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
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
Yvonne felt like she was about to explode with rage upon hearing this.How dare they publicly humiliate them for being poor?Such an act could not be tolerated!She was this close to running up to them to argue with them, but Kelsey stopped her.Kelsey did not seem upset. Instead, she remarked with a smug grin, “Were you talking about the markets two streets down? How do you know they sell counterfeit branded products though? Is it because you shop there often? That sure explains why you are fitted out in counterfeit brands!”Everyone in the store immediately turned to stare at Mia upon hearing this.They would not have thought to inspect what she was wearing if it was not for Kelsey blatantly pointing it out.Upon closer inspection, they realized that most of what Mia was wearing were not genuine branded products.Yvonne rolled her eyes and mocked her. “Imagine insulting us when you’re the one who buys counterfeit branded products!”“You...you…” Mia had no way to retort and s
Kelsey watched silently as Mia trotted around the store, picking out dresses to her heart’s content.Then, she turned to the clerk with a beaming smile. “Go on and scan all of these and bring the invoice to Ms. Quest! Thanks to her generosity, you don’t have to worry about your sales target this month anymore!”The store manager immediately sprang to action and ordered the clerks to bag everything and get started on tallying up the total purchase.Soon, the store manager returned with an absurdly long invoice and brought it to Zara. “Ms. Zara, the total comes down to forty-five million dollars, I assume you will be paying with a card?”Zara was baffled.For a second, she doubted her hearing. "How much did you just say they cost?”The store manager smiled politely and repeated. “Ms. Quest, it’s forty-five million dollars for everything.”Zara frowned and immediately blurted out, “Why do they cost several million dollars?”Were they ripping her off because they knew she was a cel
There was no way she was going to get a reimbursement for a dress that cost forty million dollars.Zara was not impressed by the statement and glared at the assistant. “Keep your mouth shut!”The assistant was upset but simply lowered her eyes and stayed silent.All she wanted to do was remind Zara about the terms.“Quit yapping already, are you buying it or not?” Kelsey asked impatiently.Zara clenched her jaw tightly.She would not suffer being humiliated by Kelsey because of a dress.“I am Zara Quest! There is nothing I want that I cannot have!”She threw off her sunglasses at this point and shot a taunting look at Kelsey.The dress was not the only thing she wanted, she wanted Tyler as well.Then, she marched forward and tried to snatch the dress from Kelsey.Kelsey released her grip and allowed the dress to fall to the ground.“If you want it that much, go ahead and pick it up yourself!”There was an unmistakable mark of sarcasm in her voice.Zara turned pale with ho
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
