Mr Kingston, It's Too Late Chapter 61: Choosing Us
The elevator doors opened on the top floor of Kingston Corporation.The entire executive floor went completely silent.Raphael stepped out. He wore a sharp black suit. He looked incredibly well rested. His dark eyes scanned the room, but the usual freezing glare was entirely missing.Ethan was standing by the reception desk. He held a coffee cup in front of his chest like a shield."Good morning," Raphael said.Ethan blinked. He looked around to see if Raphael was talking to someone else."Good morning, boss," Ethan whispered, taking a cautious step back. "You are smiling. Why are you smiling on a Monday?""It is a beautiful day," Raphael walked toward his office. "Bring me the Halcyon reports."Ethan followed him inside like a very confused puppy."The board is terrified of you right now," Ethan said, dropping a blue folder on the large mahogany desk. "They think your good mood is a trick. Davis actually asked me if you were planning to fire everyone before lunch.""I am not firing a
Mr Kingston, It's Too Late Chapter 60: The First Date
The two-week Kingston Holiday went by in an absolute blur.Claire stood in front of the full-length mirror in the master bedroom. She smoothed her hands down the sides of the blood-red silk dress. It was the exact same dress Maya had smuggled into the penthouse two weeks ago. The one Raphael had threatened to never let her take off.The bathroom door clicked open.Raphael walked out, adjusting the cuffs of a sharp, tailored black suit. He stopped dead in his tracks.His hands dropped to his sides. His dark eyes slowly dragged from the hem of the red silk, up the dangerous curve of her waist, to the delicate straps resting on her bare shoulders."You wore the red dress," Raphael said. His voice was instantly an octave lower."I told you I was going to," Claire smiled, turning around to face him. She grabbed a pair of black stilettos. "Do you like it?""I hate it," Raphael stepped closer. His eyes were burning with that familiar, hungry possessiveness. "I hate it because I have to let y
Mr Kingston, It's Too Late Chapter 59: The Pasta Incident
"This is mathematically impossible."Raphael glared down at the sticky, lumpy mess of dough sitting on the expensive marble kitchen island. He was wearing dark sweatpants and a tight black t-shirt. There was a streak of white flour smeared right across his cheek."It is just flour and eggs, Raphael," Claire laughed. She was sitting on a tall barstool, holding a glass of red wine. She looked incredibly relaxed, wearing one of his oversized button-down shirts."It is a trap," Raphael grumbled. He tried to pull his hands away, but the dough stretched and stuck to his fingers like superglue. "I run a billion-dollar empire. I negotiate with hostile foreign investors. I do not understand why this egg refuses to bind with this flour.""You used too much water," Claire pointed out, taking a sip of her wine."The recipe on the tablet said half a cup!""You used a coffee mug, Raphael," Claire smiled, pointing at the massive ceramic mug sitting near the sink. "That is not half a cup."Raphael lo

Ethan stared at the massive stack of blue folders on his desk. He wanted to set them on fire.He was sitting in the Vice President's office of Kingston Corporation. It was 6:00 PM on a Thursday. He was supposed to be at an upscale Italian restaurant right now, drinking expensive wine and making a charming first impression.Instead, he was looking at quarterly budget reports while his billionaire cousin was probably feeding his wife strawberries in bed.Ethan picked up his phone. He let out a long, painful sigh and dialed the number.It rang three times."Hello?" a sweet voice answered."Hey, Vanessa," Ethan said, rubbing his eyes. "It's Ethan. Look, I am so incredibly sorry, but I can't make it tonight."The silence on the other end of the line was freezing."You are canceling," Vanessa said flatly. "Again.""I know, I know! It is terrible," Ethan pleaded, running a hand through his hair. "But we have a massive corporate crisis. And by crisis, I mean the CEO literally abandoned the co
Mr Kingston, It's Too Late Chapter 57: The Kingston Holiday
The morning sun hit the bedroom floor with a bright, unforgiving glare.Claire blinked. Her eyelashes felt incredibly heavy. She tried to shift her leg, but a dull, deep ache immediately spread through her thighs and lower back. She let out a tiny, breathy sigh.Every single muscle in her body felt like jelly. It was not a bad ache. It was a heavy, lazy soreness that made her want to sink right through the mattress and sleep for another ten years.They had not slept. Not until the sun actually started creeping over the city skyline.She was completely naked under the thick white duvet. And she was entirely trapped.Raphael had his good arm wrapped tight around her waist. His broad chest was pressed flush against her bare back. He was fast asleep. His breathing was slow and steady, his warm breath fanning across the sensitive skin of her neck.She closed her eyes again, letting her body sink into the soft cotton sheets. She felt thoroughly, completely exhausted. But for the first time

The hallway outside the boardroom felt entirely different.Just an hour ago, Claire had walked down this plush carpet feeling like she was marching to her own execution. Now, the air felt light. The heavy, suffocating weight that had crushed her chest for the last three years was completely gone.Raphael’s hand was warm and firm around hers. He didn't let go as they walked toward the executive elevators."Raphael! Wait!"The sharp, frantic voice echoed down the hall.Raphael stopped. He let out a slow, exhausted sigh and turned around.Vivian Kingston was hurrying toward them. Her perfect composure was completely shattered. Her designer dress looked a little less intimidating, and her eyes were wide with panic."Raphael, you have to listen to me," Vivian said, stopping a few feet away. She looked nervously at Claire, then back to her son. "I had no idea Sophia forged those papers. You have to believe me. I thought Claire actually filed them.""It doesn't matter what you thought, Mothe

"Am I hallucinating, or did the actual CEO of Ellis Designs just walk through the front doors?"Claire barely had time to take off her sunglasses before her secretary, Maya, was practically hovering around her. Maya was holding a stack of folders, but her jaw was practically on the floor."Close yo

The grandfather clock in the hallway chimed 2:00 AM. Claire sat on the velvet living room sofa, staring at the muted television. The penthouse was massive, perfectly decorated, and entirely too quiet. Look, but don’t touch. Live in it, but definitely don't make a sound. Outside, the rain began t

Claire felt a cold bead of sweat slowly roll down her spine.Raphael wasn’t blinking. His dark eyes searched her face, analyzing every micro-expression like she was a hostile corporate takeover."I'm not lying," she managed to say, praying her voice wouldn't crack. "My eye didn't twitch.""It did,"

"A nursery." Claire muttered, her head still resting between her knees on the cold hospital floor. "He wants to build a nursery."The doctor crouched down beside her, his expression sympathetic but firm. "Mrs. Kingston. Brain trauma is highly unpredictable. Right now, his mind has built a protectiv
