“What’s he planning now?” Kourtney whispered to herself, wondering what kind of show he planned to put on.

As she tucked her phone away, she cast a glance around the bustling office. Everyone was immersed in their own worlds, completely oblivious to her little mission.

With the confidence of a spy in a money heist film, Kourtney slipped out of her desk, glancing around once more to make sure none of her colleagues caught her.

She was very wary, trying not to be seen or followed by anyone, especially knowing that the man would probably come with a fleet of his most expensive cars and a dozen bodyguards.

The last time Sebastian had insisted on picking her up with that luxury white Limousine, whispers had circulated all over Skyline Events about her having a “sugar daddy.”

She did not want to deal with that embarrassment all over again.

Dodging the watchful eyes of her coworkers like an expert, she made her way to the elevator that would take her to the parking lot, her heart racing for

    Kourtney shot him a playful glare, fidgeting as she mentally scolded herself. “I really need to go. Thank you again for the flowers!”She leaned over and gave him another quick peck on the cheek before practically shoving herself out of the car.Sebastian watched as she was literally almost tiptoeing her way back into the building, still trying to hide as she held the roses tightly to her chest like a prized trophy.“What a funny woman,” he murmured to himself with a grin plastered on his face.Just watching her brought warmth to his heart. Would she ever see how lucky she was? How lucky they both were to have found each other in this vast, chaotic world?She really was the light in his cold world, and her bubbly spirit never failed to get to him. She had slowly but surely become his everything. Suddenly, every dull meeting and every boring responsibility back at the office seemed trivial.“Mr. Martins,” he ordered, straightening his tie as he reluctantly felt his stony demeanor creep

    Kourtney felt a lump form in her throat.‘Oh, God, No! Liam also thinks I have a sugar daddy?’ she thought, terrified he might have believed the awful rumors swirling about her.She had always appreciated Liam; he was one of the few genuinely decent people in the office. Their friendship meant so much to her, and the idea that he might see her in that light made her want to vent.But before she could delve into a defensive retort, Liam continued, lowering his voice, “It’s from your husband, Sebastian Woods, right?”Kourtney’s mouth instantly dropped to the floor in surprise.How did he know?She hadn’t told him yet!“Wait, how do you know about... about him?” she questioned as low as possible, shock coloring her features.Liam sighed, his eyes clouded with pain. “I pieced it together after that lunch date we had. Remember when those bodyguards showed up? I thought it was just a coincidence, but then later
 I realized it when I looked back at those photos the paparazzi took of him carr

    The jealousy in their eyes burned bright, each remark like a thorn pricking at her confidence.This time, Kourtney decided to confront it.When the chatter seemed louder than usual, she stood up in her cubicle. “You know what? I got the roses from my husband, Sebastian Woods, and I love receiving flowers from him!” she announced loudly without giving a fuuck.At first, silence washed over the office so that one could hear a pin drop. And then, suddenly, a thunderstorm of laughter cut through the air.They thought she was clowning!“Sebastian Woods? Seriously? Girl, are you high on cheap cocaine?” One female colleague asked, and everyone tilted with laughter again.Only Liam sat quietly, watching the drama unfold without a single form of expression on his face.“Yeah. You all can think what you like. But I’ve told the truth,” Kourtney was annoyed as she went back to her desk.The Silverstone Gala will be happening in less than 3 days. She shouldn’t be wasting her precious time trying t

    After grumbling for a while, everyone simply accepted their fate.As she stood at the counter, watching the bodyguards facilitate her purchase like a well-oiled machine, Kourtney couldn’t help but immerse herself in her thoughts.It was bizarre, but she couldn’t deny she was enjoying this. She was “Kourtney Woods” now, and that title brought with it a lot of special treatment.Sure, it was uncomfortable being the center of attention, but it was also wonderful to know how much Sebastian cared for her. She could feel herself soaking in the perks that came with being married to a billionaire.Was this how it was going to be?Living a life where every little inconvenience could be whisked away so easily by a bunch of her husband’s carefully coordinated efforts?A life where potently strong men would rush to cater to her whims because of the man she married?It made her feel special and cherished in a way that she had never experienced before.She blushed deeply, glancing back at the over-

    “What’s wrong? Did I offend you?” Kourtney asked, finding him surrounded by books and papers—his own fortress of solitude.He had been different since he got home. It’s like she didn't even know him right now.Sebastian gritted his teeth, and his eyes darkened with a possessive rage. “I’ve had a long day, Kourtney, but something needs to be addressed.”He stood up, approaching her, and she felt her blood run cold. Time slowed as her heart beat harder in her chest, waiting for him to say whatever needed to be addressed.She blinked blankly at him, hoping it wasn't what she was thinking

I don’t want my wife to be seen hugging a guy in public.”Kourtney’s eyes widened in disbelief.How did he even find out?How could he know that she shared a small, innocent hug with Liam that afternoon?

    Kourtney gasped.Her body quickly responded to the sight of him.Would she ever stop being stunned every time she sees it?The sheer size of him always took her breath away!“Mmm, like what you see?” Sebastian teased, the corner of his mouth lifting in a wicked grin.Kourtney blushed, and he inched closer, the promise of what was to come looming over her like a storm.First, he captured her lips with his in a fierce, demanding kiss that left no room for argument. She immediately allowed herself to drown in the sweetness of his desire, in the raw passion that radiated off him.His lips found her neck, trailing kisses along her jawline, making her gasp at the sensations that raced through her.He pressed her against the polished surface of the desk, and with a flick of his wrist, Sebastian undid the buttons of her pajamas, pushing it open to reveal her lacy bra beneath. She shuddered as the cool air danced over her bare skin.His lust-filled gaze roamed over her body like he'd never see

    Kourtney's eyes dropped to the floor as she took in the criticism.There goes her confidence once more!She had spent hours agonizing over the color scheme, trying to find the perfect balance between elegance and drama. But now, it seemed like everyone had an opinion."I like the color scheme," Irina, her work Bestie, chimed in, her voice firm. "It's bold and eye-catching. Trust me, it'll make the event stand out."Kourtney smiled, grateful for Irina's support. She knew that she couldn't let the negativity get to her. Not now, when the event was just one day away.But her female colleagues just didn't know when to stop."Yeah, right! I bet she thinks she's so much better than us just because she got this project," one of them said, arousing a fresh wave of chattering.“She better not mess this up! But it's already looking like she would. The stage is too damn high!” They kept complaining about every single thing."I heard the higher-ups are already getting cold feet about this event,"

    Meanwhile, across town, Sebastian was sitting in another urgent board meeting at Woods Corporation to plan the launch of their new company branch in the UK. While everyone present was droning on about numbers and projections, his mind was elsewhere. That’s when his phone beeped, echoing a sound that cut through the tension and serious atmosphere in the boardroom. Sebastian hurriedly picked up his phone from the table to view the text. He hadn't expected a reply from Kourtney to come so fast.All eyes turned to him, surprised. The big boss himself was now smiling like a kid on Christmas morning.They all exchanged baffled looks. “Since when does he smile like that during these boring meetings?”Their usually stoic and focused boss who had previously forbidden everyone, including himself, from using their phones during meetings, had his fingers dancing across the screen like an obsessed gamer who'd just received the latest gaming console.Since when did he text so much?These past fe

    Scarlet took a deep breath and straightened her spine, knowing she was losing this battle but unwilling to surrender gracefully.“I dare you to tell me who you are and where you got that card!”Kourtney smiled, the victory sweet on her lips as she glanced around the store; everyone looked at her with so much surprise, admiration, and newfound respect, which gave her so much confidence.Turned out Sebastian knew what he was doing when he gave her this black card that day!It commanded so much authority.Today, she might have walked in as a humble shopper, but she would leave wearing a crown, and that was a win in her book.“I don’t think I have to answer you. It is none of your business.” She turned her head, dismissing Scarlet with a wave of her hand.Scarlet’s face boiled with rage. “You have no idea who you’re dealing with.”Right now, she was trembling at the edge of sanity.Kourtney remained unyielding, snapping her fingers as she said mockingly. “Oh, please. Are you that desperat

    “She is the—”Kourtney hastily placed a hand over Lilian’s big mouth, desperate to prevent the truth from emerging.“Don’t, Lil,” she pleaded, her eyes wide.Scarlet watched their little display with irritation.Holding onto her self-importance, she said mockingly. “Yeah! I thought as much! She’s a nobody. Take it off!”The condescension dripped from her words.Kourtney felt annoyance ripple through her, but she remained composed. She was the Woods family's young mistress. She was not going to let this woman intimidate her.Deep down, she recognized Scarlet's magnificent beauty; it was undeniable.But beauty without grace?That was something Kourtney could hardly respect. She bit her lip, trying to contain herself, as her mind raced with thoughts of how she could salvage the situation without revealing her connection to Sebastian here like this.Feeling the tension rising, Kourtney decided it was time to play her hand. “Since she wants to make this into an auction, let’s see! I would

    The other shoppers began to circle around them like vultures, curious about the unfolding drama. Whispers fluttered through the air like restless butterflies. Kourtney wasn’t one to back down easily as well, especially not when she was already feeling so confident in her new dress. “With all due respect, Ma’am. I’m already paying for this dress!” she said flatly, not wanting to take part in any BS.The manager, a well-dressed middle-aged lady with a no-nonsense attitude who appeared from behind the counter, nodded in support. “That dress has already been chosen by this customer so I suggest you find something else that suits your unique taste.”Just like in typical fashion houses, there was only one of such dress available. It was custom-made for just one customer!There wasn’t even a replica of it that could be given to another person. And by the way, she can't just waltz in here and demand for something that was already picked by another lady who intended to make the purchase.Who

    As planned, the two friends headed out to a trendy district in Melbourne filled with the most classy high-end boutiques.“Are you ready for this?” Lilian asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement as they entered a mildly populated Dior department store.“More than ever!” Kourtney replied, clutching the treasured black card that Sebastian had given her like a lifeline.It was the first time she would take the initiative to use the extravagant 300-million-dollar black card from her billionaire husband for shopping expenses.She remembered when he had given it to her after their first night together at Serenity Villa. She recalled how the man had behaved like such an insane amount of money was no big deal.He nonchalantly handed it over, claiming it was just a tool for her to use as she pleased. “Go on, spoil yourself,” he had said with a grin, totally unfazed by the fact that it was worth three hundred million fucking dollars.He was such a Big Casanova spender!“Okay, let’s find someth
