“Your arrogance won’t get you anywhere,” Liam said, the grin gone from his face. “It’s only been a week since our divorce, and from what I see, you’re not exactly thriving.”

Natalie turned back, slow and steady, eyes glinting.

“Mr. Brooks, am I missing something—” her tone dropped to something cooler, silkier, “or are you suddenly more invested in my personal life than your current relationship?”

Charlotte’s brows lifted, clearly caught off guard.

Liam’s jaw tightened. “Please, move to the side, you’re blocking the way”. The security guard said.

Natalie was about to call Noah again when she heard his voice.

“Natalie,” Noah’s voice cut sharply through the air as he strode forward.

“Mr. Sinclair.” The security guard straightened instantly, bowing in respect.

“Where’s the head of security?” Noah snapped, fury flickering in his eyes.

“Sir, I— I’m sorry…”

“I asked you a question. Call him. Now.”

The guard swallowed hard and scrambled to obey. Within minutes, two more guards appeared, ten

    Natalie frowned. Normally, Liam would come up with any excuse to avoid taking her to his father’s. Now he was at her doorstep asking her to come along?“Are you sick in the head?” she snapped. “Why don’t you take your mistress instead?”Liam’s expression hardened. “Stop calling Charlotte that.”“Why? That’s what she is.” Natalie folded her arms. “You used to lie to them just to keep me away, claimed I was sick, busy, out of town. Now suddenly they want me back and you come running like a delivery boy? Haven’t you told them we’re divorced?”He looked away for half a second, jaw tight. “My father and grandmother insisted on seeing you. Believe me, I didn’t come here because I wanted to. But maybe you’re too busy entertaining your boy toy to listen.”Her eyes narrowed. “You’ve got a lot of nerve, Liam.”“And you’ve got a lot of audacity to act like the victim. Father and grandmother have always treated you well, now that you have gotten a few new toys to play with. You suddenly forgot ab

    “Who called?” Natalie asked, drying her hands on a towel as she stepped into the room. Jason glanced up from the sofa, phone in hand. “Someone named Mark. Said he was calling from Mr. Brooks’ office.” She froze for a moment, her fingers tightening slightly on the towel. “Mark?” she echoed, frowning. “Did Liam tell him to call?” Jason handed her the phone, shrugging. “Didn’t say. Just asked for you.” Natalie sighed as she stared at her phone. Her thumb hovered over the screen, debating whether to call back or ignore it altogether. Jason nudged her with his shoulder. “So… you’re gonna call him back?” “No,” she said, dropping the phone onto the cushion beside her. “If Liam wants to talk, he can grow up and do it himself instead of hiding behind his assistant.” Jason whistled low. “Cold.” “It’s not cold,” she muttered. “It’s boundaries.” He smirked. “Says the woman who cried over him for three months straight.” Natalie gave him a dry look. “Do you want lunch or not?” “Fair enoug

    He jogged back downstairs, only to freeze when he saw a pile of packed boxes near the entryway—her things.“What’s all this?” he demanded.His mother glanced up, her arms crossed. “Getting rid of that woman’s belongings. Knowing her, she’ll find any excuse to come back. It’s better to throw them out or burn them than let them stay here.”“Mother,” he said sharply, jaw tight. “There’s no need for this. Have someone take them back to my room.”His mother’s expression darkened. “Why? You’ve already divorced her. What do you need her things for? What do you think Charlotte will say when she sees her fiancé holding onto his ex-wife’s belongings?”Liam’s brows drew together. His voice dropped, cold and clipped. “What are you talking about?”She blinked. “Your marriage to Charlotte, of course—”“Who said anything about marrying Charlotte?”She looked stunned for a moment. “Liam… don’t be ridiculous. You’ve known her since you were children. Her family’s supported ours for years—”“Enough,” L

    Liam forced a smile and stood up to greet him. “Since you want it, you can bid for it”. The man smiled and went straight to the empty seat beside Natalie. Natalie bowed her head in guilt. “No further bids,” the auctioneer said finally, clearing his throat. “Going once… going twice… Sold to Mr Jackson Vallister”. “There is no need to lower your eyes, afterall I can’t do anything”. Jackson mocked. “Brother…”. “Don’t brother me”. The auctioneer clapped his hands, signaling the next lot.“Our final item today is a masterpiece from none other than our renowned artist, Noah Sinclair.”“And to sweeten the deal,” the auctioneer continued with a sly smile, “Mr. Sinclair has generously added a little extra: whoever wins this painting will also receive two dates with the artist himself.”The room erupted into cheers and whispers, the energy electric with excitement.Bidding paddles shot up like fireworks the moment the auctioneer opened the floor.“Starting bid: one million,” he announced.

    On the day of Noah’s art exhibition, Natalie took her time getting ready. Her makeup was light and natural—just a touch of color on her cheeks and a soft sheen on her lips. She wore her hair in a loose braid over one shoulder, with a few wisps left free to gently frame her face. Her dress was a deep, muted red—simple in design, with short sleeves. She was just about to text Noah that she was ready when his message came through.“Baby, I’m so sorry, but something came up. I won’t be able to pick you up personally. I’ve already sent my driver. Really sorry. Let me know if you still feel like going.”Still feel like going?Of course she did. Why the hell would she spend over two hours doing her hair, makeup, and picking out the perfect dress, only to stay home?“Sure. I’ll go with your driver.”“Thank you. Your brother’s also on his way—you’ll probably arrive together or run into him there. So you won’t be bored till I get there.”“No problem.”A few seconds passed before another messa
