LOGINSarah has had a thing for the multi-billionaire, Vincent Laurent ever since she set her eyes on him on her favorite TV interview show. What she didn’t expect was him becoming her stepfather. But fate had another plan; her mother died and she was left in his care. Just when she thought that her ‘All-time but suppressed obsession’ that she had for him could be unleashed, he got engaged to another woman. Desperate to pull out of the ache she felt, she dangerously sought solace where she wasn’t supposed to. She thought she could play with fire, but never expected to be consumed by it.
View MoreThe tension in the room was almost suffocating. Neither Vincent nor Xander dared to acknowledge each other at first as his men led Vincent in with guns to his head. Xander's men finally withdrew their guns, stepping back but remaining poised for action, their eyes darting between the two brothers. Vincent exhaled slowly and lowered his hands, his gaze never leaving Xander's."Hello, Xander," Vincent finally greeted, his voice measured.Xander tilted his head, his usual slow smirk stretching across his face. "Just when I thought you'd call me brother for once," he mused, feigning mock hurt.Vincent scoffed. "We never had the chance to be brothers, Xander. You say it like we were birthed by the same fathers."Xander nodded, his expression darkening. "Enough with the sentimental crap. No one really cares. Why are you here?""You know why," Vincent said, his tone huskier. "I'm here for Sarah."Xander's smile widened, though it lacked warmth. He looked at Vincent like he had just asked for
Kendra’s breath hitched, her pulse drumming violently in her ears as she crouched behind her seat, her hands gripping the edge of the table. Had she truly heard what she thought she did? Camille was poisoning her father? Dr. Evans was faking his cancer results?Her stomach twisted in rage and horror. She wanted to leap over the table, to throw Camille to the ground and force the truth out of her, to tear that smug expression off her face. But she forced herself to remain still, biting down on her lip so hard it almost bled. She had to think. She had to get out of here before they realized she was listening.“He will be dead soon,” Camille said. The intensity in her voice caused a sharp gasp to escape from Kendra’s lips before she could stop it.Camille’s eyes snapped up. Kendra could feel it. She looked towards them.Her heart seized as Camille’s locked onto her, recognition flashing across her face. For a fraction of a second, Camille sat frozen, then her expression twisted into shee
Kendra couldn't help but notice more tension in the Laurents's building these days. The way Camille disappeared for long hours and came back looking like she was trying hard to appear innocent, the hushed phone calls when she thought no one was listening. It all gnawed at Kendra's instincts. Her father's fiancée had never struck her as the trusting kind, but this secrecy felt different.That evening, Kendra sat in her father's office, scrolling absentmindedly through a set of business reports she was helping with, when Vincent walked in. Kendra slowly looked up at him as a strange feeling settled on her. He was looking at her, a slight frown on his face like he had something to say.Kendra released the report and huffed. "Say it," she ordered."You need to return to Seattle," Vincent replied without preamble.Kendra blinked, caught off guard. "What?" She sat up straight. "Why?"Vincent exhaled heavily and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at the darkening skyline. "I
It was a crisp morning in a private, secluded area of the Panda building. Xander led Sarah to the stables. “Today, I will teach you how to ride a horse,” he had told her before they made their way here. Sarah, who had begun to accept the reality of her new life, hesitated only for a moment before following him. Deep inside, she felt a strange feeling of dread and excitement.The stable was quiet and filled with the earthy scent of horses and hay. Xander mounted a strong, dark stallion after helping Sarah onto it first. As they rode together along a winding track, Sarah tried to relax against his chest, and he peppered her hair with kisses as they rode. The cool breeze brushed against her face, and for a brief moment, she allowed herself to enjoy the simple pleasure of riding.“You are doing well,” Xander commented as he rode with her. “I knew you would do well by my side.” Sarah managed a small smile, though her heart still raced with uncertainty.
