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

    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.

    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.

    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

    Yvonne heaved a sigh of relief.“That's right! Come on, eat something first, then we’ll go shopping together!” She tried to distract Kelsey.Kelsey kept her head down and ate silently. She vowed to herself that she was going to get to the bottom of this no matter what.After they ate, Yvonne took her to a nearby shopping mall to shop.Kelsey was enamored with one of the dresses in a boutique store they passed by.“Let's go inside and take a look!” Yvonne led her inside.The clerk went up to attend to them. “Hello, how may I help you?”“My friend here would like to try on the dress over there.” Yvonne gestured at the dress Kelsey was interested in.The clerk briefly sized them up before removing the dress from the mannequin and handing it to Kelsey.“Miss, you have great tastes! The new arrivals in our store this season are all designed by Cecil, an internationally renowned designer. These are all limited edition.”Cecil?Kelsey was taken aback.Cecil was a renowned designer

    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

    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.
