"I beg your pardon, Mr Woods. Did you forget our agreement? You promised to give me a one-week grace period before moving in together. And we still have three days left. Did you forget?” Kourtney sneered.

She felt she still needed more time to adjust to this whole idea. She hadn't even had the courage to tell anyone about it yet; not even her best friend, Lilian Powell.

Meanwhile, Sebastian's arrogant demeanor faltered for a moment. He hadn't anticipated her reminding him of their agreement, which he had reluctantly put in place.

His eyebrows furrowed, and there was a conflict visible in his eyes. He hated to admit it, but Kourtney had a point. They did have an agreement, and he couldn't disregard it completely.

"Oh, right. I did say that, didn't I?

"Yes, you did. So, stick to our agreement!”

After a tense silence, he finally relented. "Fine, you win this round. You can go home, but I don't like it."

Kourtney exhaled, feeling a sense of victory. "Gee, thanks.”

    Sebastian was the actual owner of the hospital and could do whatever he wanted. However, after a moment's consideration, he decided to let it go, even with the extreme power he held.With a shake of his head, he turned away, dismissing the idea of forcing her back in. He had missed three full workdays, and there were piles of paperwork awaiting his attention. The workload was a lot!Yet, as he delved into the sea of documents, thoughts of Kourtney lingered in his mind. Sebastian couldn't shake the distraction she had become. He could hardly concentrate while she was sleeping beside him, and he still couldn't even now that she was gone.Just the simple thoughts of her brief peck on his cheeks left him in a state of disarray. Her teasing kiss and the challenge in her eyes had left a lasting impression on him."Damn, what's wrong with me?" he muttered, frustrated by the unexpected intrusion of these thoughts.Her presence, or the memory of it, lingered in his mind. He shook his head, att

    Woods Corporations.The entire boardroom was packed with higher-ups, executives, and top staffs of the Woods Corporation, all anxiously waiting for their big boss to arrive. It had been a few days since he was last seen in the office, and everyone was curious about his absence, especially since he never missed work.Speculations and gossip filled the room, with some suggesting that he must be enjoying his new married life and couldn't bear to be apart from his wife."He must be on an extended honeymoon," whispered one executive to another, causing a few chuckles to ripple through the room.“I honestly still can't imagine or picture “THE President Woods” in a romantic setting with anyone. It feels surreal.”“I wonder what kind of lover he'd be amidst his cold personality,” Monica Steely, the leader of the HR Department, says out loud. She'd always had a massive crush on the CEO, much like every other female at the company.“What if

    Skyline Events “I'm outside your workplace parking lot.” Kourtney heard the man’s arrogant tone across the phone line. “Uh? W–why are you even here? What reason?” “Don’t ask me silly ass questions. Do I need a reason to visit my wife?” “But you–” “Come down here. Right now!” Sebastian commanded before ending the call abruptly. Kourtney heard the beeping sound and stared at the blank screen of her phone in anger. ‘This man! What is he doing here? Isn't he supposed to be at the hospital?’ Her mind was in a mess right now. She’d already made plans to visit Sebastian at the hospital this evening, but now he came looking for her instead, at her workplace where others might see him. She didn't know what to think as she shook her head nervously.As she walked out of her cubicle, she couldn't help but notice the curious gazes of her colleagues, their whispers filling the air. The last thing she wanted was for her personal life to become a spectacle in the office, but too late

    After Sebastian left, Kourtney sneaked back to her office in a gloomy state. It was so difficult for her to witness her whole life being turned upside down in a flash. Being married to an arrogant and control freak like Sebastian Woods would surely drive her crazy in no time.‘I’m going to lose my mind real soon,’ she thought bitterly.The man was such a menace, and his ego was the height of Mount Everest.“Kourt
Kourt. Hold up.” Kourtney turned around to see Liam approaching her. Memories of their last encounter flooded her. As she recalled how Liam had practically confessed to having feelings for her, she started feeling a little uncomfortable.“Oh... Hi, Liam
 What's up?” she tried to keep calm, but she could not deny the sheer awkwardness in the air.Liam went straight to the point. “Why does it feel like you've been avoiding me? I haven't seen you around all day.”“Oh, me? It's... it's not like that, Liam. I mean... Why on earth would I avoid you? I've just been so busy all day,

    The loud horn of a vehicle startled Brandon and Kathlyn as they dined together in the villa’s garden. They turned their heads in unison, their eyes widening as they spotted the exquisite limo parked just a few feet away. The sleek white exterior and tinted windows created an air of mystery and intrigue.“OMG! Is that a Limo?” Kathlyn’s eyes glistered as she took in the magnificent sight. “Oh, Brandon, is this part of the surprise tonight? How did you know I’ve always wanted to get inside one? Did you hire it just to fulfill my dream and make me happy?” She continues to stare between Brandon and the Limo with puppy eyes.Her heart fluttered with anticipation of entering the majestic White Limo to ride around town. She also couldn't wait to post online about her fiancĂ© adoring her with lots of gifts and surprises before their wedding. Meanwhile, Brandon’s eyebrow furrowed with confusion. As much as he would love to take the credit, the car’s arrival unfortunately had nothing to do wit

    Tears welled up in Kourtney’s eyes as she struggled to regain her composure. She felt pain, both physical and emotional, and her heart sank as she met Brandon’s cold and ruthless gaze. During their years of courtship, never once did he physically abuse her like this. She wondered if this person was the same man she'd fallen so deeply in love with. "You know, Kourtney, I never thought you'd turn out this evil. Trying to stress her out, hoping she'll lose the baby, huh? Is that your plan?" The words hit Kourtney like a punch to the gut. The audacity of Brandon’s accusation left her speechless. She also couldn't believe her sister would stoop so low, using her pregnancy as a weapon to further her own agenda. She had fallen right into Kathlyn's scheme, and now she was being painted as the villain. This couple was really shameless! "How could you be so heartless, huh? Pushing a pregnant woman like that? I never thought you were capable of such ruthlessness!" Brandon was still yelling. H

    “Mum, if you hear whatever I have to say at the family meeting tonight and still insist I go apologize to Kathlyn
 Sure, I will,” Kourtney was confident her upcoming big reveal would be a turning point. She was going to drop a bombshell on them and could already imagine the looks of shock on their faces when she broke the news. ‘Let’s see if they'd keep on with the favoritism after that,’ she mocked inwardly. Just then, Kourtney remembered how her father, Luke, had been so desperate over the years in his quest to increase their family’s status. It was no secret that Luke was a sucker for money and power. This news would probably make him squeal with joy. She sneered in her heart, just thinking about how happy and satisfied he would be when he learned his eldest daughter married none other than Billionaire-CEO and elite Industry Titan Sebastian Woods, who also happens to be the eldest young master of the renowned Woods Family - the most powerful family in the city.

    “KOURTNEY ERIN ALLEN!!! Stop fucking with me!”“You heard me, Lil. I'm really married to fucking Sebastian Woods!” Kourtney’s expression was dead-pan serious. It was clear as day she wasn't joking, and Lilian could see that in her eyes. But the news was just too overwhelming. “Whaaaat??” Lilian's jaw practically hit the floor. A-Are you fucking kidding me?”“I wish I were kidding you, Lil, but I'm not. I'm dead serious!” Kourtney reaffirmed. Lilian's eyes widened even further. She was flabbergasted and could not believe her ears. "Sebastian Woods? THE Sebastian Woods? The Almighty President of Woods Corp? The Stone-cold man who rules the Melbourne Business Industry? Forbes #7 Richest CEO under 30? The same godlike Billionaire who's known for his reclusive nature and his hatred for women?" Lilian's asked in one breath. Her voice was filled with disbelief.She thought Kourtney was pulling her legs with that revelation. "Kourt, come on, this has got to be a joke. Right? You're joking

    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. She has to be here to cause trouble. Nothing more, nothing less.He gripped the steering wheel tightly as he navigated through the congested streets of Melbourne. The evening traffic crawled at a snail's pace, much worse than usual.Soon enough, he got to know there was a recent ghastly accident. A multi-car pileup around the scene had brought the main road to a standstill.Because of this, he was stuck in the traffic jam for hours with a throbbing headache pulsating at his temples.As Sebastian sat there, trapped in his sleek

    “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. It was hard to believe that these two men were cousins who grew up together, yet here they were, gla

    Micheal grinned on hearing her positive response. “I’m glad you’re so interested in hearing what I have to say.”Kourtney was getting impatient now, “Yeah, so what is it?”In truth, she only wanted to get the conversation over with so he could leave her alone.The man smirked, reveling in the power he held over her. “Trust me. It's a perfect solution that we can both enjoy.”Kourtney's instincts screamed at her to be cautious. The way Michael leaned in, his expression shifting to something more intense, made her stomach churn. 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.

    “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

    Kourtney’s steps were light as she approached the ornate double doors to Sebastian’s study on the uppermost floor of the Woods villa. He had left immediately after lunch, saying he had some important work to handle.She hissed, still a little hurt just thinking about it.It was Sunday, and she wondered what was so important that couldn’t wait till a work day.And how long would it take for him to handle the sudden emergency?She needed a breather from all the drama unfolding after the news of Scarlet’s arrival. Since her husband had left her all alone to her fate in the hands of his wicked aunts and other relatives who hated her guts, Kourtney knew it would be wise to just stay in her lane and not go back downstairs till when necessary.She pushed the doors open gently, not wanting to disturb the sanctity of his space. It was built and designed just like the one they had at Serenity Villa.Seems like the man took his bland and boring style so seriously. There was not even a single bri

    “So you had no idea she was coming?” Edwin pestered.“I don’t!”Sebastian, who had been sipping his glass of whiskey, answered in his usual stoic tone.But beneath his composed exterior was a man in complete disarray.The name Scarlet Thompson sent a jolt through him, memories flooding back from a time when he was young and infatuated. She was his first love, the one woman who had held his heart captive all those years ago.He felt a pang of something—nostalgia, perhaps?Or was it something deeper?But why now?What could bring her back after all this time?***********Later that day, at the grand dining room of the Woods estate, the smell of fresh savory dishes filled the air as the family gathered for their traditional Sunday afternoon brunch.Kourtney could feel the buzzing tension around the table.The family’s whispers were like daggers.She could hear tiny bits of their discussions.It was still all about the Scarlet Lady.She felt like she couldn’t breathe properly.And Sebasti
