Stupefied, Kirsten stopped in her tracks. Instead of directing her gaze at Gordon, Kirsten looked at Norman. The old man had a thunderous expression. Kirsten plucked her courage and said, “Grandpa, please excuse me, as I have told you earlier, I have to study for my upcoming bar exam.”
“Go!” Norman spoke coldly.
Kirsten turned and ascended the stairs with Donna in tow.
“Thank you for standing up for me. Donna.” It wasn’t easy for Donna to go against her parents simply to protect someone who was not blood related. &ld

She wondered where this insecurity came from, she wasn’t an insecure person to begin with. But her heart was telling her that Matthew was hiding something from her but she couldn’t find a clue. “Ignore it. My mom doesn’t know me well.” Matthew said while he stroked her back, obviously trying to console her. “Okay.” Dwelling in her fear and doubt would only rob them with the joy brought by their love with each other. Thus, she decided not to be caged in these negative thoughts. Matthew was relieved. He wanted to come clean about his intention when marrying her but he found no courage to do it. He was afraid that she couldn’t accept it and leave him. She was a law student and knew how to fight him if he refused to divorce her. Matthew made sure to compensate Vanessa handsomely and had her sign an agreement that she was not to appear and bother him after receiving the money and the apartment. “Where are you going?” Evelyn’s shrill voice rang as they walked past them. “To the
Mr. Roosevelt's Pampered Pawn Wife Hello Dears
Hello dears! Embarking on the field of novel writing is both challenging and exciting. Challenging as there were times I faced writer’s block, unable to think of what to write or how to proceed with writing. Sometimes spending hours and only putting up a few hundreds of words. Writers like me would agree to that. I have also read countless articles about surgeon’s when my main characters were surgeons. Now, my main female lead is a lawyer. I have to read about court proceedings and anything related to lawyers' work. And I couldn’t count how many novels I have read so as to glean some inspiration from them. Such a challenging task but equally exciting. However challenging it was to write a novel, I enjoy it especially with all the good feedback coming from you. Your support gives me impetus to keep on writing. Thank you for supporting your dear writer. Once again, I’m asking for your support for this novel. Giving me gems, giving reviews and five stars will help me promote

The time he noticed Dexter’s sly smile while asking about Kirsten, Matthew had prepared himself mentally to act nonchalantly if he mentioned Vanessa. “Yeah, I also heard that Gray Industries was moved to Rotoni,” Matthew nodded with a smile and added immediately, not giving Dexter a time to respond. “And by the way, did you hear that Rex Howell is welcoming a baby with his new wife?” Dexter was almost choked to death by Matthew’s deliberate move. Rex Howell was his ex - wife's husband. She had been having an affair with Rex while married to Dexter. In their three years of marriage, his former wife had never gotten pregnant. Rumor said that Dexter was infertile hence the extra marital affair. “Kirsten, Matthew?” Donna came just in time, hindering Dexter from retaliating. He quickly moved away as though he was running away from something. Kirsten turned, her eyes twinkle in admiration. “You are absolutely stunning, Donna.” “I’m honored to be called stunning by the campus belle a

All eyes zeroed in at Kirsten. It gave her the feeling of being caught with her hand in the cookie jar. “Kirsten, are you pregnant?” Donna was the fastest one to recover from the stupor. “No!” Kirsten denied vehemently, shaking her head. “She isn’t well, please excuse us.” Taking off his suit jacket, Matthew carefully draped it around Kirsten's delicate frame and walked her out of the hall. And before they could reach the door, Matthew carried Kirsten in his arms like a princess for all to see. In this way, Matthew was silently declaring that Kirsten was someone they could not lay a finger on. Envy permeated every fiber of Monalisa’s being. Matthew’s undeniable affection towards Kirsten made her doubt if the man had ever loved her for all those years they were together. In terms of material things Matthew gave her everything. Nevertheless, he never had that tenderness in his eyes whenever he looked at her. But when he was looking at Kirsten as though all his tenderness was bestowe

Vanessa’s bright eyes dimmed the moment her eyes locked with Matthew’s indifferent gaze. He did not give her a satisfactory reason as to why he was ending their decade - long relationship, entirely severing any connection with her. She asked if he had already found a woman to replace her but he said that his feelings for her no longer exist. Deducing that because they were miles apart that Matthew’s love for her grew cold, Vanessa decided to come back despite knowing that Norman would do something to crush her family’s company back in Rotoni. She couldn’t care less, she just wanted to be with Matthew. Standing beside Matthew was Steven, he had been working with Matthew ever since he bought one of Roosevelt's partly owned subsidiaries.

Tensed, every single muscle in his body went as tight as a coiled spring. Reluctantly, Matthew turned his head to meet her watchful gaze. Upon realizing that he was still on a call, he abruptly ended the call. “My mom, I don’t want her to come looking for you.” Matthew said with a solemn tone. “I see.” It warmed Kirsten's heart that Matthew always protected her against people who wanted to hurt her. “Come here.” He hooked his forefinger. Hurriedly Kirsten without hesitation came to his side. Once she was near him, Kirsten found herself in the comfort of his embrace. “Always remember this and no matter what happens, you are the love of my life.” Like a bird flapping its wings, Kirsten's heart fluttered in euphoria. “I misjudged you during our first meeting. I thought you had a stone cold heart.” “You made the right assessment. But you warmed my heart,” Matthew said with a hoarse voice. Kirsten’s stomach growled as Matthew dipped his head for a kiss, stopping him. Kirst

At the beginning, Matthew was unfazed when Knox put the blame on him. However, Knox’s last sentence ruffled Matthew’s feathers. Just the thought of Kirsten being in another man’s arms made him mad. And yet, he could not vent his anger as Knox was Kirsten’s beloved brother. “Shut up! You don’t know what you're saying!” Kirsten said pointedly. Knox looked at Kirsten with an aggrieved expression. Kirsten never used such a harsh tone to him and never once got angry at him even when he acted like a spoiled child to her. Because of this, he started to dislike Matthew. “I was never scolded by you but because of your husband you scolded me. You have changed Kirsten.” Knox wanted Kirsten to realize that the untoward incident today was because of Matthew. “James would never let this thing happen to mom if he’s your husband.” Matthew was secretly pleased that Kirsten chose to stand for him even when it would hurt her brother. Kirsten closed her eyes and rubbed her temple, trying hard not to

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
