Josephine claimed it was an accident, but the aggression was apparent in her eyes.

It was as if she was saying that she splashed wine on purpose, but there was nothing Kelsey could do about it.

“Smack!”

Kelsey slapped Josephine right in the face.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.”

“Kelsey, you!”

Josephine snapped an angry look at Kelsey in shock.

She did not expect Kelsey to hit her in public.

The nearby guests turned their attention to the sisters upon hearing the slapping sound.

Faced with judgy looks, Josephine felt embarrassed and ready to lunge at Kelsey in a fit of rage.

Before she could do anything, Megan’s shrilling voice came from behind.

“Kelsey, how dare you hit my daughter?”

Megan jumped right in front of Josephine protectively and questioned Kelsey.

Charlie, their father, came along too.

Having witnessed Kelsey slapping Josephine, Charlie and Megan were furious.

“Have you gone mad? Why did you hurt your sister?” Charlie criticized, feeling bad for J

    Kelsey smirked. Charlie would always side with Josephine in their disputes anyway.Kelsey was not her father’s favorite after all. Josephine started the fight. Yet, Charlie accused Kelsey of picking on Josephine without getting his facts right. Kelsey pulled a long face. “I have not upset Josephine. Your precious daughter can keep Cooper company since I did not sleep with him.” Charlie was trying to befriend the Lyons now that Braun started giving Cooper attention.However, Cooper was just a lovechild, so Kelsey, the horrible daughter, should test the waters. “You!” Charlie grimaced as Kelsey exposed Josephine’s relationship with Cooper in public. “Look at her, Charlie. She’s slandering Josephine.” Megan looked hurt.Megan panicked as members of high society chattered among themselves.To improve Josephine’s future husband prospects, Megan had to deny that Josephine had a thing with Cooper. “Do you hate Josephine so much that you make up a story about her, Kels? Aren’

    “What are you doing? Let me go!” Josephine cried in a panic. Megan dropped the attitude the moment Tyler showed up.She looked at Charlie pleadingly. “Charlie…” Charlie bit the bullet and forced a smile at Tyler. “We can work this out, Mr Lang.” Tyler’s facial lines tensed. “There’s nothing to talk about. No one can hurt my woman.” He spoke in a husky voice, and that was the end of the matter.The crowd gasped, startled by the savage look on Tyler’s face.Those words were not just directed at Josephine but at Charlie too. Kelsey may be Charlie’s daughter, but he had no right to hurt her again. “Your woman?” Charlie asked in disbelief, his lips quivering. “Kels and I are married.” Tyler held Kelsey tight to state his possession.Charlie was stunned. Megan, standing next to him, made a face.Dumbfounded, Josephine was dragged out of the residence without a struggle. Kelsey stood there and watched Josephine’s unsavory exit. Rather than looking angry and startled,

    Tyler was stunned.Kelsey hugged Tyler’s neck and puckered up for him. Though taken aback at first, Tyler quickly locked tongues with her. Tyler’s skillful maneuver only invited Kelsey to respond in kind.They were so lost in the kiss. The crowd was envious. As the smooch made the crowd uncomfortable, they quickly moved away. By the time Kelsey and Tyler were done, the crowd was back to rubbing shoulders. The earlier ruckus finally came to an end. The only thing imprinted in everybody’s minds was Tyler and Kelsey’s hot kiss. No one paid attention to Josephine’s ban from the party. Tyler kissed Kelsey in public twice. Kelsey’s cheeks were hot, and her heart raced. Tyler was no better off. Playing it cool, Tyler picked up a glass from a passing server’s tray and took a sip. Kelsey caught her breath and praised, “You’re good, honey.” Tyler turned red in the face. He cleared his throat and acted composed. “Thank you. You’ve improved too.”Kelsey felt embarr

    Since Cooper wanted to reintroduce himself, Kelsey would play along too.“Hello, I’m Kelsey.” Her voice was icy. She would not even look at Cooper. She made her way to the hall. Kelsey did not respect Cooper enough to shake his hand. Cooper knew that she was going back to Tyler. He gave chase right away. “Now that we are reacquainted, why don’t I buy you a drink, Kelsey?” Cooper’s eagerness and sincerity made it seem like he was serious about getting back together. However, Kelsey knew that he was a hypocrite. “Why should I drink with you?” she asked with a sneer. “It’s my birthday today. Can’t you do it for me?” Cooper made up an excuse. Kelsey cocked her head back as if it just struck her that it was Cooper’s birthday. “Oh, that’s right. It’s your birthday today. Sorry, I forgot. I didn’t get you a gift. Tyler only brought me along since Braun gave an invite.” Cooper’s smiling face scowled. Kelsey’s words broke him. She forgot it was his birthday, did not g

    Kelsey smirked. It was not up to Cooper alone whether they would stay together or break up.Kelsey was about to refute when Cooper’s phone rang. He grabbed his phone for a look. The call was from Josephine. Josephine seemed to always get in his way. She had the nerve to give him a call. Cooper rejected the call and looked up to meet Kelsey’s gaze. He put on a happy face and explained, “The call was from someone irrelevant. Don’t worry about it and get back to drinking.” Cooper put away his phone and poured Kelsey a glass of wine.Did Cooper just call Josephine irrelevant?Since Tyler got Josephine kicked out, Josephine must be calling Cooper for help. Though Kelsey saw through Cooper, she did not call him out on it. Cooper’s phone rang again right after he poured her a drink.“You’re a busy man.” Kelsey taunted. Cooper rejected the call again, feeling embarrassed.“Nothing matters more than having a drink with you.” He grinned ingratiatingly. Kelsey held him

    “So what if I’ve gone mad? You slept with my sister behind my back. It’s only fair that I pay back with a glass of red.” Kelsey looked askance at Cooper. “Still, you want me to give you another chance. I’m sorry, but I don’t take back trash.” She stressed on the word “trash”.Chatter filled the room. Even the rich love engaging in a little gossip. The mishap between Kelsey and Josephine earlier was fresh in everybody’s mind. The sister fell out because Josephine slept with her older sister’s man. The man could possibly be Cooper. “I can’t believe Cooper can’t keep his hands to himself.” “That explains his upbringing. His poor old man threw him a birthday party for nothing.” “If I were Kelsey, I wouldn’t just be dumping wine on him. I would be holding a knife.” Cooper turned ashen. He looked at Kelsey grimly. A sinister presence approached Kelsey. Cooper inched closer to Kelsey. Rage consumed him. Kelsey felt a grip around her waist. Tyler showed up onc

    On the way home, Kelsey nestled in Tyler’s arms. She put her arms around his waist. Tyler clutched her chin, his eyes locked onto hers. “Were you drinking with Cooper just now?” Kelsey paused for several seconds before refuting, “I was just trying to teach him a lesson.” She did not want to pay Cooper any attention, but he kept clinging to her, asking for forgiveness. It took a good wine soak to drive Cooper away. “Are you done with straightening him out?” Tyler narrowed his eyes offhandedly. “No. It would take more than beating him up for me to get over it.” Kelsey pouted. Her feud with Cooper went more than a glass of red wine. Cooper took hers and Tyler’s lives in the previous life. Kelsey was back for vengeance. “Do you hate him that much?” Tyler’s eyes deepened. Kelsey gritted her teeth. “I can’t say that I hate him. I just don’t want the vile man to have it easy.” Vile man? Kelsey’s description of Cooper dispelled Tyler’s jealousy. He reached out to

    Previously, she asked him to task someone to keep an eye on James.Kelsey cocked an eyebrow and replied, “I’m worried something is going to happen to him because of Cooper, and that will give Cooper the chance to raise his status in the family.”Tyler narrowed the look in his eyes. “So your goal is just to stop Cooper from having his way?”Kelsey smiled grimly. “What else? You don’t think that I was interested in James, did you?”Something stirred in Tyler’s eyes and his voice suddenly dropped to a deep, grumbling bellow. “Are you interested in another man?”Kelsey stared at him blankly for several seconds.Then, she burst out laughing. “Oh, you look so cute when you are jealous!"Tyler fell speechless, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.He would not deny that he was jealous.However, he did not intend to bicker with her about this either.Instead, he sat still as if he had turned into a statue.Kelsey continued to snuggle in his arms and stopped teasing him.F

    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.
