Laird stared at me in silence. His face was calm, illuminated by the warm glow of the fireplace. The sound of Christmas carols floated softly from the Evans family home, contrasting with the quiet atmosphere of my house.
“Yes, I do. I have always been and will always love you.”
“Aren’t you lying?” I asked softly.
“Why would I lie about that?” He whispered gently.
“Aren’t you angry about the ad?”
“How many times do I have to tell you that I’m not mad at you, Fenella? From the beginning, we agreed to let the ad go and move on, right? Besides, the ad has already been taken down.” He shrugged as if the ad meant nothing to him anymore.
“What about the people’s criticism of me? Don’t you see my social media?”
He shook his head. “I don’t give a damn about that. I’ve always told you, even

Fenella’s POVThe door to my room swung open, and Laird's face was the first thing I saw. His eyes widened as he took in the sight of me on the bed. His gaze didn’t shift from my body; instead, it became more intense, examining every curve in the dim light from outside.His green eyes darkened and sparkled with enthusiasm. A crooked smile spread across his lips as if he were looking at a feast that made him hungry. Meanwhile, I reveled in every second as he devoured my presence.I sat up with my knees on the bed. My legs opened wide, strong enough to support my body while displaying all of me to him.“Are you asking for make-up sex, honey?” I asked with a sultry tone in my voice.“Yes, and everything that is you.” He spoke low.“Then take me. Take all of me.”Laird closed my bedroom door and locked it from the inside. He strode closer to my bed with a smirk on his lips. When he

Fenella’s POVLaird opened his shirt in front of me. His cock was erect and hard. I could see the veins underneath his tan skin running like roots deeply embedded in his body.He then crawled up onto my queen bed. As he was about to lay his body on top of mine, I rolled over to avoid him. His eyebrows raised in question at my unexpected behavior. I smiled with a small chuckle held back."This is my turn, darling. Of course, you didn't think you'd get all the pleasure alone, right?" I pointed my finger at his chest with a bold gaze."I thought I wouldn't get it." He smiled crookedly."Oh, don't worry, honey. You deserve a pleasant Christmas gift if you obey and be a good boy."I slowly pushed him to lie on the bed. My body covered his, but I didn't immediately ride him, even though I really wanted to. Instead of finishing quickly, I played what he always liked about me."Remember to save some for the finale," he stroked my hair."Uh huh."The next moment, I did the same thing he had do

Fenella’s POVI immediately turned off the ringtone and waited until the call stopped. Then I quickly activated the silent mode on my phone."I forgot he knew your house.""Yes, he helped my mom carry things from the bazaar earlier.""Now he's openly chasing you." Laird snorted."Fenella! I know you're inside! I brought a Christmas gift!" Alan's voice was loud outside.My mouth fell open. "How dare he shout outside?" I protested in a low whisper."I can't believe it," Laird shook his head."What should we do?" I frowned, weighing whether to let him in or not."Let's pretend we're not home and hide." Laird pulled me by the waist back to the bed to lie down. "Good thing you turned off the lights earlier.""But—""No buts. Remember, he mustn't know we've made up, or he’ll become suspicious of you later." Laird warned me in a low whisper."Yeah, maybe you’re right." I then followed his advice.Outside, Alan still seemed to be trying to get attention and continued calling me. He also kept s

Fenella's POVI took a deep breath and prepared myself to meet Alan that day. After spending the whole day with Laird, planning with Matthew and the assistant district attorneys, it was time for me to take the right action. It was time for my acting skills to be honed from the start.“You remember, right? This necklace only hears you one way, so you won’t get a response from us, but we are here waiting for you.”“Yes.” I nodded, even though my heart was racing.“Do you remember the safe word?”“Whitehill Academy.” I said it quickly for confirmation, and they nodded.“Good. Familiar words for Alan won’t make him suspicious. Let us know anytime you need an emergency backup,” Matthew commented with a chuckle.“Break a leg,” Laird whispered, staring at me intently. He then kissed my lips briefly before withdrawing his hand from my cheek.“Break a leg.” Matthew turned to me and moved his face forward as if going to kiss my lips as well. Of course, Laird immediately pushed Matthew's face awa

Fenella’s POVAlan laughed softly. He seemed pleased. Was it working? Was my acting convincing enough?“How did this happen?”His laughter grew more amusing and gradually turned into neurotic laughter. Shit! He must have seen through my poor acting!I sat tensely in my seat. My eyes darted back and forth between his laughing lips and the white sedan parked across the street. I started considering mentioning the safe word. My breathing quickened as I waited for him to stop laughing.“Alan, I mean,” my words faltered as Alan raised his hand in the air.“No, Fenella. I don’t want to hear your lies. This is clearly ridiculous.” Alan huffed and shook his head.“How can you reject me outright yesterday and today accept my proposal and say those three words?” He took a quick sip of his tea.I clenched my hands on the table. I didn’t expect this plan to fail so

Fenella’s POV“We want to buy your best diamond ring,” Alan said quickly.“Sorry, sir. Our VIP room is only open to members,” the store guard responded with a cold smile towards Alan.“Oh, right. You’re right.” Alan smiled widely and then turned to me. “Darling, I guarantee you won’t regret coming here with me to enjoy this experience like in the movies.”Alan then took out his wallet from his suit pocket and pulled out a black card with silver lettering. There it was! The unlimited platinum credit card!“This is what you meant, right? I’m sure this card includes membership at all Prestishe store branches worldwide.”Alan smiled arrogantly as he handed the card to the store staff. The staff examined the card closely and then turned to a woman who had been sitting in the corner of the room behind the display case. She nodded as a signal for her to act. The woman in the suit immediately stood up and greeted us with a wide, friendly smile.“Hi. Would you like to see our premium diamond c

Fenella’s POV“Woohoo! Awesome!”Matthew cheered loudly in the living room of my house. He rubbed his palms together with fiery excitement in his eyes. Matthew bit his lower lip and waited for the next instructions.Laird, Matthew, and I had opened the online meeting room on my laptop to stay connected with Dave. Meanwhile, Matthew had opened his own laptop with an online gambling page clearly displayed on the screen. The sound of slot machines jingling disturbed our concentration.“Calm down a bit, buddy. I still have to break through one more defense on your favorite website,” Dave mumbled, his fingers tapping on his keyboard in New York.“Come on, I can’t wait to try it.”“Patience, Matthew. Let him work.” Laird warned the man with a firm voice.I could only watch them in silence, hoping that Alan wouldn’t know anything about all this. My mission to steal Al

Fenella’s POVI stood behind my front door. My mother stood behind me. Her forehead was furrowed in confusion at my behavior, but she let me be. I peeked through the peephole in the door.I immediately felt relieved. I opened the door wide with a smile on my face. “Jessy!”“Merry Christmas!”We hugged tightly. My mother, upon seeing Jessy, groaned. “You dare show your face now?”“Sorry, Ma’am.”My mother didn’t particularly like Jessy. Not because she was homophobic or disliked Jessy’s personality, but because she felt Jessy controlled all my schedule. Part of it was my fault for often making Jessy the scapegoat for my absences on Christmas Eve for five consecutive years and for rarely returning to Boston.“This is for you, Mrs. Baxter.” Jessy lifted a large bag filled with some premium food items.“Oh, this is rare, honey. And dried fruits, too.” My mother accepted the bag and peered inside.“Yes, just as you always wanted.” Jessy smiled and nodded at my mother.“Oh, come in, dear. I

I sat in the audience with my heart pounding and my feet restless. The reporters waiting in the back of the room fell silent, capturing every moment as the judge entered.I squeezed Laird's hand to quell my nerves. He smiled at me and whispered that everything would be okay. I nodded and offered a small, reassuring smile in return.This was the final appeal at the Supreme Court. After this, Alan wouldn’t be able to appeal again until his sentence was served. After two long years of a drawn-out case with various appeals from Alan’s side, we had finally reached the finish line.The judge began reading various considerations and court notes.

Fenella’s POVTwo years later…I held Laird's hand, squeezing the palm that felt damp with sweat. A smile appeared on my lips as I tried to calm the nervousness he had felt since we left the house. This was the first award ceremony for him, Dave, and Rowan. They couldn’t sit still in their seats either.I couldn’t deny that I felt the same. My heart raced, even as the host made jokes that had the audience laughing. Still, I tried to remain calm because I didn’t want to make him more anxious than he already was.“The winner of the Best Mobile Game of the Year is...” The music stopped, the announcer paused, tension built, “My Supermodel!”“Oh! Thank God!” I exclaimed behind my hands that covered my open mouth.“Congratulations, honey!”I immediately stood up and hugged Laird tightly beside me. I cupped his face in my hands and kissed his lips strong and quick. He smiled broadly and whispered for a moment, “I love you, baby. Thank you.”“Congratulations!” I shook hands with Dave and Rowa

Fenella’s POVI stood at the edge of the balcony. My hands are firmly gripping the iron rail of the balcony as my eyes gaze at the nighttime scenery in the distance. Puerto Vallarta, a cliff with a stunning coastal view that showcases the beautiful side of Mexico.Perhaps there is truth in the saying—including Lloyd's yesterday—that bad memories must be replaced with good ones.Since arriving in Mexico until now, all the bad memories have been erased and replaced with the beauty of a honeymoon vacation with the love of my life. It's not bad, really.Despite the heavy trial we went through yesterday, we finally had some peace of mind. The night breeze blows through my hair. There's a strange sensation, but I don't want to go into the room yet. Until Laird came from the balcony door and immediately hugged me, enveloping me in soothing warmth.“Hey,”“Hi, baby. Are you done showering?” I asked, raising my head to look at Laird's face for a moment.“Yup.”“You smell nice,” I said as I inh

Fenella’s POV“Oh, sweet Mother, that was divine!” Jessy took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Then he opened his eyes wide while his mouth continued chewing my mother’s crab cakes. The murmurs and cheers were still heard until he finally finished his last bite.“I was glad you liked them,” my mother smiled broadly.“I didn’t just like them. I loved, loved, loved them!”Everyone around us laughed at Jessy’s confession. We felt the same way because my mother had succeeded in making a super delicious wedding reception dish. Truly, our Baxter family home was filled with guests. Even though we had invited only a small number of people, our home had never been this lively.The decorations of pink, white, and red flowers and balloons filled the entire room. The furniture had been rearranged to create enough space for the guests to dance or chat. Soft music played through the speakers set up in the corner of the room.Occasionally, guests would step up to change the music, hold the microph

Fenella’s POV“Honey, you looked absolutely stunning,” my mother said. “Thank you, Mom.” I smiled wide upon hearing my mother's compliment. She handed me a bouquet of wedding flowers that was a mix of pink, red, and white colors. I then grabbed the small bouquet and held it tightly. “I couldn’t believe we pulled this off all in just a week.” My mother shook her head, her eyes wide. “We even thought to get married the day after he proposed, but I remembered your words about wanting to prepare every detail of my wedding. You only have one chance because I'm your only daughter, so here we are.”“I just hoped those fruit tarts and crab cakes would be enough for all the guests.” “It’s okay, Mom. If the food wasn’t enough, we could stuff them with the wedding cake. That’s the job of the five-tier cake you ordered.”“You're right. I'm grateful that Mrs. Maddox's bakery shop is willing to take on the order." She sighed and stared at my face."Oh, I wish your father could see you, even th

Fenella’s POV“Fenella.”“Yes, Laird.”Laird called me right after I arrived at the apartment.“Where are you right now?”“I'm at the apartment,” I replied quickly as I grabbed a glass of mineral water from the dispenser.“Oh, thank goodness. I'm on my way home,” he said.The apartment door opened, and I immediately saw Laird's figure enter. My mouth was slightly agape, with my eyes widening. My forehead wrinkled as I watched him walk in. I glanced at the clock on the table and realized it was 2 p.m.“Fenella,” he called in his distinctively low voice.He stepped inside and met me in the kitchen. I hurriedly set my water glass down on the dining table. For some reason, Laird's face looked different. There was a hint of a happy smile on his face, though the look in his eyes was dark, and I couldn't describe the meaning behind it.“You're home? One second you're calling me, the next you're standing in front of me,” I chuckled.Suddenly, he let down his backpack on the floor. Then he hug

Laird’s POVI took several deep breaths and let them out. I couldn't help but feel uneasy and anxious, and various bad thoughts were raging in my mind. My hands repeatedly smoothed my tie or combed my hair. Hell, I couldn't calm myself down!This wasn't the first time my father had gone this far. Using bodyguards to pick up other people by force, who does he think he is?I hate his methods. He's called the shark of the legal world for a reason. This is how he acts. Stalking, coercing, and making people bend to his will until they're crushed by Hugo Evans' ambition.Now he was after Fenella. He flew from Boston to New York for her. I just knew it.I almost know what my father wants from my girlfriend. Maybe he wants to tell her to stay away like some of the girls I dated at university. It could also be that he wanted to ask about the case involving me and Malgolm Golden together.Whatever it was, I was waiting for a call or mes
Winning My Ex-Crush 203: Please Don’t Preach
Fenella’s POVMy eyes blinked after hearing Mr. Evans' words. My brow furrowed as I tried to understand his reasoning and failed miserably. I remained silent, but eventually, my heart was stirred to dig deeper.“Excuse me? Why is that?” I asked slowly, being careful not to make a misstep.“Because he helped my enemy,” Mr. Evans replied firmly.Again, I could only blink. An enemy? Yes, Laird had told me how Mr. Golden had an affair with his mother. But wasn’t that ten years ago? In fact, Mr. Evans had been busy with his young girlfriend.Still, Laird had helped to do the right thing. I didn’t want to argue with him, but I began to feel that Mr. Evans' disappointment in Laird was beyond reason.“But he helped capture criminals. He has contributed to the community.” I voiced my opinion again and swallowed to ease my nervousness.“You don’t know anything, kid. He helped my arch-enemy without considering my feelings.” Mr. Evans scoffed in frustration. “How dare he? Sometimes Laird can be u
Winning My Ex-Crush 202: Live Location
Fenella’s POVI willingly got into the black van, leaving Jessy alone on the sidewalk. I was sure he would immediately contact Laird. Maybe he would explain the situation to him, and Laird would call me right away.Sure enough, my phone rang just minutes after the van had driven away from Laird’s office building. I answered the call immediately.“Hello, Laird.”“Hey, Fenella. What is this about Jessy seeing you being abducted by a black van? He said you willingly got into the vehicle and mentioned it was my father’s men.”Laird asked with tension in his voice. His breath sounded hurried on the phone, but I didn’t want to make him more anxious.Well, yes, I was panicking too because suddenly I had been approached by men in black suits who resembled mafia. However, they mentioned Hugo Evans, Laird’s father. I didn’t want to give his father a bad impression, or I would lose th
