Paige knew Mandy probably did not like her, but Mandy was a true lady. Despite her feelings for Paige, Mandy would always remain courteous. In fact, Paige had an idea why Mandy did not like her. Liam’s family and Frank’s family did not get along. Since Paige was Chris’ sister-in-law at the time, Paige was naturally on Chris’ side. That was the reason Mandy did not like her. “Chris, Paige,” Mandy greeted them with a smile. Even though both families were feuding, their fighting was only behind closed doors. They presented themselves as one big happy family on the surface. Chris gave a nod and took his seat. Paige sat next to Chris. Soon, the household help began food service. The household helpers served each of them different food items. “Ma’am, let us know your preference, and we will prepare your meals accordingly,” the domestic help told Paige with a smile. Paige nodded her head in acknowledgment. She glanced at the plate in front of Chris. Chris had smoked haddoc

Paige’s fidgeting startled Chris awake. He opened his eyes and looked at her, his hands up to no good. She blushed. “I-I have class today…” Paige said, deflecting his advances. Chris looked at the clock on the wall. It was 7:00 AM. He nibbled her ear and said, “We have time.” Paige had no words. …Paige and Chris went downstairs for breakfast. Chris walked ahead while Paige followed behind him with an embarrassed face. Most of the family members were there by the time they got to the dining room. The Jewells had strict house rules. Everyone had to be home no matter how late unless they were away on business. They would enjoy breakfast together as a family.It was a rule set by Zander. All family members had to abide by the rule. Paige and Chris wished everybody a good morning before taking their seats at the dining table. With Zander present, the family enjoyed a pleasant breakfast together. They appeared close-knit and happy. After breakfast, Paige went back to

To Sierra, James was the perfect man. Sierra loved James's considerate and gentlemanly side and was also secretly drawn to his roughness in bed.Sierra was blown away by James's lingering kiss.James released her and hissed through clenched teeth, his eyes smoldering. “You’re so hot.” Sierra felt weak in the knees. …The curtains opened a while later. James, still fully dressed, put his arm around Sierra’s waist and left. Sierra’s face was flushed, and her lips bore teeth marks. She kept her head down, not wanting to look around. She wondered if anyone had heard them. She had bit her lip to stifle her moans, but some sounds had escaped her lips. They left the café, and James took Sierra to a hotel. Once there, they eagerly held each other. Through James’ rough motion, Sierra felt her heart slowly settle into place. She could feel James’ love. At the very least, she was not left with nothing. She still had James. Sierra did not lose out on much with James on her side

Paige was confused when Annabelle suddenly stopped talking. Then, a familiar voice caught her attention. “Are you finished with dinner?” Paige froze. It was Chris’ voice. Did Chris come over? Did he recognize her? Paige had her back facing him. How did he manage to tell it was her? Maybe Chris saw her when she first entered the restaurant. Paige slowly rose to her feet and turned around. She looked at Chris, who was a few feet away, and said with a smile, “Are you dining here too?” Chris smirked at Paige. The girl was putting up a show in front of him. “Yeah.” Chris nodded. Paige was in an awkward position. Chris could have just left after his dinner. Why did he have to come up to her? Was he trying to brag about his lover? It could be the beginning of his revenge. Since the Quirks had disgraced Chris, Paige had been worried about his payback. However, Chris had not made any moves in the few days they had been married, which made Paige on edge. Now, Chris’ r

Silence ensued. Chris looked at Paige as she quietly wept. His head felt as if it was about to explode. The experience was new for him. Like many men would react to women's tears, he felt paralyzed.Should he offer her solace? Chris thought back about the scene from a TV series he had watched occasionally. In the scene, the man held the weeping woman and said in a gentle voice, “Don’t cry, my love. You’re my angel, my sweetheart, my baby. My heart breaks when you cry.” Though, Chris could not bring himself to talk in such a way. “Don’t cry,” Chris said, his brows furrowed. Paige lifted her tear-stained face and looked at Chris’ frown. His expression only hurt her more. She was sad that he not only did not comfort her but also seemed annoyed by her crying.She closed her mouth and drew a deep breath before frantically wiping the tears off her face with the back of her hand. Why should she play along with the man? Why should she cry for him? He must be delighted that
