    The grand ballroom of the Shangri-La was a blinding sea of flashing camera lenses, crystal chandeliers, and low, rhythmic high-society chatter.I kept my arm looped securely through Craig’s, my fingers gripping the fine wool of his tailored tuxedo jacket to anchor my trembling posture.My four-inch stilettos clicked smoothly against the polished marble as we navigated the perimeter of the ballroom, cutting through the crowd under the predatory gaze of the corporate board members and the estate lawyers. Every single lens in the venue was trained directly onto our faces, tracking the visual metrics of our contract.We were officially executing our first high-profile public appearance under the seven-year strategic layout. "Keep your posture perfectly loose, Daph," Craig murmured smoothly, his lips barely moving as he flashed a brilliant, adoring smile toward a prominent lifestyle photographer. He leaned down, his face within inches of my curls, masterfully projecting an aura of inten

  • LOVE TRIANGLE   CHAPTER 67

    DAPHNE POV The grandfather clock in the foyer struck 7:00 AM, its steady, mechanical ticking kept time like a metronome counting down. The morning sun filtered through the panoramic glass walls of the dining pavilion, casting long, sharp shadows across the mahogany table. There was no clinical distance separating our perimeters today. Cara sat directly to my left, her charcoal corporate suit jacket tossed over the back of her chair, while Craig occupied the head of the table. In the dead center of the table layout, resting right next to a fresh pot of black coffee, sat a yellow legal pad and a heavy fountain pen. We were officially opening the first joint strategic meeting of our seven-year performance. "Let’s map out the foundational data first," Craig initiated, his voice dropping into a low, clinical pitch as he uncapped the pen. He drew a sharp line down the center of the paper. "We have exactly eighty-four months left before the twins hit the age milestone req

    CARA WHITE POV The raw, electric warmth of our lips meeting in that deep, suffocatingly true kiss felt like the first real breath I had drawn in three years. But the moment our mouths parted, the cold, clinical shadow of our reality rushed right back into the master bedroom. The contract terms were still ticking. The illusion of a clean, immediate fairytale ending violently dissolved against the stark metrics of my father’s last will. "Seven years," Daphne whispered softly, her green eyes locked onto mine as she carefully adjusted the tiny, sleeping infants against her chest. Her voice carried a heavy, sobering weight that made my throat instantly tighten. "We still have seven long, exhausting years left on the clock, Cara. The board and the estate lawyers are going to track every single move this family makes until the twins reach the milestone required by the inheritance clause." A ragged sigh escaped my lips as I reached down, my fingers gently tracing the identical, pri

  • LOVE TRIANGLE   CHAPTER 65

    The adrenaline tore through my veins like wildfire as I slammed my foot onto the accelerator, forcing the sports car to its absolute mechanical limits down the winding residential boulevard. The pavement blurred into a violent streak of grey beneath my tires. My heart was slamming so hard against my ribs it felt like it would break through my chest. The truth reeled through my brain on a permanent, dizzying loop. She never slept with him. The twins were an IVF creation. She moved into his quarters strictly to protect my brand from my father’s lawyers. Every single piece of the toxic, monstrous ice age I had subjected her to was a catastrophic miscalculation. I had branded her a manipulative liar when she had been quietly bleeding through a near-fatal hemorrhage across the globe strictly to save my dream from the fire. The luxury brakes screamed in agony as I violently pulled the car into the mansion’s gravel roundabout, shifting into park before the tires could even st

  • LOVE TRIANGLE   CHAPTER 64

    CARA WHITE POV The digital clock face embedded in the glass wall of my corner office swept smoothly to 1:00 PM. Kazzy announced that the regional logistics plan for the Visayas branches was finalized, her sharp, clinical tone cutting through the ambient air-conditioning noise. She slid a glossy marketing blueprint across the marble conference table. "All we need is your signature on the third-party distribution clause, Cara, and the entire national launch is legally ready for production." "Pass me the fountain pen," I said flatly, my voice emotionless. I drew the heavy document closer, refusing to let my mind wander back to this morning's dining table scene. For the past five hours, I had been deeply immersed in supply-chain data, relying on my brand's infrastructure to drown out the memory of Daphne’s tearful, green eyes. I had to maintain the mask. The business was the only anchor I had left to survive the wreckage of my personal life. SLAM! The heavy double doors o

  • LOVE TRIANGLE   CHAPTER 63

    The grandfather clock in the foyer struck 8:00 AM, its heavy, rhythmic ticking vibrating through the quiet corridors of the mansion. I sat rigidly at the expansive mahogany dining table, my fingers tightly gripping a porcelain coffee cup as I stared blindly at the untouched breakfast spread Lora had set out. My nerves were a chaotic wreck, and my heart was hammering an erratic, suffocating cadence against my ribs. Click. The sharp, authoritative echo of designer heels striking the marble floorboards violently shattered the silence of the pavilion. I froze, the oxygen completely leaving my lungs as Cara stepped into the morning light. She looked staggeringly, ruthlessly beautiful. She had completely shed the soft, vulnerable look from the highway, emerging dressed in a flawless, sharp charcoal-grey corporate power suit that framed her statuesque silhouette with an absolute, unyielding precision. Her long blonde hair was swept back into a sleek, immaculate low bun, and her make

    Everything went according to my plan. Craig and Eroz did get back together. The four of us were happy, laughing when we arrived home. We came from a dinner in a prestigious restaurant and watched the gigs of a popular band in the country. We did a lot of things throughout the day, and I witnessed ho

    "Hey! Stop drinking," I was already tipsy or perhaps drunk when Cara decided to show up and join us. Just a while ago, Zammy was the one sitting beside me. Now it was Cara who's being a pain in the ass. As usual, Cara being Cara. "What's your problem?" Slightly, I raised my voice. I'm still in th

    WHAT A SMALL WORLD. Little did I realize Zekiel Arhon Mondrade is Cara's ex-boyfriend's younger brother. I already confirmed when I asked Zekiel. He even got inquisitive about how I knew his brother. I just came up with an excuse and made up a sort of story. Now I am in the urge to know why Cara and

    It took me a while before I finally gave her the privacy. If I did not have to change clothes, I may have stayed with her. When I was already in my room, I began to remove my accessories and followed with my outfit before I wore my flower-pink robe. Looking at the mirror, the moment I had with Craig
