Meanwhile, Ryan was in his room, lying on the bed, one knee bent and the other stretched out. He was viewing something on his phone – Adele's picture. The angry man from earlier was all smiles now, zooming in and out of her face, her curves, and letting his mind wander until his crotch bulged. “You're beautiful,” he mumbled. “Who is beautiful?” Julia asked, stepping into the room. “Are you seeing another woman? Is that why you're easily irritated these days?”Ryan lowered his phone, watched her for a while until her skin broke out in goosebumps before his gaze returned to his phone. “Stupid woman,” he said. “Ryan,” Julia breathed. “If you're going to treat me like this, then I'm going back home to my daughter.”“You're not going anywhere.”“What?” “I said,” he threw his legs off the bed, rising and striding towards her. “You're not going anywhere. Until Roman returns my shares, you're going to remain here.”“But my daughter–”“Doesn't she have a nanny? Or did you forget you have

Adele~Detroit folded the contract and handed it back to me like a man passing a loaded pistol. “Make another copy,” he said, calm as always. “But with slightly different terms.”I blinked. “What do you mean?”“You send him a contract review with soft terms – a three year contract instead of three months. As for when he breaches the contract, your thirty billion should be refunded.” He tapped the paper lightly. “However, when he comes to sign, he gets the real contract.”“Hm…and if he insists on reading again? Or if his legal team comes with him?”“They won't,” he paused. “He thinks you're into him, so he'd want every time with you to be private.” Detroit’s lips curved into that knowing half-smile. “Besides, his ego won’t let him think you’re capable of outsmarting him. He’ll come thinking he’s in control.”I exhaled, leaning back. “So basically, he’ll walk straight into a trap. Still, that doesn't answer the real question. What if he insisted on reading it? Ryan is very thorough when

Ryan~ Adele wiped a tear, “It's nothing. Just read that and sign. He's taking back to the capital tomorrow morning…” she paused. “He doesn't know I'm seeing you. If he does…” Adele didn't finish it but Ryan already knew hell would break lose. Didn't the mad man almost killed him the other day? A man that violent, Ryan already knew he wouldn't treat any woman with tenderness for long before his violent behavior started to show. “Shouldn't you tell your Harrington family about it? I'm sure they could get you divorced if you don't –” “And what happens after? Come back to you immediately and give him a narrative to use against us? Aren't you tired from getting dragged every day on the internet? You're still trending for the wrong reasons, Ryan. Ethan is awake, what do you think he'd feel seeing this father's name everywhere?” His lips thinned. She was right. Adele and Detroit just got married less than five days ago. The man pretended in front of the world that he loved Adele, even

Adele~In a blink of an eye, a month was gone, but it didn’t leave without drama. Amidst the cat-and-mouse play between Ryan and me, Julia and Roman put up quite a spectacle for the internet.Roman divorced Julia but wouldn’t let her take custody of Sophia. The court battle was messy, because Ryan denied being Sophia’s father when he was brought to court, accused Julia of mental instability, and Roman, of being a fraud and unworthy of being a father — he was even suggesting Sophia be sent to an orphanage.The tabloids had a field day. Trendle exploded as usual, and ‘innocent’ me was dragged into it. Not for bad reasons, of course, but to make sure I saw how my ex and his mistress were making fools of themselves.My friends and I didn’t care for gossip – ahem, absolutely not – but we watched with popcorn, like Zee World series, eagerly waiting for the next episode. I mean, update.And most of all, I was keeping an eye on Roman, on how he handled things. I wanted to know why he was so i

Ohoi, I should have worn a mask and oversized shades. At this point, it seemed I was more popular than A-list celebrities. Her excitement drew a few curious glances. Those who cared became just as excited as her, even asking for autographs. Some had even taken out their phones to record, while others minded their businesses. I wished everyone would just be like those few people. Despite myself, I smiled politely, keeping my voice soft. “Good afternoon.”“Good afternoon!” she chirped, straightening her blazer, clearly flustered. Even her colleagues who were attending to customers couldn't take their eyes off me. “We’re so honored to have you here. Please, this way. We’ll find just what you need.”I followed her deeper into the store, trying not to regret my impulsive decision. The interior was warm and minimalist, scented faintly with cedarwood and vanilla. Shelves of neatly arranged gift boxes lined the walls. They were curated sets meant for couples: leather items, perfumes, station
