And she needs to shine beside him.âLook, Kourt, I care about you, and it worries me.

Chapter: Chapter 172: The Most Powerful Young MistressâI should just rip this off of you! You donât deserve it! Who the hell do you think you are?â Scarlet spat, her demeanor feral, like a wild animal cornered and desperate.âJust a woman who refuses to blend into the background while you prance around like you're the queen of the world.âShocked gasps echoed through the room. The vibe in the restroom had shifted in Kourtneyâs favor.A handful of other women had already gathered around the two like bees. Some had their phones secretly pulled out and recorded the altercation as it unfolded.A supposed world-famous model and idol was behaving wildly and harassing a lady over a dressâit was surely going to make good headlines for the press.Scarlet barely even noticed they were being taped, too consumed by the red haze of jealousy and rage that clouded her judgment. âLook at you, acting like you own this place!â she shouted, her face flushed with indignation.Kourtney, standing her ground, firmly replied, âI am owning it!âScarlet noticed t

It hurt her ego so much.How could he not even acknowledge her?âJust breathe,â she murmured, leaning her we

Chapter: Chapter 61: A Sinking FeelingCatherine was well aware of the strict royal system in Australia. The expectations placed upon nobles were too extreme, and any misstep could result in public ridicule and embarrassment. She couldn't help but imagine the whispers and laughter that would ensue if word got out about her day-long nap. It was going to be a big deal, and the media would eat it up. The thought of becoming a laughingstock in the kingdom made her stomach churn with anxiety. âOh, my God. Iâm fucked!â There were a lot of eyes and ears in the palace, and if this gets out, she could as well step down as the Kingâs FiancĂ©e. As a journalist and former newspaper editor, Catherine could already imagine the thousands of humiliating front-page headlines. âLady Catherine Is Lazy And unfit to rule!â âDoes Australia Needs A Lazy queen?â âThe Jones Girl Is A Downgrade For A Queen.â âThe Royal Sleep Scandal: Lady Catherine's Day-Long Nap Raises Eyebrows in the Kingdom! âThe Future Queen Who Snoozed!â âSleeping B

Chapter: Chapter 60: Ice-Cold ShowerAfter watching her for quite some time, Shawn's hands moved with a delicate touch, helping her remove her clothes, shoes, and jewelry till she was left with just her inner, comfy wear. He let out a frustrating sigh as he gazed at Catherine's delicate figure, peacefully asleep. The way her body curved and the gentle rise and fall of her chest immediately stirred a desire within him that he couldn't ignore.The softness of her skin and the way her hair cascaded over her shoulders all added to her allure. Shawn's heart raced, his mind filled with a mixture of longing and desire. He couldn't tear his eyes away from her, his gaze tracing the contours of her body. Catherineâs absence during the past week had left a void in Shawnâs heart, and he had missed her presence more than he could have ever imagined. âShe's like a dream, a fantasy come to life.âHer body was so soft and inviting that he couldnât help but have dirty thoughts. But as much as he was captivated by Catherine's beauty,

Chapter: Chapter 59: Sleeping BeautyCatherine couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion as King Shawn's thumb continued to caress her cheek. She felt herself leaning into his touch, her eyes fluttering closed for a brief moment.She wanted to back away but couldn't find the will to. This man had a way of making her weak in the knees. She was unable to think straight.She had been extra anxious and apprehensive ever since she stepped into the grand palace, waiting for the worst to happen. All her thoughts were that he would end their relationship and maybe tell her he was getting back with his gorgeous blondie Ex.But now, the man said that he missed her. She didn't know what and how to reply to that at all. The fact that his fingers were also gently caressing her face while he stared deeply and lovingly into her eyes was also something she wasnât expecting.âWhat's wrong?ââUh?â Catherine asked with a puzzled expression on her face.âYour face⊠Are you sick?ââWhat's wrong with my face, Your Majesty?ââItâs extra flushe

Check whatâs trending at No. 1,â Steven cried out hysterically as soon as he walked into Catherineâs bedroom at the Jones Mansion.Catherine, sprawling on her elegantly adorned bed with her long brown hair cascading like a river of silk, raised an eyebrow at his urgency. She was used to her best friend's dramatic entrances, but this one seemed particularly intense.Even her pet, Zowie, who had been lazily lounging on her lap, jerked up at Steven's frantic entrance. His screams made her scared as she darted under the bed with a startled âmeow.â"Steve, keep it down. Look how you scared Zowie away. What has got you so worked up?" Catherine inquired, setting aside her favorite Colleen Hoover book.Steven, with his phone, clutched tightly in his hand, was practically vibrating with anxiety.âJust go online, Babes.
