Seize the Opportunity?

Vanessa took the box with confusion and opened it, momentarily stunned.“Are you still keeping this?”As the green light turned on, Luca started the car.“I didn’t expect you to remember it,” he said, a hint of surprise in his voice.How could she forget this necklace? It was the only gift he had given her when they got married. Back then, she deliberately chose not to take it with her to show him that she had completely given up on him…Now he was returning it to her. What did that mean? Did he think a necklace could win her forgiveness?Vanessa closed the jewelry box and handed it back to him from the back seat. “This necklace belongs to its rightful owner; it’s not mine, and I don’t need it anymore.”Hearing this, Luca slammed on the brakes, pulling the car to the side of the road. “What do you mean by that? If you want i

Sharing Room

On the Flight to London.First Class.Luca had already put on his eye mask and slipped into a restful state. He had informed the flight attendant not to disturb him, allowing him to catch up on some much-needed sleep.To ensure he made this flight to London, he had stayed up late handling work and was still busy dealing with tasks during the car ride to the airport.

Sick

The Second Day in LondonOn her second day in London for business, Vanessa was so busy that she barely had time to sleep. Meanwhile, Luca seemed to have all the time in the world, constantly interrupting her work.She had hoped to balance her workload with adjusting to the time difference, aiming to be fresh and alert for the upcoming negotiations. However, after twenty-four hours of continuous work, Vanessa felt her head growing heavier, her breaths becoming increasingly labored.Despite not yet reaching her designated rest time and worrying that the time difference might affect her performance, she pushed herself to continue.Eventually, unable to endure any longer, she decided to step out for a drink of water. But as she staggered toward the door, she dismissed her unsteadiness as merely the effects of sleep deprivation.Crash!Suddenly, Vanessa felt dizzy and collapsed.Hearing the noise, Luca rus

A Friend

Luca wouldn’t dare ask her about it.After all, even if he did, Vanessa wouldn’t tell him the truth.The next day.After finishing her IV drip, the nurse handed Luca the discharge papers. Once he settled all the hospital fees, he drove Vanessa back to the hotel.As soon as they arrived, the front desk staff stopped them, relaying, “Mr. Kensington, the lady in the presidential suite would like to see you.”Upon hearing this, Luca glanced at Vanessa, as if wanting to explain the situation to her.But Vanessa’s cold and indifferent demeanor made him feel it was best not to say anything.“Okay, thank you,” he replied and followed Vanessa into the elevator.Inside the elevator, he tried to lighten the mood. “Are you upset, Miss Saxon?”Vanessa frowned slightly and turned to look at him, finding his attempt amusing.“Mr. Kensington, after all these years, you’ve learned how to joke?”Confused by her remark, Luca

Good Relationship

Luca didn’t want to drag her into the scandal, knowing that once involved, she would be caught in the whirlwind of gossip, with even her personal information likely to be exposed. Thinking this over, he decided to drop the matter.“There's no need for you to trouble yourself with this,” he said.To Vanessa, it seemed he was dismissive of any association with her. However, the nature of such rumors is often ambiguous—perhaps they really did have something going on? If that were the case, her insistence on getting involved could only be seen as reckless. “Alright, if you need my help, just let me know, Mr. Kensington,” she replied. Still half-asleep, she felt she could squeeze in a bit more rest. With that, she offered a vague response and headed back to her room.Luca, however, might have misinterpreted her demeanor, thinking she was upset about the rumors, which made him involuntarily smile a little.As rumors swirle

Misunderstand

The assistant's expression was a bit awkward as he quietly and humbly reminded her, “But, President, we’ve been trying to secure Cassandra as a spokesperson. Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts, we haven’t been able to reach an agreement. This time might be just as challenging…”As he spoke, the assistant’s tense demeanor revealed his fear of saying something wrong and being met with Beatriz’s wrath.“Due to scheduling conflicts?” Beatriz scoffed, tossing a file at him, which landed perfectly in his lap.Opening the file, the assistant wasn’t surprised, but his legs started to tremble with fear.“President, we’ve really made efforts to negotiate. We’ve spoken with Cassandra’s manager multiple times, but they insist on the schedule being unworkable unless…”Beatriz perked up at the mention of an opportunity, her expression softening slightly. “Unless what?”

Explanation

Luca paused, knocked on the door again, and said, "The designer from LW Brand, Eric, will also be joining us for dinner tomorrow."‘Eric, the designer from LW Brand?’ This was the primary reason she had come to London. If she could collaborate with Eric, it would open doors for Cortex to enter the jewelry design market and expand its multi-disciplinary projects.But after several days in London, all her attempts to meet Eric had been rejected. Yet, Luca managed to arrange this so easily?A trace of doubt crossed her mind. She opened the door, meeting his gaze as she asked, "Are you serious about this?"Luca smiled confidently. "Of course. I never lie."Despite her hesitation, Vanessa couldn't resist the opportunity to meet Eric. She gave a small nod, signaling her agreement."Send me the time and address for tomorr

Gentle

She looked like she was sulking, her tone intentionally childish, as if trying to annoy him.To Luca’s surprise, he found it a bit endearing. Unconsciously, the corners of his mouth lifted, revealing a doting smile.Fueled by the alcohol, Vanessa noticed his smile and immediately reached out to pinch his face, fuming. "What are you smiling at? Are you laughing at me?""Ow, not so hard."Luca didn’t get angry. Although it hurt a little, he just frowned slightly, still speaking in a gentle tone.But Vanessa didn’t seem pleased, grumbling, "Serves you right. Compared to what I went through, this little pain is nothing..."Thinking he hadn’t heard her, she continued to mess around for a while before finally falling asleep in his arms.In the taxi, Vanessa rested her head on his shoulder, her steady breathing confirming she was a

Warning

Vanessa looked at him with a cold smile and said, “Mr. Kensington, you think too much.”Her distant tone and indifferent reaction caught Luca completely off guard.He was momentarily at a loss for words, using the last bit of his patience to calmly say, “I’ll wait for you to finish. Shouldn’t we have a talk?”Vanessa wanted to refuse, but seeing he had no intention of giving up, she sighed in resignation and turned to her assistant. “Please have Mr. Kensington wait for me in my office.”After saying that, she turned and headed to the elevator, continuing with her work meeting.The assistant respectfully led Luca upstairs and prepared some tea before leaving to attend to his own tasks.Luca observed Vanessa’s office, noting a photo of her and Isla on her desk—with no one else in the frame.This piqued his curiosity.

Is Mommy going to Die?

Screech— The deafening sound of brakes. Bang— The violent crash. At the scene, one car collided with the nearby fence due to brake failure, while another car ran a red light, resulting in a severe rear-end collision. In an instant, the situation turned catastrophic, with dozens of cars involved in a chain reaction, and the front vehicles crumpled beyond recognition. The only car that avoided the worst of it was now wedged against the fence, the airbag deployed, trapping Vanessa inside. With everyone working together, they first rescued the terrified Isla from the back seat, who had been crying uncontrollably. When Isla saw the horrific scene of the mangled vehicles, her cries abruptly ceased as she struggled in the arms of a bystander, repeatedly calling for her mother. Vanessa, with a slight bleeding on her forehead, was disoriented and unaware of the severi
