All Chapters of Through The Gate Of Love: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

~In the evening. Kaylie’s heel resonated on the floor as she stepped out of the room into the parlor in an expensive green floor-length gown and a tiny diamond necklace on her neck. Her face was layered with powder that blended with her light skin, and pale pink lipstick complimented her soft, full pink lips. Her blonde hair was styled in a classic bun with a delicate silver hairpin placed in it. Sadie, in her knee-length gown, had been waiting for Kaylie. She couldn't enter the room since Gage was inside, so immediately, as Kaylie came out, she rushed to her front. “Wow!” She scanned her from head to toe. “This looks great on you,” she complimented. “Bryson chose the correct size.” “Oh,” Kaylie said, surprised. “Is the dress from him?” Sadie nodded. “Yes,” she confirmed, smiling. “He auctioned it. It's expensive, but he got it because he believes you're worth it.” Bryson entered. “Wow!” He uttered, looking at Kaylie. He rushed to her front and scanned her body before getting hi

Kaylie stepped out of the bathroom and saw jewelry boxes on the floor and dresses on the bed, while Gage remained in the same spot where she had left him in his wheelchair next to the bed. She scanned the jewelry boxes, trying to count them with her eyes, but she couldn’t finish counting before she shifted her gaze to the dresses on the bed, and without bothering to count them, she shifted her gaze to him. “What’s this?” “Nothing much,” he answered in simplicity. He pointed to the boxes on the floor and the dresses on the bed, furthering, “just two dozen jewelry sets, and dozens of dresses. Auctioned from the same brand Bryson ordered the one that makes you see him as the best,” He looked at her face and chuckled. “But at prices higher than his. These dresses are special editions, with some having just two types and the highest products of such qualities are five,” he explained, trying to exaggerate to impress her. “And the interesting price is that you’ll be the only one with th

“Anything you want,” he answered in simplicity, his gaze filled with determination, certain she wouldn’t succeed. “Just name whatever you want. I’ll give it.” She nodded her head twice, her lips filled with a beam. “Deal,” she uttered. She loosened her hands from her chest and walked to his side. She sat down and raised her finger. “To prove my plan works out, I’ll retrieve one of her plans against you. How about that?” He nodded in acceptance. “Agreed,” he said. “But I know you’ll fail.” She lifted her brows, grinning. “I have a request already, and I can’t wait to get this done so I can ask for it,” she stated. “Hopefully you won’t fail me.” He chuckled. “I’m who I am, but one thing that can never change about me is I always stand on my words,” he let out. “And in addition to whatever you request, if you retrieve useful information from Sadie, I’ll blindly follow every other plan you’ve got. I’ll let you take the lead.” “This inspires me more.” She said and winked at him. ~ “H

Kaylie and Sadie walked out of the kitchen after inspecting the dinner meal. They arrived at the dining table and met chairman Paul and Bryson, already seated.Kaylie curtsied her head. “Welcome, sir,” she greeted, but Chairman Paul ignored her, yet she didn’t give up. She filled her lips with a smile, asking, “how’s your day, sir?”Sadie gave the chairman a reprimanding stare, but he paid no attention to her. She faced Kaylie, beaming, “sit.”Kaylie smiled. “Okay, ma.” She uttered and calmly sat next to Sadie.Chairman Paul moved his back from the chair backrest. “There’s a business party tomorrow at the Regency Hotel, and this family will attend,” he announced and glanced at Bryson. “You know about it, right?”Bryson nodded. “Yes,” he responded, adding, “the organizer invited me himself. I’ve worked with him before, and he commends me for my intelligent work and shows interest in my future project,” He was trying to impress the chairman, so he proceeded, “he’s even willing to introd

The third most luxurious car, after Bryson’s and Chairman Paul’s, pulled up to the Regency Hotel entrance, and the porters sprang into action, opening the doors. Sadie emerged from one side, while Kaylie stepped out from the other. Bryson hastened to greet them, a warm smile spreading across his face. “Welcome, Mom.” He said, his voice filled with affection.Kaylie stood beside Sadie, her expression decidedly unenthusiastic. “Good afternoon.” She replied, her tone subdued. Bryson’s face fell, and he looked at her with concern. “What’s wrong?” He asked, his gaze darting between Kaylie and Sadie. "Did something happen at home or on your way here?"“Not at all,” Sadie responded. “She’s just worried the chairman will blame her because Gage didn’t come with us.” “Don’t worry, queen. Dad won’t be angry at you. He knows it’s impossible to convince Gage. He only wants you to try,” Bryson consoled, his voice soothing. “He won’t be harsh on you, trust me.”“Do you think I should just go back?
