The day finally came to an end after the heavy workload on Adrian’s desk. He felt relieved to be heading home after exhausting himself with work. Since returning from the meeting, he had buried himself in tasks and had even skipped lunch.He packed his laptop and phone, intending to finish up at home after getting some rest.As he settled into the car, his thoughts drifted to his father, who had flown out a few days earlier. If he was this exhausted from work, how must his father be feeling over there? He knew what his father had left behind was nothing compared to what he was handling here, though the assistant there was hardworking. Still, it would be a relief if he could take on more of it from his end.“Mr. Adrian, should I drive you home, or would you like to stop somewhere to rest?”Adrian didn’t understand the question. If there was anywhere he should be right now, it was home. That was the only place where rest was guaranteed, with minimal noise. His son wasn’t home, which mad

“Father may think it’s a favor, but it’s not. It’s more like setting a trap for him to fall into,” Ethan said, not even looking in his direction. Ryan laughed at their father’s expression. He had told them about Jade being interested in Adrian, and since then, he hadn’t heard the end of their teasing. “But at least he’s better than most of you. He’s willing to try something with her, even if it’s just as friends,” their father replied. Ryan shifted on the couch, turning to face him. “I bet he only agreed because you got involved. It’s unlike him to even spare a glance at a woman.” “It’s an honor that he did it for me. The last time I tried to set Joshua up on a date, he didn’t even show up and left the lady waiting.” Ethan looked up quickly. “Wait—when did that happen?” “You were still out of the country. You should have been there that day. I couldn’t help but laugh when I found Joshua sleeping in his room.” They burst out laughing, while their father’s expression said it all.

She was abused, beaten, looked down on, and humiliated—yet she endured it all without resistance. They were the wealthy ones, the ones who gave orders she had no choice but to follow. Even after she married into wealth herself, she was still a nobody.But the tables had just turned. She hadn’t even begun to repay them for the humiliation they had put her through, turning her daughter against her, and yet they were already planning to get rid of her.But what if she decided to fight back?What if she was finally ready to serve them what they deserved?If it came to that… who would end up six feet under?****The plane had just landed when a stewardess approached Layla, tapping her gently on the shoulder and pulling her out of her reverie. She fidgeted as she turned to look at her.“Is everything okay, ma’am?” the stewardess asked with concern. Layla hadn’t even moved since they landed.She flashed a small smile and stood up from her seat. “It’s nothing to worry about. I got carried awa

The incident at the gallery had been on Layla’s mind ever since she arrived at the office. They had done well hiding everything from her—even Ethan, whom she trusted, refused to tell her what had happened to the culprit behind the gallery fire.When she asked her father, he simply said they had lost the culprit and that no damage had been done. Layla suspected otherwise. She felt he must have done something to the culprit and didn’t want her to know.She went ahead to ask Ethan, but he gave her the same answer, as if they had all agreed to keep it from her.Natasha was the last person she wanted to ask. She hadn’t even gone near the building because of her allergy, so Layla didn’t bother approaching her.Sighing, Layla walked to the restroom to wash her hands. Ethan had brought her lunch, and she was already starving.When she returned to the living room, she found one of her employees standing there.“Have you been waiting long?”“No, ma’am. I came to inform you that some hefty men a

Natasha had stopped by the hospital and was waiting in her son’s office, sipping some juice a nurse had offered her. It took him about five minutes to get there after hearing his mother was around. He assumed she had brought something for him—it wouldn’t have been the first time, although it had been a while.Unbeknownst to him, she had come with something entirely different—nothing like what he had in mind.He entered his office and pushed the door open. The moment she saw him, she pulled him into a hug.“I didn’t expect you to come here. You didn’t call,” he said, taking his seat as he pulled away from the hug, his gaze not leaving hers.“I was coming from somewhere, and this seemed like the best time to have this conversation with you.”A conversation? He had thought she simply stopped by to drop something off for him. As usual, I got you this and thought of bringing it to your office.He didn’t question it and just took a seat, ready to listen.If there was anything she wanted to
