He'd Never Broken His Promise

By the time Reese returned to XC, it was already well into the afternoon.He didn't go home or even stop by his own office. After briefly checking in with the team, he headed straight for Nova's office.The door was open.Nova sat behind her desk, a stack of documents spread before her. Her laptop was open, and she was already absorbed in reviewing a contract when Reese walked in.She glanced up."You're back.""Just landed a little while ago." He dropped into the chair opposite her and stretched his legs out. "The flight was delayed twice. I've been in an airport lounge for the better part of the afternoon."Nova looked at his tired face."Why don't you rest first? You shouldn't have come back in for work today.""It's fine." He gave a tired sigh before sitting up again."The project went smoothly, though. The final terms were settled before I left, and the local team has already started preparing for implementation. I sent you the preliminary report this morning.""I saw it." Nova

You Look Like Someone Who Gets Whatever He Wants

Axel had never imagined that the word intern could become a form of torture.For the past three days, his uncle had found increasingly creative ways to remind him that he was no longer allowed to live freely.He'd dragged him to Delacroix main office as an intern under the pretext of training him for the family business. And he couldn't rely on his parents to save him; they were the most eager to dump him into the tyrant's arms.He had no idea if Lucien had told his team leader to make his life miserable.This morning alone, Axel had collected documents from the legal department, delivered a contract across the city, and picked up a gift that needed to be sent to an important client.And now he was standing in an upscale shopping mall, seriously considering throwing himself off the nearest balcony if another task appeared.He had basically become a messenger.All because he had fought with those men at the bar.He glanced down at the beautifully wrapped gift bag in his hand.At least

Who Exactly Are You Calling A Pauper?

Nova walked toward the group, her gaze moving from Axel to the woman beside him, then finally to the older man."What happened?"She seemed very calm.At least, better than if the tyrant had been the one who saw him.Axel was still mortified, however.He suddenly felt that being beaten up by twelve men had been considerably less humiliating.At least then, he hadn't had to explain himself to Nova.He quickly straightened and shook his head."Nothing."Then he quickly added,"You can go. I can handle it."Nova merely glanced at him.Then she continued walking toward them without a word.Once she reached them, she looked at the man coldly."Who exactly are you calling a pauper?"The man hadn't expected anyone to intervene, much less a woman who looked completely unbothered by him.He was momentarily taken aback."Wh-Who else?"Nova looked him up and down indifferently before turning to Axel."Explain."Axel went silent.She had that exact same strict tone his uncle usually used, and the

"I Can Blackmail Him."

Axel followed Nova out of the boutique.The moment they stepped into the corridor, he glanced back.Through the glass doors, the older man was still arguing with the sales representative while his girlfriend stood nearby, admiring the watch she'd just managed to get him to buy.Axel shook his head."What a ridiculous day."Nova glanced at him."You were the one who got involved.""I didn't."Axel looked offended."I was shopping peacefully until she started talking to me. Then her boyfriend showed up and somehow decided I needed to prove I could afford an eight-million-dollar watch."He let out a disbelieving laugh."How was I supposed to know I'd walked into someone else's relationship disaster?"Nova's lips curved faintly."You seemed to enjoy it.""I enjoyed watching him suffer." Axel paused. "That's different."Nova didn't argue.She continued walking, and Axel quickly caught up.After a few steps, he glanced at her."You really didn't have to interfere, you know. I could've handl

Are You Threatening Me?

Axel walked into Delacroix Group with the gift bag in one hand.The moment he entered his department, he handed the bag over to a coworker."Help me give this to the team leader when you get the chance."The coworker blinked."Where are you going?""Somewhere."Axel straightened his clothes with an air of importance.The man stared at him."But the team leader said the president forbid—" "I know what he said." Axel patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. If he asks, you can tell him I was extremely hardworking today."Before the man could respond, Axel turned and walked toward the elevators.His steps were unusually confident.His team member watched him disappear and quietly wondered whether the young master had finally lost his mind.The president had clearly forbidden him from leaving the company until everyone else in the department signed out for the day.The top floor was usually a forbidden zone for Axel.Today, however, he walked straight toward it.He had spent three miserable da

The Old Madam Collapsed

Axel stood there dumbstruck for a couple of seconds.Seeing that, Grandma raised an eyebrow.“Why are you standing there like you’ve seen a ghost? Come here and let me have a look at you.”“Grandma?” Axel forced a smile and walked over. “Why are you still awake? It’s late. You should’ve gone to bed already.”“I was waiting for you.”The smile on Axel’s face disappeared.“You were... waiting for me?”“Yes.” Grandma looked him up and down. “Your mother told me your uncle has been keeping you at the company all week. Come sit with me and tell me exactly what he has been doing to you.”Axel swallowed.He suddenly had a very bad feeling about this.His uncle had just given him a warning not to even let the matter of the divorce slip.And now Grandma herself was asking him to talk.He looked toward the stairs and then at his grandmother.There was nowhere to run.He sighed inwardly and followed Grandma toward the sitting room.The moment Axel sat down, Grandma immediately began fussing ov

Nova

The emergency room corridor of St. Vincent Hospital was unusually quiet.The red light above the doors remained lit, casting a faint glow across the floors.Several people were gathered outside.Axel stood near the wall, his face pale as he stared at the emergency room doors.He had been terrified ever since Grandma collapsed.Even worse, he couldn't stop thinking about what had caused it.If he hadn't let the divorce slip...Axel squeezed his eyes shut.He had really done it this time.A few seats away, his mother, Elena Delacroix, sat with her hands clasped tightly in her lap.Beside her sat her husband, Adrian, the Delacroix family's second son who had rushed over immediately he'd heard the news.Across from them were Adrian's younger brother's family.His wife, Carolyn, was pacing back and forth anxiously, while their daughter, Evelyn, stood beside her with a worried expression.Old Madam's only daughter, Vivian was also seated by the side with her son, Cole.There were also a few

She's My Ex Wife

It was Nova.She was walking quickly toward them, her expression unusually tense.For a moment, no one said anything.Even Axel stared at her in surprise.He hadn't expected to see her here, especially since they had been unable to reach her earlier.Nova's gaze swept across the corridor once before immediately settling on the emergency room doors.Then she noticed Axel's mother and walked straight toward her."What happened to Grandma?"Her voice was calm, but there was a faint urgency beneath it.Elena stood up immediately."Nova..."Before she could say anything else, Saunders' cold voice cut through the corridor."You finally decided to show up."Nova's footsteps stopped.She turned her head slightly.Saunders folded her arms."Mother's lying inside the emergency room, and you're only arriving now."Nova seemed used to her behavior.She merely gave her a glance before turning her attention back to Elena."What happened?"Elena opened her mouth.But Saunders stepped forward again.

You Are My Granddaughter

For several seconds, nobody seemed to know what to say.Saunders was the first to recover.Her expression had gone stiff.Just moments ago, she had been lecturing Nova about her responsibilities as a daughter-in-law. She had accused her of disrespect, of not caring about Grandma, and of behaving as though she were above the family.Yet now...Nova wasn't even a daughter-in-law anymore.Even Evelyn stared at Lucien in disbelief.Finally, someone broke the silence."You two... are divorced?"Lucien's expression remained unchanged."Yes."There was no trace of awkwardness in his tone and demeanor.He said it as calmly as though they were discussing a business matter.The family exchanged stunned looks.Lucien didn't give anyone a chance to question him further.His gaze shifted toward Nova."Go in."Nova looked at him for a moment.Then she turned toward the emergency room doors without hesitation.But before she could take more than a few steps, Saunders' voice sounded behind her."Why

She Already Closed That Chapter

"Thank you for coming when I called."Nova turned and looked at him.For a moment, she didn't answer.The hospital doors behind them had already closed, leaving the corridor quiet. There was no one else in sight, and the two of them stood beneath the pale lights outside the emergency room.Nova's gaze rested on Lucien's face.There was a slight stubble along his chin, making her brows crease faintly.Lucien was meticulous about his appearance. He rarely allowed his beard to grow out.He must have been overworking himself.The thought crossed her mind, but she only noticed it. She didn't say anything."I didn't come because you called." Her voice was soft. "I came because of Grandma."Lucien's eyes remained on her."I know."There was no surprise in his expression.Perhaps he had never thought otherwise.Nova looked away first.She slipped one hand into the pocket of her coat, her fingers brushing against her phone."What did the doctors say?"Lucien looked at her calmly. He knew she
