"But what?" Sidney asked, still puzzled.Maria sank into the couch, her slender body relaxed as she gazed at Sidney. "Miss Powell's suggestion actually gave me an idea. If you and I got married, the studio would become shared property. You wouldn’t have to pay a cent to run it, and I could take off and live my carefree life."Sidney stared at her, utterly bewildered. "Marriage?""That’s right." Maria nodded, resting her chin on her hand and giving him a playful wink. "What do you think? Interested?"Without a word, Sidney turned and headed for the door.This was insane.First Fawn, now Maria—was every woman in his life losing their mind?"I’m telling you, if you walk away now, this opportunity won’t come around again. I’m being reasonable today, but who knows about tomorrow?" Maria called after him, her tone teasing but calm.His only response was the sound of the door closing behind him."Tsk..." Maria muttered to herself.He had his principle, huh? Men with that kind of integrity we

"Mmm..." Maria sat on Sidney’s lap, genuinely contemplating his offer, though she certainly wasn’t sitting still. Her soft hands wandered, occasionally brushing against his chest muscles, then his abs.Her legs were no better—tightening and loosening, shifting against him in a teasing rhythm.Sidney’s throat tightened, and with a sudden grip on her waist, his voice came out hoarse. "Can you stop moving?"Maria shook her head, a playful glint in her eyes. "Nope."Without warning, she leaned in and kissed him.This time, Sidney didn’t pull away—he couldn’t. Her lips were soft, full of temptation, and her cool hands slid under his shirt, exploring his toned muscles.Every inch of Sidney’s body tensed, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he swallowed hard. Suddenly, he took control, cupping the back of her head and deepening the kiss.A flash of triumph passed through Maria’s eyes as she let him take the lead, enjoying the way he kissed her back.The car was soon filled with the sound of heavy bre

Sidney glanced down at Maria in his arms. Her eyes were closed, and a soft blush still colored her cheeks, her expression one of complete satisfaction. The hint of seduction lingered in the curve of her lips, which were now swollen from their earlier kiss.His breath deepened as he recalled what had just happened in the car. Tightening his hold on her, he strode purposefully toward the apartment building.Maria remained still, enjoying the warmth of his embrace. The corners of her lips tugged upward in a subtle smile.When they reached her door, Sidney said, "Unlock the door."Maria, half-asleep, lazily lifted her hand from under the jacket and pressed her fingerprint to the lock. The door clicked open.Sidney shook his head with a trace of amusement. "Still too weak to do anything?"Maria nestled closer into his chest, murmuring, "Mmhmm.""Not even enough strength to open the door?" Sidney asked, his tone teasing.She chuckled softly. "Maybe just enough for that."She reached out

In the photo, Maria’s elegant smile lit up the frame, her eyes fixed on the camera with effortless grace, while Sidney’s gaze rested on her, clear and steady, tinged with curiosity. His sharp, clean-cut features only added to the charm of the moment, creating a sense of intimacy in the captured image. Sidney noticed the picture but didn’t protest—at this point, he was indifferent to what she did. Their relationship was complicated enough as it was.Maria, on the other hand, was thrilled with the photo. She immediately set it as her lock screen and posted it on her social media. Within minutes, she received a flood of likes and comments, but she ignored them for the time being.Putting her phone aside, she rested her chin on her hand and gazed at Sidney."You said you were hungry," Sidney commented in his usual calm tone.Without missing a beat, Maria replied, "Haven’t you heard of the saying ‘feast for the eyes’?"Sidney paused mid-bite, casting a cool glance her way. "If you’re no

"Huh?" Maria looked at the text message, finding it almost laughable. Mary? Her mother?She had grown up in an orphanage and was later handpicked and trained by Lucas. There was a time when she had searched for her biological parents, but the technology back then wasn’t advanced enough to find them.After some time, she gave up. Now, out of nowhere, someone claimed to be her mother?Maria stared at the message for a moment, deep in thought, before getting up and heading into another room.The room was soundproof, and the computer equipment was state-of-the-art. She powered up her computer and quickly began tracking the number. Her fingers danced across the keyboard, and soon enough, the screen was filled with the information she had been looking for.She clicked through the data, stopping at a photo of a family of three. The man appeared humble, and the woman looked tired and worn out, but her features hinted at a once-beautiful face. It wasn’t hard to imagine that she had been quite

She appeared carefree and audacious. Maria's demeanor was the perfect mix of frustratingly playful yet deeply disarming. As she lounged lazily in her chair, Sidney watched her in silence, contemplating his next move. Finally, he broke the silence. "I want forty percent.""No," Maria replied casually, but her tone left no room for negotiation. "Thirty percent."Sidney sighed deeply, feeling the weight of her unwavering decision. Maria, noticing his frustration, flashed a teasing smile. "Or, we can go back to my original offer—you marry me, and it all becomes our shared property. No need to split anything."Sidney's response was swift. "Let’s just sign the contract."Maria raised an eyebrow, amused. Clearly, marriage wasn’t on his agenda. “Tsk...”Was he a fool for passing up such a convenient offer? She called the legal team, quickly preparing the contract. Once everything was in place, both of them signed, making Sidney an official partner and operator of the studio.With the pa

Desmond immediately received Maria's message.All of them had a special distress program written by Maria on their phones—one press, and their location would be synced instantly.At that moment, Desmond was at the airport. He frowned as he read the distress message.Maria was in trouble!But he had to fly abroad right away—Lucas had just assigned him a task that needed to be completed as soon as possible!After a brief moment of thought, something came to him, and he dialed a number."Hello?" A clear, pleasant male voice answered.Desmond said, "Hello, Mr. Troy, I'm Mr. Tudor's assistant, Desmond Blake. We've met before."Sidney briefly recalled and quickly remembered him, then asked curiously, "Mr. Blake, what can I do for you?"Desmond responded, "I'm sending you a location. You need to go there and find Maria. Something has happened to her. I'm too far away to make it."Sidney frowned. "What happened to her?"Desmond replied, "I don't know. Just go quickly." After saying that, he

How disgusting!Maria's whole body recoiled in disgust, but she was utterly powerless to move.What could she do?Was this really how it would end for her today?She forced her eyes open, glaring at the man. Though her vision was blurred, her gaze was sharp and cold, like a blade dipped in poison, cutting through the air with chilling menace.The man froze for a moment.That look... it felt murderous.But so what?Once she was under him, she’d be begging for more soon enough.Unfazed by the warning in her eyes, the man reached out and began to undo her clothes."Ding-dong!"Suddenly, the doorbell rang.The man hesitated. Who would come at this time?"Who’s there?"He was visibly annoyed, just about to get what he wanted, and now interrupted.There was no response. He walked to the door and glanced through the peephole but saw nothing.What was going on?He turned to walk back, but the doorbell rang again.It had to be someone playing a prank.He decided he’d give them a warning, or th

Jolie stirred, her eyes fluttering open in the dimly lit cabin. The sharp, handsome features of the man before her were so close that she could feel the warmth of his breath. His lips, carrying his familiar scent, gently traced hers, as if torn between waking her and letting her sleep. Her breath hitched, a brief moment of confusion washing over her. Gavin noticed and, in response, pressed a firm kiss to her lips. "Did I wake you?" "You did that on purpose," Jolie replied, her voice soft and husky from sleep. "Mm." Gavin didn’t deny it, his tone unapologetic as he leaned down to kiss her again. Still groggy, Jolie found herself caught off guard, his lips capturing hers with a growing intensity. By the time she realized what was happening, he had deepened the kiss, his tongue teasing and tangling with hers in an intoxicating rhythm. Her breath quickened, and she instinctively pushed against him. Gavin pulled back, only to trail kisses along her cheek and down her neck, his

The night air was cool, a gentle breeze slipping through the car window and lifting the strands of hair framing her face. They fluttered across her vision, briefly distracting her, yet she could still clearly see his eyes. At that moment, the unease and uncertainty stirring in her chest melted away, replaced by an inexplicable sense of calm. It felt as though there was nothing he couldn’t handle. As long as he wanted to. Jolie smiled softly and said, "Alright." When they arrived at the private airstrip, the captain came forward to exchange a few words with Gavin. Standing nearby, Jolie watched and couldn’t resist asking, "How long will you be staying?" Gavin glanced at her. "How long do you want me to stay?" The overly intimate tone of his words, spoken with such casual ease, caught her off guard. Her cheeks flushed immediately—especially since there were others around to hear it. Lowering her gaze shyly, she murmured, "You can stay as long as you want." She turned he

Gavin looked at her, his gaze steady, and replied in a calm voice, "You’ve got the leverage to do it." Oh... Jolie’s heart skipped a beat, her pulse momentarily thrown off rhythm. What was this feeling? It was as if someone was spoiling her, cherishing her unconditionally. Even though it was just a simple conversation, it carried a warmth she couldn’t ignore. For a moment, she realized that what she once thought was affection and care had been nothing but an illusion. A smile unconsciously curved on her lips as her eyes lit up. "Does this mean I can walk around Larbor City like I own the place?" Gavin raised an eyebrow. "Are you a crab?" Jolie burst into laughter, her mood instantly lifted by his quick-witted remark. Her earlier irritation dissipated, replaced by lightheartedness. Whether or not he meant it, the fact that he sided with her made her happy. "I’m full. Should we head out?" she asked, her appetite long gone after everything that had happened earlier.

The girl stared in disbelief, her hands clutching her face. "You hit me?" Jolie blinked innocently at her. "Weren’t you the one insisting I hit you earlier? I just gave you another slap to match your story. You should be used to it by now." "Jolie Quin!" Ian had reached his limit, his voice full of anger as he glared at her. "Apologize to her!" Jolie glanced at him, her expression calm but icy. "Get lost." She had thought he might be reasonable, but clearly, he was blinded by infatuation. She had no patience to deal with him any longer and turned to leave. Before she could take a step, Ian grabbed her arm roughly. "Jolie, you’re not leaving without apologizing! I don’t think I’ve ever wronged you, have I? We used to get along just fine, didn’t we?" "Let go," Jolie said, her brows knitting in disgust. She hated being touched, especially by someone she considered beneath her. Ian tightened his grip, his hand digging into her arm hard enough to cause pain. "Jolie, yo

Jolie was completely baffled, a string of question marks running through her mind. But when the girl suddenly dropped to her knees, it genuinely startled her.She quickly reached out to help her up. "Get up first. We can talk properly."Before Jolie could react, the girl grabbed her hand and slapped herself hard across the face with it.Smack!The crisp sound echoed in the quiet hallway, leaving Jolie frozen in shock."Why did you hit me?" The girl, who had just been crying like an innocent damsel in distress, now clutched her face and loudly accused her. "Ian and I are the real couple! You’re the one coming between us. How could you hit me?"Jolie blinked, completely dumbfounded, as the girl’s voice rang out.A few passersby paused, glancing over to witness the commotion.Meanwhile, Ian, who had been waiting and wondering why his girlfriend hadn’t returned, came looking for her. The scene he walked into—his girlfriend on the ground, crying and accusing Jolie—made him stride forward,

The person in the hallway glanced at her briefly but quickly looked away, as though she were a stranger. Jolie’s hand, lifted halfway to wave, stalled in mid-air.What... was that? Gavin noticed her reaction and asked in a low voice, "What’s wrong?" "Nothing," Jolie replied, shaking her head and brushing it off. The man outside was Ian. Pretending not to know her was probably his way of avoiding unnecessary trouble—after all, they had already "broken up." The door to their private room shut completely, and Gavin hadn’t seen Ian or his group. He turned back to her and asked, "Do you come here often?" "Yeah," Jolie nodded. "I come here a lot with friends." So, this was one of her favorite hidden gems. The fact that she was willing to share it with him felt significant somehow. Gavin caught himself lingering on that thought and was momentarily taken aback by his own reaction. He kept his expression neutral, not letting on what had crossed his mind. The food arrived qui

The reason it wasn’t the same was simple—her plan would fall apart if she got caught.Of course, that wasn’t something she could admit.Jolie simply said, "I just don’t want any unnecessary complications. Since you’ve already arranged the flight, let’s just leave directly."Gavin’s dark eyes fixed on her for a moment, but he didn’t press the issue.It was clear she didn’t want to talk about it any further, so he let it drop.When the elevator doors opened, the two of them walked out together. A car was already waiting at the entrance. Gavin, ever the gentleman, opened the door for her.The car pulled away from Cooper Enterprises, and Gavin asked, "What do you want to eat?"Jolie, busy typing on her phone, replied, "I know a good restaurant."It was a cozy place she loved, one she often visited with her friends."Alright," Gavin replied, pulling out his phone to respond to some emails. With his work condensed into such a tight schedule, he seized every spare moment to handle it.Jolie p

Gavin suddenly recalled Wilfried's words, "That girl doesn’t even like you."Lowering his gaze slightly, Gavin pushed the thought aside without explanation, his expression remaining cool and indifferent as he watched her. After Jolie finished looking through the photos, she turned to him and asked, "Why do you have pictures of all these women?" "My father brought them over," Gavin replied. "Oh." Jolie nodded knowingly and didn’t press further. It was easy enough to figure out—the Cooper family obviously wanted him to consider an arranged marriage, so they sent over these photos for him to choose from. She could understand that. In fact, she even helped him look through them, just in case one of these women turned out to be a good match for him. After all, their relationship wasn’t meant to last forever. When he grew tired of her and she had her fun, they’d part ways, and everything would return to normal. As she neatly organized the photos and placed them back on the ta

It was Jolie’s first time visiting Cooper Enterprises, and she couldn’t help but feel a sense of curiosity about the place.No, to be precise, it was her first time stepping into any corporate office. The Quin family also had company, but she had never visited, nor had Daisy or Terence ever asked her to.The private elevator for the CEO was stunningly opulent, its polished surface gleaming like a mirror, perfectly reflecting their images. Jolie’s heart began to race with an inexplicable excitement.The assistant glanced at her and said with a warm smile, "Miss Quin, there’s no need to be nervous. Mr. Cooper will definitely be delighted to see you."Jolie nodded and replied, "I’m not nervous."The elevator moved swiftly, and as they neared the executive office, Jolie adjusted her cap and mask, pulling them snugly to hide her face as much as possible.Meanwhile, near the adjacent employee elevator, Rosalie was holding a stack of files, ready to head downstairs.She froze the moment she s
