught red-handed doing something they shouldn't have.Liam rose immediately when he saw her and strode over."What brings you here?"Cecilia stepped around him and scanned the room again, slowly and deliberately."Why are so many powerful CEOs skipping work to hang out in your office?" she asked coolly. "Don't tell me this is just a reunion."Beck, as expressionless as ever, stood and slipped his hands into his pockets."I've got things to handle at the company. I'll be going."Nick stood as well."Same here. Something urgent at home."Robin, unable to come up with an excuse, simply stood and followed them to

    Moonlight filtered through the half-drawn curtains, swaying gently in the night breeze.Bzzz... bzzz...The phone on the nightstand suddenly vibrated in the silence.Liam reacted instinctively. He grabbed the phone, frowned at the screen, and hung up without hesitation."Whose call is it?" Cecilia stirred, half awake, glancing at the number in his hand."It's nothing. Don't worry about it."He powered the phone off immediately and pulled her back into his arms, gently stroking her hair."Go back to sleep."Still drowsy, Cecilia drifted off again within seconds.***Sunlight streamed through the curtains the next morning.Cecilia jolted awake, disoriented for a moment.Was it morning? Afternoon? Had another day already passed?Knock, knock.The nanny entered with a glass of milk."Mr. Sinclair asked me to bring this to you as soon as you woke up."Cecilia glanced at the empty spot beside her on the bed and rubbed her temple sleepily."Where is he?""He left early for the office. He sai

    Watching Cecilia disappear inside the house, Lennon pulled a cigarette from his pocket and lit it."Since you've already dug everything up," he said, exhaling a slow stream of smoke, "there's no point hiding it anymore. I have been sabotaging the Sinclair family's defense contracts--and yes, it was intentional.""Why?" Liam's voice sharpened instantly. "Cecilia married into the Sinclair family. Why would you tear down the very foundation supporting her?"Lennon took another drag."Someone paid me to. In my line of work, when there's a contract, you follow through. That's the rule.""Who are you, really?" Liam watched him carefully.He had investigated Lennon more than once over the years, but his records in the U.S. ended at sixteen. Everything after that--especially his years in Europe--had vanished. Different names, different identities. Nothing traceable."Relax," Lennon said calmly, flicking ash to the ground. "I'd never do anything that would truly hurt Cecilia. Some things are m

    The moment they stepped out of the hospital room, hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor.A tall figure strode toward them, radiating pure fury.The instant Cecilia saw who it was, she instinctively looked away, avoiding his gaze.Lennon stopped in front of them, breathing hard. His sharp eyes locked onto her."Why are you avoiding me? If you know you messed up, stand still and face me."Cecilia forced a guilty smile. "Okay... I messed up.""If I hadn't heard about this myself, were you planning to keep it from me forever?" His voice simmered with anger."I only just woke up--""I'm taking over MT Group for now. You're staying home and resting. No arguments." Lennon glanced around the empty hospital room, his frown deepening. "Where the hell is Liam? Don't tell me he's not here.""He's on a business trip. He doesn't know yet," Cecilia hurried to explain."At a time like this he's overseas?" Lennon rolled up his sleeves, already looking ready to start a fight as he pulled out his p

    The sharp scent of disinfectant filled the hospital corridors.Vicky sat on a hard plastic chair, clutching the medical report in her hands. Her expression was so conflicted it was impossible to tell whether she wanted to laugh or cry.She stared at the thin sheet of paper as if it didn't contain test results--but some kind of cosmic joke.The elevator doors slid open. Robin strode out quickly and spotted her at once.He hurried over and sat beside her, worry in his voice."How is it? Is it serious?"Vicky didn't answer. She simply handed him the report.Robin scanned it. The tension on his face froze--then shifted into a helpless smile."Well... there goes any chance of keeping this quiet.""The problem is Liam doesn't get back until tomorrow," Vicky said, rubbing her temples. "If we tell him now, he'll catch the first flight home tonight."Robin placed the report on his knee and thought for a moment."Maybe we wait until Cecilia wakes up and let her decide what she wants to do?""Th

    At Sinclair Manor, the household staff caught sight of the chaos inside the playroom and quietly chose to pretend they'd seen nothing. One by one, they slipped away without a word.Bill sat on a small sofa, watching the tense standoff between the siblings. With exaggerated maturity, he declared,"This round goes to Nora."Noah smirked and triumphantly used a marker to draw two long black eyebrows across Nora's face.Nora puffed out her cheeks and stared seriously at the four cups on the floor."My turn.""Hide it wherever," Noah said, settling beside her as he waited for her to switch the marble.Nora handed him the blindfold."Put it on."Noah slipped it over his eyes without a second thought."Go ahead.""All done." Nora pointed at the cups. "Your guess."Noah dropped onto the carpet and leaned close to the four identical cups, eyes wide as lasers, as if he could somehow see through them and spot the hidden glass marble.He pointed to the second cup."Here?"Nora immediately grabbed
