Kendra smirked at first, then let out a bitter chuckle.

“How did he even know that's my favourite car?” She asked no one but herself, her voice low and she sounded annoyed.

She squeezed the card tightly in her hand, almost crushing it.

“This man has to learn that I'm not interested in him. Why would he send a car? Does he think this will change anything?”

She took the flower bouquet from the driver and the car key as well, feeling a mix of anger and confusion.

    “Grandma, your room is prepared,” Mrs Harlan announced smoothly as she entered. “And one for Miss Emily as well.” Both women stood up. Kendra let out a long, shaky breath and stood up too, clutching her phone and handbag. She handed the bag to Chef Amara. “Take this to the study, please,” Kendra instructed quietly. “No one is allowed in there. Not even Grandma.” Chef Amara nodded without question. “And Mrs Harlan,” Kendra added, lowering her voice further, “please make sure no one goes searching through the house.” With that, she walked out, taking the lift down to the main entrance. Her heart pounded as she pushed through the tall gate and stepped into the cool evening air. Knox was there, leaning against his sleek black car, arms folded. He looked up as she approached, ran a hand through his hair. “What are you doing here?” Kendra asked, her voice cold and tired. “What’s wrong?” he replied, stepping forward. “You’re what’s wrong. Stay away from me. Why did you…” “You

    Kendra stepped out of the lift, her heels clicking softly against the polished marble floor of the entrance hall. The day had been endless, signing one contract after another in that stuffy office downtown, her mind foggy with exhaustion. All she wanted was a hot shower, a cup of tea, and her bed. But as she walked into the living room, her jaw dropped, and her eyes widened in genuine shock.“Grandma?” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.There, perched on the edge of the cream sofa like she owned the place, sat her mother’s mother. The old woman’s silver hair was pulled back tightly, her face etched with lines that spoke of bitterness. Beside her was Emily, Kendra’s cousin, looking uncomfortable in a simple blouse and jeans, fiddling with the strap of her handbag.Kendra hasn’t seen them in years. As far as she knew, Grandma still lived in her brownstone in New York, and they've never been close. Not really. Not since Kendra had chosen to rebuild her relationship with her

    Knox sat there in the dim underground room, the name still echoing off the concrete walls. “Richard Thompson,” Diego said again in a low, defeated tone, his head hanging slightly as the pain from the hot water continued to throb through his body.Knox let out a harsh laugh, the sound rough and bitter, cutting through the tension like a knife. Despite everything that bastard had already done to Kendra, he still wanted her dead. Knox rubbed his face hard with one hand, feeling the heat of his own anger rising like a wildfire in his chest. His jaw clenched tight, teeth grinding together as he savored the rage, letting it fuel him."Is he the only one?" Knox asked, his voice sharp and demanding.Diego nodded weakly, wincing from the movement. “Yes, he's the only one. He invited me to this quiet cafe. Met me there himself, no middlemen at first. Told me straight up about the job. Said Kendra was trying to destroy his life, that he just wanted her gone for good. He made it sound like s

    Knox wiped his lips with the back of his hand, the taste of whiskey still lingering from the glass he'd just downed upstairs. He turned sharply and walked toward the back of the mansion, his footsteps echoing through the dimly lit hallway. The place was quiet now, too quiet, like the calm before another storm. He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a small black remote. With a quick press of his thumb, a hidden panel in the floor slid open smoothly, revealing a set of narrow concrete steps descending into darkness. He glanced over his shoulder once, making sure no one else was around, then carefully climbed down. The air grew cooler and damper as he went, carrying that familiar underground mustiness mixed with the sharp scent of fear and sweat. At the bottom, a heavy metal door waited. Knox pushed it open, stepping into the dimly lit chamber. Two of his men stood guard on either side of a figure tied to a metal chair in the center of the room. The capti

Does he think this will change anything?” She took the flower bouquet from the driver and the car key as well, feeling a mix of anger and confusion. “Did you inspect the car?” She asked suspiciously. “Yes Ma'am, it's safe,” the driver replied right away. “Get an escort quickly for me,” she ordered, and the driver nodded before walking off to arrange one of the other cars in the park. Kendra entered the new car, shutting the door with a bit more force than necessary. She started the engine, listening to it purr smoothly. It was a nice car, she had to admit, but that didn't make her any happier about who sent it. She drove straight to Knox’s mansion, with her

    Kendra was dressed in a pencil red skirt suit. She stood in front of the big mirror in her luxurious bedroom, straightening her tie carefully while staring at her own reflection. The suit hugged her figure perfectly, making her look powerful and elegant at the same time. “I can't believe I'm this beautiful,” she murmured to herself, touching her hair gently, running her fingers through the smooth strands. She turned her head from side to side, admiring how the light caught her features. It felt good to see herself like this, confident and put together. When she was still married to Richard, things were so different. She barely dressed up as this beautiful. Most days it was just simple gowns or sometimes she wouldn't even bother dressing up properly because she wasn't going anywhere special. Life back then felt like it was on pause, trapped in that marriage with no real excitement. But now, everything has changed. She was free, living in this big mansion on her island,

    The moment Richard realized how tightly he was gripping her wrist, his expression changed. His fingers loosened immediately. "Did I hurt you?" he asked, his voice softening. "I'm sorry. I was worried. You left the mansion without telling anyone." Kendra stared at him. The concern in his eyes

    In the third year of her marriage, Kendra Thompson discovered that her husband was cheating on her. Not only that, she found out he was cheating on her with her best friend. The woman she trusted more than anyone. The woman who had stood beside her on her wedding day, smiling and holding her bouq

    Kendra's palm stung from the impact, the sharp crack echoing across the now-silent executive floor like a gunshot. Richard staggered back a step, his hand flying to his reddening cheek, eyes wide with shock and fury. For a second, the great Richard Thompson looked small—vulnerable, exposed under

    Richard's fingers tightened around the documents. His face darkened with every page he turned. The confidence that had always surrounded him was beginning to crack."Kendra. What exactly are you trying to do? Because I chose your friend and you..."Kendra folded her arms. "No, no. If you'd rather c
