Three days later, Tiffany walked beside him with
Tiffany settled into a window seat, watching as Seattle’s city lights faded beneath them, replaced by the endless darkness of the ocean. Kai sat beside her, silent. One hand resting on the armrest between them, fingers grazing hers while the other worked on his tablet.Tiffany remained silent, not wanting to bother him ever since she learnt about the outbreak and his father's company.Hours passed with only stolen glances and heavy silences. At one point, Kai stood, shrugging off his jacket and rolling up his sleeves before pouring a glass of whiskey. However, he wasn't drinking with her, but with Peter, as they were both focused on work.Moments later, exhaustion crept in, and she leaned back against the seat, eyes fluttering shut. Kai pulled a blanket over her, his fingers brushing against her cheek before he settled back in his seat.By the time she woke, they had already arrived in LTiffany stood in front of the mirror, slipping into yet another gown as Kasey, Kai’s personal stylist, circled her with a critical eye. The suite’s soft lighting reflected on the rich fabrics draped across the couch, luxurious silks, delicate lace, and shimmering dresses, all selected for tonight’s party at the mansion."I still think the first one was the best," Kasey murmured, tapping a finger against her chin. "Your curves, they are perfect." Tiffany sighed, adjusting the strap of the gown she was currently wearing. "I don’t know. It felt too… much."Kasey rolled her eyes playfully. "Honey, this party is filled with people who breathe wealth and power. Too much doesn’t exist in their world."Tiffany glanced at the selection again before her eyes landed on the satin masterpiece. Her mind wandered to Kai talking about how he wanted everyone to know she was. Was it really much? She exhaled. "This one," she said, reaching for it.Just as
Allison led her through the lavishly decorated ballroom. The opulent gold and cream decor, the towering floral arrangements, and the jazz band playing a soft, elegant melody in the background."You must be overwhelmed," Allison said, guiding her toward a quieter corner near the bar.Tiffany let out a small laugh. "That obvious?""Just a little." Allison grinned almost rolling her eyes. "But you’re handling it well. Trust me, I know how suffocating these events can be."Tiffany tilted her head. "You? You seem like you belong here."Allison scoffed, waving a hand. "Oh, please. My family has money, but old money? That’s a different breed. These people have been rich for generations. They breathe influence. You don’t just walk in. You have to be born into it, well... like Kai."Tiffany nodded slowly, glancing around at the carefully curated guests. The way they spoke, moved, and even laughed. It all seemed so effortless. Her eyes cau
Tiffany’s breath rose, her body shuddering her as her thighs instinctively parted. She swallowed hard, unable to meet his gaze, but she could feel his piercing blue eyes watching her, soaking in every reaction.Kai chuckled, pleased. "My love?" he whispered, his voice drenched in satisfaction.Before she could respond, another voice cut through the moment."Kai." Amelia called. Kai tensed and Tiffany gasped, forcing herself to focus. Her brows lifted, as hrr anger bubbled. She had seen him come this way, but she didn't think he would be with Tiffany.Kai’s hands slipped away, his warmth vanishing. He turned, his expression as cold as his voice. "Is something wrong?"Amelia’s gaze flickered between them, lingering on Tiffany. The way she averted her eyes, her lips parted and still breathless. "Your speech," she reminded him, just with that, she could tell they were intimate and this made her even more angry.Minutes later, Tiffany
Two weeks later. Tiffany arrived at a small house as she stepped out of the car, walking towards the gate decorated with flowers. The gate was a large, wooden double-door gate with a rich, dark brown finish, framed by white concrete pillars. The wood panels are arranged vertically.She walked towards the smaller pedestrian gate that was integrated on the right side. Above the gate, vibrant pink bougainvillaea cascades down against the dark wood and white pillars, and there are fallen pink petals scattered on the concrete driveway.It suddenly opened, and Noami rushed out, throwing herself into her arms. "I've missed you!" She said, hugging her even tighter. Tiffany did the same, holding onto her.But behind Noami, she spotted someone sitting in a wheelchair by the entrance. It was her mother. "I said we were going to get her together. Why did you go alone?" Her hands slowly slipped from Noami’s as she headed towards her mother. "Victoria?" She cooed, but she only stared at her wit
Noami exhaled as she sat down beside her. She looked around, taking it all in."I'm sure she loves it." "It’s so dreamy," Tiffany said, her voice filled with wonder. "I can’t believe it came true.Later in the evening. The doorbell rang, and Tiffany was still preparing dishes. "Noami!" She called, "The door!" It was just spaghetti, why was it so difficult to cook? She grabbed the pot and yelped as it burnt her hand. Tiffany dropped it down, her eyes scanning the kitchen for the rag. Until she heard Kai's voice. "Tiffany! Kai's here!" Noami announced, and there were other familiar voices around accompanied by soft laughter. "I told her I wasn't going to do the cooking. Tiffany doesn't know how to cook." Everywhere went quiet for a second, and then, there he was leaning by the door. "Looks like someone needs my help?" Kai asked, his voice came out soft and low. Tiffany looked up at him, giggling. "No, I've got this. You're my guest, and I should be... ouch!" She gasped, stepping a
The next morning, Kai's lips brushed softly against Tiffany’s skin, his touch slow and unhurried, as if savouring every inch of her. His body pressed against hers, warm and firm, his arms locked around her as if he had no intention of ever letting go.Even in his sleep, he had kept her close, his fingers grazing her waist, his breath steady against her neck.Tiffany sighed, stretching beneath him, enjoying the weight of his body. "I have somewhere to be, baby," she murmured, shifting in his grasp.Kai groaned, his arms tightening around her waist, pulling her flush against him. "Stay," he muttered against her shoulder, his voice rough with sleep.She laughed softly, wiggling out of his grip despite his resistance. As she stood, she could feel his eyes on her, burning with longing, his frustration barely concealed behind the heat in his gaze.Kai exhaled heavily, propping himself up on one elbow as he watched her cross the room toward the dresser. His voice was laced with disappointmen
Tiffany stepped into the sleek, glass-walled lobby of Kai’s office building, her heels clicking against the polished marble floor. Behind her was Audrey who held onto her small bag. The receptionist blinked at her in surprise, her gaze darting between Audrey and Tiffany. "Uh, ma’am—" Tiffany raised a hand, waving off in tiny. "I’m here to see Kai."The woman hesitated. "Kai?" She whispered, trying to process the name, and gasped when it came to her. "Mr Winson is currently in a meeting—"Tiffany smirked, already swaying toward the private elevator. "Thank you."With a few quick steps, she slipped inside before the receptionist could say anything else. Tiffany pressed the button on his floor.As the elevator doors shut, she leaned against the mirrored walls, fixing her hair and adjusting her dress. A fixed smile played on her lips like it wasn't meant to leave. The elevator doors slid open, and she stepped onto the executive floor, where Kai’s assistant, Peter, immediately shot to h
Kai stood frozen, staring at Tiffany as if she had just dropped a bombshell. "What?" His voice was sharp with disbelief.Tiffany, kneeling in the garden, gently patted the soil around her freshly replanted flowers. She glanced back at him with a teasing smile. "Why are you so surprised?""You mean the dealer was Levi? The Levi I know?" His brows furrowed, his jaw tightening."I'm not sure if you know another Levi, but yes. I signed the deal with him." She dusted off her gloves, her tone calm and composed. "He made me a great offer and even wants me to open a branch in London. T&N Styles is doing really well, Kai. Oh, and we got invited to his fashion show next week."Kai didn’t respond right away. His scowl deepened, making Tiffany giggle. "Aren’t you the one always digging into people’s business? What happened, big boy? Lost your touch?""Tiffany," Kai said, his voice low, serious.Tiffany's heart skipped a beat. He rarely used her full name. Her playful smirk faded. "Why are you loo
As Kai drove out of the parking lot, the heavy rain drummed against the car’s windows, the rhythmic sound was soft. Tiffany's breath mingled with the low hum of the car, the quiet space filled with the sound of the rain tapping against the glass. Despite the storm, there was a sense of desire. Kai parked the car in a secluded spot. He quickly got rid of his tie, his eyes locked on Tiffany as she reached for him, pulling him close. Her lips crashed against his deep, urgent, and hungry. The kiss was fiery, like they were starved for each other. Tiffany’s hands slid over his chest, moving lower and Kai groaned softly, his hands catching hers.A low, breathy laugh escaped his throat. "Relax, love. I'm all yours." His voice was a husky whisper, and their gazes met for a heartbeat raw and intense. "Take off your panties right now and give them to me."Tiffany didn't hesitate. She slipped them off and handed them to him, her fingers brushing his as she
Tiffany stood in front of the mirror, smoothing out the fabric of her flowing red dress. The soft material clung to her in all the right places, the strapless cut baring her shoulders and the delicate curve of her collarbone. Tiffany ran her fingers over the material, smoothing out nonexistent wrinkles as she took a deep breath. As she fixed her earrings, Kai walked in looking dashing as ever. He was leaning against the doorway, arms crossed, eyes dark as they roamed over her. His lips twitched at the corners, softness flickering behind his gaze. "You look breathtaking," he murmured, pushing off the frame and stalking toward her.Tiffany felt a warmth spread across her chest, her pulse quickening, but she masked it with a soft laugh. "You too, darling." She whispered as he reached her, his hands skimming her waist before settling on her hips. His touch was firm and entirely distracting.Kai tilted his head, his lips grazing her jaw before pressing soft kisses down her neck. A shive
The morning light spilled through the curtains. The cool breeze whispered through the open balcony doors. Tiffany stirred, her body aching slightly and her muscles tender from last night. She let out a soft hum, stretching lazily beneath the silky sheets.Kai ’s arm was draped over her waist, his grip loose, his face nuzzled against her neck. Tiffany turned slightly, watching the slow rise and fall of his chest, the way his lashes laid against his eyes, and his hair covering his forehead, giving him a boyish look. His lips slightly parted in sleep. A smirk tugged at her lips as she recalled how desperate he had been and his pleas last night. Carefully, she slipped out from under his arm, suppressing a wince the moment she sat on the bed. As she got up, her legs wobbled beneath her. She padded towards the en-suite bathroom, her body glowing with a satisfied exhaustion. She took a glance in the mirror, staring at her flushed cheeks, tousled hair and her lips still swollen from Kai’s
The Hawaiian breeze drifted through the open balcony doors, carrying the scent of salt and hibiscus into the dimly lit bedroom. The soft rustling of palm trees outside was nothing compared to the sound of Kai’s ragged breaths as he lay sprawled on the bed, his wrists bound to the headboard with silk scarves. Tiffany straddled him, a wicked smirk curving her lips as she dragged her nails down his chest, revelling in the way his muscles tensed beneath her touch."You look so good like this," she murmured, her fingers tracing the taut lines of his abdomen, deliberately avoiding the one place he wanted her most. Tiffany leaned down, teasing him with her breath before finally capturing his lips in a deep and searing kiss. Kai groaned into her mouth, trying to chase her when she pulled back, but the silk restraints kept him in place.Tiffany trailed her hands down his chest, her fingertips barely grazing his skin, making him shudder beneath
His deep voice cut through, interrupting the nonsense she was about to start spilling after checking him out. "It's fine."Before she could ask for the payment. Kai handed her his card.Minutes later, Tiffany walked back to their space. Kai lounged on the sunbed, his head tilted back, eyes closed as the warmth of the Hawaiian sun kissed his tanned skin.Tiffany's gaze trailed over him as she approached, her lips parting slightly at the sight of his toned chest rising and falling with each steady breath. The white shorts hung low on his waist and his open crochet shirt doing little to hide the sculpted lines of his torso. He looked effortlessly stunning, and from the way a few women nearby stole lingering glances at him, she wasn’t the only one who thought so.A flicker of possessiveness stirred in her chest. Without a second thought, she climbed onto his lap, her thighs settling on either side of him. The sudden warmth of her body against his stirred him from his relaxed state, and h
The next morning, Tiffany barely had any time to sleep. They were heading somewhere, but Kai hadn’t told her where.Peter was driving while Kai sat in the back with her. Tiffany rested against his body as he made adjustments to some files Peter had handed him before they got into the car."Sir, we've arrived," Peter announced.Kai looked at Tiffany. She was asleep. He leaned closer, his voice soft. "Wake up, baby, we’re here."Tiffany let out a low growl, stretching. "I'm tired," she mumbled, sitting up.Kai smiled, taking her hands. "Don't worry, you'll get plenty of sleep if I decide to be nice," he whispered, opening the car door.As Kai helped her out, Tiffany gasped at the sight of the jet. She should have been used to this by now, but she wasn’t. It always felt new to her."What? We’re travelling?" Tiffany said loudly, the sleep in her eyes vanishing instantly.Tiffany’s eyes widened as she took in the jet, the bold lettering of Kai’s name gleaming against the pristine white bod
Tiffany’s stomach tightened with a little excitement as she stared at them both. Where was James?She nudged Kai subtly, nodding in Noami’s direction. He followed her gaze, "I'll be back. I want to greet someone.""I'll be back. I want to greet someone," he said.Kai held her close, pressing a kiss against her cheek before watching her slip out of his arms and head toward Daniel and Noami.As Tiffany walked away, her phone buzzed. Kai took it out, raising a hand to silence whatever Levi had to say. His gaze locked onto the screen.A text message from her father.Kai glanced at Tiffany. In just a few minutes, she had joined Noami, laughing with Daniel. Without hesitation, he pulled out his phone, took a picture of the message, and then deleted it from hers. He blocked the number, his jaw tightening. One last look at Tiffany, and then he disappeared into the crowd, dialling the number on his own phone instead.Meanwhile, as Tiffany approached, Noami had already spotted her and signalled
