Zara was dressed like Kelsey tonight.Tyler was drunk and his vision was blurry.He fixed a look on Zara and assumed she was Kelsey.“Why are you here?” he rubbed a finger against his temple and asked in a sore voice.He still remembered Kelsey falling asleep back home and calling Cooper’s name in the middle of her sleep.“Tyler, I'm here for you…” Zara drew forward toward him and deliberately pulled down her dress, exposing her clear-white skin to seduce him.All men think with the brain down there.Tyler must be under the impression that she was Kelsey.Since she was directly offering herself up to him, there was no way he would resist her.She only needed to sleep with Tyler just once. That was all she needed. After this, she would have all the ammo she needed to create a controversy and make him break up with Kelsey.If she managed to get herself pregnant with his child, he would have no choice but to marry her.“Are you okay? Do you want me to help you?” She drawled sof
Was he so completely obsessed with Kelsey already?Even if Kelsey did not want him, he would still crave for her!If that was the case, what did that make Zara?She was on the verge of tears at this point.Still, she refused to give in.She would not accept losing to Kelsey on such terms.Soon, Tyler closed his eyes and passed out from drunkenness again.She clenched her teeth and decided to commit to her next move. She left an imprint of her lipstick on the corner of his shirt.A devilish look flashed across her eyes.If she could not have this man, Kelsey would not either.…Kelsey woke up from her nightmare.After gazing at the intricate and beautiful crystal chandelier hanging above her, she realized she was in Tyler’s place.It was all just a nightmare.She dreamt about her unfortunate past when she was being tormented and slighted by Cooper.She touched her cheeks, it was cold.Then, she slowly sat up from the couch.Even though they were memories from her previo
Kelsey knew she needed to have mental fortitude. She could not deem him guilty just because of a picture.She would not fall into Zara's trap.Still, she could not help but feel skeptical because Tyler was not home yet at such a late hour.She called him a few more times but he never picked up.At this point, she was getting increasingly uneasy.It was already very late but she was still not sleepy.From time to time, she would think about the intimate picture of Tyler and Zara she had just received.Could they be together right now?The possibility distressed her more than anything else in the world.What if Tyler regretted getting engaged with her?Did he end up deciding to join houses with the Quests after all? Was he going to take Zara instead?After all, the Langs and the Quests were both dignified households with great status.If Tyler married Zara, they would make a terrific couple.Kelsey believed that she was only deadweight for Tyler…A dark look surfaced in her
Kelsey’s eyes were swollen.It looked like she cried herself to sleep last night.She must have cried for a while.Did she have a nightmare?Tyler’s heart ached for her.“Don’t marry Zara, don’t…”Kelsey suddenly grabbed his arm and begged frantically.His eyes darkened.Then, he reached forward and gently caressed her hair.“Silly, I’m already engaged to you, how can I marry someone else?”“Don't leave me!”Upon hearing his familiar voice, Kelsey hugged him tightly in her sleep.Tyler was taken aback.Last night, he was sure she had been calling Cooper's name in her sleep.Now, here she was again, begging him to not leave her.“Who are you asking to not leave you?” He asked doubtfully, “Cooper?”Although she was still drowned in sleep, Kelsey frowned instinctively upon hearing Cooper's name.“Cooper is a jerk, he’s scum!”She suddenly grew very emotional and began to tremble. “He abused me and hurt you, he was the one who killed us…”The look in Tyler’s eyes sank. H
Kelsey woke up and found herself lying on top of Tyler.They were lying in a rather suggestive position.Her entire body was pressed against his with her hands straddled around his shoulders. Her legs were curled around the region by his lower abdomen.Their faces were only inches away from each other’s. Her forehead rested against his forehead in a position that allowed their noses to gently graze against each other’s.She could see her reflection in the dark of his eyes.The straps of the nightgown she was wearing had slipped off in the middle of the night and revealed the deep contours of her cleavage. Several loose wispy strings of hair scattered against her shoulder that was bright white like snow.The display she had put on was very seductive.She was taken aback by the position she found herself in.Tyler, who was pinned under her weight, must have thought that she wanted to do him.He lay silently under her without the slightest bit of movement and stared into her eyes
“Sorry, I had too much to drink last night and must have missed it.” Tyler apologized.Kelsey pursed her lips tightly and did not respond.Tyler took this to mean that she was upset. He embraced her and promised. “This won’t happen again.”Kelsey blinked for a moment and shoved him into the bed. “Tell me... How do you want me to punish you?”Tyler's eyes suddenly darkened faintly, and his voice grew seductive. “How do you want to punish me?”Kelsey sat on top of him and allowed a cunning smile to form on her lips.“You will have to fulfill your duties as a husband!” she stated with a mischievous smirk.Tyler's heart skipped a beat.He could feel his temperature rising.“Kels…”“What, are you not going to do it?” Kelsey cast an intent look on him. “Since you made a mistake, you have to be punished!”As she said this, she began to feel his body.Tyler drew a deep breath.“Stop it, Kels!”A heavy look descended upon his eyes. Even the pace of his breath grew frantic.He was
Tyler had always prided himself on having self-control but now, he had completely crumbled.He wanted Kelsey!He could not wait even a second longer!“What did you say just now?” he asked with a burning look in his eyes.Kelsey grinned. “I said I wanted you!”Her voice came out like a gentle song.There was a storm raging inside Tyler’s eyes, he had completely lost control of his senses.Soon, a mix of heavy breathing and moaning could be heard coming from the bedroom.The temperature in the room soared, it was burning!...The next day. Kelsey woke up feeling sore all over.She opened her eyes and as usual, found herself in Tyler's bedroom.The air seemed to still contain a faint, seductive quality.When she sat up, she could feel her body aching with soreness.She was the only one in bed. Tyler was nowhere to be seen.She figured he must have gotten up and went to work already.When she thought about what they had gotten up to yesterday, her cheeks flushed red again.
Yvonne quickly grabbed the laptop she had bought with her and downloaded the picture. Then, she used an analytical software to inspect the picture.What she found had surprised her.“Yvonne, what does it say?”Upon noticing Yvonne falling into a pensive silence, Kelsey could not help but grow agitated.Yvonne seemed flustered.“Kels, do you want to eat something first?” She suggested.She was worried that Kelsey would not have any appetite to eat anymore after she discovered the truth.Kelsey was not in the mood to eat anything now.“I don’t feel like eating. Hurry up and tell me already, is the photo edited?” She frantically grabbed Yvonne and demanded an answer.Yvonne sighed and shook her head. “It wasn’t.”“What?” Kelsey was petrified.She yelped in astonishment.How could this be?Was this photo not edited?Was Tyler with Zara that night?“Are you sure?” She pressed again for an answer.A troubled look surfaced in Yvonne’s eyes. “Yes.”Kelsey's eyes were immediate
Seeing how much thought Tyler put into her birthday, Susan felt confident that Kelsey was in good hands. Kelsey was lucky to marry a man like Tyler. The family was blessed to have Tyler. “All that matters is that you’re happy.” Tyler tended to Susan’s needs with respect. “I haven’t been this happy in a long time.” Susan nodded with a delightful smile. Kelsey could tell that Susan was a lot happier today. Susan had been feeling hurt since Charlie sent her to live in a nursing home. She felt like Charlie prioritized his side piece over his mother. It had been a while since Susan smiled again.The smile on Susan’s face was infectious. Kelsey’s face beamed. Tyler smiled along too. The lounge was filled with laughter and joy. After lunch, Tyler drove Kelsey and Susan to the nursing home. Susan, being elderly, fell asleep in the car. Tyler carried Susan back to her room in the nursing home. Kelsey could see how much Tyler cared about Susan. Tyler had to leave d
“Please… Save my baby…” With Steve walking away, Megan pinned her hope on the restaurant staff. The restaurant manager and staff had witnessed Megan insulting Tyler and Kelsey. They would not risk upsetting Tyler by helping her. The restaurant staff looked the other way and went back to their own business. Megan held her belly as resentment consumed her. Tyler’s support was the only thing helping Kelsey to take Megan down. Otherwise, Megan would still be living her life. First, Charlie threw her out. Even Steve left her. Steven beat her up, causing her to lose her baby. Megan blamed everything on Kelsey. She would make Kelsey pay. Megan vowed to get her revenge. Losing her willpower to the pain, Megan lost consciousness. It was a kind female patron who called the emergency line for Megan. …Kelsey helped Susan into the lounge on the top floor. The place was definitely remarkable. The interior was lavishly appointed, with each piece of furniture carefully
Steve mounted Megan and punched her face left and right. Megan would hurl abuse at him at first, but her tirade quickly turned into pleading. Steve smacked Megan over two dozen times, only stopping when Megan lay limp on the floor. He turned to Tyler, his grimacing face replaced with ingratiation. “I have taught the bitch a lesson, Mr. Lang.” Stoic-faced, Tyler did not spare a glance at Steve. Steve was irrelevant to Tyler. Tyler took strides to Kelsey and grabbed her hands. He murmured in her ear, “Do you feel better now?” Kelsey looked back at Megan’s swollen face and curled her lips. “She’s not worth my time anyway.” The constant struggles with Charlie and Megan over the years had hardened Kelsey emotionally.Megan’s verbal abuse was like water off a duck’s back. Besides, Charlie had kicked Megan out of the house. Megan’s words were nothing more than a desperate cry now. Steve was no better than Charlie, and Megan had it coming. Despite his age, Steve went
Megan widened her eyes in disbelief at Steve. “D-Did you just hit me?” The last thing Megan expected was Steve to attack her. She thought she had compromised enough by dating a man so much older.Steve had been spoiling her rotten lately, giving her everything she wanted. Megan had gotten a big head. She thought she had Steve in the bag. Yet, to her dismay, Steve assaulted her. “Bitch!” Steve made a face of disgust. “Why did you slander Ms. Young?” In Steve’s opinion, Megan was more trouble than she was worth. Steve had gone to great lengths to curry favor with Tyler. Megan had gone and insulted Tyler’s woman right in his face. To make matters worse, Steve was caught up in the mess too. Steve regretted spoiling Megan, and she had gone in over her head. Megan’s eyes welled up. “Steve…” Her lips quivered as she looked at Steve with a hurt expression. Paying her no mind, Steve was occupied with ideas to please Tyler. “She’s just an escort to me, Mr. La
Steve felt embarrassed. He had been wanting to make Tyler’s acquaintance, but a chance to meet him was hard to come by. Now that he ran into Tyler, Steve was determined to make the most out of it. “Let me be a host to you today, Mr. Lang—” Megan cut Steve off. “Mr. Lang, you might not know this, but Kelsey’s father is facing bankruptcy. He’s deep in debt too. Kelsey and her father are just going to be your burden. Don’t let Kelsey’s seemingly innocence fool you. They are just going to leech off you. My daughter, Josephine, is a nice and sensible girl. She’s a better companion than Kelsey. I’ll be delighted to introduce you to her.” Kelsey was impressed with Megan. Even now, Megan had not given up on pushing Josephine into Tyler’s arms. In Kelsey’s past life, Megan went to lengths to matchmake Josephine and Tyler. Nevertheless, Tyler never took an interest in Josephine. Megan was just as delusional as ever. However, Kelsey had no idea that Charlie owed a lot of mon
“She’s just a bitch.” Megan hissed through clenched teeth, her jealousy showing. She had a hunch. The sudden change in the manager’s attitude toward Kelsey was likely due to Tyler. Megan wished she had Kelsey’s luck to meet a good-looking and rich man. Steve did not believe Megan. If Kelsey was just an ordinary woman, the manager would not take her up to the exclusive top floor. That was a height Steve could never reach despite a lifetime of hard work. However, Kelsey had no plans to accept the manager’s invitation to dine on the top floor. Since Charlie would not be attending or taking Susan out of the nursing home, Kelsey had no reason to dine alone on the top floor. Kelsey was better off getting back to her new office and ordering a takeout. Her discussion with Rosette about the costume design for Adrienne’s new film would continue this afternoon.However, the manager stopped her from leaving and apologized to her frantically. “Please see it in your heart not to
It was upsetting enough for Kelsey since Charlie managed to deceive her once more. However, Megan had to gloat. “What did I tell you? I told you Charlie can’t afford this place. He can’t even show his face because he’s expected to pay the bill.” “Oh, quit it!” Kelsey glared at Megan. To think Kelsey would give her an attitude. Megan had Steve on her side now. She was no longer the other woman who lived off Charlie’s good graces. Surely, Megan earned the right to mock Charlie. “You’re the manager. Has St. Gills lost its exclusivity? It’s a disgrace that you let just about anyone in,” Megan said sarcastically. Kelsey retaliated. “Oh, aren’t you a picture of poise, Megan? With your sugar daddy, you can’t even make it past security.” “You!” Megan looked daggers at Kelsey. Livid, Megan commanded the manager, “Throw the bitch out now before I’ll make sure your establishment ceases to operate.” The manager narrowed his eyes on Kelsey and Megan. Judging by Kelsey’s mod
“Kelsey, what are you doing here?” Megan asked harshly.With Megan and Steve approaching, the manager drew close and welcomed them. It then dawned on Kelsey that Megan and Steve were the VIPs who took the private lounge from Charlie. The manager explained the situation, and Megan sneered. “Charlie is going broke. I doubt he can afford to dine at St. Gill’s. With his mounting debts, he’s embarrassing himself when the time comes to pay the bill.” Kelsey narrowed her eyes. Charlie must be using Susan’s birthday as a pretext to ask for more money from Tyler since the family business was going bust. However, Tyler had given Charlie a large sum of money. It was puzzling how Charlie managed to burn through it. Kelsey snapped back with a smirk. “Even so, Charlie is paying with his own money, unlike some people who can’t live a day without a sugar daddy.” Color drained from Megan’s face. Kelsey was basically calling her a gold digger. Megan would not be in this position in th
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
