Business and family ties

Suzanne entered her office, the familiar scent of polished wood and paperwork filling the air. She had just finished her introduction to the company, an event that had left her both proud and burdened. Her son, still too young to understand the weight of the moment, clutched his children’s tablet, his innocent eyes glued to the screen as he sat quietly in the corner. After planting a gentle kiss on his cheek, Suzanne finally settled into her chair. Nina, her sharp-eyed cousin, was already there, going over the latest updates on the company’s financials with the team.Suzanne folded her hands, leaning back slightly, giving her full attention to the conversation. “So, Nina, what’s our daily expense tally looking like these days?”Nina glanced at the others in the room before answering. “It’s about 70% of the company’s finance. A significant chunk.”Suzy looked up, her brow furrowing as she processed the figure. “Seventy percent? Of what exactly? What are we spending it on?”Before Nina

Face to face

Suzanne turned fully to Liam, her piercing gaze locking onto his. “You better be fast,” she said curtly. “I have a son to get to.”Liam’s lips curved into a soft smile. It was really her. After nearly two years of searching, of hoping, she was standing right there. How had he not thought to look here sooner? Oh, right—the private investigator hadn’t found anything. She’d hidden herself so well, slipping away like a ghost. But now, she was in front of him, real and impossible to ignore.“How’s he?” Liam asked, his voice gentle, the smile never leaving his face.Suzanne’s tense shoulders relaxed slightly, but her voice remained firm. “Liam, I don’t have time for this now. Can we talk another time, please?”He nodded, his smile faltering but still present. “Alright. Tomorrow, I’ll pick you up, huh?”She gave a quick nod before turning around and walking away. Liam’s gaze stayed on her retreating form, his chest tightening with emotions he hadn’t felt in years. He listened to the echo of

Secret and whispers

Suzanne and Liam walked into the company’s restaurant, their presence causing a ripple of whispers to spread among the employees already seated there. Heads turned, and conversations dropped to hushed tones as people observed the unusual sight."Who's the young man?" one woman murmured to her colleague, her eyes darting toward Liam. "He’s so handsome."Another leaned closer, her voice laced with judgment. "Why is the CEO eating here with us? Her father never does that. It’s classless."A younger voice cut in defensively. "C'mon, leave her alone. Suzanne Smith has more class than your entire generation."A group at the far end exchanged knowing glances, one of them pulling out a phone and scrolling. "Aww, they look so good together," another sighed wistfully.“Wait,” someone else interjected, showing the others a photo on her screen. “That’s Liam Carter, the second son of the Carter family.”Gasps rippled through the table. “Oh, what? No wonder he looks so handsome,” another replied, l

Show of Affection

From across the room, Finn’s voice sliced through the moment with disapproval. “Father, that’s disgusting. If you want to flirt with your mistress, do it where I can’t watch.”Leo turned to his son, a grin tugging at his lips despite Finn’s harsh tone. “Flirt with my mistress?” he repeated, amusement evident. “Eloise isn’t my mistress, Finn. She’s going to be your stepmother.”Finn crossed his arms, his expression a mix of disbelief and irritation. “Step-mother,” he scoffed. Finn’s expression hardened, his voice sharp as he dismissed the earlier conversation. “Anyway, that isn’t why I’m here.”Leo leaned back, a heavy sigh escaping his lips. “Then why are you here, Finn?”Finn squared his shoulders, his tone resolute. “I think it’s time you made me chairman now.”The older man’s response was a scoff, his eyes narrowing slightly as he observed his son. “Chairman?” he repeated, his voice tinged with disbelief.“I’m not joking, Father,” Finn said firmly, leaning forward. “I’ve stayed by

Deal made without consent

“What do you think about Finn Carter?”Suzanne froze mid-bite, her fork hovering over her plate. She looked up at her father with furrowed brows. “What should I think about Finn Carter?”Armstrong Smith leaned back in his chair, a faint, unreadable smile playing on his lips. “Well, he’s interested in you.”Suzy blinked, her grip on the fork loosening. “Interested in me? In what way?”Armstrong's calm demeanor didn’t waver. “He wants to marry you.”The words hit her like a slap. She didn’t even notice the coffee slipping from her lips as it dribbled back into her cup. “What?”“As part of a business arrangement,” Armstrong continued, his voice as casual as if he were discussing the weather. “He proposed the idea in exchange for assisting with our building project.”Suzy’s spoon clattered onto the table. She stared at him, disbelief washing over her face. “You made a deal… about me?” Her voice rose, trembling with anger.“It’s not like that, Suzanne,” Armstrong said firmly, though his ga

Unknown deal

Suzanne stepped out of her car, smoothing the front of her blouse as her eyes scanned the Carter estate. The grand property radiated an air of authority and wealth that left no doubt about the family's influence. Taking a deep breath, she walked up the steps. Before she could knock, the heavy front door opened, revealing a tall, composed man in his late forties.“Good afternoon. Come on in,” the man greeted, his tone polite but clipped.“Thank you,” Suzanne replied, stepping inside.“I’m Mr. Hank, Mr. Carter’s direct manager,” he explained, leading her through the ornate hallway to the dining room. As they entered, a warm, cheerful voice greeted her.“There you are, my beautiful girl,” a woman said, rising from her seat. Mrs. Eloise Dax, Liam’s mother, walked toward her with open arms. “I didn’t have time to greet you the other day. Welcome to my home. Feel free to relax.”Suzanne smiled politely as Eloise guided her to a seat beside her. She barely had time to sit when a melodic voic

Love and second chances

Suzanne walked briskly toward her car, her mind replaying Leo’s last words."If it weren't for Liam, I'd have never known about this. So the only person you should thank is him."She felt a pang of guilt settle in her chest. The way she had spoken to him earlier that morning—it hadn’t been fair. She sighed, fumbling for her car keys as she neared her vehicle.“Suzanne, wait!”The familiar voice made her pause. She turned to see Liam jogging toward her, his expression a mix of concern and determination.He stopped in front of her, slightly out of breath. “I—”“Let me go first,” she interrupted, raising a hand.Liam pressed his lips together, silently urging her to continue.“I’m sorry for the way I spoke to you this morning,” she began, her voice softer now. “I was frustrated with my father and everything happening around me, and I let it all out on you. It wasn’t fair, and I’m really sorry, Liam. Can you forgive me?”Her sincerity caught him off guard. He studied her for a moment befo

Finding him

Suzanne leaned back in her leather chair, absently tapping her pen against the desk as she glanced at the clock for the third time that morning. It had been four days.Four days since Liam had confessed his feelings to her.Four days since he’d told her he loved her.And yet—nothing.No calls. No texts. Not even a casual drop-by at her office.A frustrated sigh escaped her lips as she tossed the pen aside. Who confesses their love and then disappears like that? It was infuriating. More than that—it hurt.She had told herself she was too busy to think about it, too occupied with work and Charlie to dwell on Liam’s absence. But the truth? She missed him. More than she wanted to admit.Finally, she gave in.Grabbing her office phone, she dialed Carter Hospital’s private line, the one meant for high-ranking medical personnel. The line rang twice before a nurse picked up.“Carter Hospital, Dr. Liam Carter’s office. How may I help you?”Suzanne straightened in her seat, trying to sound casu

Feeling too real

The volunteers scrambled, pushing open the clinic’s doors as Liam carried Suzanne inside, his grip firm but gentle.Suzanne peeked up at him through half-lidded eyes, her heartbeat thundering.He looked so serious, so focused, so… worried.She had never felt more safe.But she had also never felt more ridiculous.What kind of grown woman faked an illness just to get a man’s attention?…Her, apparently.Liam laid her down on one of the beds, his hands immediately moving to check her vitals. His brow furrowed, his lips pressed into a thin line of concentration.Even now, she couldn’t help but admire him—the sharpness of his jaw, the way his hair fell slightly over his forehead, the intensity in his gaze as he worked.Damn it. He had no right to look this good.“Tell me exactly what you’re feeling,” he said, his voice softer now, but laced with urgency.Suzanne gulped, her eyes flickering away. Maybe… maybe she should tell him the truth.That she wasn’t really sick.That she had only don

A drool over him

A sharp throat-clearing shattered the moment, making them snap apart like guilty teenagers.Bianca stood in the doorway, arms crossed, her face carefully neutral, though something flickered in her eyes—something unreadable.Liam straightened, his expression shifting into something more professional.“Dr. Carter,” Bianca started, her voice clipped, “we’re short-staffed.”Liam exhaled, running a hand down his face before nodding. “I’m coming.”Bianca hesitated for a moment, her gaze flickering between them, before turning on her heel and walking away.Silence settled between them, thick and charged.Then Liam turned to Suzanne, his gaze steady. “When are you leaving?”She blinked, caught off guard.Without thinking, she blurted out, “Who said I’m going?”Liam’s brows lifted slightly in surprise.Her heart stumbled in her chest as she realized what she’d just said.“I mean—” she hurried to correct herself, tucking her hair behind her ear, “I’m not busy right now. I can help.” She tried t
