News of Sebastian employing his wife, Kaira, as his secretary spread through the company like wildfire. While most employees found the arrangement charming, primarily women who had entertained fantasies of becoming his mistress were furious to see her working there.

That weekend, Kaira decided to visit her family with Sebastian, who accompanied her. As he drove them to her family’s house, his hand found its way to her exposed thigh, idly stroking her skin while his eyes remained on the road.

“You’re awfully touchy, Mr. Ashford,” Kaira remarked, attempting to ignore the tingling sensation his fingers left behind or the way they seemed to creep higher beneath her skirt, distracting her from scrolling on her phone.

“And you, my dear, are quite responsive,” Sebastian replied, clearly noticing her discomfort but feigning innocence. Kaira shut her eyes and bit her lip, exhaling sharply as his fingers brushed the edge of her underwear, all while he kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead

    “Why don’t you have any interest in my father’s company?” Kaira asked, her tone curious. “I mean, my father’s company is influential too. Not as powerful as yours, but still...” She trailed off, recalling how Mathias had asked her to convince Sebastian to consider a partnership. Sebastian smirked, his hands resting on her waist as she straddled him. “Are you trying to convince me, princess?” he teased, his voice laced with amusement. “Of course not!” Kaira rolled her eyes. “That’s the last thing I’d want. Asking you to partner with them would be like handing them a golden ticket after all the cruelty they’ve shown me. I was just curious what makes you so uninterested in the company?” Sebastian’s expression turned serious. “Knowing your father took over the company that should have rightfully been yours disqualifies him from working under me. Besides,” he added with a cold edge to his voice, “your father is a very corrupt businessman.” Kaira blinked, her curiosity piqued. “Corr

    Mathias's face lit up as sat on his office desk. "I sealed the deal, Kaira. Ashford has agreed to partner with us," he announced triumphantly. Kaira sitting in front of him gave him a faint smile, a calculated gesture masking the growing exhaustion she felt from pretending to care about her family’s ambitions.“You’ve finally done something worthwhile for the family,” he continued, oblivious to the lack of warmth in her response. “This decision will make them see you in a better light.”No thanks, no acknowledgment. just entitlement, as always. Kaira’s lips curved into a sardonic smile as he carried on, speaking as though it was her duty to serve him.“It’s fine, Father,” she said, her tone calm but distant. “Like you’ve always said, family helps one another.”She wanted this conversation over as quickly as possible. Being summoned to the company, a place she hadn’t set foot in since childhood only reminded her of why he was keeping her close. The office wasn’t nearly as grand as Ashf

    “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

    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

    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

    “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

    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.

    “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.

    “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
