But as the crowned gathered and walked towards what seems to be the hall she was supposed to do her signing, her stomach dropped. It can’t be that they are here for the signing, right? Wess would not go so far as to throw her to a crowd, right? She felt the urge to turn around and walk away. But when she realized home much effort they had put in to get her here, she wanted to look them in the eye. Her fear was suddenly gone.The grand entrance of the hotel loomed before Kayla, its marble floors polished to a shine, and its chandeliers twinkling with a thousand lights. But as she stepped into the opulent lobby, she felt nothing but absolute confidence. The presence of press coverage for the signing of the contract with Wess’s company was an unexpected twist, one that usually would have sent a wave of a

“Really?” his Aunt asked, “When did you to get married?”“Yesterday,” he answered. At this point, his grandfather took the phone.“Have you thought it through?” his grandfather asked.“Yes,” he answered.“Good. Bring her home,” his grandfather instructed, and ended the call before he could protest. He was not sure Kayla would be willing to go home with him.He had not even had the time to rest when Michael’s call came in.“You are married again?” Michael asked the moment he answered the call.“Yes, it happened yesterday,” he answered.“When you left?” Michael asked.“Before I came back to the hotel,”“Ethan showed me the video, what is going on? Why didn’t you tell me?” Michael asked.“You and the rest are in cahoots with my Aunt. How can I tell you?” Henri scoffed.“It’s not so. Your Aunt placed a spy in Hunter’s home, office, bar, you name it. Every time I called to tell the

Henri watched Kayla with eyes filled with concern as she sat at the kitchen table.She was reading everything they were saying about her. The more she reads the more her hands shook. He couldn’t bear to see her like this. The woman he knew was confident and bold. He could see her eyes turning red as she clenged her jaw. The words being said online hurt. It went from speculation to blame to outright insult being thrown at Kayla. Taking a deep breath, he pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down. He could see her eyes well up with tears. The sight was like e astab to his chest.“Kayla,” he began gently, reaching out to take her hand in his, “Is it about the talk online? Don’t worry, I will deal with it. Don’t cry, okay?”kayla looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears. He looked blurry. Fora while she forgot she was angry with him and began talking in anger. “It was press at the signing,” she did not know what came over her as she started complaining to him. “ They deliberately

The drive to Henri’s family home was a blur of winding roads and lush countryside, the scenery passing by in a blur as Kayla’s mind raced with a thousand thoughts.Her phone rang. It was Leon."Hey," she answered."You finally picked your call. Jason is about to have a heart attack. He has been messaging us since he can't reach you. Now we can't reach him at all!" Leon said."What is wrong, is he alright? Why isn't he picking up? That isn't like him," Kayla asked several questions rapidly."He said he would go get you and now he is not answering his phone," Leon said."What about that man. The one he is seeing. Can any of us contact him?" Kayla asked. Her words made Henri glance at her for a second. He could tell that Henry Steele had successfully taken his son from Marcus. Henri wondered if Marcus knew yet."Marcus..."Leon muttered."So you do know who he is seeing," Kayla said."It's the eighth fucking Sin, Kayla," Leon answered in frustration. He could contact Marcus. He had done i

Henri strode into his expansive corner office, the polished floors gleaming beneath his feet as sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Settling into his leather chair behind the sleek mahogany desk, he looked utterly irritated. It was as though he would burst any moment. His dark face caused his staff to shiver and stay away all day.Just as he was about to delve into his overflowing inbox, his phone buzzed insistently. Glancing at the caller ID, he saw it was Neil. With a furrowed brow, Henri answered the call.“Neil, what’s the urgency?” Henri inquired, his voice laced with a chill. Every time Neil called, he knew it had something to do with Kayla.“Henri, we have a problem,” Neil descended on his ears. “There’s talk online about escalating the smear campaign against Kayla.
