As the evening approached, the sun began its descent, casting a golden glow over the Allen family's opulent villa. The atmosphere inside crackled with electric energy as it came alive.

The grand and spacious living room, adorned with lavish furniture, was full of people. Among them stood the formidable figure of Florence Allen, Kourtney’s grandmother and the Matriarch of the family whose presence commanded respect and obedience.

She had set strict rules and expectations for everyone, ensuring they maintained the family's reputation and legacy. Her eldest Son, Luke, who happens to be Kourtney’s dad, was her favorite child, yet she didn't hesitate to discipline him when needed.

    Kourtney couldn’t shake the feeling that Rachael Lind was trouble.Was it just her imagination?The thought gnawed at her, but she pushed it down.However, her eyes flicked to Sebastian, searching his face. His jaw tightened, a flash of irritation crossing his features as if he was annoyed at Rachael’s boldness.“Lind,” he said curtly, his tone clipped, barely acknowledging her.He was indeed barely tolerating her presence at his company.

    Without warning, Sebastian slid his arms under her, lifting her in his usual beloved bridal style with ease.As he stood up gallantly, carrying her towards the door, Kourtney’s emerald eyes sparkled with unmistakable joy.“Sebastian!” she squealed, her cheeks flushing. “You don’t have to carry me everywhere, you know!”“Oh, but I do, darling. It’s my new favorite thing in the world.”“You’re ridiculous,” she teased, but she secretly loved it. She secretly loved him carrying her like a baby all over the place.“Ridiculous?” he countered, his voice a low growl as he kicked the door open. “I’m just making sure my wife gets the VIP treatment.”Kourtney’s heart fluttered, her nausea forgotten for a moment as she leaned into him.But soon enough, her nerves returned.Would she dazzle them?Or would she stumble?One thing was certain

    Kourtney pointed innocently at it, her voice light and curious. “Is that your mom?”Sebastian’s heart flipped, a sharp pain slicing through him.Even after all these years, any mention of his mother sent a wave of raw emotion crashing over him, grief, love, and something darker he couldn’t even name.The wound was still raw, a huge scar that never quite healed.He swallowed hard, his throat tight, but he forced his voice to stay steady. “Yes.”Kourtney’s gaze lingered on the portrait, her lips parting slightly as she took in the image of the woman.The woman was stunning, and her beauty was
. timeless.Just like Sebastian, she had raven-dark hair.It was long, cascading over her shoulders, and her face was radiant with a kind of warmth that seemed to glow from within. Her eyes, a deep, soulful brown, held a gentleness that made Kourtney’s chest ache.There was something so alive about the woman, even in the stillness of the portrait.“She’s breathtaking. And

    A long plush bed-like sofa sat in one corner, a bar stocked with the most expensive wine in another, and a towering bookshelf at the extreme end.“It’s like a second home. I sleep here sometimes,” Sebastian said as he sensed her bewildered expression.“Oh. But you've never told me you were crashing at the office once,” Kourtney's voice was laced with curiosity.He'd never slept out since she moved into his Villa
 well
 except, that one time when they stayed at the Woods family mansion.His lips curved into a sly grin. “Didn’t need to anymore. I got married.”“Oh.”Heat flooded her cheeks, and she ducked her head, trying to hide her blush.Of course, he didn’t need an office to sleep in anymore
 not when he had her waiting for him at home.The thought made butterflies flutter in her belly.Smiling sheepishly, she wandered toward the windows, her fingers brushing the cool glass as she stared at the city. All the other buildings around were far below compared to this

    Before Kourtney could respond, he stepped out of the car, circling around to open her door with that gentlemanly flair she’d come to expect.The man was spoiling her rotten!And why not?His hand extended, and she couldn’t help but smile. It was such a “Sebastian” thing—always treating her like a princess and caring for her in ways that made her feel like she was living in a dream.But the moment her heels clicked against the pavement, the dream turned chaotic
..Camera flashes erupted like fireworks.Paparazzi swarmed the entrance, their lenses trained on the power couple.“Mrs. Woods! Over here!” one shouted, his voice sharp and eager.“Kourtney, give us a smile!” another called, pushing closer.The clicks and shouts were overwhelming, a reminder of how public her life had become.Sebastian, unfazed, was already used to this life for years now. He pulled her closer, his arm sliding possessively around her waist.“Is it true you’re expecting?” a third paparazzi yelled.Kourtney was t

    Sebastian remained short of breath as he gazed at the woman. He was almost drooling!How does someone look so ethereal?Like a celestial being!Her dewy skin and rosy cheeks made her even more dreamlike.Angelic and soft!She looked too good to be true!Too sweet to look at!Meanwhile, Kourtney felt the man’s eyes on her like a physical touch, intense and burning.Her cheeks reddened.He stepped closer, his stare more intense by the second. His eyes practically darkened as they roamed over her, like he was memorizing every inch of her—Her gown, her hair, her face.He looked like a man who’d just seen an angel on earth and wasn’t sure he truly deserved her.

 you’re breathtaking.”“Stop being so cheesy,” Kourtney teased.But boy! He’s looking at her like he wants to eat her alive.“Cheesy? I’m just telling the truth, Mrs. Woods,” he rasped.She tilted her head playfully.
