“Thank you.” Cullen kissed my cheek after I laid our son in his crib. “I never thought I'd be a father.”

“You only have flaws, Cullen. With the advancement of medical technology, what was once impossible has become possible,” I consoled.

Cullen smiled. He took my hand and led me out of our son's bedroom. I giggled as he pecked my lips before turning off the lights and closing the door. We walked to the other room, our bedroom.

My husband was the only man in the world who was patient with me. He chased after me, who wasn't interested in him at all. All the promises he made, he kept. It made me fall in love with him.

The man I wanted at the time was an heir to the biggest hotel company in the country. We broke up because he liked to cheat on me. I met Cullen while accompanying my boyfriend to various events.

Cullen knew my lover's bad habits. He told me everything, thinking I didn't know. His persistence melted my heart. Cullen comforted me when that jerk screwed another woman in his ap

    [Sinclair]I leaned back on the chair and closed my eyes. What had just happened was in my plan. One person proved that Joaquin's group wasn't as strong as people claimed. They had a weakness that one person managed to penetrate.Someone knocked on my door and opened it. “What are you doing?” Enzo protested. “Wesley is one of our best people. Why did you fire him?”“He confessed to everything he did,” I answered.“Joaquin is everyone's enemy. You should side with our people, not the enemy, Sin. You'll lose a lot of trust if you fire him,” he continued.“Do you doubt my decision?” I challenged him.Enzo stared at me thoughtfully. He furrowed his brow. “You always carefully think things through, but that doesn't mean you won't make mistakes.”“The time is near. I want to clean up from now on. My son will be home, and I'm sure many will seize the opportunity to hurt me through him,” I explained. “I need to start by cleaning up after my confidant.”“But, Sin. Wesley managed to defeat Joaq

    I ignored her and walked to the elevator. She was just an employee at my club, not my boss or lover. I had no obligation to answer her questions. The woman followed me. She strode beside me without saying a word.Neil stood between Felicia and me when we were in the elevator. I didn't understand why she followed us but allowed it. I turned left when we arrived at the destination floor. I stopped as Felicia stood before me.“So, the news is true. You and Darcy have a special relationship?” she asked with hurt eyes. “Sin, is that why you hired her at the club?”“Remember your position. You're just obeying my orders.” I walked past her after Neil stood nearby, blocking her from stopping me.“I refuse to train your girlfriend. Choose someone else to teach her,” she threatened.“I'll wait for your resignation letter today,” I said without stopping my steps.I entered Darcy's unit. A woman was drinking near the kitchen counter. She choked when she saw me, but I ignored her. I strolled to the

    The woman locked the door and then looked at me. She unbuttoned her blouse as she approached me. Her gaze, hip movements, and smile tempted me, but I felt nothing. She stopped before me after dropping her shirt on the floor.I didn't expect her to act that boldly. That instructor repeatedly showed her interest in me, but I ignored it. I thought she would understand that I only thought of her as an employee, nothing more. It turned out she didn't stop trying.“We've been together for a long time.” She glanced at my lips, then looked into my eyes to see my reaction. “I can make you happy, Sin. I know what you want.”I let her caress my cheeks and chest. It was as I expected. I didn't feel anything. Seeing her ample bosom and feeling it pressed against my chest had no effect whatsoever. Felicia stood on tiptoe, intending to kiss my lips.“If it's true, you should know I don't want you,” I said before her lips touched mine. “This is the last warning. You do it again, I'll fire you.”Her e

    [Darcy]Sinclair hated me. His eyes were blazing that night as he grasped my cheeks tightly. My whole body trembled, but I dared to face him. I didn't know what I had done to him in the past.I didn't remember being close to or knowing a man named Sinclair Wyndham. Looking at his face didn't remind me of anyone. He might have misunderstood me like Taylor. My cousin said I had many exes and slept with many young men.That accusation was weird. Did everyone judge me like that? What was wrong with having a boyfriend? I ended the relationship before getting into a new one with another. I didn't sleep with all my exes because only a few were genuinely affectionate towards me.“You guys are so wild. I heard you banging at dawn. Was that not enough for you to do it again in the morning?” Taylor teased. She leaned against the kitchen counter, enjoying a glass of orange juice.“Shut up, Tay,” I snapped.“Sinclair talked about marriage. He's serious about you. Your relationship was brief. Culle

    I scanned my surroundings, but the object I was looking for was nowhere to be seen. I wanted to check my face's condition. I could die if I lost my flawless face. Oh, God. I didn't want to be ugly like Heather.My heart pounded, deafening my ears. I held back the tears from falling from my eyes. I didn't want to cry in front of others, let alone before Sinclair. The itching and burning became more intense, making me worried.“You don't need a mirror. You should clean your face now.” Sinclair took my hand. He led me out of his office.I could see my face's condition in the mirror in the restroom. My whole body trembled at my reflection. My forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and jaw were reddish, so scary. I clenched my fists against the pain.What happened? I ate the food that Sinclair bought and that the club cafeteria provided. I used the makeup that I owned, not someone else's. Nothing out of the ordinary that I did before performing.Oh. Could it be? I glanced at the mask I was holding.

    [Sinclair]I held back my anger vigorously at the redness on Darcy's face. Someone had sown something dangerous into her mask or makeup. That woman must feel so uncomfortable and helpless. She was so frightened to see her reflection in the mirror.The doctor confirmed my guess. Her face's condition wasn't due to a food or drink allergy but the use of unsuitable makeup on her face. From the severity of her skin, harmful substances were mixed with her compact or moisturizer.I left Darcy while the doctor and nurse gave her first aid. I took out my phone from the inside pocket of my jacket. “Ask all the security guards to check Darcy's bag. Either her compact or moisturizer is mixed with a dangerous substance.“Then, have them check the dancers‘ and instructors’ bags and lockers. The culprit must be one of them. Only they know where Darcy's bags and lockers are. Do it neatly. I don't want the guests to see any commotion,” I ordered.“What happened?” Enzo asked.“Darcy's whole face is red

    I had finished breakfast when Darcy came out of the bedroom. She wore all black. Looking at her neat appearance, she was going somewhere. That woman was stubborn. She shouldn't have gone anywhere until her face recovered.However, I allowed her. Although she was mine, I had no right to control her life. Darcy owned her life. No human being liked to be restrained, not even me. She had today off and might have plans that couldn't be postponed.“I've finished eating. Why haven't you told me who ruined my face? Hurry up and tell me,” Darcy urged.I intentionally waited for her to finish eating, so my report wouldn't make her lose her appetite. “Take your medicine. Then, I'll tell you everything.”“You've been—” she protested.“ I mean it this time,” I said.Darcy grumbled as she took the medicine out of the bag. She took one tablet and swallowed it. “Tell me quickly,” she said.“There's a dangerous substance in your powder. The perpetrator mixed it in while you were dressing up, getting r

    [Darcy]I wore a hat, sunglasses, and a mask before exiting the car. Scott followed me to the entrance of the meeting room. I removed my head and face covering at the inspection but put it back on when the officer found out why I was wearing it.I sat down in the available chair. The place was quiet, unlike my visit on Saturday. There was only me in the large room. The door to the room opposite me was open. An officer entered and held the door open for a woman.My heart squeezed tightly at the blue bruises on the woman's cheeks. Her right eye was as red as blood, although it had faded. What prison was it? Why did the guards let another inmate beat up a prisoner every week? My mom could die before finishing her sentence.“Darcy, thank God you came,” Mom sobbed. "I thought you were angry with me and didn't want to come anymore. I'm glad to see you're okay."My eyes heated up, but I refrained from crying. Thankfully, I wore sunglasses. So, Mom couldn't see the water in my eyes. What happ

    Olivia secretly sent photos and videos of Keane at night. We didn't talk or text because I didn't want to make it difficult for her. Bridget forbade me to see my son. She must have forbidden the nanny to have anything to do with me.“Why are you holding the phone? Where's Olivia?” I asked worriedly.“I caught this damn nanny sending pictures and videos of Keane to you. How dare you tell her to do that!” Bridget accused.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm myself. Olivia couldn't get in trouble for secretly sending that message to me. I didn't want Bridget to fire and replace her with someone I didn't know.“Keane is my son, Bridget. I have a right to—” I said.“Keane doesn't have a stripper mom!” she screeched. “Stop bothering my grandson! I don't want you messing up Channing's good name. Enough, Darcy!”Bridget disconnected the phone just like that. My chest ached at the accusation. No, it didn't. It wasn't an accusation but a fact. I was a dancer, but I never performed n

    “Hi, Darcy,” the beautiful woman greeted me kindly.“Hi,” I replied in confusion.Lionel directed the servants towards the room behind the door closest to the entrance. I invited the woman to follow them. The maids placed box after large box on the floor, couches, and tables. Three of the woman's assistants joined us.“Would you like some tea?” Lionel asked politely.“Yes, please,” the guest replied. She turned to me. “Don't look at me like that, Darcy. Sit down. We should get to work so I don't have to pay my assistant overtime.”The three women chuckled at that. They took clothes from a large box and held them in front of their bodies. I gaped at the beautiful clothes. It had been a long time since I had witnessed such a sight.“I couldn't bring a model to show off these dresses, but I brought your size. I guarantee these will fit you.” The woman looked at my body. “You're still the same size, right?”“Irene, I can't afford this stuff,” I whispered. “And how do you know I'm here?”S

    There's a photo of Sinclair and I facing each other and holding hands. Another one was of our fingers pinning on our wedding rings. Looking at the picture taken without our knowledge, an idea popped into my head.I looked at the pictures carefully, looking for one suitable one to realize my plan. They were safe because no one could see either Sinclair or my face. If our photos accidentally spread, people could only speculate on the couple's identity.A picture caught my eye. I was putting a ring on Sinclair's finger. The angle was from my right hand. The engagement ring and wedding ring on my finger were visible. Those close to Sinclair would know he wore a titanium ring on his right thumb.I selected one of the numbers in my contacts and sent the photo. The woman must have been hysterical, knowing Sinclair was married to me. They knew each other first, but he preferred me to be his wife.“You have many enemies. Who else are you provoking?” Taylor glanced at my phone.“An ignorant wom

    [Darcy]“This yard is too exposed. You should talk at home,” Scott scanned around us. He signaled for my cousin and me to walk to the porch first.I complied. It was quiet, but that didn't guarantee there wasn't someone somewhere pointing a gun at me. We walked up to the front door. A man opened it. He smiled kindly at Taylor and me.Scott cleared his throat when the man frowned at him. “Lionel, let me introduce you. These are Darcy Wyndham and Taylor Bailey.”I extended my hand to the man. “Darcy Bailey,” I corrected.Lionel smiled as he returned my handshake. “Lionel Dupont at your service, Mrs. Sinclair Wyndham,” he said.Taylor chuckled. “Darcy Wyndham sounds sexier,” she teased.“Shut up, Tay,” I said irritably.“Would you like to see your room?” Lionel asked.“Not now. My cousin and I need to talk. Is there a room where no one will disturb us?” I looked around me.The house was magnificent and modern on the outside. The inside was equally fashionable. It looked like Sinclair rep

    “I'm not dealing with former employees.” I glanced at the door. “Is he waiting outside?” After Neil nodded, I continued, “Tell him to leave.”“Okay, boss,” Neil replied. He walked out of my office, but Wesley forced his way in.I knew he wouldn't give up that easily. Looking at his neat appearance and no facial injuries, he escaped Joaquin's house without fighting with his men. How could he do that? He came alone without a partner to protect him.“Boss, please listen to me first,” Wesley persuaded.“How dare you set foot in my office,” I said.“I'm not your employee anymore. I didn't violate the prohibition against club employees being in your main office,” he argued.Although people knew about my dirty business, they didn't discuss it. Employees and customers at Wyndham Finance didn't notice that SW Group was mine. And I wanted to keep it that way. I didn't want to lose customers who thought I funded the company with dirty money.“I can find that woman without your help.” I glanced a

    [Sinclair]Darcy was smart. She was used to dealing with cunning and manipulative people. It would have been easy for her to discuss a prenuptial agreement when she had the upper hand.However, I didn't let that happen. I teased and took that woman's mind off the prenuptial contract. Because she had so many problems, she had a hard time focusing her mind. She struggled between taking her son or saving her parents.I didn't expect her to choose George and Diana over Keane. Her parents were evil. They borrowed money and couldn't pay it back, plunging Darcy into the nightlife. Yet she chose to save those two criminals.“Four,” Darcy whispered. “That's enough, Sinclair.”“Sin,” I corrected.She didn't respond. I look at her face. She was fast asleep in my arms. I turned her to lie on her back. Her face shouldn't hit the surface of the pillow. Seeing that her skin wasn't red, the doctor's medicine was working.Her face was much better than on Sunday night. Had she not left the house on Mond

    “You'd better eat before we sign the contract. Mason and I had breakfast.” Sinclair glanced at the plate of food before me.“I'll eat in the car,” I refused.“Now,” he ordered.I sighed. Arguing with Sinclair was a waste of time. I quickly finished my breakfast. He or the waiter put a full breakfast menu on my plate, but I ate it in less than ten minutes.“Can we start now?” I asked after my mouth was empty.Mason placed a folder in front of me and Sinclair. “Please read the agreement carefully. I've revised it according to the results of your discussion,” he said.“We didn't discuss anything last night,” I complained.“I have included your conditions. Sin will protect your parents while in prison,” he reported.I was stunned. “Where are the conditions?” I asked.The contents of the agreement letter were the same as what I had read last night. So, I skimmed it, and nothing had changed. Only one part of Sinclair's obligations added up. He would protect my parents.I couldn't be with Ke

    I put the document and envelope on the table. “I've told you. I don't want to marry you. Go ahead and kill me or my son, but I won't be your wife,” I refused.“What do you want?” Sinclair asked.I pressed my lips together. The pounding of my heart was so loud it deafened my ears. Oh, my God. Sinclair knew how to control the situation the way he wanted to. Of course, I had many wishes that I would never be able to fulfill.I wanted my son back in my arms. I wanted my parents to serve their sentences in peace. I could get out of debt by selling the house Cullen gave me. But I couldn't do that. That house was his only gift.“I will only grant one wish. Nothing more,” Sinclair continued.“I—” I mumbled.Oh, my God. My whole body was shaking. I didn't know who to choose. My son was precious to me, and I feared for his well-being if we were away for too long. I also loved my parents. They only had me to help them escape the wicked people in prison.However, Sinclair only granted one request

    After storing my stuff in my locker, Lydia took me to the training room upstairs. I didn't know there was another practice room other than the one on the same floor as Sinclair's office. Remembering him, I realized that he didn't stay overnight.That was strange. Sinclair didn't miss a single night of sleeping at my place after we slept together. Did my facial state disgust him? I didn't care what he thought of my appearance, but I needed the money to pay off my debts.Dancing on weekends wouldn't do much to increase my income. The club's birthday had passed. Patrons wouldn't be as generous on a festive day when tipping me. Besides, they'd get tired of me if there were new dancers.“What's her name?” I asked.“Kirsten Green,” Lydia replied.I performed alone in my first four performances but was confident I could dance with other dancers. I was more experienced in group dancing than solo. I didn't mind sharing tips, especially since I only had thirty million dollars left.Raising twen
