The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 69: The Album
YULIAThe first thing I noticed when the gates opened was the security. Two men stood on either side of the entrance, dressed in dark suits and earpieces. Another was stationed near the main house, speaking quietly into a phone.This wasn't just a wealthy family home. It felt guarded and protected.The black armored Escalade carrying me rolled through the enormous iron gates and continued up a long, winding driveway lined with perfectly trimmed hedges. Tall trees stood on either side, their branches moving gently in the afternoon breeze.Then the house came into view as I stared through the window. It was beautiful. Massive, elegant, and unmistakably expensive.The architecture had a European grandeur to it, with pale stone walls, tall arched windows, dark roofing, and elaborate columns framing the entrance. A large circular fountain stood in the centre of the driveway, water cascading from a sculpted marble centerpiece.The gardens stretched farther than I could see. For a moment, I
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 68: The Other Family
YULIA“So… are you ready to call her?” Adeline asked, watching me like I might change my mind.I’d told her everything. It had been two days since my mother’s surprise visit, and I’d finally made up my mind to see her tomorrow.“Yeah,” I breathed, rubbing my hands over my thighs. “I just… I’m nervous.”“Girl, relax.” She tipped her head, giving me an encouraging look. “I’m sure she’s probably just as nervous, waiting for you to call.”She tipped her head, gesturing to my phone. “Go on. Call her.”With the card in my left hand, I picked up my phone with my other hand, my fingers hovering over the screen.Adeline watched silently. “You're not backing out now,” she warned.I took a breath and typed the number. Then I pressed call. I put the phone on speaker and placed it on the desk between us. The phone rang for a while, then her voice came through.“Hello?”I gulped. “Uhh… hi.” My voice sounded embarrassingly small. “It’s me, Yulia.”My mother’s entire tone changed. “Yulia!” Excitemen
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 67: The Comfort Between Us
KENDRICKI arrived at the penthouse before Yulia. I was already on the road when she texted me. The moment she stepped into the living room, I knew something was wrong.The look on her face said everything. My Peaches was troubled.She didn't even hesitate. She rushed into my arms, and I caught her easily as she wrapped her legs around my waist. I carried her to the couch and sat down, keeping her close.For a while, neither of us said anything.I simply held her, letting her warmth and presence remind me that she was here. It was just yesterday she left, but I still found myself missing her.I was glad she wanted to see me. The day at the office had been exhausting. But this? This was what I needed too.After a while, I pressed a kiss into her hair and whispered, “Do you want to talk about it?”She pulled back, her eyes met mine, and there was something there I couldn't quite place. Confusion. Pain. Shock.“My mother is back.”I froze. For a moment, I wasn't sure I heard correctly. “
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 66: The Truth She Hid
YULIATime stopped. Every muscle in me seized. I couldn't move. I just stood there, staring at the woman who had appeared in my father's house like sixteen years hadn't passed.It felt like she’d never gone. Like I hadn't spent all those years wondering if she ever thought about me.“Yulia…” Her voice broke slightly when she said my name.I looked away immediately. “Dad.” My voice was sharper than I intended. “What is she doing here?”My father didn't answer immediately. The sadness in his eyes made my chest tighten.“Baby girl… listen—”“No.” I shook my head, pointing toward the woman standing a few feet away. “Why is she here?”The woman looked hurt, but I refused to let myself feel sorry for her. Not yet. Not after everything.My father swallowed. “She's your mother, Yulia.”The words hit me harder than I expected, but I refused to hear him.“No, she's not!”Silence filled the room.My father's face changed. “Yulia—”“She is not my mother!” My voice cracked. “A mother doesn't disap
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 65: The Past Comes Knocking
YULIAThe soft glow of my desk lamp was the only light in my bedroom. Outside, the city had settled into its usual nighttime rhythm. The distant hum of traffic drifted through the slightly opened window while a gentle breeze stirred the sheer curtains.My laptop sat open beside a stack of law textbooks, highlighted notes, and case summaries. An empty mug of chamomile tea rested dangerously close to my notebook.I adjusted my reading glasses and sighed. “R v Dudley and Stephens…”I underlined another paragraph before jotting down a few points in my notebook. Final examinations were only a few weeks away, and I refused to let anything distract me.My phone buzzed across the desk.Kendrick – FaceTimeI grinned from ear to ear. “Hi, Lord Fernsby.”The screen lit up with Kendrick's face. The first thing he did was smirk as always.“Well…” he murmured. “Would you look at that.”I pulled a face, confused. “What?”“Those glasses.” His smirk widened. “You somehow managed to make reading glasse
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 64: A Chance to Breathe
KENDRICK“Good morning, everyone,” I said as I entered the conference room. The chatter inside faded almost immediately.Twenty pairs of eyes shifted toward me as I stepped to the head of the long walnut conference table. I rested both palms on the table. “Let's get started.”The low hum of laptops opening filled the room as everyone settled into their seats. Some glanced at the screen while others flipped through printed reports, their expressions focused. This project had become the company's biggest priority, and everyone in the room knew what was riding on its success.The large screen behind me lit up, displaying the title of our newest project.PROJECT NOVAA next-generation cybersecurity application designed to provide real-time digital threat detection for businesses and private users.It had taken months of planning. Now came the hard part: building it.“I want progress updates from each department.”The product manager stood first. “We're ahead of schedule on interface des
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
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 5: Feeling The Moment
YULIA“So you’re telling me that you’re living with the Kendrick Fernsby?” Adeline asked dramatically, raising both hands to make quotation marks in the air. I laughed, taking another sip of my pineapple smoothie. I had decided to meet her at The Good Life Eatery because their smoothies were ridic
