last update Last Updated: 2025-01-08 08:04:22

The next day began with a shocking twist.

The atmosphere in the Woods household had been buzzing with the sound of clinking cups and soft chatter in the living room as numerous members of the family enjoyed their usual Sunday morning tea and pastries.

But the moment the local news channel flickered to life on the television, everything changed.

“Breaking news, everybody. After five long years, supermodel Scarlet Thompson has just returned to the city.”

The room immediately fell silent, every eye glued to the screen.

The news anchor continued with a bright smile that barely masked the excitement in her voice, “The blonde-haired beauty, known for her stunning figure and ethereal charm, has made a name for herself as a successful international model and one of the highest-paid in the worldwide industry. Her reappearance in Melbourne is already sending ripples through the entire city with thousands of fans gathered at the airport to give her a befitting welcome this morning.”

    Back in her bedroom, Dana Woods and her daughters, Sheila and Sophie, had also seen the news about Scarlet. They became wrapped up in their own discussion.“Look at all these comments online,” Sophie said, happily scrolling through her phone. “People are going wild! ‘Scarlet’s back and it’s about time!’“This is great news for us. Turns out that Kourtney wouldn’t be staying long as the Woods's young mistress, after all,” Dana sneered with spite. “Scarlet is an interesting girl. She is definitely back to claim her rightful place beside Sebastian.”“Are you sure about that, Mother?” Sheila’s bitter voice echoed through the bedroom. “Do you think he’d leave Kourtney just like that? You can’t deny she’s a force of nature!”“Oh, honey. I’m one hundred percent sure he has never been able to get over Scarlet. He never remained the same after she left. And now, we just need to make her our ally. Kourtney doesn’t even stand a chance!”Dana was very certain of this.She had a sleepless night pl

    “Maybe that's why he still refused to let go of their old memories,” Kourtney continued talking to herself.She knew these images would be etched in her mind for a long time, a constant reminder of the love that had existed long before she came into the picture. Tears threatening to spill gathered in her eyes as she squatted down to pick up the photos.But on second thought, she felt a surge of defiance. She decided not to pick them up. Somehow, she wanted Sebastian to know she saw them without having to confront him about it.Did she even have the guts to bring it up?How could she possibly question him about something so personal?The thought sent a shiver down her spine.What would she even say to him? “Hey, Sebastian, I found a box of your ex-girlfriend's photos, and I’m feeling a bit insecure about it”? That would sound like the ramblings of a jealous, obsessive woman, and she was determined not to be that person.She didn’t want to come off as the psychotic wife who couldn't ha

It's a perfect solution that we can both enjoy.”Kourtney's instincts screamed at her to be cautious.

She didn’t want to hear whatever twisted proposal he had in mind, but a part of her was suddenly curious, almost desperate to know what could possibly come next.“What exactly do want?” she asked again, her voice tinged with a hint of annoyance as she silently wished he would suggest something that wouldn’t make her hiss with contempt.“Hmmm. So let’s be real here,” he started, his voice low and steady, almost hypnotic. “Bastian is clearly not committed to you.

    Kourtney Allen typed in the password of her fiancé's luxury penthouse excitedly. It was an automated door, and her birthdate was the code to unlock it. She couldn't wait to see the surprised look on Brandon's face when he sees her, especially because she dressed so well for him. Kourtney was eager to spend quality time with him, having returned two days earlier from the women's empowerment conference she attended in another state. Besides, they would be getting married in three weeks. She kept daydreaming about the joyous wedding, the warm embrace, and the loving words they would exchange at the altar. However, she was blissfully unaware of the heart-wrenching scene that awaited her. Her happy footsteps came to a standstill when she heard faint sounds emanating from the bedroom. A sinking feeling instantly settled in the pit of her stomach. It was the voice of a man and a woman in the heat of passion. Pain and anger rose within her depths as she pushed open the door with a bang, r

    “How long have you two known about their affair?” Kourtney asked again furiously.“Calm down, Honey! They started seeing each other about five months ago. We didn't want to believe it either but we had to face the truth. We're so sorry, Kourtney,” her mother, Margaret, replied casually.Kourtney’s eyes widened in shock as she screamed. “Five months?”It was around the same time she and Brandon started making preparations for their dream wedding that was supposed to happen in three weeks. ‘No wonder he was always too busy to give me time and attention these days. I was such a fool,’ she thought bitterly.“Why... How could you keep something like that from me? From your own daughter?""We wanted to protect you, darling. We thought it would be better for you to find out when you were ready,” Margaret explained softly.Kourtney's heart sank further, feeling a pang of betrayal from her parents. Her voice trembled with a mix of anger and hurt. "Ready? How could I ever be ready for this?”He

    “Get the fuck down and check the damage, Martins.” Sebastian Woods commanded his chauffeur while he straightened his slightly rumbled Armani suit. His baritone voice was icy and cold, as usual.”Yes, Boss,” the short man in his early fifties who almost peed in his pants rushed out of the car in a panic. Just now, he nearly met a fatal end, but his wicked boss didn't seem to care.Sebastian’s special assistant Jamie also excused himself and followed the driver to inspect the damage caused by the accident. His two tall and sturdy bodyguards scurried out as well, while Sebastian was left alone in the backseat of the car. He was fuming with anger at the moment, and no one wanted to face his wrath.His extremely handsome face was like a ‘masterpiece’ even as it twisted with anger, his eyes displaying a noticeable reddish shade.“I bought this car less than a week ago for sixty million dollars, and now this?”Losing money, no matter how ‘little’ was one of the things he hated the most.He s

    The shift in conversation was immediate. The women around the table erupted into excited chatter.“Oh, I found the most stunning dress at Marissa’s Boutique!” Sheila’s sister, Sophie, exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. “It’s this deep emerald green, and I think it will look fabulous with my new earrings.“Emerald? How clichĂ©!” Another one scoffed. “I’m going with a daring crimson red. It’s bold, just like me.” Meanwhile, Kourtney tried to maintain her composure, but was finding it difficult.Sebastian, ever the observant husband, noticed the sudden change in her mood.He leaned closer to her. “What’s wrong?”Kourtney took a deep breath, feeling a rush of nerves as she spoke. “I...I’m actually the one in charge of planning that event.”Sebastian’s mood instantly lit up with pride radiating from him. “Oh yeah!

    Edwin raised his hands in mock surrender.“Woah! I bet no one so that coming,” he was amazed.At first, he had been super worried for Kourtney but, seemed like he wouldn’t need to be.She could certainly take care of herself.He loved that she was a fighter who couldn’t be bullied by those lots.He liked his new sister-in-law a lot!“Mind doing us the Honour of an introduction?”“I won’t.”“Come on, don’t be such a buzzkill. I’m really eager to meet her,” Edwin stressed.The corners of Sebastian’s mouth betrayed a smile as he still stood up anyway.He had pretended to be nonchalant to Edwin’s request, but deep down, he was silently glad he could finally introduce Kourtney to the one person he rolled with the most among the Woods clan.As they walked into the kitchen, the air was filled with the delicious aroma of spices. Kourtney was in her element, wearing an apron, surrounded by some female members of the family and a few staff, all busily preparing dinner. She was slicing vegetable

    Kourtney stood, perplexed. “Don’t you want to know what happened?” “I don’t care what happened. But I know you are right to slap whoever,” Sebastian chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners.He grinned like he just heard the best news all year round.Her eyes met his, and for a moment, they just stared at each other.Before she could gather her thoughts to speak, the ladies who had been at the tea party walked up to them, their faces pinched with disapproval. "Sebastian, you won't believe what your wife just did," one of the older ladies said with malice.Sebastian turned his piercing gaze toward them. His expression was cold and menacing, with eyes flashing with warning. "I think I can guess. But let me make one thing clear: my wife is off-limits. Anyone who dares to cross her will have to answer to me."“But—but she slapped my daughter, Sheila!” Sheila’s mother protested, her voice trembling.“I don't care.
