I opened my eyes, the room spinning around me, as the throbbing ache in my head intensified.

"Arrgh… Bloody hell! What did I do…?" I groaned out.

Confusion washed over me as I tried to piece together the events of the previous night.

My memory was a hazy canvas, fragmented and scattered.

The last thing I remembered was drinking with Jace, a man whose presence brought both comfort and mystery and my very saviour.

As the memories slowly trickled back, I was struck by a wave of shock and embarrassment.

Hell, I was a mess yesterday.

I recalled my frenzied behavior, my desperate plea for him to sleep with me, and even attempting to undress him.

The way I kissed him, the need, how I stroked his hard on through his trousers.

Gosh! Shame and regret coursed through my veins. I feel my cheeks become hot and flushed crimson from embarrassment as I realized the extent of my actions.

I cover my face with both palms as the memory replayed in my head all over again.

With every second, the more I fel

    As soon as her clothes were delivered, she placed them on the bed and went to freshen up. Once done, she picked up her phone attempting to call Jace about her car when her eyes landed on something.The world seemed to spin as the onslaught of notifications came rolling in.Her heart sank as she scrolled through the trending news—articles, photos, and rumours all swirling around Nicholas and her, their broken relationship, and the games they played.Images of Nicholas and Cristal, blurred and elusive, along with pictures of Jace and her flooded the screen.Her mind raced, trying to make sense of the chaos unfolding before her eyes."Tsk, these bastards," she cussed out loud.With a sense of urgency, she hastily changed into the beautiful light purple gown that Jace had gotten for her and rushed to the hospital where her grandfather lay.As she entered his ward, she was met with the unsettling sight of her uncle, Ray, wearing a devious grin."Hello, Kiera. Welcome," Ray announced, his s

    Kiera’s eyes glimmered with joy as she stared at Van. She was touched by her grandfather’s support. The conversation with her grandfather had both comforted and unnerved her.She originally expected him to oppose her divorce from Nicholas in order to save face and consider the power the Relish Group held over their lives. But instead, he had prioritized her happiness over their business ties.“I am sorry, Van. I never meant to be rash with my words, Diana apologized.Van looked at Kiera, still wearing a smile on his face, he nodded. “Give me a second, I have something to discuss with you.”Shifting his gaze to them, he dismissed them at once. “Ray, Diana, I would like to be alone with my granddaughter. Thanks for coming.”With how angry he almost got just now, Diana did not need a second telling as to when to leave. Quickly she lowered her head respectfully and walked away, but not before stealing another glance at Diana.This time she hoped she would not push through with her plans.

    Soon, Friday arrived, and Kiera anxiously stood in front of the city council, waiting for Nicholas to appear. However, as the minutes ticked by, he was nowhere to be seen.She lifted her hand and gazed at her watch. It was already 45 minutes since ehr arrival yet that mongrel was nowhere to be found.With frustration mounting, Kiera dialled his number and waited for him to answer his call.“Hello?”“The nerve, Nicholas,” she commented sharply.“I…”“Save it,” she cut in, her voice tinged with impatience. “You better come to the city council as soon as possible. Come and let’s finalize our divorce.”Nicholas's voice crackled through the phone, filled with defiance. "I've told you before, Kiera. I'm not getting a divorce. So suck it up and accept it.”A mischievous smile appeared on her lips as she took a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure."Nicholas Relish, let me remind you this, even if you don't come, according to the regulations, a two-year separation will automatically

    As Kiera stepped out of the city hall, a sense of relief washed over her. She had achieved her goal, finally obtaining the divorce she had been seeking.It felt like a dream come through, as though the shackles that weighed down on her neck were broken.Without thinking too much she walked away from Nicholas with thoughts of how she wished to celebrate her new found independence.On the other hand, Nicholas couldn't help but feel a bitter taste in his mouth, a sour reminder of what he had lost. Watching Kiera from a distance, he silently stewed in his own emotions.Kiera stood at the roadside, patiently waiting for a taxi to whisk her away. In the midst of her anticipation, Nicholas's assistant approached in a sleek black car.Reluctantly, Nicholas cast a glance her way but seeing as she did not pay him any attention, he climbed into the vehicle."Good day sir," his P.A, Dan greeted the second the door closef."Hmm.

    ~Kiera's pov~I exhaled a sigh of relief as I walked out of the courthouse. The divorce had been finalized, and a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. It had been a long and exhausting battle, but now I could finally move on with my life.I reached for my phone and decided to call an Uber to take me back home. I summoned a ride, expecting a prompt response, but time dragged on with no sign of a driver.Minutes turned into what felt like an eternity, and frustration began to creep in.Why was it taking so long to find a driver?Just as I was about to give up and try another ride-sharing app, a sleek, luxury car pulled up in front of me.I furrowed my brows in confusion, not expecting such a high-end vehicle to be my Uber. My confusion turned to surprise when I saw Jace emerge from the sleek vehicle. I couldn't help but voice my bewilderment."What are you doing here?" I blurted out, curiosity lacing my words.A warm smile played on his lips as he approached, his eyes filled with ge

    Walking into his office, Kiera slammed her hand against his desk. The atmosphere crackled with tension as Kiera stood before her uncle, Ray, her anger simmering just beneath the surface, their voices echoing through the room.Her strong disposition radiated, refusing to be overshadowed by his condescending demeanour and she wasted no time in expressing her frustration."Do you not understand basic etiquette, Ray?" Kiera's voice dripped with disdain, her eyes flashing with defiance as her strong disposition commanded the room.Ray raised an eyebrow, his gaze piercing through her with a mixture of defiance and curiosity. "And what have you done, Kiera? The Relish Group is pulling out of the investment. Did you really think you could sever ties with Nicholas and not face any consequences?"Kiera had anticipated some form of retaliation following her divorce from Nicholas, knowing that it would inevitably fracture the cooperation between the Relish Group and Campbell.However, she had not

    After dealing with some work at the office, Kiera decided to visit the club for a drink. Kiera entered the club, and made her way to one of the booths, hoping to have time alone when she saw the booth she was to occupy was a double booth and the other occupant was none other than Nicholas.“You have got to be kidding me,” she muttered under her breath as she stared at the smirk on his face when he caught sight of her.“Hey, Kiera. Are you stalking me now?” Nicholas mused.Kiera scoffed. She had been shocked by his presence but his usual remark further irked her but this… there had to be an explanation and she wanted it.“What do you mean by all this, Nicholas?”“What do you mean by that?”Kiera's mind buzzed with confusion and frustration as she confronted Nicholas in the occupied booth.Placing a hand on her waist, her eyes darkened as she questioned once more. “Is disrupting the Campbell not enough? Now you even wish to become a pest in my life.”“I do not know what you mean Kiera.

    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 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 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

    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

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.

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
