LOGINAudrey gave a light chuckle.Really? “You want a relationship? she asked with a faint smile. "I thought you were already engaged to another lady. I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in being your mistress. She rejected him without hesitation.Smith adjusted himself and sat upright on the bed.We broke up, he said quietly. I don't love her. I want something new, I need something real.Audrey looked deep into his eyes. For the first time, she could only see complete honesty in them.I'm still not comfortable around you, she admitted. Talk more about starting a relationship with you.I know you're still hurt because of the past. He lowered his voice. But trust me, Audrey. I never raped you. Yes... we slept together, but…It's okay, Audrey interrupted immediately. I don't want to go down that lane again.Everywhere suddenly became quiet. For the first time in his life, Smith felt truly vulnerable before a woman.Audrey looked away before speaking again.For the sake of my children... I'l
Smith looked straight into Liam's eyes.He could tell that fear was hidden behind them.The little boy was literally begging.Smith slowly knelt beside the bed, moved closely and held Liam's tiny hand carefully. Your mummy is not leaving again, he said softly. I'm going to make sure of that. A weak smile appeared on little Liam's sick face due to his father's words. He looked at his father again. "Daddy...""Yes, son?" Smith replied. "Are you planning on getting married?"The question struck Smith hard. He didn't want to make his son sad again, after seeing a faint smile.He didn't know what to say. Everywhere became suddenly quiet. Audrey lowered her eyes. She was scared of Smith's response. Rick looked away and little Lèa waited for an answer.But none came out. Liam started crying profusely again."No..." he said weakly. "You're lying..."His breathing became uneven again.He began throwing tantrums despite his condition.He cried uncontrollably, kicking the blanket away
Audrey sprang up from the chair together with Smith, and they both ran towards Liam's room.The moment they got there, they were breathless.They found Lèa already sobbing beside the bed while Liam convulsed aggressively. His body shook uncontrollably, and his temperature was very high.The servants stood there, frightened and confused. They had only just gotten to know Liam. They didn't want him to go so soon."Liam!" Audrey cried.She ran straight to the bed and held him tightly as tears streamed down her face."Call the pediatrician immediately! Now!"The heartbreak in her voice filled the room.Smith immediately brought his phone out from his pocket and dialed the pediatrician's number."Please come quickly," he said."Liam is convulsing."It wasn't up to ten minutes before the pediatrician arrived.He quickly attended to Liam.Everyone stood quietly, watching and praying.After a few minutes, the doctor was able to revive him.But his fever was still very high."I need everyone t
Smith felt horrible and didn't want to get too emotional with Audrey."Follow me," he commanded.Audrey felt disappointed by how quickly he ended the conversation, but all she wanted was to see her son. She stood up and quietly followed him.Smith climbed the stairs and stopped in front of Liam's room. He pushed the door open.The moment Audrey saw Liam, her heart melted.She rushed inside without minding Smith.Liam lay weak on the bed with a damp towel placed on his forehead. His body temperature was still very high. He looked too weak to even speak or move.The moment he saw her, a faint smile appeared on his sick face.Audrey could no longer hold herself back. She hurried to him, wrapped him in her arms, and tears streamed down her cheeks."Mummy... why are you crying?" Liam asked softly. "I'm okay."Audrey quickly wiped her tears."It's nothing, my baby. I only missed you... but I'm here now."Liam's tired face suddenly lit up."Does that mean you and Daddy are together?" he aske
Her eyes stayed focused on the sketches in front of him.She noticed the way Smith was staring at her… but decided to ignore it.“The gold detail here gives it a more expensive appearance,” Audrey continued calmly.“Customers are usually attracted to products that look luxurious before they even test the scent itself.”Rick exchanged a glance with Smith quietly. Audrey still understood the business perfectly.Finally, she closed the file gently.“That’s all,” she said softly.Then she returned to her seat calmly.For a few seconds, silence filled the office.Smith leaned back slowly in his chair while staring at the drafts again.Impressed was an understatement.His woman was very talented.And suddenly, the thought of another company using her designs made him angry.“How about we offer you eighty million pounds yearly to continue working for us?” Smith said suddenly.Audrey blinked in surprise.Smith continued calmly.“You’ll work only for Camila's Scent. No other company.”Audrey
Smith stared at her calmly after she finished eating.Her face looked much better now, but her nose was still slightly red from the cold.“Do you have any drugs to take?” he asked calmly.Audrey nodded softly.“Yes.”“Where is it?”She pointed toward the small cabinet close to the kitchen.Smith stood up immediately and walked there.After searching briefly, he found the medicine.Then he took a glass of water and returned to her.“Here,” he said quietly.Audrey collected it from him carefully..She looked away and swallowed the drugs with the water. Smith watched her for a moment. Then a small smile appeared on his face.After eating, Audrey tried to gather the plates.“I’ll do it,” she said softly.Smith ignored her completely and carried the dishes to the kitchen.“You don’t have to do that. “You’re a guest.”“And you’re sick,” he replied calmly without looking at her.Audrey folded her arms stubbornly.“I can wash ordinary plates, Smith.”“I know,” he answered simply. “But tonight
Helen lay awake, staring at the ceiling. The room was dark and cosy. She turned towards Benjamin and placed her hand on his chest. Baby, "you've been distant from me recently. She whispered. He didn't reply to what she said. She got closer, trying to kiss his shoulder. "I just need your touch to
Tony stared at Audrey like she had spoken in foreign language."Am I the only one who heard Smith say you can have custody of the kids for 24 hours?" he asked, confusion thick in his voice. "He said it clearly. So why would he suddenly go back on his word?" Audrey didn't say anything. "What exact
Audrey dragged herself into her house. The door closed softly behind her, the silence was louder than any noise.She dropped her bag and it fell to the floor. She leaned against the wall, her body sliding down until she landed on the cold tiles. Her tears came through again.She cried like somethin
"Don't lose them," Smith snapped into the phone. "Send me the location ASAP. I'm already on my way." He ended the call without waiting for a response. Smith didn't bother to check if Evelyn had left the office. Her presence never mattered to him. What mattered the most is his children. Audrey wa
