Jennifer stood in front of her vanity mirror, adjusting her earrings when her phone buzzed. She picked it up lazily, expecting a message from Kelvin, since they had plans later, but her brows pinched when she saw the sender’s name.

Curious, she unlocked it.

Her manicured fingers trembled as she stared at her phone, eyes wide in disbelief.

"I’m getting married this weekend. Don’t you want to attend?"

She read the message again. A photo of a real, legal marriage certificate was attached beneath.

Her mouth twisted, and with a strangled gasp, she tossed the phone onto the bed like it had burned her.

"She didn’t," Jennifer whispered, shaking her head furiously. "She did not."

She snatched the phone back up and rushed downstairs, heels clicking heavily on the stairs.

“Mom!” she called as she burst into her mother’s room.

The older woman was sitting in front of a mirror, brushing her hair. She turned, frowning as Jennifer held out the phone with trembling fingers.

"You need to see this."

    The soft click of the door drew Aiden’s attention. With a towel wrapped around his waist, he immediately walked over to her.“What did he say?” he asked, curious.A wide smile spread across Alina’s face. “He wants to chase Lorraine, of course.” She let out a light, happy chuckle. “It worked.”Aiden shook his head, but a worried look crossed his face.He gently helped her out of her blouse. “But Jesse… he’s not used to any of this. He’s always been so closed off. I wonder how he even plans to chase her. I just hope Lorraine doesn’t give him too hard of a time.”"Her? Give him a hard time?" Alina laughed. "honey, that young woman is crazily in love with him. I bet she’s been waiting for this. She won’t resist for long."After helping her out of her joggers, Aiden carried her towards the bathroom, “So, outing today?" he asked, changing the subject."Let’s go to the mansion instead," Alina replied, leaning into him. "I miss Mom."Aiden simply hummed in agreement.*****When Lorraine final

    Lorraine’s breath caught, his direct question catching her off-guard. The ointment slipped from her hand and rolled away, completely forgotten.“Jesse,” she whispered. “You can’t just… you can’t call yourself my boyfriend to a stranger, carry me out of there, and then ask me this like you’re inviting me for coffee. My heart can’t handle this back-and-forth. I need something steady. I need to know… why?”He leaned a little closer, his eyes flicking to her lips before returning to hers.“Because I’m an idiot who took too long to see what was right in front of me,” he muttered. “But I don’t want to be that idiot anymore.”The space between them vanished. And this time, it was Lorraine who closed it.She leaned closer and kissed him. It wasn't soft or questioning; it was a desperate, furious transfer of all her confusion, her anger, and the undeniable attraction she'd been staging to be fighting for months. For one breathtaking second, Jesse froze in shock...then he kissed her back, his

    Lorraine didn’t move. How could she after what Jesse had done and said?Her brain was still rebooting from the kiss when she took a shaky step back. Jesse reached out instinctively to pull her closer but she immediately lifted a hand, stopping him."Don’t… touch me." Her voice cracked as she swallowed. Her eyes were still wide with disbelief. "What did you... just do?"He didn’t even blink. "Kissed you."She opened her mouth, closed it, tried again. "Who are you to..."She didn’t even finish before he cut in, his voice annoyingly confident."As of today," he interrupted, completely serious, "right now… your boyfriend."Lorraine’s brain shut down for a full one minute. Boyfriend? Whose? Hers? Since when? Did she accidentally sign a contract with him without knowing? Or was he kidding her?She hadn’t even finished digesting the kiss, and he was already updating her relationship status like he owned the app."I...I...Jesse...what..."Words refused to form in her mouth.But he didn’t give

    At the entrance of the creative department, Lorraine suddenly grabbed Alina’s sleeve and pulled her back a step.“What is it?” Alina asked, raising a brow.“Are you sure you want to start working already?” She whispered, worry in her eyes. “You fainted a few days ago. Shouldn’t you be resting? Won’t this worry Aiden even more?”Alina let out a slow breath. “We have over a hundred design jobs waiting. Everything has to be delivered in two months. We can’t delay.” Then she gave a small smile. “But I promised him I wouldn’t push myself. I’ll keep that promise. I’m only supervising.”Lorraine sighed, still not convinced. “Fine. But… what about that thing you mentioned before? The two-week plan?”Alina let out a quiet laugh. “Let’s move it to the end… after all the designs are done. Less stress, more time. And trust me, two months will fly by. We’ll blink and it’ll be over.” She gently rubbed her belly. “And I want this plan of mine to succeed before I have my babies, you know.”With that,

    After the call with Lorraine, Alina walked back into the room, exhausted but satisfied. Aiden was already sitting on the bed, tablet in hand, finishing up the last of his work. Without saying a word, she climbed onto the bed and leaned her head against his shoulder."Did you know you were incredible today," she murmured sleepily, giving him a lazy thumbs-up. "The way you handled Elise… and Mr. Davidson…" Her voice faded into a tired hum.Aiden exhaled deeply and set his tablet aside. He lifted her hand gently and kissed her knuckles."He almost destroyed everything I’ve worked for my entire life," he said quietly. "And Elise…” His jaw tightened. "She got what she deserves for trying to humiliate you. No man on this planet walks away free after doing that to you."Alina chuckled softly, eyes closing as she relaxed fully into him. But a second later, she pulled back, smiling mischievously."By the way," she whispered, "Lorraine confessed to Jesse."Aiden blinked. "She did?"“Yeah. Why d

    Lorraine stood there for a moment, her fingers fidgeting with the strap of her bag. Then she let out a small breath, one of those breaths people take right before confessing something embarrassing and irreversible.She shifted her weight onto one foot, then the other, as if steadying herself, "Okay," she whispered, "I’m just going to say it before my courage expires." She breath out.Jesse furrowed his brows, waiting."First of all, I’m a very straightforward person. Pain? I don’t hide it. If someone hurts me, I drag them outside and tell them straight to their face.""Outside?""Yes. Outside." She nodded seriously. "Sunlight makes honesty clearer."He opened his mouth, then closed it again.She continued, hands waving in small circles as if stirring the air. "So… I know this might surprise you. Or shock you. Or make you faint. Whatever reaction it might cause. But after that night when I kissed you while I was drunk,” she paused and glared at him, “you haunted me.”“What?""I said yo
