“Beverly, please step down. I know how you’re feeling. I know how devastated you must be but please don’t do this.” Lies. I know nothing or her devastation. I can’t even comprehend it because she knew what she was doing when she walked right in front of that car. So unlike the doctor, I know this
KIAN’S POV Beverly has been moved out of the ICU into a VIP ward in the hospital. She is still unconscious after the life threatening stunt she pulled mere minutes ago but the doctors say it’s nothing serious. It’s just from the fatigue and loss of blood from how she ripped the drip out of her arm.
LESLIE’S POV Today is the collection unveiling event of my designs that will be launched in just two months now. It’s the sneak peak of the unreleased designs that we give to the media and lovers of the company's products. I have everything I need. The venue has been set up in one of the many eve
LESLIE’S POV I try to contain my emotions but they are overwhelming and they take control of me. From my panic attack to Kian showing up like my knight in shining armor, it’s all too hard to take in at once. “Are you crying? Leslie, talk to me.” His voice breeds even more worry now as he makes me
TRAVIS’ POV Seeing Kian within a feet of Leslie never fails to make me boil in anger but seeing him right this moment, during the most important of Leslie’s life, takes me to another level of anger. I might just punch the brat in the face again and I am going to enjoy it. With Leslie gone, I look
LESLIE’S POV “Did you see Katherine West?” I ask Travis, the excitement in my tone undeniable. “The top Model in the country with over sixty million followers on in.sta.gram?” Travis responds and I nod my head, dropping my fork on the table so I can demonstrate my encounter with the famous model
KIAN’S POV I’m picking Beverly up at the hospital today. It’s been five days since the incident at the rooftop and I’ve visited her every single day until today when the hospital finally deemed her healthy enough to be discharged. “You’re late, hubby.” She says as soon as I open the door to her h
LESLIE’S POV“Please young miss, let me do it.” Mary sounds like she’s going to cry from where she stands behind me. I’ve heard her sigh too many times to count as she watched me do what she considers her job. I don’t say a word and just wring the water out of the small towel into the bowl placed o
CHAPTER 67 [ Whenever, wherever ] ~TRAVIS~ Having fallen for Sophie’s schemes more than once, I guess it was normal for my brain to process every unusual thing she does as a trick to lure me in. Perhaps, that was why I imagined her smirking when in truth, she was just as stunned as I was to fi
CHAPTER 66 [ In The Flesh ] ~TRAVIS~ They were still under the harsh glare of my headlights. While Justin didn’t exactly look his best, Sophie was…worse. An ugly sweater hung loosely over her upper frame, her hair was in a messy bun and was close to tumbling all over her face as she took Justin by
CHAPTER 65 [ The Real Deal ] ~TRAVIS~ The past week has been nothing short of exhausting. I had barely stepped foot into my office before I was bombarded with calls and meetings, my inbox flooded with contracts and reports that had piled up during the engagement trip. If it wasn’t work, it was
CHAPTER 64 [ Caged, Not Sheltered ] ~SOPHIE~ There were many questions; like how on earth she was in a place that was at least an hour's drive from her family’s mansion, and why she was chugging down cheap beer when I have only ever seen her enjoy the finest wine. The longer we stood there, wo
CHAPTER 63 [ Edge of Insanity ] ~SOPHIE~ In between the endless nightmares that were triggered by the events of the past week and waiting for Travis to reach out to me again, I had been pushed to the edge of insanity. I thought it couldn’t get any worse, but it did. It got worse. And now I
CHAPTER 62 [ Sugar Daddy ] ~SEBASTIAN~ (2) I’ll be damned if I have to suffer because my father was trying to correct his misdeeds. “Do you have a better plan?” My mother faced me squarely, an unimpressed look in her eyes. “Can’t we just ignore him? He’s too weak to do anything by himself any
CHAPTER 61 [ Daddy Dearest ] ~SEBASTIAN~ (1) “I am going to move into the estate with Sophie.” Daddy Dearest knew how to drop a bombshell—the kind that takes a while to recover from. It was also the kind that makes me wonder if all the drugs he’s been pumped full of in the past month have made
CHAPTER 60 [ The Hell for Bad Fathers ] ~SOPHIE~ I stared at him, convinced I’d misheard. “You want me to what?” My voice came out sharper than I intended, but I couldn’t help it. “Move back in,” my father repeated, his tone calm, as if he hadn’t just said something insane. Did he even hear
