A pair of Stuart Weitzman Diamond Stilettos clanked along the marble floor of the Kincaid Group of Companies. Linda moved with ease. Even if she was incensed, she didn't show it. It was hard to tell why she had walked into the company after two months of not setting foot there.She walked on, barely responding to the "good mornings" from the workers.Linda was a fashion goddess, and everyone knew that. From the delicate embroidery that knitted a seamless purple gown, which did nothing but show off the glow from her fresh skin—one of the latest trends off the runway—to the Hermes bag strapped to her hand, which was new-season. Her silver-dyed hair complimented her looks as it fell in neat curls over her shoulder.She took to the corner that led to the CEO's office and caught Shelly bent over Kylian's secretary's desk in an early morning gossip.Brad straightened when he saw her. "Good morning, Mrs. Kincaid."Shelly pulled away from the desk and recoiled in a corner, embarrassed.Linda

Chloe could feel the warmth pumping through her as she held onto Max's broad arm for support and felt her breath leaving her. She gasped for breath, feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of Max's desire. She kissed him passionately, damning every consequence, throwing caution to the wind, and ignoring the discouraging thoughts in her head. Her heart and body were urging her to give in to her desires, and she couldn't resist the intensity of the moment. 'Fuck the consequences!' she said to herself as she decided to relish in this moment of pleasure she'd not experienced in a long time. Max's lips devoured hers in a feverish hunger, his tongue seeking entrance to taste her sweet essence. Chloe couldn't resist the pull of his lips and eagerly opened her mouth to allow his tongue to explore every corner. His hands roamed over the silky skin of her thighs, leaving a trail of heat wherever they touched, sending shivers down her spine. She moaned into his mouth, feeling a familiar warmth

The room's quietness was filled with the swishing sounds of their sexes pleasuring each other. Chloe's moans of ecstasy filled the air, her voice bearing pure, unadulterated bliss as more moisture seeped down her core."God, you feel so amazing; I could die in here, Chloe." A feeling of euphoria enveloped him as he increased his thrusts, his huge erection throbbing harshly in and out of her depths. Both his arms were gently placed on her delicate ones a little above her head, his tongue nibbling teasingly on her earlobe."Max..." She moaned his name, her voice tender and sweet to his ears."I like it when you say my name like that," His right hand clutched the back of her hair while his left hand slid down to her lower abdomen. Gently, his fingers trailed down to pleasure her clit, applying gentle strokes in a circular motion while his shaft maintained a steady rhythm. Her folds clenched. The intensity of his touch sent an uncontrollable sensation through her.Chloe felt a wave of el

Ollie wore a worried look as she stood in front of Chloe's apartment. Her eyes conveyed enough, and she didn't open her mouth to speak."I have been fine," Chloe said, moving away from the door and letting her in. She occupied the couch she had been reading a magazine on. "I told you I'd be alright. There's nothing I can't handle."Ollie settled on one of the couches. "I should have visited; work has been keeping me busy.""And that's what I wanted you to do."Max had contained the situation of her near-suicide event, and the only news around her was her ex-husband's engagement to her cousin, her only relative.Ollie felt sorry for her boss. She knew Chloe was a strong woman who kept her emotions tidy. She would keep up with a contagious smile even if she were hurting."Tell me," Chloe said, wishing to take Ollie's gaze and pitiful thoughts off her. "How has work been? How much progress are we making towards fashion display?"Ollie was excited to tell her how well she had organized th

"What the fuck are these doing with you?"Kylian's right hand shot into the air, holding a brown envelope with a fierce grip. Emma could see his reflection in the mirror and recognize the same envelope she had seen before. The glare on his face made her heart race.She stopped applying the foundation to her face and turned to face Kylian, putting on an innocent expression as if she had no idea what the envelope contained."What are you talking about, hun?" Her voice came tenderly, and she wore a confused expression on her face.Kylian wasn't falling for her gimmicks. "Don't give me that, Emma. I found these in your car; you are the only one who drives that car."Emma bit her lips. She had been reckless to have left the photographs in the car, and with them in Kylian's hand, she had to devise a way to escape being incriminated.She moved her eyes to the envelope, trying to remain calm. "What's in there? I've never seen it before."Kylian snickered in disbelief. He unloaded the contents

The sleek BMW 5 Series came to a halt by the side of the road flanked by trees providing a natural canopy above it. The engine let out a deep sigh as it switched off, its noise slowly dissipating into the serene surroundings. Chloe's curiosity got the better part of her as she glanced out the window, trying to understand why the car was halting in the heart of a residential neighborhood. She had visited Max's place just once before, yet the vista that greeted her was strikingly dissimilar from the one she had observed a few weeks earlier when she stormed out of Max's house. Chloe had been engrossed in her work when Ollie caught her off guard with news that Max had arrived to see her. "I have a surprise for you. I want to take you somewhere," Max disclosed, providing no further details about the undisclosed location they were heading to. Chloe turned her attention back to Max and caught him observing her with an amused expression. His intense gaze was enough to distract her from th

As Chloe and Max made their way through the room, they couldn't help but attract attention. Chloe's evening gown shimmered under the bright lights, and her glowing skin only added to her radiance. The dress hugged her curves in all the right places, leaving little to the imagination. Her ample bosom was perfectly rounded and held in place by the gown, with a tantalizing peek of her cleavage kissing against the v-neck. All eyes were on her; she was the epitome of sultry elegance. Kylian's gaze was fixated on Chloe the moment he saw her, captivated by her beauty. His eyes followed her every move with an intensity that bordered on obsession. He couldn't seem to take his eyes off her. But when he caught sight of her partner, Max, his curiosity only intensified. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. A question lingered in his mind, gnawing at him with an unrelenting fervor: what was Chloe doing with Max? He wondered to himself, his mind racing with questions and insecurities. Th

Chloe skimmed through the designs for the third time that morning. She was grinning with fulfillment.The samples were not the only reason for her smile. Earlier that day, Max had arranged a press conference to officially announce their relationship, following the photos of their date that had circulated online. He kept his promise to show her off to the world, which filled Chloe with a sense of pride and contentment.Chloe lifted her gaze to Ollie. "I have a feeling they will absolutely love it."Ollie shared the same confidence. They had worked so hard to reproduce the designs while working on a new line."We've done so well," Chloe said, standing up. "If we get through this successfully, you all will be getting a treat from me."Ollie grinned. "We'll be waiting for that treat." She moved her eyes to the drafts on the table. "It's about time I submitted this."Chloe was growing more excited with each passing day. The fashion display event was in a couple of weeks—a fortnight away—an

The news was hard to process, and the more she thought about it, the more the mixed feelings of rage and shock grew.What had Ollie just told her?Ollie was still fidgety from the news. It took a significant amount of strength for Chloe to ignore her feelings and try to soothe Ollie."I worked so hard for those designs," Ollie cried. "They were my first work, and I really wanted my parents to be proud of me."Chloe took her hand. "Ollie…Ollie. Look at me." She looked into the teenager's dancing eyes. "This isn't the end, okay?"There was nothing she could do. Emma had won this. And it felt like another stab in a fresh wound. Never had she imagined that Emma would be capable of doing the things she did. First, she took her man. Then she took her designs.She returned her focus to Ollie, who was sitting quietly. "Look. You've got numerous ideas that the world is waiting to see, alright? You can't let this beat you up."Ollie nodded, but Chloe wasn't convinced that she was okay.She held

Max recalled when Chloe had confided in him about her missing designs and how she had suspected they were left at Kylian's house. He also knew how much the upcoming fashion display meant to her; she had been talking about it nonstop. He felt her pain and knew how heartbroken and devastated she must be feeling right now.Max held her tight as she cried, enveloping her in his strong arms. He didn't need words to convey his support and love for her. He just held her, feeling her tears on his shoulder and hoping that his presence was enough to ease her pain."I've always loved Emma," Chloe said between sobs. "We used to be inseparable. I don't know what happened or why she hates me so much."Max ran his fingers through her hair in a gentle manner. "Have you thought about taking legal action? What Emma did is a form of theft, and you have a case against her," he suggested.Chloe sat up, her face still damp with tears. "I don't have any legal claims on those designs, Max. We were going to f
