Kourtney pulled back, her eyes flicking between them, and she felt a pang in her chest. They were treating her differently already and she could feel her smile faltering. The rest of the office was still clapping, their voices overlapping with praise.

“Kourtney, that gala was unreal! The way you pulled it off? Pure genius,” Jenna, another colleague who used to be among those who always antagonized her said with fake admiration.

“You’re a legend,” added Tom, the IT guy, nodding like he’d just me

    “What I’m doing here is none of your business, Woods.” She replied.And that was all the proof Edwin thought he needed.He guessed she was here with that gentleman from the Silverstone Gala. It had to be it and once again, hearing it from her mouth would shatter every stupid, desperate hope he’d been harboring in his chest.“You're probably here with your boyfriend, ain't you?”Lilian’s eyes flashed with something dangerous. “What boyfriend?”For some reason, she hasn't dated anyone since she graduated from the four walls of high school.“Don’t play dumb, Miss Powell. I saw you at the Silverstone Gala with him.”“Ohh!” She gasped as the realization of where he was driving at sank in.“Yes.” Edwin took a step closer, his voice dropping lower. “The one you were laughing and dancing with. All night long!”For just a second, a tiny, microscopic fraction of a moment, something dark flickered in Edwin’s eyes. Something possessive. Something that looked almost
 obsessive. Like he wanted to l

    As Edwin jogged forward, he felt it
 butterflies, actual, ridiculous, teenager-at-prom butterflies slamming around in his stomach like they were trying to escape.Like fireworks on New Year’s Eve!“What the hell is wrong with me?” He thought.But he couldn’t look away. Neither could she.Several women glanced his way, whispering animatedly behind their hands, but he barely noticed. The noise of Bullock Speedways seemed to fade into the background. The revving engines, the shouting, the music, all of it became white noise compared to the sight of this woman.He froze again, unable to move as they were now only a few feet apart.Around them, there seemed to be a pause. People were staring now, whispers spreading like wildfire through the crowd. “Isn’t that Edwin Woods?”“Who’s the girl?”“Look at the way they’re staring at each other
”Edwin Woods, the untouchable playboy, frozen in place by a woman’s gaze?They could hardly believe it as he was a regular figure there, and they’d ne

    Sebastian didn’t do small gifts. He did grand, over-the-top, make-you-cry gestures. But this box was tiny.“Open it,” he said, voice rough.Kourtney obeyed, lifting the lid. Inside lay a watch, simple, silver band, white face, no diamonds, no sparkle. Just clean lines. It looked like something she’d pick herself.“It’s got a tracker. GPS, heartbeat monitor, panic button. If anyone so much as breathes on you wrong, I’ll know. And I’ll be there before they blink,” the man said, half-bragging.“Sebastian Woods,” she playfully pouted her lips, “you absolute caveman. You want to track me like I’m a lost puppy?”“Damn right,” he growled, pulling her into his lap.Kourtney’s fingers hovered over the watch. “Hubby, it’s
 normal. Like something I’d actually wear without blinding people from space.”He laughed, the sound rumbling in his chest. “Exactly. You’d toss anything shiny into the ocean and call it ‘tacky.’ I pay attention, princess.”He lifted it out, the metal cool against her wrist as

    Kathlyn’s knees wobbled, and she felt the weight of her desperation pressing down on her. She couldn’t go back to Grandma empty-handed. Not when the old woman’s threats still echoed in her ears. Her pride screamed at her to stand tall, to walk out with her head high, but her fear was louder. She needed Kourtney’s mercy, even if it meant humiliating herself.“Kourtney, wait!” she called, her tone frantic. She stumbled forward, her hands outstretched. “I’ll do anything. I’ll kneel, I’ll crawl, please, just let me stay!”Kourtney froze on the staircase, one hand gripping the polished banister. She turned slowly, her emerald eyes narrowing as she looked down at Kathlyn. The disgust on her face was like a slap, sharp and stinging. “Kneel?” she repeated, her voice low and dangerous. “You think groveling like some lizard is going to change anything?Kathlyn’s face burned, her cheeks flushing with shame and fury. She wanted to scream!!!Instead, she sank to her knees, the cold marble biting

    Kathlyn flinched, her thin shoulders hunching. “Kourt
 Sister, can we talk?” Her voice was a shaky whisper, and oh, nothing like the confident sneer Kourtney remembered. She sounded
 desperate.“I don’t want to hear it.”Kathlyn’s eyes darted to the floor, her fingers twisting together. “I know you don’t want to see me,” she said, her voice barely audible. “But can you at least spare me a moment? Please?”Kourtney’s jaw almost dropped. “Please?” Kathlyn didn’t say please. Kathlyn demanded, manipulated, and took. This strange humility, this trembling vulnerability, it was all wrong. Kourtney’s first instinct was to scoff. “She’s faking it,” she thought. “She’s always faking it.”“Just tell me whatever Mom, Dad, and Grandma sent you to say,” she said, rolling her eyes. “I don’t have all day.” Her voice was cold, but inside, her heart was a mess. Part of her wanted to scream, to demand why Kathlyn thought she could just waltz into her home, the home she shared with her husband. An

    Sebastian’s laugh was deep, wicked, and he crossed the room in barely two strides pulling her against him. His hands cupped one of her ass cheeks, squeezing hard as he kissed her, his tongue claiming her mouth with the same intensity he’d fucked her last night. She moaned, her pussy already wet, her body arching into his, betraying how much she wanted him to fuck her again.“Careful, baby,” he murmured against her lips. “Keep talking like that, and we won’t leave this bedroom today.”She giggled, pushing against his chest playfully. “Go finish your work, Mr. Woods. I’ve got packing to do, and we’ve got a whole week to play.”He growled, stealing one more kiss before reluctantly pulling away. “You’re lucky I’ve got a business call in ten minutes,” he said, his eyes promising all kinds of filthy things. “But tonight, you’re mine again.”Kourtney shivered, watching him stroll back to his study, his sweatpants doing nothing to hide the hard outline of his cock. She was his tonight and e

    The next day came quicker than expected for Kourtney. It was Saturday afternoon, and the Woods ladies always hosted a tea party. It was like a compulsory family-friendly tradition, they said.“Who still holds tea parties in the 21st century?” she muttered to herself, shaking her head in disbelief.The

    Kourtney glanced down at her phone, seeing the screen lighting up with her grandmother’s name, and her heart sank. The last thing she wanted was another lecture about family loyalty and unity. She took a deep breath and then tucked the phone back into her pocket, trying to shake off the unease that
