"Mrs. Autio, what did he just call you?" Haley asked from next to them, covering her mouth as her eyes widened and gleamed with mischief. "Aunt Em?" Her voice wavered a little. "You never mentioned having a nephew surnamed Kreg?”

Lifting his still-dripping spatula, Jules fiercely stabbed Rhett’s pricey suit with a grease smear.

"Ley, this bastard even lied about his real name," he yelled. “In reality, he is—“

Rhett cleared his throat abruptly.

His pupils contracted. He reached inside the fr

    The formal dinner started. On behalf of the organizers, Rhett gave the introductory speech. The foreign clientele responded favorably to his succinct and impactful message. A small, icy smirk played at the corner of his mouth as he spoke, his eyes darting momentarily to Eleanor. Eleanor saw nothing. Her gaze, full of admiration and infatuation, was concentrated on the man in charge of the stage. Rhett was a man deserving of standing next to her. The calm, effortless authority he exuded on stage was what most impressed her. Even though he was young, he had a presence that few people could match; the room seemed to become his domain as soon as he stood there. Following Rhett’s introductory words, Eleanor, representing the D’Souza family, walked the stage to show the clients their project plans. She exuded confidence, composure, and professionalism, and her competence was undeniable. Kitty sat next to Morgana Kruk, Eleanor’s mother, in the crowd. Kitty observed Eleanor

    However, since Haley was Queen’s own niece and he was her fiancé, it was best for her to choose the right side. Queen straightened her stance when he sat down again, as if she were a subordinate reporting to a superior. She realized then why Jason was both proud and cautious while discussing about Rhett. This young man's position in the corporate world was well-deserved. "You can ask me anything. I'll tell you everything.” Her speech took on a hint of reverence. "Oh, Mr. Fez, Rhett, Ley is lucky to have met a man like you. similar to how my sister got married." Rhett spoke in a chilly tone and got right to the point. "You were put up to this by someone. Who?" Queen bowed her head in deference. "I'll tell the truth. Three months ago, Eleanor D’Souza came up to me. I got my instructions from her.” Her voice faltered as she tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. "I had no intention of upsetting your family, Mr. Fez. I was in a bad situation. My debt is overwhelming me. My son is in

    Rhett’s heart was aroused by the realization—it felt good to be taken care of in this way. He looked intently into her eyes and arched an eyebrow. "Haley, you're thoughtful." "This is nothing compare to what you’ve done for me,” She had a soft smile. "Love is reciprocal.“ His chest filled with emotion. "Ley..." he said, reaching for her wrist and pulling her tenderly into his arms. With unmistakable affection in his eyes, he gazed down at her. "Moments like this make me believe that spending my life with you will be something truly wonderful." Reaching up, Haley traced his wrinkled brow with her fingertips before planting a gentle kiss on his cheek. “However, when you entered, you appeared agitated. You can also tell me what's on your mind, Rhett." His eyelashes quivered a little. He had never confided in anyone and had always carried his family's worries alone. For the first time, though, her kind words made him want to. Nevertheless, he refrained. "Nothing important,"

    "Your brothers arrived long ago. You're the last to arrive even though you live closest! You resemble your dad exactly." He hadn't even had time to pull off his shoes. Rhett raised his head, his eyes icy. "Say what you need to say. Stop acting crazy." With her hair unkempt and her laughing unnerving, Kitty yelled. "Insane? Look at the woman your father has been seeing, Rhett.” "You father and son are truly cut from the same cloth—even your taste in women is identical." He froze. This was how it was all the time. Every error his father made and every disruption in this household somehow came back to him. It became a hardship for him. Roy and Riven, his twin brothers, sat on either side of their mother, one giving her warm water and the other giving her a kind pat on the back. Their stances remained unchanged. Like flawless guardian angels, they were always closest to her and banded together to oppose him. Three faces that are so alike. Rhett felt choked by them. As an outsi

    Rhett gave a quiet smile. "Is that sufficient for you? You're overly content." Haley raised her head, perplexed. "Is it insufficient? What more is there?” He took her hand tenderly. "Not even near. I'll show you what I mean eventually, but I'm not very good with words." Her chest began to warm up. She experienced the melting of another layer of ice surrounding her heart at that very instant. …. Eleanor pulled open the door at the same moment and saw her father sitting on the couch, looking gloomy. She reflexively recoiled from the oppressive environment. She hesitantly walked over and bowed a little. "Dad, why aren't you asleep yet?" Julius D’Souza raised his head, his eyes penetrating. "Kneel." Without hesitation, Eleanor fell to her knees. "Father, what... what's wrong?" "How dare you ask!" He angrily gestured at her. "Rhett flatly refused you despite your assurances that you could get married to him. You burnt through millions and have nothing to show for your promise to

    "I am aware. I am aware that nothing occurred between you. I've already taken care of everything, so don't worry. Simply relax. We'll chat once you're feeling better." The effects of the medicine were still being felt. Haley’s thoughts remained foggy. But she felt instantly at ease when she heard his well-known voice and felt his warm touch on hers. Maybe there was something in the IV to put her to sleep. She soon fell asleep once more. Unconsciously nuzzling Rhett’s fingers, she resembled a stray cat that had survived a storm and eventually found a warm home, her face still bearing remnants of dread. Her lashes quivered like fragile wings even while she slept. Rhett’s brow was still wrinkled. He gave her a gentle pat on the back. He hated Eleanor more and more every time he thought of her. His phone rang at that moment. The screen flashed Eleanor’s name. Rhett’s jaw clenched. He answered in a cautiously neutral tone as he moved into the corridor. "What is it?" Eleanor said in a

    Kieran came back by dusk with a dish of plain meals. "Haley," he asked placing it on the bedside table and standing with his back to her for a little before turning around, "did you really push Riley?" His voice was clearly irritated. Haley lowered her gaze. "Yes." His voice became harsher. "

    Haley grinned bitterly. With her nails digging into her palms, her speech was hardly audible. "All right. Whatever you say.One thought crystallized in her thoughts with a terrifying clarity. Just few days.Few days. That's all that remains.You want the house? The man? The business? It'll be all y

    Then Haley heard a voice she recognized. "I apologize, Lydia," Kieran murmured in a quiet, personal voice. "Haley’s appearance surprised me too. I'm sorry you had to deal with it.”Lydia has a beautiful, syrupy voice. "I'm accustomed to that by now, so it's okay. But Haley will be angry since you'v

    With a fixed smile, Haley looked around before calmly focusing on Kieran. "You still weren't home," she remarked softly. "I wanted to check in. Are you finished now? You mentioned working late."Darling, perfect timing," Kieran blurted out. "Lydia recently closed a billion-dollar contract with the
