July 24, 2024. Chapter 2-2. Thank you for everyone's concern. We are feeling better. My "Kenneth" did not get sick since we isolated him. We are generally on the road to recovery. Back to the story, what's up with Krista? Our couple has enough trouble already. How will Adrian deal with her? Don't forget to send gems, reviews, and comments. The next update is tomorrow.
When Krista entered Adrian's office, her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but be in awe of how handsome he looked. Yes, he is in a wheelchair, but it did not reduce his good looks and appeal. He was still a King!Her heart sank when Adrian let out a sigh of irritation, but it did not matter.
The weekend came. While Riley was preparing breakfast for her mother, Adrian took the opportunity to speak with Renee. He entered the guest room and asked the nurse to give them a private time. "I don't want to talk to you," Renee said, averting Adrian's gaze. "I'm sorry, but you don't have a cho
Renee was afraid to speak. She reached out to Riley and suddenly embraced her. She said, "Trust me, in the long run, I only wanted the best for you and Raelyn. Please, don't hate me, Riley."She initially felt Riley's resistance but eventually gave her a loose hold and begged, "Please, tell me. I ca

### FLASHBACK CONTINUATION ###"We need to find a way to contact Charles. He has to know," Raelyn proposed. "No!" Renee objected. "He abandoned you, remember?""But I need him, Margaret. This is our child. He at least has the right to know," Raelyn said. "And let his family come down here to Hines
“I had minor injuries from the accident, but I had to run. Whoever was inside that car that came after us could wake up from unconsciousness, or maybe there were more of Calvin’s people lurking around,” Renee said before she cried another bucket of tears. “It was so hard for me to do - to leave my s
"Adrian, you said that he visits my mother's grave daily, right? What if he comes here today? We could wait for him," Riley suggested. Adrian sucked in a deep breath. He revealed, "The caretaker said Charles had visited at six am. So he won't be coming later. We are still having trouble getting Cha
Early the next day, the couple, Renee, Clint, and Riley's security team, made it to the cemetery before it opened. They had brought flowers for Raelyn. Riley and Renee cleaned up the mausoleum before the long wait began. In between, they talked about Raelyn, a story that Riley was eager to hear. Th
“Bro, are you her boyfriend or her FBI agent?” Drew commented. “Let the girl breathe, Taylor.”Laughter erupted again before Taylor muttered, “I just know you too well, Drew. Better safe than sorry.”Aside from the banter, Charlie learned a lot about Taylor that night, like how loyal of a friend he

“Um…” Mia hesitated before handing it over. “Here. Everything okay?”“No, it’s not okay.” Taylor grabbed the bag. “Since you’re going to be friends with Charlie, know this—I don’t want her wearing barely-there anything, like that swimsuit.”“Um… why?” Mia asked.Pointing back at the pool, Taylor sco
‘Charlie, how could you?!’Taylor wanted to crush the bottle in his hand, but he could not. Instead, he let it drop to the floor. His head snapped in every direction, fiercely scanning his surroundings. The closest material he could use was right under his nose!He and his friends were standing in f
Taylor was excited to meet his friend. He wanted to catch up, learn more about Drew’s experiences, and perhaps get insight into the basketball scouts coming to Luxford that year.Before meeting his friend, Taylor stopped by the Carrington manor to check on his brother. He lingered for a while before
“Woah! Woah there! You look hot, Charlie!” Mia remarked, eyeing her from head to toe. “And the heels? They complete your look. You look like a model or a Hollywood star!”Charlie took a deep breath, studying herself in the mirror. She said, “This is really okay, right?”“Absolutely,” Mia responded.
Charlie exhaled. "So, you're saying I should start by telling Dad I like someone?"Freya: "Exactly."Charlie: "Okay, I can do that. But I don't know how long I can wait."Freya: "Well, at least you want to be honest with Dad. That's a start."Charlie: "Okay, let's do this."Freya kept the video call
[Charlie, I won't be home tonight. I'm meeting an old friend and heading back to the manor.]Reading Taylor's note, Charlie's heart sank. She checked her phone and saw that Taylor had sent the same message, only with more details.The next part read: [I didn't want to wake you. I made chicken soup.
“Charlie. You know what?” Luke said, grabbing her arm. “Fine. I give up on you—on us. Seeing you flaunt your relationship with Taylor like it’s the best thing that ever happened to you—”“He is the best thing that ever happened to me,” Charlie retorted, pulling her arm back. Luke’s jaw clenched. He
