The Rich and the Loved Meeting Her Ex
The door opened, and that foolish asshole stepped inside. “Mr. Knight, I appreciate that you agreed to meet—” He cut himself off as soon as his eyes landed on me, his face draining of color. Interesting, amusing even. It seemed like the poor fucker hadn't done his homework. He hadn't known who I was back then at the gala, and he was still too stupid to match the name to the face before he confidently strode into my office. That confidence was now gone, and what stood before me reeked of anxiety. “Have a seat, Mr. Kenneth,” I said simply, pointing at the chair in front of my desk. Kenneth Welch stumbled forward, almost knocking the water pitcher off the coffee table. “I'm sorry,” he mumbled, quickly recollecting himself and walking to the seat I had pointed. His lips twitched into more of a weird grimace than a smile as his eyes landed on me. “I feel… like I need to explain myself.” He let out a nervous chuckle. “That day at the Youngs' gala... I'd been taken by surprise, and you mig
The Rich and the Loved The Wicked Side Of Me
LILLYI turned out to be a coward. I hadn't reached out to Darren after finding the letter from Ansel Holloway. I hadn't come to Hayes Global Group to look for more evidence in my father's office either. I was too terrified to look any further or ask more questions.Every word from Ansel Holloway's letter to my father haunted me, cursed my sleep, and stole my focus during the day. I memorized each sentence and tried to turn it around, find a different angle, dig out a hidden meaning... But no matter how I stretched my brain cells, I ended up with one conclusion: my father had done something unforgivable.Of course, the letter didn't say a word about the explosion, the bomb, or killing people, but the words used there were enough to suspect a lot. I knew that my uncle would call it circumstantial evidence. It wasn't enough to arrest my father, but perhaps it would have been sufficient for the police to reopen the investigation. That was what Darren wanted; I knew it well. But this wasn
The Rich and the Loved The First Part of the Revenge
My father left on a business trip on Thursday and wasn't going to return until Monday afternoon. It left me a lot of time to prepare for the lovely Sunday dinner with the Welch family without his interference. Certainly, I'd told him about my plan. He'd reacted with a chuckle and a raised thumb.“Good luck. Get the justice you deserve,” he'd told me then.My chest squeezed each time I recalled his words. Could a person who wanted me to fight for justice commit a crime as despicable as murder? I didn't want to believe that. Perhaps I was just fooling myself. Or perhaps I should have just confronted my father, told him I knew about the letter, and then demanded answers. I should have braced myself and done everything to find out the truth. I had done no such thing. Again—coward.Fortunately, I had no issues crafting a plan to get my revenge on Kenneth and his family. On the contrary, I was certain that I would enjoy every drop of its sweetness. There was only one problem: I needed to ac
The Rich and the Loved The New Stage
“And then what happened?” Raven's eyes shone in excitement as she listened to my story.A wide grin spread across my lips. “Mr. Lacroix punched Kenneth. He practically knocked him out. Then they all started to fight, throwing plates and cursing each other.” I sighed and shook my head as I recalled that scene. “It took five guards to separate them. It was… quite brutal.”Raven snorted. “I wish I could see this.”“Actually, you still can.” I winked at her before taking a sip of wine. “I didn't turn off the cameras when I left, so I have the entire footage.”“You naughty girl.” She laughed and clinked her glass with mine. “Bravo!”“I learned from the best,” I admitted, pointing at her. Then we both laughed, the sounds of our voices traveling from the terrace to the far corners of the residence's garden."So, what's your next move?” Raven asked after a moment.I smirked and took another sip of my wine. “The real beauty of it is that I don't have to do anything until court trial. The Welch
The Rich and the Loved Celebrating
“Congratulations on your success!” Callan exclaimed, raising his glass of champagne.“Thank you.” I clinked my glass with his and took a generous sip, savoring every drop.We finally went on our long-awaited second date, and I had to admit that the location Callan had chosen had everything I could have dreamed of. We were in a restaurant called Alberto's Heaven. Its owner, Alberto Dettori, was Callan's friend. The table where we were sitting was on the small patio, surrounded by plants and colorful flowers. Several dozen lanterns hanging high above our heads illuminated the space, forming a little bit of a starry night even on cloudy days. The soft tones of classical music blended with the gentle rustling sounds of leaves. The tables were placed some distance apart, granting privacy and what I needed most—peace.My poor muscles relaxed for the first time in a couple of weeks. I leaned back in my seat and let the sparkling liquid take away all my tension. Callan observed me with a soft
The Rich and the Loved A Little Problem
On Monday afternoon, Darren's caller ID popped up on my phone screen. I flinched in my seat as I watched the phone buzz. I didn't dare answer it. I knew I couldn't avoid him forever, but I needed just a little more time. That was what I told myself, even though I knew that another week of stalling wouldn't change anything. Still, I didn't know what to tell him. I knew that I couldn't tell him about the letter, and I had no reasonable explanation for why I hadn't searched for evidence in my father's office at the company.The phone stopped ringing, and a text from Darren came a moment later. “Lilly, I've given you time. I hope you used it right. Let me know what you found. I'm waiting.”I swallowed hard. I could almost feel his impatience and annoyance dripping from every word he wrote. I drew a shaky breath and typed a short reply. “I searched and found nothing.”I held my breath as I sent the message. Perhaps I feared that he would see through me, that he would see the obvious lie in
The Rich and the Loved Danger
I had probably growled out every curse I had ever learned twice by the time I parked my car three blocks away from the club. Why did I park so far away from that damn club? The answer was simple: there was no empty parking place anywhere nearer, as if everyone living in New York suddenly decided to go for a ride and park in this area.I was dressed in clothes I had been wearing on my picnic date with Callan, which was simply the quickest outfit to put on after Tim's phone dragged me out of bed. Certainly, my light-pink dress with a bustier and flared skirt looked nothing like the outfits of those who waited in a long—extremely long—line to get inside the club… Yep. That line was yet another problem for me to face.“I'm going to kill Tim, and then I'm going to resurrect him and kill him again,” I hissed, trying to locate where the last people were standing. I went around the corner, and the end was still nowhere to be found. Air escaped me in a rush. It would take me hours to get insid
The Rich and the Loved Because of Her
DARRENTwenty Minutes Earlier“Lilly has just walked out of the club,” announced Lucien, barging into my office.I was sitting by my laptop, reviewing this year's key contract I was supposed to sign on Monday, but all it took was those few words from Lucien to shift my entire attention to him.“That bitch showed up in here?” Mia snarled before taking a sip from her wine glass. “Is she that desperate to get laid?”I ignored her and locked my eyes on Lucien. “Talk. Now.”Grinning, he closed the door behind him and walked to my desk. “Bear told me that two of her employees got drunk, and she came to get them out.”My brows rose. “Seriously? She came to my club for some guys who work for her?”He chuckled. “Check the surveillance if you don't believe me. She might still be outside the club. Bear said that she was calling a cab for those two.”I was on my feet before he finished talking. I heard Mia growling out a curse behind my back, but nothing she would say or do could stop me. Lilly h
