Monica was in the living room as Max helped Spencer to his room. She was a bit startled after finding out. Spencer probably knew her for a long time and even liked her. Maybe Max was just exaggerating. The door banged upstairs, and she hurried upstairs, hoping Max wasn't having a difficult time putting him in bed.

"Hey, Monica, can you help me out? I need to use the bathroom." He seemed to be holding a puke and as Monica arranged the bed, he placed Spencer on the nearby couch and rushed into the bathroom.

Monica felt dazed already by what Max told her. All she wanted was to go back and rest. She placed the pillow and was about to shut the cabinet when she noticed a photo of her inside. She picked it out, her fingers trembled. There were several others inside.

There were pictures of her, but they weren't from recent times. This was about four years ago when she started modeling. She was picking flowers outside her door when one was taken and another was when she was practicing her walk

    Inside the disciplinary office at the Mo's Fashion Empire, Angel had her head bowed after watching the CCTV footage of herself while adding an aphrodisiac to the boss's coffee. She had distracted the secretary and used that chance to add the drug to the coffee."Why would you do something like that? You could end up in jail, Ms White." The head of the department reprimanded, "I won't say you have a crush on him because you don't even know what he looks like."Tears slipped out of her eyes when she saw her contract being pulled out. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to pull off a stupid prank on Monica. I didn't want to hurt anyone.""Those are just your excuses. It really doesn't matter to the company. You are just lucky the CEO is in a good mood. Leave my sight. I'll speak to your manager."Angel hurried out of the office. If her hatred for Monica was mild, now it would just triple. She met Adriana in the hall."Are you okay?" Adriana held her hands and managed to calm her down.Her breathin

    Lake's hands trembled as he dropped his phone. The hospital had just called to inform him about the need to accelerate his mother's surgery. His fingers clenched. There weren't many options. Either he sold the house or the business, the money wouldn't even be enough for the loan not to talk about his mother's surgery. His whole income goes to the hospital, loans or bills. Throwing the scattered bills into his cabinet, he dressed up and left for the hospital. He signed in and proceeded to the ward. As soon as he pushed open the door, his heart broke in anticipation of seeing his mother looking lifeless as always. She had never been the same after his father died. His eyes widened as he spotted the empty bed and neatly tucked sheets. He panicked. Where was his mother? He rushed out of the room. His head spinning. He didn't dare think about the possibility as he rushed to the nurse at the front desk. The thought of losing his mother made his heart clench."Where is my mom?" he almost

    Earlier That DayInside Spencer's office, Adriana was called in by him. She saw him looking at Monica's pictures with a grim expression.She locked the door. "What's the meaning of this, Adriana?" he pointed at the pictures on his desk."What?" She batted her lashes innocently."Look at these photos, the advertising department obviously cannot work with this," he snapped. Monica's photos at the beach were all taken at the wrong angle. She folded her hands across her chest. "I didn't know, you could work with just Angel's own." She suggested, which infuriated Spencer."Just Angel's own. You are doing this on purpose, Adriana,"Spencer snapped again.Adriana rolled her eyes, then sat on the chair, "I'm not doing anything on purpose, it was obviously a mistake, and I'm sorry.""Don't make work difficult for me,"Spencer warned coldly."Can't you see what's happening? You are doing it again. Getting obsessed with her all over again."Spencer's expression went from annoyance to anger. He f

    Monica's eyes darted to Spencer and back to Liam. "What are you talking about?" "Shut up, Liam McKenzie." The old lady snapped, making Monica more curious about what they could be hiding. "No, she needs to know that Spencer doesn't love her, he is an obsessed fan that's sick in the head." The silence was nerve-racking. No one spoke, but eyes kept darting around. It seems everyone knew of the issue apart from Monica. Then Liam laughed. He seemed to be the only one enjoying all the tension. "You think I'm the monster here, huh?"he said, his eyes narrowed at Monica. "Has he shown you his dark side, the side he managed to keep locked away?" Monica couldn't help but steal a glance at the stiffened Spencer. He seemed lost in a daze. She had always denied it. The pictures couldn't even make her believe her fear, but hearing them from Liam crept her out. "He spent a year in an asylum because of his obsession with you, Monica." Her knees buckled, and she stumbled back a bit. They didn'

    "Spencer, wait! You can't leave yet," his father called, hurrying into the living room just as Spencer snatched his car keys from the table. Spencer didn’t slow down. "I have nothing to say to you, Father." His voice was flat, controlled—but his hands trembled slightly as he brushed past him. "Spencer McKenzie!" his father barked. "If you walk out that door, I’ll freeze all your accounts!" He stopped. Turned. When he looked back, his expression was cold enough to freeze the air. But there was something in his eyes—something sharp and tired, like a wound that never quite healed. His gaze flicked between his father and Liam. "Do you think I care?" he asked, voice low and cutting. "Have you ever even checked if I use the money you throw at me?" Liam shifted uncomfortably, then stepped forward. "Spencer, maybe just listen for a second. This doesn’t have to end like this." Spencer stared at him—long and hard. "It already did," he said quietly. And then he left. Withou

    Monica stepped into Mo's Fashion Corporation, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor. The Atlanta Fashion Event was less than two weeks away, and every day felt more intense than the last. Her routine had become second nature—morning workouts, a strict skincare regimen, then straight to Mo’s Fashion Empire to rehearse runway walks with the other models. Lately, she’d noticed Angel keeping her distance, and honestly, she was relieved. Drama was the last thing she needed. She slipped into a sleek, fitted gown and joined the others on the practice floor. They were rehearsing the opening walk and refining their display strides. "Monica Banks," the secretary called, interrupting the rhythm. Monica glanced up. "The CEO wants to see you." A quiet groan escaped her lips as a few of the models turned, their whispers already starting—more rumors about her and the CEO. She rolled her eyes. She had been doing her best to keep her distance these past few days. All she w

    Monica walked into the house while humming a song with a carefree smile on her face. A blush covered her face as her mind drifted off to the previous night. Liam finally made love to her. It had been three years since they got married, and they had a normal relationship, but last night was different. They were quite wild. Although she was a bit disappointed that he had opted for protection, she was still happy that they were getting closer. She had known all along that Liam wasn't in love with her when they got married, but he also didn't have a girlfriend, so she had hoped he would, one day, fall for her. Liam was her magazine crush before he became her husband. Since she was a model, she knew what beauty meant and Liam was the definition of one with his ocean-blue eyes and sharp jawline, his gleaming and perfect dentition. He was one of those eligible bachelors and young successful business men that graced the pages of magazines. She had fallen for him from the first time she saw h

    Monica didn't know how long she had been sitting in the bar. She hadn't bothered to wipe the tears that streamed down her face. Her husband and sister were still at the house when she left. She drowned another glass of alcohol and the hot liquid burned her throat, making her face squeeze.She smiled blankly; she had thought that Liam would be the father of her kids. He ended up cheating on her and not just with anyone but with Brie, her baby sister.She frowned as she noticed the empty glass. She hollered at the bartender, who quickly refilled the glass for her. The alcohol was starting to mess with her head and she felt a little bit drowsy."Are you alright?" A warm husky voice resonated through her ears and she felt her body shivering.Monica groaned when a splitting headache ran through her head. She glanced back, and her eyes widened as she took in the gorgeous man behind her.His blonde hair was stylishly pressed back, and his outfit screamed luxury. His gray eyes were cold yet w

    Monica kept smiling at Candy and Rose. It didn't feel awkward as she had thought it would. She couldn't help but be curious about what Angel said to people about her. The way Candy looked at her was pitiful.A waiter walked towards them with a tray of wine. He stumbled forward, then emptied the contents entirely on Monica."Christ, "Candy yelled.Monica gasped as the cold liquid seeped into her skin."Oh my God, I'm sorry Ma." He hurriedly apologized, but the damage was already done.Lake stood about to attack him when Monica grabbed his arms. "It's okay, I don't think it was intentional. I'll just clean up in the bathroom.""Get the hell out of here before I call your manager." Lake spat out, and the waiter ran off in fright. Monica sighed and then left for the bathroom.

"I thought this was a joke when I heard it, but even when Adriana confirmed it, I still couldn't believe it? Spencer, you both want to make a mockery of this family?" He spat out, his voice tight with anger.Spencer pulled Monica behind him, his eyes laced with annoyance, "Monica, please, can you wait for me upstairs?""Charles, have you heard your son, he speaks with no regards to me, ordering my son's wife upstairs."Monica had finally gotten enough.
