The entire hall had their attention to the powerful man who had barely said a word to anyone except his companion that evening. They were scared. Was he about to punish them for the drink incident?
Malcolm looked around with a satisfactory look, "The Byrnes was a good host. My wife and I are impressed." He stressed the word wife, making sure his message hit home, "On behalf of my wife, I am donating three billion dollars." The hall turned into a frenzy. They didn't care about the money he donated. Of course, the Knight family were capable but the word wife... And as if to punctuate the word, he snaked his arm around her waist in a possessive manner, leading her out of the hall. Right now, he was too turned on to care about the frenzy in the hall. Just thinking about her naked figure underneath him made him wish he could fly away with her. Beside him, Michelle kept blushing hard. Not only had she succeed in regaining her rightful position, Malcolm finally announced her to the
Michelle woke up the next morning feeling sore all over. She blushed at the sight of her naked body sprawled all over Malcolm's bed. Yesterday hadn't been a dream. She owes it all to her brilliant mother. "You are awake."Michelle turned to see him seated on a seat beside the bed, dressed for work. Claiming innocence, she quickly drew the blanket to cover herself. Her actions earned a chuckle from him. "Stop acting coy already. I already saw everything last night." He teased. "You..." She feigned annoyance. "That's enough. Take a shower. I asked Kate to bring your meal upstairs."Kate? Who was she? Well, she didn't care. She was now the mistress of the Knight family and that was all that mattered. She entered the closet, gasping at the sight of the dresses that were worth a fortune. So this was what Lauren was enjoying. She ran her palm through the line of dresses there with a smile on her face. She was so going t
In a remote village, surrounded by mountains covered in shrubs. It was a beautiful sight to behold but it was so hidden that people barely knew of its existence. A little twelve-year-old girl ran, dressed in a simple countryside dress. She ran straight to a cluster of bushes and soon, came into a clearing. "Mother! Mother!" She yelled as she ran. "Don't give your father and me a heart attack, Gwen. What is it? And I have warned you several times to stop running!" A woman who was working on a large garden scolded the little girl who panted heavily.A man stepped in line with the woman. They are both in their late fifties. "What is wrong, Gwen?"For Gwen to run a long distance to the farm, it had to be something super important. "Anna... Anna is awake."The couple who were ready to return to work halted suddenly.The woman frowned, “If this is your way to make me come home to keep you company, I’m really going to puni
Malcolm strode into the house after a tiring day at work. Kate had just finished setting up the table for dinner when he entered. Michelle had stopped cooking for a long while and in as much as he was fine with it, he missed her cooking. "Good evening master." She greeted politely. "Evening, Kate." He replied and made to leave when he suddenly paused and turned to look at the woman whose gaze was still on him. "Out with it, Kate." The woman trembled, "Sorry sir, it is the young master. He has been skipping his meals frequently recently. He locked himself in his room the whole day and have had nothing to eat." Malcolm frowned, "Does Michelle know about this?" "He refused to let her in too." Nodding slightly, Malcolm continued his journey upstairs but this time, he took a detour to his son's room, knocking politely. There was no answer at the other end. Malcolm clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "You better op
Michelle opened her eyes slowly and just as she expected, Doctor Alfred was there, talking in a hush tone with Malcolm. She made a little sound to notify them of her presence and almost immediately, Malcolm rushed to her side to help her sit up. "What happened?" She asked. "Alfred said you took the wrong medication. Is that true?"Michelle shivered for a brief second, "I'm sorry. I was only feeling pains in my head and I was so shocked at the doctor's news that I felt a massive pain in massive pain in my head so I took some medications. I didn't know they were the wrong ones. Please forgive me, dear." "Doctor's news? What news?" Malcolm asked, looking at Alfred who stood quietly at the side.Michelle lowered her head, "I'm pregnant, Malcolm. I'm sorry. I know this isn't the best time for this but..." She put on an extremely sad look.Minutes passed without a word from Malcolm. Those were the longest minute of Michelle's
Anna watched six months swing by slowly with her getting better and better at gardening. Niran, Keira, and of course, Gwen were extremely nice to her and treated her like family. In the end, she could only work extremely hard to earn them a trip to the city as a form of her appreciation.One day, while working in the orchard, she suddenly felt a dull pain in her stomach. At first, she had ignored it. It might be due to the fact that she hadn't eaten anything all day. She continued working, singing along with Gwen who was taking care of a rose plant she was growing. The atmosphere was quiet, except for the song from the duo, and harmonious. Not too far, Niran and his wife worked on some trees, leaving the two girls to themselves. Slowly, the pain increased, and just as she was about to scream in pain, she began to run out of breath. Her heart pounded loudly against her chest. This wasn't the end, was it? Gwen was too engrossed in her song to notice the other party had stopped
Michelle walked into the house with a smug smile on her face. As expected, Malcolm wasn’t home yet. Bryan was having lunch at the dining table with the old hag of a cook, coaxing him at intervals to eat more. As she walked by, she and the little guy exchanged glares. She no longer glared. She was now the official Mistress of the Knight empire like she wanted, all thanks to Malcolm. She now had all the power in the world and there was no one who dared go against her. Malcolm loved her beyond imagination now and was willing to do anything for her. Perhaps, that was why she found it so easy to lie about her first pregnancy. After sleeping around for a while, she didn’t get pregnant as she had expected and so she arranged for a car to hit her and then feigned miscarriage. Luckily, she had managed to push herself to another hospital before Malcolm arrived with Doctor. Alfred else the big mouth would have exposed her on the spot. Now, she was willing to try again. She wanted t
After hours of trying to prepare the simplest possible dish, Michelle heaved a sigh of relief. Goddamnit! No one told her cooking a meal was this hard. Grabbing a disposable towel, she wiped off the layer of sweat that covered her face. All thanks to the internet else she might have been stuck in the kitchen for life. Damn that stupid stepsister of hers for spoiling the man with her food! Dishing out the meal in a bowl, she re-entered the dining room, putting on her brightest smile. "Sorry if I made you wait for too--" the rest of the sentence was swallowed down, followed by a loud crash of ceramics. Michelle was too shocked to care about the broken bowl or the food that had taken the effort to prepare. All she cared about now was the man sitting beside Malcolm.What the hell was Christian doing in Malcolm's house? Weren't the two brothers supposed to hate each other? "Hello, Michelle. Long time, no see." Christian greeted with a mischievous smile
Christian grinned as his door opened stealthily and Michelle walked in, looking as sexy as ever in a night robe. "You blackmailing bastard!" She cursed.He smirked, "I knew you couldn't resist." "What do you want, Christian? Revenge? Is it what this is all about?"Christian laughed, "Revenge? What?! Are you kidding me? You and I know that what we had was only fun. We agreed not to attach anything else and I think I deserve an award for keeping my own end of the bargain." "Then why are you doing this to me? Malcolm can wake up anytime." Michelle was trying hard not to yell at the man in front of her.Christian licked his lower lips seductively, "Maybe because my body still can't get rid of your smell in my bed."Michelle opened her mouth in disbelief, "No way! There is no way I am sleeping with you."Christian shrugged, "Fine then. Maybe I could just forward another set of photo to your beloved husband. Like
