Another scandal involving Evelyn had taken over the internet. This time, photos showed her walking into a hotel suite with several men. While her face wasn’t visible in any of the photos, the back of her head and her smile gave her away. It wasn’t just one photo—there were many, showing her meeting different business associates at the same hotel. The evidence was all over the media, and Kaira wondered how her family would handle this mess. She knew the company would take a big hit, but she didn’t care. Her father had taken what should have been hers, and if Evelyn’s actions ruined the company, it would only serve them right.

The sound of her phone ringing pulled her from her thoughts. She was lounging on the couch, barely paying attention to the TV. She sighed when she saw the caller ID—her father. Letting it ring a few times, she finally picked up, already bracing herself for the conversation.

“Hello?” she said calmly.

“Kaira, where are you? Have you seen the news?” Mathias’s voice w

    Everywhere buzzed with preparations for the elusive bachelor Sebastian’s upcoming party—though ‘bachelor’ no longer seemed an accurate title. Everyone wanted to be invited, with those left out deemed unworthy of such wealth and influence. Sebastian hosted a household party twice in a year to honor his business allies, yet securing an invitation grew more challenging each time. Invitations were not simply handed out, they were a sign of importance, a symbol of access to a network of power, money, and influence.“Have you sent out the invitation to my family?” Kaira asked, standing at the kitchen counter in an apron, chopping vegetables. She wanted to prepare a special meal for Sebastian to show her gratitude for his constant support.Sebastian slid his arms around her from behind, resting his head on her shoulder as he pressed a kiss to her neck. “Yes, princess,” he murmured against her skin, his voice low and warm, sending a shiver through her.Meanwhile, the Blackwoods were stunned t

    “What took you so long? You know how important this event is!” Mathias snapped as Kaira joined her family in the driveway. What they didn’t know was that she had left an hour earlier, keeping an eye out for their departure while she waited in a small coffee shop nearby. She had called her father the moment she saw their car pass by.Kaira narrowed her eyes and replied coolly, “I’m sorry for being late.” Her gaze shifted to the rest of her family, who were too mesmerized by the grand mansion in front of them to even acknowledge her—not that they ever did.“You’re always complaining that we don’t love you, and now, when we go out of our way to include you, you’re still not satisfied,” Mathias said, his voice dripping with insincerity. The memory of his cruel words from just last week lingered in her mind, though his current performance suggested none of it had ever happened.Straightening his suit, Mathias adjusted his tie, determined to look his best. Claudia, Evelyn, and Julian follow

    Warning: Contains mature content aheadKaira stood at the door, a big smile on her face as she bid the guests farewell. Each congratulation felt like a small victory, though she hid her feelings well. Beside her, Sebastian stood close, his hand resting firmly on her waist, making it clear they were a team.The Blackwoods were the last to leave, walking slowly toward them. They looked uncomfortable, realizing their plans had backfired. Instead of gaining the upper hand, they had learned something shocking. Mathias regretted the way he had treated Kaira. If he’d known the truth—that there wasn’t any old man in her life but someone powerful by her side, he would have acted differently.“Kaira,” Mathias said softer than normal, once all the other guests had left, leaving just the family behind.“Father,” Kaira replied in the same quiet tone, though there was a hint of satisfaction in her voice. She couldn’t help but think how true it was, money really was power.Mathias glanced between Ka

    Kaira woke up to the delicious smell of breakfast coming from the kitchen. She stretched and glanced at the empty spot beside her. Memories of last night came rushing back, making her cheeks flush with heat. Ignoring the slight soreness between her legs, she got out of bed and pulled a robe from the wardrobe to cover herself. The sound of the door opening caught her attention. Sebastian walked in, smiling brightly as he carried a tray of food. “You’re awake, princess,” he said, setting the tray on the bedside table.He walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her deeply. “I haven’t brushed my teeth, Seb,” Kaira mumbled when he pulled back. He chuckled. “I don’t mind, princess. You still taste perfect.” “Did you sleep well?” he asked, gently brushing her hair from her face. “I did,” Kaira said with a small smile. “I’m just a little sore.” Sebastian’s grin turned playful. “You weren’t complaining when you were screaming my name last night.” “Sebastian!”

    Kaira stood by the couch, watching her family walk into the living room. They seemed to believe that she had forgotten everything they had done to her and that being married to Sebastian made them one happy family now. Her father had called earlier, saying they missed her and wanted to visit. Since it was the weekend, She agreed because Sebastian was home with her. “Oh, Kaira, we’ve missed you so much,” Claudia gushed, pulling her into a hug. But her expression showed her true feelings, she couldn’t hide the dislike. If only they knew there was no point pretending. Kaira already knew how they really felt about her and Sebastian whom they put up the pretense for was well informed of their attitude. “I missed you too, Mother,” Kaira replied with a mocking smile as she pulled away. “Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood.” Sebastian said, standing beside Kaira with an unimpressed look. “Oh, please, we’re family now. You should call me Father,” Mathias said with a grin. “Of course

    "How could you be this cruel?" Julian yelled as he stormed into the room. Evelyn turned to him, her face filled with confusion. Julian’s anger was obvious, and she couldn’t understand what had made him so upset."Why are you shouting, baby?" Evelyn asked, her voice soft, her confusion genuine or at least it seemed to be. Her question only made Julian angrier."You really have the nerve to ask that?" he snapped. "You’re unbelievable, Evelyn. Truly despicable." His dark, furious eyes locked onto hers, and she felt a chill run down her spine. She had never seen him like this before.Evelyn opened her mouth to speak, but before she could say a word, Julian slammed a file onto the table. The sound startled her, and she hesitated before picking it up. When she opened it, her face went pale. Inside were photos of her and their doctor, taken recently during a secret meeting. She had asked the doctor to keep quiet after he warned her that Julian was starting to get suspicious.Evelyn bit her l

    Evelyn stormed into Kaira’s house, her face full of anger. Had she told Kaira she was coming? No, she hadn’t. Kaira had been enjoying a peaceful morning until James, her butler, informed her that Evelyn was at the door. Amused, Kaira had a good idea why her sister was there, though she pretended not to.“Good morning, sister,” Kaira greeted in her usual teasing tone. She even stood up to hug Evelyn, but Evelyn pushed her away. Smirking, Kaira sat back down and picked up her coffee. “What’s wrong, Evelyn? Why are you so angry and showing up in my house so early?” she asked, clearly enjoying herself.“You’re awful,” Evelyn spat, her hands clenched into fists.Kaira raised an eyebrow and placed her cup back on the table. “Awful? Me?” she replied, pretending to be offended.“You’ve got Sebastian wrapped around your finger, but you’re still after Julian. That’s why you’re trying to ruin my marriage!” Evelyn shouted.Kaira didn’t look bothered at all. Instead, she tilted her head and said,

    Kaira and Sebastian arrived home at dawn, the earlier excitement of her time with Nora replaced by an awkward silence. The ride back had been so quiet she could hear every little sound, and though Sebastian had a faint smile on his face, she could feel the tension between them. It made her uneasy, like she was walking on eggshells.Once home, Sebastian moved through their shared space with an air of detachment, his silence gnawing at her. The emotional distance stung, and Kaira’s chest tightened with sadness.“Are you mad at me?” she finally asked, breaking the silence as she watched him take off his suit. Without looking at her, he replied with a sly tone, “No, princess. I’m just thinking about how to show you how much you mean to me in a way you won’t forget.” Her cheeks flushed at his teasing words, and she bit her lip before standing and walking over to him. Wrapping her arms around his back, she rested her head against him. “I’m sorry, Seb,” she said softly. Sebastian smile

    Julian showed up in court, just as Sebastian had planned. Mathias hadn’t responded, proving he was too greedy to let go of the contract. But Mathias had no idea he was walking right into Sebastian’s trap. Sebastian handed Julian a bill for $20 million—a ridiculous amount meant to force the Blackwoods, desperate to avoid scandal, to pay. The case had turned public opinion in Kaira’s favor, and the media now saw her as the true victim. People even dug up Julian’s past, uncovering his relationship with Kaira, his later marriage to Evelyn, and how the family had ignored Kaira for years.“Please, Kaira, lower the bill,” Mathias begged over the phone. He had already asked her to drop the case, but she refused.“I won’t, Mr. Blackwood,” Kaira replied firmly. “I’ve told you what I need. Pay up, or I’ll make sure Julian goes to jail. I doubt you’d want that, would you?” Her tone was sharp, full of satisfaction. She remembered begging them for basic needs once, and they never listened.“Why are

    Claudia returned from Sebastian’s home, her heart pounding with the weight of her actions. She prayed silently that neither Mathias nor Evelyn would uncover her schemes. Entering the house cautiously, she attempted to slip into her room unnoticed but froze when she found Evelyn standing in front of her door.“Why are you sneaking around, Mother? What have you done this time?” Evelyn asked, arms crossed. Her mind was already preoccupied with solving the problem surrounding Julian, and the last thing she needed was another complication.Claudia feigned irritation, masking her fear. “What?! Why would you assume I’ve done anything wrong, Evelyn?”Evelyn smiled knowingly, she could tell her mother was lying. Years of scheming with her mother had made her an expert in recognizing Claudia’s lies. “I don’t know, Mother. Why don’t you enlighten me?” Evelyn pressed, her tone serious.Claudia gulped but quickly masked her nervousness with indignation. “You have no right to interrogate me like th

    “Nice to have you, Mrs. Blackwood,” Sebastian said with a stoic expression, his piercing gaze fixed on Claudia. It was a Saturday, and he was home when his mother-in-law unexpectedly called, insisting on checking up on them. Oddly, she’d first asked if Kaira was around, which immediately raised his suspicions. The lawsuit was only two days away, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that Claudia was here to convince him to drop it. “Oh, please, no need to be so formal, Sebastian. We’re family, aren’t we?” she replied with a chirpy tone, settling onto the couch as though she owned the place. Sebastian offered her a faint, sarcastic smile. “Yes, of course we are. What can I offer you?” he asked politely, standing in front of her like a sentinel. “Juice, preferably,” she answered, her eyes darting around the room like a thief surveying a target. She was clearly verifying his earlier claim that Kaira wasn’t home. And she wasn’t—Kaira had gone shopping with Nora after being persistently

    “Mrs. Ashford, you have a visitor,” Butler James announced, his tone as formal as ever.Kaira raised a brow, curious about who would visit her unannounced. She had been laying low for the past two days, avoiding the outside world since her last visit to the Ashford estate. She was determined not to be the cause of Sebastian losing everything he had worked so hard to build. Despite Sebastian’s insistence on keeping her at the company, Kaira was equally resolute about stepping away. The internet buzz surrounding the scandal had died down slightly, though whispers still lingered.“It’s Mr. Stone, in particular,” Butler James clarified.Kaira’s expression darkened instantly. Julian Stone. She hadn’t wanted to see his face ever again, not after everything he’d done. Yet, on second thought, her curiosity got the better of her. Why had he come all the way here?“Let him in,” she said, her voice cold and detached. Turning her attention back to the television, she sipped her wine, pretending n

    Julian was still recovering from the wounds he had sustained, but his heart was filled with hatred for Sebastian for putting him in such state, while also hating himself for allowing his wants surpass his mental reasoning to have harassed Kaira like that. He stared at the news which was headline, while he wanted Kaira all to himself, the news did him no good, because it was ruining his own reputation. He suspected Sebastian was the one who created such frenzy news so as to ruin him. “You see were all your crazy has landed you right?” Evelyn snapped angrily as she entered the room, holding a file in her hand. She was already over the edge because of headline news which was ruining Julian and Kaira’s reputation while skyrocketing hers and Sebastian’s. She won’t have cared about it if it were only Kaira involved but with Julian now in it, she wanted to clear the mess as soon as possible. “What do you want now?” He spat out, placing his phone down by the side table close to the bed.

    “Wake up, princess.” Sebastian whispered tapping Kaira who lay on the bed. He had just returned from work to find her asleep. There was no doubt she was tired from the whole stress and everything going on in her relationship with Sebastian. Kaira stirred awake, rubbing the sleep off her eyes as she stared at Sebastian now fully awake. “Sebastian.” She called out with a small smile as she sat up from the bed. She had glanced at the clock every one minute, waiting for him to return so they could finally talk. She had fallen asleep while trying to wait for his return so she could ease the turmoil in her heart. “Where you waiting for me, princess?” He asked casually, as though he had not snapped at earlier that day, while Kaira was happy he was back to his usual self as it seemed she also wondered if he couldn’t turn to a different person whenever they had a slight dispute. She took a good look at him to see he was dressed in his casual wear, seemingly ready to go out. Was he running

    Kaira woke up to chaos online. The internet was buzzing with rumors about the events of the previous night—but twisted into a lie. The story claimed Kaira had flirted with her sister’s husband, Julian, and even called him to a hotel. Sebastian was being praised as a hero for standing up to Julian, while Kaira was painted as a cheater. The photos online, taken from misleading angles, made it look convincing. Sitting on the couch, Kaira stared at the pictures in frustration. But underneath her anger was fear—did Sebastian believe the rumors? He hadn’t asked her about it and had left for work unusually early, before she even woke up. Normally, they left together, so his behavior felt like a sign he was upset. He’d also avoided her the day before, staying at his grandfather’s house and coming home late. “Louis?” Kaira called, shoving her phone aside. She was already dressed for work, her tone clipped. Louis quickly came in and gave her a polite bow. “Yes, ma’am?” The staff had noticed th

    Kaira stood in the hospital emergency room, arms crossed as she glanced nervously at the doors leading to the ER. Sebastian sat in the waiting area, his face unreadable, though his tense posture said everything. She silently hoped Julian would be okay. He might be a terrible person, but she didn’t want him dead—especially not because of Sebastian.The tense silence broke as Evelyn rushed into the hospital with the rest of the Blackwood family close behind. “Where is he?” she demanded sharply. Kaira had called them as a courtesy, letting them know Julian had been brought to the hospital after he passed out.“He’s in the ER,” Kaira said quietly, avoiding Evelyn’s sharp glare.“What happened?” Mathias asked, his eyes darting between Kaira and Sebastian. He looked confused to see both of them here, with Julian in such a state.Sebastian finally spoke, his voice calm but cold. “I beat him up,” he said flatly, showing no hint of regret.“What?” Evelyn and Mathias said at the same time, thei

    “Happy one-month anniversary, princess,” Sebastian murmured, his hands possessively wrapping around Kaira’s waist as he leaned in to peck her lips. She smiled warmly, returning the gesture with a lingering kiss. “Happy one-month anniversary to you too—and happy birthday, baby,” she replied softly, pulling back just enough to meet his gaze. It had only been a month since they got married, yet it felt like they had been together forever, their bond deep and unwavering.“Thank you, Princess. I have a present for you,” Sebastian said, stepping back from their embrace. Kaira raised an eyebrow, her lips curving into a playful smile. “Seb, it’s your birthday, not mine,” she teased, watching as he turned to the wardrobe. He retrieved something wrapped in a gift box and quickly hid it behind his back, igniting her curiosity.“What are you hiding?” she asked, moving closer in an attempt to catch a glimpse.“You’re being sneaky, Princess,” he chuckled, evading her attempts to peek. “It’s a surpr
