    “Rafe, if you keep staring at me like that, you're going to be late for work.”“Then I'll be late.”“That's not an option.”“Why not?”“Because you're the boss, and I'm sure your employees would appreciate it if their boss arrived before lunchtime.”Rafe Ashford laughed, leaning against the kitchen counter with a cup of coffee in his hand.“Are you throwing me out of my own house, Mrs. Ashford?”Jasmine smiled as she adjusted the little blue bib around Ethan's neck.“I'm reminding my husband that he has responsibilities.”“And what about his responsibilities to his beautiful wife?”“His beautiful wife is currently trying to feed his son.”“Our son,” Rafe corrected.“Your son when he's making a mess. Mine when he's behaving.”Rafe glanced at Ethan, who was sitting in his high chair, happily banging a small spoon against the tray.“Did you hear that, buddy? Your mother has already decided to abandon you when things get difficult.”Ethan responded with an excited squeal.“See?” Rafe said

    “Rafe, are you planning to spend the entire evening looking at that phone?”Raphael looked up from the message he was reading and smiled at his wife.“Are you jealous of my phone?”Jasmine folded her arms. “I'm beginning to think it gets more attention than I do.”“That's impossible.”“Then prove it.”Rafe placed the phone on the table and opened his arms.“Come here.”Jasmine laughed as she settled beside him.“You're lucky I love you.”“I'm reminded of that every day.”He kissed her forehead and pulled her closer.“How was your day, sweetheart?”“Busy. Ethan kept me occupied, and I still have a few ch

    Victor remained quiet.Celeste gave a faint smile.“That's all I've wanted for years.”Victor watched her for several seconds before speaking.“And what do you intend to do while waiting for that possibility?”Celeste straightened.“Continue being part of his life.”“In what way?”“The way I always have been. I'm not going to disappear from the family simply because he's married.”

    “Before we discuss anything else, Celeste, I want to know whether you've thought carefully about our last conversation.”Victor Ashford stood beside the window of his private study, one hand resting in the pocket of his dark trousers. His salt-and-pepper hair was neatly combed, and his expression remained serious as he turned toward the young woman seated opposite his desk.Celeste Lancaster crossed her legs and looked at him.“Good afternoon to you too, Uncle Victor.”Victor raised an eyebrow.“Celeste.”“What? You haven't even asked how I've been.”“I assume you've been well.”“You could at least pretend to be interested.”Victor sighed and returned to his chair.“How have you been?”&

    Victor watched her carefully.“Go on.”Celeste leaned forward.“I don't think confronting Jasmine will accomplish anything.”“Why not?”“Because it'll be too obvious that we're out for her. And Rafe will stand beside her.”“That’s true.”“Even if someone were to criticize her openly, he'll probably assume they're being unfair to her.”Victor nodded.“Rafe can be protective.”“Exactly.”“So?”Celeste took a breath.“So perhaps the problem isn't how much he loves Jasmine.

    Victor stared at the financial reports spread across his desk, his expression growing more serious with every page he examined.For over ten years, he had carefully managed the movement of money through accounts connected to the company. He knew which transactions required attention, which records were likely to raise questions, and how easily one unexplained figure could lead someone toward something much larger.Until recently, he had believed everything was under control.Jasmine's accidentally coming across those documents had rattled him deeply.Victor removed his reading glasses and rubbed his forehead.The document itself was troubling enough.
