Upon reaching Woods Corporation, Lilian rushed into the towering glass building in haste. She could feel the prying eyes of the staff on her as she stormed through the lobby, her determination radiating from her every step.

“I need to see the CEO, Sebastian Woods,” she declared to the receptionist.

The receptionist, a young woman with an air of arrogance, raised an eyebrow. “Do you have an appointment?”

“Appointment? Kourtney’s in jail, and I need to talk to him now!” Lilian exclaimed, her voice rising with urgency.

The receptionist smirked, flipping her long hair over her shoulder as if Lilian’s panic was a mere triviality. “I’m sorry, but you cannot see President Woods without a proper appointment.”

Lilian felt like slamming her overly done plastic surgery face on the desk, but she held herself back.

However, her blood continued to boil over. Heat rose in her cheeks, and her hands trembled with barely contained rage.

“Do you even understand the situation? My friend could be in serio

    Lilian turned her head toward the voice. It was a very tall, striking man with raven-dark hair that cascaded just above his chiseled cheekbones. His piercing blue eyes seemed to hold a universe of secrets, demanding attention from everyone in the room.And the way he carried himself screamed power and might.He was an Adonis, and for a fleeting moment, Lilian felt her mouth go dry, but she quickly regained her composure, reminding herself that she was here to save Kourtney, not to gawk at handsome strangers.“Yeah! What's it to you?” she shot back, her tone laced with her usual bossiness, trying to mask the flutter of attraction she felt. ‘Great, now I sound like a teenager!’ she thought, annoyed with herself.The man—Edwin Woods, chuckled softly, a sound that was both charming and infuriating.“It's nothing to me, but I'm related to someone for whom that name means the world.”Lilian's heart skipped a beat, and she gasped, her eyes narrowing as she scrutinized him closely. She notice

    Inside the precinct, Kourtney felt like she was in hell!After her horrible family had left, the wicked officers had dragged her through a series of dimly lit hallways, their grip unyielding as they pulled her toward an entirely different section of the station.They exchanged knowing glances before they shoved her into a stark, rough room. Kourtney did not need a prophet to tell her that a certain someone had ordered them to do this.This new space was a far cry from the sterile confines of the comfortable holding cell she’d just left. The walls were grimy, and the air was thick with the stench of waste and despair.Kourtney felt her heart pounding in her chest as she stepped inside. Her heart sank even further when she realized something— she was not alone.Hell!The more she took in the scene, the more her eyes widened in fear. The women around her were a far cry from the polished, privileged circles she was used to.They were spread out across the benches, their eyes narrowing as

 shielding her against this wicked world.‘If only he would come for me,’ she thought desperately. If only he would burst through those doors and take her away from this nightmare. She needed her husband here now!She needed him now more than ever!The realization that she needed her husband was a hard pill for her to swallow. But now, she was done shying away from that thought. Lilian was right, after all.She knew now that she needed Sebastian so badly. He was like a God-sent to her, but she had been too blind to see and acknowledge that fact all this while.She needed that man, not only in this situation but also in her quest for revenge against her so-called family. At this point, Kourtney didn't care anymore.This time, she was done playing the good daughter.She was done being the naive little girl who they could step on so easily and get away with it.But now,

    “Fire every officer on duty today. The ones who mistreated and manhandled my wife,” Sebastian commanded a frightened senior police officer after carrying Kourtney back to the lobby of the precinct.His voice was a low growl, and each word was laced with an unmistakable threat that echoed through the whole place like a gunshot. He expected nothing less than justice for what they did to his precious wife.The officer gulped, fear evident in his eyes. “B-but sir, I—”“No excuses,” Sebastian cut him off, his gaze piercing. “You’ll do as I say, or you’ll regret it.” The threat was clear, and the officer quickly nodded, scrambling to do his bidding. He was clearly shaken by the billionaire's unexpected presence. Even Governors were intimidated by this man, much less him, a mere Chief of Police. “Yes, sir! It will be done, immediately.”Kourtney watched as Sebastian’s anger simmered beneath the surface.‘You didn’t have to do that. I mean, firing them? Isn’t that a bit extreme?’Those were

    As Sebastian carried Kourtney safely out of the precinct and away from the chaotic paparazzi, Lilian's eyes followed them, her heart swelling with relief and concern. She felt a wave of happiness wash over her. Lilian had always been Kourtney’s rock—the one who held her together whenever her family did her dirty. Memories of late-night talks about their dreams and fears flooded back, and now, seeing that her best friend had such a man to protect her after all that she’s been through in that toxic and shitty family of hers made her heart so glad.“At least she’s safe now,” she murmured to herself, a small smile breaking through her worried expression. “Let’s go. I’ll drop you off,” Edwin’s deep voice jolted her out of her thoughts. She turned to face him, and her eyes met with the intensity of his piercing gaze.There was an undeniable chemistry between them, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that the man was “trouble.”For all she knew, this man could be dangerous. And he seemed l

    “Uhh?” Lilian frowned, her curiosity piqued. “I don’t know, what?”“An impasta!” His laughter filled the car, and it was so infectious that she couldn’t help but burst into giggles, the tension between them evaporating like morning mist.“Oh my God, that was terrible!” she exclaimed, holding her stomach as the laughter bubbled up uncontrollably. “You should be ashamed of yourself!”She couldn’t help but admire how effortlessly he lightened the mood. His humor was exactly what she needed to shake off the shadows of her earlier thoughts.But then, she clamped her mouth shut, mentally scolding herself for laughing so hard at such a boring joke. As she held her mouth closed tightly, she wondered why she was suddenly so self-aware around this stranger.Why was he making her feel so flustered? She was usually confident and composed, but here she was, giggling like a schoolgirl.What would he think of her then?“Are you alright?” Edwin asked, glancing at her with a teasing smile. “You look l

    “I owe you an apology,” Sebastian started with all sincerity in his gaze.He wasn't used to giving apologies, but he wanted to try his best anyway.He took a deep breath, visibly trying to compose himself. “I’ve never been good at this,” he admitted, his gaze dropping to the floor. “But I need you to know that I’m sorry for all of it.”Kourtney remained calm, feeling a rush of emotions at his words. She had already zeroed her mind from getting any kind of apologies about what happened from this man. But now, he surprised her.“Honey
 I never intended for you to go through what you did at Coolaroo. I should have protected you better. I want you to know how deeply sorry I am. You were scared, and I should have been there for you, not just in the end but from the beginning.” As he spoke, Kourtney noticed the way his fingers trembled slightly, betraying the confidence he tried to project.His voice was thick with regret, and her heart ached at the sincerity in his tone. “I

    “Shut up, Denise,” Grandma Florence finally snapped.The whole living room fell silent, all eyes turning to her.“Mum, stop defending her!” Aunt Denise interjected, her tone accusatory. “She’s the reason we’re in this mess! If she had just listened—““Enough!” Grandma Florence barked again at her daughter. Her patience was wearing thin.Denise opened her mouth to argue again but was swiftly silenced by her mother’s voice booming through the room once more. “I said shut up. Kourtney is still family!”Denise was very pained.This wasn’t the reaction she had been expecting from her mother after seeing the news.Why wasn’t everyone in the family celebrating Kourtney‘s downfall like she was?“You—you can’t be serious, Mum. Kourtney thought she had arrived with that sudden marriage and started treating us like nothing. This is the perfect opportunity to cut her off. Give her a taste of her own medicine!”Florence shot her daughter a glare sharp enough to silence her. “This is not the time f

    Grandpa Woods’ commanding presence filled the room.“Not another word from any of you,” he scoffed, lifting his walking stick in the air. “You minions should be ashamed of yourselves! Kourtney is family now, and I will not have you bullying my young granddaughter-in-law. You ought to be ashamed!”The women fell silent, their expressions shifting from smug satisfaction to shock.Since when did Thomas Woods become such a softie?Since when did he become so protective of anyone, especially an outsider?It was as if the arrival of Kourtney to the Woods Estate had flipped a switch in him, and suddenly, he was like a mere shadow of his former self.They couldn’t recognize the Old Man anymore.How did Kourtney manage to curry his favor in less than 3 days when they had known him for decades but couldn't?The way he fell enchanted with her in such a short time was still so hard to explain...No one saw it coming!Meanwhile, Kourtney's heart warmed at his defense, and she felt a small smile t

    Ever since he had heard about his First Love’s arrival yesterday, Kourtney had barely seen or spent time with her husband. For the first time since she moved in with him, Sebastian had been absent in their bed when she got up.And even in her deep slumber, she knew she didn’t feel his warm embrace or presence last night. She was more than certain he hadn’t spent the night here.She could feel it in her bones!Just as she was about to lose herself in her spiraling thoughts, she opened the bedroom door and stepped out, only to be met by the sight of two of Sebastian’s bodyguards waiting just outside.“Good morning, Mrs. Woods,” one of them greeted with a polite nod.“Uhmm
 where is he?” The question slipped from her lips before she could stop it.“Mr. Woods had something to do at the company, so he left first,” the other bodyguard replied, his expression unreadable.Kourtney felt her heart drop. ‘He left me here again to go to the company?’ she thought as anger bubbled inside her.She w

    Meanwhile, as Sebastian drove away, his mind raced.How could she just show up like that?He felt sick from the memories the woman stirred within him. The nights spent dreaming of what could have been, the love that had once filled his heart, now twisted into something dark and painful.God! She had turned him into a shadow of himself.Why had she returned?Was she here to stir up trouble?Sebastian was a clever man, quick to understand the intentions of others. She has to be here to cause trouble. Nothing more, nothing less.He gripped the steering wheel tightly as he navigated through the congested streets of Melbourne. The evening traffic crawled at a snail's pace, much worse than usual.Soon enough, he got to know there was a recent ghastly accident. A multi-car pileup around the scene had brought the main road to a standstill.Because of this, he was stuck in the traffic jam for hours with a throbbing headache pulsating at his temples.As Sebastian sat there, trapped in his sleek

    “Fine. Then let’s talk about that person you married... it was just for formalities, wasn’t it?” Scarlet probed, her eyes glinting with curiosity.At her words, Sebastian chuckled darkly. “You think you know everything, don’t you?” Scarlet's heart raced as she saw a flicker of something glinting in his eyes the moment when she mentioned that person. He was smiling now! He even laughed!“He—He can’t possibly have feelings for her,” she thought frantically. “No! Not after everything we had.”Her eyes narrowed as she assessed him, taking in the wedding band that glinted against his skin.It was as if something suddenly snapped inside her. Consumed by a wave of jealousy, she rushed at him, wrapping her arms around his neck, and pressing her body against his. She had moved so quickly before his bodyguards could move an inch to stop her. She took them all by surprise.“I need you, Bastian,” she said with desperation.Her breath was warm against his skin. She wanted to feel the heat of

    Across town, Sebastian Woods sat in a sleek conference room, surrounded by his British investors. The mood was tense; the meeting had been called unexpectedly. They were supposed to arrive the next day morning, but their flight had changed, and now he had to face them early.It was annoying just sitting there for him. He hated urgent and unplanned business meetings like this, but he just couldn’t keep these people waiting. He liked to treat his foreign investors well as they were important to the growth of his company. He had to be there no matter what.But, despite the urgent nature of the meeting, Sebastian’s mind was miles away.“President Woods?” one of the investors interrupted, waving a hand in front of him. “Are you with us?”“Sorry, yes. Let’s continue,” he replied, shaking his head to clear the fog of distraction.He wanted to focus on work, but his mind kept wandering back to HER.It was funny how he kept glancing at his phone on the table, hoping for a beep, a call, or even

    They both turned towards the voice. It was Edwin Woods.“What’s it to you? This is not of your business,” Micheal challenged.“I’ll tell you what? It’s every one of my business. That’s my awesome sister-in-law,” Edwin said stepping close enough to separate Kourtney from Micheal.“She’s a grown woman. She can make her own decisions.”“Right. But stay away from her!”“You’ll never stop being Sebastian’s little sidekick, will you?”“Being a sidekick feels much better than being the incompetent failure that you are,” Edwin scoffed.Kourtney watched as both men went head to head with scornful words flying around. She didn’t ask for any of this drama. She only wanted to come here and cry, then probably inhale the fresh scent of blooming roses till she felt satisfied.What was this evening turning into?She could feel the tension crackling in the air between them, like a storm ready to break. It was hard to believe that these two men were cousins who grew up together, yet here they were, gla

    Micheal grinned on hearing her positive response. “I’m glad you’re so interested in hearing what I have to say.”Kourtney was getting impatient now, “Yeah, so what is it?”In truth, she only wanted to get the conversation over with so he could leave her alone.The man smirked, reveling in the power he held over her. “Trust me. It's a perfect solution that we can both enjoy.”Kourtney's instincts screamed at her to be cautious. The way Michael leaned in, his expression shifting to something more intense, made her stomach churn. She didn’t want to hear whatever twisted proposal he had in mind, but a part of her was suddenly curious, almost desperate to know what could possibly come next.“What exactly do want?” she asked again, her voice tinged with a hint of annoyance as she silently wished he would suggest something that wouldn’t make her hiss with contempt.“Hmmm. So let’s be real here,” he started, his voice low and steady, almost hypnotic. “Bastian is clearly not committed to you.

    “Maybe that's why he still refused to let go of their old memories,” Kourtney continued talking to herself.She knew these images would be etched in her mind for a long time, a constant reminder of the love that had existed long before she came into the picture. Tears threatening to spill gathered in her eyes as she squatted down to pick up the photos.But on second thought, she felt a surge of defiance. She decided not to pick them up. Somehow, she wanted Sebastian to know she saw them without having to confront him about it.Did she even have the guts to bring it up?How could she possibly question him about something so personal?The thought sent a shiver down her spine.What would she even say to him? “Hey, Sebastian, I found a box of your ex-girlfriend's photos, and I’m feeling a bit insecure about it”? That would sound like the ramblings of a jealous, obsessive woman, and she was determined not to be that person.She didn’t want to come off as the psychotic wife who couldn't ha
