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.âYeah! What's it to you?â she shot back, her tone laced with her usual bossiness, trying to mask the flutter of attraction she felt. âGreat, now I sound like a teenager!â she thought, annoyed with herself.The manâEdwin Woods, chuckled softly, a sound that was both charming and infuriating.âIt's nothing to me, but I'm related to someone for whom that name means the world.âLilian'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 sheâd 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 somethingâ 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
Kourtney's heart ached desperately for him. She thought of his strong arms around her, enveloping her⊠securing her⊠shielding her against this wicked world.âIf only he would come for me,â 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,
âFire every officer on duty today. The ones who mistreated and manhandled my wife,â 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. âB-but sir, IâââNo excuses,â Sebastian cut him off, his gaze piercing. âYouâll do as I say, or youâll regret it.â 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. âYes, sir! It will be done, immediately.âKourtney watched as Sebastianâs anger simmered beneath the surface.âYou didnât have to do that. I mean, firing them? Isnât that a bit extreme?âThose 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 Kourtneyâs rockâthe 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 sheâs been through in that toxic and shitty family of hers made her heart so glad.âAt least sheâs safe now,â she murmured to herself, a small smile breaking through her worried expression. âLetâs go. Iâll drop you off,â Edwinâs 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 couldnât shake the feeling that the man was âtrouble.âFor all she knew, this man could be dangerous. And he seemed l
âUhh?â Lilian frowned, her curiosity piqued. âI donât know, what?ââAn impasta!â His laughter filled the car, and it was so infectious that she couldnât help but burst into giggles, the tension between them evaporating like morning mist.âOh my God, that was terrible!â she exclaimed, holding her stomach as the laughter bubbled up uncontrollably. âYou should be ashamed of yourself!âShe couldnât 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?âAre you alright?â Edwin asked, glancing at her with a teasing smile. âYou look l
âI owe you an apology,â 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. âIâve never been good at this,â he admitted, his gaze dropping to the floor. âBut I need you to know that Iâm sorry for all of it.âKourtney 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.âHoney⊠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.â 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. âIâŠââIt's okay i
The next morning, as the world awoke, the tabloids and social media buzzed with the news of the previous dayâs drama. Headlines screamed, âThe Allen Family Drama Continues!â âWretched family!â âShameless!âJamie, ever the clever investigator, had acted so quickly. Using the influence of Sebastian, he had managed to obtain the CCTV footage and different camera angles of the confrontation between Kourtney and her sister, Kathlyn. Kourtney never pushed Kathlyn.It was all a clear and precise setup!The moment the video hit the internet, it sent shockwaves through the general public. Kourtneyâs reputation, tarnished by lies, was restored once again while Kathlyn and the entire Allen clan were being dragged through the mud.But despite the shocking and dramatic twist of it all, the Allen family news wasn't even the most talked about at the moment.Rather, photos of the billionaire CEO, Sebastian Woods, carrying an unidentified woman in his arms stole the spotlight.Newspapers, blogs, TV, a
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden hue across the villa, Edwin decided to take a stroll in the garden to clear his mind. Damn! He hasnât been himself all day. No, all these days since he met that woman.What was it about her that intrigued him?Why couldn't he shake her from his mind? âEd!â A voice called from behind him, breaking his reverie. It was Clara Woods, his little sister. Her expression was a mix of concern and curiosity. âYouâve been awfully quiet today. Whatâs going on in that head of yours, big bro?ââJust thinking,â he replied, trying to brush it off.âAbout what?â Clara teased, arching an eyebrow. âI saw the way you looked so distracted earlier. Itâs so unlike you. And donât tell me itâs about the whole drama with Seb, 'cause I know you donât give a damn about that!âClara knew her brother almost like she knew the back of her hand. There was something else on Edwinâs mind. Something more...âWait! Donât tell me... youâre falling in love with someon
The Woods Family Villa.The sprawling estate nestled among the prolific hills and lush greenery buzzed with tension. The grand room, adorned with antique furnishings and portraits of ancestors who seemed to watch over the familyâs every move, was where Edwin found himself surrounded by the ever-fuming Grandpa Woods and other members of the family. âCan you believe it? That boy has gone too far this time! Changing the ownership of the San Bora land to his wife? What kind of madness is this?â Grandpa Woodsâ bushy eyebrows knitted together in a frown as he paced the length of the room, his voice echoing with indignation. The other Woods family members exchanged uneasy glances, not daring to speak up at this time. Grandpa Woods was a man well known for his formidable presence with a reputation for his bad temper. The only person who had the guts to always offend him like this was none other than Sebastian, his antagonistic and rebellious grandson.âCan you believe it?â his groggy voice
Kourtney glanced down at her phone, seeing the screen lighting up with her grandmotherâs name, and her heart sank. The last thing she wanted was another lecture about family loyalty and unity. She took a deep breath and then tucked the phone back into her pocket, trying to shake off the unease that settled over her. Taking hold of the jug, she poured water into Sebastian's glass one last time before settling down to sit beside him.The man watched her with an amused expression, and she could sense his curiosity, but she didnât want to dwell on what her family was trying to do. It was all so exhausting with the back and forth.And as much as she appreciated her grandmother, the thought of her family trying to manipulate her again after everything was irritating. She didnât need a prophet to tell her that Grandma Florence's calling was just another attempt to coax her into giving them back the land they wanted so badly. And still, they hadnât bothered to apologize for how they had t
At that moment, Grandma Florence entered the living room, her old, frail body shaking slightly. The news had hit her like a ton of bricks, and she clutched her chest as if the weight of the situation was too much to bear. Seriously? When will it all end?âAre you okay, Mum?â Denise Allen rushed to her side in panic. âCall my doctor!â Grandma Florence managed to shrink out the words.They helped her back to her bedroom, where she could lie down and take her medications.Later, as the family regrouped in the living room, the tension thickened.Kourtneyâs aunt, Denise, stormed back in, her face twisted in fury. âThat damn bitch! Who does she think she is, asking that man to take back our land?ââDenise, please!â Matilda Allen, Kourtneyâs second Aunt, interjected. âThis isnât helping. We need to think clearly.â âThink clearly?â Denise scoffed, âThat child has already made her choice to humiliate us all. Itâs despicable!â âLetâs invite her for dinner at her favorite restaurant. We can
âOh!â Kourtney blushed harder, feeling her shyness melt away as they shared this playful banter. His mouth literally had no filter.âI think so too,â she added, recalling the wild moments of their night together.Sebastianâs morning wood was already evident, and she tried her hardest not to let her eyes wander down to the pointy thing peeking from the sheets. It was hard to ignore, thoughâespecially with the way he was looking at her, those horny and lustful eyes she was already getting used to.âYouâre a sight to wake up to, Mrs Woods. I could get used to this,â his voice was rough from sleep, yet it was laced with lust.Gently, he brushed some loose strands of her hair behind her ears, the gesture sending a rush of warmth flood through her body as she met his gaze.Kourtneyâs heart raced at the thought of how easily the man could turn her whole world upside down. She smiled. âYouâre not too bad yourself.ââAah!â he chuckled at her admission, the sound deep and rich.Their little m
Kourtney cried out again as the delicious thrills coursed through her veins the moment he startled suckling on her perfect titties.Handling them roughly and biting softly, he moaned into her skin.God, her tits were fucking amazing!He couldnât get enough of them.âYou know my tongue feels so warm against these," he said before dipping his head back to suck and nibble on one tit, his hand reaching up to cup her other breast and squeeze hard."Oh, God," Kourtney panted.Her nails dug into his shoulder blades, scratching lines down his back.She squirmed as Sebastian kept up his assault on her breasts.Soon enough, he pushed her flat down roughly on the desk in front of him.He wanted to savor this moment, to memorize how she looked splayed over on his workspace like this. This vision will forever be the first thing to come to his mind every time he enters his study room from now on.Without a struggle, Kourtney collapsed on it, lying on her back now with random papers flying off or be
âMmmmmmghhhâŠâ Kourtney squirmed underneath the man, dragging his face down to kiss her again. âI want you to touch me. I want to feel you everywhere.â Sebastianâs eyes widened in surprise, and he pulled back just enough to look into her eyes. âEverywhere, huh?â his voice was thick with disbelief and desire.Kourtney shook her head, a fierce determination shining in her gaze. âYes. I want you to claim me. I want to be yours.â Those words were more than enough to send a fresh jolt of raw desire coursing through Sebastianâs veins. This was so out of character for her, but he loved it. âYouâre different," he murmured, "What happened to the woman who always held back?" "I guess she realized life is too short to hide from what she truly wants." Kourtneyâs words hung in the air, heavy with promise as she fluttered her lashes at him. There was a fire in her now, a fierce determination that made his heart race even faster and his grip on her tightened even more.This was everything he had
Sebastian licked and sucked the milky white cream so hungrily⊠like it was the best thing he'd ever tasted in his entire life.He rolled her nipples around with his thumbs and index fingers as he continued to eat her delicious pussy, sending loads of her juices into his mouth. Damn! He loved the way she tasted. No, he loved everything about this woman. âYour body drives me crazy, Babe,â he said hoarsely.With those words, the dam broke!And with one final flick of his tongue, Kourtneyâs body shuddered and vibrated uncontrollably as waves of pleasure crashed over her. âOH, YESSSSSS. . . GODDDDDDDDDDDDD. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS,â She cried out as she felt herself exploding, leaving her breathless and utterly spent.The powerful orgasm ran like a train over her body, making her shake violently. It felt fantastic!âFuck!â Sebastian cursed as he put his arms under her legs, holding her hips as he pressed his face tightly against her swollen sex. He always knew she would taste fantasti
Kourtney felt a jolt of electricity at his words, and her heart raced as Sebastian stepped closer.There was no denying the way the manâs gaze darkened with desire. She had seen that look too many times alreadyâŠâŠ.âMâMe?â she stuttered with chaos written all over her face.âAbsolutely.âThe next thing she knew, Sebastianâs hands gripped her waist, lifting her effortlessly as usual, as if she weighed nothing.Kourtney gasped. Her heart was literally in her throat as her husband placed her gently on the edge of his study table, the cool surface contrasting sharply with the heat radiating from her skin.âWhat is this man up to?â she wondered.Not minding her obvious confusion, Sebastian settled himself into his chair. And with one swift and sudden movement, he held her two legs widely apart in front of his face while Kourtney gaped at him with wide eyes.There was that familiar predatory glint in his gaze as he inhaled sharply, enjoying the sweet scent of her womanhood.Sebastian could
