The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 108: The Wrong Bride
KENDRICKThe wedding day arrived faster than I wanted it to. By ten in the morning, the estate looked like a wedding magazine had exploded across it.Flowers were everywhere. White roses lined the entrance, arrangements covered nearly every table.Candles were scattered around the reception area, making me wonder if my mother had secretly planned a romantic séance instead of a wedding.Guests filled the estate, dressed in expensive suits and gowns, all smiling as though they were attending the happiest event of the year.Apparently, I was supposed to be the happiest man in the room.I stood near the entrance with my hands in my pockets, watching everything unfold with the enthusiasm of a man waiting for a business meeting to end.Damon appeared beside me, adjusting his cufflinks.He looked around the estate, then slowly whistled. “Your mother outdid herself, mate.”I glanced at the glass table lined up in a curve. “Tell me about it.”“She really did.” Victor joined us, holding a glass
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 107: What I Can't Let Go
KENDRICKI was getting ready for work when someone knocked on my bedroom door.“Come in,” I called out, thinking it was one of my staff, but it was my mother.My brows furrowed. “Mom, what are you doing here?”She carried a tablet. “The wedding planner needs your approval on the final arrangements.”She had pushed the wedding to another two weeks because she claimed she wanted everything perfect.“Mom, you brought the idea. You can go ahead and do it.”She placed the tablet beside her, glaring at me. “But you're the groom.”I gave her a flat look.“You're getting married in thirteen days, Kendrick.”“I know.”“You don't seem particularly thrilled.”“Should I be?”“Yes!”“Please, mother.” I laughed bitterly. “You knew I didn’t want this.”“You should.” She got up to leave. “I’m going to see the wedding planner with Britney now.”She kissed my cheek and turned to leave.“You've heard from Yulia?” I asked.“No, son.”I exhaled, strapping my watch. “Alright.”She gave me a pitying look. “
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 106: A New Era
YULIAMy phone rang just as I was descending the stairs.I glanced at the unfamiliar number on the screen and almost ignored it. But it was a Russian line.I answered. “Hello?”“Good morning. May I speak with Miss Yulia Adley?”“Yes, this is Yulia.”“I'm calling from Belov & Associates. You submitted an application for the junior legal position two weeks ago.”My heart immediately started beating faster.“Yes. Yes.”There was a brief pause before the woman continued.“I’m pleased to inform you that your application has been successful. The partners reviewed your academic credentials and interview assessment, and we would like you to join our firm.”My body went still.For a split second, I wasn't sure I'd heard her correctly.“You accepted me?”“Yes. We'd like you to begin next Monday.”My mouth fell open. “Monday?”“Yes. If that works for you.”“Yes!” I answered far too quickly.The woman laughed softly. “Excellent. I'll send the employment documents and your onboarding details to y
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 105: Still Hoping
KENDRICKThe envelope had been sitting on my desk for more than twenty minutes, and I still hadn't opened it.I stared at it as though it had personally offended me.The Cromwell Hospital logo was stamped across the front of the envelope; beneath it were my name and the reference number for the DNA test. Everything about it looked painfully official. There was no room for interpretation, no room for excuses, and certainly no room for the kind of miracle I had been hoping for.I finally reached for it.My fingers felt heavier than they should have as I tore the envelope open and pulled out the report.I scanned the first few lines. Then I saw it.Probability of Paternity: 99.99%.I stopped breathing for a second.I slouched back slowly in my chair, the report still between my fingers.Positive.I was the father.For weeks now, I'd told myself I was prepared for this.Seems I was a liar.A part of me had been praying for the opposite result. I'd imagined opening this report and seeing
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 104: The Woman I'm Becoming
YULIA“So,” Adeline said, narrowing her eyes at me. “How is Russia?”I smiled faintly. “It's going well.”Three weeks in Russia, and I was beginning to understand why people said distance could change a person.I’ve been better at carrying the love without letting it dictate what I did next.I stood on the balcony outside my bedroom, one shoulder resting against the stone railing as I held my phone up for the FaceTime call. I watched the men near the entrance exchange a few words while they patrolled around the place.My mother's mansion was enormous.“That was suspiciously quick,” Adeline muttered, drawing my attention back to our call.“What do you mean?”She raised an eyebrow. “You're telling me you've been in Russia for three weeks and absolutely nothing dramatic has happened?”“Nothing that concerns you.”“Yulia.”I laughed softly. “I mean it. I'm okay, girl.”“Hmm.” She studied me through the screen for several seconds. “So what have you been doing?” she asked.“Mostly staying
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 103: Nothing Without Her
KENDRICKMy project manager was still talking, but I had stopped hearing him several minutes ago.My eyes remained fixed on the documents spread across my desk, though I hadn't absorbed a single word on the page. Numbers, timelines, deliverables, projections—they all blurred together. Normally, I could spend hours dissecting a project down to its smallest detail, but today my mind refused to cooperate.Yulia.Her name had lived in my head for days.I had lost count of how many times I'd called her. Forty? Fifty? Maybe more. Every call ended the same way, straight to voicemail, and every message remained unanswered. I had tried giving her space, convincing myself that she needed time to process everything, but the silence was slowly driving me insane.“Sir!”I blinked and glanced up.My project manager shifted uncomfortably in his chair. “I'm sorry for shouting, but you weren't listening.”I dragged a hand down my face before loosening my tie. “You're right. I'm sorry.”He cleared
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 4: Not Just Him Anymore
KENDRICKI shouldn’t have kissed her. It wasn’t even a kiss worth overthinking—just her cheek, a brief moment of contact that should’ve meant nothing.But it did, and that was the problem.I ruffled my hair, staring blankly at the surveillance analytics displayed across my MacBook’s screen while ab
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 3: The Kiss That Shouldn’t Have Happened
YULIA“This is it?” I asked, glancing around the parking lot filled with cars. “Yes.” Kendrick parked his car and turned to me. “Ever been to a street race?”I shook my head wildly, speechless all of a sudden. His expression barely changed, but his eyes said otherwise . “Then prepare yourself. Yo
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 2: She's Gonna Be A Problem
KENDRICK“What were they thinking, letting her live with you?” Victor asked, leaning back lazily in the chair across from my desk like he owned the space.“Safety.” I shrugged, flipping through the folder in front of me without bothering to look up. “Apparently, her father thinks London will collap
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 1: Close Enough To Burn
YULIA“We’re almost there, baby girl.” My father watched me as I angled towards the side window, lost in my thoughts.“I still can’t believe you eloped and got married.” I glanced at him, and he was smiling.“Well… I can’t be single forever. I’m ready to settle down and spend the rest of my life wi
