Trying to directly sabotage Jessica’s relationship with her son by physically separating them and placing Kai next to someone she was well aware was only after the family fortune?It was just a chair, a place at the table, but it spoke volumes that she wanted Eloise at Kai’s side instead of her. His mate. His own girlfriend.But knowing that Kai stood up to her and that Augustine hadn’t even bothered to change the seating warmed his heart too. There were some good people here, she just had to look. “Thank you.”Augustine shrugged. “It’s not a big deal.”“It is to me,” Jessica said, unsure what she would do without Kai by her side during the night. “Alright, where were we?” René asked, rejoining them and passing Augustine a glass with a dark liquid and two ice cubes. “Cocktail party,” Augustine filled her in, scooting over so René would sit next to h

She laid her head between her knees, hands locked and pressing down on the back of her head, trying to keep herself steady. She wasn’t going to cry. She wasn’t going to cry. Breathe.She just needed a moment.Faintly, in the back of her head she recalled Kai’s words from earlier: If you’re uncomfortable, just tell me, okay?Jessica could picture Kai’s concerned expression in her mind like it was right in front of her. Her boyfriend who assured her they could leave at any time if she was uncomfortable, who curved conversations to protect Jessica from the harsh words of her family, who tactfully kept her around the people who wouldn’t hurt her if given the chance. She knew if she asked Kai to leave, he would in a heartbeat. If she told him the truth of how she was feeling, he would come with her with no further questions,

He hurried inside with a nod, rushing through the long corridor, climbing the spiral staircases that led him to the second floor of the mansion. His foot quickly swallowed the distance, his boots clicking on the marbled floor with urgency.The boss would be having his breakfast in his office at this time of the morning. He broke through the door with a quick succession of knocks to announce his presence.Maverick Leonard, looked up from his coffee mug. He was a handsome man in his early thirties. His black hair

One moment, Chanel was walking to the doctor's office and the next she was summoned by her brother's urgent call for help. Her distressed peppermint scent was all over the place.Mane Yves, a man who never bowed down to anyone in his life, a man who was so fearless looked so pale as he lay unconscious on Aire’s lap. The doctors had jumped into action immediately. She had to reign in her emotions as her phone blared non-stop. She assured her parents that Valentino and Saint were fine and stopped them from visiting the hospital.The hospital security was already in question and with the team responsible to guard Valentino and Saint was still out of commission they were outnumbered. Chanel never felt so helpless in her life before. The media and public were gathered in front of the hospital and there was no way one could get in or get out without being mobbed.Her pa

She blinked heavily, sitting up as she saw Kai putting toppings on two plates of waffles that were precariously balanced on the tv stand. When Kai noticed she was awake, he smiled at her, abandoning the waffles and walking over to press a kiss to her forehead.“Good morning,” he said, running his hands through Jessica’s hair, detangling a few sections with his fingers that had gotten caught during the time Jessica slept. “Did you sleep well?” “Yeah.
