View MoreThey say revenge is a dish best served cold, but Stephanie Pearson preferred hers steaming hot with a side dessert of sizzling chaos. And oh, she was starving.Stephanie’s crimson nails lightly scratched the silk fabric of her blouse as she stood in front of her floor-length mirror, her reflection staring back at her like an old friend with a knowing smirk. She wasn’t dressed for anything fancy—just a casual crop top and ripped jeans—but that didn’t matter. What mattered was the way her hand instinctively drifted to her stomach.“That foolish Laura,” she muttered, cocking her head to the side, her freckled nose wrinkling in displeasure. “Thinks she can have Kingston all to herself? Oh, honey. No can do.”Her reflection grinned back at her, she was the version of herself she had grown to love over the past few months. She couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle—no, that chuckle was psychotic, if heard closely. “How does she even sleep at night?” Stephanie continued, her high-pitched v
Kingston knew well how to control himself. Everything and every aspect in his life was organized, even down to the way he poured his whiskey. But as he found himself pressing Laura against the bedroom wall, his lips teasing hers with the kind of hunger that could ruin a person, all that control? Out the window.“King…” Laura whispered, her voice breathless, her lips swollen from his warm kisses.“Say it again,” he murmured, his mouth trailing down her jawline, his hands sliding beneath her dress, sending passionate heat on her skin.“King,” she repeated, her tone pleading this time.And that was all he needed.Neither of them remembered how they had made it to the bedroom or when her dress landed on the floor like a forgotten piece of memory. His shirt joined the pile, his tie long gone, and Laura’s delicate lingerie soon followed, leaving her body bare under the soft glow of the bedside lamp.“Lie down,” he commanded, his voice low and rough, yet filled with the only softness he had
Kingston McGorrith was not the kind of man you would expect to see juggling shareholder documents with baby-shopping plans at the back of his mind, but here he was, sitting at his mahogany desk, scrolling through spreadsheets like his life depended on it. And maybe it did. Between managing his multi-billion-dollar empire and making sure his pregnant wife was happy, this man was booked, busy, and his borderline was completely burned out.His office was quiet except for the sound coming from the faint hum of the air conditioner and the occasional ping of his phone. His assistant had just dropped off the finalized documents for Laura’s announcement as a shareholder, and King had to admit—it felt so unreal. Laura wasn’t just the mother of his unborn child; she was about to become part of his business, his legacy. The thought made him smile that rare but genuine smile that softened his usually sharp facial features.“Everything looks solid,” Brian said, leaning back in his chair as he flip
King barely made it through the front door before Laura was already up from the couch, her eyes lighting up as she reached for him. “Rough day?” she asked softly, her fingers sliding to loosen the silk tie he hadn’t even bothered to straighten properly.King groaned, tossing his briefcase to the floor like it had personally offended him. “Rough doesn’t even cover it.” He shrugged off his blazer, running a hand down his face. “Anne is missing.”Laura’s hands froze midway through loosening the tie as her brows arched up. “Wait. What?”“She’s been unreachable since earlier today. Her phone’s dead, no sign of her anywhere,” he muttered, his tone sharp, but the worry was still evident in his voice. “She tried calling once, but it didn’t even last a second before the line went dead.”“Oh my God,” Laura whispered, stepping closer. “Have you called the cops? Tracked her phone?”King sighed as he tugged off his tie completely, the veins in his neck bulging from frustration. “We tried. Marshall
“Hey, have you heard from Anne?” Greg asked as he barged into King’s office without knocking, his voice tight with concern.King didn't bother looking up from his laptop, his expression bored. “No, she’s avoiding us. And to teach her a lesson, I blocked all her credit cards. Let her sweat a little.”Greg blinked twice, clearly thrown aback as his brows knitted together. “Okay, first of all, bold move. Second, she texted me earlier saying she was back in the country and asked me to pick her up soon. That doesn’t sound like someone who’s avoiding us.”King froze for a second, his fingers hovering over the keyboard lightly. The calm expression on his face began to crack slightly. “What are you saying? Are you kidding?”“I’m dead serious. She said she'd call again when she was ready. But now, nothing. I’ve tried calling her, but she isn’t answering. That's… not Anne.” Greg muttered, his tone dipping into worry.King leaned back in his chair, rolling his eyes until his gaze shifted to the
“Anne.. what are you?..” Karl jumped, knocking down the lamp beside the couch.Of all things for Karl to be?! Gay?!Two naked men having hardcore sex in Karl’s parlor!!“Karl? Oh Christ!!? Karl Benedict?” Anne bellowed shockingly. Her breathing was as disorganized as her face at the moment.Did she just walk in to Karl pumping his hard dick into the arse of another man?!CHASE?“Fuck.. fuck .. fuck .. fuck..” Anne couldn’t believe how fast her heart was pounding. She staggered back to lean of the door for support.“What.. Anne? What are you doing here.. It’s not.. fuck!?” This time around it was Chase stuttering. Rushing to cover up his body.Same Karl? Her brother’s rival? Her boyfriend!And Chase? Her brother’s ‘supposed’ best friend?Her head was spinning uncontrollably. Karl didn’t even look sorry. He was rushing to put on his shorts. Anne couldn’t help but notice both men’s limp dick.The actual fuck?“What are you .. Anne What are you doing in my house unannounced?” Karl spoke d
Anne wasn’t supposed to get into this web…The McGorritth’s as a family had never been in this much turmoil. King’s heart was in his mouth. Lana was still very much scared of the current happenings. Starry was doing all he could to shield the family’s company from falling into a ruin. With the back to back attacks on King and his wife, everyone in the family had been extremely careful. King suspected that Stephanie was definateky behind the motorcycle threats on Laura.They were due for a family meeting!When Greg had heard of what happened to Laura. His immediate response was “She should be dead instead..” that had got King furious. Both brothers still had the score to settle. King was still yet to forgive him on what he did to Laura. They could have lost their baby! Greg the mistake of a brother was busy pulling all strings to end his father’s life. And then there was Anne. The prodigal sister.Anne McGorritth, against King’s warnings for her to be extra careful. She was indiffer
Back in the rest room, Maddie was trying to calm down an inconsolable Laura. Not only had Stephanie left her stunned, but the talk about sending a message? What message?Why exactly was she there. “Madds you needed to see the smug look on her face!” Laura exclaimed as she adjusted herself to step out. Maddie first replied with a scoff. “I mean, I wouldn’t expect less from that cunning woman.” She hissed.“Uhhh.. wait.. do you think I should call King? Yes! I need to call him.” Laura bit her lips, staring back at her reflection in the mirror.“No lu… I think we should get you home this minute. “ Maddie gave a short laugh, dragging Laura by the arm. Laura protested for a second. When they had left the restroom, Maddie stopped and turned to her.“So,..” Maddie raised her brow, questioning Laura’s compliance.“Alright alright. Fine. Let me grab my bags.” Laura mumbled out her reply.But Maddie refused, telling her not to worry about it as she had already taken Laura’s things to the car
Laura’s heart dropped to her stomach.Why wouldn’t a day just go by without Laura encountering one ugly surprise or the other.Laura couldn’t stop herself from thinking about how the pregnancy looked so good on Stephanie. It was enviable! The way she carried herself. Almost unbelievable.“Lu?.. “ Maddie’s pinched Laura back to reality.“Hmmm..”What the hell was Stephanue doing in the cafe?! So comfortable. Balanced like she owned the place. Her dark shades in place. The bitch even bad guts to light up another cigarette. Laura wanted to drag her by her hair out of the cafe.Was she there to cause trouble? Who does she fucking thing she is?! Laura was biting on her cheeks rather too hard, still rooted in the spot. They were in a staring contest. But Stephanie was winning with the obvious smirk plastered on her face.“Laura!?..” Maddie pulled harder this time, shaking her out of her trance.“I think we should just ignore her Madds.. come on, let’s go.” Laura hissed, walking away in a h
“Mum, Starry meet my girlfriend.” King nervously introduced his mother and his grandfather to Laura as they entered the hospital room where she was admitted. Your girlfriend ??? Laura exclaimed inwardly. “Your girlfriend?” This time around it was the doctor shooting him a quizzical look. “I never knew you had a girlfriend. In fact you never mentioned.” Dr Narcos cheerily added. Laura’s whole head was spiraling out of control. This cannot be happening. Not with everyone here! He’s going to find out she was pregnant. laura thought. Few hours ago she was rushed into the hospital after she collapsed in his house, the doctor was about speaking to them as it seemed like there was a problem when King’s Mother and Grandad walked in. Apparently they were to come visit him that morning but since he called to say he was at the hospital for an emergency, they decided to meet him at the hospital instead. She hurriedly turned to look at her Uncle sitting by the side of her bed with a scow...
