Kourtney's face flushed crimson red, and she looked away, feeling a mixture of embarrassment, confusion, frustration, and attraction. She hadn't expected such a bold suggestion from him after she questioned his sexual orientation, and the thought of their wedding night made her heart race.

His response caught her off guard, and she struggled to find the right words. "I... I don't want it. Forget what I said,” she stammered.

"It's... It’s just that I thought... maybe the rumors were true. Some say you prefer men, so you avoid women like the plague. Others say you're impotent that’s why you've been awfully single. And it made me wonder why you pursued marriage with me,” she added carefully.

"Rumors are just —rumors. But it's amusing to see you so curious about my personal life, my dear Wife.”

"Well, forgive me for wanting to understand the man I just married.”

Sebastian's gaze locked onto hers, his demeanor softening just a fraction. "You're right," he admitted, surprising her with his

    Kourtney turned around and caught sight of Kathlyn, the home-wrecker, approaching her from the living room. She noticed a hint of surprise flash on her little sister’s face. However, it quickly disappeared as her expression turned into a menacing smirk.”Kourtney, I didn't expect to see you here.” She heard the annoyingly coquettish voice of Kathlyn once again. Anger and irritation started brewing within her.“I live here, so where else should I be?” She replied with a sneer.Kathlyn was taken aback for a moment and seemed disturbed. She has known Kourtney since birth, and she understood her all too well.She knew that Kourtney was the type of person who would move out and probably cut ties with their family after what had happened today. After all, she had snatched her fiancé, Brandon, and their parents had supported the affair, even giving their blessings for Kathlyn to marry him in Kourtney’s place.It seems she had underestimated Kourtney's resilience and determination. Deep down,

    Despite her raging thoughts filled with doubt and questions, Kathlyn managed to retort, trying to maintain her cool façade."You're lying, Kourtney! You can't just switch off your feelings like that. Brandon used to be your whole world, but now, he's with me. You're merely trying to convince yourself that you're over him, but deep down, you know you still love and want him!"“And stop feeling so fly! Brandon was the best thing that ever happened to you. He was way too good for you, and that's the reason you were too invested in him. Too bad he loves me, not you. We all know you can never get another man as good as him.” Kathlyn continued to bark, her frustration getting the better of her.She couldn't bear the idea that Kourtney was genuinely happy without Brandon. That thought shattered her illusion of victory and made her feel insignificant. So, Kathlyn decided to up the ante, hoping to push Kourtney's buttons further and make her break down.“Ah ah ah!” Kourtney let out a humorous

    Kourtney glanced at her ringing phone and sighed. She reached for it, taking a quick look at the caller ID. It was an unknown number, and immediately, she assumed it was one of her ex-fiancé’s family members calling again. She shook her head and silenced the call, her expression twisting slightly to frustration.Liam raised an eyebrow, noticing her reaction. "Everything okay?"Kourtney shrugged, offering a half-hearted smile. "Just another call I'd rather not deal with."“Ok then. But I'm being serious here. I'm not leaving without you. Let's go grab something quick before work hours resume,” Liam continued to insist.Kourtney stretched her arms lazily overhead. "I promise I'll take a break soon. Just let me finish this one last section of the draft, please.””Liam is right, Kourt. We’ve seen how hard you've been working since yesterday, and we have no doubt the Silverstone Gala will be a massive success. But you need to take a break, okay? It's still one month away anyway,” Kourtney’

    Sebastian packed his Rolls Royce Phantom outside Lilian’s house with a loud noise, the engine growling like a beast ready to pounce.The car’s polished exterior gleamed under the afternoon sun, announcing his presence to the entire neighborhood of Flinders Lane.Funny how this was the exact same car he’d been in the day he met Kourtney, the day their lives had collided in the most unexpected way.He couldn't help but chuckle at the coincidence.He could hardly remember the details of that day, but the image of Kourtney standing there, flustered and adorable, was burned into his memory for life.The thought made him smile. But it was quickly overshadowed by the tension building in his chest.Sitting in the driver’s seat, he took a moment to compose himself.Damn!When did he become this nervous about talking to anyone?He had faced board meetings, negotiations, and high-stakes deals without batting an eye. Yet here he was, feeling like a teenager about to confess his feelings for his c

    After about an hour in Lilian’s apartment, the tears slowly subsided. Kourtney pulled back, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand.“I didn’t mean to bother you this much,” she said, her voice shaky.Lilian eyed her as if she just said something so annoying and offensive. “Shut up, Girl. You know I’m always here for you.”“Thank you, Lil,” Kourtney replied, biting her lip to hold back fresh tears.“You know, Kourt. It’s a shame! Isn’t it? I didn’t even get to enjoy being the best friend of a Billionaire’s wife before it all fell apart. We didn’t get to use his private jet to go see the penguins in Antarctica!” Lilian exclaimed, her voice dripping with sarcasm as she tried to lighten the atmosphere. “Oh, come on! You’re telling me we never got to step foot on his luxury yacht, sitting pretty in the Melbourne harbor?

    “Shut up, Denise,” Grandma Florence finally snapped.The whole living room fell silent, all eyes turning to her.“Mum, stop defending her!” Aunt Denise interjected, her tone accusatory. “She’s the reason we’re in this mess! If she had just listened—““Enough!” Grandma Florence barked again at her daughter. Her patience was wearing thin.Denise opened her mouth to argue again but was swiftly silenced by her mother’s voice booming through the room once more. “I said shut up. Kourtney is still family!”Denise was very pained.This wasn’t the reaction she had been expecting from her mother after seeing the news.Why wasn’t everyone in the family celebrating Kourtney‘s downfall like she was?“You—you can’t be serious, Mum. Kourtney thought she had arrived with that sudden marriage and started treating us like nothing. This is the perfect opportunity to cut her off. Give her a taste of her own medicine!”Florence shot her daughter a glare sharp enough to silence her. “This is not the time f

    Grandpa Woods’ commanding presence filled the room.“Not another word from any of you,” he scoffed, lifting his walking stick in the air. “You minions should be ashamed of yourselves!

    Ever since he had heard about his First Love’s arrival yesterday, Kourtney had barely seen or spent time with her husband. For the first time since she moved in with him, Sebastian had been absent in their bed when she got up.And even in her deep slumber, she knew she didn’t feel his warm embrace or presence last night. She was more than certain he hadn’t spent the night here.She could feel it in her bones!Just as she was about to lose herself in her spiraling thoughts, she opened the bedroom door and stepped out, only to be met by the sight of two of Sebastian’s bodyguards waiting just outside.“Good morning, Mrs. Woods,” one of them greeted with a polite nod.“Uhmm… where is he?” The question slipped from her lips before she could stop it.“Mr. Woods had something to do at the company, so he left first,” the other bodyguard replied, his expression unreadable.Kourtney felt her heart drop. ‘He left me here again to go to the company?’ she thought as anger bubbled inside her.She w

    Meanwhile, as Sebastian drove away, his mind raced.How could she just show up like that?He felt sick from the memories the woman stirred within him. The nights spent dreaming of what could have been, the love that had once filled his heart, now twisted into something dark and painful.God! She had turned him into a shadow of himself.Why had she returned?Was she here to stir up trouble?Sebastian was a clever man, quick to understand the intentions of others.

    “Fine. Then let’s talk about that person you married... it was just for formalities, wasn’t it?” Scarlet probed, her eyes glinting with curiosity.At her words, Sebastian chuckled darkly. “You think you know everything, don’t you?” Scarlet's heart raced as she saw a flicker of something glinting in his eyes the moment when she mentioned that person. He was smiling now! He even laughed!“He—He can’t possibly have feelings for her,” she thought frantically. “No! Not after everything we had.”Her eyes narrowed as she assessed him, taking in the wedding band that glinted against his skin.It was as if something suddenly snapped inside her. Consumed by a wave of jealousy, she rushed at him, wrapping her arms around his neck, and pressing her body against his. She had moved so quickly before his bodyguards could move an inch to stop her. She took them all by surprise.“I need you, Bastian,” she said with desperation.Her breath was warm against his skin. She wanted to feel the heat of

    Across town, Sebastian Woods sat in a sleek conference room, surrounded by his British investors. The mood was tense; the meeting had been called unexpectedly. They were supposed to arrive the next day morning, but their flight had changed, and now he had to face them early.It was annoying just sitting there for him. He hated urgent and unplanned business meetings like this, but he just couldn’t keep these people waiting. He liked to treat his foreign investors well as they were important to the growth of his company. He had to be there no matter what.But, despite the urgent nature of the meeting, Sebastian’s mind was miles away.“President Woods?” one of the investors interrupted, waving a hand in front of him. “Are you with us?”“Sorry, yes. Let’s continue,” he replied, shaking his head to clear the fog of distraction.He wanted to focus on work, but his mind kept wandering back to HER.It was funny how he kept glancing at his phone on the table, hoping for a beep, a call, or even

    They both turned towards the voice. It was Edwin Woods.“What’s it to you? This is not of your business,” Micheal challenged.“I’ll tell you what? It’s every one of my business. That’s my awesome sister-in-law,” Edwin said stepping close enough to separate Kourtney from Micheal.“She’s a grown woman. She can make her own decisions.”“Right. But stay away from her!”“You’ll never stop being Sebastian’s little sidekick, will you?”“Being a sidekick feels much better than being the incompetent failure that you are,” Edwin scoffed.Kourtney watched as both men went head to head with scornful words flying around. She didn’t ask for any of this drama. She only wanted to come here and cry, then probably inhale the fresh scent of blooming roses till she felt satisfied.What was this evening turning into?She could feel the tension crackling in the air between them, like a storm ready to break.
