Cole

When I arrived at the hospital, I saw Butler Gavin standing by the entrance of the private ward section, his posture stiff and his eyes tired. He looked as though he hadn’t slept all night.

“Gavin,” I called, walking quickly toward him. “What happened?”

The old butler looked at me for a long moment, then sighed deeply. “Mr. Grant will explain better, sir,” he said quietly. “He’s inside.”

I frowned. “He’s… inside? What do you mean? Is he sick? what are the doctors saying about his condition?”

Gavin avoided my eyes. “You should see for yourself, sir.”

Without saying another word, he turned and began walking down the hall. I followed, my mind racing as I tried to make sense of what he’d said. Since the day I met my maternal grandfather, Isaac Grant, I’d never once heard he was ill. He was always strong, proud, and full of energy. The man had a commanding presence that could fill any room. So what on earth was going on now?

When Gavin stopped at the last door in the hallway, he pause

    Cole“Easy… breathe, Skylar,” I murmured softly, rubbing her back in slow, gentle circles. My other hand held her hair out of the way as she crouched over the toilet, her body trembling slightly as she retched again.The vomiting sound coming from the toilet was what woke up this morning. Realising it was Skylar, I had to rush to help her and find out what was going on.When she finally stopped, she stayed there for a moment, catching her breath, one hand resting on the toilet seat for support. I grabbed a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth before flushing the toilet quietly.“My love, I’m calling Dr. Evans. He should come check on you.”She shook her head weakly, her face pale and sweaty. “No. There’s no need for that,” she whispered. “I’m fine… I just need to rest a bit and maybe take something for the nausea.”I frowned. “Rest isn’t going to help if something’s wrong.”She looked up at me with a faint smile. “It’s probably what I ate last night. Remember the company’s biannua

    Amber“Mr. Lambert, I assure you this property is worth every penny. The location alone gives it an edge over others in the market. It’s only a fifteen-minute drive from the central business district, and the neighborhood has been developing rapidly these past few months. You’d be buying into potential growth, not just land.”I paused, waiting for a response. On the other end of the line, the client hummed thoughtfully.I leaned back slightly in my chair, adjusting my phone against my ear. “Trust me, Mr. Lambert, this isn’t just a smart purchase… it’s a strategic one. You could easily double your return in less than two years if the market continues at this pace.”He gave a small chuckle. “You’re persuasive, Miss Amber. I’ll think about it.”I grinned. “I’ll take that as a good sign, Mr. Lambert. I’ll send you the details by email shortly. Thank you for your time.”As I ended the call, a soft knock sounded on my office door, and Marcus walked in with his usual confident stride.I blin

    Skylar “Skylar, I swear if you don’t talk to him right now, I’m calling the police!” Amber’s voice blared through the phone. I pulled the phone slightly away from my ear, wincing at the volume. “Amber, calm down. What’s going on this time?” “What’s going on?” she repeated, her tone sharp. “What’s going on is that Xavier is in my apartment… again! He’s pacing around like some kind of bodyguard and won’t even let me leave because I said I was going on a date with Marcus! I can’t even breathe in my own house!” I sighed, rubbing my forehead. “Oh, not again.” Honestly, I was tired. Deep down, truly tired of the endless push-and-pull between those two. They acted this same way at my wedding. One minute, they were fighting. The next, they were acting like nothing happened. Then they’d fight again, and somehow, I was always the one stuck in the middle trying to fix things. Why couldn’t they just either break up for good or get back together already? “Skylar, are you listening to

    SkylarThree months later…The soft knock on the door stirred me awake, and I couldn't help but smile the moment I opened my eyes.This was finally it… the day I had been waiting for. Yes, you guessed right… it was my wedding day!I jumped out of bed, feeling my heart race with excitement, and hurried to open the door.Standing there, with a mischievous grin and bright eyes, was none other than Amber.“Good morning, our beautiful bride!” she sang dramatically, her arms spread wide. “Ready for the biggest, happiest day of your life?”I couldn’t help but laugh. “I was born ready.”Amber squealed and wrapped her arms around me tightly. “Oh, Skylar… I’m so proud of you. I’ve watched you fight through storms, pick yourself up when life knocked you down, and still manage to love with all your heart. You deserve every bit of happiness coming your way.”Her words hit deep, and I hugged her even tighter. “Thank you, Amber. You’ve been my sister in every way that counts. You stood by me when I

    Cole“What do you mean the company will no longer be funding me?” Rufus’ voice thundered across the room.“Exactly what you heard, Sir,” I said calmly. “The board of directors agreed that the company can no longer allocate monthly funds to you. The money you’ve been receiving was only meant for shareholders, and since you don’t hold any valid shares anymore… well, that privilege doesn’t apply to you.”Rufus’s face darkened. He looked like he’d just been slapped. “You’re joking,” he said in disbelief. “The Buckman Corporation belongs to this family! MY family! You think a bunch of old men can sit in a boardroom and decide to cut me off?”Before anyone could stop him, he reached for the glass antique vase on the nearby shelf and slammed it to the floor. The sound of shattering glass filled the room, followed by his ragged breathing.I didn’t flinch.In fact, I kept my face perfectly composed, especially with Grandfather sitting quietly on the couch nearby, his walking cane resting besid

    Amber“Amber, you need to be very careful with men,” Xavier said firmly. “Sometimes they can have ulterior motives… especially when you least expect it.”I blinked at him, trying not to laugh. Was he been serious right now?Rolling my eyes, I crossed my arms and gave him a look. “Wow, really, Xavier? You’re giving me ‘boy’s advice’ now?”He frowned. “I’m just saying…”“I have everything under control,” I interrupted, my tone calm but sharp. “Marcus is my business client. We were talking about business. So where is all this coming from?”Xavier’s jaw tightened. He looked like he wanted to argue, but I wasn’t done yet.“And besides,” I continued, tilting my head, “we’re not even together anymore, remember? We’re just friends now. So… why do you care so much?”For a second, he just stood there — mouth slightly open, no words coming out. Then he closed it again, exhaled, and looked away.“I’m just looking out for you,” he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. “That’s all. I kn
