Anita leaned down and planted one last, long kiss on his lips, her mind already spinning with a hundred ways to use this discovery.Armed with the address and security codes Paul had given her, Anita walked onto the villa majestically.She wasn't alone. Walking right behind her were three tall young women from her elite social circle. Anita stepped onto the villa looking every inch the tech heiress she was born to be. She wore a tailored cream suit, diamond studs, and designer sunglasses. Her head was held high, dripping with effortless wealth and generational power. She stopped dead in her tracks when her eyes landed on Kim. Kim was still sitting by her stand on the back terrace, carefully putting the finishing touches to Saul’s face with oil strokes. A sudden, burning fury rushed through Anita's veins. Her hands clenched into tight fists at her sides."What are you doing here you bitch! Saul is engaged to me, Kim!" Anita barked the moment she saw her, her voice sharp and loud enough

Saul’s hands slid into her damp hair as he pulled her gently against his chest."Anything else..." He whispered against her neck, his lips close to her earlobe. "Tell me, Kim. Anything else I can do for you so you forgive me?"Before she could speak, his mouth moved closer, planting a wet kiss filled with longing on her lips as he pressed her tighter to his body."Just don't talk about leaving me again," Saul continued amidst smooches, pressing his lips to her cheeks, her nose, and back down to her mouth. "My heart can't bear losing you... I would burn this whole city down before I let you walk away.”Jordan's Estate Kim walked straight into the main living room in Jordan's estate with the deed of the villa tucked neatly in her bag.Lucas was sitting comfortably on the couch, his arm wrapped tight around Denise. Denise rested her head on his shoulder while sipping a glass of red wine. In Lucas's other hand was an unsealed envelope."Look who decided to show up," Lucas sneered the sec

Kim sat at her worktable late into the night at the studio lab at the Jordan estate. Surrounded by glass vials, pipettes, and formula logs.She carefully measured liquid drops. Line by line, she sealed the final batch of five distinct signature scents for the upcoming Orchids Group winter collection. She had poured her entire life, her heart, and her dark journey into these formulas. She carefully lines them up and label the five glass bottles side by side on the silver tray:1. Nemesis – A dark floral laced with sharp spice.2. Deepwood – A rich, earthy blend of rare orchids, dark cedar, and cold moss that anchored the collection.3. Blackthorn – A sharp scent with notes of wild berries and violet leaves.4. Winter Rose – An icy rose fragrance that smelled of cold luxury.5. Obsession – A heavy vanilla and smoked resin blend.The door to the lab opened, breaking the quiet silence. Denise strolled in, wearing an off-shoulder silk dress. She clutched her flat belly with both hands, a s

Lucas sat beside Denise at ‎the dining section of The Nocturne, a fine dining restaurant and high-energy VIP nightclub. The table was set with a spread of garlic butter lobster tails, grilled tiger prawns, and steamed crab legs.Lucas carefully cracked open a lobster shell, dipped the tender meat in melted butter and placed it onto Denise’s plate."Eat more, babe," Lucas murmured gently, his eyes filled with warmth as he brushed a strand of hair behind Denise’s ear. "You’re eating for two now."Across the table, Denise’s mother beamed, taking a sip of white wine. "You spoil her so much, Lucas. It brings tears to my eyes seeing how attentive you are to little details."Kim sat silently at the end of the table watching the performance. Her plate remained empty. She simply watched unbothered.Lucas suddenly turned his gaze toward her with concern. "Kim, you're not eating. What's wrong with you tonight?"Kim lifted her head. "I'm allergic to seafood."Silence fell over the table.Years ag

The doors opened and Saul stepped into the office. He took one look at the tension in the room, his sharp eyes moving from Nina’s defensive stance and Kim’s unbothered face. "Kim," Saul called, stepping straight into the space between them to break the tension. "I see you've met Nina."He gestured toward Nina with a wave of his hand. "This is Nina Hart. She's just a temp assistant the agency sent over to cover basic paperwork until Matt gets back."“Okay.” Kim answered casually Without giving Nina another glance, Saul reached out and gently took Kim by the hand as he pulled her away."Come on," Saul murmured. "I want to introduce you to your legal team."As the elevator doors slid shut, Kim stood beside Saul, staring straight ahead. Without turning her head, she spoke."I don't like her."Saul turned to face her, leaning back against the handrail. "She does her job efficiently and accurately," he replied."I still don't like her," Kim repeated.Saul smiled. "Okay. I get you are jeal
