Simon couldn't deny that this was a brutal blow. If Alexandra had confessed to him, he would be so happy that he'd probably strip and streak on the spot.He took a few seconds to digest it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt like fate's favorite punching bag. On all accounts, his love life should've been the better one between the two. Yet somehow, someone as cold and aloof as Gideon had pulled ahead of him."You seriously don't have anything else to share?" Simon sounded a little like he was grinding his teeth.The true experience wasn't as effortless as Gideon made it sound; he supposed he did have something to share. He summed it up in a few words. "Just stay by her side the way she wants.""I know that much. The issue is that Alexandra doesn't even want to see me. I'm already making a mistake by showing up in front of her. I'd love to be there for her however she likes, but do you know what she likes? She likes me not showing up."Simon looked utterly miserable. "I

Phoebe's expression changed immediately. Over the phone, she said, "I'm in Ravenport. I'll get on a flight back right away."Alexandra looked over and asked, "What happened?"Phoebe hung up and told Alexandra, "My grandmother wants to see my mom. I need to go back immediately."Alexandra reacted quickly. "Okay. I'll have my secretary change your flight ticket right now."Even from a distance, Gideon had already seen how upset Phoebe looked. He immediately left Simon behind and walked over, asking, "What happened?""I need to head back right now. They're changing my flight ticket," Phoebe said.Simon followed Gideon. "You're leaving already?"Phoebe nodded.Alexandra walked back over after hanging up. "The earliest flight is in two hours."Phoebe bit her lip. Katherine was with Victoria, so she would be fine for now. What worried her was the possibility that Victoria would insist on contacting that man, Gerald Stanton.Victoria had been dealing with dementia for years. When Me

Phoebe narrowed her eyes when she heard that surname. Maybe it was because she was thinking of Gerald, but sharing the same last name as Felicity put her on edge.Why was Felicity fighting her over this?One mess after another kept coming her way, and the anger coiling in her chest slowly began to spread. Still, her expression stayed calm. "I'll talk to you when I'm back at the office.""Okay," Megan answered before hanging up.Katherine had already walked Phoebe and Flynn to the nursing home's entrance. "Guys, it's really not that serious. Your grandmother has me here. As for your mom, if we really can't hide it, then so be it. When your father gets here, I'll talk to him. You two don't need to worry about any of it. Focus on your own lives."Flynn looked disgusted. "He found himself a new woman without missing a beat right after Mom's incident. Does he even deserve to be called our father?"Katherine said, "You've got such a sharp tongue. Why don't you settle the score with him

In the years Phoebe and Flynn hadn't seen him, Gerald's pharmaceutical company had already grown into a massive conglomerate worth hundreds of billions of dollars. He had leaped several rungs up the social ladder and was now a true power player in Jeriton.His pharmaceutical empire was a moneyed, influential giant, not much different from the Russells, who'd spent two generations building their fortune.As Phoebe scrolled through the files, she gritted her teeth and clicked into the page on Felicity's mother. Her name was Lorraine Seele. She had gone to med school with Gerald and was his junior.Lorraine had been married only once, and her spouse was Gerald.The blow hit Phoebe hard. Her thoughts flew to Melinda, and a storm of wild guesses rushed in, tangling her mind into a blur. She clicked out of the page, then clutched her head, her face turning pale as agony filled it.A swirl of emotions churned in her heart—hatred, resentment, and fury. She hated how cold-blooded Gerald ha

Gideon pushed himself up on his arms and looked down at Phoebe. "It's better if we sleep separately if we both want a good night's sleep."He stood as he spoke. He pulled her up with him, her face turning bright crimson. His expression remained calm, a sharp contrast to his body's reaction.Just the size and feel of a certain part of him was enough to make Phoebe's heart race. She was sure that she wouldn't be able to handle it. Indecent images flashed through her mind, and she forced herself to stop."I… I don't want to…"Gideon chuckled. "I know."She was already traumatized by sex, and physically, it would be torture for her. There was just no way around it. She asked, "What about you, then?""Don't worry about me."Well, she wouldn't exactly worry about him. She wanted nothing to do with sex right now.Maybe she had misread him before. Gideon was a normal man, after all. Now that they were dating, it was natural for him to get excited during intimacy. He had never been like
