Upon hearing Alex's words, I suddenly realized I hadn't gone on social media while I was enjoying my vacation as I didn't want it to affect my mood.I took out my phone, but Alex quickly stopped me and said, "Ms. Jones, you won't be the CEO after tonight, so could you please approve my resignation l
The dress Nicholas had prepared for me wasn't inside the room.The hotel collaborated with over 200 brands, and the first floor was filled with different luxury shops. But when the butler brought me over, there wasn't a single person in sight."You can take your time to look around the place. Mr. Ha
Nicholas froze as the intense fire in his eyes slowly faded. With a wave of his hands, all of the attendants around us immediately left the luxurious room, leaving the two of us alone.Once he saw me sign the papers, Nicholas stood up and turned me around to face him. He looked at me with a dark gaz
Nicholas consoled me by gently patting my back. "What's wrong? Are you touched by my confession?"I sniffled and said, "Yes. I'm a little touched.""Did you think I would come back in advance to prepare all of this for you if I didn't? You're underestimating me. I could have done all of this through
My hands trembled as I took out my phone and looked for the photos of him sleeping with Claudia on our bed. I slammed my phone on the table before him and asked, "Or do you have the right to do so because you let her sleep in our bedroom on our bed!"Nicholas probably could not understand my sudden
Nicholas' white T-shirt was immediately stained red with blood. Claudia would alternate between crying apologetically and glaring at me with hatred. She had also begun laughing creepily.Upon hearing the ruckus, the attendants immediately rushed in and apologized. But if I hadn't asked them all to l
I seemed to have a connection with hospitals. Every time I felt like my heart had grown cold, the long hard hospital chairs would always accompany me.In the middle of the night, the sound of rushed footsteps immediately broke the peaceful silence within the hospital. It seemed that the Hawk family
Now, all of that was gone. But who could I blame for it all?At the end of the day, was I the one who had destroyed the relationship between the Hawk family? Or was Claudia the one who had ruined my marriage with Nicholas?Would a normal family have a sister who was obsessed with possessing their ow
Claudia had left, yet it still felt like someone was standing there. The tension of a silent standoff stirred something deep within me. But under the cover of darkness, whatever I couldn't hide would still remain unseen."Was it you?" Nicholas's voice carried no hint of emotion, and his gaze was unr
The journey from Jay Caldwell & Co. to Coral Villa wasn't long, taking less than half an hour.I kept refreshing the webpage, watching the situation unfold. The trending topics about Claudia and Nelson continued to drop in popularity. Someone was clearly working to bury the story."Tell the PR team
In Nicholas's mind, it seemed like I still loved him because I had his child.I could clearly feel that from the moment I revealed that Tabitha was his daughter, he became much softer."We're here," Douglas reminded me in a low voice, snapping me back to the present.Today, I was meeting with Yasmin
After finishing lunch, I asked Douglas to take me to Jay Caldwell & Co. I needed to discuss a few things with Yasmine.Nicholas stopped me in front of the car. "Can't you spare me just half an hour?"The wind was stronger today, and my words carried a coldness as I spoke."I think you should make th
Just as I was about to turn Nicholas down, the waiter knocked and brought in the dishes I ordered.I frowned. "Did you bring the wrong dishes? This isn't what I ordered."I was starving and had ordered butter-poached lobster tails, seared scallops, sous vide short ribs, and king crab legs with herb
I got into the car and saw Nicholas outside through the window, kicking at a patch of grass with a gloomy look on his face.Douglas glanced at me. "Ms. Jones, did you and Mr. Hawk make up?"Upon hearing that, I lifted my gaze and caught the confusion in his eyes through the rearview mirror. I shook
Christopher trembled as I stepped toward him. Although each of my steps was graceful and unhurried, they seemed to fill him with dread.At that moment, I felt like I was some kind of demon. Why else would it take so many bodyguards to hold Christopher down? I did not doubt that, if they let him go,
"Christopher?" I gasped.I had planned to slip away quietly, but Christopher's desperate cries were so loud they drew a crowd. It was then I realized Coral Villa looked the same as before, yet it had changed in so many ways. Otherwise, where did all these people come from?A guard in black kicked C
Nicholas needed some time alone, and my mood did not ease from the heavy pain as I pushed open the door.Just a door between us, and we were each steeped in our own pain."Ah! Ah!"The sound of a little voice pulled me from my thoughts. I practiced my smile twice before I leaned over the railing. "
