“I’m sorry, who are you?” Kiana asked the beautiful-looking lady who had entered the room with a huge gift box in her hand.

Joane placed the box carefully before she stood upright and turned to Kiana, “I was instructed by Mr. Reed to make sure you receive the dress and that you’re not late.”

“Not late for what? It's 7 PM.” Kiana creased her brows in confusion as she eyed the woman before her. It was the first time that they were meeting to speak to each other.

Arthur had given Joane a last task before she got transferred to Nikolai’s security team which she dreaded.

“I’m afraid, I can’t answer that,” Joane answered.

“Well, I don’t know where my phone is either. So please find out for me and let me know what his response will be. Until then, I have work to do.” Kiana said dismissively.

It was now evening but her headache had not gone away. She hated being rude but she also had no choice.

Joane hesitated for a few seconds before speaking up, “I don’t think he will take it well.
The every woman

    Kiana woke up the next morning and stared at her suitcase in awe. ‘How the hell did he manage to pack my things?’ she wondered as she picked up her daily journal. The realization was soon replaced with horror, ‘Oh my God! Did he read it?’ Kiana’s face turned a beat red at the thought. She was still angry at him but a part of her couldn’t help but wonder if she was acting ungrateful. ‘Maybe he has his reasons!’ A little voice whispered but she shut it down. Kiana walked to her desk to check on the vents she had recorded from her past life. ‘I need to make this trip worth it.’ She breathed as she pulled out a sticker and began writing her bucket list. She didn’t know how long she would be in New York but if the same happened like it did in her past life, it would mean five days. There was a knock on the door that made her groan internally before she stood up. She reluctantly walked to the door but when she opened it, her mood got worse and she wanted to close the door but Joane plac

    “I love seeing new and beautiful faces.” An unfamiliar voice spoke making Kiana turn to find a man she didn’t know smiling at her. “Hello,” Kiana responded politely. The man’s grin widened. “With a beautiful voice too. I don’t think we’ve met yet. My name is Marco and-” “You were just leaving.” A deep voice vibrated behind them. Arthur glared daggers at Marco but he ignored the warning. “Why would I leave such a beautiful woman alone?” Marco smiled. Kiana didn’t want to cause attention but she couldn’t help but want to hurt Arthur too. If he was here it meant that he cared right? ‘How dare he ignore me the whole time only to chase the second person who has attempted to have a conversation with me?’ Kiana thought angrily as she balled her hands into fists. With a bright smile, she turned to Arthur, “I was actually having a good time Mr. Reed.” “Ah, You see! No need for you to worry.” Marco added. Arthur’s Jaw clenched as his eyes darkened from the fire that was boiling in his

    The last place Kiana expected to find herself in, was an ordinary restaurant. She looked around and was shocked that Arthur would eat from such a place. It wasn’t bad. It just looked too normal for a man like him. “We are having lunch from here?” Kiana asked. “Why? Are you disappointed?” Arthur looked at her with concern. “No, it just looks... Never mind.” Kiana held onto the rest of the words. The two had just sat down and Arthur was about to say something else when a woman walked to where they sat and screamed his name. “Arthur! My darling boy!” an elderly woman opened her arms with a huge smile on her face. Kiana was shocked when she saw Arthur stand and not only did he smile back, but also hugged her tightly almost lifting her off the ground. “I missed you.” The woman said. “I know.” Arthur joked which earned him a slap on the head. “Ouch, Aunty Emelda! This head is pretty expensive. I hope you know that.” Arthur joked Kiana couldn't take her eyes off the scene that wa

    “So, you’re not worried about what she said to me?” Kiana asked. They had finished eating and had said their goodbyes to Emelda and even though it bothered Kiana that not all of her questions were answered, she was glad she had received a hint. The two were now walking in the streets of New York like a normal couple and Kiana’s heart warmed at that. “No, Why? Did she show you pictures of me in a diaper? I was a cute baby, Angel.” Arthur responded as he ruffled her hair making a giggle escape from Kiana. “You actually wore nothing. She showed me a bunch of pics with your bum all over the place.” Kiana laughed. Arthur pulled Kiana to a corner, “You can see me naked again. I promise you won't be disappointed” He whispered as he snaked his arms around her while his teeth played with her earlobe. Shivers went down Kiana’s spine as she felt her body betray her. She moved from Arthur’s grasp and cleared her throat, “Where to next?” “Ice cream,” Arthur responded as he grabbed her ha

    “Don’t play with fire, Angel,” Arthur growled as he pushed Kiana into her room and shut the door behind them. He didn’t give her time to recover when he claimed her lips in a hungry kiss. Arthur Lifted Kiana and placed her on the working desk. She wrapped her legs around him as he pressed his hard-on into her without breaking the kiss. With each hand, he took hold of Kiana’s breasts and massaged them roughly as a moaning escaped her mouth while her pussy dripped with juices. “Arthur..” Kiana half moaned when they broke off for some air. “Fuck, Kia my name sounds so fucking hot on your mouth.” He whispered as he claimed her lips again. Arthur took a few steps back making a frown form on Kiana’s face. “Easy there, Angel. You’ll be screaming my name in no time.” “Why have you moved backward?” Kiana asked. “I want you to stand and take off your clothes but leave the heels on and spread your legs on the desk for me.” Arthur huskily spoke. Kiana was so turned on that even if he aske

    “You just disappeared into thin air and didn’t even bother to call me,” Juliana complained but Kiana’s mind was miles away from her office. It was a week later and Kiana was back in her office with Juliana sitting in front of her. After the hot night with Arthur, she had avoided speaking to him, and the busy schedule played in her favor because he barely had time too. When it was time to fly back, Mary offered to fly with her so they could speak a little more and she was more than glad to agree. “I’m sorry Jullie, It all happened so fast and I was slightly drunk,” Kiana explained while leaving out the part where she had no idea about what was going on. Kiana’s heart was broken but she had to remain strong. Her mind was swirling with so many emotions and a part of her wanted to give up but another part knew she had to fight for their love. ‘What Aunt Emelda said keeps bugging me.’ She thought. A snapping of fingers in front of her brought her back to reality as she was met with J

    “That was genius, how did you manage to pull it off? I still can’t believe you didn’t tell me about such an important thing! I’m mad but I’m so happy!” Juliana spoke over the phone as Kiana drove to the station. It was only a few minutes after she had left the office to meet Cade that Juliana called to tell her about the paper. It also came as a surprise to her because she didn’t expect anyone to take pictures of them worse off, publishing them. “Come on, We still have so much to talk about. I did meet Mary and a few other prominent people but rest assured, the launch will be a fucking success!” Kiana screamed over the phone in excitement. “You better hurry back here so we can plan for tomorrow. That way, nothing will get in our way! You did it, Kia.”Juliana praised before hanging up. Kiana smiled all the way to the station, ‘I’ll need to thank Arthur.’ She thought as she debated if she should call him or visit him to thank him in person but a part of her knew it was better to jus

    Nikolai and Caspian exchanged looks but said nothing because they knew that when it came to Kiana Frost, Arthur was the most unstable and unpredictable in the room. “I guess that marriage might just happen after all.” Caspian laughed as he drowned the whiskey in the glass and Nikolai joined him. “I’m still mad at him for swapping my security-” Nikolai wanted to complain but Caspian cut him off. “Please shut up, in fact, get the fuck out!” Caspian said in irritation. “You called me here.” He complained. “I changed my mind.” Caspian groaned and walked to his room and shut the door leaving a seething Nikolai behind. It was now just the two of them with Joane but she didn’t even spare him a glance as she maintained her position. “Hey, get me my coat from the kitchen,” Nikolai commanded. Joane didn’t move. “Are you deaf and dumb?” He asked through clenched teeth. When he saw that he was still being ignored, anger bubbled inside him as he cursed under his breath. Nikolai stood and

    Five years later:“I think you just have a problem!” Julina said angrily.“How can I not when you keep finishing the food before it goes where it’s supposed to go?” Caspian shot back.“That's not true!” Juliana defended herself as she looked at Kiana who looked down, she looked at Joane who suddenly wanted to grab her phone.Juliana scoffed in disbelief as she watched her best friends look anywhere but her as if siding with her husband. “I think it’s true but Uncle Caspian doesn’t seem to mind, he loves you!” Natalia said as she grabbed the cookie jar that Juliana was holding onto.They were at Juliana and Caspian’s house where they were celebrating their daughter’s second birthday.

    Joane sat at the kitchen table, cradling a steaming mug of coffee in her hands. The aroma filled the room, but she hardly noticed it as her mind wandered. The weight of her sister's illness had been pressing down on her for weeks, making every moment feel like an eternity. She took a sip, as she searched for any donor on the website that Angela had told her about.Her phone buzzed on the table, jolting her out of her thoughts. She picked it up, seeing the name "Agness" flash on the screen. Her heart skipped a beat as she answered the call."Hello?" Joane's voice was shaky.For the past two weeks, that was the case with Natalie, she was getting worse and they were running out of time. Every time her phone rang and it showed “Agness” Joane would hold her breath in the hope that it wasn’t news of her sister’s death."Joane, it's Agness. You need to come to the hospital immediately. Natalia's condition has worsened, this might be her last few moments. You can come and say your goodbye.” S

She hugged her and they cried together that day. After Isabella’s arrest, Joane had visited her discreetly and injected her with slow poison, seeing Isabella in tears and begging for her life made her feel better about her child and John, someone she loved like family who were unjustly taken away from her. It somehow made her feel like they were avenged. Even though it would never feel the void, knowing justice was served made it easier to live with. *******Nikolai had decided to take Joane out for some air and they were on a yacht. It was just them and the captain and seeing her smile again put a smile on Nikolai's face too.It had taken some time for him to move on from the betrayal but he had eventually forgiven Micheal

    The moment that Nikolai packed his car, he saw Isabella from his rearview mirror and informed Arthur to be on stand-by. When he stepped out and she asked him to throw the phone in the water, he pressed the SOS button to inform Arthur of how serious the situation had turned out to be.Arthur took the signal and with the help of Kayden’s great hacking ability, he was able to find Isabella’s car through every street camera. When they drove to their destination, Cade tagged along to help Arthur because he too had been searching for Isabella over the crimes she had done with Annabel.Nikolai’s pulse raced as the sound of sirens grew louder, the distant wail piercing through the tense atmosphere. Isabella's eyes darted around in a mix of panic and fury. Her henchmen exchanged uneasy glances, unsure of their next move.“Damn it,” Isabella hissed again, her grip on the gun tightening. “We need to move. Now!”But when she noticed they were surrounded, she got Confused and was unsure of where

    Nikolai’s head throbbed as he slowly regained consciousness. The dull ache intensified with each heartbeat, and he groaned, attempting to move but finding himself restrained. As his vision cleared, he realized he was tied to a chair in a dimly lit warehouse. The air was thick with the smell of dust and oil, and a single, flickering overhead light cast long shadows on the concrete floor.Panic surged through him as he remembered the last thing he heard—Joane’s scream. He struggled against his bindings, feeling the rough ropes cutting into his wrists. Every fiber of his being ached to find her, to ensure she was safe.A soft whimper caught his attention, and his eyes darted around the room. He saw her in the corner, barely illuminated by the weak light. Joane was lying on the cold floor, her hands and feet bound, her face pale and streaked with tears. Anger and fear surged through him, giving him a boost of energy to fight against his restraints.“Joane!” he called out, his voice hoars

    “It’s good to see you,” Leo said as Nikolai walked in.He found his mother sitting silently and wondered what made her extra low. Even after what had happened, Marjory wasn't the type not to jump when she saw her son so something felt off and he was going to speak to her,After talking to Leo.“I don’t have much time, so let’s get to the point,” Nikolai said.Leo cleared his throat as he eyed his son. Isabella had not told him what she had done with Joane but only told him to force Nikolai to marry her and because he wanted to be with Katherine, he gladly accepted to do so.“I’ve set the date for you and Isabella. You didn’t break off the engagement publicly as planned so they still think you’re together. This is your chance to make things right.” Leo said but didn’t get a chance to say the next words as Nikolai’s fist met with his cheek and made him stumble backward while grabbing his side of the face in pain.“What the hell!” He shouted.“Nik!” Marjory stood but didn’t even bother t

    Nikolai paced the length of his office, his phone pressed to his ear. He had been trying to reach Joane for hours, but all his calls had gone unanswered. Worry gnawed at him, each unanswered ring heightening his anxiety.“Does she hate me that much?” He mumbled under his breath.Nikolai didn’t want to call Arthur because he felt like he was already putting his friend in an awkward situation by making him the middleman. He tried to deal with their problem on his own.After trying again, he decided to first reach out to Micheal in case he knew something. Who picked up on the second ring.“Hi.” He answered, “Do you need me for anything?”Nikolai froze for a few seconds. He had been thinking about what he had said to him and a part of him felt guilty because Micheal may not have told him he was his father, but he stood by him through it all, including in moments that he was too ashamed of talking about. Nikolai had a great relationship with Leo but it got stained after the day he caught h

    Joane's brow furrowed in confusion. "What plan?"Isabella rolled her eyes, her expression turning cold and irritation evident on her face "Oh, you don’t know anything do you?” But she didn’t wait for a response when she continued while she paced around, "You see, my dear, this all started long before you came into the picture. My father was supposed to take over the Cooper Group. It was his birthright, and my birthright was to Marry Nikolai so we could be reunited as a family. Then you came along and ruined everything!"Joane struggled against her bindings, trying to understand what she had just heard but it wasn’t making any sense to her, having slept in a chair didn't help her body ache either but she remained focused on getting the confession out of Isabella, "Your father? What does he have to do with this? And how is marriage a birthright?" She half laughed at how ridiculous Isabella sounded. "Leo Cooper is my father. You dumb ass, and Nikolai is my soulmate.
