~GENERAL~Kate was stupefied.She stared at him unblinkingly, void of reaction.“I know I’ve not been the best brother, Kate. Kindly give me a chance to make it up to you. Let’s rebuild our relationship,” Stewart mumbled.For a moment, her heart skipped a beat at the action. However, the picture of her mother on her last breath rewound in her head and hardened her heart.She scoffed. “Do you think you can manipulate me into thinking you really wanted this? I’m sorry to disappoint you, my dear. I’m not falling for this cock-and-bull. You should try again next time,” she let out, her voice laced with anger.“Get out when you are done with your acting. It’s not going to work on me,” she spat before settling back into her seat.It was stupid of Stewart and his mother to think a simple sorry would fix everything they had ruined in her life. They must be jokers for thinking their little lies and pretense would make her fall into their trap.Never! Even if he licked the soles of his feet.St
GENERALSister Kate stared intently at the desktop screen, rubbing her chin. After a few seconds, she shifted her gaze to the file beside the monitor and scribbled a few words on it.Then, she returned her eyes to the screen and repeated the same procedure.A knock on the door pulled her attention away.She already knew who it was. It couldn’t be anyone other than her secretary.“Come in,” she mumbled, setting the pen down on the file and leaning back in her chair. She let out a loud sigh.Her head had been bowed and her back bent for over an hour. Stretching felt like a luxury she couldn’t afford at such a crucial time. A new fashion project needed to be completed before summer, and that was just a few weeks away.Everyone had been working tirelessly for the past four weeks.The door opened, revealing her secretary’s face. Kate’s expression shifted into an I knew it look the moment she confirmed her assumption.“Hello, ma’am,” the secretary greeted with a short bow. “You have a guest
GENERALStewart was shocked. Even though he wanted that, he didn’t expect the proposal from her. He had hurt her a lot, and he was still doing his best to redeem himself and earn her trust.To him, he hadn’t done enough, and he still had a lot of work to do to convince her that, even in the face of danger, he would pick her and the children over and over again.He couldn’t respond to her. He stared at her unblinkingly, too overwhelmed to think of what to say.“What is it? Don’t you want the kids to know about you?” she raised questions when she wasn’t getting the required reaction from him. She thought she had made a mistake.She expected him to be excited since that was one of the things he had been wishing for—to meet his children. But the reaction he gave just made it seem like she had misunderstood him. Maybe he never wanted the children but her, and that would be a difficult quest if it turned out to be as she assumed.“No… No…” he lowered his head and kneaded the little space be
GENERALA video played on the phone screen. Willow shoved it into Vincent’s face. It was a recording of the two of them, of him begging her and undressing her.His pupils dilated.His finger pointed at the screen, his mouth ajar as though he wanted to speak, but no words came out.He couldn’t form a coherent sentence.He had underestimated the woman standing before him. Now, he understood why Stewart clung to Violet. No man would genuinely find someone as cunning and manipulative as Willow attractive and admirable.A sly smile crept onto her lips as she raised her brows teasingly.“What? Cat got your tongue?” She taunted with a short chuckle. “Don’t tell me you’re surprised.”She swiped the screen. “This is just the tip of the iceberg. You haven’t even seen the second video.”Another clip popped up.This time, he was lying unclothed on the floor. His eyes widened, brows shooting up as he stared at her in disbelief.“You!” he snarled, clenching his teeth and tightening one fist while p
GENERALThe sun diffracting through the windows in the living room shone brightly on Vincent’s face, causing him to twitch.With his eyes closed, his lashes flickered incessantly for a few seconds before he eventually pried them open.The first thing that caught his attention was the floor he was on. He was still trying to figure out how he got there when he realized he was unclad.“OMG!” he gasped, holding his breath as he sprang up.Glancing around, he found his clothes scattered on the floor. He swiftly grabbed his pants and put them on.His brows arched. His head was heavy, and it throbbed whenever he tried to recall the events of the previous day.“How did I—”The sound of bustle in the kitchen interrupted his thoughts. One of his brows lifted as he tiptoed toward the kitchen.For a moment, he thought his house had been raided by thieves—which was the only explanation that made sense, given the condition he found himself in when he woke up.When he got to the entrance, he stretch
~VIOLET~ Nothing could prepare me for Liam’s reaction. I knew he wouldn’t take the information easily, but the way he reacted??? It was one I didn’t expect. He refused to listen to me or anything I wanted to say. He was so exasperated that he left the office in the middle of the day. That was the first time he had ever done something like that. I couldn’t even bring myself to be angry. I knew I was wrong. He took me as a friend, yet I hid such news from him. Thinking about it, I really didn’t. I just hadn’t found the right time to reveal things to him. Moreover, Stewart and I just became official yesterday. I hadn’t done anything wrong. For sure, that didn’t justify the fact that I picked a man who mistreated me six years ago. I chose a man who chased me out of his house six years ago. That made me a fool. It made me stupid. If I were in Liam’s shoes, I would get angry too, but he shouldn’t judge me. There’s nobody who can understand the ways of the heart. We just find ourselv
