Kayla's POVThe car came to a smooth stop in front of Westminster Mansion. Daisy, exhausted from the long day, had already fallen asleep. I began to undo her seatbelt, intending to wake her up, but my hand was gently held back by Harrison.Harrison extended a finger and gestured for silence. Then he took off his coat, indicating that I should hold onto it. I dumbfoundedly accepted Harrison's coat and watched as he carefully picked up Daisy, who was sound asleep, and got out of the car.I followed Harrison, moving through the front gate and garden until we reached the entrance hall."Thank you for bringing us back. I will take her now." I extended my arms toward Harrison, attempting to take Daisy from him.However, Harrison ignored my words. He casually glanced at me and focused on the door lock, calmly saying, "How much longer are we going to stand here?"Feeling helpless, I took out the key and opened the door. Harrison followed me inside.I glanced at Daisy, who was still asleep in
Kayla's POVThe exhaustion from attending the wedding had me drifting off to sleep quickly.I'm not sure how much time had passed, but I groggily reached out my hand, subconsciously wanting to touch Daisy beside me, only to find an empty space.The now cold bedding beside me jolted me awake. I sat up abruptly in bed, and my eyes absentmindedly swept over the alarm clock on the dresser, realizing that I had overslept."Daisy!"I didn't have time to think, and I hadn't even changed out of my pajamas when I rushed out of the bedroom, yelling Daisy's name loudly."Mom?"Daisy was dressed in a beautiful princess dress, holding a glass of milk and sitting obediently at the dining table, casting me a puzzled look.Sitting across from Daisy was Harrison in a suit and tie.He had an iPad in his hand, and there was a half-empty cup of coffee on the table in front of him.His gaze was shifting slightly left and right as he followed the financial news on the screen.I was momentarily speechless w
Harrison's POVI sat in the car, watching as Kayla led Daisy into the building of the kindergarten.As my gaze retreated, I casually glanced at the now darkened screen in the car. On the screen, that familiar face revealed a softness and warmth that even I hadn't realized.I'm a little lost, but thankfully, the screen lit up at that moment, and my face disappeared from the caller ID.It was a call from Joshua Ferrera. Without hesitation, I pressed the answer button."Wow, Harrison, are you on vacation lately? You answered my call so quickly!"Joshua, as always, liked to start with some silly jokes."Get to the point.""Well, this is the Harrison I know."Joshua, on the other end of the line, dropped his teasing and became serious again."We've just completed the surgical plan for Daisy's heart surgery on our end, and I think...""Wait." I interrupted Joshua."Did you call me just to tell me about Daisy's surgical plan?""Yeah!" Joshua, on the other hand, spoke in a matter-of-fact tone
Kayla’s POVKnock, knock…I stood outside the car, tapping on the window as it smoothly lowered, revealing Harrison's handsome face.I bent down, maintaining a certain distance from the car, and smiled as I spoke."Daisy asked me to thank you. Thank you for coming today to fulfill her wish and specially escort her to school.""Hmm."Harrison glanced at me indifferently, and his expression seemed much softer compared to before."Get in.""Oh, thanks. My office isn't too far from here, and I can take the bus...""Don't make me say it a second time, Kayla."Faced with my polite refusal, Harrison turned his head, his gaze towards me becoming serious.Perhaps it was because Harrison's extended Lincoln drew so much attention. Parents who were here to drop off their children at school turned curious gazes towards us.I gritted my teeth, pulled open the car door, and got in.The car started again after I settled in, silently gliding onto the road leading to the city center.Harrison frowned,
Kayla’s POVI stared in surprise at Nathan outside the car window, too shocked to respond to him. Instead, I turned to look at Harrison by my side.As expected, Harrison's expression had turned dark. He pressed a button, and then he stared at Nathan outside, his eyes conveying a dangerous message.The window lowered at a steady pace, and my heart was racing even faster. The two men glared at each other as if preparing for an invisible war."Do you know what you're doing?" Harrison was the first to speak. "If you don't want trouble, you better leave.""Well, Mr. Morris, you're the one who parked your car outside my company building. In my territory, the one who should leave isn't me."Faced with Harrison's threat, Nathan didn't back down. He even quickly put on a smile and once again directed his gaze at me."Kayla, to show our appreciation for your excellent interview article, we're having a meeting today to discuss future work and we've organised a celebration for you. Get out of the
Kayla’s POVLuckily, everything went smoothly at work today. My interview article received praise from the editor-in-chief. The production of the first issue of the magazine is halfway to success. Next week, we'll announce our theme to the public and do a photoshoot with Harrison, then we'll just wait to reap the 'fruits' of our labor.At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, I finished my work, picked up Daisy from daycare, and took the bus back home. As I held Daisy's small hand and walked with laughter on the semi-hill road in Westminster, an unexpected visitor was waiting for us at the front gate of our villa."Oh, Kayla! Daisy! You're finally back!" Amber, leaning against the wall, immediately stood up and rushed over to give us a hug."What are you doing here?"I looked at Amber, who seemed a bit weary, with a puzzled expression. Before I could ask her more questions, I quickly took out my keys from my bag and opened the front door."Come in! Do you need some water, Amber?"As soon as Amb
Amber’s POVAll my emotions today disappeared the moment I saw Peter.He was still the same, standing at the door in an impeccably tailored suit, exuding grace and poise, his face forever adorned with a calm and gentle smile.I had come to Kayla's house secretly, and no one knew why I had suddenly disappeared.I thought Peter would be angry when he saw me, but he still maintained his politeness and decorum.His presence seemed to be a wake-up call for me, like a gust of cold wind.I instantly realized how immature I had been. With our wedding, many nobles and business magnates came to our city.It was a great opportunity for both our families to engage in socializing and expand our business and political influences.As the future alpha and luna, Peter and I needed to engage in various social activities with them.We had to converse with everyone over jewelry and champagne, gathering useful information and support. For the upper echelons of society, relationships were like a web.Every
Amber’s POVPeter carried me into the bedroom with brisk strides and gently placed me on the bed.I lay on the soft, spacious bed, gazing into Peter's deepening desire-filled eyes.Our gazes became locked, and our breaths grew heavier.I nervously swallowed, restraining the fear in my heart, silently reminding myself."This is my marriage, my responsibility."But no matter how I reminded myself, I, who had never even had a boyfriend, was still trembling with nervousness.Fortunately, Peter didn't exhibit an overly urgent possessiveness.Seemingly concerned about my shyness, he gently stroked my hair and tenderly asked, "Do you need the lights off?"I hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."Peter reached over to turn off the lights, and I took a deep breath to calm my emotions.But as I exhaled, the room suddenly plunged into darkness. In an instant, my surroundings turned pitch black, and my senses became heightened.Peter lowered his body, his tall and strong frame enveloping me.
