A trap calling

Kayla had so many questions and it showed on her face. She wondered how this author know who she was, even if she was a fan, like Wess had said, she found it odd that she would be able to recognize her , as Kayla did not share her image with the world. She is rarely ever filmed enough for people to be able to recognize her.“How did you know my name?” Kayla asked her.“I told her,” she heard a familiar voice say, and she turned to find a smiling Wess walking towards her.“Wess?” she asked in slight confusion.“We saw you from over there and I told her who you were,” he said, pointing towards the window and looking out onto the sidewalk. Kayla nodded at this and smiled.“When I heard you were KL, I had to come over and say hi,” Hyacinth said excitedly.“Well, it is nice to meet you, Hyacinth,” Kayla greeted politely. For some reason, she was a little bothered by the bubbly woman in front of her, but could not put her finger on the problem. She made sure to keep her expression polite in

A larger plot

The longer Henri thought about this entire situation, the more something felt wrong. He had only had a bad feeling about Wess and was slightly jealous of how close he was to Kayla and wanted to know who he was. Henri admits he barely trusts anyone and did not trust anyone near his Kayla, especially in a business where things are put in black and white. A part of him wanted to protect her from the shadows, especially now that she could not stand him. But why does everything look messy? Henri felt as though he had walked into a well-curated plot. Even though he was looking for opportunities to use against Kayla, the entire situation seemed fishy. He did not like being tested. His mood was somber, a hint of danger leaked from him, suffocating the room."So he wants to trap your woman using some book? The writer of this book has been saying your woman's art inspired the book or something," Niel said.“If she has said this to him, it means she must have said it to others in private. If th

Mastermind

In the living room of the Kingston family home, Old Master Kingston placed down the phone with a dark look in his eyes.“Father, I know I should have told you that he went to see her. I am sorry. I just thought that he should apologize to her after what he did,” Mrs. Kingston said, when she saw the dark look in his eyes.“I know after all what Henri was plotting, he was wrong to have brought her to us from approval of he wanted to just use her. But if you think about it, from the very beginning, it was clear there was more to it. Or else why would he bring her over? He did all that and now she has caught on. You cannot think since he has gone too far and have him go over to apologize to her, she would just let it go, right?" Mr. Kingston, Henri's uncle countered his wife.“Why not? She loves him. If he presses enough, she will forgive him,” Mrs. Kingston said heatedly.“This is not the problem. Isn't he hiding worse things? Will she forgive that??” Henri’s father frowned. He was not

Auction

The auction hall exuded an aura of sophistication, the air filled with murmurs of excitement and the occasional clink of champagne glasses. Kayla, clad in a sleek, black gown, navigated through the crowd with practiced ease, her expression composed and detached. She took her seat, scanning the room with cool detachment, until her gaze fell upon Henri.A flicker of annoyance passed through Kayla as she noticed him, Henri walking in clad in black. Was he a ghost? Why did she have to see him everywhere? She had spent these past few days trying to forget him, burying their shared history. But now, suddenly, he was everywhere. Was he a ghost hunting her down?Henri’s eyes met hers, a soft smile made its way up his face of his lips as he made his way towards her. Kayla stiffened, her posture rigid as he approached, a knot forming in the pit of her stomach. Why couldn’t he just leave her alone? Hadn’t he gone back? She had thought since he had been quiet the past two days that he had accepte

Marry Me

Henri and Kayla made their way up to a restaurant in silence, neither knowing what the other was thinking. The elegant ambiance of the upscale restaurant couldn’t disguise the tension crackling between Kayla and Henri as they sat across from each other. It was already afternoon at this point and they could see out the window of their room to see the rose garden below. They were not sure how heated the discussion would go and chose to be in a private room.Kayla deiced to break the ice after the waiter served tea to her and coffee to Henri.“I want that painting,” she said, but Henri did not respond. It was as though was waiting for her to elaborate.“I am willing to offer anything for it,” she spoke again.“What do you think I would want for it?” he asked, and she paused. He was right. He was a billionaire. What could she possibly offer?“I am willing to pay for it at the price offered inside,” she said after a pause.“I know you are willing, but we both know you can’t, or else you wo

A quick marriage

The car ride to the courthouse was silent and full of suffocation. Kayla’s gaze remained fixed on the passing scenery outside, her eyes cold and slightly resentful. Beside her, Henri was the epitome of indifference, his eyes focused on the tablet in his hand as if nothing else mattered. But inside, his heart was exploding in excitement. He fought the urge to look her way, because he was afraid she would change her mind last minute. He knew that he was making use of her anger to push her to the courthouse, so he hoped her anger would burn till she signed the papers.“You should wear this,” he reached into his pocket and passed her wedding ring to her and the moment she set her eyes on the familiar piece of jewelry, it was as though her anger had been sprayed a healthy dose of fuel.“That? You are going get a ring,” Kayla finally spoke, her voice tight with emotion. She had once planned to marry this man under a romantic setting. And choose their ring. Now her marria

living here

Henri retried to his hotel happily. He could not help the smile that crawleld up his face. Now all he needed to do was take his wife home. But that was going to be difficult. He could not force her and make the relationship worse. He had desired to move into he replace immediately.Henri swung open the door to his room and immediately set to work, packing his belongings. Clothes were hastily folded and stuffed into a suitcase, toiletries gathered in a haphazard pile on the bathroom counter..Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Henri zipped up his suitcase and called for a staff to get his things, taking one last look around the room before heading for the door.The moment he stepped out into the hallway, he saw Michael approaching with raised brows.“Where are you going?” he asked, taking in the luggage that a staff was carrying away.“To move in with Kayla,” Henri answered and hurried past him, leaving him behind completely confused and sh

Suspicion

The clock on the bedside table ticked away the seconds as Henri sat on the edge of his bed, his phone pressed to his ear. The darkness of the room covered him like a bad joke as he waited for Neil to answer, his heart pounding in his chest with a mix of anticipation and dread.Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Neil’s voice crackled through the line, the sound distorted by the distance between them. “Henri?”“Yeah, it’s me,” Henri answered, the darkness in his voice spilling into the phone. “I need to know what else you have on him.”Neil’s tone grew serious, his voice lowering dangerously at Henri’s words. “What else do you want on him? Do you want more? I am sure I could make it happen.”Henri hesitated for a moment, “I need you to send me all the documents you have on Kayla’s deal with Wess. I am going to tell her tonight.”There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line as Neil processed Henri’s request. “Sure thin

A matter of trust

The air in the dining room was heavy with tension as Henri and Kayla sat across from each other at the table. The dim light cast long shadows across their faces, accentuating the lines of worry etched into their features.Henri cleared his throat, his gaze steady as he placed his tablet on the tablet already opened with files Neil had sent him and slid it across the table towards Kayla, his heart pounding in his chest with a mix of apprehension , his mood solemn.Kayla’s brow furrowed in confusion, a frown covering her face as she picked up the tablet and scrolled through. Her fingers trembling slightly as she scrolled through them. “What’s this, Henri?” she asked, her brows almost coming together. She had a bad feeling about this.Henri sighed lightly before his deep gaze descended on her. “Do you know why I suddenly wanted to marry you? There are many reasons, someone have told you about your lawyer friend, Jason Steele, but there is no need to rush. We

Head First

The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room as Kayla stood before her mirror, her hands trembling slightly as she applied the finishing touches to her makeup. Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions, the events of the previous night were still fresh in her memory as she prepared to face Wess once more.Henri’s words echoed through her mind as she adjusted her hair, his warnings and promises intertwining in a tangled mess of uncertainty and a slight whiff of frustration. A part of her wondered if Henri was just too paranoid. But her fear gnawed at her insides like a cluster of worms; Henri never joked. If she knew anyone well, it was Henri, and he took everything seriously. He would not make a mistake with this, right?With a steadying breath, Kayla straightened her shoulders, attempting to calm herself, yet her resolve hardening with each passing moment. As long as she does not sign, all will be well. If the document they give her bears
