Chapter 1

In the second year of her marriage, Khloe accidentally tore her marriage certificate while tidying a drawer.She rushed to the courthouse to have it reissued, only for the clerk at the window to frown."Miss Roswell, there's no record of your marriage in the system.""That's impossible. I've been married for two years!" Khloe handed over the torn document, her voice sharp with disbelief.The clerk checked three more times, then turned the screen toward her."See? Nothing. And look here, the seal is crooked. This certificate is most likely a forgery."Khloe stumbled out of the courthouse, feeling utterly hollow and disoriented. The world seemed to blur around her when her phone rang."Miss Roswell, hello. I'm the attorney for your late father's estate. Would you be available to come to Pearson Law Firm to review and sign the inheritance documents?"'Another scam,' she thought, her finger hovering over the "end call" button. But the man continued, "Your mother's name was Adele

Khloe didn't even have time to react before a glass of juice was flung straight into her face.The maids rushed over at once to help clean her up."Pete!" Trey's face darkened with fury. Startled, Pete bolted upstairs in a streak of panic.Trey made to chase after him, but Angela quickly stood and blocked his path."Trey, he's just a child. Violence won't solve anything. Let me check on him."As she spoke, her eyes flicked toward Khloe, who was wiping herself clean. She seemed to want to say something more but held it back.Only then did Trey return his attention to Khloe. "Are you alright? Let me see."She had already wiped herself down, but his hand reached out again, wanting to touch her face."Disgusting! Don't touch me." The words slipped out without thought.Trey frowned, completely misreading her. "How could I ever think you're disgusting? The only thing I feel is terrible that you got hurt. If I'd known Pete would have an outburst like that, I never would have put th

As Khloe moved to get into the car, Trey quickly smoothed his expression and moved to join her, as was their usual routine for the drive to the office at that hour."Have your assistant drive you," Khloe said evenly. "I've got an appointment with a realtor. I'm going to look at a house."Trey froze in surprise. "But there's a major company meeting today—""This property is about to have multiple offers. If I don't see it today, it will be gone."Khloe cut him off, her tone placid. A faint smile played on her lips, not quite reaching her eyes. "Besides, you're always the one telling me that work is endless, and that I should learn to treat myself once in a while."For a reason he couldn't pinpoint, a chill ran down Trey's spine. He forced an easygoing smile. "Alright, then I'll skip the office too. I'll come with you.""That's not necessary."Her smile widened, bright and almost girlish, as she turned and lightly tapped a finger against his chest. "I want to pick it out myself. O

"The Morrison family home?" Khloe echoed."Yes," Nigel confirmed with a respectful nod. "The Morrison family. From now on, it is your home."Khloe stood in silence for several seconds. Niel Morrison was her biological father, and the vast fortune he left had already fallen into her hands. Returning to the Morrison family was inevitable. She couldn't hide from it—nor did she need to.At last, she nodded. "Very well. Since it's my home, I should see it for myself."What was bound to come would arrive sooner or later.On the drive, Nigel briefed her on the family's current affairs. The Morrison empire was vast, with the majority of assets once held directly by Niel. A smaller portion rested with Niel's father and elder brother. Now that Niel's entire estate had passed to Khloe, she had become the Morrison Group's largest shareholder.At present, Niel's father, Henry Morrison, was abroad recuperating. Niel's widow, Clarice Davis, managed the household, while the company's operation

The car rolled to a smooth stop. Oscar opened the door again, gesturing for Khloe to enter."Get in. We can speak privately."After a moment's hesitation, Khloe finally slid into the luxurious interior.From Oscar's explanation, she quickly pieced together the story: the men who had intervened for her belonged to one of the nation's most formidable dynasties—the Hunt family.Their empire spanned finance, technology, and energy, wielding immense influence over the entire country's economy. To say they were as wealthy as a small nation wasn't an exaggeration.The heir, Nick Hunt, was only twenty-eight and had already expanded the family's fortune to unprecedented levels. In powerful circles, he was already known as the most influential power broker of his generation.Just last night, the Morrison patriarch, Henry, had received a call from the Hunts. They had proposed a marriage alliance—and the bride they had specifically named was Khloe.Oscar explained that countless elite famil

Khloe had barely taken a few steps when a man emerged from the car and opened the rear door for her.It was the same man who had given her the business card, but today he wasn't in his formal uniform. Dressed in a simple black suit and sunglasses, he seemed far more approachable.Khloe offered a faint smile and slid into the car.The interior was quiet; aside from the two of them, it was empty."May I ask who you are…?" she began."I'm Mr. Hunt's personal assistant. You can call me Lenny." He anticipated her question before she could finish it."Lenny, why would your employer choose me for this marriage alliance? We've never even met, have we?" Khloe asked, choosing her words carefully.Lenny's lips curved into a slight smile. "I'm not privy to his personal considerations. But my employer only recently returned to the country. It's unlikely he's had the opportunity to meet you before.""Then…" Khloe hesitated, her curiosity getting the better of her. "What does your employer lo

"What are you afraid of?" Trey turned and gathered Angela into his arms, his voice tender."I'm afraid your family will force us apart. I'm afraid I'll grow old with you and Pete, always living in the shadows, without any real standing. And I'm terrified that one day... you'll look at me and no longer feel the same."Angela's eyelashes fluttered down, her voice catching in a practiced, delicate sob."I would never."Trey cupped her face, brushing away the dampness at the corners of her eyes with his thumb."I gave you my word—I will always protect you. No one can come between us. And my heart will never belong to anyone else.""Trey…"Overcome, Angela closed her eyes and kissed him.His company was on the verge of its IPO, yet he had still yielded to her pleas and brought her into his home.But Angela couldn't shake the feeling that something in him had changed over the last two years. The reckless, all-consuming passion he'd once had for her had cooled. Worse, he seemed to th

"You…" Stella sputtered, choking on her fury, rendered speechless.Khloe had always been so quiet, so submissive, so easily pushed around. How was it that today, her words were so sharp and clear? And by framing it around Trey and the company, she had made Stella seem completely unreasonable."Alright, Stella. Once Alicia picks a restaurant, just send me the name. I have to get back to work now."Without waiting for a reply, Khloe ended the call.The dial tone buzzed in Stella's ear. She saw stars, nearly fainting from sheer rage. "That wretched girl… she actually hung up on me?"Her hands trembled so violently she almost threw her phone across the room.Watching her mother's meltdown, Alicia was equally stunned. "She's really not coming?""Trey has spoiled her beyond reason! She's a barren nobody from the gutter. She should be thanking her lucky stars every day for marrying into our family. How dare she be ungrateful? How dare she defy me?!"Stella cursed and beat her chest, a

"Alicia, you must keep your spirits up during confinement. Otherwise, it'll harm your health."Khloe's tone was light, almost careless—and that calmness only stoked Alicia's fury."Khloe, don't think you can slack off just because you're hiding behind my brother's company. You're the Fox family's daughter-in-law. Asking you to cook for me is already giving you a chance. Don't forget—your position exists because of the Fox family.""Oh, right," Khloe said, as though remembering something trivial. "I heard your husband's numbers have been slipping badly this month."The words hit like a stone dropped into still water. Alicia froze, her retort caught in her throat.It was true. Stanley had been coming home late, worn out and irritable. His performance was plummeting, and even Trey's backing couldn't prop him up forever."Khloe, what are you implying?""I'm not sure if Stanley ever told you, but half his sales were referrals from me. Lately I've been swamped, so even when he came to

Chapter 10

When it came to connections and resources, Khloe was undeniably formidable. Stanley had no desire to make an enemy of her.But Alicia's attitude was becoming unbearable. His temper finally snapped, and he went so far as to praise Khloe outright, even admitting he envied Trey for having such a capable wife.That single comment shattered Alicia's composure. In a blind rage, she smashed his game console and every one of his treasured game discs to pieces."Why must you make things worse? A man has his pride. There was no need to pick a fight with Stanley over Khloe," Stella scolded, frowning as she patted her daughter's hand. She was torn between pity for her child and fury at the situation.That Khloe! It was bad enough she was a drain on the Fox family, but now she was stirring up trouble—she was nothing but a curse."She's bewitched him! I bet they're having an affair! I won't stand for this. I'm going to confront her myself!"The more Alicia thought about it, the angrier she bec
