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.

    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.

    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,

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.

    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.

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

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?

    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. What I care about is that my wife was disrespected, and thus, she reacte

    Kourtney glanced around the room, eyeing the other women. They were all looking at her with suspicion as if she were a suspect in a crime she didn’t commit. Indeed, she was the target.“Oh wow! This has never happened in our history before.” “Who could be the thief?”“We've never encountered such cases at any of our gatherings in the past!”Kourtney sneered on hearing their annoying remarks.It was painfully obvious they were trying to make it look like the thief was someone new in their circle. It all seemed like a slow-motion scene from a bad movie that made her bored, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes in disgust.Did they really think they could frame her like this?She didn’t need a prophet to know she had been set up. The irritation bubbled within her. These women were more petty than she had ever imagined.“That's true! Why don’t we start by checking the purse of our beloved new young mistress?”Before Kourtney could say, Jack, Sheila had moved swiftly, snatching her purs

    The next day came quicker than expected for Kourtney. It was Saturday afternoon, and the Woods ladies always hosted a tea party. It was like a compulsory family-friendly tradition, they said.“Who still holds tea parties in the 21st century?” she muttered to herself, shaking her head in disbelief.The Woods family, apparently.Over here, everything felt ceremonious with a touch of rigid formality.Just the thought of it made her want to laugh and cry, at the same time.The ladies were dressed in elegant gowns, their hats adorned with flowers while holding dainty china teacups and sitting beneath a grand oak tree at the center of the Woods estate garden. Kourtney felt like she had stepped into a time capsule that took her to the past.Oh lord!It’s giving the 19th century.It was the Victorian era once again!What would they have next?A masquerade ball?She chuckled lightly as she placed her own flowery hat on her head, feeling as though she was part of some kind of regency novel.Li

    “We can leave now if you want,” Sebastian said as he took her reddened hand, massaging it softly.She didn't have to put up with this nonsense.Kourtney looked up at him, her heart swelling with gratitude.“No, I don’t want to. I can handle them,” she replied, determination flooding her veins.You can call her so many things. But a “quitter” isn't one of them.“Very well then. They will either accept you or face my wrath. I assure you this,” Sebastian spoke with ruthless precision as he pulled her closer.As a child, he had watched helplessly as his late mother was bullied continuously by members of the Woods family.Because of her poor background, they had never liked her.Back then, he couldn't do anything about it except clench his fists in frustration. However, one day, he vowed never to feel powerless like that ever again—a promise that fueled his fierce determination to succeed and made him become the man he is today.And now, he couldn't help his protectiveness over Kourtney a

    That fear!It was that fear that somehow protected her like a shield, making them comply with whatever Sebastian commanded, even if it meant accepting her as his wife.They hated her presence here but could do little to nothing about it.Great!Just great!As they moved deeper into the grand living room, ornate chandeliers hung from the ceilings, casting a warm glow that seemed almost mocking in contrast to the chilly reception she was currently receiving.Apart from Grandpa Woods, other family members began to step forward to greet her. But their attempts felt empty and void, mere formalities arranged with forced smiles, making her feel small and insignificant.“Welcome to the family, Young Lady,” a middle-aged woman with perfectly styled blonde hair said. “We’ve heard so much about you.” The words dripped with sarcasm, and Kourtney could see the flicker of contempt behind her bright blue eyes.Oh!They knew!It was clear they already knew her entire history.Her identity and recent

    The drive to the Woods’s ancestral villa was filled with an electric tension that made Kourtney feel alive yet utterly terrified. She perched on the plush leather passenger seat of Sebastian’s Bentley while he drove, gliding through the streets with great skill and charisma.Her heart was thumping loudly in her chest, and she placed a hand on it as if to calm her raging storm of emotions.Sebastian, effortlessly handsome behind the wheel, glanced over at her with an eyebrow raised. “Can you stop being so nervous?” He asked, a hint of irritation seeping into his voice while his dark eyes narrowed slightly. He saw no reason for her to feel that way. She was making him feel like they were heading to a live-or-die boxing match instead of just his family villa.The woman simply had nothing to worry about. If only she knew....... Meanwhile, Kourtney rolled her eyes at him, a small gesture of defiance, but she said nothing.He still didn’t understand. He still didn’t get it.And she gue

    After a moment of silence, when she didn’t hear any response, she shrugged it off as if nothing had happened.Edwin Woods's heart was hammering in his chest.That was a close call!He peeped, watching her from the small hole by the door.He realized she was still wrapped in that delicate white towel, her hair cascading down her back in damp waves. His mind raced, imagining how soft her skin would be if he could touch her. But he had to stay hidden.He observed every little movement, from the way she brushed her damp hair back to the way her towel hugged her curves. She was so beautiful, so enchanting, and he couldn’t tear his eyes away from her.He felt like a thief, stealing moments of her life, but in his mind, he was merely a guardian waiting for the right time to make his presence known.He watched as she rummaged through her closet, pulling out clothes.She resumed her whistling, a carefree tune that made him smile. The way she moved, so blissfully unaware of his presence, sent a
