"Friend, Lindsey went all out; she gave a tremendous lesson to Courtney in front of the cameras. This is a trigger for her family to retaliate against her. They know she's changed and won't let herself be trampled on," Freed expressed, sitting on the other side of the desk."I've assigned two bodyguards to watch her every move. Take care of our cameramen and the recordings they made of the models. Ensure that Pratt Company, the fashion house, and our designers don't suffer any harm.""That's ready. The cameras on-site didn't record anything, and I cleaned up the place where those two pests were. There's no evidence they were at the event.""I want you to get the photos Courtney has of my wife with those two guys and make them disappear.""I'll take care of that. The hacker will check all of Courtney's devices and digital storage and do his job. I've also infiltrated someone into her house to check every corner and look for physical photos," Freed calmly explained."We need to keep an
Kyle circled his desk and sat in his large chair; she followed him coquettishly, intending to sit on his lap, but he stopped her with a hand."Catrina, you better sit down," he exclaimed, cold as ice.Catrina, taken aback, opened her eyes wide. For the first time since she's known him, she feels fear in the words of the man before her. She turned away, taking sensual steps, swaying her hips to appear attractive. She sat in front of the desk, crossing one leg over the other, partially opening them. She lifted her dress to reveal a part of her intimate clothing, pushed her chest forward to emphasize her voluptuous breasts, ran a hand through her hair, delicately placing it forward. Then, she moistened her lower lip with her tongue and bit it with a lustful smile."Catrina, lower your dress and sit properly," he clarified in a threatening tone."Tell me you don't like what you see.""Catrina, we need to keep our distance. Starting today, you will not work in the company, and I'll continu
"Gentlemen, I would appreciate it if you leave my house and spare us the insults. Who knows who might be seeking retribution for the ones your daughter has caused," Lindsey declared firmly."What do you mean, gentlemen? We raised you. You ungrateful wretch," Kathen retorted, arrogant and haughty."What should I be grateful for? For the beatings I endured in that house that belonged to my mother? For being held captive because my so-called father could lose her? For the times I went to bed hungry as a child because I couldn't prepare my own food? For the humiliations you subjected me to whenever our paths crossed? Don't be ridiculous. After years of contempt and insults, do you really think I owe you anything?" Lindsey spoke with strength, trying to appear brave even though she was trembling with fear inside.Kathen was outraged by Lindsey's defiance and decided to teach her a lesson. She took a step forward, raising her hand."You insignificant wretch, I'll teach you respect!" she sho
Kyle got up with her, and they headed to the kitchen. Gladys saw her with the swollen cheek, surprised, but didn't want to ask to avoid being intrusive."What happened, my girl? Oh God, who did this to you?" Emilia was entering the kitchen at that moment, and when she saw her face, she covered her mouth.Lindsey began to tell her what had happened."I wish I could have been there to put those two in their place. They have no scruples to mistreat a sweet and kind girl like you. I'm sorry that you have such people as family in your life."Lindsey shrugged, Gladys served them the food, and they began to eat together.After finishing dinner, Kyle took her by the hand and led her towards the stairs. Once in the bedroom,"Lin, I have to punish you. I promised that woman, and today you caused chaos. You need to be more careful.""But I was the one wronged. Look at my swollen cheek. You're a pervert, lustful..." she grumbled discontentedly and began to protest."Your cheek is better than when
"Are you still with Catrina? That woman won't make it easy for you," Freed added."I just left the apartment.""How did you leave her?""She's fine. I need a drink. I'll wait for you at the club."Lindsey was keeping an eye on her husband; he hadn't arrived yet. She fell asleep for a while until she woke up thinking about him. Seeing the empty space beside her, she got up and went down to the kitchen. Opening the fridge, she took out a pitcher and poured herself a glass of water, not realizing when someone entered the house.Kyle saw her in the kitchen, wearing a two-piece pajama, a tank top, and shorts, showcasing her beautiful figure. He approached immediately; his head was a mess, not to mention the glasses of whiskey he had while talking to Freed. She was his calm, and he wanted to devour her right there.Lindsey placed a glass in the sink when she felt strong and possessive arms hugging her from behind. She startled, but before she could scream, a whisper reached her ear."Calm d
They entered and found Grandpa awake, happy to see them. Kyle approached, hugging him with emotion."You're squeezing me too hard, boy. Look at my poor bones; they can't take much more.""Sorry, Grandpa. When they told me about the accident, I thought the worst. I'm glad you're okay.""Kids, I'm glad to see you together. Has Sussan woken up?""Yes, Grandpa. We're going to see her now.""What have you found out about the accident?""Nothing new. Let the police handle it.""Here, I can't do anything," the old man commented, distressed.The elderly man, who had always been in control of everything, felt powerless for not being able to intervene. Due to the rise in his blood pressure, his grandson forbade his people from approaching and doing anything that could affect his health.The couple left that room and headed to the next room where Sussan was waiting for them."Mom, it's good to see you awake," Kyle gave her a warm hug, and a smile of happiness."You don't know how happy I am to b
"Now I really have to go. Our farewell ends here," Kyle was already quite drunk.Since they entered the apartment, Catrina encouraged him to toast. Given the time they had known each other, she knew he wasn't a good drinker. The alcohol had a quick effect on him, especially when combined, as it was in his case. Catrina sat on his lap and started kissing him."Stay with me tonight? Yes, tomorrow you'll go back to Manhattan to play happy family. Let me say goodbye properly to the one who was my love, because I did fall in love with you.""Don't start, Catrina. Get off. I told you I feel nothing for you. Just get up; I need to go to my room," he slurred, feeling dizzy. He cursed himself for not taking precautions; he knew he couldn't mix drinks, yet he had whisky at the meeting and mixed it with wine here.Upon hearing him speak, Catrina grinned maliciously and quickly got off. She pulled him by the hand, dragging him into the bedroom, threw him on the bed, took off his shoes, and climbe
Four weeks passed, and Kyle prepared a surprise for his wife."Love, can we go tomorrow night or early Saturday? I have a gynecological checkup tomorrow," she pleaded playfully while they were having dinner."No! Pack a suitcase for three days and four nights at the beach.""But if you had it planned, why didn't you tell me in advance?""Aren't you happy with the surprise? If you want to cancel the trip.""Noooo...! You're crazy! Of course, I'm happy to spend a weekend with my husband away from everything. I'm just saying you could have told me earlier so I could start getting my things ready, and you would have our bags ready.""If you're going to complain, the medical appointment can wait until Monday. As for your work, you'll only miss a day, and you can fix that by calling Janna. Today, I managed to arrange for Freed to take charge of the company. Eat up; we're leaving in two hours," he said, cutting a piece of meat and bringing it to his mouth."Alright! But you pack your suitcas
