KATE'S POV

Sitting in my office, I was flipping through some files when a knock on the door pulled me from my work. I looked up to see my assistant standing there, holding a bouquet of roses so vibrant they looked like they belonged in a dream. My mind went blank for a second as I stared at the flowers, taken completely by surprise.

"These are for you, ma’am," she said with a polite nod, handing them over before disappearing just as quickly as she arrived to give me some space.

I blinked, glancing down at the bouquet in my hands, still trying to process it. Who could have sent me flowers? Nestled among the roses was a small envelope, so I plucked it out and carefully opened it. Inside was a card, and written in elegant handwriting were the words:

“To the most radiant woman in the building, your beauty is matched only by your intelligence. I would be honored if you'd join me for dinner. Somewhere nice and cozy, away from hospital smells.- Greg.”

I chuckled as I read his words again, ha

    LIAM'S POVAfter a busy day today, I was lounging on the couch, scrolling through my phone, trying to catch up on a few emails when it buzzed.“Hello?”“Um… hi, Liam! It’s Susan… from the restaurant?” cane the voice at the other end.Ah, right. The girl from the restaurant. The one with that nervous laugh and doe-eyed expression every time I glanced in her direction. She must’ve finally worked up the courage to call me. I smiled, leaning back on the couch.“Suzy,” I said smoothly, letting her name roll off my tongue like I’d been expecting her call all day. “I was wondering when I’d hear from you.”“Oh! Well, I didn’t want to, you know, bother you too soon.” Her voice was breathy, a little timid, and I could almost picture her twirling her hair nervously on the other end of the line.“Don’t be silly. I wouldn’t have given you my number if I didn’t want to hear from you,” I said, dropping my voice a bit. The flattery was easy, almost automatic.There was a shy giggle from her end.“So,

    Instead of being even slightly affected, he just leaned back with that infuriating smile. “Is that so? Well, I think you're worrying about the wrong issues. Should I give you something new to worry about, since you have enough time for this?” His eyes gleamed with a hint of that arrogance that made me want to scream. "And might I remind you, Amelia, that you’re here on my terms. So maybe do well to know your place.”‘Know your place.’ As if he was some kind of king, and I was supposed to be grateful just to breathe the same air.I bit back a retort, knowing that arguing with him would get me nowhere. But as I walked away, I couldn’t help but feel pity for poor Susan. He's right though, how can she just throw herself at him so cheaply? It's not even up to 24 hours since he started flirting with her and now she's stale news.******AMELIA'S POVLater that day…It was just supposed to be a work lunch, a quiet meal to go over some details Liam wanted to discuss in a “better setting” outsi

    Greg's POVI made sure tonight was perfect. Every little detail had to be right because Kate well, she deserved that much. She had this sweetness about her, a kindness that I hadn’t seen in a long time. And if there was one thing I wanted, it was to make sure she had a good time, a night to remember.The restaurant was elegant but not overdone. Dim lighting, soft music, nothing too flashy or crowded. I wanted her to feel at ease, to see me as someone who could offer her a world outside of the bling lifestyle, a world where she could just relax and enjoy herself.In about ten minutes from our agreed meeting time, she walked in.“Hey” She greeted me with a shy smile. “Hope I can be pardoned for being ten minutes late?”“You're the boss and the boss is never late.” I beaned which made her smile widen.I pulled her chair out as she sat, watching as her cheeks flushed slightly. “Thank you,” she murmured, her voice soft and genuine. I smiled back, trying to keep it gentle. This wasn’t the t

    AMELIA'S POVAs I made my way to the golf club bar to grab drinks for the group, I was honestly relieved to escape for a few minutes. The whole golf course vibe was beginning to feel like a reality show. I took a deep breath, appreciating the quiet of the bar, and walked up to place my order.As I reached the counter, I signaled to the bar man to attend to me. While I was waiting for him to get the drinks ready, a man came to join me at the counter, casually dressed in a polo shirt that somehow looked expensive and well-tailored. He had a confidence about him, the kind that seemed effortless. His back was to me, but he was chatting with the bartender, flashing a grin that made the older man laugh. It was charming, I had to admit, but I was here first and I didn’t come here to socialize. I just wanted the drinks and to get back before Liam decided to make a scene about me taking too long.“Excuse me, what's taking so long? I've been here for about ten minutes.” I said impatiently.“Mad

    LIAM'S POVAfter a few rounds of beating Felix at golf, I went to sit down for a break.I drummed my fingers impatiently on the table, scanning the place for Amelia. She'd been gone longer than it should have taken to grab a few drinks, and I was really parched. My gaze flickered to the clock on my phone, and I felt a small spike of irritation rise within me. Where could she possibly be?Finally, I spotted her weaving through the crowd, balancing a tray of drinks in her hands and looking a little flustered. I raised an eyebrow as she reached the table, setting down the glasses carefully."Did you decide to brew the drinks yourself ?" I asked with mild sarcasm, though the curiosity was genuine. "What took so long?"Before she could answer, a voice came from just behind her."I was the cause."I looked up, my eyes meeting those of a man I hadn’t seen in a while. The faintest trace of surprise flickered within me, but I didn’t let it show. Instead, I kept my expression neutral, just star

    Although this was to be a friendly golf game, it was a lowkey competition. It was a match between the creme de la creme. They weren’t here to just play; they were here to win.Felix stood on the sidelines with a look of concentration, cheering Liam on at every shot, calling out words of encouragement and advice. He looked completely wrapped up in the game. Across from him, Hela was cheering just as loudly for the Prince, her eyes flashing every time Liam’s shot veered slightly off course. It was hard not to notice the way she would give him these pointed looks whenever he glanced her way. I could tell she was annoyed with him, though I didn’t quite know why. Maybe it was because of Sophie, the girl Liam had brought along, who was currently watching the game with a slightly bored look on her face. Liam had not even bothered to introduce her to Tristan.I, on the other hand, didn’t know where to put my support. Part of me wanted to root for Liam because he is my boss. But then there wa

    AMELIA'S POV When Liam gets worked up, it’s a different kind of entertainment altogether. I should probably feel bad about how much I was enjoying this, but honestly, watching him pace around his living room, muttering about the weather, of all things, was pure comedy.“It was the wind,” he said for the fifth time, pointing accusingly at nothing in particular. “It wasn’t a fair game. Every time I swung, the wind blew the ball off target. Did you see that, Amelia? The wind was against me.”I pressed my lips together, trying my absolute best to hold in the laugh that threatened to burst out. “The wind, huh?” I said, feigning seriousness. “Not Tristan’s skill or the fact that he beat you fair and square?”He shot me a glare, pacing to the other side of the room. “It wasn’t fair! Did you see his shot on the other hole? The wind actually helped him. It was like it was in his favor the entire time.”This time, I couldn’t stop myself. A laugh slipped out, and I quickly covered my mouth, try

    I tossed my phone onto the couch beside me, leaning back and crossing my arms. It was infuriating. She didn’t even seem to realize what she had, the opportunities she was being handed on a silver platter. I would’ve killed to be in her shoes, to have even a fraction of what she had. But no, Amelia is so dense, and she probably didn’t even appreciate it.Taking a deep breath, I picked up my phone again, staring at her face on the screen. My fingers hovered over the “like” button for a second before I swiped past the post entirely. Never!But as much as I tried to push it all away, the images stayed with me: her smiles, the ease with which she fit into a world I’d wanted badly. And the jealousy burned hotter than ever.I was still trying to distract myself with other things when I heard a knock on the door. I got up hesitant to see who was at the door. It was our neighbor from a few blocks away, Patrick. “Hi Sandra, is your sister home?” He asked with a bright smile.Seriously if I hea

How is this possible?" he asked, his voice laced with a mix of shock, disappointment, and emotional pain.I shook my head, feeling a sense of helplessness. "I don't know. I don't know how I fell in love with him. It just happened," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper.Felix's expression turned stern, his eyes blazing with a fierce intensity. "Then you have to undo it. You have to fall out of love with him. You will only end up getting hurt. You've seen what he's capable of doing. He doesn't care for anyone else except himself," he warned, his words dripping with conviction.I felt a pang of doubt, but a spark of hope still lingered within me. "What if he's changed?"

    Amelia's POV As I walked away from Liam's place, I couldn't shake off the feeling that lingered inside me. It was strange, because just yesterday, I thought I disliked him the most. But seeing him in that terrible state, with his wounds and his regretful eyes, had somehow changed everything. The way he spoke from his heart, with such sincerity and vulnerability, had touched me in a way I never thought possible.My heartbeat was dancing to a new tune, one that I had never felt before.

    I felt a surge of defensiveness, my voice rising in confusion. "What do you mean I'm the reason? Are you accusing me of being responsible for your condition?" I asked, my eyes narrowing slightly.Liam's expression softened, and he shook his head. "I'm not accusing you, Amelia. I'm thanking you," he said, his voice filled with sincerity.I was taken aback, my confusion deepening. "What are you talking about?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Liam's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze intense. "You opened my eyes, Amelia. You made me see how selfish I've been, even to people who loved and cared for me. Or is this not what you meant when you said I should consider how other people feel?" he asked, his voice filled with a hint of vulnerability.I was left speechless, my mind reeling from Liam's words. I had never expected him to listen to me, let alone take my words to heart.Finding my voice, I spoke up, my tone gentle. "I never really expected you to listen to me. And I definitely

    Amelia's POV "Poor soul," I whispered, feeling a deep sense of sympathy for Felix. I drew him closer to my body, trying to console him as he wept.Felix's body shook with sobs, and I held him tightly, trying to absorb some of his pain. "Well, you were bound to find out sooner or later," I said softly, trying to offer some comfort.Felix raised his head, his eyes red and puffy, and looked at me with a mixture of shock and hurt. "Wait, you knew about them?" he asked, his voice trembling.I felt a pang of guilt and nodded slowly. "Yes, I'm sorry."Felix's expression turned hurt, and he pulled away from me slightly. "Why didn't you tell me anything?" he asked, his voice laced with pain.I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of regret wash over me. "I'm sorry, Felix. I didn't know how to break it to you, and I didn't think you would believe me over your best friend and girlfriend. And to be honest, I was too scared to act. I was afraid of Liam's punishment."Felix looked at me, his eyes s

Though we were close he had never really called me before especially at this late hour so I wondered what could be wrong.I answered the call, and Felix's voice was like a punch to the gut. It was laced with pain and anguish, and I could tell he was struggling to hold back tears. My concern spiked, and I felt a surge of anxiety."Felix, what's wrong?"

Their faces twisted into scowls, and their voices dripped with venom."You still have the nerve to bring a man home, after everything we've told your father about you?" my stepmom spat, her eyes blazing with malice.My stepsister chimed in, her voice shrill with excitement. "Yes, you're so shameless! We've told dad about all your little escapades, and yet you still have the audacity to parade your patronizer in front of us!"I rolled my eyes, a calm smile spreading across my face. "You think you can frustrate me with your scheming and lying? You're just wasting your time. As long as I'm not doing what you're accusing me of, I'm fine. And soon enough, my father will know the truth – and he'll know who's been lying to him all along."My stepmom's face turned red with rage, and she took a step closer to me, her voice dropping to a menacing whisper.
