Tyler wrapped his arms around Kelsey’s waist from behind.“Your stepmother sure is a foxy one!” he leaned into Kelsey’s ears and whispered.Dominic was a very handsome male model.He had plenty of affairs with all sorts of women both inside and outside of the entertainment industry.Furthermore, he was more than a dozen years younger than Megan.Alas, Megan managed to sink her claws into him. The two of them had been keeping up their scandalous relationship in their hideout for quite some time now.Megan for her part was a rather successful cougar as well.“Shh, keep your voice down!” Kelsey turned around frantically and made a gesture at Tyler.Tyler smirked coyly. “Don't worry, they are having too much fun to hear us at all.”That may be so, but Kelsey was still very concerned about Megan discovering that she had been spying on them. She did not want all her efforts to go in vain.“Let's head back inside first.” She was too worried and tried to lead Tyler back into the hous
They were supposed to be on a secret date, but now they were openly doing it on the balcony.It seemed like they were hardly concerned about having their pictures taken.If that was the case, Kelsey was more than glad to take their pictures!After snapping back to her senses, she reached for the phone in her pocket.Suddenly, Megan yelped like a banshee and spooked Kelsey.Kelsey loosened her grip around the phone and dropped it to the floor.“What was that?”Megan snapped around and looked at the adjacent balcony.Kelsey was so terrified of being caught that she held her breath entirely, she was wary of even moving a muscle.She hardly even took a single picture yet.If Megan caught her, it would be all over!She would be far more guarded in the future, which was going to make it much harder for Kelsey to obtain any evidence of Megan cheating on her father.“Who's there?”Megan cried out into the darkness.Kelsey held her breath and remained as still as possible.Then,
They were basked underneath the moonlight.Kelsey gazed at his handsome profile, they were inches apart.She could feel her heart leaping out of her chest!“Are you okay?” Tyler stared at her intently and asked softly.Her eyelashes trembled while she blinked sporadically and let out a yelp. “I’m fine!”Then, she shoved her hands against his chest to push him away.She had something important to do!All she managed was to create some distance above his waist. Meanwhile, he kept his legs pinned tightly around her thighs so she could not squirm away from him.She was afraid of losing her balance and falling again.Her cheeks were burning at this point.She tried to beg him to let her go.Meanwhile, Megan and Dominic sounded like they were about to finish up at their side of the balcony.Kelsey knew there was no time to protest. She angled her phone at them and briskly snapped several pictures in one go.Since it was nighttime, the lighting was subpar at best.Furthermore, s
Megan was in a very good mood after Dominic showered her with compliments.“You sure are a sweet talker!”“I’m not sweet-talking, I’m just telling the truth.” Dominic embraced her affectionately and seized the chance to raise his concern. “Say, when are you going to dump that old man so we can officially be together?”“Let's worry about it in the future. As things stand, it’s hard for us to be official yet.” Megan brushed him off, she was exhausted.Besides, she was not a fool.Dominic was young and handsome. He may be thrilled with getting to spend time with an older woman for now, but what were the odds that he was going to stick around for the long haul?“It’s not difficult at all, I can just marry you!” Dominic immediately gave her the assurance Megan needed.“What did you say?” She was in disbelief.Dominic stared sincerely into her eyes and insisted. “I said I'll marry you! That way, we can finally be together officially, right?”Megan was completely taken aback and bubb
“Quit being a pervert!”Kelsey quickly pulled her hand away and cried out exasperatedly.Tyler regarded her with a piercing look.He did not speak.The devilish smile he wore conveyed everything that he needed to say.The two stared at each other for a long time.The temperature in the air surged again.Kelsey gulped subconsciously and tried to exit the scene.However, she could not leave now even if she wanted to.Since she could not risk being caught by Megan and Dominic, she had no choice but to be locked inside Tyler’s embrace for the moment.Tyler kept gazing at her intently by borrowing the sparse glow of the moonlight.When he noticed the way Kelsey licked her red, luscious lips to wet them, he took a deep breath.It set something primal inside him.He could no longer control himself at this point and devoured her lips.Kelsey could feel herself stiffening. She could feel him assaulting her lips with fervent hunger, he was completely relentless.For a few seconds,
Kelsey did a double take before smiling sheepishly. “With you of course, my dear husband!”She hugged him and nuzzled her head against his chest.Tyler smiled adoringly. He looked more handsome than ever whenever he smiled.He looked down and stared at the girl wrapped in his arms. Soon, another shade surfaced in his eyes.“If you don’t stop doing that, don’t be surprised by what comes next!”His voice was already turning slightly hoarse when he spoke.Kelsey stopped short for a second. It was only then when she realized that his heartbeat was accelerating, his temperature was on the rise as well.She blushed and mindfully pulled herself away from him.“I’m going to wash up!” She scrambled for an excuse so she could get away from him.Men were at their most dangerous in the morning.That was close, she nearly started something just now.After she stepped out of the bathroom, Tyler was nowhere to be seen.She wagered that he must have gone downstairs for breakfast. With that
Give it a rest!Kelsey was very upset and hung up again.“Why does this person keep harassing you?” Tyler asked with a deep-set look in his eyes.He had been holding Kelsey in his arms the entire time and managed to catch a glimpse of her phone display. He realized it was the same number calling her.“Who knows? Probably some annoying salesman…”Kelsey cringed and came up with a brisk explanation.She turned off the phone after that.She was afraid of letting Tyler know that the person harassing her had been Cooper.It took so much to convince Tyler that he was the one she had feelings for. She did not want to risk having him find out that Cooper was still trying to contact her and ruin things with Tyler again.However, even she could not deny she was beginning to get irritated after Cooper’s insistent calls.She picked up a glass of milk and drank it to suppress her anger.After she finished the glass, she instinctively licked the milk stain on the corner of her lip.Littl
Tyler did not know that Kelsey’s mother had been transferred to another hospital.Her mother still needed a lot of money for her medical expenses.After Kelsey’s recent fallout with her father and Cooper, she decided to shoulder the hefty medical expenses by herself to not trouble anyone with it.This included Tyler!She vowed that in this present life, she was going to rely on herself to protect the people she cared for.After sending Kelsey home, Tyler returned to Lang Group Headquarters to work.Kelsey turned on her phone again and investigated the picture of Megan that she had taken last night.She made sure to create an encrypted album on her phone and saved the pictures in it.Furthermore, she purchased a printer online.She was going to print the pictures and have them sent anonymously to Charlie to alert him.After careful consideration, Kelsey decided it was best to send it to him anonymously. He was more likely to believe the pictures that way.After all, her relat
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
