Chapter 71: The Pitch Competition (ii)

Louisa's pulse thunders in her ears as the moment freezes in time. Her gaze darts across the room, first to the audience, then to the judges, and last to Karen and the other representative from her company, who are wearing terrible looks of helplessness. The clicks of cameras and frantic texting on phones punctuate the swell of voices in the crowd. There is nothing she can do to stop her impeccable reputation, which has been painstakingly cultivated over the years, from collapsing in real-time. At the center table of the Modu Techs delegation, Cordelia sits with confidence in her sharp ivory blazer. Her carefully composed demeanor gave no hint of the weeks of scheming she had dedicated to ensuring this day would unfold in her favor. She sips from a glass of sparkling water, placed on the table before her and watches Louisa's shaky figure on stage.Although her chest hums with delight, her countenance is meticulously arranged to not give away her delight in public.Inside, she en

Chapter 72: Baby Daddy Duty

Louisa sniffs, her breath hitching as she hears a sound at her door. She quiets down to listen well and it turns out to be a knock.At first, the knocks are timid, as if the guest is unsure whether or not to disturb her. She ignores it, unwilling to entertain any guest at the moment, but then it becomes firm, deliberate, and relentless.“Louisa! I know you're in there, open the door.”Her head snaps up and she blinks, surprised at the familiar deep voice on the other side of the door.It can't be Kingsley. Her heart skips and her chest tightens. Why did it have to be him, of all people, who showed up to see her in this mess? Why him?He's the one person she could have given anything to avoid at the moment but what now?He probably knows Liam would be unavailable at present, so what exactly is he here for? To add a pinch of salt to her injury?She shuts her eyes tight and places her hands on her ears, blocking out the sound, and to her relief, it stops after a few minutes.Relieved,

Chapter 73: The New Doctor

The tension in the room is evident as Evelyn struggles to answer the phone. "Liam? What's wrong, sweetie?” Her voice instantly softens as she asks. Liam's little, tentative voice sounds on the other end. “Could you come get me, Aunt Evelyn? Mom's line is not connecting, and I….I no longer want to be here.” Evelyn furrows her brows. "Liam, what do you mean? It's not yet time to leave, is it?” “No, but I need to leave now. Please, I can't stay here anymore.” Liam clarifies quickly, sniffing as well, which makes Evelyn wonder if he's crying too. “Alright, I'll come get you. Sit tight and don't go anywhere, okay?” Liam whispers, "All right," in a barely audible voice. Hanging up, Evelyn takes a moment to gather herself. As she raises her head, her eyes meet Kingsley's Louisa's, they had been watching her with worried expressions. Evelyn says solemnly. “The children at school are taunting him again; he sounds as if it's not the first time. He wants to leave there imme

Chapter 74: The Dazzling Scrub Prince

Fred had never been more in tune with the art of multi-tasking—running, scrolling, and huffing out curse words all at once. The hospital corridor barely sees the back of his lab coat flutter when he bolts out after Linda’s cryptic comment about Louisa. As he bursts out into the crisp evening air, Fred fiddles with his phone. He still cannot believe his eyes as he keeps gaping at the blog post blaring accusations like a bad tabloid: "Behind the Curtain: Louisa's Scandalous Bargain with Kingsley Wills!" It claimed she’d been sleeping with Kingsley in exchange for business favors for the past five years. Five years! Fred would’ve laughed if it hadn’t punched him in the gut. Five years ago, he hadn't met Louisa yet, but he had known her to be a workaholic for the past four years they'd met. She doesn't even have a man. But this? This is garbage. But his gut still twisted. He blasts out into the evening traffic, clutching a half-eaten tuna sandwich as he maneu

Chapter 75: Walking The Thightrope

As Louisa enters the modern, marble-floored lobby of Palmer Tech, her heart hammers against her ribs. It is loud today, the normal hum of morning activity, the click of heels on polished tiles, the flurry of conversations. Every glance is laced with mistrust, and every fleeting smile is a disguised dagger. As she passes small groups of workers hunched by coffee makers or organizing files at their workstations, she hears faint murmuring. ‘They are discussing me,’ she thinks inwardly. Willing herself to remain composed, she tightens her grip on her bag and adjusts her blazer. The fluorescent lights overhead create a strong glare, making the path to the boardroom appear longer than normal. Her uneasiness is evident from her reflection on the glass walls: her shoulders are slumped, and her stride is a bit too quick. She stops and inhales deeply when she arrives at the boardroom's hefty wood doors. She reminds herself, ‘You can do this,’ and then she pushes them open. T

Chapter 77: Deal Gone South

Exhausted and numb after walking all afternoon to clear her head after the board meeting, Louisa opens the front door of her apartment and enters. Except for the gentle hum of the refrigerator, the home is still. Liam and Bem must be fast asleep.Her feet hurt just as much as her head, so she lets her purse fall on the console table and takes her toes off her heels. She lets out a sigh, longing for her bed's coziness. But she hears a faint sound coming from the kitchen just as she heads towards her bedroom. Her forehead wrinkles. Isn't Liam asleep by that time of the night? She peeks in and stops in shock as she creeps toward the light leaking out of the kitchen doorway. Liam's spoon clatters across a dish of pasta as he laughs wildly while seated at the table. Kingsley is sitting across from him, listening with a pleasant smile on his face and his shirt sleeves pushed up. Evidence of their culinary escapade is strewn across the counter, including a half-empty bottle of soda,

Chapter 78: Tensions In The Morning

With the gentle golden light of dawn streaming in through her window, Evelyn wakes up. Her hand automatically reaches for her phone as she stretches idly. Her heart skips a beat as her eyes adapt to the glow of the screen. There it is—John's message. With a gentle smile on her face, she opens it. "Good morning, Eve. I woke up thinking about how your laugh brightens my entire world. Even the imperfect moments we spend together are ones for which I am thankful. I hope you have the most lovely day, my dear. Nothing less is fair to you.” She reads the lines again, relishing each word and her cheeks flushed. It is more than simply the message; it is John's ability to speak straight to her emotions and remind her of the reasons she had initially fallen in love with him. She moves her finger across the screen as though she can touch the earnestness of his remarks. The magic is broken as her phone suddenly vibrates. Seeing the caller ID, she smiles widely, "Good morning," she says,

Chapter 79: Fleeting Affair

Fred's brows furrow deeply and his jaw tightens as he stands and takes in the view in front of him.Kingsley, in Louisa's bedroom early in the morning, sitting comfortably like the owner of the building, is something he had not imagined.His gaze shifts from Louisa to Kingsley, who sits motionless, obviously not in a hurry to get up and go. Louisa nervously says, "Fred," feigning a feeble smile. "I wasn’t expecting you this early." "Clearly," Fred answers in a harsh tone as he narrows his eyes at Kingsley. "I didn’t realize you had…a guest over." Unfazed by the animosity emanating from Fred, Kingsley grins. He rises slowly, moving unhurriedly as if he's defying Fred to speak. He says, "Good morning to you too," in a sarcastic tone. "Liam and I will leave now," he adds, turning to Louisa. “We have to be there in time to meet the Head Of School.”Fred jerks his head in Louisa's direction. "He's taking Liam away? Louisa, what's happening?" Kingsley interrupts before Louisa can repl
