July 8, 2024. Chapter 2-2. Thank you for waiting. Wait. What? Claire's baby is Brian's? What a disaster. Find out more in the next chapters. The next update will be tomorrow. Adrian will intervene.
“What or who inspired you to create A King’s Collection? It’s truly remarkable how a men’s jewelry set could gain such widespread fame within a week of its launch,” the TV host inquired of Riley, highlighting the unexpected success of the collection. As part of Adley’s marketing plan, they strategically utilized a brief ten-minute interview broadcast live on national TV. Despite its short duration, it was more than enough to raise their profile. “A King’s collection is actually inspired by my husband,” Riley answered with a smile. Her eyes gleamed through the television, and her smile broadened. “He did not like to wear very gleaming jewelry, so that is why the jewelry set is mostly enameled in black.”“Let’s face it. Not many jewelry pieces are designed for men, so I think that contributed to the collection’s success.” Riley touched her chest and claimed, “Adley firmly believes that men also deserve to shine.”The host chuckled with Riley. She remarked, “I can’t agree more! Even I f
Brian cried at what Adrian said. Adrian was right! Riley looked so much happier and contented now that she was with him, something that he failed to give her. Over the past few days, he had been reflecting on what he had lost. He wanted Riley back, but sadly, she was already married to Adrian. The trouble with Claire was a big eye-opener. And, of course, there was the fact that Riley had been pregnant with their child. He apparently had the perfect life but ruined it because he couldn't keep it in his pants. As Brian wept, Adrian barked, "That punch was for all the pain you gave Riley, the amount of nights you made her cry, and the same pain you gave Renee!""During those months that she had discovered your affair, Riley had lost part of herself, and I hate you for it!" Adrian added. "But as much as I despise you, I think your trash of a wife needs to be disciplined. So, I will help you."Brian sniffed his tears and looked at Adrian. He asked, "You - you can walk?""Yes, I can."
In the lobby of the Court Residence, Claire and Mara turned up to witness a conversation between the building owner and a very affluent-looking man. "Who is that?" Mara whistled, her eyes gleaming while studying the unknown man. "He looks wealthy, Ma," Claire commented. The man standing a few meters away wore a tailored blue suit with diamond cufflinks on his shirt. He looked stunning with his tall frame, chiseled features, dark blond neatly trimmed hair, and black-rimmed glasses. "He looks so familiar, though, like I have seen him before," Claire said, tilting her head to see his face better. "Maybe in a business magazine?" Mara whispered. "Maybe," Claire said. "Mr. Bradford, we are very excited to hear you are considering buying the entire residential building. We have put this place on sale for a year now, but many have said we are selling the building too high," the owner admitted. "How much are you selling it for?" The man named Mr. Bradford inquired. "Fifty million dolla
"From Henry to William, to Greg, and then Brian," Claire muttered. "The men that gets attracted to me gets younger every time!""Clinton is nearly my age. He is just twenty-five! This could work, Ma!" Claire exclaimed in her room as she took a full turn. "Listen to me, Claire. You have to trap this man. What better way to do it than to have sex with him!" Mara declared. Claire pouted. She said, "But Ma, I'm pregnant.""It doesn't matter. Sex is sex! Don't waste the boob job, and use it tomorrow!" Mara gave Claire a thumbs up before leaving the room. When Claire was alone, she thought about Clinton. She gasped and said, "God, he is really handsome."She still thought he looked familiar, but she couldn't put a finger to it. Nonetheless, the thought of having sex with him excited her. When she was with Brian, she at least had a regular dose of orgasm, but thanks to Adrian and Riley ruining it for her, she had been starved. Claire was hesitant to have sex with Clinton, but she also won
Krista Brooks happened to be sulking on the beach. She had been coming to the same place for nights, figuring out what to do with her life since she lost her job. She settled in the darkest area of the shore, hugging herself. She wore a black jacket and jeans, camouflaging in the dark. Krista noticed a couple walk past her. She couldn’t see the tall man clearly, but the girl in the red dress looked utterly familiar. After observing for a while, she realized it appeared to be Riley!“What is Riley doing here? Who is that man with her?” Krista followed behind the couple. The two were so absorbed with each other that they failed to notice her presence. Eventually, she had a clearer view of the girl’s face and confirmed it was Riley. Then, she saw Riley kiss the unknown man with a hat over his head.“I can't believe it!” Krista reacted. She excitedly took pictures before approaching the two. “Riley? Oh, my god! It is you! You are cheating on Adrian!”The man Riley was kissing quickly tu
"It was viagra. So, relax. Even if you had ingested it, at worst, you'd only get a boner," Zia said to Clint, showing the packaging that was retrieved from Claire's bag. "Zia, I feel like I need to wash myself for a month," Clint remarked. A laugh escaped Zia's lips. She responded, "She doesn't have Ebola! She only has a dirty cunt!" "Are you serious right now? Didn't we just establish that she wanted to have sex with me? That was disgusting!" Clint exclaimed before making a face. While Zia laughed, Clint told her about yesterday's lunch and dinner with Claire and Mara. They covered other things, like their successful plan for running a paternity test. After that, Clint asked, "Did the Viagra cause her to faint?""Well, yes, Viagra does have that side effect. It can cause blood pressure to drop, and that's probably what happened to her, especially since she was feeling nauseous, as you said," Zia confirmed. "But you brought her here, so it all went according to plan."Clint was sup
"This is a great opportunity," Clarisa Astor-Barlowe said while walking into the Plaza Hotel. "Yes, but who is this person? Why so mysterious?" William asked his wife. "He said you would be surprised! So, I will keep it a secret until we arrive at our meeting place." Clarisa put a hand on her waist and said, "Come on."They were meeting a potential buyer for Astor Drug Store. Not that they were planning to sell, but since someone expressed interest, Clarisa and William considered having a partnership or selling at a very high price. Strangely, though, Clarisa said the buyer would like to remain mysterious, at least to him. Why?Sadly, William could not get it out of his wife. So, he followed her lead into a small conference room. A man with a solemn look was waiting for them. He said, "My name is Max. The boss will be here any minute now."William and Clarisa waited anxiously. It took only five minutes before the doors to the conference room opened. A woman with blonde hair entered.
"Your husband paid for Claire's surgeries and her family's living expenses - food and rent. He also shouldered for their apartment at Court Residence recently," Adrian reported. Much information was unveiled, including how William had asked his secretary to pay off the laboratory technician at Halliport General Hospital to fake the paternity test. Adrian's men had acquired information from the laboratory technicians, comprising screenshots of their communications with William's secretary.The proof was undeniable, especially since Clarisa had William's secretary in her contact list. Half an hour had passed. Riley had helped Clarisa to her seat. Mrs. Barlowe reviewed every evidence on the table, her body shivering from the apparent betrayal. Everyone could see she was boiling in anger. Riley's heart ached for Clarisa. She sympathized, "I'm sorry we had to tell you. We did not want to intrude in your relationship, but we couldn't turn a blind eye."She explained how Claire ruined he
