The spilled drink“Let go of me!” Sophia's voice was a low growl of pure anger. She yanked her arm from Adrian's grip as if his touch burned her skin.He didn't try to grab her again. Instead, he just looked at his wristwatch, the cold, silver face glowing in the dim light. “It was past 9:00 p.m.,” his voice flat and accusing. It's late already. What kept us out until this time?”“I am an adult, not a baby.” She had no energy for this. “I can go out and return whenever I want to. So stop trying to control my movement and acting like you care.”Then, in a fury, she stormed out of his presence, her emotions bubbling over like a shaken bottle of soda. The air crackled with tension as she marched away, her heart pounding with each step. She didn’t dare glance back, yet she could feel his gaze burning into her back, heavy with unspoken words.With determination, she pushed through the massive front doors of the mansion, the sound of her heels striking the marble floor echoing through the

Between kiss and war The moment his lips crashed onto hers, she felt a jolt of surprise that left her momentarily frozen in place. His arms snaked around her waist, pulling her closer as if trying to shield her from the chaos swirling around them. She instinctively tried to free herself from his grasp, but his hold was unyielding, a mix of urgency and desperation. As their lips moved together with an unexpected rhythm, she found herself swept away by the intensity of the kiss. It melted away the anger that had been simmering within her just moments before, leaving only a haze of warmth and confusion. Gradually, she let down her defenses, her body responding to the heat of the moment. Their lips tangled in a wild dance, each kiss igniting a fire that took over her senses completely. This kiss wasn’t born out of mere desire; it felt like a lifeline, a desperate attempt to silence the storm of emotions threatening to erupt. It was the only thing he could think of to keep h

Defiance“No!” The word was a choked whisper, stumbling from her lips. Her mind refused to accept what her eyes were seeing.For a frantic moment, she thought she was hallucinating, convinced that the stress of the evening and the champagne swirling in her system had finally conspired to make her sick inside. The room spun slightly, and she blinked rapidly, forcing her eyes to focus on the document laid out on the table before her. As she leaned closer, the words crystallized into sharp clarity, confirming the impossible: **Confidential financials: Bennett Enterprise.**The impact of those words hit her like a hard punch to the face, draining the color from her cheeks. A wave of adrenaline surged through her, propelling her into action. With a swift motion, she snatched the document from the table, almost crumpling it in her grasp.A wild, consuming rage ignited within her as she flipped through page after page of private company data—figures, projections, and sensitive information

Defending Sophia“You should listen to me, Adrian.” Iris tried not to raise her voice. “It amazes me that you will just let everything that happened today slide without doing anything. You think it's a mere accident? No. It's not.I think Miss Florence did that on purpose.”He looked at her for a moment before he let out a disbelieving laugh. “Please, stop it. Florence is innocent. Look, it wasn't deliberate. Right now, you sound like Sophia. Has Sophia been feeding you her annoying theories of how Florence doesn't respect her? Please ignore it. Florence is a nice woman.”Iris sighed in total exasperation. “There we go again! “She said in pure exasperation. “I knew you would defend her,” her voice dropping but losing none of its intensity. “You seem to forget that I grew up in this house long before I moved to Paris. I know Florence. I know the things she is capable of. Trust me, you don't know her half as well as you think you do. It's so unfortunate that you are completely blind to

The accusationA few hours later, the top executives of Bennett Enterprise began to walk in one after the other.Their footsteps broke the silence in the large conference room. The leather chair made a slight sound as they all sat down.A few of them looked at one another and leaned in to whisper. Just thirty minutes prior, Sophia's message, an unplanned meeting with no explanation, had arrived in their inbox.One of the executives, Mr. Kane who was a few seats away from Sophia, clenched his jaw.He had tons of work waiting on his table, and he needed to get back to his office.He wasted every moment he spent sitting here. His mind sour, he tapped his pen against a notepad. That chair shouldn't even be hers. She had done nothing but lead the business further into financial ruin!And marrying Adrian Drake? He saw it as a desperate move from her to salvage what's left of the company and her father's reputation.From all angles, she was spineless. Rather than working hard to repair the d
