After breakfast, Charlotte called out from the pool. "Daddy! Come swim with me!"

Liam immediately stood up, kicking off his leather sandals and rolling his linen trousers up above his ankles. He stepped into the shallow end, splashing Charlotte gently.

"Whoa!" Charlotte squealed. "Daddy!"

"You started it, Princess."

"I did not!"

"You absolutely did."

She giggled loudly, splashing him back with both hands. Liam laughed out loud—a rich, warm sound that filled the morning air.

    My breath caught in my throat. Louisa’s composed mask finally cracked, her expression hardening with pure shock. "You would choose her over your family?" Liam’s eyes remained steady. "She is my family." A heavy silence settled over the room. Then Louisa stood up slowly from the velvet sofa. "If you continue down this path, you will lose your position." Liam didn’t flinch. "Then so be it." "You don’t understand what you’re saying!" "I understand perfectly." Louisa turned, walking toward the grand floor-to-ceiling windows. "When Felicia came to me, she showed me a structural path that could strengthen Montgomery International." I felt my stomach twist into a cold knot. "There it is." Louisa turned around sharply. "What?" "Felicia," I stepped forward beside Liam. "She wants access to Liam’s company." Louisa’s expression hardened. "She wants to protect the Montgomery legacy." "By convincing you that I’m the problem?" "By reminding me that the company cannot survive another pu

    The emergency call came before sunrise. I was still half-asleep when Liam’s phone rang against the nightstand. He answered on the first chime, his deep voice immediately sharp with alert discipline. "Mother?" His voice immediately changed. The warmth from the night before disappeared, replaced by the cold, disciplined tone he used whenever something threatened our family. I pushed myself upright, watching him closely. "What happened, Lee?" A long silence followed. Liam’s jaw tightened. "No." Another pause. "We are in the Maldives, Mother." His eyes flicked toward me. "I understand." Another heavy silence stretched across the line. Then his expression hardened into pure stone. "Today?" My stomach tightened into a hard, cold knot. Liam listened for several seconds before finally speaking with icy finality: "We’ll be there." He ended the call, setting the device down on the nightstand with a sharp click. I stared at him, my pulse racing. "What happened?" "My mother wants us i

    After breakfast, Charlotte called out from the pool. "Daddy! Come swim with me!" Liam immediately stood up, kicking off his leather sandals and rolling his linen trousers up above his ankles. He stepped into the shallow end, splashing Charlotte gently. "Whoa!" Charlotte squealed. "Daddy!" "You started it, Princess." "I did not!" "You absolutely did." She giggled loudly, splashing him back with both hands. Liam laughed out loud—a rich, warm sound that filled the morning air. I sat near the lounge chair, watching them with a soft smile. That was my husband. Not the ruthless corporate raider. Not the intimidating billionaire who silenced boardrooms with a glare. Just Liam. Charlotte’s father. My best friend. My home. Felicia stood several feet away near the edge of the deck, watching the scene. Her expression was completely unreadable. I stood up and walked over to stand beside her. "Beautiful, isn't it?" She turned her head to look at me. "What?" I gestured toward Liam and Ch

  • The Wife He Loves to Hate   CHAPTER 72: WAR OF WORDS

    The Maldives looked like absolute perfection that morning. The Indian Ocean glittered beneath the bright tropical sunlight like a expanse of scattered diamonds. Palm trees swayed lazily in the sea breeze, and the turquoise water surrounding our overwater villa reflected the endless blue sky. Everything was peaceful. Everything felt like a dream. Unfortunately, Felicia Brooke had decided to bring cold reality directly to our doorstep. I sat at the poolside breakfast table wearing a white silk resort dress and dark oversized sunglasses, quietly sipping my espresso while Charlotte splashed happily in the shallow end of the infinity pool. Liam sat beside me in a dark linen shirt, looking entirely too relaxed for a man whose corporate rival had followed him halfway across the world. And Felicia? She had somehow managed to turn our private family breakfast into an informal board meeting. She sat across from us on our dining deck with a slim black leather folder resting besid

  • The Wife He Loves to Hate   CHAPTER 71: THE PROMISE

    When we finally pulled apart, I smiled against his lips. “Promise me something.” “What?” “Don’t let anyone turn this vacation into another war.” He chuckled softly, kissing my nose. “I promise.” Neither of us knew how quickly that promise was going to be tested.*** The following morning, I stepped onto our private wooden terrace holding a mug of fresh black coffee. Charlotte was still fast asleep in her room, and Liam was inside getting dressed. I took a slow sip of coffee, taking in the peace. Then I noticed unusual movement near the resort dock. A convoy of luxury dark speedboats had arrived, and several resort employees were gathering near the water walkway. My stomach tightened. That level of fanfare was rare for a private island. A familiar figure stepped out of the first boat. She wore an immaculate cream linen suit over a silk blouse, dark designer sunglasses shielding her eyes from the morning sun. She looked completely at ease, as though she owned the island. Felic

    Standing on the glass terrace of our pavilion, my hands wrapped around a cold glass of water, I watched Liam pace near the sliding doors, his encrypted phone pressed hard against his ear. His broad shoulders were squared into a rigid, unyielding line, and his dark jawline was clenched so tight a muscle twitched continuously in his cheek. “No, Mother.” His voice was calm. Too calm. I knew that tone—it was the dangerous register Liam used when he was one sentence away from losing his patience entirely. “I understand what you’re trying to achieve.” He paused, his sharp jaw tightening further. “No.” Another agonizing pause. “I said no, Mother.” I couldn’t hear Louisa clearly from where I stood, but I didn’t need to. I already knew what they were discussing: Felicia, her sudden corporate comeback, her growing financial influence, and the fact that Louisa apparently believed Felicia deserved a seat beside the Montgomery Group. Liam turned toward me, his dark eyes softening for half a
