Chapter 2
Kylie took a nervous step back until her back hit the cold wall."Jonathan, what are you doing?"Her voice trembled, and deep down, she knew this man had enough power to do whatever he wanted in this place.Jonathan's voice was low and rich, but his eyes were dark. It was as though they could swallow her whole. His fingers slowly slid down her cheek, lightly cupping her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze."Kylie, I'll say it again. I won't allow my woman to be in a place like this."The touch was both familiar and alien, sending a shiver through Kylie's body. She stiffened instinctively, her cheeks flushing slightly. But the humiliation of being discarded made her resist him even more."I'm not your woman anymore. Have you forgotten? You abandoned me last week."Jonathan paused, taken aback by her words. For a moment, he was speechless. But soon enough, his desire flared again, and his lips curled into a smirk."Not my woman? I'll make you mine right now!"With that, Jonathan

Kylie stumbled forward, her high heels twisting awkwardly as her ankle gave way. She crashed to the ground, falling to her knees with a loud "thud". A sharp pain shot through her knees. Instinctively, she reached out to steady herself, her palms pressing against the cold floor. Her hair, which had been carefully styled, now spilled messily around her face, blocking her view.At that moment, her forehead was less than five inches from Jonathan's custom Italian leather shoes.The woman in Jonathan's lap let out a high-pitched scream, her hands clutching at him as she flung herself into his chest."Mr. Sinclair! That scared me!"However, Jonathan remained calm and unbothered. He raised one foot, gently pressing the toe of his shoe under Kylie's chin, lifting her face to meet his. His gaze was sharp, his words dripping with disdain."Is this how you apologize?"Jonathan had always been aloof, never one to stoop to such levels with others. It was clear he was still angry.Samuel co

Jonathan furrowed his brow and grabbed the restless hand of the woman next to him, coldly tossing it aside.Once she was out of the room, Kylie finally relaxed. She had drunk too much earlier, and now her head was spinning.She rushed to the restroom, sticking her finger down her throat and vomiting for a while. The sharp, bitter taste of liquor lingered in her mouth.She splashed cold water on her face, the sting from the slaps still burning her cheeks.As she walked out of the restroom, Kylie bumped into a man coming from the other way.A strong scent of cigars hit her, and she looked up to see Samuel.Kylie immediately sensed something was wrong. Was Samuel here to cause trouble for her again?"Sorry, Mr. Quinton," Kylie quickly apologized and tried to move away, but Samuel placed his hand on the door, trapping her."Coco?"Samuel looked at the name tag on her chest and read it aloud with a teasing tone, but his gaze was burning, fixed on Kylie's chest.Samuel was as tall

On the other side, Lily received a call. With a troubled expression, she relayed the message to Kylie."Kylie, you don't need to come in tomorrow.""Why? Is it because of Jonathan?"Kylie was furious. Even though she had hurt Jonathan tonight, it was because he had forced her into it in the first place. Plus, she had already apologized. How could Jonathan be so ruthless? Rich people really did whatever they wanted.Without this part-time job, her monthly income would be reduced. What would she do about her brother's medical bills?Kylie couldn't accept it. She thought if she couldn't work at this place, she could find another. Jonathan couldn't possibly blacklist her from every club in Jorundale, could he?Lily seemed to guess what Kylie was thinking. With a tone of regret, she tried to convince her."I'm afraid you'll have trouble finding another job at a different nightclub. Maybe it's time to switch careers."Kylie felt helpless. Clearly, she was the one who had been aband

So the new CEO Lana had been talking about was Jonathan Sinclair!Kylie felt an immediate headache coming on.First, Jonathan caused her to lose her part-time job. And now, Jonathan had become her new boss.She had a feeling that Jonathan had come here to mess with her on purpose—how else could it be such a coincidence?Was her full-time job next? Would she be fired from here too?The thought made Kylie's heart race with panic.She got up and headed to the breakroom to get some water, hearing her coworkers discussing Jonathan along the way."The new CEO is young and promising. I also heard he's still single!""No way, I just saw online that he has a fiancee.""Really? Is it one of those rich family arranged marriages?""Wow, being his bride must be amazing."When Kylie heard Jonathan had a fiancee, her brow furrowed.When had Jonathan gotten engaged? They had just broken up a week ago, and she hadn't heard anything about a fiancee in the past three years.Kylie's mind went

"Kylie, what's wrong?"Lana's voice pulled Kylie out of her thoughts."It's nothing."Kylie brushed the stray hairs from her forehead and forced a faint smile before adding, "Oh, by the way, I have something to take care of at noon, so I won't be joining you for lunch."Lana nodded. "Alright, but make sure you come back early. I heard the new CEO is coming for an inspection this afternoon."Kylie's eyes flickered slightly, and she only murmured a quiet acknowledgment before falling silent.-Kylie took a cab to the hospital.Kevin lay quietly on the bed, as peaceful as ever. His eyes were closed, and the light cast a soft shadow on his lashes. Aside from the prominent scars from the burns, he looked just like someone who was merely asleep."Ms. Cooper, your brother's condition is very stable, don't worry," the nurse said, offering reassurance.Kylie came to the hospital every week, and every time, the doctors and nurses would say the same thing: "He's stable."She knew that

On the way back, Lana kept bombarding Kylie with messages, urging her not to be late. She stressed that if she was, the consequences would be serious.That only made Kylie more anxious. She kept urging the driver to go faster.Before long, the taxi pulled up in front of the company building.Hearing that the new CEO was about to arrive, the department heads were already lined up downstairs in formal attire, ready to welcome him.Seeing the scene, Kylie quickly lowered her head and hurried past. She reached out to press the elevator button—"Hey, what do you think you're doing?!" a security guard barked at her. "That's the CEO's private elevator!"Kylie was forced to use the regular elevator, but the floor indicator wasn't moving. Time was running out.Gritting her teeth, she made a decision—stairs it was!The finance department was on the 12th floor. If she ran, it would be faster than waiting for the elevator.Without hesitation, Kylie kicked off her heels and dashed into the

Kylie felt bad for causing trouble for Alex, so she quietly murmured, "Sorry, Mr. Hill. I'll be more careful next time."Alex turned to face her and was about to scold her. But then he paused, his expression thoughtful."Did Mr. Sinclair say you were working part-time at a nightclub?"Kylie saw the hint of gossip—and something more inappropriate—in his eyes. She quickly responded, "Mr. Hill, I was just working as a regular waitress. Please don't read into it.""Did you run into Mr. Sinclair at the nightclub?"Alex's sharp instincts kicked in, and his words hit the mark. Kylie was left speechless, unsure how to respond.Lana, ever the gossip, immediately leaned in and said, "Hey, Kylie, I think you look a lot like Mr. Sinclair's fiancee!"As she spoke, Lana pulled out her phone and started comparing photos.Alex raised an eyebrow, glanced at the photo on Lana's phone, and then studied Kylie with narrowed eyes. He nodded slowly."Yeah, there's definitely a resemblance."Lana, w

Chapter 10
Jonathan's gaze was playful, his words laced with double meaning.Though she had willingly allowed Jonathan to support her over the past three years, his words now made Kylie feel an unfamiliar sting of humiliation.A faint blush spread across her face."Mr. Sinclair, I apologize for what happened at the nightclub. I hope you can show some understanding."A mix of anger and frustration flashed across Kylie's face, but Jonathan simply smirked and said, "I told you, my woman will never be in a place like that."As he spoke, Jonathan tightened his grip on Kylie's chin, forcing her face closer to his. The scent of his leather cologne flooded her senses, and her face flushed even deeper."I won't allow it," he said, each word deliberate, and his lips were just a breath away from hers. His long fingers traced her warm cheek, his touch sending a shiver through her.Inside, Jonathan felt a strange surge of possessiveness. He deliberately teased and provoked Kylie. But she felt uncomfort
