Two wives

Elena was surprised. “What do you mean?”“What I mean is that I only intend to acknowledge the child. That woman will have nothing to do with this family. I’ll ensure she doesn’t pose a threat to you or the family.”Thomas had only met her once, but he could deduce what kind of person she was.Chloe was cunning, ambitious, and desperate to latch onto this family for her gain.Only Andrew, that fool, can’t realize she’s playing him.Elena’s chest heaved as she fought to scream at the unfairness.But deep down, she knew Thomas wasn’t asking for her opinion; he was commanding.And refusing him would come with consequences she wasn’t ready to face.Not at this stage.Meanwhile, Andrew and Samantha lingered outside the room, eavesdropping on the conversation between Thomas and Elena.When the conversation finally ended, Andrew turned to Samantha in confusion.“Mom, what does he mean by not acknowledging Chloe?”“Then are you dreaming of having two wives?” Samantha snapped at her son.Andre

An accident

Chloe froze. “What are you talking about?”Elena’s lips curled into a smirk. “You know exactly what I’m talking about.”Without waiting for a response, she strolled away, leaving Chloe standing amidst the roses.The grand room buzzed with energy as the Elliots celebrated the 50th anniversary of their corporation.From business magnates to politicians, the room was filled with influential figures.Lucas entered alongside Thomas as they walked toward the main reception area.Today, Lucas wore a custom-tailored three-piece black suit that clung perfectly to his tall, athletic frame.The sharp cut of the fabric emphasized his commanding presence while adding a touch of restrained elegance.His hazel eyes scanned the room lazily.Lucas’ mere presence was enough to hold the interest of even the most jaded attendees.There was a confidence in his stride, an authoritative charm that seemed to silence conversations wherever he passed.The murmurs of admiration followed him, though he paid them

Grand Scheme

“Mrs. Elliot is not pregnant.”The hallway fell deathly silent.Samantha’s eyes widened in disbelief, and Andrew’s face twisted into shock.Even Lucas, who had endured countless storms, was stunned.“That’s impossible! I saw the test kit myself. It was positive!” Samantha’s voice rose as she stepped forward.The doctor sighed, clearly accustomed to handling such situations. “Those kits are not always hundred percent accurate. False positives happen, especially under certain circumstances.”The doctor’s words settled like a thunderbolt over the group.Lucas’ sharp gaze flickered between the doctor and Andrew.A faint smirk slowly tugged at the corner of his mouth when he realized where this was going.“That bit*h has a lot of explanation to do.” Samantha hissed as she turned toward the ward.Andrew stormed ahead, his fury barely contained.Lucas stayed behind, having no intention of following them in.However, he did not leave.Inside the hospital ward.Elena propped up on the bed, her

Returning home

Lucas arched his brow. “And the very good news?”“Andrew is impotent.”For a moment, Lucas was stunned into silence.Then he burst into laughter, shaking his head.Once the family learned the truth, it would be over for both Chloe and Andrew.In the end, Elena successfully extricated herself from the dark pit and even avenged herself.———With Chloe relentlessly fanning the flames, Andrew wasted no time pushing forward with the divorce.The papers arrived at Elena’s doorstep almost immediately, but she didn’t rush to sign them.Instead, she negotiated for a hefty compensation.The sum was enough to make most people hesitate, but Andrew didn’t blink.Because according to Chloe’s words, the ten percent shares promised by Thomas were worth far more than the money he’d have to part with.Hence, he agreed.On the same day, they divorced, Andrew and Chloe married in a hastily arranged ceremony.Although the other members of the Elliot family were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to acce

The Lost time

“What the hell is she doing here?”Everyone turned toward the source of the voice.Standing at the top of the spiral stairs was a young woman, her beautiful features strikingly similar to Elena’s.Vanessa Walker, the youngest daughter of the Walker family, stared down at her with fire in her eyes as she gripped the railing tightly.“Vanessa Walker!” Yvette exclaimed and looked at her daughter sternly. “Watch your tone! Is this how you talk to your older sister?”“Older sister?” Vanessa scoffed, her voice rising in fury. “What kind of older sister abandons her family like her?”She descended the stairs, her heels clicking against the marble floor as she stopped before Elena.“Why now, Elena? Why come back after all these years? Who gave you the nerve to show up here like nothing happened? As if you didn’t tear this family apart with your selfish decisions. You should have just stayed out of our lives!”“Vanessa!” Dylan warned her, but Vanessa ignored him, focusing solely on Elena, who

Return of the Heiress

Yvette’s eyes flickered, but she feigned innocence. “You’ll see soon enough.”The grand estate of Emerald Ridge was bathed in soft lilac hues.From the cascading floral arrangements adorning the marble staircases to the delicate crystal chandeliers shimmering overhead.Every detail was a testament to the prestige held by the Walkers.Powerful politicians, elite business moguls, and aristocrats from prominent families all appeared at the banquet.They were all people the Elliots would never dream of approaching.While the Elliots were revered in Auburn Hills, their reach was confined to that city alone.The Walkers, however, were an unshakable force in the capital.One of the oldest aristocratic families with roots running both into wealth and power.But this empire wasn’t built overnight.Dylan Walker, the patriarch, had carefully expanded their business, Pristine Enterprise, into multiple industries.However, they mostly focused on the jewelry empire.And at the heart of this empire

Be a good boy

“Quite the evening, Miss Walker.”Elena froze mid-step.Her eyes constricted as they locked onto the man who appeared before her.Lucas Evans.The man stood with his usual cold, commanding presence, but his expression was shrouded with darkness.His towering figure loomed before her, like a predator in a finely tailored suit.Lucas took a step forward and suddenly pointed a gun at her head.“You…”Elena’s heart pounded in her ears as she instinctively stepped back.“How many more secrets are you hiding, Elena?” he asked, his voice laced with menace.Elena’s lips parted slightly, but no words came out.The man who had once saved her life was now standing in front of her with a weapon aimed at her head.“Answer me.” Lucas’s voice dropped further.The cold steel of the gun pressed against Elena’s forehead, but she didn’t flinch.Instead, her delicate fingers wrapped around the barrel, her dark blue eyes locking onto Lucas with an intensity mirroring his own.“This wasn’t part of our deal

Nepotism

The news about Elena becoming the next CEO spread like wildfire, but the outcome was unexpected.Inside the Pristine Enterprise.The long mahogany table stretched across the room, surrounded by a dozen stern-faced directors.Dylan Walker sat at the head of the table.While Elena sat beside him, her back straight and her face expressionless.The conference room buzzed with tension as the board members voiced their frustrations.“Chairman,” one of the senior directors, Mr. James, began, “Miss Elena has been absent from the family business for years. How can we trust her to suddenly manage an empire she hasn’t been a part of?”Another director chimed in, her glasses perched low on her nose as she stared at Elena. “We’re talking about the Pristine Enterprise, one of the largest conglomerates in the country. This isn’t some playhouse where positions can be handed out based on family ties.”Murmurs of agreement rippled through the table.“Chairman Walker,” Mr. Lee, one shareholder, interjec

Crisis

The weight of her words hung heavily in the air.Now no one could accuse her of nepotism or use her parents’ influence to shield herself from risk.One of the older directors couldn’t hold back his curiosity and spoke. “You’re willing to shoulder the entire financial risk of this project… on your own. Can I ask why?”“Yes,” Elena answered without hesitation. “Because I believe in this project. And I believe in myself.”Elena’s confidence wasn’t born out of arrogance.The partnerships she proposed were strategic and, if executed well, could elevate the Pristine Enterprise’s status globally.Elena’s lips curved into a faint smile as she continued. “I spent the last few years observing, learning, and strategizing. I may have been away from the company physically, but I’ve been monitoring everything. The Pristine Enterprise is my family’s blood and sweat, and I intend to protect it.”The shareholders exchanged glances, their expressions a mix of respect and intrigue.It wasn’t every day s

Fire and Ice

Vanessa rose from her chair and stormed out of her private room.The doors to Room No. 6 loomed in front of her, and without bothering to knock, she pushed them open.Inside, seated comfortably on a leather chair, was a man Vanessa had never seen before.He was tall and composed, with dark brown hair styled, and piercing eyes that glimmered with amusement.The corners of his mouth curled into a smirk as if he had been expecting her.“Hello, Miss Walker,” the man said lazily, swirling the champagne in his glass. “I was wondering how long it would take for you to visit me. You’re quicker than I expected.”Vanessa paused for a split second.Then her fiery temper flared.“Who the hell do you think you are? Are you purposely trying to mess with me?” she snapped.The man chuckled, feigning innocence. “Mess with you? Oh no, Miss Walker. I’m simply participating in the auction. Isn’t that what we’re all here for?”The nonchalance in his tone made Vanessa grit her teeth. “Enjoying the auction?
