NOLANIt wasn't a date," she snapped, her eyes flashing defiance. "And even if it was, it wouldn't change anything.""Ask Chloe about it," she said, her gaze hardening."Chloe?" I repeated, bewildered. "What does Chloe have to do with this?"A ghost of a smile played on her lips, fleeting but sharp. "She just happened to show up at Brad's house that night," she said, her voice a husky whisper before she turned and walked away.I knew I had to be at the board meeting. Today was the day they voted to see if I kept my position as CEO or if my loathsome stepbrother Brad took over. But first, I needed to get to the bottom of this. Chloe. What the hell was she doing at Brad’s house?I got into my car and drove home to the Westbrook Mansion. My hands gripped the steering wheel tighter than usual, knuckles white with suppressed anger. Chloe and I were on the verge of separation and divorce, but that didn't mean I didn't have the right to know what she was doing.I entered the mansion, the fam

CHAPTER 92CHLOEFEW HOURS AGOBrad's smug self-righteousness was starting to wear thin. His little act of the devoted "almost family man" with Alanna reeked of desperation and it wouldn't be long before someone saw through the facade. He was playing his own game, manipulating everyone like puppets on a string. And me? Well, I wasn't about to be another pawn in his twisted chess match.Across the plush hotel room table, Lucas fiddled with his cufflinks, a frown creasing his handsome face. "Chloe, this is a bad idea," he muttered, his voice laced with nervous energy.A low chuckle escaped my lips. "Nonsense, darling," I purred, leaning closer. The scent of his expensive cologne tickled my nose, a heady mix of confidence and something more primal. "This is exactly what we need.""Buying shares from the Westbrooks? That's practically poking a sleeping bear with a rusty spoon." He shot me a wary glance. "My mother, the Vogue Lady, will have my head."A sharp laugh erupted from me. "Mama'

ALANNAI sit in the boardroom, my stomach churning with a mix of guilt and sorrow. The room buzzes with excitement, everyone congratulating Brad. His smile is wide, a picture of fulfillment. I can’t stand that I’m not happy for him, especially since he’s always been so kind to me. But my heart aches for Nolan. He lost the CEO position because he moved the launch date for my fashion show. It was all my fault.Brad catches my eye, and I force myself to approach him. My steps feel heavy, my insides twisting with dread. “Congratulations,” I mutter, the words tasting bitter on my tongue.Mrs. Raina’s laugh cuts through the air, sharp and derisive. “Quit being a hypocrite, Alanna. We all know you wanted Nolan to win.”I feel a flush of anger rise, ready to snap back, but Brad intervenes. “It’s fine, Alanna. I’m sure you made the decision you thought was best.”Mrs. Raina’s smirk widens. “Of course, she did. She chose the man she’s having an affair with.”The words sting like a slap. I can’

ALANNAI was lying in my bed, my mind still racing from the events of the day when I heard the door to my room creak open. I sat up, startled, and asked, "Nolan, what are you doing here? And who let you in?"He gave me a sheepish grin and replied, "Angela did. I couldn't stop thinking about you after the cafe, and I had to see you."I felt a flush of excitement run through me at his words. I couldn't deny that I had been thinking about him too. But I had to remind him, "You're not divorced yet. You're still married to Chloe."He stepped closer to me, his eyes burning with desire. "I can't wait for that," he said, pulling me to him. His lips crashed into mine, and I kissed him back, my reservations melting away.His hands roamed over my body, and I could feel his erection pressing against me. He began removing my nightdress, his eyes dark with desire as he took in my naked form. "You're so sexy," he murmured, his lips finding mine again.He trailed kisses down my neck, nibbling on my e

CHAPTER 96ALANNAI tuck the kids into bed, feeling lighter than I have in ages. Introducing Nolan to Lucy and Lucas went better than I could have hoped. Their curious questions continue as I pull the covers up around them.“Why didn’t you tell Nolan about us before?” Lucy asks, her big eyes searching mine for answers.“It wasn’t the right time, sweetheart,” I say gently. “I wanted to wait until it was perfect.”“Will Nolan keep coming?” Lucas asks, his voice small but hopeful.“Yes, he will,” I promise, smoothing his hair.“What is Nolan like?” Lucy’s question catches me off guard.I find myself smiling. “He’s strong and determined. But he’s also very sweet and caring. He makes me laugh.”As I speak, I realize how much I still care for him. My heart swells, but a nagging voice reminds me that he’s still married. I kiss the kids goodnight, whispering my love for them, and head downstairs.In the living room, Angela is lounging in her nightwear, a glass of wine in her hand. She looks u
