In the early morning, Sophia woke up slowly. She gently placed her hand on the man's bare chest beside her and kissed his lips.Graham responded to her kiss with a smile. The night's pleasure had left them both a bit tired."Is James still asleep?" Sophia asked with a seductive smile, her fingers tracing his chest."He won't be awake at this time," Graham replied. He held her hand and brought it to his lips for a kiss. He was genuinely tired and couldn't fathom how a woman could have so much energy, wanting him endlessly every night.She was nothing like Maisie, who always remained quiet, only revealing a pure smile when he saw her.Graham froze. Why was he thinking of Maisie at that moment? He shook his head, feeling like he was going crazy."My dear, what's wrong?""Oh, nothing." Graham forced a smile."By the way, I want to discuss something with you," Sophia said, turning his face to her. "James is growing up, and I think... always having private tutors at home won't work i

"Fat Lawler, this is unacceptable," Sophia objected. "We invested a lot in these mines, hoping for significant profits. Selling them at such a low price now will lead to substantial losses. Moreover, the critical issue is... we still owe money to the bank!""What can you do about it?" Fat Lawler flicked his used cigarette butt into the ashtray, his smile carrying a hint of mockery. "By the way, wasn't this your idea from the beginning? I remember Mr. Bayer wasn't very interested in these two mines, was he?""You..."Fat Lawler's expression became a bit more serious. "Mr. Bayer, you doubt your own judgment and instead believe in a woman who climbed her way up through shameless means. You brought upon yourself the losses you're facing.""What are you saying?!" Sophia stood up suddenly, her eyes blazing with anger.Fat Lawler looked at her sharply, and his subordinates in the room moved closer. Sophia's fiery temper was quickly extinguished."Mr. Bayer, would you like to know who th

"Graham, listen to me!" Sophia panicked, her words a jumbled mess. "I did this for our future! Your parents handed everything over to your sister, but what about us? What about James and me? Didn't you say you'd treat him like your own son? But we have nothing! How are we going to support him?""Shut up!" At that moment, Graham suddenly snapped out of his stupor. It had become clear that Sophia was always talking about how to support her son. What she didn't understand was that he was willing to treat James like his own son because he loved her, not because he owed her."Graham..." Sophia was in tears. "I know what I did was wrong, but I did it for our future. I hoped your parents would think highly of me, that we could get married smoothly, and that we—""That you could take over my family's assets in the future?""You—"Graham roared, "Arya is my own sister! How could you do such a thing behind my back?!"Sophia stood there, stunned. After a while, she screamed, "Graham! Are yo

Daniel reentered Maisie's world and often stayed in her apartment, claiming to watch over and protect her. Despite her attempts to refuse, she eventually relented.While he had to settle for the sofa, he was content with it, believing he could sleep beside her one day. Daniel spent most of his time with Maisie, taking care of household chores and cooking her meals. Now, he truly understood how challenging it had been for her to do these tasks for him before and how much she had loved doing them every day.Sometimes, Maisie watched him bustling around the house, puzzled by inexplicable dreams that haunted her. However, she admitted to feeling more at ease with Daniel around. He provided a different kind of comfort compared to what Graham had offered.In the past, Graham often deferred things, saying, "wait until later", "when there's an opportunity", or "in the future".In contrast, Daniel frequently assured her, saying, "I'm here", "leave it to me", and "don't be afraid". His words

Graham's sense of leaving his body overwhelmed him. He felt weightless, suspended in the emergency room, watching the frantic doctors and his lifeless body below. He sighed, sensing a pending release.His mind remained clear, but he lacked the will to fight for his life.The conflict with Wesley had triggered this predicament.-A few hours earlier.Wesley was already a mess following his divorce from Nicole and had sunk even lower. It was that fateful day that Graham accidentally crossed paths with Wesley while the former was drowning his sorrows in a small bar.A heated argument escalated into a physical brawl.Wesley was sharp-eyed. He swiftly recognized Graham as the heir of the Bayers and used Maisie's situation to taunt him.Enraged, Graham threw a punch. Despite initiating the fight, he was no match for the larger, stronger Wesley, who sent him to the emergency room.-Graham couldn't shake the memory of Wesley's hurtful words."The Bayer heir is nothing special—can't
