Blurb "What do you think, Kenzo? Do I look sexy in this" pushing the door open to his suite room, he was met with the most unexpected scene, with sprawled legs on both sides of the bed, a book in her hands, in a flowy lacy thin white gown which stuck dangerously to her body, doing absolute justice to her perfectly rounded boobs which poked out dangerously through the see-through night gown, his long distance wife was right there, on the bed. She finally looked away from the book which was seated on both palms of her hands, she tucked it aside and then raised her head up, her eyes meeting his. "Missed me, dear husband?" Three weeks and four days ago was their 7th year wedding anniversary, and she wasn't available, she was never available, not for the first, second, fifth, nor sixth. So, why was she here now? After years of living totally apart despite being married, their main focus was their company, or at least, hers. They married for love, people think they didn't, they think it is a contract marriage, they married for love, or maybe just him. He married her because he loved her and he thought she did too, but maybe he was wrong. Why was she here now?

He leaned back against the seat, pressing his lips against each other as he stared blankly at his wife.His wife... the one who refused to sign the divorce papers and is now asking for a truce, just for 'three months' she said. She wanted to be with him just for three months. Just three months. Was that how long her dad gave her before she needed to come back to take over the company again."Ken..""How about now?" Kenzo cut her off. Helena raised her brows softly, "what?" "Why not now? Why in three months?" He asked.Helena visibly taken aback by his question didn't know what to reply with, "Um.. Because..""Because your dad said so?" Kenzo cut in."I said that's not it!" Helena snapped at him."Why? Why shouldn't I mention him, Helena? Our whole relationship was practically built around him. Now that I think about it, is he the reason you accepted to date me in the first place, did he ask you to?""Kenzo, stop!" Hele
Chapter 23Helena pushed the door open to Kenzo's office and met him seated, working on some files with Kelly on the opposite seat.Helena rolled her eyes before walking in anyways.Kenzo raised his head but on seeing her continued with his work. Helena smiled at him as she approached his desk then took a glance at Kelly who shivered slightly in fear."Get out" Helena said at once and Kelly nodded, packed her bags and walked out after giving Kenzo a last glance.Kenzo sighed then dropped the files in his hands and finally looked up at her."What do you want?" He asked as she had her seat. She smiled. "I see you've met Alec, he's my personal assistant, and yeah he might be a bit straight spoken sometimes, alright maybe most of the time, but still, you shouldn't take his words to heart" She said, practically speaking to herself because Kenzo couldn't have looked more uninterested in her words."Oh come on, why are you playing so hard to get?" She groaned. Kenzo still looked uninterested
Chapter 22"Hi" Gianna greeted the man seated on the seat while Kenzo had his seat across from him.The man barely moved nor said a word Kenzo raised his brows and turned to Gianna. Gianna nodded and then bent a bit to the man's level."Sir, you said you had information for us. I was the one that called you the other day, and you said to meet you here" She mustered up a smile.The man finally looked up, and Gianna was a bit taken aback as she moved back slowly. He was totally not what he expected him to look like. Magical. He was magical, and young. She had expected a man in his 40s who had shady information for them."Hum" She cleared her throat nervously then got on her feet."Hi, I'm Gianna" She stretched out her hands for a handshake.The man looked down at her stretched hands, then looked away at Kenzo instead. Gianna nervously retracted her hands."You must be Kenzo?" The man stated. Kenzo's brows dipped."Yes, and you?" Kenzo asked.The guy smirked and leaned back against the
Chapter 21Kenzo stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of his penthouse, staring at the city lights that flickered like tiny stars beneath him. His mind, however, was far from the breathtaking view. His thoughts were occupied with Helena—her unexpected return, her persistence, and the secrets she was undoubtedly keeping from him.His phone vibrated on the table beside him, snapping him out of his thoughts. He grabbed it and saw Gianna’s name flashing on the screen.“Talk,” he said, his tone sharp.Gianna sighed on the other end. “I’ve been looking into Helena’s records like you asked, but I keep hitting dead ends. Someone has been deliberately covering her tracks.”Kenzo’s jaw clenched. “Covering them how?”“Her business dealings, travel history—everything is carefully edited. The Laurents are known for their secrecy, but this goes beyond that. It’s as if she was never anywhere she wasn’t supposed to be. Except…”Kenzo narrowed his eyes. “Except what?”“There’s a pattern,” Gianna cont
Chapter 20The morning after the kiss was supposed to be just another day for Kenzo. Yet, as he sat in his office, his fingers absently drumming against the mahogany desk, his mind refused to obey. The taste of Helena still lingered—soft, warm, intoxicating. He hated that he could still feel it.He clenched his jaw and forced himself to focus on the documents in front of him. He had worked too damn hard to build a life free from distractions, free from her. He wasn’t about to let Helena waltz back into his life and unravel everything he had built.But why the hell did it feel like she already had?---Helena woke up feeling satisfied. She had felt Kenzo hesitate during the kiss. That brief second of surrender had told her everything she needed to know—he still wanted her, even if he refused to admit it.But she wasn’t naive. Winning Kenzo back wouldn’t be easy. He was stubborn, guarded, and probably even angrier with her now than before.She pulled out her phone and dialed Arielle."C
Chapter 19Kenzo had barely slept. The events of the previous night kept replaying in his head—the moment Helena had kissed him, the way he had pushed her away, the way she had crumpled to the floor after he left. He had seen her do it through the study’s reflective glass wall before he stormed out, but he had refused to turn back. Refused to let himself care.But now, as the sun peeked through his curtains, his frustration boiled beneath the surface. He needed a distraction.Dressed in a crisp black suit, he buried himself in work, answering calls and reviewing contracts, but no matter how much he tried to focus, his mind kept wandering back to her.To make things worse, he found himself checking his phone multiple times, tempted to ask Gianna if she had more information on Helena’s activities. What was she up to now? Was she still wallowing in self-pity, or had she already moved on to another manipulation?Stop thinking about her.Annoyed at himself, he threw the phone onto his desk
Chapter 18Kenzo sat in his office, fingers drumming against the glass table as he stared at the open laptop before him. The reports blurred together, numbers and words losing meaning as his mind drifted—again—to Helena.He leaned back in his chair with an exasperated sigh, rubbing his temples. He had been doing this all day—trying to focus, only to find his thoughts slipping back to her. His jaw clenched as the memory of her lips on his replayed in his head. The audacity. The nerve. She had kissed him like nothing had happened, as if she had never walked away, never left him with nothing but a cold signature on divorce papers.A knock sounded on the door. He didn’t answer, but Gianna walked in anyway, holding a tablet.“You might want to see this,” she said, placing it on his desk.Kenzo exhaled sharply, forcing himself to appear indifferent as he picked it up. His eyes skimmed over the screen—and then narrowed. The headline was simple but effective.LAURENT HEIRESS STEPS BACK INTO T
Chapter 17Kenzo let out a troubled sigh as he leaned back against his seat. He then raised his head up at Gianna who was staring down at him."And what do you think this proves or means, Gianna?" He asked, his brows knitted together in confusion.Gianna shrugged, "I don't know, perhaps she regretted leaving" Kenzo scoffed unbelievably."You think?" He said in a mocking tone."I guess" Gianna pressed her lips together.Kenzo stared at the pictures again, his jaw clenching as he realized Helena must have been lurking around him all this while, but why did she never appear before him? She was his wife, what held her back and why did she decide to watch him discreetly instead?Was this one of her plans? Did she have a goal? Is this somehow connected to her dad?He knew how much effect her dad had on her.But still, he didn't seem to know what to think. If truly Helena wasn't as he thought, what about now? She clearly had a goal, one he's hey to find out the motive behind.He shook his he
Chapter 16It was evening and Kenzo had arrived home earlier than usual. Helena checked herself in the mirror for the last time, before walking out after a last minute of reassuring herself everything was going to go fine.She had checked Kenzo in his room earlier and saw that he wasn't there and had noticed the study room's light on, so he must be there.She made her way there and pushed the door open after deciding against knocking.She stepped in while Kenzo was going through the book racks obviously searching for something.She smiled and stepped closer to him. He noticed her presence but ignored her anyways.Helena smiled and tried touching his arms when he stepped away. With an annoyed glare, "Can you not do this right now, I'm not interested in an endless argument with you" He cut her off curtly.Helena slightly hurt out on a smile anyways. "I'm not about to annoy you. I just want to talk, seriously" She said, looking serious but he had enough already. He ignored her, turned ba
Chapter 01Staff members bowed as Helena strode into her company, exuding an air of elegance and confidence. Her white tailored suit accentuated her slender, well-built frame, and she moved in a way that commanded graceful authority down the hallway, her manager walking alongside her.They entered the elevator, their synchronized steps reflecting the harmony of their working relationship. And out of the elevator to her office located on the 15th floor of the building, the highest floor in the company.Her manager hurried to the door, opening it widely for her and she walked in, gracing the room with her presence, her red heels hitting the marbled floor."Come over" Helena said, and without looking at her, her manager knew she was referring to her.She hurried to catch up with her, matching her stride once again. She pulled the chair to the back and Helena stepped in, covering the space, then sat down as her manager wheeled the chair forward so she could sit."Yes, ma'am?" She asked, ...
