The next day proved to be the most thrilling Melbourne had seen in years. It was like rapture had taken hold, because the city was buzzing with energy that refused to die down.

Something had happened last night, something that turned the world upside down—and everyone knew it.

All the ruckus was simply out of this world!

The internet was in total uproar.

Social media was in total chaos.

Every platform was exploding with posts, videos, and comments. Netizens couldn’t get enough. They kept spilli

  • My Stone-Hearted Billionaire Husband   Chapter 233: Under His Family’s Roof 1

    Episode Playlist - Reckless by Madison BeerJust when Kourtney thought her nerves would flare up in flames, she began to feel calmer, slowly but surely.Because why not?Last time she'd been here, she’d felt like an outsider, but now, after everything that had occurred within the last few weeks since the Silverstone Gala, it felt way different.Warmer. And today, she’d worn a lovely lavender corset dress, that made her look like a Disney princess. They stepped forward, and the family surged towards them. Grandpa Woods quickly enveloped her in a bear hug first, his voice gruff but kind. "Kourtney, my dear! You look radiant. Come to keep this Old man some company?"She laughed, hugging him back, feeling the warmth seep into her. "I’ll try my best, Grandpa.”Funny enough, the old man barely acknowledged Sebastian’s presence as they only nodded silently at each other. It was typical of them as they barely got along. Kourtney always wondered why. She figured she would ask him about the r

    “I was not that bad,” Sebastian protested, though his grin said otherwise
“You were worse!” She bit her lip, remembering that day. The fear. The confusion. The strange pull she’d felt toward this infuriating man even then. Even when he was all tall, big, scary, and intimidating.He was the one with faulty brakes! He was the one who blackmailed an innocent woman!How terrified she’d been. How her hands had shaken when she’d signed the marriage papers.She couldn’t help but giggle at the memory now, though at the time she’d been horrified. “You didn’t even smile. Not once. Just stood there with your arms crossed, all ‘You’ll marry me or face the consequences.’” She dropped her voice low, trying to imitate him.“I do not sound like that.”“You totally do when you’re in CEO mode.”“CEO mode?” He glanced at her, eyes twinkling with mischief. “Is that what we’re calling it?”“That’s what I’m calling it.” Kourtney pouted childishly. “You have two modes, CEO Sebastian who’s all cold and bos

  • My Stone-Hearted Billionaire Husband   Chapter 231: Road Trip

    Sebastian’s sleek black Rolls-Royce glided down the winding Melbourne highway, its engine purring like a contented cat. Kourtney sat in the passenger seat, her fingers tracing the soft leather armrest, stealing glances at the man. Finally, they were on their way to his family’s villa to spend the week. He drove with that effortless confidence, one hand on the wheel, the other resting casually on his thigh. They had both wanted to have a private time together on the way, almost like a road trip and so opted to use his Rolls rather than the Limo where they’d be surrounded by bodyguards.Sebastian looked every bit the powerful billionaire he was, with that sharp jawline that could make her knees weak, and that infuriatingly perfect face that she wanted to both kiss and slap at the same damn time.This was the very same car that had crashed into her life, literally months ago. Kourtney couldn't help but smile at the memory, even if it still made her blood boil a little

    The previews started, bathing them in flickering light. Edwin was hyper-aware of how close they were sitting, how her shoulder occasionally brushed against his when she reached for some popcorn.“This better be good,” Lilian whispered as the opening credits rolled. “I gave up a fancy dinner for this.”“A fancy dinner where you verbally destroyed one of Melbourne’s most prominent heiresses,” Edwin whispered back.“She deserved it.”“She did.”Lilian turned to look at him in the darkness. “You really didn’t mind? That I talked to her like that?”“That was the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.” He was completely sincere.And even in the dim light, he could see her blush. She turned quickly back to the screen, but she was smiling.The movie was a romantic comedy about a woman who gets upgraded to first class on a flight and pretends to be someone she’s not to impress a man. It was light, funny, and exactly what they needed after the disaster at The Sapphire Crown.“Oh God, she’s going to get

  • My Stone-Hearted Billionaire Husband   Chapter 229: Audrey Larson

    Audrey Larson stood five feet away, dressed in a designer gown that probably cost more than a car. Her perfect golden brown hair was swept up in an elaborate style. She was surrounded by her usual entourage, three equally polished friends and two bodyguards in black suits.Her ocean blue eyes swept over Lilian with the precision of a surgeon wielding a scalpel, taking in every detail of the leather jacket, the worn jeans, the casual ponytail.“Eddy,” Audrey repeated, her voice dripping with false sweetness. “I almost didn’t recognize you. I’ve never seen you bring
 someone like this here before.”The air in the restaurant seemed to freeze. Several nearby tables had stopped their conversations to watch, ears perked for drama.Lilian’s hand tightened on Edwin’s arm, but when he glanced at her, her expression was perfectly calm. Dangerously calm.“Audrey,” Edwin said flatly.The woman was heiress to the Larson empire, one of Melbourne's top six families. Tall, pretty, with a smile that

    They were neck and neck through the first turn, Edwin’s Lamborghini hugging the inside line while Julian’s Porsche took the outside. The track curved sharply to the left, straightening out for a long stretch.Edwin pulled ahead by half a car length.“Come on, Jules,” Lilian whispered, fingernails digging into her palms.No!She did not want to go on a dinner date with that man!Not after she'd caught the way he looked at her earlier like a piece of meat to be chewed by a godamn predator.Oh! She'd be damned!He was a sexy motherfucker after all.But then Julian surged forward, his Porsche’s engine screaming as he shifted gears with perfect precision.“Thank God!” She let out a huge sigh of relief.They were even again, racing side by side at speeds that made Lilian’s stomach flip.Another turn. Edwin braked late, almost too late, and took the inside line aggressively. Julian had to back off slightly to avoid a collision.“Oh my God,” Lilian breathed. Her heart was hammering so hard sh

    Despite her raging thoughts filled with doubt and questions, Kathlyn managed to retort, trying to maintain her cool façade."You're lying, Kourtney! You can't just switch off your feelings like that. Brandon used to be your whole world, but now, he's with me. You're merely trying to convince yourself
