He hissed bitterly in her ears.Every time he told himself that he was going to draw a line with her, she would appear again and give him false hope.Again and again!He had lost count of how many times this had happened.Right after he slept with her, she went running back into Cooper’s arms.Why did she show up at the Lang Group Headquarters to see him today?Had she not had enough toying with his feelings?“I…” Kelsey stared at his grave expression and found herself caught in a daze.What did he mean that she had been tormenting him?He was the one who had abandoned her after their night together. It was him who continued his ambiguous relationship with Zara.How could he accuse her of tormenting him?The rain continued to beat on both of them.Countless cars glided past them, kicking up furious gusts of wind that sent scattered leaves billowing in all directions.Several more cars had to jerk to an emergency stop to avoid colliding with them.Instead of waiting for a

He took Kelsey straight into the lounge of his office.The first thing he did was to take off her drenched clothes.Then, he took her into the bathroom and turned on the shower.“I can do it myself!”Kelsey blushed and shrieked upon realizing that Tyler wanted to help her shower.Tyler handed her the shower head with a deep, profound look in his eyes. “I’ll wait for you outside.”After hastily taking a hot shower, Kelsey walked out of the bathroom.Tyler's towering figure was perched right in front of the window. He had a cigarette pinned between his lips.The smoke wafting from his cigarette made him seem especially mysterious.Kelsey was taken aback by the sight.Tyler never smoked unless he was in a foul mood.Did that mean he was in a bad mood now?As soon as he noticed Kelsey’s presence, he quickly stubbed out the cigarette and turned to her.She was wrapped in a white bath towel.After freshening up, she seemed as enchanting as always.A strange look flashed across

After returning to his office, Tyler sat down on the chair and lit another cigarette for himself.There was a dark, wandering look in his eyes. He was lost in thought.Then, Shawn knocked on the door and stepped into the office. He was startled to see Tyler smoking a cigarette.His heart dropped for a moment and wondered if Tyler had another argument with Ms. Young.He had always been a savvy man who could handle all sorts of complicated situations thrown at him.It was rare to see him being so troubled to the point of resorting to smoking.He only ever got depressed when he went through something drastic involving Kelsey.“Boss.”After he composed himself, he went to the desk and handed over a stack of documents. “I need you to sign these.”Tyler glanced at the pile of documents before grumbling, “Okay.”Shawn was going to tell him something about Zara but seeing that he was in a sullen mood, he knew better and stayed silent....Meanwhile, Kelsey had been sleeping the ent

Tyler gently touched Kelsey’s forehead and sighed with relief.“Your temperature has gone down.”Kelsey smiled tenderly. “Yeah.”Tyler fixed a solemn look at her. “What brought you here anyway?”The last time they met was a week ago when they slept together.He assumed just like previous times, she ended up getting back together with Cooper and was done with him entirely.Unexpectedly, here she was again.Kelsey blinked blankly. “I came to see you, what else?”A profound look glowed in Tyler’s eyes. “Why did you come to see me?”Perhaps she came here to tell him about her final decision.Kelsey smiled cheerily. “I came to give you…”Before she could mention that she was here to bring him lunch, Tyler’s phone suddenly rang.He picked it up immediately. “What is it?”It was his secretary, Candice. “Sir, the woman’s shirt you instructed me to buy is here. Would you like me to bring it inside?”“Okay,” Tyler answered curtly.Soon, they heard a gentle knock on the door.Upon

Upon registering the thought, she cried out, “Let go of me!”Tyler looked darkly at her. “Why, what’s wrong?”Why was she so against being wrapped in his arms?Kelsey whimpered, “I need to get changed.”Since Tyler had ordered someone to deliver new clothes for her, she figured she could change out of his clothes.Besides, his shirt was the only layer she was wearing and she was wrapped in his arms.The thin fabric of the shirt was the only thing separating their skin from touching.They were so close that she could clearly feel his body temperature and the thump of his heartbeat…Unexpectedly, instead of releasing her, Tyler carried her in his arms.“What are you doing?” she shrieked.“Time to eat!”Tyler declared stoutly.With that, he carried Kelsey to the premium leather couch in another section of his office.Then, he took several insulated containers set on the table and proceeded to open them. Soon, a full-course meal was unraveled on the table.He had ordered them

Kelsey swiped a look at him.“I… I wasn’t…”She bit her lip. Her first thought was to deny it.Then, she felt a warm touch around her waist.Tyler had wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.Then, he pulled her into his arms.Like an iron cuff, his arms were firmly locked around her slender waist. She could feel her back pressed against the warmth of his broad chest.At the same time, his masculine scent seemed to fill the air around her. She could breathe in his presence with every breath he took.She was briefly startled by the gesture but did not resist.On an instinctive level, she realized this was what she craved for.She looked up and cast a confused look at him.She could not understand what prompted the sudden hug.“Tell me why!” Tyler insisted on an answer.“It's nothing, really.” Kelsey shook her head subconsciously.Another dark look surfaced in his eyes. “Is it because of Zara?”Kelsey parted her lips to speak but suddenly hesitated.She realized she

Then again, they had slept together.Was that not enough proof of her feelings for him?What else was she supposed to do to make him believe her?Once again, she fell into a somber mood.The only thing left to do was to transform her grief into energy and force herself to regain some appetite.When she started wolfing down the food, she accidentally choked.“Ahck! Achk!”She coughed frantically.Tyler sprang into action and gently patted her back to help her relieve some pressure.Then, he poured a bowl of soup for her and had her drink it.Kelsey took the bowl from him and drank it in big gulps.The thick slurry of the soup slid down the edges of her mouth and trickled down her collar.After she finished the soup, her coughing fit subsided.When she set aside the bowl and looked up from the table, she met Tyler’s gaze which had a burning intensity within them.She was confused and proceeded to follow the direction of his gaze to find out what he was looking at.It was o

Kelsey shook her head profusely. “I’m not angry…”Tyler's expression turned dark. “If you're not angry, why would you resist?”Kelsey bit her lower lip and tried to defend her stance. “I’m not resisting, I just don’t want to do it in the office…”“You don’t want to do it in the office?” Tyler suddenly cocked a look at her. “In that case, let's change places!”Without waiting for Kelsey to respond, he carried her into his arms and brought her into the lounge, where he proceeded to toss her on the bed.He stared at her hungrily like a wolf. “How about now?”“…” Kelsey grimaced faintly.Technically, they were still in the office!They had merely moved to the lounge.“Tyler, can we go home first?” she asked shyly with a stiff pout.Tyler had already crawled on the big bed and was drawing closer.“You were the one who had been seducing me, are you trying to run away from me again?” He fixed a pointed look at her before accusing her.Kelsey barely had time to form an answer befor

Kelsey and Rosette discussed the specifics of auditioning for Adrienne’s new film’s costume design role.As the time neared noon, Kelsey glanced at her phone. Tyler had not replied to her text message. It was nearly time for Susan’s birthday celebration at St. Gill’s. Kelsey decided to go ahead to St. Gill’s. While on the way, she gave Charlie a call to inform that Tyler would not be available for the celebration. Charlie’s voice reflected his disappointment. “What’s this? Why can’t Tyler make it?” Kelsey bit the bullet and explained, “I haven’t been able to reach him.” “I thought Tyler adored you. Why couldn’t you get in touch with him? Did you upset him?” Charlie grilled her. Kelsey refuted, “Things have been going well for us, thanks for asking. He has an emergency today.” Her bond with Tyler could not be stronger. Heck, they nearly went all the way this morning. The nerve of her father to put her down. Charlie was furious. “I knew I couldn’t count on you.” He

Kelsey frowned. “What are you up to now?” She doubted Charlie was so nice to want the family to be together for her grandmother, Susan’s birthday. It was probably an excuse to get close to Tyler. Since Charlie got together with Megan, Kelsey could count on her finger the number of times he had been to the nursing home to visit Susan. Kelsey could not remember the last time Charlie celebrated Susan’s birthday. Charlie could not even remember Susan’s birthdate. Yet, Charlie was so kind to throw her a party. Kelsey could only suspect that Charlie had ulterior motives. “How can you say that about me, Kelsey? I’m your father. Am I wrong to throw your grandmother a birthday party?” Charlie reprimanded. Kelsey was skeptical. “You’re not wrong, but…” It was uncertain whether he had Susan’s interest at heart. “But what?” Charlie asked. He started blaming himself. “I know that I listened to Megan and neglected you and Mom. I’ve gotten rid of her. Now, I just want to be a go

With a predatory glint in his eyes, Tyler pressed his lips against Kelsey’s.“I’ll take your silence as your consent.” “Hang on!” Kelsey pushed him away. She meant business since it was about his sleepwalking last night. “I have a question.” “What is it?” Tyler asked in a raspy voice, his lips still lingering across her skin. His hands eagerly pulled her gown off her. “Do you sleepwalk?” Kelsey asked. Tyler paused, his eyes bearing a weight of emotions. Kelsey knew she was right on the money. Tyler had known about his sleepwalking. “Did you know you were sleepwalking last night?” Kelsey said while fixating earnestly on him. She was more concerned about his health. Tyler seemed healthy. Yet, he wandered off in a sleeping state. Judging by Tyler’s response, it was not his first rodeo. Generally speaking, sleepwalking was associated with trauma or unresolved issues. Kelsey suspected that Tyler had been through some kind of trauma, or something in his past wa

Tyler opened his eyes abruptly. Bare and dominant, he loomed above Kelsey while his penetrating gaze looked deep into her soul.Lost in the heat of his kiss, Kelsey opened her eyes in confusion at his sudden pause. She met his profound gaze. Kelsey’s heart skipped a beat. Her breath hitched. She stared at the man towering over her in disbelief, her eyes bulging. Tyler was awake. He examined her, his eyes scouring every inch of her body. Once he was certain that it was Kelsey, Tyler was relieved. “I’m home, babe,” he uttered with a sigh of relief. Feeling assured, he closed his eyes and rested his head on her shoulder. He filled his lungs with her familiar scent. Kelsey was taken aback, but her head gradually cleared. She thought that Tyler would not stop their little bed activity. However, Tyler stayed in the same position for a while. His steady breathing came soon after. He fell asleep. Kelsey was in disbelief. Since he wanted her so badly, Kelsey ass

Worried, Kelsey followed Tyler in case he hurt himself or fell off the stairs. He was not in a conscious state after all. Kelsey would not be so abrupt as to wake him from his sleepwalking. She was aware that waking a sleepwalker could lead to shock or other health problems.Kelsey stuck close behind Tyler and made sure he got up the stairs safely. Tyler returned to their bedroom and lay on the bed. Kelsey drew close for a look. The soft moonlight streamed through the French windows, casting a hazy glow over his defined face.Tyler lay there motionlessly, his eyes closed.Kelsey watched him sleep tenderly. For a moment, she drooled over him. However, she quickly frowned at the smell of alcohol on Tyler. Kelsey went to open the window to let in some airflow, dispersing the fumes of liquor. She then picked out a fresh pair of pajamas from the closet for Tyler.Tyler would need a change of briefs too. However, Kelsey’s cheeks burned when she pulled his brief draw

Kelsey returned to the villa she shared with Tyler. She intended to tell Tyler how her day with her best friend had gone. Charles was somehow caught in the crossfire. Yvonne’s mother-in-law accused her of having an affair with Charles which did a number to his reputation. Kelsey wanted to ask Tyler about his opinion on returning Charles’ favor. Since Charles was Tyler’s childhood friend, Tyler must know him best. However, Tyler had business plans to attend to, so he would not be home for dinner.Kelsey was alone in the upstairs bedroom, occupied with all related matters involving her new business venture. Since Kelsey and Rosette were going to audition to design costumes for Adrienne’s new film, Kelsey felt it was essential to study the genre of the new film and Adrienne’s past fashion choices. Time passed. By the time Kelsey shut her laptop, it was eleven at night. Rising to her feet, she stretched and walked out of the bedroom. Kelsey was on her way downstairs

“I’m sorry, Kelsey. I’m sorry to ruin lunch,” Yvonne murmured. Kelsey put her arm around her shoulder. “Why are you apologizing to me? Charles told me what he needed me for. It’s okay to skip lunch.” She paused and looked at Yvonne, her head tilted. “But Yvonne, you seem to have changed.” “How so?” Yvonne asked with a raised brow. “You’ve become composed and cunning now.” Kelsey said with admiration, “But it’s a good thing. I don’t want you to be Adam and his family’s doormat. You didn’t marry him to be his slave.” Yvonne curled her lips. “I’ve been through a lot, but I’ve learned a lot too. I had to learn from my mistakes.” She used to walk on eggshells around her husband and mother-in-law. She gave them too much leeway, and they walked all over her. In the future, Yvonne would not be so dumb as to let others hurt her again. She needed to stand up for herself. … Kelsey dropped Yvonne back home. Before, Yvonne would cry to Kelsey for hours after Agatha humiliated

“Didn’t you hear what Yvonne said? She’ll go ahead with the divorce. She doesn’t want to stick around until you take everything from her.” Kelsey snapped an angry look at Agatha. “Your son is the one with an affair. Don’t put this on Yvonne. Save your breath for your son. Yvonne is the victim. Who are you to accuse her?” Kelsey could not stand Agatha. Agatha placed herself above others and used Yvonne as a punching bag. Charles tipped the restaurant manager the wink. The restaurant manager led a security team to Agatha. “This is a public place, not your playground. Please leave now.” Agatha was humiliated to be thrown out of the premises. Instead of breaking down and apologizing, Yvonne calmly agreed to the divorce. Agatha did not see it coming. She needed to talk to her son. Clearly, Agatha had to find new ways to keep Yvonne in line. “Hmph! In that case, I should ask your parents if they know about their daughter filing for divorce,” Agatha said. In Agatha’s opi

Agatha’s son, Adam, was the one who had an affair. Yet, Agatha made Adam out to be the victim instead. Yvonne became the wicked woman who cheated on Adam. Kelsey racked her brain to think of ways to prove Yvonne’s innocence. Yvonne broke her silence.“Tell me. What are you trying to achieve?” Agatha’s big fuss was met with Yvonne’s nonchalant reply. For a moment, Agatha was in a daze. In the past, Agatha often berated Yvonne until the latter had no choice but to apologize. Agatha had always kept Yvonne in line through aggressive methods. Yet now, Yvonne asked her what she wanted to do. Instead of having a meltdown, Yvonne carried herself with ease. Agatha narrowed her eyes and said bitterly, “We pride ourselves on our decency. We can’t put up with your cheating. Just finalize the divorce and get out of my family. I don’t want to carry your shame.” She glared at Yvonne in disdain. “Fine.” Yvonne readily agreed. Yvonne understood that Agatha was a pro at throwi
