Immediately she walked into the office, Spencer lifted his gaze from the laptop he was working on.

"Took you long enough," he closed his laptop and leaned back in the chair, relaxed like he had all day.

"Did you do it? Did you have something to do with Harry's misfortune?" she snapped.

Spencer chuckled, watching her with a calculated expression. "That pretty mouth of yours could be useful for things other than accusing me all day."

Monica's face twisted instantly. "You think I don’t know? I rejected your selfish offer, and now you want to take it out on Manager Harry? He’s a good man."

"I didn’t do anything," he scoffed. "Don’t look at me like that. You should ask your husband."

"What are you talking about?" Her voice wavered. She hated being in the dark with him, hated how confident he always looked when she didn’t know something.

"Liam is making sure that all the brands and companies won’t work with you. He’s making sure you get rejected."

She shook her head, stepping back. "

    Monica fell on the bed after dropping the contract Spencer gave her on the bed. She was still skeptical about signing it. Her phone rang and she picked it up. "Hello Manager Harry?" She called. "I don't know how you did it, but everything is fine now." "Really?" she asked. "I made some findings and realized that your husband is behind this. I think it's a warning," Manager Harry said. Monica nodded as the call ended. He was doing all of this for Brie. She picked up her phone and contacted her lawyer and, after that, she glanced at the contract between her and Mo's Fashion Empire and, without a second thought, she signed the contract. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Manager Harry. I have signed the contract with the Mo's Fashion Empire. She was done playing soft, "Game on, Liam." She murmured. --- The next day, Monica was accompanied by Manager Harry to the Mo's Fashion Empire. Immediately she reached the lobby, her expression dampened as her eyes landed on Angel

    Spencer stared down at her. He couldn't believe the words that left her lips. He took off his hat and mask. She was now clouded with hatred. Her dress had risen, exposing her thighs. "Did you change your mind? I thought you wanted to marry me. I'm giving myself to you now." Tears pooled into her eyes as she struggled to hold her emotions. Liam was going to destroy everything she held dear all because he loved Brie, who wasn't even her biological sister. Spencer stood from his seat and walked to the counter and poured a glass of wine. "You don't know what you are saying, you are just blinded by hatred." "I know what I want, and I want Liam to suffer for everything I have lost." Spencer took a drink from the glass of wine, "You need to go home and think things through." "I don't want to think anything through anymore," she snapped. Spencer poured more wine into the glass and drowned it. "Trust me, you need to think it through." Monica stomped to him and snatched the glass of wine

    Monica’s heart pounded as she dashed into the restroom. She gripped the edges of the sink, her eyes locked on her reflection. Water splashed against her face, but it couldn’t wash away the heat still clinging to her lips. What did I do? He’s Liam’s brother… She whispered the words like a prayer, a punishment. Again and again. She shoved her damp hair back and took a shaky breath before leaving the bathroom, but the memory of his kiss haunted her—warm, consuming, wrong. So wrong. By the time she reached the conference room, eyes turned toward her. She muttered a quiet apology and hurried to an empty seat, ignoring the curious looks. The CEO’s chair was turned backward again—like yesterday—but this time, she knew who sat there. Spencer. Her chest pulled tight. The air felt different now. “We’ve decided to use both Monica Banks and Angel White as our primary models,” one of the board members announced. Monica’s brows furrowed. She looked across the table and met Angel’s smug, vict

    Monica couldn't help but notice how quickly his expression changed. He moved away, and she suddenly felt empty but still walked closely behind him."Guess I hit a nerve, ex-lovers dress?" She rolled her eyes.He took off his watch and dropped it on the desk. "We have a lot of designers at the company, Monica. I work differently. I'm not sure if you will like it." He leaned against the desk, and she slowly walked towards him."What do you mean?" The MonaLisa collections were different. It wasn't just a dress, it looked like a crafted story. "Heartbreak? Someone broke your heart, and you designed the dress?"He shifted his gaze and chuckled, "Kitten! C'mon, you should have done better. Do you think someone could break my heart? I was disappointed with her bed skills," he concluded.He liked seeing her eyes change as she tried to figure him out. Her obvious dissatisfaction with his cockiness. For someone as reserved and morally conflicted as Monica, agreeing to his outrageous demands wou

    Monica slammed the door and rested behind it before sliding to the floor. Her finger sneaked back to her lips and she could still feel the warmth of his mouth there. The heart kept pounding fast and whatever she felt was overwhelming. This was Spencer, for goodness’s sake, her soon-to-be ex-husband's brother, a little bit flashy and sometimes flirty and playful. The smile then disappeared from her lips. He had called her Monalisa. "Jerk! Thinking of another woman while kissing me, Monalisa,"she scoffed. Pushing the thought to the back of her mind as her pounding heartbeat subsided as she felt annoyed and angry.Could she be having a crush on her husband's half brother?"That can't be! He's Liam's brother, and he's not my type." She muttered. It was probably because she hadn't been with a man for a while and was easily flustered by the attention she was receiving.She groaned. Her fingers trailing back up to her lip. Her mind drifted back to the way she had matched his pace while he w

    Her?Why?Monica's expression changed as she recalled what happened the last time they were in a room together. She had allowed him to kiss her, and she even kissed him back. As she stepped out of the fitting room, she was surprised. More than thirty elegant girls and guys were either on a long couch or clicking photos."What's going on?" Monica turned to the girl, helping her in the changing room. There were a lot of new faces which had her confused."Most of the models are having a photo shoot today, so they will be coming in a lot these days till the Atlanta Fashion Week,"she said.Monica nodded. She didn't have a lot of things to do anyway. The rumors about the scandal regarding Spencer won't allow most fashion brands to hire her, but hopefully, after the show with Mo's Fashion Empire. She couldn't even go to the agency. She wasn't so sure about how they might react.She knocked slightly on the door but heard no response, so she pushed the door and went inside.Her eyes widened a

    "I wonder where Monica disappeared to in the middle of checking out the outfit."The sweet, innocent but suggestive voice made Monica's skin crawl. Angel was about to badmouth her again. After standing behind the room for a while, she could hear the various artists murmuring for a while."This dress would suit me perfectly. What do you think guys?"A dress? Monica pursed her lips. Angel must be trying hard to gather the attention and support of the workers. She was thankful to have broken things with Spencer and called 911. Annoyance grazed her lips, calling her Monalisa. Kissing her and thinking of another woman. How disgusting!. She had allowed things to go too far with Spencer. Her own body betrayed her.Monica casually walked into the studio and approached the dress. One of MonaLisa's collections. Inside, Angel was having her makeup done, getting ready for a photo shoot, along with some other models.Angel turned her head and, upon seeing Monica, instantly gave her a mocking look,

    At the hospital, Monica wasn't allowed to see Spencer, but she eventually got in. At the door, she paused at the sight of two people kissing. She turned and left. After that, Spencer weakly pushed the girl away. None of the two had noticed Monica. "Adriana, stop! I don't love you that way, you are my best friend and nothing more." He said weakly."We are betrothed, Spencer.""Not anymore, Adriana. My grandfather is dead; no one can make me marry someone I don't love."The brunette with a round face and hazel eyes nodded, "Fine, I'll wait till you realize that no one can love you the way I do." She brushed her fingers lightly against his lips, "I have something for you.""Adriana, I want to be alone." He was annoyed. His coffee was spiked and things almost got out of hand. He needed to deal with the culprit immediately."My mom is great friends with your stepmom, so I discovered something.""Adriana, I don't have time for this."She ignored his look of protest and continued, "Your ste

I was almost—”“Spare me the details, young Master,” Sam cut in dryly. “Your friend is passed out on the dining table.”Max froze. “What?”“You might want to check on him instead of moaning his name in the bathroom,” Sam added with a knowing look before walking out.Max rushed into the living room—and sure enough, Lake was slumped over the table, unconscious.He knelt beside him, placing a hand on Lake’s forehead. “He’s burning up.”“I already called Dr. Madison,” Sam said from behind.Max groaned. “Why Madison? You should’ve called Oscar or Frank.”“Can’t,” Sam replied. “Oscar’s tied up with an emergency, and Frank flew out with a patient. Madison was the only one available.”Max sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I’m never comfortable around her.”Sam raised a brow. “You like dicks than ass... her ass.”Max

    Lake squirmed, but Max only tightened his grip around his waist, locking him in place."Stop being such a whiny baby and listen to Daddy," Max said with a wink, clearly enjoying every second of Lake's discomfort."You're a maniac," Lake growled, his head starting to spin.Max's playful grin faded. "Hey... are you okay?""Let go of me first," Lake muttered, his voice strained."You’re hungry. Eat," Max said, picking up the plate of steamed mushroom soup. Lake had stopped fighting and was leaning weakly against Max’s chest."Leave me alone," Lake muttered, his voice faint, but Max wasn’t moved. He scooped up some soup and brought it to his lips."Eat," Max repeated softly. Lake stayed silent, eyes closed, refusing to respond."Please," Max added, his voice quieter now, the word almost a whisper.Lake blinked, surprised by the calm but pleading tone. Slowly, he opened his mouth and let the warmth of the soup slide down his throat.Max’s eyes locked on Lake as he lazily dragged his tongue

    Then Max reached out and gently tucked a loose strand of hair behind Lake’s ear. The touch sent a shiver down Lake’s spine, and without meaning to, he leaned in.“I know you probably don’t care whether I’m around or not,” Max whispered, “but I’m happy for you.”Lake’s eyes lingered on Max’s face, mesmerized.“Damn, you look good,” Max added softly, then pulled back like touching Lake any longer might burn him.He started the engine and drove off, and Lake turned to the window, a quiet, genuine smile spreading across his lips.When Max stopped in front of a grand building, Lake’s eyes widened in awe.“Whoa,” he breathed, staring at the mansion.Max grinned as he stepped out. “You look starstruck. This is my place.”He walked around and opened the door for Lake, who stepped out slowly. “This is insane. Kinda my dream house.”Max leaned closer, playful. “Marry me, and it’s yours.”The smile faded from Lake’s face. “Don’t say stuff like that. Why would I marry you?”“Why not?” Max winked.

    He caught Lake just before he could fall to the ground, supporting him with one arm around his waist.Lake blinked, his vision blurry. “What the hell...” he mumbled, still disoriented.Max’s grip tightened on his waist, holding him steady. “Lake, are you okay? What just happened?”“I’m fine,” Lake muttered, though he didn’t feel fine at all. His heart raced, but the dizziness still hadn't passed. He pushed Max’s arm away, trying to regain his composure.Max didn’t let go, though. “You sure about that? You nearly passed out.”Lake tried to push him off again, but this time, his mom intervened. “Max, let him go. He needs to sit down.”Max hesitated but released his hold. Lake steadied himself with a hand on the chair, his mom’s concerned gaze following him closely.“You scared me,” his mother said softly, her voice laced with worry. “You need to take care of yourself, Lake.”“I’m fine,” Lake snapped a little too sharply, still feeling dizzy.Max crossed his arms, raising a brow. “Doesn'

    Lake pushed open the door, and a nurse who had been attending to his mother stood up with a polite smile. “I’ll leave you two alone,” she said, giving Lake’s mom a quick glance before exiting the room.His mother’s eyes lit up when she saw them. “Well, you came earlier than I expected, I was even beginning to think of ways to convince you.”Lake smiled, but the tension in his posture didn’t go unnoticed. “Hi, Mom. How are you feeling today?”“I’m feeling fine,” she said, then her gaze shifted to Max. A playful grin spread across her face. “Hold on,” she said, her eyes narrowing mischievously, “you didn’t tell me your friend was this good-looking, Lake.”Lake flushed slightly, his hand instinctively rubbing the back of his neck. “Mom, stop, you are going to make his ego burst.”Max stepped forward, offering a confident smile and the bouquet of flowers he had brought. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, ma’am, I have always wanted to meet my future...”Before he could complete, Lake hit his a

    Monica twirled a pen between her fingers as she waited for Spencer to return from the bathroom. The soft sound of the faucet shutting off was followed by his footsteps and then—he reappeared, casually dressed in a new outfit and then put a big old jacket over it.Her eyes darted to his jaw, then quickly away. Why did he always have to look that good? It was becoming distracting. Dangerous as she was beginning to notice too “Are you okay?” Spencer asked, noticing her flushed expression as he took his seat.Monica nodded too quickly, brushing it off.A knock cut through the air before the door creaked open and Diane peeked in. “Sir, Liam McKenzie is here to see you. Should I send him away or…?”Spencer paused, then said calmly, “You can send him in after a few minutes.”Monica’s body stiffened at the name. She stood and walked to Spencer, who was already slipping into character, putting his usual cold mask as he turned his chair to face away from the door.“You can stay in that room,”

    A grin slowly tugged at the corners of his lips. “You’re acting like…”Monica clamped her mouth shut, cheeks burning. Her gaze betrayed her though—it dipped to his lips, lingering just a second too long. Like they had betrayed her. Like she wanted to erase the memory of Adriana’s kiss with her own.Monica didn’t answer. She turned away, but not before he caught the ghost of a smile playing at her lips.****“Good,” the Coach called out, nodding with approval as the male model strutted confidently from one end of the hall to the other, sharp and composed.Lake stepped aside, wiping sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand. He grabbed a water bottle, took a long sip, and exhaled. The air inside the studio was thick with heat and tension—everyone was pushing to be flawless.After a brief moment, he tossed the bottle aside and rejoined the line, slipping seamlessly into place.Practice stretched on for another thirty minutes. The room echoed with the clack of shoes, the barked

    Lake rushed into the elevator at the Mo’s Fashion Empire just before the doors slid shut. His breath came in short puffs from the quick dash, but it wasn’t just the sprint that made his pulse race.Max was already inside.Their eyes met for a brief second—sharp, loaded. Max's jaw tightened as he looked away and folded his arms across his chest. The cold shoulder was unmistakable.Lake swallowed and shifted awkwardly, glancing at the glowing floor numbers before finally gathering the nerve to speak.“Max…”No response.Lake clenched and unclenched his hands, fingers fidgeting at the hem of his shirt. The silence between them was deafening.“I know you don’t want to talk to me right now,” he said, his voice low, almost hesitant. “But... I really need you to come to breakfast tomorrow. With my mom.”Max didn’t move at first. Then, he let out a quiet scoff and shook his head slightly, still staring at the elevator doors."Max, please," Lake said, stepping closer as the elevator hummed sof
