A few minutes later, the car stopped outside one of Hart City's most exclusive restaurants. The building had an elegant old-world exterior, with tall arched windows, dark wooden doors and discreet gold lettering above the entrance. Through the glass, Kendra could see soft lighting, white tablecloths and people dressed in expensive but understated clothes.Her driver opened the door.Kendra stepped out, adjusted her dress and walked inside.The hostess greeted her politely, but Kendra barely noticed.Her eyes were already searching the dining room, looking for Knox.Then she saw him. Knox was seated at a table near the far windows.And he wasn't alone.Kendra slowed down a bit as she saw a woman was sitting opposite him.The woman was beautiful. Not just beautiful in the ordinary sense, either.She had long honey-blonde hair falling over one shoulder, oversized sunglasses resting on top of her head and an effortless confidence that made it obvious she was accustomed to being noticed.

Tia noticed the gesture. Her smile softened. “So,” she said, leaning back in her chair, “this is the famous Kendra.” Kendra looked at her. “Famous?” Tia nodded. “Knox has talked about you.” Kendra slowly turned toward Knox. “You have?” Knox's expression became slightly sheepish. Tia laughed. “Please. I've known this man since we were children. He has never been good at hiding anything from me.” Kendra's curiosity immediately sharpened. “Since childhood?” she nodded. “We grew up together, I wish Ava was here, she will tell you more about us.” Tia added. Kendra looked at Knox again, he clearly didn't see the anger in her eyes. “Ava? Who's Ava again?” “My mom.” Knox replied. Kendra slowly leaned back in her chair, crossing one leg over the other. “I was surprised that my boyfriend has a famous childhood friend he conveniently forgot to mention.” Tia covered her mouth, laughing. Knox sighed. “Okay, okay. That's fair.” Kendra gave him a pointed look. “I thought so.”

“Then what are you angry about?” he asked , confused. “The way you were with her.” Knox's eyebrows drew together. Kendra folded her arms, holding herself still as she tried to explain what had been bothering her. “You were laughing with her like I wasn't even there. You were so comfortable with her, Knox. She touched your hand, you were leaning across the table, and both of you looked like you had forgotten the rest of the restaurant existed.” “She touched my hand?” Kendra's eyes narrowed. “That's what you heard?” “No, that's not what I meant.” “You're making my point for me.” Knox rubbed the back of his neck and sighed. “Kendra, Tia and I have known each other since we were kids. Of course I'm comfortable around her.” “Then maybe you shouldn't be that comfortable with another woman.” The words came out sharper than she intended. Knox became quiet and Kendra immediately looked away. She knew she sounded jealous and she didn't care. “I don't want to be the woman

Richard had been pacing around his bedroom for nearly an hour. He would walk toward the window, stop, turn around, cross the room and then repeat the same movement again. His phone remained in his hand, his thumb hovering over the screen every few seconds as he checked for a message. He was waiting for his driver. More specifically, he was waiting to hear whether Kendra had received the letter. Finally, his phone vibrated.Richard stopped immediately and opened the message. (Sir, she has received the letter.) A breath escaped him. “She got it.” He lowered himself onto the edge of the bed and stared at the message again. “Kendra,” he whispered, rubbing his hand over his face, his eyes closing briefly.“Believe me. I'm sorry.” He was still talking when the bedroom door opened. Richard looked up and saw his mother at the entrance. The relief on his face disappeared instantly. “Are you okay?” Evelyn asked. “Yes,” Richard looked back at his phone. “I'm fine, Mom.”

Kendra stepped into her apartment and quietly closed the door behind her.She didn't go to Knox's mansion.For some reason, she couldn't bring herself to go there tonight. She needed to be alone, away from everyone and everything that had happened during the day. The moment she dropped her bag on the couch, she released a tired sigh and dragged herself toward her bedroom, her steps slow and sluggish.Her mind was still stuck on what had happened between her and Knox.She knew she had no right to be angry simply because he had a female friend. Knox was allowed to have female friends. She wasn't going to become the kind of girlfriend who questioned every woman who spoke to her man.But that wasn't really what bothered her. It was the fact that he didn't tell her when he should have just told her.Kendra pushed open her bedroom door and walked inside, her brows drawing together as she thought about it.First, Knox didn't tell her that he was meeting anyone. Then, when he did mention the

~~~~ Richard arrived at one of the most prestigious jewellery houses in the heart of Hart City before the doors had even been open for long. The moment he entered, one of the attendants recognised him and immediately approached. “Good morning, Mr. Thompson.” Richard nodded politely, though his attention was already moving across the glass displays. “I'm looking for something.” he said, his eyes searching for what he wants. “Of course, sir. Is it for a particular occasion?” Richard's eyes settled on a delicate diamond bracelet displayed beneath a spotlight. “No occasion.” The attendant smiled professionally. “Is it a gift?” The attendant asked. Richard stared at the bracelet for several seconds before answering. “For someone I'm trying to win back.” he replied, with a sigh. The attendant's smile softened, who doesn't know about his love story in Hart, he must be trying to win Kendra Reens heart again “I want uhmm...” Richard slipped his hands into his coat p

"What should I say again?" He asked himself before continued typing, still hoping she comes back home to him.She has never gotten this angry at him.(I love you, Kendra.Not because you're beautiful.Not because you're an heiress.Not because you're successful or because you're the woman everyone notices when you walk into a room.I love you because you're you.The woman who challenges me.The woman who makes me laugh when I don't feel like laughing.The woman who can make me lose my patience and then make me forget why I was angry five minutes later.The woman who makes a man like me want to become better.So, my beautiful Queen, if you can find it in your heart to forgive your stubborn Italian billionaire, please come home.I don't care if you want to yell at me.I don't care if you want to ignore me for a while.I'll take all of it.Just don't stay away from me.I want you beside me.I want to hold you.I want to look into those beautiful eyes of yours and know that we're okay.An

She finally laughed. He grinned before blowing her a kiss. Kendra shook her head, but the pout had already disappeared. She can't even be upset with him for so long. Knox slowly stood up, keeping his hands around her waist. “I forgive you, fine,” she said softly. “Really?” His eyes immediately brightened up. Kendra nodded and Knox's smile became impossibly wide He pulled her into another hug, and this time, she wrapped her arms around him. He held her tightly, burying his face against her hair for a moment. “I missed you,” he murmured. “Your smile, your laugh, your smell and fuck me for being a jerk, I fucking missed you.” “I was only gone for one night.” She smirked. “I swear with my life, I almost lost my mind, Kendra.” He said, his heart beating faster, due to how relieved he was. “I was thinking of how to handle work and you are not talking to me, it feels like a year.” Kendra laughed softly against his chest. When they finally separated, Knox looked at her

Mrs. Harrington and her husband were finally back in Hart City with Liam. Their driver had barely pulled up in front of the Harrington mansion before Liam was already shifting impatiently in his seat, eager to get out. The moment the car stopped completely, the driver stepped out and opened the door for them. Liam climbed out first, his little eyes immediately searching the familiar mansion. “Granny, where is Daddy?” he asked in his small, innocent voice. Mrs. Harrington stepped out after him, adjusting the sleeve of her outfit as she looked toward the mansion. She forced a small smile when she looked at her grandson. “He’s working,” she replied gently. “I’ll tell him to come and see you.” “Okay.” Liam nodded, but his expression quickly turned into a pout. “I’ll go to my room now and call him. He has to be here. He promised to see me today.” He turned around and started walking toward the mansion, his little legs carrying him up the stairs with more determination than anyone e

Her jaw tightened.“Why is he calling now?” Mr. Harrington asked. “I thought you said you blocked him.”“I did,” she replied, her eyes remaining fixed on the screen. “Not this number. When we were at the hospital, he kept calling to check on Knox.”Mr. Harrington's expression hardened. “Answer it. Let's hear what he has to say.”Mrs. Harrington hesitated for a moment before accepting the call.The moment the line connected, she didn't bother with a greeting.“What exactly do you want?” Her voice was sharp enough to make it obvious that she had no interest in having a conversation with him.“Relax, Ava.” Victor's voice came through the phone. “I heard you're back in Italy, so I thought I'd call. We could organize a dinner and reveal the truth to Knox. Since he's my son, I want him back in my family.”Mrs. Harrington let out a bitter chuckle.“Really?” She shook her head, unable to believe the audacity of the man. “But you forgot you already had a son. Just because he was involved in an
