February 27, 2025. Chapter 2-2. Yes, I had planned to complete this part of the story this month, but obviously, there are still things that must be covered. In any case, it should be done by 1st week of March or a little later. The next update is tomorrow.
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
At Renee Allen's Residence. [Miss Allen. The boss would like to know if you have considered his offer?] Riley gasped the moment she read Clint's text. She bit her lip and studied herself in front of the bathroom mirror. It had been five days since Adrian proposed marriage. She had not given him
It took seconds before her senses returned to her. She screamed, “Taylor! Why didn’t you close the door?”She slammed the door shut, fuming as she reached her room. Later, while having breakfast, Taylor kept chuckling while eating. He asked, “What is so fucking wrong if you had seen me butt naked?”
“Good morning,” Taylor greeted, forcing Charlie to lay on her back. “Babe, give me a quick morning kiss.”Who was he kidding? For the past two days, Taylor had been waking her at half past five for a morning kiss. Although he called it ‘quick,’ they made out for fifteen minutes yesterday. Charlie c
“It’s not a problem,” Charlie answered. “This isn’t some fling, Grandpa. I really like him. Taylor is nice - a responsible brother, sweet and caring, overprotective, but so are most men in my life -”Charlie’s comment left Charles laughing. He asked, “Does that include me and your other grandpa?”Ch
“Are you okay, Dad? So, you know Charlie’s grandfather?” Savannah asked. Taylor, on the other hand, gave Charlie a questioning look. He mouthed, ‘What’s going on, Babe?’“Wait. Wait. Maybe I am overthinking this,” Douglas Carrington said, raising his hand. He took out his phone and called someone.
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
‘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
