Serena paused, momentarily surprised. She had intended for him to take the wrap himself."It's delicious," Wilson said, completely at ease. "Hold it a little closer. I'll have another bite."Reluctantly, Serena held the wrap to his lips.The entire drive, Wilson continued to eat this way, casually taking bites. As he finished the last bite, he seemed to accidentally graze her finger with his lips.Serena flinched, a jolt of awareness shooting through her."Did I bite you?" Wilson asked."No," Serena replied. It hadn't hurt, but her fingertip felt strangely warm. The lingering sensation of his lips brought back the memory of their kiss. For someone who usually seemed so laid-back and nonchalant, his kiss had been surprisingly intense.A sudden gust of wind startled her, pulling her from her thoughts. She glanced at Wilson.He was calm, composed. "Your face is flushed," he observed. "I thought you might be warm."Serena said nothing, her mind racing.At the mall, Wilson was abo

"Let's hear it," Wilson said casually. "I haven't got all day.""I need you to invest in Zimmers Corporation," Aaron began, his voice tight. "One of our projects has stalled, and our funding fell through when our investor ran into financial trouble. I'm looking for a new one—""And you thought of me?" Wilson asked."Yes," Aaron admitted. "The project itself is sound. Our company has a history of steady growth. I can assure you—""I'm not interested," Wilson cut him off.Aaron's face stiffened. "Mr. Quade, you haven't even heard the details. At least take a look. Please, just give me a chance."Wilson's gaze remained impassive. "You're talking about Zimmers Corporation's latest unfinished property scandal, aren't you?""It's not exactly—" Aaron tried to explain."Promising buyers fully furnished apartments but handing over bare units instead. Is that not an unfinished project?" Wilson scoffed. "The real estate market has been declining for years. Anyone with foresight is already

"Mr. Quade," Serena said, hurrying to catch up. Her eyes searched his face. "Are you upset?""What makes you think I'm upset?" Wilson countered."It's… obvious," Serena replied.Wilson was silent for a moment. Then, he stopped walking and turned to face her, his gaze intense. "Serena, did you invite me out today to express your gratitude, or was it a setup?"Serena's expression turned sheepish. "You saw through it?" She said apologetically, "Aaron is Laurie's boyfriend, and she's very important to me. I wanted to help her, so I used this as an excuse. I'm sorry.""If you needed my help, you could've just asked me directly. Why lie to me?" Wilson asked."Huh?" Serena was caught off guard. "But we're not that close. You're my boss. It wouldn't be appropriate to just ask you to meet with Aaron and help him out."Great. They had kissed before, yet all he got in return was they were not that close. She certainly had a way of getting under his skin. Serena paused, then asked tenta

"Say something, Justin," Mollie urged. "Are you even listening?""So what?" Justin replied."What?" Mollie was taken aback."Why are you telling me this?" Justin said. Mollie grew anxious. "Justin, why are you being so passive? Didn't you practically beg her to come back? Are you just going to give up that easily? Act like a man and win her back from Wilson!"Justin's voice turned cold. "I don't need you to remind me. She'll come back to me. But I'm curious. When did you become such a champion of my relationship with Serena?"Mollie felt a twinge of guilt. "Can't I support true love?" she offered weakly. "Besides, Serena is still better than Candice. I'd much rather have her as my sister-in-law."More importantly, if Serena got back with Justin, she would have a chance with Wilson. Mollie was the eldest daughter of the Farrow family, and no matter how one looked at it, she was a much more suitable match for him. "This is my business. Stay out of it." Justin then ended the cal

"I already said I'm sorry," Serena said, a slight pout on her lips."Are you giving me the cold shoulder now?" Wilson asked sternly."I wouldn't dare," Serena replied, wiping her fingers with a sanitizing wipe. Her delicate features were tinged with a hint of annoyance.Wilson studied her for a moment, then sighed. "Never mind. You're beautiful. You can ignore me if you want.""Okay…" Serena replied, a little confused.He, however, was the one who relented. "Come with me when you're finished eating."Wilson stood up and walked toward the terrace.Serena followed. A short climb led them to a small observation deck. Leaning against the railing, Serena gazed at the city sprawling below. The streets shimmered like ribbons of light, and the skyscrapers glittered, creating a breathtaking panorama.Wilson pointed to a distinctive high-rise building in the distance. "See that? That's the Farrow Corporation headquarters.""Yeah." She would recognize it anywhere, even if it were reduc

Serena's wrist was as slender and delicate as porcelain, and the watch looked good on her. Wilson clicked his tongue and mused, "Look at that. Your wrist is meant for watches.""Mr. Quade, you shouldn't have given me such an expensive watch…" Serena began."I've been wanting to give it to you but never got around to it. I think we've grown closer, so would you do me a favor and please wear the watch, Serena?" Wilson asked.The watch was one of a pair. Jacob had commissioned the his-and-hers watches as a birthday gift to Wilson. Wilson kept the "his" watch and had been wanting to give the "hers" watch to Serena for a while.Serena felt his burning gaze on her and made to withdraw her hand, but Wilson held it tightly. He even tugged her firmly toward him. She lost her footing and staggered forward, nearly colliding with his chest.He gazed down at her. She breathed in his crisp, pine scent and felt her heart skip several beats. "Mr. Quade, what are you doing?""Don't worry, I won't

That night, Serena dreamed of Wilson's soft, tender gaze pulling her in like a whirlpool.She dreamed of being in his arms as he kissed her. The scene then switched to them being in bed. Wilson pinned her down and moved with a panther-like grace as he claimed her. She had her arms wrapped around his neck as she tried to keep up with him, her breathing as labored as that of a fish out of water.The strange and wild dreams plagued her the entire night.Serena's head was heavy when she woke up the next day. She arrived at work with an iced coffee in hand, only to see Wilson grinning widely at her as he leaned against her desk. "Good morning, Ms. Judd."She went still and asked, "What are you doing here?""I'm waiting for someone.""Who?""You, of course." He walked over to her and leaned close as he said, "I was worried you might be so spooked after last night that you'd catch a midnight train out of the city. I wanted to wait and see if you'd show up at work so I could ease my co

Desiree snorted and stared at the picture of Serena on her screen as if she could bore a hole through it. She had to strike soon. She had never lost out on anything she wanted before, even men. She would not let anyone steal what was hers!After she calmed down, she called the private investigator and said, "Find out who Serena's friends and family are and give me the information once you've sorted it out."Wilson might be untouchable, but Serena was not.…Serena tagged along with Wilson to a hotel for a meeting with his clients.It was already 10:00 pm when the meeting ended. After bidding the business partners goodbye, Wilson headed toward the basement carpark with Serena.They were about to get in the car when they heard what sounded like a scuffle nearby. A woman's voice cut through the air as she cursed aloud, and Serena thought it sounded familiar."Just a moment," she said as she hurried toward the noise and saw a sleazy man tugging on a woman's arm. His behavior bordere

"What the hell is going on?" Ronald's face twisted with anger. He saw the door of the Cullinan swing open.Out stepped Wilson, his every move calm and deliberate.Ronald's expression darkened instantly. Wilson again? The nerve of that bastard, barging right into his house as if he were already dead.Wilson strolled into the room, barely glancing at the others before a faint smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. "Uncle Ronald, what's all this?""Wilson, shouldn't I be asking you that? You drove straight into my house. That's trespassing. What the hell do you think you're doing?" Ronald snapped.Wilson's eyes turned cold. "You're about to kill someone, and you're worried about trespassing?"Ronald sneered. "Are you here to save Willow? I never expected someone cold and heartless like you to actually care about her.""Of course. I'm just emotionally detached, not a monster like you," Wilson said.Ronald nearly choked on his fury. When it came to words, he couldn't match Wilson i

Willow was shaking with rage. "Ronald, you're disgusting. Hitting a woman? You're nothing but trash!""Hah!" Ronald's face twisted with fury. However, instead of lashing out, he suddenly calmed. "I see. No matter what, you still care about the woman who carried you for ten months, don't you? But do you think she cares about you?""What do you mean?" Willow frowned."She's been lying to you this whole time!" He jabbed a finger at Carmen. "This woman has been weak her whole life. She lives to serve me. I tell her to do something, and she does it. No questions asked!"Ever wonder how I found you in the Mardenes so quickly and easily? Your bracelet. There's a tracker inside! You idiot! Do you really believe she loved you?"Let me make this clear. No one has ever loved you. Not since the day you were born!" His voice thundered through the massive villa, every word like a hammer pounding into Willow's chest.Her face went pale. All the strength drained out of her.That one sentence wa

Arthur didn't say a word. He walked up to the table, picked up the pen, and signed his name on the document without hesitation.Ronald took the papers, and the joy on his face was unmistakable. It actually worked! Just like that?Nine percent of Collinsworth Group's shares would make him the biggest shareholder now. Arthur had lost his mind, giving up Collinsworth Group like it was nothing. What a delightful surprise."Let's go, Willow." Arthur reached for Willow's hand and was ready to go. They made it to the door, only to be blocked by two buff bodyguards.Arthur frowned. "What's this?"Ronald gave him a harmless smile. "You can leave. She stays.""Ronald, you promised to let her go once you got the shares!" Arthur rarely raised his voice, but now his anger flared.Ronald snorted. "Let her go? What the hell are you talking about? This is her home. Isn't it normal for her to stay here?"Willow turned around, eyes burning with fury. "You're a liar, Ronald. You're old enough to

"Don't you think this is ridiculous?" Willow's tone dripped with mockery. "My own parents locked me up, treating me like a hostage just to make a deal. And the one who's trying to save me? He's not even related to me by blood. Do you really think you deserve to be my parents?""If Arthur hadn't tricked your dad, he wouldn't have resorted to this… Lo, your last name is Quade. Don't you care that the company's in trouble?" Carmen asked.She laughed coldly. "If Ronald hadn't been so eager to sell off his own daughter, he wouldn't have fallen for it in the first place. I don't just want to see his company struggle. I want it to go bankrupt!"Watching the reputation and wealth he cared about most crumble right in front of him would be real pain. He deserved every second of it!"You're insane. Forget it. I'm done talking to you." Carmen shook her head like she couldn't be bothered anymore.Willow sat alone in the attic. Not long after, one of the housekeepers brought in a bowl of spaghe

At the hospital, Willow stared at the dozens of missed calls flashing on her phone. Her eyes darkened slightly.Arthur had already told her that Ronald's project had blown up. He was bound to be furious, maybe even come looking for her. So, Arthur bought her a plane ticket. He told her to leave town for a while and let the storm pass. He would take care of everything and call her back when it was safe.Willow agreed without hesitation. A little vacation sounded good anyway.She left the hospital, headed straight to the airport, and flew to the Mardenes. That evening, she checked into a six-star hotel. While enjoying a quiet dinner, she heard a sudden commotion outside the room. When she opened the door and saw who was standing there, her heart stopped. It was Ronald.He let out a cold laugh before lunging forward, his hand tightening around her throat as he forced his way inside.Willow had no idea how she had been taken. Ronald knocked her out the moment he entered.When she

There was still no answer. "What's going on with Lo? Why won't she pick up her phone? Honey, is something wrong?"Before Carmen could say more, Ronald's hand shot out. He seized her phone and smashed it violently against the floor.Carmen shrieked in shock. "Honey, what happened?""It's all because of your perfect daughter!" he roared, slapping her hard across the face.Carmen stumbled backward, clutching her cheek as tears welled in her eyes. "What… What did I do? What are you talking about?""Willow, your precious daughter, teamed up with that bastard Arthur to screw me over! The project he handed to me was a damn scam. It just got shut down by the authorities. Do you even know how much money I've lost?" Ronald snapped."Arthur… scammed you?" Carmen was in disbelief."He said it was a prime piece of land with a great location, perfect for a wellness retreat, full of natural resources… and it turned out to be nothing but a fantasy!" Ronald was practically roaring at this point.

By the time Lauren felt her lips start to go numb, Joseph finally pulled away.He braced himself with both hands on either side of her, his eyes still dark with unspent desire. "You done yelling now?" he asked, voice low and hoarse."Get lost!" Lauren shoved him hard, then sat up and tugged at her clothes. "Are you part dog or something? My lips are practically torn up!"He got up from the floor. "Didn't look like you were complaining just now."Lauren froze. She hated to admit it, but it hadn't been bad at all. She had even kind of lost herself in it. If he hadn't stopped when he did, she might've really done it with him right there on the couch.However, pride was a hell of a thing. "So what? You didn't enjoy it?""Yeah, I did…" His eyes locked on her like a hungry wolf.They stared at each other in silence. Then, without warning, Joseph lunged again. The two of them tangled together and kissed wildly.Lauren's fingers instinctively slid across his abs.Joseph let out a low

After a long pause, Lauren finally asked, "Why did you watch the security footage? Did you think I'd steal something from your place?""I woke up this morning on the living room floor and thought it was weird, so I checked the footage. Is that a crime now?" Joseph asked."So… you saw everything?" Lauren asked softly.Joseph blinked innocently. "Saw what? You mean the part where I kissed you?"She covered her face and waved her hand. "Forget it. I know you were drunk. Let's just pretend that never happened…"However, Joseph had no interest in pretending. "Lauren, I already said it last night, but I'll say it again. "I meant it. I like you. I don't even know when it started, but you're not like the others. I started this company because you encouraged me. I wanted to make it work because I wanted your approval.

They said the bull tires out, not the field. But this field was about done. Serena slept like a log until noon the next day. While Wilson was in the shower, Serena called Lauren. "Laurie.""Damn, you sound wrecked. What happened to you last night?" Lauren asked."You're really asking?" Serena replied flatly."How long did he go at it?" Lauren asked.There was a moment of silence. Then Serena finally muttered two words. "All night.""Holy shit! That man's got the strength of ten bulls. If he's that energetic, maybe he should come plow two acres at my grandma's!" Lauren said. Then, in a more apologetic tone, "Rina, it's all my fault. Wilson's such a brute. He should've been gentler with a woman like you…""I'm fine. Anyway, what about you and Joseph? Have you figured out how to turn him down yet?" Serena asked.Lauren sighed. "I'm planning to quit. There's no way I can keep seeing him every day. It's just too awkward.""Alright. Handle it however you see fit," Serena said.A
