LOGINLillian Shaw's childhood sweetheart, Morgan Sullivan, has gotten bullied by others for five long years for her sake. Because of that, he's afflicted with depression. Thanks to Morgan's depression, Lillian has abandoned me countless times just to be with him. Every time, she'll just explain the same thing to me. "I'm just repaying Morgan for his act of kindness from before. Don't overthink it." On the eve of our wedding, I've told Lillian to not invite Morgan to our wedding for fear that he might get affected. Lillian agrees to comply. But on the day of the wedding that I've been looking forward to for five long years, I witness Morgan showing up in a fancy suit.
View MoreThat evening, I received a call from Lillian."Gavin, I'm in trouble. Can you lend me some money?"I nearly laughed. Once, I would have done anything for her, but not anymore."Sorry. Ask someone else.""Gavin, have you forgotten? You said you'd do anything for me, even die."Sophie took the phone from me. "You know he used to be willing to do anything for you. But what did you do for him?"Lillian kept crying on the other end. I simply ended the call.The next day, Bluestar Corporation held a pre-launch event for us. The TechVance system launch went viral instantly.People chosen to test it raved about how secure and reliable the phone system was. Everyone was sharing their opinions online.Lillian burst onto the stage. "Gavin, this is all your fault! I wouldn't have gone bankrupt if it weren't for you!"She glared at me, a knife clutched in her hand. Security rushed in and restrained her.They dragged her away, but Lillian kept screaming. "Gavin, I won't let you get away w
We arrived at the private dining room. Lillian and Morgan showed up shortly after.Lillian entered gracefully, her arm linked with Morgan's, and took her seat. Morgan looked at me with a cold laugh."Mr. Morris, you probably don't know much about Mr. Graham here. He used to be a kept man who lived off women." His voice was full of mockery.Lillian chimed in from beside him. "Gavin, I know you want to prove yourself to me. You want to show everyone you're not a leech."But business really isn't for you. You've been a househusband for so long. You should stick to what you're good at."A smug smile flickered in Lillian's eyes.I raised my glass high. "Mr. Morris, sorry for the personal drama. Let me raise a toast to you."Morgan wouldn't let it go. "Gavin, you're bad for business. Mr. Morris, I'd advise you not to partner with him."Alan Morris' expression darkened considerably. He set down his glass, his eyes blazing with anger."And who are you? I only invited Ms. Shaw. What gi
Two weeks passed without a single call from Lillian. Without her, life was finally peaceful.Sophie and I established Graham Industries. Together with Sullivan Enterprises, we became Carrington's leading company.That morning, Sophie and I went to a hotel to negotiate a partnership. We ran into Lillian and Morgan.In the elevator, Morgan's voice dripped with sarcasm. "Only half a month and you couldn't help yourself. You even followed us all the way to someone else's company."He thought I'd followed them because I missed Lillian. He wasn't entirely wrong. After I'd discovered Lillian and Morgan sleeping together, I used to follow them around. Whenever Lillian caught me, she'd start a massive fight.Lillian's eyes glinted with amusement. "Gavin, if you miss me, just swallow your pride and I'll take you back."Morgan glared at me like I was a thorn in his side. "Lily, he's not worthy of you."Sophie couldn't help but scoff. "Are you two that full of yourselves? You think everyone
The moment we entered the room, Sophie positioned herself in front of a photograph, trying to hide it.I gave her a look. "Sophie, are you keeping secrets from me?""No... of course not." Her face flushed red as she avoided my gaze.I pressed her against the wall, looking into her eyes.Sophie slowly closed hers. While she was distracted, I lifted her up. Behind her was a photo of me from high school, the one taken when I'd been chosen as a model for a magazine cover.Sophie realized what had happened. Her eyes flew open and her face turned bright red."Fine, you've seen it." She hooked her arms around my neck and pressed her lips to mine.My mind went blank. Sophie lost herself in the kiss. I lay her down on the bed, pinning her hands as I kissed her deeply. It was a long time before we finally pulled apart.Still flushed, Sophie changed the subject. "Gavin, you're wondering about what Grandma said, aren't you?"I nodded. Then Sophie pouted at me and looked at me with those e
We stepped through the door of the Sullivan residence. Before I could even set down my bags, I spotted Sophie's entire family in the living room. All eyes turned to me."Get down on your knees!" The elderly woman in the center struck her cane against the floor.Sophie took my hand and knelt beside
From then on, I handled all the cooking, laundry, and housework while she focused on her career. We were happy.When we graduated from college, she decided to start her own business. I offered to work part-time while still managing the household. Lillian hesitated but eventually agreed.I gave her
They threw me out without a second thought. I stood at the entrance of the banquet hall, staring at the city lights stretching into the distance.I stood there as memories flooded back, years collapsing into moments. I remembered the first time I saw Lillian.She had big, loose curls and wore bold
