When it ended, Douglas leaned back in his seat and rubbed the bridge of his nose before speaking. “We were fortunate that there were surveillance cameras everywhere. If not for this proof that Archie Foster started it all, Taylor, you’d be in a much worse situation now.”His voice was calm but held
What would happen if the legal wife confronted her husband’s mistress? Riley imagined she would remain composed. After all, she was in the right, and she had every reason to fight, but her body unknowingly shook from anger. It was challenging to contain the hatred she harbored for this woman befor
"My baby!" Riley woke up with her hand on her belly, her heart beating wildly. "My baby -" "Riley, calm down—" Riley turned to a man who was calling her name. She was shocked by his presence and initially could not grasp what he was saying. Next to her hospital bed was Adrian King, the first son o
In another hospital, Brian Martin held his mistress' hand. Claire was crying in bed, assuming her situation had gotten worse. "Brian, I might lose our baby. Your wife, she–she tried to kill our baby," Claire's tear-streaked face bore a look of anguish as she said. "I should have just left the city
"At six in the morning, Zia came to see Riley first. She reported, "Brian asked me to help check on his... on his..." Zia's words were cut off because Riley resumed, "Claire? He asked you to check on Claire?" Riley frowned, thinking about how Brian blamed her last night. He wouldn’t even listen to
Riley knew Zia would oppose her leaving, but her mother's life was at stake. The nurses mentioned that Zia was still due to report for work in eight hours. Riley could not wait. So, Riley decided to sign a discharge waiver against medical advice. After leaving the hospital, Riley went to her mothe
Riley's eyes widened in disbelief, her mind struggling to process the unexpected proposal. She blinked repeatedly and probably did the whole blinking cycle three times. "Yesterday, I missed something important, so I need a wife. Since you owe me a favor, I was hoping you would marry me," Adrian sai
Back at the Plaza Hotel, Riley's mouth hung wide open as she thought deeply. Then, she asked, "Why can't you just fix your engagement with Leni Eros?" Adrian's eyes narrowed. He responded, "I'm afraid the engagement is irreparable." "Did - did you try to reason with Miss Leni Eros?" Riley inquired

‘I lost it,’ Taylor acknowledged. But what could he do? Tristan was his bottom line, and now Charlie was part of those he intended to protect. Earlier, when Taylor arrived at the Nook and Brew Cafe, he saw the growing tension from outside the glass windows. He rushed in, catching Archie slapping Ch
Taylor’s face remained grim. He was sitting beside Charlie, his arm around her waist. He reasoned, “He bullied my brother and hit my girlfriend. I say he deserved every bit of it, Officer. I’d like to make a phone call, please.”After Taylor made the call, Victor and Kevin’s parents arrived, followe
“No, no, no!” Tristan broke down completely, falling to his knees. “Ah! Ah!”He started screaming, punching the floor as tears flooded his cheeks. Charlie, on the other hand, tried to appease him. She leveled with him, saying, “It’s okay. We will get you a new guitar, and Taylor will understand -”
Then, as Taylor walked away, he suddenly pointed at her, teasing, “Babe, you on top tonight?” Charlie: “…”Inner Devil: ‘Bullshit. He’s all talk, no action.’Guardian Angel: ‘Shut up!’“Really, Charlie?” Luke reacted. “You’ve stooped this low?”Not in the mood, Charlie turned to Luke and gave him t
“Taylor, I’m running late. I can’t wait for you anymore!” Charlie said as she buttoned her pants. She stuffed her books inside her bag before rushing into the hallway.Taylor was still in the shower. Dripping wet, he peeked outside the bathroom door and said, “Hey! Hey! Forgetting something, Girlfri

For the first time since helplessly falling for Taylor’s charms, Charlie listened to her Guardian Angel.No, she did not measure his dick.The last thing she wanted was to get caught comparing his length against a ruler. That scene would have been truly disastrous.Instead, Charlie made her presence
Soon, they arrived at Fernwood Residence. Charlie meant to go straight to her room, but once they entered the condo, Taylor carried her and set her on the table. “Taylor!” She tried to object, but what could she do to a guy a head taller than her and about fifty pounds heavier?“What are we, Charli
