Willow cracked a small smile. "To hell with your mom.""You should probably change—" Leonard broke off, incredulous when he realized Willow had been cursing at him.He was about to throw a raging fit when Serena said, "Mr. Jones, I'm afraid Lo can't and won't agree to the engagement.""What do you mean?""She's in love with someone else," Serena explained.Leonard chuckled. "Who is it, Willow? I'll teach that punk a lesson for trying to steal my woman!"Frankly, he couldn't care less about who Willow was in love with. After all, their marriage would be one of convenience. All that mattered was that he married a socialite who would make a good trophy wife.Willow was pretty, well-educated, and came from a prestigious family. Besides, Leonard was confident he would win her over with his manly charms once they were married.Serena answered with a straight face, "She's in love with me."Leonard's grin vanished as he demanded, "W-What was that?""Why did you think she brought me h

Wilson said, "Go ahead.""I know you have feelings for Serena. I can be your wingman," Arthur offered."What's in it for you?" Wilson narrowed his eyes."Nothing," Arthur replied. "Except that I kind of feel the same way about Willow, and I hope you'll back me up whenever necessary."Wilson seemed surprised. "You have feelings for Willow?""Yeah," Arthur said frankly."That's fine with me, but… If I find out you're only toying with her, I won't hesitate to hunt you down and make you pay," Wilson warned darkly."You won't have to worry about that," Arthur promised, grinning as he extended his hand toward Wilson. "I look forward to our collaboration."Wilson did not take his hand. "Spare me the niceties. It's not like we're close."Unfazed by Wilson's brusqueness, Arthur withdrew his hand and ducked to get into his car.…Candice wore a satin nightgown as she lounged on the couch at the Farrow residence. She was savoring a sweet treat as she scrolled through her phone.The nu

Serena hadn't expected Jillian to place another order through her online cake shop. This time, Jillian ordered a cake and cookies.Serena had been up since morning working on Jillian's orders, mixing dough, tempering butter, and baking the cookies. While she was baking, Bingo rolled around on the rug and occasionally bounded up to Serena to paw at her foot.It was an idyllic morning, and Serena realized she didn't mind the quietude.She made an extra batch of cookies for Willow. When she was done, she made her way downstairs with the cake and cookies, careful not to jostle them. Upon stepping past the gates, she was about to hail a ride when she spotted a familiar figure.Arthur cut a dashing figure in his tailored, light-colored suit as he leaned against his Maserati, appearing to be on a call.Serena stopped in her tracks. "Good morning.""Morning, Serena. Are you roomies with Willow?" Arthur asked pleasantly."Her apartment is across the hall from mine," Serena explained, gri

The fall breeze was crisp and chilly at night, but it didn't dampen the lively mood aboard a cruise ship docked by the shore. A loaded businessman had thrown a party on the cruise ship and invited plenty of socialites and members of the upper-crust society.Aaron arrived at the party with Lauren on his arm, her silver high heels clacking against the deck. She was showing more skin than usual in a dress that accentuated her tall, voluptuous figure, and her presence was met with curious stares from the male guests."Wait here while I greet an important client of mine," Aaron said gently."Okay." Lauren nodded obligingly and grabbed a champagne flute off the tray of a passing attendant. She leaned against the railing and slowly savored the champagne. A few men tried chatting her up, but she politely turned down their advances.Meanwhile, Joseph wore a simple white blouse as he held court with a few friends nearby. Suddenly, Xavier Chapman's eyes glittered as if he were a predator who

The paper bag Serena carried contained the strawberry shortcake for Softie, whose address she had located within a high-end residential area. The apartments here were spacious and low-density, with two units taking up the entire floor space.It was a prestigious address, though not too far away from her apartment.Serena walked up to the unit and rang the bell. It took a while for someone to answer, and as the door slowly swung open to reveal the person on the other side, Serena froze. "You?"Standing at the door was Wilson, who wore a pale gray sweater and had one hand tucked into the pocket of his jogger pants. He braced an arm against the doorframe, his posture elegant but lazy.Serena considered the customer's nickname, "Softie", and cringed inwardly. Wilson was no softie. She'd expected someone with that nickname to be a wealthy young woman in her prime.Wilson raised a brow at the sight of Serena and feigned surprise. "Goodness, Ms. Judd. What are you doing here?"Serena as
