“Sir now is not a -” Kai’s voice was cut off by an angry Henry who passed him, ignoring his warning. Easton was in a terrible mood and wanted to be left alone as he thought about the previous night's events. A daughter.Scarlet had a daughter and he wasn't aware. How much didn't he know?He was scrolling through the pictures he had taken of her when the door to his office burst open with a loud bang. He looked up, unflinching, to see his father, Henry Black, marching in with a thunderous expression. “Good morning to you too, Dad,” Easton said dryly, setting his tablet down. Henry didn’t respond. Instead, he slammed a folded newspaper onto the desk in front of Easton. The bold, glaring headline read: [COOPERATE SCANDAL: LEADING DESIGNER AT BLACK ENTERPRISE ARRESTED FOR THEFT]Easton’s eyes flicked down to the article, his jaw tightening.It slipped his mind that such a thing would happen. But what angered him was how quickly they got the news out. He had been at the station per

“Hello?” Scarlet answered, hoping it was a mistake. “I really hoped I wouldn’t have to speak to you again.” The voice drawled, coldly.“The feeling is mutual. What do you want?” Scarlet asked, feeling like she was carrying burdens on her shoulders. “You know exactly what I want. Your hands must be full, so let's not waste each other's time.” “Last time you promised me you wouldn't force him to get involved yet a month didn't even pass and you dragged him right back to hell.” Scarlet seethed. “Shhhhhhhh” a voice behind her whispered harshly. Scarlet mouthed an apology and walked out of her workplace and took an elevator to the rooftop. “You're pretty dense, aren't you? You caused this. You messed up my family and now you want to turn my son against me. Is that your plan? To ruin my family?”“I don't think the mess you have with your son is my fault. Just man up and fix your relationships. The deal was for me to leave Easton so you wouldn't bother his freedom. I know you forced hi

. “I traced it. The name of the reporter behind the malicious article is Alison Kane. She works for The Daily Post.” Kai announced to Easton black.It had been hours since he walked out on Scarlet and his mind still hadn’t settled. He was wrong all this time? Why hadn’t he sensed the lie?Guilt gripped him like a vice as he wondered if Micheal would have been alive had he not easily given up on Scarlet.“We were supposed to meet.” Scarlet’s voice echoed in his mind. “But he didn’t show up. He sent me a text.” The words kept echoing in his mind like a loop.That wasn’t like Micheal. If there was one thing he was, it was noble, and never broke his promises. So if he had changed his mind then he would have still met her and told her in person unless….“Sir?” Kai called him, breaking his line of thought.“Hmmm?” Easton responded, looking up.“Is something bothering you?” Kai asked.“No. Yes. But I’ll tell you about it later. Did you find what I asked you to?” He threaded his fingers as he

“So,” Easton began, his voice calm but dripping with menace, “you’re the mastermind behind this little fiasco?” His piercing gaze bore into Jade as if he could see every lie she had ever told. Jade froze in place, her laughter dying instantly as Easton’s imposing figure stepped into the room. The icy coldness of his presence was suffocating, and Alison, standing behind him, avoided her gaze and kept her eyes on the floor.“Easton.” Jade forced a laugh. “I didn’t know you were visiting today. You could have just called me, and I would have come over."“How nice of you.” Easton responded sarcastically before turning to Alison, “Here we are, I want Jade to hear the great news you shared with us a few minutes ago.”Alison’s face paled, and she swallowed as she responded, “She was the one who gave me the tip and the pictures to post.”“Whose pictures, Alison?” Easton asked. Jade glared at Alison in warning but Alison had to pick her enemy and Easton wasn’t an option. “Scarlet Frost.”Ea

Jade wiped the tears from her cheeks, her body trembling—not from fear, but from a seething rage bubbling inside her.Alison betrayed her. She clenched her hands into fists itching to make Alison pay but had to wait for her father to speak. “Why are you here, Dad?” She asked. Her father, James, stood at the far end of the room, his hands clasped behind his back, his expression twisted with disgust. He spun on his heel and glared at her, his voice like ice."You are a disgrace, Jade," he hissed. "You’ve had every advantage, every resource handed to you, and yet you’re still incapable of achieving the one thing I asked of you: securing Easton Black."Jade straightened, her fists clenching. "I didn’t see you lifting a damn finger to help me! All you ever do is criticize and throw orders like you’re some puppet master. Maybe if you actually did something—""Shut up!" James’s voice thundered through the room, silencing her instantly. He stepped closer, his face inches from hers, his sne

“You seem like you’ve seen a ghost, Mrs. Johnson! Is it a shock to you that I have a daughter?” Easton stood to his full height with Jasmine in his arms. “What? No! No..” Mrs Johnson laughed nervously, “It’s just that her skin-” “Her mother is brown-skinned, so she takes after her. Not that it’s any of your business.” Easton drawled. “Of course! Of course, my apologies. Mr. Black.But if I may? Why is she registered as Jasmine Frost?” The old woman was still shaking and her voice sounded like she was standing in cold weather making her shiver while she spoke. Instead of responding to her question, he turned to Jasmine, “Why are your eyes red? Did something happen?” Jasmine nodded, “They put me out of today’s performance because-” “Mr. Black, If I may.” Mrs Johnson jumped in before Jasmine could finish, “You see, the board was concerned with the articles about her mother..uhm.” She paused, “You know the one where she was arrested and other things! Of course, I didn’t believe

The meeting has been canceled. Mr. Black is in another meeting.” Kai announced. Everyone exchanged looks, wondering what was going on. Easton never missed meetings. In fact, he was the first to arrive so this was new and strange. “It must be something serious or important for him to miss a meeting.” Amanda said while standing up. Everyone followed suit, and soon Scarlet was left alone in the boardroom. That was when she looked up from her documents. She dialed Aria’s number, who declined and sent a text instead. ARIA: [ Jasmine is about to go on stage. Talk later.]“Maybe if I rush there, I can make it in time!” Scarlet mumbled as she grabbed her things and ran out of the boardroom. Scarlet's heels clicked against the polished floor as she hurried down the hallway, her heart pounding in her chest. She had never been late to any of Jasmine’s events before, and the thought of missing her daughter’s big moment made her stomach churn. This was her first big performance, and she did

“What do you think you're doing? Is this some stupid joke to you?” Scarlet fumed.“Scarlet-” Easton began, but she cut him off.“I told you she's not your daughter! Do you want DNA to prove it? I can gladly give you a strand of her hair. That's a five year old, and you're starting to confuse her! Leave her alone. What goes on between us ends there. She's off limits!” Scarlet let it all out in one breath. “Why can't I be a part of her life too? I don't care if she's my blood or not. As long as she's your daughter, I wanna be a part of it.” Easton shrugged, but his behavior only confused her even more. What the hell was wrong with him?She expected him to call her a whore. Call her out on how she must have spread her legs for more money but here he was saying things that made no fucking sense. Reaching over on her tiptoes, she stretched her arm so the back of her hand could feel his temperature. Maybe he was hallucinating. As her hand lingered against Easton’s forehead, he furrowed

Ten years later…The Black estate was alive with laughter and warmth, a stark contrast to the cold, intimidating mansion it had once been. “It wasn’t me!” Michael Black, once known for his gruff and no-nonsense demeanor, had long since abandoned any illusion of control in his household. He stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, sipping his morning coffee, and watching the chaos unfold in the garden below. His ten-year-old daughter, Sophia, a whirlwind of energy with her mother’s stubbornness and his sharp mind, was currently chasing her younger brother, Eli, around the backyard. Eli, at six years old, was just as mischievous as his sister, but with a charm that let him get away with just about anything—especially with his mother. Vivian had always been a force to be reckoned with, but as a mother, she was even more terrifyingly devoted. Michael smirked as he watched her from the window. She was standing with Scarlet, laughing as she scolded Sophia for attempting

“What is going on?” Vivian asked, her voice laced with curiosity as Michael carefully led her outside, his large hands covering her eyes. “Just trust me,” he murmured near her ear, his deep voice sending a familiar shiver down her spine. Vivian huffed but didn’t argue. She could feel the cool evening breeze against her skin and the soft sound of music in the background. The scent of roses filled the air, mingling with something delicious—her stomach grumbled in anticipation. Finally, Michael stopped his hands slowly slipping away from her face. Vivian blinked as her vision adjusted, and when she finally took in what was before her, her breath hitched. The backyard had been transformed into something straight out of a dream. A large mattress covered in rose petals was nestled under twinkling fairy lights, and a beautifully set dinner table stood nearby, illuminated by the soft glow of candles. A huge screen was set up, ready to play what she assumed was one of their favorite

The grand estate was transformed into a dream-like setting, decorated in soft hues of pink and blue. Fairy lights twinkled in the trees, and elegant floral arrangements adorned every corner of the sprawling garden. A large "Baby Black" banner hung over the beautifully arranged dessert table, where an assortment of sweets and a magnificent tiered cake waited to be cut. Michael had spared no expense, ensuring the event was perfect. Vivian, of course, had demanded something extravagant, and he had gladly complied. Vivian stood in the center of it all, glowing, her six-month baby bump accentuated by a flowing satin dress that curved just below her bust. She had chosen a shimmering gold gown, refusing to blend into the pink and blue theme. Her hair had been turned into soft curls, and her eyes sparkled with excitement. Michael, ever the grumpy billionaire, stood beside her in a white shirt and black pants, looking both inpatient and ridiculously handsome. Vivian had complained a

Michael unlocked the door to their home. A cake in one hand and flowers in another.His mind still running through his conversation with Easton. Foot rubs, space, asking what she needed—it all felt a little… too simple. But he’d try. He needed to try. The moment he stepped inside, he was hit with the scent of freshly baked cookies. He paused, taking a slow breath. His heart rate quickened. Was she really baking? Vivian didn’t exactly strike him as the domestic type. His curiosity led him further into the house, and that’s when he saw her. Vivian stood by the kitchen counter, a wide grin on her face, clearly waiting for his reaction. Her apron was askew, flour streaked on her cheek, but she looked happier than he’d seen her in days. “Michael!” she exclaimed, her voice laced with excitement. “I made cookies! I thought you’d like them.” “Really? I got you your cake and some flowers.” Micheal responded, hesitation filling his voice as he searched for a reaction.Vivian’s smil

Michael sat across from Easton at a secluded café, nursing a cup of coffee. His eyes were bloodshot, and his hands kept fidgeting as if he had no idea what to do with them. His mind was racing, but he was at a complete loss. Easton sat back in his chair, eyes scanning the menu as if Michael wasn’t about to have a mental breakdown in front of him. Finally, he looked up, raising an eyebrow as he studied his older brother. “You look like shit,” Easton said with a smirk, clearly not concerned with Michael’s state of mind. Michael glared at him. “You always have a way with words, don’t you?” Easton chuckled and leaned forward, folding his arms across his chest. “So, what’s going on? The great Michael Black losing his cool over a pregnancy?” Michael huffed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. “I can’t do anything right, Easton. She cries all the time, and I don’t know how to handle it. Everything I do seems to upset her. I just want her to be happy.”Easton raised

Michael’s grip tightened on his pen as his phone vibrated again. He ignored it. For the past thirty minutes, Vivian had been bombarding him with messages—most of them utterly useless. Vivian: [Where’s the cup?]Michael: [Kitchen.] Vivian:[Where are the plates?]Michael: [Same place as the cups.] Vivian:[Should I bring you lunch?]Michael: [No.]Vivian:[Why not?]Michael inhaled sharply, fighting the urge to rub his temples. He was in a high-stakes meeting with top executives, discussing a billion-dollar deal, and his wife was acting like a toddler. They had moved into a new home because she hated penthouses and apartments. So he had built her a house she could turn into a home but now he was regretting having had everything done. He should have let her decorate to keep her busy. Another buzz. Vivian:[What are you doing?] Michael clenched his jaw. [Working.]Vivian: [Boring. Want me to send you a funny picture?]He didn’t reply. Two seconds later— Buzz.He g

6 months later….“Vivian, please! You have to talk to your husband!"Vivian held the phone away from her ear, staring at it like it had personally offended her. She sighed, reclining further into the oversized armchair, her silk nightgown draping over her six-month belly. Her father’s frantic voice continued. “He’s taken everything! The company, the house—do you hear me? I have nothing left! Your sister's savings for her tuition!" Vivian swirled the fresh orange juice in her glass, utterly unimpressed. “Mmm. That does sound like a problem.” "Vivian Chen!”“It's Mrs Black. Don't make me lose my temper this morning.”“Right. Right. You see you're his wife make him reverse it!” Vivian had no idea what Micheal had done but she was bored and would enjoy every moment of it. She sighed dramatically. "Oh, I’m sorry. I should be more understanding. After all, when I needed help, everyone rushed to my aid, didn’t they? Oh wait—no one did.” "This isn’t funny! Tell Michael to stop this

The room felt impossibly small despite how grand the ceremony was. Vivian’s pulse thundered in her ears as the priest began speaking, his voice a distant sound compared to the storm of emotions within her.So this was happening. Instead of being sold to an old hag, she was now marrying a stranger who she had a one night with. It's not the best option, but it's definitely the lesser evil. Michael’s hand remained wrapped around hers—firm, warm, unshaking.He looked like he was sure about this. Calm and collected while her mind was going wild, and she was about to go insane from the number of thoughts that were spinning in her head. Doubts. Fear. Uncertainty. He had always been a mystery, with a strong aura she folded to. Yet, standing here, the certainty in his eyes sent a shiver down her spine. This was real.The priest cleared his throat. "The couple has chosen to exchange personal vows. Michael, you may begin."“We have?” Vivian blurted out, making everyone chuckle. It was li
