Kathlyn hesitated for a moment, her eyes darting away for a fleeting moment before locking onto Kourtney's gaze.A bitter laugh escaped her lips, devoid of any humor. "Oh, you really don't know, do you? You have no clue about the pain you've caused me, the opportunities you've stolen from me. But one day, the world will see you for who you truly are, and then youâll understand why I canât stand the sight of you.âKourtney's brow furrowed in confusion. "What are you talking about, Kathlyn? What do you mean by that? What are you hiding?â Her voice quivered, betraying her inner turmoil as she tried to make sense of Kathlynâs remarks.Her mind raced, trying to piece together the puzzle of her sister's cryptic words.But Kathlyn remained stoic, her resolve unyielding. âOh, not now, Sister! But youâll find out soon enough. But for now, just know that I have my reasons for despising you.âWith a final glare, she turned on her heel and strode towards the door, leaving Kourtney standing there,
âWHY??? Why am I so affected by him? It's just a shower, just a deal. But itâs... it's intoxicating," Kourtney pondered, her breath catching in her throat as heat coursed through her veins. But then she needed to stick to the plan and not get carried away by the manâs drop-dead gorgeous body and charms.Sebastian was a master of seduction, a man who knew how to play her like a finely tuned instrument, but she wasn't going to let herself fall under his spell this time.She knew she couldn't let him have her so easily tonight. Despite the overwhelming desire that pulsed through her veins, she needed to stay focused. FOCUS!Meanwhile, Sebastian licked his lips slowly as he let his sly gaze roam over her naked body, taking in every curve and contour with a hunger that bordered on obsession.The sight of her body before him, all wet, vulnerable, and alluring, sent a rush of blood straight to his member, causing it to twitch and throb with an urgency that demanded attention. **"Sh
After shuddering for a fleeting moment, Kourtney met Sebastian's intense gaze, her eyes searching his for understanding. âNnnn⊠Uhmm⊠Actually, I have a condition of my own. And you must agree to it before we go any further!âSebastian's expression darkened even more before he chuckled, a low sound that sent shivers down her spine. He couldn't believe her audacity.âWhat makes you think you have the right to condition me, Woman?ââWell⊠you did condition me into this in the first place. So, I am just giving you a taste of your own medicine. And if I remember correctly, your condition only stated for us to have a shower together⊠naked. Touching me wasn't part of the deal. Was it?â Kourtney said, putting on a brave face.She wasnât about to let Sebastianâs frightening eyes and demeanor scare her off from her already perfectly-crafted scheme.They say a man is at his weakest when he is aroused beyond control. Sebastian was no exception, and she was determined to use that to her advantag
He started to pump his cock hard and fast in her wet folds.âOh, God!â he groaned, feeling the lubricious, amazing, warm tightness surrounding HIM.It surrounded not just the length and breadth of his cock, but all of Sebastian, as though his entire physical and mental being was fully enveloped within the incredible, sweet sheath of Kourtney.His movements became even fiercer, more erratic, and unrelenting, driving her to the brink of madness with each powerful thrust. Kourtney clung to him, her nails digging into his back as she gave herself over to the pleasure that consumed her.She heard him growl in her ear, and she knew that was him trying to keep control of himself- he didn't want the fun to end too soon, and neither did she.She looked at his face as he power-thrusted hard into her, his eyes nearly crossed as he bit his bottom lip with pleasure.The sensations are only getting hotter, setting off more fireworks in her head. âUmmhmmm, she moaned out loud, feeling the intense pl
Skyline Events.Kourtney dragged her sore and tired body to work, feeling the lingering effects of the intense and vigorous exercise Sebastian had put her through the previous night. They had gone from the bathroom to the dressing room mirror and then, to the bedroom, exploring different positions like two hungry lions lost in passion. She didn't get a wink of sleep all night.And even though every fiber of her being longed to stay in bed till God knows when, Kourtney knew she couldn't risk missing work, especially with the Silverstone Gala she was in charge of planning just two weeks away. As she tried to focus on her tasks, the news about Allen Corporation stocks and shares surging within minutes caught her attention. A wave of relief washed over her, knowing that the Man had indeed fulfilled his end of the deal.But at what cost?Despite the reassurance, Kourtney couldn't shake off the emotional turmoil brewing within her. Not even a single person from her family had reached ou
"You have some nerve. You're shameless!â Kourtney yelled.But Brandon didn't stop there.His next words only fueled Kourtney's fury. With heavy regrets etched in his voice, he revealed how Kathlyn had been the one to seduce him, painting himself as the saint caught in a web of deceit. He also blamed Kourtney for being too focused on her job, neglecting their relationship in the process which made him fall too easily for Kathlynâs temptation. He claimed she was always too preoccupied with her career to give him the attention he craved.Kourtney chuckled. But her laughter was sharp and cold.Unbelievable!So now he was blaming her for his mistakes? Now, he was trying to gaslight her into believing he was also a victim.She could only conclude that he came here drunk. After all, his mouth mildly smelled of vodka. âThat had to be the reasonable explanation for this charade,â she thought."IâŠ. I can't believe you," Kourtney seethed, her hands clenched at her sides. "Why are you telling me
Woods Corporation.The CEOâs office exuded an aura of power and luxury, with sleek modern furniture and expansive windows offering a breathtaking view of the Melbourne city skyline.Sebastian Woods sat leisurely in the mahogany desk, glancing through the daily business newspapers. He was lost in the world of numbers and reports, his mind focused on the latest financial news while his piercing gaze drifted lazily over the bold headlines, scanning the words with a sharp focus.He barely registered the presence of anyone else in his office until a familiar âannoyingâ voice broke through his concentration."Hey! HEY! I'm still here, remember?" The voice belonged to none other than Edwin Woods, Sebastian's cousin and most trusted confidant, a man he tasked with his most delicate affairs. Matter of fact, Edwin was the one who always helped him to do his most dirty business - the most recent one being taking down the Allen family Corporation.Among the entire Woods family, Edwin was probabl
Falling in love again had always been one of his biggest fears.He had always hated the feeling of being vulnerably in love with someone, and truthfully, heâd been so thankful for that jarring accident years ago - the one that tainted and somewhat âmutilatedâ him. The one that caused him a psychological disorder, rendering him unable to get too close to the opposite gender.The incident had left him scarred, both physically and emotionally, but had also gifted him a life of solitude and peace. A life devoid of love yet strangely fulfilling in its own way.YES!His life had been boring and uneventful back then, but it was PEACEFUL.He never had to worry about the thought of anyoneâs betrayal. Never!He had avoided women like the plague, and that had always acted as a shield against the dangers of falling in love again.He had built walls around his heart, believing he was protecting himself from further pain.But nowâŠ. those walls lay shattered at his feet.Now, he had completely screw
Kourtneyâs senses sharpened immediately.This couldn't possibly be just a technical mishap! The entire event had been going on smoothly for hours now. So why now?Why when she was on stage speaking?A rush of urgency pulled her attention back to Debbie Howard once more.She felt a bead of sweat trickle down her temples as she recalled the smirk plastered on Debbie's face. It was still lingering, still taunting. Was this part of her plot?What more was she plotting? As if to confirm her suspicion, the giant screen on the stage behind her suddenly lit up and started playing an ear-piercing sound.Kourtney wanted to cry at this point. It was as if the universe was conspiring against her triumph. Her big moment was being ruined by such disruptions.But that wasn't even the end of it.Gasps and loud murmurs from the crowd suggested that something much worse could be happening. People were pointing at the screen behind her.She turned back to face it with her heart in her throat.A vid
Kourtney smiled brightly.Goodness, it felt incredible to be acknowledged in such a way. She knew that the glamorous lights made her look radiant, but their astonishment ran deeper than appearance. She could tell that they couldnât fathom why the most powerful man in the room would break his stoic persona for her.And with each sound of approval from the crowd, Kourtneyâs confidence began to swell, her earlier apprehensions replaced with a fiery determination. She turned toward her in-laws seated in the front rows.Grandpa Woods was on his feet as he supported his frail legs with his walking stick. Kourtney blushed. The Old Man had a sparkle of pride in his eyes, as if saying âThat's my talented Granddaughter-in-law.âApart from him, Edwin, his sister, Clara, and a few other Woods family members were upstanding in honor of her.However, the majority of them, including Sheila, her mother, and her sister still had that disdainful and envious looks on their faces.Nevertheless, the ovati
As she made her way towards the podium, through the backstage, Kourtney was still nervous as hell. The howling and supportive chants from the crowd could do nothing to calm her raging nerves.She just had a bad feelingâŠas if something would go wrong and she just couldn't shake it off. She decided to keep her head high regardless, not wanting to flop.She would grace the stage in front of so many people, her husband, his family, her own family, her ex and his family, and then the entire worldâThere should be no room for flopping!A feeling of impending dread should not be her utmost thought at the moment. She just needed to focus on what she was going to say so as not to appear stupid.But then Kourtney saw her, and her heart dropped.A very familiar figure!There, lurking in the shadows of the backstage area, was Debbie Howard dressed informally in a black and white uniform as if she were among the lighting or technical staff.Kourtney felt a chill run down her spine, like icy fingers
Scarlet knew that getting a little revenge would at least make her feel so much better about herself tonight.While she stood, brainstorming ideas of what to do, the live performance ended.âGive it up for BTS!â the host announced as all seven members left the stage in high spirits.It was a spectacular ten-minute medley of their top hits across the span of their decade-long career. The crowd erupted into thunderous applause, still buzzing from the electrifying performance that had turned the evening into an unforgettable spectacle.The crowd of people that had gathered including Kourtney and Lilian, started going back to their various seats. Everyone was chatting so excitedly.âDid you see that choreography?â one woman exclaimed, her eyes shining with awe.âRight? I thought I was going to faint!â her friend replied, clutching her purse as if it were a lifebuoy.It was one hell of a show!The performance was finally over, and it was time to move on to another part of the program.âNow
His eyes drifted across the crowd, scanning for something familiar.Then he saw herâKourtney.It was effortless to spot her amid the crowd; her vibrant green dress had been so eye-catching all night.Of course, she was going to be there at the forefront enjoying this nonsense!In fact, it was like she was at the center of it all.Soon enough, he was capturing every move she made, unable to tear his eyes away as she danced with her friend. It was almost as if they had previously mastered the moves as they imitated the backup dancers on stage.Hilarious!But the more Kourtney glowed with undeniable joy, the more Sebastianâs irritation melted away, replaced by something warmer as he felt a strange tug in his chest.Just seeing his wife so happy lifted the weight off his shoulders, as if he were dancing along with her.And to his surprise, he found himself swaying slightly in rhythm to the music. Unconsciously, he began to nod his head, tapping his foot against the polished floor.Just wa
Lilian hated this.She didn't want Kourtney to wake up one day and realize you wasted years waiting for a man who only wanted you in the shadows.She wasnât just Kourtney anymore; she was Kourtney Woods, the wife of the most powerful man in Melbourne. And she needs to shine beside him.âLook, Kourt, I care about you, and it worries me. You have every right to be out there, sitting by his side and drawing the kind of respect that comes with being his wife. Youâre not just some side project; you deserve to shine, to be the most important person in his life.âKourtney bit her lip, filled with the combination of sorrow and a will to believe in Sebastian. âBut⊠But he introduced me to his family. Doesnât that mean anything?ââMaybe,â Lilian said, softening a bit. âBut you need to have a talk with him. Make him realize that hiding you isnât an option. Youâre not a secret; Girl, youâre his wife! And I swear to God, if you let this man keep treating you like some *hidden secret*, I will perso
When Kourtney received the text right after stepping out of the ladies' bathroom, she frowned.She had just had the most insane confrontation with his ex-girlfriend, who threatened to throw her out of her âownâ event. The situation had left her rattled, and right now, she wasnât in a good mood.Once again, she ignored the manâs message and tucked her phone into her purse.âTypical Sebastian,â she muttered under her breath, feeling that simmering frustration become something deeper.Why couldnât he understand that this wasnât just a simple event for her?She was nervous as hell, wishing everything would go smoothly.Her whole career was at stake here!Nothing must go wrong, and she was supposed to make sure of it.However, the fact that she was living a double life right here made things so difficult.First, she was bullied by Sheila and her friends, now, she had run into Scarlet. Her emotions were all over the place now, and she could barely focus.Just as she grappled with her feelin
âI should just rip this off of you! You donât deserve it! Who the hell do you think you are?â Scarlet spat, her demeanor feral, like a wild animal cornered and desperate.âJust a woman who refuses to blend into the background while you prance around like you're the queen of the world.âShocked gasps echoed through the room. The vibe in the restroom had shifted in Kourtneyâs favor.A handful of other women had already gathered around the two like bees. Some had their phones secretly pulled out and recorded the altercation as it unfolded.A supposed world-famous model and idol was behaving wildly and harassing a lady over a dressâit was surely going to make good headlines for the press.Scarlet barely even noticed they were being taped, too consumed by the red haze of jealousy and rage that clouded her judgment. âLook at you, acting like you own this place!â she shouted, her face flushed with indignation.Kourtney, standing her ground, firmly replied, âI am owning it!âScarlet noticed t
Scarlet Thompson glided towards the lavish ladies' restroom with a heavy heart.She felt dejected, each step heavier than the last.She was more than just a blonde bombshell; she was the queen of this realm. But at this moment, she felt stripped of her crown.Despite being known for turning heads wherever she went, tonight, she felt utterly invisibleHer heart sank as she recalled how, for the whole evening, Sebastian hadnât even bothered to look her way.The man didnât pay attention to anyone but himselfâŠ.He sat at his solo table, effortlessly charming, with the air of a king who couldnât be bothered to glance at her for a second while she remained an invisible shadow just a few meters away at her familyâs table.Absolutely devastating!The sting in her chest twisted harder each time she glanced his way.It pained her so much that the man didnât seem to give a fuck about her. It hurt her ego so much.How could he not even acknowledge her?âJust breathe,â she murmured, leaning her we
