It was obvious that she had just given Claire a bath because the front of her shirt was still wet. “Where's Claire?” I asked. “Upstairs watching cartoons with the dogs.” She said. “But don't try to change the topic: I'll testify.” “Who is this?” One of the associates, Preston, asked. Carter adjusted his glasses as he took Stephanie in. “This is Stephanie Sylvester, the victim's younger sister.” Carter offered. “Considering she's a minor and for the sake of her privacy, I excluded any mentions of her in the files.” Preston looked from Stephanie to his notes and then frowned as if he couldn't believe that such a detail wasn't included in the notes. Then he started to scribble furiously.

“I guess my grandson grew to be more like his father during the days that I didn’t see him.” “It’s okay, Mr. Chairman. Resembling his dad made him even more charming.” Mia laughed. She did not like the child’s tone but she had to understand that the child was still wary of strangers like her. “What brought you here, Mr. Chairman?” Callum asked as he sat across from his father. Caleb jumped out of his grandfather’s lap and sat beside his Dad. “I want to introduce you to Mia Bautista. She is the daughter of the MBB Corporation.”

“You need more space now, Isla. More structure. And that building is perfect for what your company is becoming.” She smiled, a real smile this time. One filled with pride and quiet confidence. And now, Isla truly felt like she was stepping into her own power. *** Stephanie Jeremy sat upright at the long polished table, her back straight and her expression calm. Her eyes were sharp, observant, missing nothing. Beside her sat Stone, equally focused, his hands folded in front of him. Stephanie Jeremy was not just anyone. She had once been Anna Wyndham’s personal assistant, back when Anna still carried the name with pride. Yet, despite working so closely with Anna, Stephanie’s loyalty had never

I gave her a sad smile of gratitude as she proceeded to clip my hair on top of my head and comb and cut the length that was left down. Steph was super chatty as she snipped away at my dark locks. Once she got talking, there was no stopping her. So much like Mom, I thought again. I discovered she had four kids: one boy and three girls. Her eldest child was named Briar, and she was twenty-five and had just obtained a degree in interior design. She was currently touring Canada and, by the sounds of it, trying to find a boyfriend. Her second daughter, and second youngest was Sophie, who was my age, and studying journalism at Kempthorne University. Her youngest girl, Laurel, was seventeen and in

“I’m leaving, buddy. I will try to come back before lunch time.” “Dude, aren’t you planning to bring Lawrence with you? I’m sure he will be happy if you will give this chance to him.” Ivan muttered. “No. I am afraid that he will dream of her again if he saw her again,” he responded before he finally left his friend. Steph is occupied in cleaning her room while she is waiting for her take out order in a well-known online fast-food store. She touches her abdomen due to a hunger that she is feeling as it is grumbling.

"I know that Janey likes you whether she admits it or not. I know that you like her from the way you undressed her with your eyes at the graduation party, but Janey needs someone stable." Was I not stable? I felt the beer can waver in my hand from my grip. Steven stood in the corner, leaned against the wall. His face told me that he was here because Stephanie thought he was good for her. "Where is Jane again?" I asked. "Shower," Steven answered. "That's a long damn shower," I mumbled. "Did you hear me?" Stephanie asked, waving her hand to get my attention. I leaned forward on my elbows against the kitchen counter, sliding my tongue across my teeth.

Lily couldn't stop the smile approaching her lips as she went back to eating her food. After they finished eating breakfast, a light knock came from the door and Stephanie walked in. She wore a thick red and black sweater with gold 'Merry Christmas' letters written across the front. She had shaved her head completely, small gold hoops dangled from her ears. She closed the door behind herself, holding a black leather bag. "Stephanie, you look amazing." Lily complimented the She-Wolf. She inclined her head, a faint smile on her lips before looking around the room at the extra audience.

I don’t miss that Stephanie is conveniently seated right beside Harlan, or the way she never passes up a chance to let their arms brush. The delicious caviar tastes like cardboard on my tongue. I lost my appetite a long time ago. “So, Stephanie,” Ozias Rousseau finally breaks the uncomfortable silence, “how’s school going? I heard you’re already a junior litigant at your uncle’s law firm in Korea.” Stephanie’s gorgeous face becomes even prettier as she smiles at him. “School is pretty hectic but nothing I can’t handle. My team won their first ever court case last week, so everything is sailing smoothly at the moment.”

"But a word of advice? Steven doesn't like clingy employees. Keep it professional." She straightened and walked to the elevator, her heels clicking on the marble floor. I sat there, my face burning. Alexander cleared his throat awkwardly. "Don't let her get to you. Ms Lawson can be... difficult." That was one word for it. The rest of the day crawled by. I answered phones, filed documents, and tried not to look at Steven's office. Tried not to think about Bianca's kiss on his cheek. Tried not to wonder if they were together now. Really together.
