“Good morning, honey,” Aiden's gentle voice broke through Kiara's sleepy haze as she rubbed the last traces of sleep from her eyes. “Morning,” she replied, sitting up straight in bed. Aiden walked over and placed a cup of coffee on the nightstand next to her. “There you go,” He whispered as he leaned down to place a tender kiss on her forehead. Kiara smiled warmly as memories of the sweet moments she had shared with Aiden the previous night came flooding back. She had missed his warmth and the comfort of his touch.“Don't you like it?” Aiden questioned as he sat down beside Kiara his eyes soft and adoring while he watched her sip her coffee. She took a few gulps, relishing the hot, bitter taste, before she suddenly realized it was too hot. Spluttering, she coughed as the liquid burned her throat."Oh, I do love it," she gasped, the irony of her words not lost on her as she recovered from her coughing fit. Aiden, however, remained calm and collected, as his hand gently rubbed her back
Kiara stood outside the compound she shook her hands into her pocket and let out a deep sigh. She then cocked her head on her wristwatch instantly. Disappointed, Kiara began walking to the front door and squeezed the knob gently. Just as she was about to step inside, the sound of Blake's horn echoed through the air and it made her turn around immediately. A warm smile curled on her lips as she spotted Lisa rushing towards her. “Hey, bestie,” Lisa exclaimed as she embraced Kiara tightly. “Miss me?” She added while she arched her eyebrows.“You were only gone for a few days Lisa, and not for years,” Kiara responded as she rolled her eyeballs and it made Lisa laugh slightly. “Come on, let's have lunch together. Aiden and the kids are inside as well.” Kiara declared while she turned to leave but Lisa grabbed her hand gently. “I got something for the kids, just wait let me get them out of the car.” As Lisa mentioned, she rushed towards the back seat and pulled out some shopping bags. “Al
“That's just it Daniel. It was the only way I could secure my throne and find a way to get rid of Aiden.” Cass uttered as he enjoined his palms together and glanced at Daniel. “I would have never agreed to marry Caroline in the first place, but I just had to. I was left with no other choice because my father had strictly warned me that I wouldn't take his throne until I finally decided to agree to marry her.” He continued. Daniel darted his gaze to the floor as he listened carefully to Cass's words. The moment Cass was done talking, he stood to his feet immediately and kept his hands inside his pocket before he continued to speak. “I only need Caroline’s father's assistance. I need enough power to get back at Aiden and make him pay for everything. And then, I would prove to Kiara how much I love her until she realizes it herself.” He continues.Daniel arched his brows, surprised at Cass's words. “Then what about Caroline, what are you going to do about her once you've finally gotten
As Blake slid into his T-shirt, he kept his eyes on Lisa, watching her as she slept peacefully like a baby. When he was fully dressed, he moved closer to the bed and bent down to her level. Blake touched Lisa's soft black hair, gently brushing the strands that had fallen over her eyes away. He cupped her cheeks in his hand and admired her for a moment."I don't know how you did it, Lisa, but you amaze me every day. I never thought I would find happiness again," he continued, his voice hushed and sincere. "But with you, I have. You've brought meaning back into my life, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I know I haven't always been the best at showing it, but I love you, Lisa."Blake leaned forward and gently placed a kiss on Lisa's forehead, feeling a sense of contentment wash over him. He knew that he wanted to make Lisa his wife, to officially commit to her and prove to her just how much he loved her.Blake smiled softly as he stood up and walked out of the room, gen
The moment Blake applied the brakes, Aiden opened the car door and climbed down immediately. With a deep breath, he wasted no time to walk inside quickly, while Blake trailed behind him. As they stepped inside the living room, they both parted ways. Aiden stood still at his doorstep and squeezed the door knob gently. As he stepped inside, his eyes widened in extreme shock the moment his gaze met with the slender gorgeous-looking lady that stood across the mirror.While Kiara adjusted her dress, she felt a hand grip her waist gently. “When I said look your best, I never meant you should dress to seduce anyone,” Aiden whispered as he slowly brought his hands to her breasts and squeezed them tightly while she kissed her neck.A smile crept on Kiara's lips as she quietly turned to face him while she wrapped her arms boldly around his neck. “I dressed to seduce you.” She whispered and joined her lips with Aiden lips. As Aiden realized they were supposed to be somewhere, he broke from the
"Don't say a word to anyone," Cass ordered Caroline as they arrived at the dinner party. "Just smile and look pretty." Caroline frowned and lowered her gaze to the floor in disappointment.Cass had insisted that she accompany him to this event, despite her discomfort. As the press began to photograph them, Cass stepped out of the car first and extended his hand to help Caroline out. At that moment, Caroline wished that the gesture had been genuine, that Cass cared about her as more than just an accessory to his image. But she knew that was unlikely. As the reporters snapped pictures of the couple, Cass leaned in and whispered something into Caroline's ear, with his voice low and commanding. "Remember your place," he said, a thinly veiled threat in his words.Caroline's fake smile faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered while her lips curved up into a tight, forced grin. She knew that she couldn't afford to make a scene, not when Cass's reputation was at stake.But as they wa
As Kiara sat comfortably, she glanced at Cass and noticed that he had been staring at her for a while. With a slight scoff, she averted her gaze elsewhere immediately. Caroline watched with suspicion as Cass continued to stare at the woman he barely knew. She had never seen him look at anyone with such calm and warm affection before.Caroline wished she could be the recipient of Cass's gaze, but instead, she watched as he continued to stare at the lucky lady.Raymond concluded his announcement with, "Thank you once again for showing up. Please enjoy your stay here." As he made his way to where Aiden and Kiara were seated,The moment Kiara left to use the restroom, Cass stood up, causing Caroline to glance in his direction, expecting him to at least say a word or two before leaving. However, to her disappointment, Cass turned and made his way towards the direction Kiara had gone. Caroline watched him disappear, feeling a knot in her stomach. She knew that Cass's attention was now focus
Caroline applied the brakes and rushed out of the car immediately. The moment she got to the back seat, she opened the door quickly and helped Cass climb outside. “I warned you not to drink too much Cass.” She uttered as she struggled to assist him but Cass pushed her to the floor immediately while he began to walk inside. “Argh.” Caroline groaned in pain as she struggled to get back on her feet to assist him. The moment Cass reached the front doorstep, he collapsed on the floor instantly. “Why do you prefer hurting this much, Kiara?” Cass whispered and shut his eyes immediately. A deep frown appeared on Caroline's lips as she heard Cass's voice. “You're also hurting me as well Cass, please can't you just love me back? I'm f*cking fricking out right now because I'm just so sad and confused. I love you so much Cass so please stop avoiding me, it hurts so much.” She whispered as her voice began to break slowly. As she bent down to Cass's level, she touched his soft brown hair and dre
