After the initial shock, Iris and Carlos's parents began to show their support and love.Unlike her father, Maria could not say she did not suspect something was up between the two of them. Before when they were much younger, they’d spend so much time together, even down to sleeping on the same bed in some days, acting all caring and loving but suddenly that union and closeness stopped.She had believed it was a phase in their life and decided to let them be thinking they had outgrown such because of adolescence.Turns out they were struggling with their feelings for each other instead. She was both proud and happy that Carlos was the one Iris chose.Whether or not they had taken things further and became intimate, she did not know but as protective as she should be as a parent, she found it giddy and cute that they would be intimate with each other.In all, her support was massively sensed and appreciated.It was a heartwarming moment, and the tension that had filled the room dissipa
Carlos and Iris's engagement party was in full swing, a celebration of love that radiated throughout the room. Glistening champagne flutes clinked, laughter and animated conversations filled the air, and the dance floor beckoned to those who wanted to lose themselves in the music.Kiera had bid Cristal a quiet goodbye, their brief encounter filled with unspoken emotions.She knew that healing was a journey that Cristal needed to embark on alone, and as much as she wished to be a source of solace, Kiera understood that some wounds needed to be tended to in solitude.It was time the latter accepted it and moved on just like Nicholas did.Returning to the party, Kiera scanned the room for Jace, her heart buoyed by the love and happiness that enveloped the guests.The swirl of emotions from her earlier conversation with Cristal still lingered, but Kiera was determined to immerse herself in the joy of the evening.Finally, she spotted Jace engaged in a lively conversation with a business p
After spending some time outside, Jace led Kiera back into the house for breakfast.Quickly Kiera excused herself to brush her teeth and get prepared for breakfast.By the time she was done, she met Jace in the kitchen and headed over to assist him in carrying their meal to the dining table.“There you go.” She smiled softly. Her gaze locked with his, sharing a moment before they burst into laughter and took their seats.“I made three different types of eggs. Classic French Omelette, fried eggs with veggies, hotdog, foolproof poached eggs and soft-scrambled eggs.”“Huh…” Kiera counted with her fingers. She looked at him, her confusion slowly morphing into a smile. “I think that’s four different kinds of eggs. That is excluding the boiled eggs of course.”Jace let out a laugh at being caught. “I’m sorry love. I did not know which you would want,” Jace explained.“You should know, anything is cool with me. It’s the thought that counts mostly, Jace.” She swept her gaze across the dishes
The pristine beach stretched for miles, but the sight that captivated Kiera the most was the luxurious white yacht anchored a little distance away.Its majestic form cast a striking silhouette against the orange-hued horizon. Up till that moment, her experience at the beach had been nothing short of a surreal time.And now, staring at the yacht face to face, Kiera could only wonder what Jace had planned for her."You know," Jace uttered, drawing her out of her reverie, his hand finding hers, "when I first bought the island, this yacht was the first thing I got. It was the place where I'd imagined sharing some of our most intimate memories,” he hinted.Curious, Kiera gazed up at him, her sapphire eyes shining as she awaited more explanations. "Why the yacht when you have the entire island?"Jace shrugged, the mischievous glint in his eyes revealing more than his words."There’s something incredibly freeing about being out on the open sea. No land in sight, just the two of us and the va
Taking her by her words, Jace inserted a finger into her wetness. Kiera threw her head back, a loud moan escaping her mouth as she shut her eyes, welcoming the invading feeling of his finger.“Aah, Jace.” Her body trembled underneath him, feeling his dick poke her stomach.“Yes love?”“Faster, please,” Kiera pleaded while stoking his dick faster.Jace obliged but he ignored his need and tried his best to delay his release just so he could bring Kiera over the edge, making her extremely wet and ready to accept his dick.He was painfully erect and knew she might not be ready.He added a finger back in, keeping up the pace and watched as she bucked against his finger, before lowering his body and adding his mouth to bite and suck on her clit then went back down to lap at her entrance.In no time he felt that familiar feeling of her walls tightening again and knew she was ready to come.Rather than stopping, Jace attacked Kiera with punishing speed till he felt her thrash wildly on the be
The Island was a paradise in the truest sense. Something Kiera did not think she would have the pleasure of enjoying.Each moment spent, every second, minute, hour—was like a lifetime compensation for the pain and sad times she experienced in life, both past and present.By the time they returned to the island, the day was already far gone and Kiera wanted nothing more than a good sleep.At dawn, they walked hand in hand along the shore, their footprints getting washed away by the gentle caress of the waves.White sand beaches stretched along the coastline, contrasting the deep blue of the ocean.During their stay, they discovered a hidden lagoon nestled behind the lush green canopy on the island.Slowly, they made their way towards the place while inspecting their surroundings. Once it felt safe enough, Kiera gasped now being in the centre of nature’s beauty."Oh my goodness," she uttered in disbelief.Every place they had been to was different in its way, stealing her breath away an
Taking careful steps, a lady ascended the grand staircase of her lavish mansion with poise and grace, her billowing gown elegantly trailing behind her.Her blue dress was a masterpiece in itself, featuring intricate lace detailing and a flattering fit that accentuated her curves. She wore a matching clutch and sparkling diamond jewellery that sparkled in the dimly lit hallway.Irrespective of all the affluence around her, her eyes, once vibrant and full of life, now held a shadow of sorrow with wrinkles around them.Coming to the top of the stairs, she stood with a sad face, her features etched with an unmistakable melancholy.She had just returned from an event hosted by her company and signed two great business deals.As exhausted as she was, she was more concerned about her sick husband and returned home on time to tend to him.As she drew closer to the door of her matrimonial room, her heart raced with anticipation for what lay ahead.However, her steps faltered when she heard muf
~Kiera’s POV~If I could turn back time, I may have made different choices.Three years ago, I offered $5 billion from the Campbell Group to save Relish from financial ruin—a selfless act, driven by my love for Nicholas and my desire to secure a future together.Although at the time he did not have feelings for me, I hoped that in time, those feelings would bloom.My big mistake. Now I wonder if it had been in vain.I blinked my eyes, disoriented by the sudden change in surroundings. Instead of lying at the bottom of the stairs, I found myself on the edge of a tranquil lake, surrounded by an atmosphere of surrealism.The frigid breeze grazed my face, and as I looked around, confusion enveloped me. There, standing before me, was Nicholas.But something was off.It wasn't the familiar setting of my home or the painful aftermath of our confrontation. But…I lifted my hand to the back of my head, and my fingertips gingerly touched, searching for the blood I had expected to find.But there

~Iris’ Family House~Standing hand in hand outside the living room, Carlos and Iris’ hearts pounded with a mix of excitement and trepidation.Ever since that day on the street when they shared their feelings, they had taken their relationship to heart.Iris felt they did not need to spend more time getting to know each other considering they have known each other all their lives and practically lived together.Although Carlos tried to make her understand that living as siblings was much different now that they were seeing each other as romantic couples, Iris dissed it.To her, it was one and the same and she loved him equally. There was no need to wait.And when he proposed to her, she eagerly accepted his proposal. Now, their parent's blessings was all they needed.The warm hues of the setting sun streamed into the living room, casting a golden glow over the room.Iris took a deep breath, her fingers intertwined with Carlos's. "Are you ready for this?" she whispered with a soft smile
By the time Kiera managed to resolve all the issues in the company concerning the new eco-park, she realized how wrong she had been and needed to reach out to Nicholas and tender her promised apology.Walking towards his office from hers, Kiera took in a deep breath, trying her best to keep her head up as she prepared her mind for the whole experience.‘Deep breaths, Kiera. It is going to be alright.’ She assured herself inwardly.With that, she placed her hand on the doorknob and opened it.To her surprise, rather than meeting Nicholas in his office, it was empty and cleared out, leaving nothing of his belongings nor work documents behind save for a white envelope sitting on his desk with her name on it.“You have got to be…”She shut her eyes, unclenching her fists as her mind raced to find the right words to use at that moment.When she couldn’t get the best of it, she closed the gap between her and his desk, picking up the letter.“To Kiera,” she read out before scanning around as
In the grand boardroom of Campbell Group, the atmosphere was charged. Massive windows gave a view of the cityscape while the sleek, wooden table reflected the state-of-the-art design of the room.Ever since Nicholas joined the board meeting, Kiera could not hide the fact that she had always been on edge one way or another.Staring at her intently, Nicholas as well as the other members watched as she kick-started the meeting.As Kiera presented her new eco-park idea, murmurs of approval echoed. She had decided to build an eco-park on the land they acquired last time. The concept was groundbreaking—an immersive experience where customers could witness the entire production process of Campbell's products.Several board members were in sync with the whole idea and saw it as an opportunity to do something greater and better.However, Nicholas remained silent all through and when the murmuring had died down, he leaned back in his chair with a sceptical arch to his brow.“Ahem!”Several head
