The morning sun spilled through the window and into the luxurious house.Clothes were scattered all across the floor, from the entrance up to the stairs.There was an array of men's shirts, ties, trousers, a dress, and underwear…Kelsey woke up and found herself in a heated embrace.Her bones were sore, it felt as if she had been crushed by something all night.She struggled even to pry her heavy eyelids open. Then, she realized it was Tyler who had his arms wrapped tightly around her.They were practically skin-to-skin.The moment she made the slightest movement, Tyler tightened his embrace in his sleep.She nearly had the breath choked out of her.“Tyler, easy!” She immediately turned to him and yelped in a raspy voice.Tyler finally came to upon hearing her voice.His eyes remained closed the entire time. He took a deep breath to take in her natural scent as if he wanted to catch one last whiff of the sultry scent of their lovemaking last night. He wanted to take it deep
After breakfast, they went upstairs to pack up.Tyler's grandmother had already been discharged from the hospital and was now living in the family house in the neighboring city.They were going to take the Langs’ private plane to visit her.Kelsey had already changed into a large windbreaker, dyed an elegant lavender, and paired it with an expensive tailored shirt along with a white skirt. Finally, she finished the look with a pair of black leather boots.It was a youthful look that gave off a vibrant impression.She was just about to turn back into the dresser to look for a matching bag to pair with her outfit when her phone on the bedside table rang.“Honey, bring the phone inside for me please!”She called out for Tyler who was outside the dresser.Tyler had changed into an expensive piece of suit and was sitting on the couch in the bedroom waiting for Kelsey to finish dressing up. Upon hearing the phone ring, he immediately located it on the bedside table.He picked it up
“It’s your sister Josephine. She’s gone missing!”Charlie's face was wrought with anxiety. He had been worried sick.Meanwhile, his lover and mistress Megan was crying inside his arms and seemed completely distraught too.“Charlie, you have to find Josephine as soon as you can! She is a girl, who knows what kind of trouble she’s got into?”Megan was worried sick about Josephine and pleaded with Charlie with tears in her eyes.Charlie tenderly wiped the tears from her cheeks. His heart ached for her while he consoled her gently, “Don't worry, I have sent my men to look for her. One way or another, we will find our daughter!”Kelsey could not help but roll her eyes upon observing the scene.If she had known that the so-called situation that unraveled back home concerned the disappearance of Josephine, she would never have bothered to rush back home at all.Her original plan was to accompany Tyler to visit his grandmother back at their ancestral family home.Certainly, she did no
It seemed like Charlie had never considered that Kelsey and her mother were his legitimate wife and daughter.He had never considered how much he would hurt their feelings by having a mistress and even having a daughter born out of wedlock.After Kelsey’s mother got into the accident, not only had Charlie completely forgone the treatment, but he even seized the chance to take his mistress and illegitimate daughter under his roof. When they usurped Kelsey’s position, all he did was feign obliviousness and allow it to happen. He was as cruel as they came.Why was it that her father never took her side and chose to see her as the enemy?Had he never felt any kind of guilt toward her and her mother?“Kelsey, tell me the truth! Did you have something to do with Josephine's disappearance?”Sure enough, Charlie began to harbor suspicions toward Kelsey after listening to Megan’s ranting.He immediately turned around and accused Kelsey sharply.“No!” Kelsey denied it without hesitation.
Upon noting Charlie’s hesitation, Megan immediately began to dial up her antics.“Kelsey, your father and I are very happy that you managed to marry Mr. Lang. Still, do you think it is fair for you to pick on us just because you managed to marry into a powerful family?”That other night when Charlie found out about Kelsey marrying Tyler, his entire demeanor took on a drastic transformation.Upon finding out about their marriage, he no longer tried to persecute the related parties for kicking Josephine out of the party.Megan was not going to let Kelsey interfere with her plans just because Kelsey managed to siphon power from the Langs.She had to come up with something to turn Kelsey’s advantage against her. Something had to be done to incite Charlie.Sure enough, Charlie seemed to have ‘snapped to his senses’ upon hearing Megan’s pointed remarks.It gave him a boost of confidence to confront Kelsey.“She’s right, don’t you start looking down on your father of all people just b
Kelsey asked suspiciously, “When did Josephine disappear?”Megan declared sharply, “Last night after she got kicked out of the party thanks to your husband’s men, she was never seen again. We couldn't contact her through her phone and tried looking for her all night but still couldn't find her. She just went missing like that!”Kelsey asked with a clear glow in her eyes, “If she disappeared last night, that means it’s already been half a day since she was last seen. If she was kidnapped, don’t you think that the kidnappers would have called to ask for a ransom by this point?”“This…” Megan darted her eyes around rapidly while thinking of a response. “Maybe they wanted to wait a little later before contacting us!”Kelsey shot her an icy look. “What if she was not kidnapped at all? Maybe she just got lost somehow or got into an accident. Either way, the sooner we call the police, the sooner we can find her and ensure her safety, don’t you think so?”“But…” Megan's expression stiffen
The look in Kelsey's eyes dimmed faintly, then she retorted, “It sounds more like you’re the one who looks down on my father and the Youngs!”Megan was not expecting to be exposed so quickly. She started to falter from guilt and cried out defensively, “What did you say?”She continued to wear the same aggrieved expression as if Kelsey was the one who had wronged her.Kelsey composed herself and stated with fixed composure, “He is my father, we share the same blood. My husband wouldn’t even marry me if he looked down on my father, don’t you think so?”Charlie’s expression seemed to have softened slightly upon hearing the point she raised.Kelsey then sharply changed the subject and turned it against Megan. “But it’s different in your case, Aunt Megan. You are younger than my father and you’re pretty, God knows if you have been secretly disdaining my dad for being too old and not deserving someone like you. Who knows if you have been messing around with some younger, more good-looki
Megan had been feeling very upset since Josephine was kicked out of the party by Tyler's men last night.She never imagined that someone like Kelsey would somehow luck out and marry someone wealthy like Tyler.The thought that Kelsey had borrowed Tyler’s influence to kick Josephine out of the party greatly infuriated Megan. She decided she would not stand for it!What was especially insulting was the fact that Charlie's attitude toward Kelsey had shifted significantly ever since he found out that Tyler was her husband.It seemed like he was not even intending to persecute the incident of Josephine being unfairly kicked out of the party.To rub it in, he even praised Kelsey for finding a good marriage match and that she had brought pride and blessings to the family line.All of this was simply unacceptable!If Charlie started to repair his broken relationship with Kelsey because she managed to marry into a wealthy family, things would quickly go south for Megan and Josephine.
