The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 79: A Night To Celebrate
KENDRICKThe quarterly project review had gone on longer than I expected. I sat behind my desk, one hand resting against the arm of my chair while the project manager stood across from me with his iPad. The afternoon light streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long shadows across the office.My attention remained fixed on the figures displayed on the screen.“The development team has completed the second round of testing,” he explained. “We're still within the projected timeline, but there are a few areas that require additional resources before we move into the final phase.”I nodded slowly. “Which areas?”“Cloud infrastructure and security testing. If we increase the testing team by two people, we should be able to make up for the lost time without affecting the quality of the final product.”I leaned forward, scanning the numbers again. “How much additional funding?”“Sixty-two thousand pounds, Sir.”“Do it.”“Okay.” He made a note on his tablet right away. “We'll
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 78: What Could Go Wrong
YULIAMy phone buzzed just as I finished highlighting another section of my notes. I cheesed, feeling excited as I saw Kendrick's name flash across the screen.It’s been three weeks since I last saw him. I’ve missed my man.I picked up, grinning. “Hi, baby!”“Hey, Peaches.” His deep voice pulled me in more on our call. “How's the studying going?” he asked.Just hearing his voice eased the tension in my shoulders.I leaned back in my chair and looked at the mountain of books surrounding me, replying, “Good. I think.”He chuckled. “That doesn't sound very convincing.”I sighed heavily. “I'm tired, Kendrick. I've been reading for what feels like my entire life.”“You've been saying that for the last two weeks since you started.”“Because it's true.”He laughed softly. I heard sounds in the background like he was moving around.I spun my pen between my fingers. “But seriously, I'm doing okay. I just have one last paper left, and then I'm done.”He hummed in agreement. “That’s good.”“Yes!
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 77: The Trouble With Celeste
KENDRICKLanding back in London, I could already tell Yulia wasn't ready for the trip to end. She sat beside me in the back of the car, staring out the window with the most miserable expression I'd seen all morning. Her arms were folded across her chest, and every few minutes, she'd let out a dramatic sigh as though the universe had personally offended her by making us return to reality.I glanced at her again and chuckled at her childishness. “Cheer up, Peaches.”She slowly turned toward me, her lips still pushed into that adorable pout. “Yeah, right. Back to reality.”I kissed her cheek, feeling the softness of her skin. “I'll leave you to finish your final exams, and after that, you're all mine to spoil.”She gave me a skeptical look. “You've already done enough.”I laughed. “Yeah, but there's more to go.”She tried to suppress her smile before eventually giving up and leaning her head against my shoulder. I wrapped an arm around her, enveloped in solemn silence as Edwin drove us
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 76: Lost In You
YULIAThe elevator doors slid shut behind us, and Kendrick immediately pulled closer, kissing my temple. I sighed in contentment.I tipped my head to peer into his grey eyes. “Thank you for bringing me here. I needed the change of scenery. I didn't realize how badly until we got here.”He nodded, massaging my hips as he talked. “I knew you needed it. Me too.”“I can't believe our little vacation is already over.” My lips pushed into a pout. “It went by too quickly. I don't want to go back to reality.”Kendrick chuckled, gently pulling at my hair. “Then we'll have another little getaway.”“When?” I asked, feeling excited.“After you finish school.”My eyebrows lifted. “You're serious?”“Very.”I couldn’t help but simper. I was on cloud nine.Kendrick bent down and scooped me into his arms when the elevator chimed. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he carried me through the open elevator doors.He carried me toward our suite. He stared at me, and I held onto his gaze, which made us s
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 75: Under the Sparkling Lights
YULIAThe warm Los Angeles air greeted us the moment we stepped out of the cathedral. I looped my arm through Kendrick’s as we made our way toward our car.The wedding ceremony had been beautiful, elegant, and so emotional.Seeing Marion standing at the altar with that look on his face when Demetria walked toward him had made something inside me ache in the sweetest way.Kendrick seemed unusually quiet as we drove toward the reception.I glanced at him. “What are you thinking about?”His eyes shifted toward me. “Nothing.”I squinted at him like he was hiding something. “That is never true.”A smile broke across his face. “You were beautiful during the ceremony.”My cheeks warmed. “You already told me that.”“I can tell you again.”I rolled my eyes, but I couldn't stop myself from smiling.A short while later, the car pulled up in front of the Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles. The grand building immediately caught my attention.The historic architecture was breathtaking, with its
The Wrong Kind Of Love CHAPTER 74: The Thought of Forever
KENDRICKI stood behind Yulia, watching her adjust her dress in front of the mirror. I'd been pretending to be patient for the past twenty minutes. I wasn't. Not even close.She looked incredible.The knee-length dress hugged her figure perfectly, elegant without trying too hard. Her blonde hair fell beautifully around her shoulders, and the subtle makeup only made her natural features stand out more.I stepped closer, settling my hands around her waist.She glanced at me through the mirror, as if she knew I was up to something suspicious. “What now?”I smirked mischievously, biting her earlobe. “You're looking stunning, Peaches.”She blushed; a smile immediately appeared on her lips. “Thank you.”I pivoted her slightly toward me and kissed her softly.She smiled against my lips before pulling away. “I still have to finish.”“I noticed.”She laughed under her breath and turned back toward the mirror. I watched as she carefully fastened her earrings.Once she was satisfied, she reached
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
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 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
