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 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.

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 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?

    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.

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

    “I know. Right? But I have learned that you need to defend yourself if you want to survive in this wicked world.”“You’re lucky you have your husband to teach you,” Lilian said with a small smile. It was obvious Kourtney changed only after marrying Sebastian. She had to give the man his credit.“Yes, I am. He always says that I have to stand up for myself. That’s what I did.”“I love the two of you! I'm glad you have him to teach you. Finally, you’re no longer the pushover Kourtney I used to know. And I can’t believe he’s so generous giving you a card like that! That’s fuucking insane! He’s so Daddddyyy.”“Yes! He’s the best,” Kourtney blushed, daydreaming about the man.‘What should I cook for him when I get home?’ She pondered to herself.Or perhaps she could give him a neck and shoulder massage!Or maybe.......Suddenly, the waiter brought their ice cream. Kourtney snapped out of her thoughts and got the vanilla while Lilian got the strawberry. They dug in and didn’t speak for a w

    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

    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

    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,"

    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.

    “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
