“What has come over you, Miss Bennett?” Mr. Luke snapped. “You have no right to come into my office and ask me not to defend my client. With all due respect, leave.”“I’ll pay you double whatever you’ll earn from Raymond’s case if you don’t defend him. Or I could show the judge what I have on you if you insist on taking the case. Which do you prefer?” she asked, leaning back in her chair.Mr. Luke’s voice softened. “What do you have on me?”“You don’t need to see it. I’ll just show it to the judge and your family. That’s all,” she said.“What do you want from me, Miss Bennett?”“Now you’re talking. I want you to take a break. Go on vacation until Raymond’s case is over. That’s all.”“I can’t leave now. I have too much to do.”“I won’t waste time convincing you

❗How would you feel if your husband invited his mistress over on your honeymoon?❗ ~~~~~~~~ The grand hall doors swung open, revealing the most beautiful bride of the year standing at the entrance with her father. Her expression was blurred by the piercing rays of the sun. She hesitated, her eyes scanning the surroundings. Today was supposed to be the happiest day of her life—if only the marriage was for love, and not some damn business arrangement. "Compose yourself, Eureka," her father whispered, tightening his grip on her trembling hand. "You know what will happen if you mess things up. We will be doomed forever." His tone was laced with both anger and fear. This marriage was their last hope, and if Eureka messed up, only God could define their fate. "Let’s keep going. Don’t get the crowd suspicious," he added, pulling Eureka along, though her steps faltered. She had dreaded this day for weeks, ever since her father announced her marriage to Raymond Blackwood, a man she bar

She couldn’t unsee what she had just seen. Her supposed groom was in the dressing room, kissing Cassandra hungrily as if his life depended on it.“You are all I’ve ever wanted, Cassy,” Raymond’s words were soft, almost inaudible as he pulled away from the kiss.“Then why did you have to choose her?” Cassandra’s voice was faint, almost choking on her words. “If you love me, why did you have to marry that slut?”Each word pierced Eureka’s heart like a sharp knife.“I’ve told you about it. My father forced this union, and that opportunist is taking advantage,” Raymond spat, his tone laced with disgust. It tore Eureka apart from where she stood. “If it were up to me, I’d choose you over and over again. I just can’t wait for this façade to end. We’ll be together again, trust me,” he assured Cassandra, his words a soothing balm against her troubled expression.And to think Cassandra was Eureka’s best friend made it all the more painful. Raymond had been rumored to have a girlfriend he loved

This was her moment; she had to enjoy it to the fullest. Even though she didn’t want this union, it was still her wedding, and she couldn’t let Raymond’s foolishness ruin it for her. “Let’s take pictures,” Eureka told him, her smile unwavering as the photographer stepped forward. “I have important things to do,” Raymond said, walking away from her. She felt a pang in her chest as she watched him exchange pleasantries with his business partners who had just arrived. Marriage was supposed to be a lifetime commitment. How was she supposed to manage it? She excused herself and went into the dressing room. The moment she took a seat in front of the vanity table, wiping the tears that slid down her face, her mother appeared behind her. Eureka felt a deep relief, hoping her mother would take the pain away. “What do you think you’re doing, Eureka?” her mother’s sharp tone shattered every hope Eureka had for comfort. “What if someone else had walked in here to see you like this? Do yo

“I thought I told you not to invite her?” Raymond’s father scolded as he pulled Raymond aside. “What will society say when they see your ex-girlfriend on your wedding day? Why were you smiling with her? Why were you even talking to her?” His father was furious, and Raymond couldn’t afford to enrage him further. “I didn’t invite her, Dad,” Raymond said, his voice sharp. “She’s the bride’s best friend, so she has every right to be here.” “If you know she’s the bride’s best friend, then why are you frolicking around her?” his father’s tone remained tight, his eyes burning with rage. “Listen, Raymond. I won’t have you misbehave on your wedding day. If you know what’s good for you, stay away from Cassandra. Act like you’ve never seen her in your entire life. If I notice anything suspicious or hear whispers about you being near Cassandra, I don’t need to tell you what will happen,” his father warned, storming away. Raymond clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with anger. He deeply rese

It was late in the night when they arrived. The room was dimly lit with a soft blue lamp. Balloons, ribbons, and elegant bold lettering proclaiming “Happy Married Life” adorned the wall above the headboard. Rose petals forming a heart shape were on the floor, with a lit candle in the middle. Raymond stood still, taking in the breathtaking view of the room, but to him, it felt awkward. His face held nothing akin to admiration but a sneer. “Why is the room dark?” he groaned, slamming his fist against the wall to turn on the white light. “Why is the room littered? I thought they said they fixed everything. Rita!” he yelled, calling for the housekeeper. Rita rushed in almost immediately, her breath quickened. “You called me, Sir,” she said, her voice faltering. Out of tiredness, Eureka sat on a stool, taking off her jewelry while ignoring her husband’s rantings. “Why is the room littered? What’s all this? Look at the bed. Why are there flowers on the bed?

“What are you doing here?” Eureka snapped, still holding the door ajar. Cassandra raised an eyebrow. “Won’t you at least allow your best friend to enter?” Cassandra said sarcastically, a pretentious smile fueling her face. Eureka’s blood boiled at the mention of her being her best friend. “Best friend indeed. You’re not worth being an acquaintance. A wolf in sheep’s clothing, that’s what you are. Now turn around and get lost,” Eureka said, pointing her finger angrily behind Cassandra. “Baby,” Cassandra cried as she sighted Raymond coming their way. “Your little vixen doesn’t want to let me in.” The force at which Raymond pulled Eureka away from the door made her stumble back, almost falling. “Babe,” Raymond smiled, embracing Cassandra with all the warmth he possessed. “I didn’t know your flight would arrive so early. Why didn’t you call me to come pick you up? Hope it wasn’t stressful locating this place,” he said as he broke free from the hug, his eyes bright and his tone chee

Eureka couldn’t believe her ears as she stared at him, her chest heaving with anger and frustration. “I hate you, Raymond,” she muttered, her voice barely audible, her eyes stern on his. “But leaving this room for Cassandra? That’s never going to happen,” she dared him, sitting back on the stool and wiping the tears trickling down her face.“Baby,” Cassandra’s voice broke the tense atmosphere. Raymond’s intense gaze softened as he looked toward the door, where Cassandra stood yawning. “I’m sleepy, baby. Go get my bags from the other room,” she said, walking toward the bed.“I’m coming,” Raymond replied, sounding like the devoted lover he was, before leaving the room.“How does it feel, Eureka?” Cassandra’s sleepy tone vanished, replaced by a sharp, taunting one as she settled on the bed. “I can easily command your dear husband to do whatever I want. The sooner you pack up and leave this room, the better for everyone. This is my honeymoon now, and you’re the unwanted third party,” she

The following morning, Eureka headed downstairs, yawning and stretching. She had slept heavily and didn’t realize Raymond had entered the room she was in. Reaching the living room, her eyes scanned the space. “Rita!” she called out, yawning again. She knocked on Rita’s door, but there was no response. She searched the kitchen, checked outside, and looked everywhere she thought Rita might be. “Shit!” she cursed, suddenly remembering she had locked Raymond and Cassandra in the bathroom. She rushed upstairs, her slippers echoing through the quiet house. Bursting through the door, she froze at the sight of Cassandra sleeping peacefully on the bed. The scene twisted her stomach. She wanted to drag Cassandra out of bed, but knowing Raymond would retaliate, she sighed and quietly closed the door. As she turned to head back downstairs, she came face to face with Raymond, his eyes narrowed and fixed on her. “Your plan failed,” he mocked, stepping closer. Eureka instinctively stepped

Eureka entered Mr. Mathews’ house, leaving the door open. “Mr. Mathews?” she called out. He didn’t respond. “Mr. Mathews, come down quickly,” she demanded, pacing back and forth in the living room. Mr. Mathews, who had been in the bathroom, stepped onto the balcony, shirtless, with a white towel wrapped around his waist.“Why are you shouting, Miss Bennett? Where are my housekeepers?” he asked.“Is that what you’re worried about now? Come down quickly.”“Give me a minute. Let me change,” he said, turning toward his room.“Don’t, please,” she stopped him. “You look just perfect like that.” Her eyes flickered to the door as Raymond’s car rolled into the compound. She gestured for him to hurry.“What’s the problem?” Mr. Mathews asked as he stepped into the living room.“Just be ready for a punch,” she whispered, pressing her lips to his. “Don’t fight back,” she added before kissing him again. Mr. Mathews didn’t bother asking who was about to punch him. He just kissed her back, his hands

Not long after Tracy left, Geraldine entered, holding a cleaning rag. “Hi, boss,” she greeted warmly. If Raymond had thought Tracy’s outfit was too revealing, he had been mistaken. When he looked at Geraldine, all he saw was an exposed woman standing before him. The short gown she wore barely covered her flawless thighs, her long, wavy hair was tied in a ponytail, and worst of all, the dress was off-the-shoulder.Raymond tried to focus on the papers in front of him, but he couldn’t. “Don’t you girls have uniforms?” he snapped, startling Geraldine, who had her back to him while cleaning the TV.“What, boss?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly.Raymond softened his voice, sensing her fear. “Do you girls have uniforms?” he repeated.“Yes, sir. This is it,” she said, pointing at her dress. Raymond narrowed his eyes as he took in her appearance from head to toe.“This is your uniform?”“Yes, boss,” she confirmed.“This is unbelievable,” he muttered. “You know what? Just go change int

Raymond looked between Eureka and the four women standing before him. She had promised to get him new staff, but not temptation. They were young, vibrant, sexy, and curvy—just the way he liked his women.“They come highly recommended,” Eureka began. “I’m sure they won’t leave like your former staff did. This is Tracy, Geraldine, Frances, and Deborah,” she introduced them. “Only Tracy is the cook; the others are housekeepers.”“Um, ladies, meet your boss, Mr. Raymond Blackwood. He likes his house clean and sparkling. And don’t get on his nerves—he can be hot-tempered,” she added.“Nice meeting you, boss,” the women chorused.“Just… just show them around,” Raymond said, standing. “I’ll be upstairs.”“I’ll join you soon,” she told him. “Come on, ladies, let me show you around,” Eureka said, walking towards the kitchen. The women followed her.Some minutes later, Eureka entered the room to find Raymond pacing back and forth. “Babe, what’s wrong?” she asked.“Where did you get those girls?

“Mom?” Desmond called, entering his mother’s room. She was seated on the bed, taking her medicine. “Have you seen Kaiden? He’s not in his room.”“He went out,” his mother replied curtly.“What? Why would you let him go out?”“What do you mean? He said he wanted some fresh air. You don’t think I can stop him, do you?”“I’m going to find him,” Desmond said and stormed out.He tried calling Kaiden several times on the way, but each time, Kaiden rejected the calls. “Damn it, Kaiden. Where the hell are you?” Desmond muttered, scanning the street as he walked, his heart racing. “What will I tell your mom? She’s going to kill me for sure,” he whined and dialed his number again, but it was busy. He thought Kaiden was calling him back, but no.“Kaiden?” Desmond called, spotting Kaiden loitering on the street, his eyes fixed on the house they had visited a few days ago. “What are you doing here?”“I should be asking you,” Kaiden retorted, not sparing Desmond a glance.“Why did you leave the hou

“We’ve arrived safely, ma’am,” Desmond told Eureka over the phone.She was seated behind her polished desk in the office. Two middle-aged men sat opposite her, waiting patiently.“I’m glad. You know what? You two don’t have to come back so soon. Take care of your mom until she’s stable, and please let me know when you’d like to return,” she said.“Is there a problem?”“Not at all. Try spending two weeks there. Keep Kaiden busy—maybe he’ll get over her better in a new environment.”“As you wish, ma’am. Thank you.”She hung up. “Sorry about the intrusion, gentlemen. Family first. So, have you decided on our deal?” Eureka asked, refocusing on her visitors.“I’ll sell my shares,” one of them said. “I’ve invested in a lot of other companies anyway.”“I can’t easily sell my shares without the Blackwood’s consent. It’s unconventional for an investor to sell without informing the other party involved. There are complications,” the other man said.“What complications, Mr. Thompson? You’re the

“What happened?” Eureka asked as she received a call from Desmond. She was seated on the bed in Raymond’s room, her back relaxed against the headboard. Raymond was in the bathroom, freshening up. She had spent the night at his place.“Is he fine?” she added.“He’s alright, ma’am, but there’s a problem,” Desmond responded. “My mom is sick, and I’m her only child. I need to go see her, but Kaiden is insisting on going with me instead of going back to your place,” he said.“I’m sorry about your mom. Where’s Kaiden now? Can you put him on the phone?” she asked.“Just a minute, ma’am.”There was a brief silence as Eureka waited patiently. She could hear Desmond’s footsteps, confirming he was heading to Kaiden’s place.“Kaiden, your mom’s on the phone,” Desmond said. “Your mom, Kaiden,” he repeated.“Can you stop bugging me?” Kaiden snapped. Eureka could feel his irritation over the phone. “How many times do I have to tell you I’m an orphan?”His words cut through her heart like a sharp kni
