"Your mother had so much hope for you. I'm surprised, that was so easy, how disappointing. You have to step up your game if you want this company," he said, his gaze shifting to Kate glaring at him.

Kai walked past her, smirking as his eyes held his.

Kai's father, Mr. Nolan, stepped into a private office connected to the conference room. Kai followed closely behind, shutting the door with a quiet click.

The office was dark, filled with rich mahogany wood. The air was thick with the lingering scent of aged whiskey. Mr. Nolan moved to the bar, pouring himself a drink with careful precision.

"Why now?" he asked, his voice steady but sharp, like a knife. “Why suddenly push Conrad into my position?”

"You seem fine with your own business. It’s doing well, better than mine. Conrad has no company. Isn’t it time to step aside?"

"Never," Mr. Nolan replied firmly, his eyes flashing with determination. "This company is my life. I can’t hand over what belonged to my mother to someone who isn’t her

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   A STRANGE DINNER WITH PA.

    "No. Nothing... I thought I should remind you, it's only us, only you..." Tiffany went silent for a second before exhaling loudly. "Yeah. I know that. I've got to go." As soon as she hung up. She turned to Elle, sighing heavily. "Do we have everything prepared? Have you contacted Cherry to know when the model will arrive?" "Yes. By noon, it means we still have time to prepare the venue, but why did you insist on using your boutique?" "Isn't the view nice?" Tiffany asked, smiling at the window. The only reason she had chosen this place was because of the beautiful view of the city at night. "Miss Halton, where should remove this hanger?" A deep voice interrupted. Tiffany turned in his direction, she gave Elle a smile before walking away. "Contact, Cherry quickly!" She said, walking into the storage. Hours passed into days, and the whole event had ended. She arrived at her apartment. Benson opened the car door for her, and tiredly she walked into the building until she arrived at

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   THE WOMAN I LOVE.

    Kai tilted his head back, trying to let the heat relax him, but it did nothing to ease the heavy ache in his chest.He closed his eyes, and her face appeared in his mind. Tiffany. She was all he thought about, consuming his every moment. He could almost sense her there with him. Her laughter and the soft sounds she made lingered in the corners of his heart.Kai swallowed hard, feeling a tightness in his throat. It had only been a week since he left, he missed her as if it had been years. He wondered what she was doing currently. He wasn’t telling him anything anymore.His heart ached as he remembered her touch. Her voice, soft and playful, would whisper sweet nothings meant just for him. He could almost hear her calling his name, just as he loved it, but it didn't last as Henry’s voice cut through. "Are you crazy? You want to take over your father’s company?" Henry whispered.He sighed, covering his face briefly. "Yes. Why can’t I? The shareholders are on my side. My dad is getting o

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   UNREACHABLE

    Kai sighed heavily. "Tiffany?" He took out his phone, got into the car, and collected the tablet Peter handed to him. "Isn't it strange, Mr Winson? Tiffany’s mother's location was also released. The nursing home called and said reporters are all over." Kai took a deep breath. Her number wasn't going through. "Send Benson over. I need to speak to Tiffany and turn the car over to the nursing home. Something is definitely wrong with Tiffany." "This way, Mr Winson," Clara, the head of the nursing home, directed. Kai followed until they arrived at the executive floor. Her room opened, and there she was, Victoria Halton, sitting with a bowl of fruit in her hands, watching the television. Kai paused at the entrance, staring at her. She seemed unbothered. He stepped out, turning to Clara. "Is there any news? Did anyone call?" "Ah, yes. A man. He claimed to be her husband; he only asked how her health was," she said, her eyes wandering as if she were trying to recall the situation. "He

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   THE LIES AND DISAPPEARANCE.

    Hundred million? She thought, trying to calm her heart. Slowly, darkness engulfed her, and she lay there until everything was hushed. The next morning as she woke up. The sound of her ringtone had tapped her back to reality. She looked around the living room. The rotten smell of fish was coming in. Her phone rang again, and she picked it up. "Miss Halton, I was wondering if you are free by noon. I have everything you asked for." Tears rolled down Tiffany’s eyes. Finally, her way out. She took a shower and stormed out of her apartment. A few minutes later, she sat opposite Carlo in a small café down her street. Carlo handed the file to her. "Thank you for everything. I really appreciate it." Tiffany said, her eyes beaming with joy. She watched as Carlo walked out. Tiffany took out her phone, staring at the nursing home number. She had only called them once since that incident. "Hello, Miss Halton," Clara's voice echoed from the phone. Tiffany lowered her gaze. As she

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   THE DOUBLE DEBT

    Tiffany struggled, thrashing against the arms that held her. Her muffled screams were swallowed by the cloth pressed tightly over her mouth. The scent was strong, like a chemical. It was nauseating. Her heart pounded violently as she fought, but the hands were stronger, rougher. A deep voice muttered something she couldn’t quite process before darkness claimed her again. When she woke, her head throbbed, the taste of bitterness coating her tongue. Everything around her was a blur, her limbs heavy as if she had been drugged. She blinked, trying to adjust to the dim lighting. A single bulb flickered above her. The scent was stronger with something metallic and something rotting. Where the fuck was she? A basement? A warehouse? Her body shuddered involuntarily. Tiffany attempted to move, but her wrists were bound behind her, the coarse rope digging into her skin. Her ankles were tied

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   AMENDED SOULMATES

    "She needs a rest and a lot of it. I would advise her to stay a little longer, also her nutrition..." Tiffany stirred, opening her eyes. Tiffany’s eyelids felt heavy as she slowly drifted back into consciousness. The bright hospital lights overhead made her wince, forcing her to blink a few times before her vision cleared. A dull, aching pain radiated through her body. Her fingers twitched against the cool sheets, and as she turned her head slightly, she saw a familiar figure standing beside her. Noami. "Tiffany," Noami’s voice was soft but thick with worry. She stared as Tiffany tried to sit, and her heart ached. Noami lowered her head, sighing heavily, her shoulders sagging with relief as tears rolled down her cheek. Tiffany tried to smile, but it felt weak. "Noam–" she murmured but her throat felt dry. Noami exhaled sharply, squeezing her hand. "What the hell happened? Why didn’t you tell me? Why did you

    The next day, evening crept in slowly. Kai was still nowhere to be. Utterly bored, Tiffany decided to take a warm shower.Tiffany stepped out of the hospital bathroom, the steam trailing behind her as she adjusted the loose sleeves of the fresh hospital gown. She froze mid-step when she saw Kai sitting on the small couch.His posture felt tense, and his elbows rested on his knees as he stared at the floor. His hands were clasped together. Tiffany looked around, and Noami was gone.Tiffany swallowed. He hadn't left.The sight of him sitting there, made her heart flutter. Slowly, she walked toward him, her bare feet barely making a sound against the cold floor.Kai didn’t notice her yet. He was still faced down. Tiffany could see the rigid way his jaw clenched, the way his chest rose and fell with controlled breaths.Without a word, she slid onto his lap, straddling him. His body stiffened beneath her at the same time letting her i

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   ROMANCE IN SHOWER

    Four days later, Tiffany was finally free from the hospital.Kai didn’t let her lift a finger as he helped her into his car, making sure she was comfortable during the whole ride. She thought he would take her home, but instead, he parked in front of a tall building that looked over the city."This isn’t—" She looked at him, her eyebrows raised in surprise."My new penthouse," he said simply, opening her door. "You’re staying here.""Kai, why? Is this rent?" She stepped out, feeling a mix of excitement and confusion. "Am I moving in with you? Isn’t that a bit fast?"Kai sighed, meeting her gaze with seriousness. "You’re still recovering. I want you close." His voice softened, showing his concern.Tiffany took a deep breath, glancing up at the building before looking back at him. The worry in his eyes made her heart flutter. "Okay," she said, nodding.Happy with her response, Kai led her upstairs, showing her th

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   RAIN AND CAR RIDES

    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

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   HEATED THEATRE

    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

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   SPA WITH A MIX—

    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

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   MIDNIGHT FANTASIES

    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

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   BEACH FESTIVAL

    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

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   VACATION HOUSE

    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

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   FOCUS, TIFFANY.

    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

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   AN OLD FRIEND

    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

  • ONLY YOU, NO CONTRACTS.   A MESS ON HIS DESK

    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
