Everyone’s faces immediately turned into contempt when they heard Madison’s words.

Walking alongside Jayden, Nina’s aura wasn’t inferior to his in the slightest. Coupled with her stunning face, they assumed she was the daughter of some influential family. Turned out they had been overthinking.

Madison’s words were like poison spreading through the group, tainting everyone's perceptions of Nina.

Of course, these people did not bother verifying the authenticity of Madison’s words. As Jayden’s niece, they believed whatever she said without question.

“Madison, won’t you introduce Jayden to us?” David, another one of Madison’s friends, took the opportunity and asked excitedly.

Although these individuals were considered elites, they were not qualified to be in the presence of Jayden. In their world, only their fathers and grandfathers had the privilege of coming into direct contact with a man of his stature.

This alone spoke volumes about the immense power and authority that Jayden L

    "Who are you planning to take care of her?"Amid the tense standoff, a deep and authoritative voice suddenly rang out, slicing through the heated argument like a blade.All eyes turned toward the source of the commanding tone, and there stood Jayden Luxton, his presence filling the room with an undeniable aura of power.Nina’s heart skipped a beat as she saw Jayden stepping forward and shielding her behind him, his dark gaze fixed on Kevin with coldness.Jayden’s unexpected arrival caught Kevin off guard. He froze for a moment before his forehead broke out into a nervous sweat.“Why wasn’t I aware that my wife needed someone to take care of her?” Jayden continued, his voice cold and menacing.Kevin felt a sinking feeling as though someone had punched him in the gut.“Big Brother, I-I didn’t mean that,” he stammered, desperately attempting to salvage the situation.Jayden’s gaze remained fixed on Kevin, demanding an explanation for his hurtful words. “Care to explain what exactly you m

    Nina had always been a brilliant student, which led her to receive scholarships and attend the same prestigious school as Nora. However, her good days at school did not last long.Nina’s mother Kristen was a sex addict. As a promiscuous woman, she couldn’t control her lust and involved herself with multiple sugar daddies.Shockingly, one of them turned out to be their school’s principal.When the principal’s wife discovered their affair, she was furious and wanted to settle scores. Unable to locate Kristen, she decided to lash out at Nina instead.Nora vividly remembered that day and the chaos that ensued.In the middle of classes, the principal’s wife barged into the classroom, dragged Nina to the school field, and beat her violently.

    “Nina?” A surprised cry sounded from the distance, halting Nina in her tracks. She turned around to notice a familiar yet unexpected acquaintance.It was none other than her boss, Victor Levigne.On second thought, it wasn’t surprising for him to be here, since he also belonged to the upper echelons of society.However, to Victor, it was a shock.Since Nina was an intern at his company, Victor more or less knew about her background, hence arousing such a huge reaction from him.He made his way toward her and, as usual, was about to greet her with a hug.However, before he could even touch her fabric, a strong masculine body settled itself between them, preventing Victor from hugging Nina.Both Nina and Victor looked at the person in bewilderment, not knowing what he was up to.Though momentarily stunned, Victor quickly regained his composure.“CEO Luxton,” Victor acknowledged, his tone carefully neutral. “A pleasure to see you.”Jayden’s response was deliberated, his voice containing

    Nina shot Madison an icy glare. However, before she could respond, a sudden jolt of pain shot through her knee as she was kicked from behind. Cold beads of sweat formed on her forehead, and her lips pressed together in a tight line as she fought to regain her composure. The sound of her knees knocking on the floor was loud, and everything around her seemed to blur as the world momentarily focused on that pulsing pain. As she fell, a shadow crept over her. The sensation of fingers entwined in her hair sent a tingling shiver down her scalp. With a forceful tug, her head got yanked backward by a tight grip on her hair. Madison’s lips curled into a cruel grin, her eyes glinting with a twisted satisfaction as she enjoyed Nina’s vulnerable state. This was the face that Jayden admired, right? Then she would destroy it. With malicious intent, Madison stepped forward and lifted her arm to deliver a sharp slap across Nina’s face that would probably cripple her face. However, before her ha

    “Miss Santiago, I did not expect such a behavior from you,” the principal bellowed angrily. “I understand you feel provoked, but violence is never the answer.”Although he was proud to have a diligent student like her in his institute, Madison had the backing of the Luxton family.The nurse attended to Madison’s swollen face, applying a cold compress to her bruised cheek.Her tear-stained face twisted in pain as she winced, “It hurts!” she whimpered.With each minute, Madison’s sobs grew louder, as she yelled, “I can’t believe she did this to me! She’s fucking crazy!”The principal’s temples throbbed upon seeing the situation unfold in front of him. “Madison, could you please calm down? We’re here to address the issue.”Madison’s face was now purple and blue, her swollen features barely recognizable. Her mascara had smudged, leaving dark streaks down her cheeks, mingling with her tears.He was positive that Madison’s appearance would undoubtedly lead to serious consequences for Nina.

    Madison watched their exchange with immense satisfaction. She was ecstatic upon seeing Jayden's unwavering support for her.See? And Nina still thought she mattered.An evil grin formed on her swollen face, her voice dripping with disdain. “Didn’t you hear him, Nina? I don’t understand what you’re being so arrogant for. It’s a fact that you beat me up.”“These bruises are evidence of it. Do you think you can get out of it unscathed? Nothing good will come out if you continue to be stubborn.” Madison said haughtily.“However, if you kneel and apologize to me, I can consider not taking legal measures against you.”Madison had always thrived on her power, and now, with Jayden’s backing, she felt invincible.Nina’s hands trembled slightly at her sides and glanced at Jayden who was silent. 'You can do whatever you want, and I’ll be your strongest backer,'Once upon a time, those words had given her a sense of security, a belief that he would protect her no matter what.However, as she sto

    “She should be at the mansion.” Nora analyzed confidently. “Think about it, the most dangerous place is often the safest place.” The corner of his lips twitched as Liam found her theory to be ridiculous, yet strangely plausible at the same time. Women had a way of seeing things from angles that often differed from men. As her comadre, perhaps it was just as Nora said. He immediately conveyed Nora’s words to Jayden, who too fell into a brief silence after listening to her reasoning. Liam cleared his throat awkwardly and suggested. “Why don’t you search the entire mansion once again?” “Thanks. I’ll do that.” Jayden acknowledged before hanging up. Drawing a deep breath, he turned back to the guards and ordered them again. “Do a thorough search of the entire manor again, every room, every corner.” Meanwhile, he made his way toward his bedroom. The master bedroom was a grand stretch. The gloomy gray tones that Jayden had once favored now had a minimalist theme that was meticulously

    “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

    With a gesture to the servant, Isaac instructed him to chase them out of his house.Although they already knew the outcome, dejection settled over Nina as they left the residence.She opened the door when she saw Jayden’s intense gaze fixed upon her.Despite his sickly pallor, his domineering aura couldn’t be concealed.Sensing the tension, Nina felt amiss. “H-Hey, you’re up?”Jayden remained silent, his icy gaze unyielding. 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. Helpless, she started to speak, “Jayden, I—”“Enough!” Jayden inte

The very man who had been the reason she could step out of her shadows.She had let go of his hand when he needed her the most. The thought of not being there to witness his final moments was so agonizing that it felt like a sharp pain was piercing through her heart, leaving her breathless.Nina wiped away her tears and assured Jayden, “I’m here now. And I’ll never leave your side.”Without waiting for his reply, she expressed her intention to speak to his doctor.As she left the ward, a streak of worry flashed across Jayden’s face, “Nina…”In the doctor’s office.Closing the door behind her, Nina anxiously approached the doctor. “Doctor, how is Jayden’s situation?”The doctor furrowed his brow. “Who are you?”“I’m his wife, Nina Luxton,” she declared.
