Take It Slow

Guilt suddenly crept into Navia’s chest.After all, she had been the one who proposed marriage to Leonel in the first place, yet now she was the one drawing boundaries between them.He probably didn’t feel great about that either.“Mr. Crawford… I’m not trying to reject you.” Her voice softened. “You just have to give me a little time.”“Growing up, Liam was the only man I ever dated. He was my childhood fiancé, so I always thought the only man I’d ever marry would be him.”A bitter smile flickered across her lips.“Unfortunately, he clearly didn’t feel the same way. I never even let him touch me, and meanwhile, he was sleeping with my half-sister behind my back.”“In the end, everything became a complete mess.”She lowered her eyes briefly before continuing.“So honestly… I don’t really understand m

Furious

The waitress looked Navia up and down.Navia had always dressed casually and never cared much for designer labels or flashy luxury brands. In the waitress’s eyes, that simply made her another pretty woman trying to get close to Leonel Crawford.After all, in a business district full of ambitious white-collar workers, restaurants were prime territory for gossip, flirting, and women hoping to marry into wealth.The waitress’s expression became even more disdainful.“Miss, do you understand the concept of waiting in line? If you want an autograph, get to the back instead of cutting in.”The others immediately chimed in.“Exactly!”“Stop blocking us, okay?”Navia laughed from sheer disbelief.“Did none of you hear what I said?” she asked coldly. “I said he’s not signing anything.”The waitress crossed her arms stubbornly.“And who exactly are you to

Married Couple's Fight

“Let go.”Navia didn’t want to struggle with him in public.Harrison Group was right nearby. If employees happened to walk past and see them like this, rumors would spread instantly.She glanced around before lowering her voice.“If you don’t let go, I’m going to scream.”Instead, Leonel pulled her tightly into his arms.His heartbeat thundered powerfully against her ear, deep and heavy beneath his chest.“I’m sorry, Navia,” he said hoarsely. “Come back to the car with me and let me explain everything. Please?”Navia pressed her lips together as she felt people nearby beginning to stare.His arm circled tightly around her waist as if he was afraid she might disappear the second he loosened his grip.The pressure was so strong she could barely breathe.“Do I even have the right to refuse?” she asked coldly.Leonel lowe

Insult

Leonel slowly wiped the blood from his lips.The crimson stain against his mouth made him look like a fallen god—someone once untouchable now tainted by something dark and forbidden, carrying an almost dangerous edge.“Mr. Crawford… are you alright?” Jason asked carefully.Leonel glanced at him coldly.“What do you think?”Jason originally wanted to ask whether he needed medicine for the swelling on his face, but meeting Leonel’s icy expression, he immediately lowered his head and swallowed the words.He had never seen Leonel like this before.The man was usually calm to the point of seeming emotionless, as though nothing in the world could shake him.But now—There was something terrifying leaking from beneath that composure.Something obsessive.Almost unhinged.The SUV remained parked where it was, showing no sign of leaving.Leonel’s g

Leonel's Weakness

Jason glanced at the rearview mirror.Leonel sat silently in the dimly lit backseat with his eyes closed, his sharp features still impossibly striking beneath the shadows.His face looked sculpted from marble—perfect bone structure, flawless looks, an overwhelming presence that naturally commanded fear and respect.If not for the fading handprint still visible on his cheek, anyone would have thought this was a man without weakness.Perhaps the old Leonel Crawford truly had been.But now Jason understood something clearly.Not only did Leonel finally have a weakness—That weakness might someday become the blade aimed straight at his heart.Jason didn’t dare waste another second.He carefully followed the car carrying Navia while Leonel’s phone continued ringing repeatedly beside him.Most of the calls were work-related.Important enough that executives would normally panic if Leonel i

Blocked?

Navia had barely settled back into her office at Harrison Group when the front desk called upstairs.“Ms. Harrison, there’s a woman here asking to see you.”“Who?”“She says she’s your housekeeper. Claire Walker.”Navia frowned. Why would Claire come here?She told security to send her up.A few minutes later, Claire stepped into the office carrying a thermal food container.“You haven’t been feeling well, Mrs. Crawford, and you’re still working late,” Claire said gently. “Mr. Crawford asked me to bring you some chicken soup.”The moment Leonel’s name came up, Navia’s expression cooled.“You can take it back. I’m not hungry.”Claire hesitated. “I heard you and Mr. Crawford had a disagreement, but you shouldn’t take it out on yourself.”“This has nothing to do with him,” Navia replied qui

Business Dinner

Seeing the look on Navia’s face, the secretary couldn’t help feeling sorry for her.Navia had grown up as Evelyn Harrison’s only daughter—the sheltered heiress of the Harrison family.Someone like her had never needed to see this side of the business world before.But now that Evelyn Harrison was gone, every opportunist in the city seemed to be circling.After a brief hesitation, the secretary asked carefully, “Should I call Mr. Harrison? If this partnership goes through, it could change everything for the company.”Navia let out a slow breath.“He won’t help me.”The secretary forced a small smile. “I’m sure that’s not true. No matter how strained things are between you right now, this still affects Harrison Group. He wouldn’t ignore something this important.”Navia didn’t answer. Her silence was all the permission the secretary needed.S

Trapped

Since it was their first meeting—and in a place like Monarch Club, no less—there was no way these men intended to discuss real business immediately.Leonard Bell poured a glass of tequila and slid it toward Navia with an expectant smile.“These gentlemen are all good friends of mine,” he said smoothly. “And hopefully they’ll become your friends too, Ms. Harrison. If everyone gets along tonight, there’ll be plenty of opportunities for future cooperation.”The amber liquor caught the dim light.Tequila. Strong enough to burn going down.Navia pressed her lips together. “I don’t drink.”Her secretary immediately reached for the glass. “I can drink on behalf of Ms. Harrison.”“Now that would make Ms. Harrison seem insincere.”Leonard Bell casually placed a hand over the glass before the secretary could take it.He was still smiling, but

Linda's Doing

Navia’s heart nearly stopped.“I’m Leonel Crawford’s wife,” she said quickly. “I need to speak to him right now.”The assistant paused.When he spoke again, his tone had changed completely.“Miss, Mr. Crawford is unmarried. You shouldn’t make jokes like that.”“I’m not joking,” Navia said desperately. “I’m at Monarch Club. Please—can you ask him to come here?”The moment the assistant heard the location, whatever patience he had left vanished.In his mind, the situation was obvious.Some hostess at Monarch Club had probably gotten hold of Leonel Crawford’s private number and was trying to use it to get close to him.“Sorry,” he replied coldly. “Mr. Crawford is busy. And if you’re really in trouble, call the police.”The line disconnected.Navia stood frozen.The bu

Rage

Fragments of the conversation drifted into Leonel Crawford’s ears.His sharp gaze darkened instantly, and he stopped in his tracks.The break room door flew open. The employees inside nearly jumped out of their skin. The moment they turned around and saw the icy expression on the man’s face, their blood ran cold.Leonel always carried himself like a man above everyone else—untouchable, composed, almost godlike.But at that moment, he looked more like something dragged straight out of hell.“What did you just say?”The assistant’s breathing nearly stopped. “M-Mr. Crawford? Why are you here?”“That phone call just now…” Leonel’s voice was terrifyingly calm. “Was it from my wife? Where is she?”The assistant froze.He had assumed it was just another random call. He never imagined it would provoke such a violent reaction from Leonel Crawford.“S-Sh
