"Come on! You claimed that this would be a true kidnapping, yet you are unable to complete the task? What's the purpose?” "I'll do it if you won't! Mortgages for more than a dozen residences are drowning us! We'll have to jump off a building if we don't have any money." As Haley put things together, her heart fell. In recent years, the economy had collapsed, and house values had reached all-time lows. Due to their inability to make their payments, several real estate speculators who had purchased houses years earlier were now in danger of going into foreclosure. This explained by the fact that they were just regular men driven to the brink and down a perilous path out of desperation. Haley anxiously said, "Wait!" as the younger man raised the block once more. “I'll give you five million dollars if you let me go. I'll add an additional $500,000.” The man froze, his eyes glowing with avarice. "Really?" His expression was soon clouded with doubt. "Stop the nonsense! You don't have

Kieran threw open the car door and ran into the hotel, not even thinking to take out the car keys. He ran up to the Room number and discovered the door slightly open. He leaped inside with a quick kick. The bedding were all over the place, and the room was barely illuminated. In the center of the bed was a barely discernible figure. He felt his heart race to his throat. "Haley?" The woman's response was muffled. "Mmm..." Kieran felt a shiver run up his back. He sprang forward. "Is that you, honey? Are you alright?" He was about to draw back the blankets when a thin hand appeared out of nowhere and latched itself around his neck. The woman swiftly undid the buttons on his shirt and skillfully removed his suit jacket before he could respond. As her fingers touched Kieran’s flesh, his immediate panic gave way to an unexpected surge of heat. "Haley, you..." he said in a broken voice. The woman merely let out gentle, seductive groans without responding. Kieran’s throat became par

"A lesson well learned," she muttered.Rhett only tightened his grip on her. "Enough. The past is the past. The life we have ahead of us is what counts right now.”Haley gathered her disorganized thoughts and said softly, "You're right."He grinned, took her into his arms with ease, and turned to face the bedroom. "I'm not finished with you yet."Her eyes grew wide with astonishment. "Don't you have work today?"His voice became hoarse with purpose as he gently placed her on the bed. "I've discovered something far more... addictive.""Please, Rhett. She pushed feebly against his chest and begged, "I need to rest."He leaned over her and said, "Then just lie still."As his warm lips met hers, Haley could only let out a resigned moan.*****Rhett appeared completely rejuvenated and full of energy when he brought breakfast into the room an hour later. Haley, on the other hand, was exhausted.Before gently assisting her into a silk pajama set, he fed her mouthful by bite in bed.She real

"No rush," Haley said, keeping her eyes down while a silver fork spun sliced almonds about her plate. “As it is, everything is good. Going public would just result in further problems.” "Trouble?" Vance smirked slightly as he idly stirred his lemon water with a silver spoon. "Rhett is the talk of the socialite circle—complete eye candy with elite fortune, as Drei stated the other day. He is being pursued by half of the city's socialites. Recently, his mother has been in D city, ostensibly to pressure him into getting married. She drags Eleanor to all the ladies' galas and luncheons. Strangers would swear they were mother and daughter when I saw them last week at a charity function, holding hands." Haley grinned and traced sluggish circles on the tablecloth, saying, "What's to be afraid of? This marriage license isn't a fake that I made up.” Vance chuckled while biting into a butter croissant. "You make a valid point. Rhett’s mother is no longer able to control him due to his curre

Haley felt a sudden shock and tried reflexively to pull her foot back. "Please, don't do this," she pleaded in a strained voice. Refusing to let go, Arlene stood motionless, her knuckles white from the ferocity of her hold. "I won't let go, Ley, not until you promise to forgive him!" she said with a desperate, bordering on frantic, resolve. Her screams were deep and agonizing as tears ran down her cheeks. "You are free to punish him however you see fit when you get home! If necessary, I will disown my own kid! I can't lose you, though. Do you not comprehend?” With tears in her eyes, Stephanie hurried forward and added, "Mrs. Colin has cried herself nearly blind over this business between you and Mr. Colin. Lydia, you are aware that she never had time for it! That woman will never enter our house as long as Mrs. Colin is around. Just return, please. Everything will be okay." Desmond, who is generally mute, managed to mumble, "Ley, for our sake, just..." Haley’s head jerked up, and
