Kirsten was consumed by her own thoughts and did not pay attention to gasps and whispering in the lobby. She entered the elevator and pressed the button to where the law firm was. Within a minute the elevator halted with a chime and opened. Kirsten ambled towards her designated table. She had been interning in this law firm for three summers, this was the only time she will be interning here while having classes at law school. It was a paid internship as she and Anthony Dumont, the firm's boss, were friends. Anthony was also her teacher at the law school. Comparing her salary from the firm and Mr. Rossi's Restaurant, the law firm, offered her a better salary but it was too far from the university. Hence, she could only come here for an internship every summer. A litigation attorney asked her to research relevant laws and legal precedents that apply to their client’s case. She was also told to review all the evidence related to the case which included witness statements, medical

“What’s the matter here? Why are you all surrounding Kirsten’s desk?” Anthony’s low voice filled the air and all at once they turned their heads to look at Anthony. Standing tall a meter away from them, was a handsome man, sending some of the single ladies a giddy feeling while looking at him. “Er, Mr. Dumont, we are asking Kirsten who –” Kirsten interjected and said, “It’s lunch time, you better go. We have only one hour lunch break.” Everybody knew that Anthony didn’t want tardiness so they dispersed and rushed outside to grab some lunch. Having been able to dodge the question about Matthew, she sighed in relief at the thought that she didn’t have to make another lie. At one glance, Anthony recognized the paperbag that was seated on top of Kirsten's desk. He understood why the staff surrounded her. "You have a very rich admirer this time," Anthony teased her. It wasn't new for Anthony to see Kirsten receive gifts and lunches from admirers. Kirsten was the campus belle.

“Do you have a problem with it?” Matthew answered coldly and put his arm around Kirsten’s shoulders in a protective manner. Donna smiled and then pulled Kirsten to give her a bear hug. “I am happy that you are the woman my brother chose to be his wife.” “How are you doing, Donna?” Kirsten said after she recovered from her shock. Kirsten at some point wanted to ask Matthew if he knew Donna as they have the same last name but gave it up because they might not be related as there were many who have that last name. Matthew looked at Donna and Kirsten. “Do you know each other?” “She’s the tutor I was setting up as your blind date but you refused,” Donna chuckled. “You are really destined for each other.” Donna had been setting him up for a blind date with her tutor in law school. Whenever she got a chance to be with his brother, she always told him about Kirsten as the most beautiful woman in the campus. And she was not only beautiful but she had a brain and a body too. Infuriated th

A frown marred her stunning visage following the mention of Matthew’s ex - fiancee. Almost immediately, realization hit her so hard. Matthew had successfully crawled in and penetrated her heart. She had fallen to his caring side. Outside, he looked like a cold and unfeeling man. But he was a warm and good man. Countless of times that she saw how caring he was to her. Gemma always teased her that Matthew treated her like the queen of his heart. Her impenetrable heart that couldn’t be conquered by men’s besieging love, now invaded and conquered by her dear husband. Too confident that none would be able to invade her heart, she didn’t fortify her guard. And now, he resides in the castle of her heart. What if it was only her who fell in love? What would she do if her love story was another story of one sided love? Will she be able to take the pain and live with it? Seeing Kirsten was lost for words, Donna glared at Callum and said, seething, “Can you not talk about that woman here?

Evelyn’s words once again ignited Matthew’s anger that had been successfully put out by Kirsten. “You are the older person, it’s you who should be the bigger person here. You did nothing good at her since she arrived but my wife had been magnanimous to you. Aren’t you ashamed, mom?” Matthew couldn’t stand his mother’s attitude any longer. She acted as if they were above everyone else. This family was lofty. They said that they were one of the wealthiest families in the nation, so what? Did that give them the right to look down on people? All of them were mere humans and will soon wither like grass. “You are taking this wench’s side, ha? What is in her that bewitched you?” Evelyn's rage was spilling over and had forgotten how to behave with grace and dignity. Matthew was aware that Kirsten flinched at the word ‘wench’ and hugged Kirsten to console her. Aware that Kirsten flinched at being called Wench by his mom, Matthew, to console her, surrounded her with his arms. “Enough

"Grandpa, we will be heading home." Sounding natural and no pretense in her, Norman could not suppress the twitching of his lips. The gush of cold autumn breeze greeted them as they came out, making Kirsten's teeth chatter and body tremble. Reflexively she hugged her body to cope up with the biting cold. Suddenly, she felt something draped over her shoulders. And warmth surrounded her chasing away the coldness. Lifting up her head, smiling, she said in a soft voice, "Thanks." Matthew as taciturn ever, uttered no word and slithered his arm around her torso, leading her to the waiting vehicle. Complete silence pervaded the car while it traversed the road as both Kirsten and Matthew were absorbed in their own thoughts. "We've arrived sir," Tony's voice tore through the silence in the car. Kirsten blinked her eyes as if she was woken up from sleep. ‘How long did I zone out?’ Kirsten asked. Matthew stepped out of the car and then he held out his hand for Kirsten as she pre

Unmasked anger gleamed in Matthew’s eyes as he saw Kirsten holding her hair to expose her fair and slender neck to the man behind her, fastening the necklace clasp. “Kirsten, this man is looking for you,” Knox said again, smiling. Kirsten lost her voice and was rendered speechless, seeing Matthew. Her heart was on her mouth at the moment. Hearing Knox's voice, Gillian came out of the kitchen and saw Matthew. She assumed that the man wearing a bespoke suit just like James was her daughter’s boss. “Kirsten, why don’t you let your boss take a seat,” Gillian said. “Mr Roosevelt, have a seat,” Kirsten said so that Matthew would not spill the bean. James knew his place so he moved away and took the empty seat while Matthew sat beside Kirsten with just two inches of space between them. Noticing the closeness, Gillian was confused and a lot of questions raced in her mind. She went to the kitchen thinking and then reemerged into the living room. “Mr Roosevelt, do you want to join

Monalisa, his ex - fiancee hadn’t had this privilege, only Vanessa did. So for him to allow Kirsten to lay her head on his lap meant one thing. Did this woman silently conquer him? Kirsten felt him stiffened as her head laid on his lap. When she looked up to see if the man was protesting that she laid her head on his lap, her heart sank as she found him unwilling and confused at the same time. “I’m sorry, my emotions were all over the place and I didn’t mean it,” Kirsten whispered and lifted her head. Discovering that he couldn’t disappoint her and it pained him to see her in pain, Matthew gulped, his Adam's apple rolled up and down his throat. “No, it’s okay,” Matthew held her shoulders and pushed her gently back on his lap. Matthew tenderly and affectionately ran his finger though her silky auburn hair. His eyes roamed her beautiful face as she stared into his hazel eyes mirroring her image. Red rims, swollen eyes and red nose tip, still, she looked adorable and captivatingly

Warily, James pulled Donna beside him and wrapped his arms around her. He would never allow Matthew to hurt his beloved wife. Donna grinned and patted James arm assuringly. “Don’t worry, my brother isn’t a violent man. He loves me and would never hurt me.” James lovingly looked down at the petite woman in his arms. “I won’t allow anyone to bully my woman, including her brother.” “Lovey dovey!” Kirsten mutter of amusement blossomed into an enormous belly laugh. The two women were affected by Kirsten infectious laughter and started to laugh with her, leaving the two men watching their own woman blushed as they laughed. At the end of their laughter, the corners of the three women’s eyes were stained with tears. Simultaneously they dried their eyes as their laughter subsided. “Let me guess, yours was a whirlwind romance,” Kirsten knew it. Just a week ago, Donna was still single and was not dating. She knew it because Donna would always confide in her. Furthermore, James left the count

Five days had passed since Matthew left but Kirsten hadn’t received a call or message from him. She attempted to call but the line was always busy. The mounting pressure of getting substantial evidence to exonerate her mom and the doubt floating in her mind was taking their toll on Kirsten's emotional and physical health. Good thing that Mark was there to cheer his mother up, alleviating the anxiety she was feeling. She had the feeling that what happened years ago was going to happen again. Was this history repeating itself? The following day, as usual, Kirsten made a little progress and was frustrated that she couldn’t get evidence to prove that someone impersonated her mom. She believed her mom had not met Gustaff apart from the day of Mark’s birthday party. Nevertheless, she had to present concrete evidence to refute the allegation against Lucille. To have some breather, Kirsten left the study to the garden, and strolled. After some time, she went back as she stepped into the man
Mr. Roosevelt's Pampered Pawn Wife Chapter 96 - Unsolicited Advice
Before the sun set, Matthew’s car stopped at the courtyard. He was held up and didn’t manage to come home as planned because of some company matters. Upon informing her that he can’t keep her company, though Kirsten didn’t make it difficult for him, he heard the disappointment in her tone. Eager to see Kirsten, Matthew opened the car door, not wasting a moment. With large steps, he walked to the mansion. Gemma had just come out of the study at the time Matthew arrived at the door of the study. “How is she?” Matthew asked quietly. “She hadn’t stopped working since after she took a stroll after lunch,” Gemma informed him, Matthew nodded, holding the door handle, with a click he pushed the door. Absorbed in her work, Kirsten didn’t hear the clicking sound and kept her eyes trained on the screen of her MacBook. From where he stood, he could see her side profile. Silently he watched her with a smile hovering his lips. Matthew cleared his throat to get her attention and Kirsten whiske

Caught between a rock and a hard place, Kirsten massaged her temple. She didn’t want to disappoint her half sister but her mom needed her too. What should she do? “Where are you now?” Kirsten asked and let out a sigh. Discussing such a crucial thing with her sister over the phone felt not right for her. She decided to talk to her in person. “Just disembarked from the plane,” Sherry answered, sighing. “I will head to the police and see Gustaff.” “Come and see me after you speak with Gustaff.” Fatigue laced Kirsten’s voice as she spoke but Sherry did not notice it because she was preoccupied with Gustaff’s matter. “Alright, I’ll see you then,” Sherry said and slid the end call button. Without being asked, Matthew drew Kirsten to him and had her prop her body on his hard chest and surrounded her in his arms. “Take a nap. I will wake you up when we’re home,” Matthew whispered in her ear and pressed his lips on her temple. “Mm,” humming, she shut her eyes though she had no plan on ta

At eleven in the morning, Matthew was back in the interrogation room, through the spy mirror, he watched his father being questioned by an officer. He could not deny the allegation that he was an accomplice of Victoria as she had handed over all evidence that he took part in the crime. “I know another crime,” Gordon knew that he had no chance to get out of this but he wasn’t willing to let Matthew and Kirsten have it easy. He heard that Kirsten forgave Lucille and had a great relationship with her. This would make Kirsten and Matthew suffer. He confessed about the kidnapping that happened years ago and that Lucille was the mastermind of the crime. Matthew’s knuckles made a cracking so

Waiting for Matthew to defend her, she held her peace, but the man beside her remained silent.Pain took hold of her heart that Matthew did not speak and stand up for her. Despite it, Kirsten didn’t lose her composure and said with a calm voice. “My husband and I are one.”The indifference of Matthew boosted Flora’s confidence to snicker, Matthew was completely angered by her insolence.

He bent down to kiss her forehead, attempting to allay her anxiety.“Grandma, I’m sorry, I can’t do as you said.” He listened to her and he lost Kirsten to Matthew. That was enough. He would fight for Donna.“James Lincoln! Have you grown bones to defy my order?” The old woman roared, feeling his eardrum was pierced by the screeching sound, James drew away the phone from his ear and ended the call.Sensing the uneasiness of his woman, he pulled her closer in his embrace. He wouldn’t let her suffer grievance for a second. “She can’t dictate my life. I won’t let you go.”
