Chapter 41:

Dimitri walked beside Kelsey as they left the building.The afternoon sun hung high above the fields. Workers moved back and forth carrying supplies while trucks rolled through different sections of the property.His eyes swept across the land before settling on Kelsey again."You are staring again," Kelsey said softly to him.Dimitri's lips stretched into a huge smile. "I wasn't aware it was forbidden."Kelsey rolled her eyes lightly. "You should look around the field since you asked to walk around.""I believe you are smart enough to know why I asked that," Dimitri said calmly."I really, really don't," Kelsey replied innocently.Dimitri's lips twitched for a second before he chuckled. Then he suddenly held her hand. "I guess I should move forward then."Kelsey trembled in shock and quickly tried to pull her hand away. "What are you doing...?""Holding your hand," Dimitri responded simply while holding it tightly but gently.Kelsey felt her head spin at his response. "Of course I kn

Chapter 42: Are You Cheating on me With Him

Some hours earlier Ramon stood on the balcony of his room, looking at the gate of the mansion. His expression darkened. ‘Wasn't she supposed to be here by now?’ He checked his wristwatch again. It was almost noon, and yet Kelsey had not come. “Did she forget?” he whispered to himself, but he shook his head at the thought. There was no way Kelsey would forget. He was certain she was more than glad to spend time with Kendrick, and she would be grateful that he had allowed it. His face tightened as he dialed her number again—for what felt like the hundredth time. The call rang. And ended without answer. Ramon’s jaw tightened. “Daddy.” Kendrick’s voice pulled him out of his thoughts. Ramon lowered his phone and looked at his son. Kendrick was standing beside the sofa, already dressed. His small hands were folded together. “Is she coming now?” Ramon didn’t answer immediately. He stared at him, then said, “Mummy… say it.” Kendrick’s little face shifted, like he fou

Chapter 43: You Have No Right

Kelsey stared at Ramon. For a second, she actually thought she had heard him wrong. Then anger rushed through her chest. She let out a short laugh, not because she found it funny, but because she couldn't believe the audacity. Slowly, she turned to face him fully. "You have no right to ask me that." Ramon's expression darkened completely. "What?" "You heard me." Kelsey folded her arms tightly across her chest. "You have absolutely no right to ask me that question." Ramon stared at her. The anger in her eyes caught him off guard. Until now, he had expected her to explain herself. Instead, she looked furious. "Explain what I just saw then," he said coldly. Kelsey laughed again. This time louder. Several workers nearby quickly looked away. The atmosphere became even more tense. "Explain?" she repeated. "Yes." "To who? You?" Kelsey's voice rose. "The same Ramon Holloway that has been parading Wanda around for years?" Ramon frowned. "What does Wanda have to do wi

Chapter 44: The One Who Won

At the same time, at Tony Morgan's villa,The atmosphere inside the house was gloomy.Eveline sat on the couch with a dark expression. A cup of tea sat untouched on the table in front of her.Across from her, Laura paced back and forth angrily.Neither of them had been able to calm down since the day Kelsey had walked in on them while they were about to sell the plantation and took control of it.And that afternoon, they had received news that Kelsey had officially resumed work as the owner.The more they thought about it, the angrier they became."I still can't believe it."Laura stopped pacing and turned toward her mother."Tony actually dared to sign fake documents for you and handed the real ones to his daughter." Eveline's face turned even uglier.Even now, it still felt like a dream. Everything had been going smoothly. They had been one signature away from selling the plantation.One signature.Yet everything had fallen apart in a single day.Laura stared at her mother.Unlike

Chapter 45: Mummy Is Amazing

The moment the car stopped in front of the Ivory Mansion, Ramon pushed the door open and stepped out. "Come out," he said to Kelsey, who had her arms folded across her chest, clearly showing she wasn't pleased with him. Her anger had not disappeared during the drive home. Not even a little. She had spent the entire journey trying to understand how Ramon had managed to drag her out of her workplace like some criminal. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. "Come out of the car," Ramon said impatiently. But Kelsey made no attempt to move. She adjusted herself in her seat and remained where she was. Ramon hissed under his breath, lowered himself, grabbed her arm, and pulled her out of the car. "What exactly is wrong with you?" Kelsey shouted as Ramon dragged her through the living room and upstairs to his bedroom. The moment he opened the door, he pulled her inside and finally let go of her arm. Because of how suddenly he released her, Kelsey staggere

Chapter 46: A Father's Plea

Still standing by the door, Ramon watched the scene quietly.For some reason, seeing Kendrick so comfortable around Kelsey felt strange, but not in a bad way.'It isn't that bad though.'He thought to himself.Just then, a knock sounded on the door."Mr. Holloway."Grace's voice came from outside.Ramon frowned. "What is it?""Mr. Josh is here to see you."Ramon's brows furrowed deeply.Wanda's father.Why is he here?Andrew Josh wasn't supposed to be moving around so much because of his health, which had never fully recovered after the injuries he suffered years ago.The distance from the Holloway Mansion to the Ivory Mansion was quite far.Ramon closed his eyes in irritation as he could already guess why the man had come.It had to be about Wanda.His eyes moved back to Kendrick.The little boy was completely focused on Kelsey and his robot toy. "Mummy, faster!"Kelsey replied anxiously, "I'm not performing magic."Kendrick giggled.Ramon's expression softened.Then he left the door

Chapter 47: A Child's Hope

The living room fell into silence after Ramon spoke.For a long moment, Andrew said nothing. He sat quietly, his fingers tightening around the glass in his hand.Ramon, on the other hand, felt uncomfortable.He had rarely refused Andrew anything before. Not because he was forced to. But because he owed the man more than he could ever repay.Finally, Andrew let out a slow sigh."I understand." His voice was calm.Ramon felt even worse.But it wasn't something he could change. He wanted to put his marriage in order and bring his little family together.And if Wanda kept being part of the picture, it would be difficult because he could now see that Kelsey obviously didn't like her.Andrew lowered his head sadly. "Perhaps what she did was unforgivable for you not to even consider me."The words made Ramon's jaw clench. "Uncle...""It's okay," Andrew said, forcing a smile.Just then, a noise came from the stairs.Ramon looked toward it and saw Kelsey and Kendrick coming down.His gaze inst

Chapter 48

Kelsey stared at him, but Ramon looked back at her as though what he had said was completely normal.Kendrick's eyes immediately lit up."Really?"He looked from his daddy to his mummy."Really, Mummy?"Kelsey felt a headache coming.She didn't understand why Ramon had said that, knowing fully well that she no longer lived there.She stared at Kendrick's hopeful eyes looking back at hers."No, Ken—""Yes."Ramon interrupted before she could finish. Kelsey shot him a glare, but he ignored it.Kendrick looked completely confused.His small head turned from one adult to the other. "Then why doesn't Mummy sleep here anymore?"The question landed directly between them.For a moment, nobody answered.Kelsey opened her mouth, closed it, then opened it again.How was she supposed to explain separation and divorce to a child?She found it difficult to explain, but no matter what, she still had to do it because sooner or later, he would have to know."We..." she began softly, then stopped.Ramo

Chapter 49: The First Crisis

Monday arrived sooner than Kelsey expected.The weekend felt unusually short.As she stepped out of the cab in front of Morgan Cocoa Plantation Headquarters, her thoughts drifted back to Kendrick.Kendrick’s bright smile appeared in her mind.“Mummy is amazing.”A small smile tugged at her lips before she quickly shook her head.She needed to focus.The moment she entered the building, she noticed something was wrong.The atmosphere felt tense.Employees who usually greeted her warmly looked nervous as they greeted her.Kelsey’s footsteps slowed. Her stomach tightened.Just then, she saw Maureen walking towards her in a hurry.“Good morning, ma’am,” Maureen greeted softly, then quickly added, “It’s good that you are here. I was about to call you.”Kelsey frowned. “What happened?”“The department heads are waiting in the conference room,” Maureen answered calmly, though her tone still carried tension.“Already? They didn’t even wait till I came,” Kelsey murmured, not moving.She rememb

Chapter 50: A New Door Opens

The office fell quiet after Maureen left.Kelsey remained seated.The documents were still spread on the table in front of her, but she wasn’t looking at them anymore. Her mind had drifted far away from Sunlight Company, far from the tension at hand.She leaned back slowly and exhaled.‘So this is what it feels like… to be responsible for everything.’A faint headache pressed at her temples.Not from stress alone, but from the weight of choices she couldn’t afford to get wrong.Her phone lay beside the documents.For a long moment, she just stared at it. Then, without thinking too much, she picked it up.She scrolled and stopped at Dimitri’s number.Kelsey hesitated. Her thumb hovered, then she pressed call.It rang once.“Hello,” Dimitri’s voice came through, calm and steady.There was a faint background noise on his side.“You’re busy,” Kelsey said simply.A small pause.Then Dimitri replied, “I was in a meeting. But I always have time for interesting calls.”Kelsey’s lips pressed i
