"Two people whose brains are wired the same way cannot be together." She deadpanned. "Opposites attract. One of us has to be different."

He didn't agree with her on that but he didn't express his opinion. It was what she thought and if he was being honest, what many people thought. He had thought that way for a while too, thanks to his parents. They were the epitome of fake marriages for business. They did not have an ounce of feelings for each other and having kids had been a duty for them. 

That was why Charles did not hesitate to start cheating on his wife soon after his marriage. Not that it made him any less of a jerk but there was no love between him and Beth. 

However, it was different with him and Gemma. He loved her. He had fallen in love with her long before she became a CEO so that would never do anything to change what he felt for her. He wanted to tell her that nothing could come in between them as long as they wanted to be together. It was abou

    In the conference room, Gemma tried not to think about Livian. However, that was proving to be harder than the minute. How could she not think about him when the meeting was about him?Sasha, The sales and marketing director of Gem Bliss, was giving a report on the company's performance in the last quarter in respect to her department. She explained the losses they incurred in the first part of the quarter and how towards the end, the sales had shot up like a rocket.According to her analysis, things had turned around after the endorsement by the mysterious model. Livian."My suggestion is that for the next quarter, we should have the same model endorse at least two of our products. If it's possible, we should invite him to sign an exclusive contract with Gem Bliss too.He was already under an exclusive contract. She smiled. However, that was a void contract because the man who signed it did not exist. She would need to sign it again with

    Three hours and three orgasms later, Livian set the food on the kitchen island and sat on the opposite side."You're getting better at this." She shovelled a fork of pasta into her mouth and savored the taste. She was not just saying it."Was I that bad?" He laughed dryly. He didn't think it was anything worth commenting on. If she thought it was much better, just how did it taste the first time?She chuckled. "I almost couldn't swallow it."He grabbed her hand and pinched it to punish her, then brought it to her mouth to kiss it. "If I was that bad, why did you still keep me?""I knew there was something you were hiding. I wanted to keep you under my eyes." She confessed, since she knew what he was hiding now.He pressed a hand against his chest, dramatically feigning heartbreak. "Here I was thinking that it's because of my looks."She burst out laughing. "Don't flatter yourself. You are just so-so."

    "Fine. Two nights." She conceded and pulled her face away from him. She swallowed as she tried to convince herself that she was agreeing to it because Livian's influence on the market would be worth it, and it had nothing to do with her wanting to be in his bed. She couldn't decieve herself for a second. Her agreeing to be in his bed had nothing to do with the commercial."However, Mr. Dumont," She cleared the nonsense out of her mind to focus on business. "Having the CEO of Gem Bliss in your bed is too much for an anonymous commercial. You will have to show your face.""I was starting to wonder what happened to my Gemma who wouldn't back down without a bargain." He smiled.She smirked in triumph. "I'll take that as a yes. Cora will send you the shooting schedule.""Will you accompany me to the shooting studio?" He asked. When she shook her head, he crossed his arms. "I'm photophobic. I cannot have pictures of me taken in your absence."&nb

    She forced herself out of bed. Heaven knew she wanted nothing more than to continue sleeping but she couldn't. This was not her bed and she was the one who had made it clear that she didn't want to be in his bed aside from the two days she had agreed to. Was it too late to take that back?"I'll wash my face and join you." She muttered as she rubbed her eyes."Okay." He said but continued standing in place. She returned from the bathroom a few minutes later, her hair as neat as it was because she made a mess of it earlier and the clothes on her body straightened out. He liked her messy look a little more but there wasn't much difference.In his shirt and boxer briefs, she looked nothing like the workaholic CEO she had become over the years. She was a lot like the little Gem he knew, tame, adorable and lovely. He loved both versions of her but this was easier to coax.He took her hand and led her out of the room."I made a mess of

    He wrapped his arms around her and rested her head on his shoulder. Her eyes shut for a second before she forcefully opened them."I want one more." She purred.He leaned down and kissed her lips. Her eyes flew open."I'm not asking for that! Though I could use one of those too." She whined.He smiled and kissed her again, then he carried her in his arms and took her to her room."Let's go to sleep. We can watch as many as we want on Friday night." He promised."Mmh." She hummed."Don't watch them on your own before Friday. We can only watch them together." He instructed, and she hummed again.

    She searched around and couldn't find them. She couldn't possibly tear down the closet to look for them because she knew that they wouldn't be there. Could they have accidentally been carried along with his dirty laundry?She slapped her forehead at the thought. What was she thinking, taking off her panties in a man's mansion? He could…Her cheeks flushed when the thought registered itself. He couldn't possibly steal them, right? What would he even do with a woman's underwear? Maybe he needed them to know the size of her underwear when he ordered her clothes. That was what she wanted to think, but she didn't believe a word of it either. Her mind thought back to how deep his voice sounded when he spoke a moment ago. Was he really jerking off in the shower? If he was, were her panties in his hands?She should have felt repulsed at the thought. Creeped out, even. But on the contrary, the thought of him fondling her panties in his hands, probably

    "You don't need to worry about anything. You only need to make an appearance and that will be it." He tried to coax her.He made sense but she frowned. "You know that I was not on friendly terms with your family ten years ago. I didn't leave under friendly circumstances either."He laughed at her excuse. "Do you think they would still hold a grudge against you for something that happened so long ago? How childish would that be? Not only was it not worth a grudge, but it was also their fault that you left. I couldn't leave you there and let my mother continue to hit and abuse you, now could I?"When he put it that way, she felt her worries were unfounded. "What if we don't get along?"She knew he was frowning even though she couldn't see him."Gemma, you are married to me, not them. Why are you worried so much about their opinion? I only want you to meet them to confirm that the rumors they have heard are true. I wasn't planning

    "Did you miss me?" He taunted.Her body went limp and she would have collapsed if she didn't have the wall to support her. It was him! It was definitely him!"What? Are you afraid of facing me?" He chuckled.She was on the verge of breaking down but she knew that letting him know that his presence was getting to her was the worst thing she could do. So, she kept her stance."If there is anyone who should be afraid of seeing the other, it should be you." She feigned nonchalance. All those years of faking confidence while facing business partners who intimidated her were beginning to pay off."Is that so?" He leaned against the wall, looking down at her like she was an ant. "Well, you are right. I should watch out for knives."The mention of knives made a chill go down her spine. Her entire body trembled as her head buzzed. She had thought that the worst day was the day reality sunk in and she had to face it but she had been

    Wendy had her eyes shut when he opened the bathroom door."What's the result?" He asked.She didn't intend to tell him without playing a guessing game with him, which he quickly found out. Luckily, it was only a two choice option."Is it positive?" He asked hopefully. She shook her head.His mood dimmed in the slightest but he still asked, "Is it negative?"She shook her head, and he was baffled. Was she going to make him have a gazillion options even though it was a question of yes or no?He tried again. "Were you unable to take the test?"She shook her head to that too, and he was about to ma

    It had been several weeks since Mia learned the truth about the past but it was not in the slightest bit easier to bear. It was still hard to imagine that the woman she had hated all her life was also the one who had saved her life. She had not had the courage to tell Carlos about it. Maybe he already knew the truth but kept it to himself. It was probably one of the things that would become clear with time and she was not willing to pry into them before they naturally unfolded. It made her feel guiltier because they were growing closer by the day.They had agreed to be friends but spent a lot of time together, doing things that friends definitely wouldn't ever do—not that she was complaining.On Friday evening, she went to his office as soon as she clocked out. This was how it had been for weeks. He would either seek her or she would seek him, every day. They would either have dinner together or he would drop her off. On weekends—like today—they would coo

    “What in the world…” Gemma was rendered speechless by the insanity she had just heard. “Why the hell would such a rule even exist?”The elderly lawyer had no definite answer to that, because it was not he who had written the will nor had he set the rules that his granddaughter was finding absurd. He could only hypothesize. “The old man didn't want his bloodline to go extinct. He had to set some rules, and you are lucky that he did not specify that you must have a son before inheriting his estate.”Gemma sighed when she imagined that such a thing was possible. She had not known her grandfather when he was alive, because her family was yet to find her when he passed away. From the tales she had heard about him from her parents and grandmother, she knew that setting such an absurd rule did sound like something he would do.Even so, it still made no sense when she thought about it. “But I'm a w

    Mia translated the document and while she didn't think there was anything secretive about it that would make Carlos unable to give it to someone else, she got the work done within the deadline nonetheless. It was the only way to get him to stop seeking trouble. She hated having to do everything he asked of her but he was the boss and there was nothing she could do about it. At least not yet.He was still sitting at his desk when she returned."That took you half an hour,." He remarked when he saw her.She placed the folder on his desk. "I'm done." She muttered, wondering why he sounded like he was complaining when he had given her two hours. She had not even taken up half of the allocated time. Was he going to scold her for being too fast?"Thank you." He half whispered. It was the first time he was appreciating anything she did and she was baffled."You're welcome." She smiled. He was smiling back at her and for the first time as well. She not

    She thought he would ask to spend more days of the week with her or something along the lines but what he said surprised her."Promise me that you will sue Declan and that you will definitely go through with it no matter what happens."She frowned. "How is that paying you back? It's in my favor either way." She looked at him in confusion. Did he have a misunderstanding about the meaning of paying back?"It does pay me back. It's a win-win situation for both you and me."She thought hard about it and still couldn't understand how that was remotely possible."Is it because the man who hurt the woman you love will be behind bars and you will no longer have to see his face around? or, do you have personal grudges with him? Are you planning to use his term in prison as a way to end him?He smiled at her vivid imagination. "It's nothing of the sort. Well, those would be added benefits of putting him behind bars but the main reaso

    "You are so beautiful." Livian ran his hand down her shoulder and kissed her cheek. She would have thought that he was just saying it to get on her good side but when she met his gaze, she had to believe that he truly meant it. His eyes were filled with adoration and if it was humanly possible, his attraction for her seemed to have intensified after what they had just done.She purred like a comfortable kitten when he kissed her cheek. She was lying against his chest with her body half sprawled against his. She pulled her knee up against his thigh and it drove him crazy. He groaned in pleasure."You are insatiable." She chuckled. They had done it twice in a row and she was beginning to realize that it didn't take much for him to be hard again.He wrapped his arms around her waist and chuckled against her neck. "Who am I to blame for that? If the wife is too sweet, is it the husband's fault that he got addicted to her sweetness?"She looked

    Liam and Wendy had a shotgun wedding and it was baffling to everyone. The first thing they had to do was fulfill a part of the contract, which was for Wendy to make an appearance in the Dumont family as his wife.Their plan was to pass off as a real couple but they were shocked when they found out that Gemma was not falling for it."The two of you broke up two years ago, didn't you?" She questioned them."We reconciled and realized that we didn't want to risk losing each other again, so we decided to get married." Liam held her hand.Gemma chuckled. "Or, Liam had his assistant get him a suitable wife for hire so he would be able to access the trust fund from his great grandmother and since his assistant couldn't get a suitable woman, you decided that it would be more believable if it was you and him getting married." Gemma teased."That's not…" Wendy didn't know how to defend herself."It's okay. It's perfectly

    She was certain that if she chose to agree to the contract marriage, the money she would earn would be enough to pay all her debts including her rent. Forget paying rent. Even if she wanted to purchase the entire estate and kick the landlady out of the apartment complex, she would have the power to do so.She was only in such a predicament because she had a falling out with her parents and decided to leave.It was impossible to count the number of bosses and managers who had tried to take advantage of their position to sexually harass her.Even so, she did not regret her decision, nor was she going to bend her will for that man. She shrugged. Many of her problems would be solved once she received her salary from the diner.After eating her snacks, she took a shower and prepared to go to bed.…It was already 7pm and the traffic couldn't get any crazier. Wendy was already an hour late for her evening shift and she kne

    Evenings were the busiest time of the day at the diner and when Wendy was finally done with her work for the day, it was already 7pm. Even so, she couldn't leave until her replacement who would be working the night shift arrived since it was a 24 hour restaurant.She glanced at her pocket watch in irritation. Alma, that bitch, was late again. What irked her was the fact that she knew Alma disliked her and she was doing it on purpose like she always did whenever she had to take over the night shift from Wendy.Clara had already changed out of her work uniform and sent it to the laundry, so she was ready to go. She offered a smile at Wendy as she made her way towards the back door. "Want to go home together? My boyfriend will pick me up. We can give you a ride. Go on and change, I'll wait for you."Wendy looked up from the orders she was preparing for a couple and their daughter, returning the smile. "It's alright. I'll take the subway." She was gratef
