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
~GENERAL~Vincent walked into the living room, holding a glass of water and a glass of wine with both hands, oblivious to what was about to hit him. Willow studied every step he took towards her, her eyes fixated on his face so that she would know when his expression changed. She had just sprayed an aphrodisiac in the air. She was trying her best to hold her breath for a few seconds so that she wouldn't inhale a lot of it and she would still be in her right senses. That was the only way she could carry out her next plan. The moment Vincent put the glass of wine on the table, a sharp scent hit his nose. It had a mixture of vanilla and wood. He didn't pay a lot of attention to it. He thought it was Willow's perfume. "Thank you so much, sir," Willow mumbled with a half smile, picking up the glass of water and sipping from it. Her eyes didn't leave him. They were fixed on him as though she was scared he would disappear if she removed them.He also settled into the seat in front of he
~GENERAL~Vincent twirled the steering wheel as he drove into the gate. His eyes caught a familiar silhouette and face as soon as he drove into his compound, causing him to narrow his orbs. It was rare for anyone to come to his mansion. In fact, only a few people knew where he stayed. The only person who he wished would know his place was Violet, but it seemed that wouldn't happen anymore. The last time he saw her, he could see that she was still in love with her ex-husband and vice versa. They both had lingering affections for one another, and it wouldn't be that long before they professed undying love to each other and continued their love story from where it stopped.After parking in the mini lot situated in the compound, he got out of his car and walked toward the figure who was waiting beside the door in the visitor's waiting area. "Mr. Vincent," she mumbled, a bright smile etched on her face. Her eyes glinted with nervousness.He squinted his eyes as he tried to figure out w
~GENERAL~Liam hopped into his car and zoomed off, releasing a loud screeching sound with smoke gushing out of the tailpipe. His frown deepened, and lines of veins popped out of his skin as he drove off. It was evident that he was annoyed, and it was uncontrollable.He had known Violet since six years ago, and he regarded her as his best friend. He left his country, Australia, four years ago to lead her company in her place, and that was all because he cared about her.He wouldn't have a problem with it if she had fallen in love with a different man. In fact, he had hoped that she would give somebody else a space in her life. He hoped she would open her heart for another man, but he had never thought of the possibility of reconciling with the same man who had hurt her in the past.Not only was the information annoying but also shocking. He wondered if she never had the plan to let him know despite the bond they share. He didn't stop driving until he got to a beach. He parked his car
~GENERAL~The moment Violet ended the meeting with the partnership company, she took out her phone from the bag and started typing a message to Stewart. Her radiant smile and the happiness visible on her flawless face made Liam perceive something. He suspected something but couldn't lay a finger on what it was. She was brighter and happier. Definitely, there was something she wasn't telling him, and he decided to ask once they got to her office.Helping her with her bag and documents, they left the meeting room and walked to her office.Despite walking, her eyes were fixated on the phone, and her smile grew wider anytime her phone chimed, indicating a new message. Liam's brows creased. He was certain that something was going on, but she hadn't told him anything yet.They got into her office; she sat down while typing on her phone swiftly. He placed her documents and bag on the table in front of her. His eyes were fixed on her, hoping she would at least lift her head and take a glan
