"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."IâŚ. I can't believe you," Kourtney seethed, her hands clenched at her sides. "Why are you telling me

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.

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.

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.

Sebastian didnât know how he did it, but he drove back to Woods Corporation in one piece.

His hands were still shaking from the adrenaline rush of his reckless driving.He was still stark-raging mad!Walking unsteadily to his office, Sebastian didn't go unnoticed by his swam of nosy employees. But everyone knew well enough to shut up and bow respectfully as he walked through to get to his private elevator.It was as if a cloud of anger was hovering over him like a dark storm.As soon as he got into his office, he slammed the door shut behind him and made a beeline for the mini bar tucked away in the corner of the room.Without hesitation, he grabbed a bottle of Campari whisky as if his whole life depended on it.He wanted to at least get rid of a small portion of the venom and pain in his heart.Pouring himself a generous amount, he raised the glass to hi
