Kai said nothing, his gaze following her until she disappeared into the passenger seat. "Wedding? I had no idea I was getting married." Henry teased.Kai exhaled sharply, his icy-blue eyes narrowing. "Why the fuck are you here?" his voice was devoid of any semblance of warmth, but his gaze fixed on Danielโs car driving away.Kai's office door shuts, and he walks to his chair, sitting exhaustedly. "What did you say?" He asked. "Your father Kai, he wants you to return to London... I know you aren't on the same page with your stepmother, but I think you should be there. I also heard that your uncle is writing his will..." "I don't care. I can't leave, I'm close to understanding Tiffany, I can't leave." "Are you sure you're okay? If you were going to go through all these stress why then divorce her? Kate is going to have it all, isn't that why you hired her in the first place?" Kai shot him a glare, his voice low and controlled. "I know, Henry. I know all of it." He exhaled deeply, g
Tiffany crossed her arms, flashing him her most dazzling smile. "Why canโt it be both?" she replied, her voice sweet, flashing pleasant smile as if she was using her beauty to lure him, perhaps charm him indeed. Tiffany crossed her arms, her lips curving into a bright smile that sparkled with just the right amount of charm. "Why not both?" she said softly, her voice sweet but with a playful edge, as if daring him to argue.Kai chuckled, shaking his head. "It's almost midnight, Tiff. Come on, let me take you home. We can figure it all out in the morning.""No!" Tiffany blurted, her words tumbling out in a rush. "I canโt go home yet! I need to sort this out before eight, and my delivery company isnโt answering me. They took my deposit, Kai! But you can help me, right? Please?"Kai held up a hand, his calm voice steadying her. "Breathe, Tiffany. Slow down. You need a delivery company? Iโve got it covered. My guys will be here first thing tomorrow morning. But for now, letโs go home so w
AN HOUR BEFORE TIFFANYโS KNOCKKai barely got two hours of sleep before his alarm blared, dragging him back to reality. He groaned, rubbing his tired eyes, but there was no time to waste. Today was important. Tiffany was coming.The thought alone sent an electric pulse through his veins, jolting him awake.After a quick cold shower. Kai stood in front of his walk-in closet, scanning for the perfect outfit. He didnโt want to look like he was trying too hard, but he also wanted to make an impression. Something simple, sharp, and devastatingly effective.His hand moved instinctively, pulling out a fitted black polo shirt. He slipped it on, the fabric hugging his toned frame perfectly, accentuating his broad shoulders and muscular arms. His reflection smirked back at him in approval.Next, he chose a pair of tailored white shorts, balancing sharp sophistication with casual confidence. They fit just right but not too tight, but enough to hint at his strong legs.Kai walked to his dresser,
Halfway through their discussion, a voice rang out from the living room. "Kai darling, your wife is here!" Ameliaโs tone was sugary, sweet, and laced with venom.Tiffany froze in place, her breath catching in her throat. Her feet instinctively turned to leave, the weight of that single sentence crashing over her like a wave. But before she could slip away, the door to Kaiโs office swung open, and he rushed out, grabbing her hand firmly.The warmth of his touch sent shivers up her arm, but she quickly masked her reaction, her face neutral. The door clicked shut behind him, sealing them off from Ameliaโs voice."Tiffany," Kai started, his lips curling into a soft, disarming smile, though tension flickered in his icy-blue eyes. He was scrambling for an explanation, but the truth loomed heavy in his mind. *Tell her the truth. Itโs the only way to fix this.* He swallowed hard, steeling himself."I didnโt know you had company," Tiffany said, her voice steady but distant. "I can come back la
Tiffany arrived at the police station, stormed out of Kaiโs car, and rushed in. As she got in, she found Ginna, her supposed partner who was supposed to help deliver her goods. Ginna was a friend back in the days when she was a stripper. How could she have done this to her? Scammed her? Tiffany approached carefully. As she took each step, Ginna's face was slowly being revealed. Finally, she stood beside her. "Ginna?" She called with disbelief. Ginna looked up at her. Shock rushed through her veins, seeing Tiffany with tear-filled eyes looking down at her. Ginna froze, almost as if she had seen a ghost. "Tiffany, what are you doing here?" The officer looked up at Tiffany. "Miss Halton?" But Tiffanyโs gaze was burning, staring at Ginna. "This isn't what you thinkโ" "I called her. She's a victim, too." "Give me my money!" An elderly woman cried. Tiffany scoffed, looking around. She wasn't the only victim, but what surprised her was the old woman she had also scammed. Ginna bare
Before she could get a grasp of what was wrong. Kai moved, her steps closing the distance between them in an instant. One hand slid to the back of her head, his fingers threading through her hair with a grip that pulled her heartstrings. The other found her waist, pulling her to him with a force that made her tremble like a leaf.Her lips crashed into his, the kiss anything but gentle. It was consuming, desperate, possessive. Her chest tightened as she struggled to keep up, to even think. He kissed him like she was trying to prove something like she was claiming something all her own. His grip on her didnโt waver, and for a moment, it felt like the whole room had disappeared. But as Tiffanyโs breath came faster, her chest heaved against his. Gosh, he wasn't giving her time to think or catch her breath. Tiffany stared at Kai in disbelief, but resistance faded with each second. Her arms slipped around his neck, her body pressing closer, giving in inch by inch.Kaiโs grip tightened as
"I'm sorry if I can't stay away from you," Kai's voice echoed with longing. "You weren't picking up my calls, love." "Yeah? I was busy at the mall with Noami," Tiffany replied, her tone casual, but her heart raced at the sound of his voice. Ever since she made that silly confession. Kai wasn't holding back. There were flowers and a series of text messages, and even his visit had become almost unbearable, especially to Noami. "Do you need me to pick you up?" He offered, his voice filled with concern. But was it really a concern? "Aren't you busy?" she asked, hesitating. "It's fine, really. We already got a taxi," she added quickly, glancing around the taxi, making sure she didn't miss her stop. "Just call me when youโre home, baby," Kai said, his tone more insistent this time. Tiffany hummed, agreeing before she hung up. She took a deep breath, turning to glance at Noami, who sat beside her. But Noami remained silent, a playful smirk dancing on her lips as her eyes sparkled with
Tiffany sighed, slouching into the couch" Kai? He'd been busy with work. It's been difficult. I don't want to bother him." "So you're going to go alone?" "What's there? I haven't I been going alone to clubs?" "That was when you didn't have an obsessive lover," Noami slouched onto the couch, facing her with a smile. "I love seeing you happy." Tiffany's gaze held hers. A shy smile brushed her lips, and she lowered her head. "We are not getting emotional!" She snapped, rolling her eyes as she looked away. "Anyway!" Noamiโs voice echoed. "I saw a gown at the mall the other day. I need it. Like, it's a need! Besides, you should also get something too..."Kai's phone rattled on the table, drawing the attention of everyone in the meeting to him. He quietly picked it up, signalling them to continue before staring to see who had left the message. As he stared at his phone, a wide smile itched his face. It was Tiffanyโs message. Of course, it was a message he had been waiting for all day.
Tiffany scrambled away, her chest heaving as they subdued Kate. But Kateโs voice rose, sharp and mocking as she sneered at Tiffany. "You think youโre special? You think Kai loves you? Youโre nothing but a means to an end. Youโll never carry the Winson heir. Kai would never let you! You're just some whore he picked at the club!" The words struck Tiffany like a physical blow. Her blood ran cold. Her periodโฆ it hadnโt come. Her chest tightened as realization crashed over her. In a sudden haze, She bolted up the stairs, her mind spinning, ignoring Audreyโs calls as she raced up the stairs. Her breaths came fast, unsteady. Her heart pounded as she grabbed her phone from the dresser, yanking open her calendar app. She scrolled back counting the days. Twenty-six days. Twenty-six days late. Panic clawed at her as she stared at her phone and her hands trembled, gripping the edge of the vanity. Slowly, she sat at the edge of the bed with her gaze locked on the screen. "Tiffanyโฆ" Kaiโs voice
Three days later, Tiffany sat at her desk, her hands clumsily shuffling through papers as her head felt like a lead weight, her stomach twisting and turning like a storm at sea. The morning had been relentless, emails, reports, deadlines but none of those could distract her from the growing unease that crawled through her body. Her vision blurred slightly as she glanced at Noami and Elle who were going through their weekly reports. Their voices seemed muffled and distant like she was underwater. Tiffany blinked hard, trying to focus, but the world only spun faster. The desk beneath her hands felt too far away."Guys, letโs take a break," she whispered, her voice so soft. Her exhaustion was palpable, weighing down her words.Noami looked up sharply, her brow furrowing in concern. "Tiffany, are you okay? You donโt look too good."Tiffany forced her lips into a weak smile. Her hand trembled as she reached for her water bottle, the cool plastic grounding her momentarily. She took a sip,
"Going down on me," he said, his tone firm but laced with vulnerability. His eyes met hers, dark and intense. "I donโt want it." Her breath stilled, confusion flickering across her face. "Why?" His jaw tightened, his hands gripping her waist a little harder before loosening again. He leaned in. "Because I might lose control," he said. "And if I lose it with you like thatโฆ I donโt know if I can stop." The sheets were a mess twisted and pushed low on the bed, their bodies tangled in a fevered knot of heat. Tiffanyโs back arched and her skin flush against Kaiโs as he hovered over her, their mouths fused in a breathless, consuming kiss. Her fingers twisted into his hair, pulling him closer, while her other hand gripped the hard line of his back. She felt every ripple of muscle as he moved in a slow motion and each motion sent a wave of fire through her spine. Kai groaned into her mouth, his lips moving with hers desperately, like he couldnโt get enough of her. His palms wrapped
Tiffany shook her head. "No, thank you." She disappeared into the bedroom, closing the door gently behind her. The moment she was alone, she let out a long sigh, her shoulders slumping. She undressed quickly, stepping into the shower. The warm water cascaded over her, washing away the stress of the day. But the heavy feeling in her chest lingered. Once finished, she slipped into a silk robe, the fabric cool and smooth against her skin. She caught her reflection in the mirror, her fingers brushing against the neckline of the robe. It was new but she knew he wouldnโt be able to resist it. But as excitement flickered in her chest, it was quickly doused by a wave of uncertainty. He still wasnโt home. Suddenly, voices echoed from upstairs, muffled but unmistakably loud. Tiffany froze, her heart thudding. Her breath hitched as she recognized the voice. It was Kaiโs. But she had never heard him yell like this before. "What do you mean you canโt fucking find Kate?!" Kaiโs voice boomed, fi
Tiffany approached, her heels clicking softly against the ground. She stopped just short of the pile, clutching the strap of her bag nervously. Kaiโs gaze locking onto hers, his arms crossing over his chest as he studied her."What? Youโre moving in?" he asked, his voice low, tinged with disbelief.Tiffany shrugged, trying for nonchalance, though her heart raced under his intense scrutiny. "You asked me to. I know I didnโt tell youโ"But before she could finish, his lips were on hers. The kiss was sudden, stealing the air from her lungs and the words from her tongue. It silenced everything. His breath was warm against her lips. "What are you saying? What I own is yours already. You donโt need any permission to do anything."Her cheeks flushed instantly. A smile broke through her lips as she threw her arms around his neck, burying her face against him. "Gosh, Iโve been waiting for this," he whispered. Days later, Tiffany stood in her boutique, adjusting the sleeve of a mannequin for
The reception was a vision of soft candlelight and swaying greenery. Tiffany found herself swept into the rhythm of the evening, laughing and sipping champagne. Then DJโs voice rang out over the speakers."And now, ladies and gentlemen, itโs time for the bride and groomโs first dance."The room was hushed as Allison and Henry took centre stage. Tiffany could feel the anticipation thrumming in her chest, an energy that seemed to ripple through the crowd. Henry extended his hand toward Allison, his smile soft, and she placed her fingers in his, her cheeks tinted with a delicate blush.The music started a slow, romantic tune that wrapped itself around the couple like a gentle embrace. They moved together effortlessly, the sway of their bodies in perfect harmony, their eyes never leaving each other.Tiffany watched, her heart unexpectedly tight in her chest. She glanced toward Kai, who stood a few feet away, his hands in his pockets. His gaze was fixed on solely her like she was the only
The door creaked open with a low, lazy groan.Kai stepped inside, already dressed in a sharp black suit that hugged his tall frame perfectly, a slim black tie knotted at his throat. His dark eyes swept across the room, taking in the organized chaos. Makeup brushes scattered across a vanity. Curling irons still warm, makeup bottles open and half-used. The soft scent of hairspray and perfume hung in the air.And there, right in the center of it all, sat Tiffany.She was perched on a stool in front of the mirror, her legs crossed, laughing lightly as Kasey, her stylist, dabbed a final touch of highlighter along her cheekbones. Her skin glowed under the soft lights, a delicate shimmer kissing the curves of her face. Her hair tumbled down her back in soft, loose curls, some strands pinned slightly away from her face.Tiffany wasnโt dressed yet just sitting there in simple black lace underwear, a matching bra and panties that clung to her flawless skin. She looked effortless beautiful all a
He groaned, his forehead pressing to the back of her shoulder, his breath hot against her damp skin. He was losing himself in her, drowning in the way she gave him everything, her body, her voice, her soul. She was his, utterly. "Tiffany... I want you toโ" He whimpered, his eyes closed deeply.Tiffany shook violently beneath him, her body still panting his name like a prayer. He was trembling. His teeth grazing her shoulders as her release left him wrecked and vulnerable. It was too much for him. He followed her over the edge, spilling himself deep inside her, his entire body shuddering as he let go.The room fell into silence, except for the sound of their ragged breathing. Hours later, the sheets twisted around their bare bodies. They were still damp from the shower they had earlier. Kai lay stretched out on his back, his chest rising and falling heavily. One arm was loosely wrapped around Tiffany, his fingers brushing absently against her skin, keeping her close. She rested ag
"Now," he growled, grabbing a fistful of her hair and tilting her head back. "Be a good girl and clean your mess properly."Tiffany whimpered, her thighs clenching together as she opened her mouth wider, offering herself completely to him.Kaiโs fingers tightened in her hair, the sharp sting making Tiffanyโs breath hitch. Her heart hammered in her chest, but she opened wider. So obedient and desperate for the taste of him."Thatโs it," he murmured approvingly, guiding his cock between her lips.The moment she wrapped her mouth around him, Kai let out a guttural sound. A raw, primal mix of a growl and a moan that seemed to reverberate through his entire body. His hips rolled forward, unthinking, desperate, forcing more of himself into her warm, wet mouth. Pleasure shuddered through him, his body betraying the control he always prided himself on.Tiffanyโs tongue swirled instinctively, tasting herself mingled with him, the sheer intimacy of it making her heart race. The weight of him o
