Kelsey was flustered by the sudden suggestion.Before she could get a word out, Tyler had already lowered himself toward her and planted a passionate kiss on her lips.“Ah…”Kelsey's face flushed with red. She had to crane her neck upward to receive his sudden kiss.They made out for several minutes until she was running out of breath. It was only then that Tyler smugly drew away to let her breathe.However, his large hands were still palming her waist tightly. He began to feel the thin fabric of the dress…“No, stop…” Kelsey was getting agitated and began to squirm in his arms.At the same time, she also felt a surge of desire.“Stop what?” Tyler raised a suggestive look at her and flashed his usual seductive smile to tease her.Kelsey felt like she was about to lose her mind. His manly aura was overpowering her.She pressed her fists against his chest and suggested. “We can… We can wait until we get back to the bedroom… Then you can…”It was not because she did not want to
Kelsey stared at him for a while before finally voicing something she had in mind, “Say… Did you just buy the EM brand for me?”It was a rather major gesture so she had to verify it directly with him.Tyler smiled radiantly. “Consider it a dowry!”Kelsey was dazed, it took her several seconds to register the information.“Huh?” Her almond-shaped eyes were widened.Tyler lowered himself toward her and kissed her softly on the lips. Something shone in his eyes.They got engaged so hastily that he barely had time to give her a proper gift for the engagement.Given the circumstances, it was the perfect occasion to make up for it. He gave her her favorite brand as a gift.Kelsey blushed like a ripe tomato when he kissed her.Then, she suddenly frowned.“I don't know how to run a business. What if I mess it up and it goes bankrupt…” She grew very concerned by this point.She did not want to risk ruining such a major brand.Tyler gently took her hand and assured her tenderly. “You
There were several pictures attached as evidence.The pictures were taken from a great angle. It perfectly captured Zara and Mia in their most unruly state while keeping Kelsey out of the frame.It did not take long for the post to go viral online.Especially considering the fact that Zara had always branded herself as being a sweet and innocent angel ever since her debut in the entertainment industry.The netizens were taken aback to see such an unruly side of her.Zara had even gone and insulted someone like Cecil who was a renowned designer in the industry, how uncivilized!With that, her image was shattered.Many fans were openly expressing dissatisfaction with her actions and some of them were even trying to take her down entirely. Meanwhile, there were just as many people who were in it to behold the magnificent disaster.To make things simple, Zara was in big trouble after the article came out.Kelsey could not be any more enthused.She did not expect Zara’s downfall t
With that, she tasked Talia to continue monitoring Megan.Meanwhile, she got changed as quickly as she could and rushed out of the house.She took a cab to the Youngs’ house and arrived just in time to see Megan driving out of the house.“Please follow the car in front! I don’t care what you do, just don’t lose it!” Kelsey hurriedly ordered the driver.“Alright, sit tight!” The driver obliged immediately and started tailing Megan’s car.Kelsey stared intently at Megan’s car right in front as if terrified she would lose sight of it the moment she looked away.“Hey lady, is the person inside that car your husband or your boyfriend?” The driver was very curious and tried to pry.Kelsey grinned. “It's my stepmother!”The driver made a face, it was clear he was not expecting such an answer.Soon, Megan would no longer be her stepmother.She had taken photo evidence of her sleeping with Dominic. There was no way Charlie would stand for her adultery.Megan drove in circles around t
Kelsey did not expect the security to be so strict.She could not possibly ask Megan to let her in, could she?How else was she supposed to get in otherwise?Just as she was worrying about her options, her phone suddenly rang.She reached for her phone, it was a video call from Tyler.With that, she answered, “Hey, dear.”Tyler's handsome profile was projected on her phone’s display immediately.“I’m home, where are you?”He made a point of getting home early today because he was hoping to give Kelsey a surprise.Only to find that Kelsey was nowhere to be seen upon reaching home.“I’m outside right now, there’s something I need to do,” Kelsey told him.“Outside? Where are you?” Tyler asked without skipping a beat.“Mister, what area is this?” Kelsey turned to the security guard who was stopping her from entering“This is Emperio Estate,” the security guard obliged and told her the name of the district.Tyler was taken aback. “What are you doing there?”“It's a long story
It was only after stepping into the district that Kelsey realized how luxurious the area was.The entire district was like a park.The entire place was not just filled with any ordinary fauna, but all sorts of imported plants and flowers from all over the world.Even though it was getting dark, the place was well-illuminated with beautiful streetlights.However, she knew she was not here to sightsee.She came to collect evidence of Megan cheating on her father.She needed the evidence to kick Megan out of the household.The problem was she had lost Megan just now, where could she be?The district was so big and there were countless villas all around, surely she could not go hunting in each villa.In that case, how was she to find Megan?While Kelsey was still clawing her head for an idea, she heard the roar of an engine.She turned around subconsciously and noticed a sports car coming toward her.It was a convertible. Thanks to the streetlights, she got a clear view of the
Unexpectedly, Cooper accelerated the car again and cut off her path.Then, he threw the door open and stepped out of the car, planting himself right in front of her.He exuded an oppressing aura while drawing closer.“What are you doing?” Kelsey became sharply alert.Cooper imposed himself upon her and suggested with a haughty smirk, “My place is just right over there, do you want to come over?”Kelsey shot down his offer without a thought. “No!”Cooper suddenly grabbed her arm. “You’re already here anyway, why not come by for a quick visit before leaving?”“I told you I didn’t want to, let me go!” Kelsey tried to squirm away.Cooper pulled her into his arms.He embraced her tightly, and a menacing glow soon shone in his eyes.“Kelsey, you were the one who came offering yourself up to me.” He was pressing himself so close that his lips grazed against her hair.Kelsey felt goosebumps rise across her body.Meeting Cooper here was the last thing she expected, she never thought
Tyler carried Kelsey into his car.However, he also noticed that Kelsey was still glancing at Cooper who was still standing behind them.His brows knitted into a tight frown.“Why, you don’t have the heart to leave him?” He noted with a hint of sarcasm.“No!” Kelsey pulled a face immediately. “I was just curious who that woman next to him is supposed to be.”As Tyler was carrying her away from the scene, she turned around and stole a look just in time to see Rhea approaching Cooper.The combination of it being nighttime and the distance made it so she could not make out Rhea’s expression.Regardless, she could tell that the person who showed up was someone who knew Cooper and cared about him.“Are you jealous?” Tyler's expression seemed to grow a tone darker. Even the look in his eyes turned gloomy.Kelsey quickly explained, “Of course not, why would you think that?”She was just surprised to see a woman she had never seen in her past life hanging around Cooper.The entire t
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. Before, Yvonne would cry to Kelsey for hours after Agatha humiliated
