Sawyer Residence

“Dad, you’ve been working so hard these days, always out early and back late.”

Paige offered a warm smile as she gently tugged Mrs. Sawyer closer.

“Mom and I picked out the freshest chicken and garden herbs, then roasted it slowly this morning. You have to try it.”

Her tone was affectionate, thoughtful—just enough to draw Emmet’s attention toward his wife.

Mrs. Sawyer wore a subtle off-the-shoulder dress that revealed her delicate collarbones—graceful, alluring without being overexposed.

Her skin glowed pale and soft, as if faintly scented.

Emmet chuckled in satisfaction. Rarely did he show her this gentle of a smile.

Perhaps because everything had been going smoothly lately, he even reached out and patted the back of her hand on the table.

“All these years… it hasn’t been easy for you either.”

  • Oops! The CEO's Ex is a Secret Genius   What Are You Hiding From Me?

    The car door had already opened.From the center of the convoy, the newest bulletproof vehicle gleamed beneath the lights. As its door swung open, the reflections from the tinted window cut across a side profile so flawless it looked carved from light.Leaning slightly against the doorframe, the man inside looked like something out of a dream—skin pale and clear, nearly translucent under the overhead glow.Nash immediately dropped the thug in his hand and returned to the vehicle’s side.The entire scene was eerily silent. Tension buzzed in the air.Diego’s fingers, as pale and smooth, gripped the car door as he stepped out—calm, unhurried.He had clearly just showered. Damp black hair clung loosely to his forehead. Even his lashes held a faint trace of water.Dressed in a dark ink-colored shirt, tall and poised, he kept his gaze lowered. T

    "Mom? How did it go? Did the key copy work?"Paige had waited anxiously all day for Mrs. Sawyer to come down, not daring to enter Emmet's room without permission. She’d been waiting in the living room since he left for work.It wasn’t until dusk that Mrs. Sawyer finally descended the stairs, radiating satisfaction. Breakfast and lunch had been delivered upstairs—she hadn’t left her room all day.The moment Paige saw her, she nearly jumped with excitement, immediately ordering the servants to leave.Mrs. Sawyer looked glowing tonight, like someone freshly… well-cared for.“Relax! Your mother nearly passed out from exhaustion, but I managed it! I waited half an hour, made sure the scanner showed success, and sealed everything back in place,” she said, patting Paige’s hand proudly before slipping her a box no bigger than a key.Paige grinned ear to ear, as if she already held the world in her han

    Her fingers slid across the bookshelf—nothing.Briella narrowed her eyes slightly, mind whirring.She turned toward the massive desk—easily twice the size of the one in the office—and tapped her fingers against its polished surface with lazy rhythm.The desk was neatly arranged. A few tasteful ornaments, several unassuming documents.She pulled her hands back and shoved them into her coat pockets, tilting her head thoughtfully, lashes low.Then, after a long pause, she moved to the other side of the desk. Her fingers brushed against a specific corner of the wood.With a slight flick of her nails—sharp and precise—the panel shifted.Click.A hidden section revealed itself: a digital screen with a numeric keypad embedded beneath.Briella licked her lips, a faint glimmer of excitement in her eyes. A touch of pink flared at the corners.She stared at the panel for a moment&hellip

    Briella dragged a chair over and sat down, propping her head up with one hand.Her eyes glinted playfully as she pointed at him with a lazy smile."You—do you want to be my student?""Me? Are you talking about me?" Alan blinked in disbelief, first nodding, then shaking his head.“What’s that supposed to mean? You don’t want to?”“No, no, I do! I absolutely do!”Alan flung his book aside, hands flailing excitedly like a child. He looked like he wanted to grab her hand but didn’t dare.“Skye…”“Still calling me Skye? Change that. Call me ‘teacher.’”Briella reached out and took his hand, lips curled into a gentle smile.“Yes, ma’am—Teacher!” Alan beamed. “Does that mean you’ll bring me into the lab now?”“I will. Since I’ve taken you as my student, I’ll

    "Mr. Preston, Miss Winona has arrived."Preston's assistant spoke softly, standing at the door.Preston closed his laptop with a click and nodded. "Let her in."The assistant had just turned to leave when the door swung open on its own, and a clear, confident voice chimed in—"No need, Mr. Preston. I'm already here."Winona Windsor entered with a smile as harmless as an angel’s. Her sapphire blue dress glimmered like a fairytale, making her look like a princess who had just descended from the clouds.The assistant gave her a respectful bow before silently retreating and shutting the door.Preston remained seated but wore a mild smile. “Her Highness the Princess has come all this way—please forgive me for not receiving you personally. Would you like something to drink?”He sounded apologetic, but his eyes betrayed no sincerity.Winona waved a hand lazily and dropped into the nearest chair, gr

    “...I didn’t say anything, alright?” Red Rose rolled her eyes with mock innocence. “Don’t start with me, Austin.”“Girl, your mouth never stops running,” Iron Blade said with his arms crossed, smirking like a devil.Red Rose marched over, heels clicking like a death sentence, and stomped down on Iron Blade’s foot with her six-inch stilettos.Hard.Then she tossed her curls dramatically and snapped, “Mind your own damn business, dumbass.”Austin winced just watching. That looked painful.Iron Blade calmly pulled his foot back, acting like it didn’t hurt one bit.Austin glanced down and caught sight of the veins bulging on Iron Blade’s hand.‘Oh? So he’s pretending it doesn’t hurt. Gotcha.’‘I knew it! No way anyone takes a stiletto like that and walks away smiling.’“Waa
