“Sorry, we’re late. Dad, Mom, this is Nina, my wife.” Jayden introduced.

William nodded at them.

“It’s all right. You’re just in time for the dinner.”

On the other hand, Lilian didn't respond and headed straight to the dining hall.

The luxurious dining room was adorned with opulence as the Luxton family gathered for dinner. A long table was set for the evening, meticulously arranged, with fine crystal glasses and elaborate floral centerpieces.

William sat at the head of the table. On his right were Jayden and his wife, Nina, whereas Lilian sat on his left.

As the dishes were served, Lilian cleared her throat. “So, Nina, can you tell us something about yourself? Aside from being Jayden’s partner, do you have any other qualifications?

“I’m a student at IDU and currently interning at Elysium Couture,” Nina replied politely.

Elysium Couture was one of the leading fashion houses in Country S. They held strict requirements for their employees and for Nina to intern at the company und

    The number you have dialed is busy. Please try again later… The cold mechanic voice rang from the other end. “Why can’t I get through this damned man!?” Nina grumbled, running her fingers through her hair. She dialed his number in an attempt to get through one last time. Perhaps the heavens finally heard her plea, and the man answered her call. “Yes?” Jayden’s voice broke through. Nina swallowed, almost forgetting why she had called him. “Umm… are you busy? If not, I’ll call you later.” “It’s fine. What’s up?” “Elysium Couture has organized an event tonight, and it’s really important for me. Can you accompany me there?” “Tonight? I have important work to attend to later. I don’t think I’ll be able to make it,” he responded, his voice lacking any enthusiasm. Nina’s shoulders slumped and her grip on her cell phone subconsciously tightened. Though she had imagined his response, his words still shattered her hopes with disappointment. “Not even for half an hour?” “Nope.” “It’

    Nina’s laughter rang through the air, her eyes sparkling with amusement at Victor’s persistent suggestion.Ever since he came across her and her work, he had been nagging her to walk the runway. She appreciated his recognition, but her aspirations lay elsewhere.“Thank you for the compliment,” she replied, her voice filled with genuine warmth. “But I’m more comfortable working behind the scenes. Being the center of attention is not my forte.”Victor’s disappointment was palpable in his expression. He had hoped to showcase her not just as a talented designer but also as an enchanting model, a combination that could elevate her presence in the fashion world.“I understand,” he conceded with a hint of remorse and shrugged. “Everyone has their path, and if yours is to weave magic through your designs, then I respect your choice.”Nina nodded appreciatively, a sense of gratitude filling her heart.“Thank you, Vic,” she said sincerely. “Rest assured, I will continue to pour my heart into my

    Stunned by his words, Alyson’s mouth opened wide in shock, as she could not believe her ears.What?How could Nina be one of the chief designers at Elysium?She looked at them in disbelief.Due to Victor’s overpowering aura, she started to panic and murmured apologetically with her head lowered.“Mr. Lavigne, I apologize if I have offended you. It’s just that Nina hasn’t been home for the past year, and there have been rumors circulating about her becoming someone’s kept woman. I thought those rumors were true when I saw her at this event. Considering her circumstances, it seemed impossible for her to be here otherwise.”To salvage the situation, she looked at Mr. Johnson pleadingly.Victor looked at her coldly. “You should be ashamed of yourself for spreading unfounded rumors about someone’s character. Nina’s talent and dedication have earned her a place on this stage. Since you don’t know anything, it’s better to keep your mouth shut.”Mr. Johnson promptly approached Victor and Nina

    Nina’s heart skipped a beat as she found herself pulled into a secluded corner. Her breath was caught in her throat when she realized that the person who had caught her off guard was none other than Jayden. Her beautiful amber eyes met his dark orbs, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still. The emotions that had been roiling inside her moments ago surged back with a vengeance. She swallowed the lump in her throat, gathering her thoughts and summoning her composure. As she met his dark and intense gaze, her eyes reflected a blend of emotions—surprise, hurt, and a lingering trace of defiance. She tried to pull her arm out of his grasp, but she was no match for him. “What are you doing here?” The man asked. His voice was low, almost a whisper, tinged with a hint of concern. His grip on her arm was firm but not forceful as if he wanted her attention. Nina took a deep breath, her voice steady despite the tumultuous whirlwind of emotions raging within her. “Why can’t I be here?

    Every single word that came out of her mouth was like a dagger piercing his soul. The weight of her disappointment, her pain, and unspoken anguish settled heavily upon his shoulders. Jayden’s chest tightened, and he took a step closer to Nina. “Number eight, eleven, and sixteen,” he suddenly said. “Those were your creation, right?” Nina’s mouth fell agape in surprise as she registered his words. To avoid any accidents, the outfits selected for the runway were kept a secret. Except for the designers themselves, no one knew about the arrangements. Even Victor had no idea about it. How did Jayden know about it? Seeing her stunned expression, Jayden pulled her into his arms. He hugged her tightly, burying his face in the crook of her neck. Taking in her natural fragrance, his chaotic thoughts finally calmed down, and he felt at ease. “How did you know?” she asked, looking confused. “I figured it out.” He spoke softly. “When the models walked the runway, a sense of familiarity washe

    “I think this is a lot for Nina to process right now,” Jayden said in a protective tone. “We appreciate you sharing this with us, but she needs some time. We’ll talk about it later when she’s ready.” Isaac and Alaina exchanged a glance, recognizing the need for patience and understanding. “Of course,” Isaac replied, his voice gentle. “We’ll be here whenever she’s ready to talk.” At that moment, Isaac’s phone rang, breaking the heavy silence in the room. He excused himself with an apologetic look and answered the call. As he listened to the voice on the other end, his expression changed drastically. After a brief conversation, he hung up and turned to the couple. His expression was somber as he stood up and held Alaina’s hand. “I’m sorry, but I have urgent work that requires my immediate attention. We’ll have to leave for now, but we'll visit again soon.” “Take care, both of you.” Isaac nodded at them. Alaina, though confused, followed her husband. She gave a reluctant glance at

  • The CEO's Contract Lover   Finale (1)

    Speaking of his daughter, Nina, he almost cried when he thought about the abuse she had suffered at Kristen’s hands. While his daughter had to tread on thin ice just for a meal, Kristen’s illegitimate child was enjoying the luxuries that never belonged to her! Unknowingly, he had added to his daughter’s sufferings. Isaac’s regret and anguish over the past intensified as he considered the stark contrast in the lives of the two children. When he realized Nina was his and Alaina’s daughter, he immediately ordered his men to do a background check on her. Everything began to fit into pieces when he found out about Nina's relationship with Kristen. Isaac looked at the woman in front of him with disgust and called the officer over. Jayden had already done an excellent job in ensuring that Kristen faced the consequences of her actions. As for Isaac, he was determined to ensure that Kristen would rot in prison for the rest of her life, wishing she was never born. Meanwhile, the situati

    Isaac’s face turned ashen, and he rushed toward Alaina. Everything happened so suddenly that he could not react in time. And when he came to his senses, there was already a long cut on Alaina’s forearm. “Alaina, are you okay?” Isaac asked, his voice trembling with heartache. “I-I’m fine,” Alaina nodded, though the pain was clear in her eyes. Her arm continued to bleed, prompting Isaac to call out urgently, “Somebody, call an ambulance.” Shocked, Emilia dropped the knife from her hand. The blood drained from her face when she realized the gravity of her actions. Everyone knew Alaina was the apple of Isaac’s eye and that he treated her like a treasure. Emilia’s heart trembled when she thought about how she had inadvertently touched his Achilles' heels. She watched as everyone in the house scrambled to send Alaina to the hospital. Overwhelmed with fear and guilt, he slipped away and retreated to her room. She locked the door, hoping Isaac wouldn’t settle scores with her if any

    “I’m fine. Just a little tired,” Jayden replied weakly, his eyes still closed. “I’ll be alright after sleeping for a while.” His reassurance didn’t ease Nina’s worry, though. Her heart pounded in her throat, and she could not calm down. Wiping away her tears, a trace of stubbornness appeared in her eyes as she left the ward. Once again, Nina found herself standing in front of the imposing estate. This time, she came alone and did not alert anyone. Although Jayden forbade her from contacting Isaac, fear overrode her senses. She couldn’t shake the haunting image of waking up to his cold, lifeless body one day. The door creaked open, and Nina slipped inside, her eyes scanning the elegant foyer. She knew she was pushing her luck, but she had to convince Isaac no matter what. Turning a corner, she found herself in the expansive living room. There, seated on the sofa, was none other than Emilia Moore. After suffering multiple setbacks in life, nothing seemed to have changed for E

    “WHAT!?” The room erupted in uproar. “No! You can’t. What about my son?” Lilian protested hysterically. “That’s my final order,” William asserted authoritatively. “As for you,” he addressed the woman, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown, “Let’s get a divorce.” Lilian’s eyes widened, and she slumped onto the chair with a thud. “No…” William paid no attention to her. His old body could not hold on any longer. He patted Jayden’s shoulder lightly before turning to leave. Watching him walk away, panic seized Lilian. She jumped from her seat and dashed forward. Kneeling, Lilian grasped William’s legs and pleaded for mercy. “Husband, I’m sorry. I was blinded by greed. I acknowledge my mistake, and I promise I’ll turn over a new leaf. Please don’t abandon me,” she begged. The weight of her actions only became clear when she lost everything. Without the title of Mrs. Luxton, she was nothing. “Husband…” Lilian continued to create a scene, but it was to no avail. The guards hel

    “Don’t forget, I’m still the CEO.” Jayden looked at her coldly. A derisive snicker resonated in the room that came from Jayden’s uncles. Back when William suddenly fell ill, The Luxton Corporation faced imminent danger. During that period, it was Jayden who resurrected the Luxton Corporation from the brink of collapse. Under his leadership, the business flourished with each passing day. They were indignant about letting an illegitimate son take the position of CEO. However, Jayden’s ability to manage the business left everyone speechless. Throughout the years, they had silently consented to let him toil for the Luxton Corporation. However, now that he had a few days to live, they couldn’t wait to overthrow him. “Jayden, have you forgotten that you’re a dying man right now? How much more do you think you can invest?” They mocked. He had already outlived his usefulness and so there was no need for him to stay at the company. Nina’s heart chilled at their words. Among those pre

Instead of acknowledging her greeting, he asked instead, “Where have you been?”“Nowhere in particular. I just went to learn about your treatment plan with the doctor…” Nina replied, trying to keep her tone steady.“Is that so?”Nina nodded.“Was the doctor’s name Isaac Moore?”The smile on Nina’s face froze.The look in Jayden’s eyes sent a shiver down her spine; there was a dangerous gleam that made her heart race.Panic flashed across her face when she realized Jayden had figured out everything.
