Duke Baldwin hates having his time wasted, and that is what the housekeeper was doing with her chit-chat. He has tons of work in front of him that he would like to finish before the day is over and would love to get back to that. Annoyed, he looked at the woman and waited for her to say why she had interrupted his working hours. His daughter already did that.

Lucia felt embarrassed at being chastised like a three-year-old by her employer, but she was used to his abrasive attitude and was only glad that his daughter was back to soften things around the house. The house had been cold for too long. She hid a smile as she remembered how warm and lively the house used to feel when the woman beside her had been around.

The woman, as a kid, had been energetic and mischievous, getting into one mischief or the other. Lucia had taken the girl as a daughter and had missed her dreadfully since her absence. Just like the woman to devise such an odd idea like disguising herself as someone poor to

    He couldn't say what he expected, but the woman who walked in behind the suit was certainly not his wife. Kathleen smirked at the sight of her husband's shocked face. Outwardly, with her sunglasses covering her face, she could hide the smugness she felt inside. She spared no glance in her husband's direction and elegantly sat beside her lawyer on the opposite side of the conference table. The both parties are here, shall we begin? The mediator asked Drew, who still couldn't get over his wife's glow-up, kept gawking at her, and he wasn't being subtle about it. His lawyer had to tap him to get his attention on why they were there. He blinked to disguise his embarrassment at being caught drooling over his wife. "Remember you are here to divorce her, not fuck her?" His lawyer teased in a low tone, but Kathleen heard him and smiled behind her hand. When she raised her eyes, it fell into her husband's, and she held his gaze. Even though her heart reacted to the fire in his eyes, she di

She wore a thin smile that didn't reach her eyes. "I hope things work between you and your secretary," she said sincerely and then walked out, her lawyer on her heels. Her words left Drew dumbfouned, and unable to respond until the door hit Kathleen's back. He couldn't believe that his wife knew. So why didn't she say anything? Her silence about his affair, and him acting like an idiot few minutes ago left feeling like an idiot.

They were sitting in an ice cream palour enjoying a cup of ice cream.Inside the palour was cooler than the raging heat happening outside. It is so sunny that people could physically feel the burn from the scorching sun. It's welcome coldness was not the only thing going for the palour. It has this welcoming ambience giving to it by the warm blue colors of the walls, and the multicolor effect of the ligtening in the room.Also the cartoon and animal decorations on the wall, and the ballons hanging off the ceiling all added it its welcoming atmosphere, which was topped by the cool back ground music playing in the back ground.There were few patrons in the room, mostly younger crowd who have come in to cool their bodies with a cup of ice cream, or drinks.Cooling their bodies was not what brought Joe and Kathleen to the palour.

    It was dinner time when Kathleen's taxi pulled up in front of her father's estate, a house she grew up in but hadn't been in for the last ten years. Kathleen sat at the back of the taxi, not keen to get out. She felt nostalgic and sad as she watched the lustrous structure. Tall, stately columns and intricate mouldings majestically frame the estate's elegant facade. The building's architecture is a perfect combination of old and modern. The house was built in a semicircle, leaving a vast expanse of manicured lawns stretching gracefully towards the horizon. An ornate stone fountain, intricately carved with classical motifs, stands as a centrepiece in the yard. A few feet from the fountain, an array of meticulously arranged flower beds showcases a symphony of colours and textures. Two lions sat near the entrance like guard dogs, and then there were ostriches and cheetahs—animals unique for their strength, speed, and resilience. "Miss, we are here," the Taxi driver thought to remind
