Sabrina couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction in her role as Kenneth's assistant. The job allowed her to get close to her crush. Actually, it was her main purpose in applying for the job but as the days went by, she developed a genuine enthusiasm for her work.However, there was one aspect of her job that brought an even greater sense of joy—Kenneth's mother, Lorraine, seemed to genuinely like her. Lorraine's approval meant a lot to Sabrina because it would be advantageous to her in the future once Kenneth would marry her. Yes, that was her plan; to marry Kenneth and make him her husband. On how to do that, she still had to ask her friend for some ideas.She took pride in the fact that earned Lorraine's respect. Not only did Lorraine's approval boost Sabrina's confidence, but it also created a pleasant and welcoming work environment. Sabrina felt comfortable approaching Lorraine with any questions or concerns, knowing that her opinion would be valued. Lorraine's warm demeanor
"Are you out of your mind?" Lorraine's voice echoed through the room as her disbelief resonated in her words."It's part of the changes, Mom," Kenneth calmly replied, his determination unwavering."Kenneth, no! Why are you being like this?" Lorraine's voice quivered with emotion, her concern evident. “Your Grandfather will not like it! Do you really plan to be on his side?”Seeing his mother on the verge of tears, Kenneth closed the distance between them, enveloping her in a tender embrace. "It's temporary, Mom. I just need to figure something out about myself," he pleaded, desperately hoping she would understand. "Please, Mom?"After a moment of deep contemplation, Lorraine nodded reluctantly. "I'm going to miss you. If I have to continue being nice to that slutty girl, then I will do it.”Kenneth was taken aback when his mother suddenly mentioned his secretary, Sabrina Hart. “Please don’t touch her, Mom. She is the best secretary I have ever had,” Kenneth admitted.“The best? Are yo
Kenneth watched as Sabrina's eyes widened with awe as they stepped into the elegant and upscale restaurant. The dimly lit ambiance, the soft music playing in the background, and the immaculately set tables seemed to captivate her. It was clear to him that it was her first time to eat in a fine dining restaurant.As they were seated at a private table, Kenneth couldn't help but smile at Sabrina's contagious enthusiasm. He knew he had made the right choice by bringing her to this restaurant. It was evident that she appreciated the finer things in life, and he wanted to give her an evening to remember.The waiter approached, presenting them with menus and sharing the specials of the evening.

Her excitement was palpable, and Kenneth found himself becoming even more enchanted by her genuine enthusiasm.When it was time to order, Kenneth observed Sabrina's uncertainty, sensing that she mi
Kenneth's apartment boasted modern amenities and luxurious furnishings. The sleek kitchen, cozy dining area, and two modern bathrooms added to the overall allure of the space. The living room, in particular, seemed designed to accommodate and entertain numerous guests, exuding an air of opulence.Sabrina couldn't help but feel a mix of awe and discomfort as she took in the lavish surroundings. The bedroom, in particular, spoke of wealth, with its elegant furnishings and tasteful decor. She couldn't deny that the apartment showcased Kenneth's affluence, but beneath the surface, doubts began to creep into her mind.Inside the guestroom, Sabrina found herself reflecting on her decision. She had agreed to come into his apartment for a movie but she wasn’t born yesterday. She knew he had something in mind aside from watching a movie with her, and yet, she agreed. She had been imagining this very moment, to be close to him, so instead of being scared and nervous, Sabrina convinced herself t
Kenneth's body was intertwined with Sabrina's when an unexpected visitor barged into the room without warning. The sight of his grandfather, Gabriel McBride, standing at the doorway left Kenneth in a state of shock, and Sabrina flushed with embarrassment as she quickly tried to cover herself.Frozen in disbelief, Kenneth's mind raced to comprehend the situation. How had his usually reserved and strict grandfather managed to walk in on this intimate moment? He could only imagine the disappointment and disapproval etched on Gabriel's face. Kenneth's heart pounded with anxiety as he frantically searched for words to explain the situation.Sabrina attempted to conceal her nakedness especially when her body was still tangled with his body. Kenneth could tell that she wished for an escape or a place to hide from the piercing gaze of his grandfather.Gabriel McBride, a stoic figure known for his composed demeanor, stood in the doorway, and his expression a blend of surprise and disappointmen
The next day, Sabrina found herself caught in a whirlwind. She felt a mixture of confusion, frustration, and a sense of being powerless as she was led from Kenneth's apartment to the opulent mansion belonging to the McBride family.Inside the mansion, Sabrina was greeted by a flurry of activity. Family members and staff scurried about, preparing for the unexpected turn of events. She felt like a pawn in a game she never wanted to play and was swept away by forces beyond her control.Soon, they were on the move again, this time towards the courthouse. Sabrina's heart pounded in her chest as she realized the purpose of their destination. The weight of the situation bore down on her, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of resentment for being thrust into this predicament against her will. She just spent a night with Kenneth, but the following day, she was getting married into their family. If there was one thing that they allowed her to do, it was to invite her friend to attend and wi
A few months ago...Kenneth McBride sulked in his room because he didn't want to face the woman he was going to marry. Kenneth sat in front of his window looking out at the sea breaking against the rocks and the seagulls that circled catching the winds. Kenneth's room was filled with growing darkness, the shades drawn to keep the light out. His dark hair unkempt, tousled over his eyes. His chin stubble scraped his hand as he ran it over his face.In the other room, he could hear his mother arguing with Gabriel McBride regarding his arranged marriage to Claire Beckham. Kenneth just learned about arranged marriage, and just like usual, it was to further their connection in the business world. His older brother, Daniel, had already accepted his fate to marry a woman he didn't meet yet.Kenneth heard that Claire had just arrived in Azura. The woman studied Business Management in another country, just like him. He just returned to the country to assume the vacant position after his brother
Sabrina's spring-inspired tulle gown covered in Chantilly and guipure lace roses from its neckline through its floor-length skirt floats down the corridor of the courthouse as she walked side by side with her friend.When he glanced at her, she looked like someone has died. Her smile was forced, and he could tell that she was not happy. Well, he wasn't happy either. Everything happened too fast. He was almost engaged with Claire Beckham, but fortunately, Claire Beckham announced that his looks were ordinary and she wanted someone more good-looking. Then, there was Isabelle, Claire's cousin, and Daniel's fiancee."Are you ready?" she asked while faking a smile."I don't know, Sabrina," Kenneth replied.After their wedding, Kenneth assumed they would go home right away but they were required to stay a little bit, to take pictures and signed the documents. When he heard how Sabrina's stomach grumbled, he almost laughed, but he resisted to make himself appear as a happy groom.He felt bad
