One moment to say what I couldn’t before. Philip. I read it twice. Then folded it again. And walked back inside. --- The matchbox was in the kitchen drawer, right next to the old wine stoppers and a half-used roll of washi tape I kept saying I’d use for journaling. I struck the match with a shaky hand. The letter curled at the edges almost immediately. Flames moved fast. Like they knew this paper didn’t deserve to linger. I dropped it into the empty sink, watched it burn until it was black and fragile, like ash-paper.

My pinky never fully healed, but it didn't bother me anymore. I married Julian, and by our second year together, we had our daughter. I bought the old company back. After all, it was something I'd fought so hard for. That dark chapter of my life no longer had the power to hold me down anymore. Then, one day, I got a call saying Joanna had been caught. I hurried to the police station, and they showed me a video. Henry was tortured so badly that he was almost unrecognizable, but the date stamp showed it wasn't from this year.

While he has been here waiting for the right time to help me out, I was leaving under the modern roof of the psychopath Alpha that tore his home apart and has now torn mine apart–falling for him and letting him touch me. The tears sting the back of my eyes, but I wipe them off before they can trickle down. A straw shifts under my feet. At first, it felt like a straw, but the rustling sound is light, so I halt to stare down at what I’m stepping on. Right there, under my feet, lies a crumpled sheet of newspaper. I reluctantly bent to pick it, slowly unfolding it, to see what content lay inside the rumpled sheet.

“Whenever I go with Madam Abigail, she makes me pick the things I want.” “Well, I am not my grandmother-in-law. I am Natasha,” I replied. I expected her to say it wasn’t even my money but she knew better than to. I would tell her to get something though. I wanted to tease her first. The first place we went to was the bookshop. The books in Bruce’s library weren’t to my taste… They were boring to me. My plan was to buy books I wanted and have my own collection in the library. Even since we had sex, I believe the contract marriage bullshit had been thrown out of the window. Stamford mansion was my home now and I have to fill it with the things I love.

Peter said, "Mia after we eat later, you and I can watch a movie together." Mia looked at his cruelly beautiful face leaning close to hers: “Watching the afternoon? I've been busy in the afternoon." Peter narrowed his eyes at her: "You want to hide again?" Mia lowered her head and continued to eat: "Don't hide, I just go to the publishing house, carpooling with my brother also saves money on gas, why should I hide?" Peter removed the chicken bones when he saw her eat it all, heard her say that, he smiled: “I am the only daughter of the Johnson family, deputy director of MJ corporation, I still want to work part-time. this writer and novelist, want to save money?”

Thereupon, I achieve the registration on the screen on the top counter, the robot bend its knee to fetch something below the slab, and afterward - she give me a file that is kept with important papers that allowed me to get some room and a box. I called Wayne to stroll to the elevator even though he enjoys the book that turned into technology like literally all of them are tablets, not papers nor books at all. "Now we can fetch some room, right? Because I am bloody rooted below the san

Amelia’s gaze widened, and her hands trembled as she read the figures—one billion! She flipped to one page, then another—her movement chaotic. Then her heart wrenched so much so she couldn’t breathe, once her gaze landed on the signature written at the end of the document. LIES they were all LIES. Her grip on the document tightened. “Back then, I forgave this debt. But as you rightly reminded me, our family has no relationship. It’s too much to ask that you pretend to be my son’s wife, just pay the debt and we will cut ties”

Taking a deep breath, I turned and walked into the study. The room was dim, the only light coming from the desk lamp that cast long, dramatic shadows. Killian was hunched over a mountain of paperwork, his brow furrowed in a way that made my heart ache. But as I approached, my eyes snagged on something. A file. Left open. Right on top of the Vanguard papers. The name on the tab wasn't a client. It was Adam.

Camille butted in. Sabrina rolled her eyes, “Can you stop calling him Ratatouille? Also, we can't blame Mon for ever liking him. Dude was their family's chef and was a good cook, and like they always say...” “The way to a woman's heart is through her stomach.” Angela completed, “Though I do think it's a man's heart.” Sabrina snorted. “Anyways, so what does fuckboy Aaron have for you? Unless he is currently a saint, I don't think that marriage will work.”
