All Chapters of My Icy's Husband's Secret Flame: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

My parents were old, and their health was deteriorating, so the burden of running the company had fallen entirely on my brother, Chase.He wasn't naturally talented in business. The only reason the Levertons' business was still afloat was because of Caleb's connections."I don't know what happened. Several companies we were working with canceled their orders this morning."These are all custom-made products. Who am I going to sell it to if they don't want it? The goods have already been produced, and just the cost of raw materials alone is astronomical. "I thought since they were long-term clients, I didn't collect much of a deposit. Now, if we can't get the remaining payment, the Levertons will be finished!"I couldn't help but slap my forehead. "Why didn't you collect deposits according to standard practice? The accounts need to be clear even with family, let alone with regular clients." "They were all people introduced by my brother-in-law. How was I supposed to know they'd

Our family was in the furniture business. My father, Wade Leverton, was once called the Furniture King in the business world. However, after an incident a few years ago where a retractable chair he oversaw exploded, he fell into a slump and developed Alzheimer's. My mother decided to take him back to our hometown to care for him. Neither of them could help with the family business.In the past, our family shared location data to prevent my father from wandering off. When I followed the data to find Chase, he was sprawled like a dog over one of the erotic chairs produced by our factory, introducing the product's features.Everyone around him looked at him with disdain and ridicule. His efforts were futile. These people were merely Caleb's accomplices."Chase, get up!" I quickly went to pull him to his feet. Everyone looked at me. "Mr. Leverton, is this your sister? Why don't we let her demonstrate the product for us so we can see it clearly?"The men's faces were full of malic

The moment I brought up Maura, Caleb jumped like he'd been caught red-handed. "Can you stop dragging Maura into every single thing between us? Didn't your parents teach you to show some respect for your elders?" I let out a cold laugh. "In my family, we were taught that elders don't sit at the table flirting with the younger generation."Caleb's jaw tightened, and his patience was clearly wearing thin. "Winifred, I'm trying to talk to you like an adult, but you just have to be snarky, don't you?"That condescending tone made my skin crawl like he was doing me a favor just by standing here. Being a powerful business tycoon, he naturally had the confidence to act that way."Do you really think your family would still be holding it together without me?" he asked smugly, thinking his words would crush me.But he didn't know. I'd already outmaneuvered him and handled the situation on my own. His little minions probably didn't have the guts to tell him they'd failed miserably trying

I stared at Caleb, my eyes wide with shock. Did I hear him right? Was this man seriously suggesting I move out so he could sneak around with me like I was his mistress? "So, let me get this straight," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "Maura threw a tantrum and ran off because she found out about us sleeping together? "That's rich. I didn't think mothers-in-law usually got mad about their sons trying to keep the family line going. Aren't they supposed to be thrilled? "Let me guess—if I move out, you two won't even bother hiding it anymore, right? You'll just cozy up in my bed, doing what you do best." Caleb's face darkened, his irritation barely contained. "I already told you to stop overthinking everything. Maura left because she thought she was the problem between us. "She figured her presence was affecting our relationship. And don't act like she didn't notice the way you've been treating her. Separating you two is the easiest solution. And it's not like I can't aff

With an interview lined up for tomorrow, I decided not to waste any more energy arguing with Caleb. After a quick shower, I went straight to bed. Caleb was already gone when I woke up the next morning. My suitcase had been neatly placed by the bed, and I quickly rummaged through it to find something suitable for the interview.The only business attire I owned was the one I bought for my college graduation. Back then, I had planned to focus on my career and was ready to stand my ground against my family's expectations. But then, I met Caleb, and things took a different turn.Shaking off those thoughts, I got myself together and showed up promptly at 10:00 a.m. to meet Gia's boss, Ewan Newman. Mr. Newman looked like he had just stepped out of a TV show—sharp features, slicked-back hair, and gold-rimmed glasses that screamed corporate hotshot. He was the epitome of a polished professional. He gave me a warm smile after asking me a few straightforward questions. "Alright," he s
