Vernon Knight is the third generation of his family, but he chose not to take over as chairperson because he wanted to provide for his wife and their future child because his siblings have their own families. He is the only one on whom the father can rely for their business.So, it is in their law that they may not have a mistress and to love and care for their wife as the chairperson did for their mother, Josephine.“Vernon…”Vernon returned to his work after looking at his wife. “Hmm?”Sharlene bit her lower lip and approached her husband, who was still at work, although it was late at night.“I understand you’re busy, but…”Sharlene closed her eyes because it embarrassed her about what she wanted to do because it was not her habit.“Hmm… Do you want to do it?” asked Vernon, smirking.Her eyes widened, and she shook her head, but Vernon smirked at him and kissed Sharlene, so Sharlene did nothing but go with the flow because she missed the warmth of her husband’s kiss.Sharlene had j
THIRD POVThe night they’ve been expecting has arrived. The clash between the Knights and Solen Madrid.“There are so many people here! We can’t move!” Lux grumbled, adjusting with her earbuds. Her cousins were covering their ears, because of her voice.“Don’t be so loud, Lux!”“Your voice is irritating my ears!”Lux sighed and rolled her eyes. “Whatever!” She crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, while Ara, who was already bored, sat next to her.“Boring! Isn’t Solen here yet? Isn’t she going to introduce herself?” asked Ara.Lux rolled her eyes once again.“Perhaps she’s planning how to trap us in her event,”Ara smirked and took a glass of wine from a server.“Trap, huh? Did she really plan the event for the Knights? Oh, she looks pathetic,” she smirked. “Brother Carter is correct! She is still new to this, TSK.” She had just finished her wine.Lux frowned because Ara appeared to be drunk.“Arabelle!”Ara raised an eyebrow at her. “What?”Lux sighed and shook her head. “Ho
“Everyone, good evening…”A woman wearing a mask appeared. When she saw the Knights with emotionless eyes just staring at her, she smiled, but she was looking for someone but couldn’t find her.“Welcome to my event! My name is Solen Madrid from Madrid Enterprise,” she said, as she turned to face her guests tonight. “I know many of you are wondering who the woman you are seeing dressed as Solen Madrid is. She just pretended to be me, probably because she was greedy, but don’t worry, I am the real Solen Madrid. Enjoy the party!”People applauded and congratulated her. She only smiled, but she was more interested in the Knights.“Oh, there she is,” said the woman who was drinking outside the event.“She even made up lies to conceal her true colors!”The woman smirked and focused on Solen Madrid, who was excited about what was going to happen tonight.***“I’m not certain, but I have a bad feeling right now,” said Lux.“Yeah, she took a long time to come out, and all she’s going to say is
It took a back Solen when she discovered what she had been looking for. She turned to face the Knights, believing that everything was planned by them, as well as clenched her fist, unsure what to do.“You came!”Scarlett smirked and leaned back in her chair, her legs crossed. “Of course, I want to meet her,” she said with a smile.As they spotted Scarlett’s some pals, they just shook their heads.“F-ck! I knew it! No one can block me except Claire,” Sander grumbled in the monitor room. Sandro patted his shoulder.They noticed Aaron appeared to be fine.“Are you okay, Aaron?” asked Lux, concerned about her cousin.Solen was startled and looked at Aaron with wide eyes, since it was obvious Aaron was fine.“Yeah, I’m still alive…” Aaron smirked at his cousins and winked at Solen, who remained silent.She shook her head, unable to believe that her plan had turned out so badly. “I-I poisoned you!” Solen yelled, covering her mouth as she realized she had said the wrong thing.The Knights tur
DOMINIC’s POVI woke up with the sun’s rays on my skin, so I closed my eyes and held my head while suffering from a hangover.Damn it!My heart raced as I realized Scarlett wasn’t by my side.“Damn!”I jumped out of bed and dressed. Last night felt like the last moment we talked. I also assume she will leave me again.“Oh, son?”When I saw Mom, I went down the stairs and approached her right away.“Have you seen Scarlett?”Mom came to a halt, startled. “Huh?”I frowned at her reaction, wondering if mom was up to something.“Have you seen her?” I asked, shaking mom, but she couldn't look at me. “Mom!” I yelled.She sighed and smiled before touching my cheek.“Let’s eat. I’ll make you something to eat,” she said as she caressed my cheek and proceeded to the dining area.I just followed her with a frown, since she was odd.“Do you know where Scarlett is? Isn’t she back at the mansion?”I was hoping mom would respond, but she didn’t because she was still taking care of my food.“If you do
THIRD POV“D-Dominic…”Dominic paused and looked up, but when he saw Sophia, he lost his appetite.“What are you doing here? Isn’t enough what I told you?” asked Dominic. Sophia bowed her head and approached Dominic, who gave her a frown.Dominic massaged his forehead, getting more irritated with Sophia. He pushed her several times, but instead of quitting, the woman became more stubborn…“I know you’re busy, so I’d like you to relax,” Sophia said as she sat on Dominic’s lap.“W-what the hell!” he yelled, pushing Sophia. “What are you doing, huh?!? Get out!” he yelled, pointing to the door, but Sophia still didn’t leave, which irritated him even more.“D-Dominic, I told you I’m the only one who can satisfy all of your needs,” said Sophia as she approached Dominic. “This is my body; I will give it to you because we have nowhere to go, and we can no longer enter the mansion.”“Sophia,” he took a deep breath. “Stop it. I’ve told you many times, but you didn’t listen. Please, I need to fi
Dominic stormed out of his office and saw his secretary, who it surprised.“S-Sir?”“Cancel all my meetings,” he said, wearing his suit. His secretary’s eyes widened, and he stood up.“But, sir…”He looked at his secretary, and his secretary bowed.“I need to do something important, and I know I can count on you,” he smiled. When his secretary nodded, he patted him on the back.“If anyone comes looking for me, please tell them I went somewhere.”His secretary nodded once again, and he left the office to meet with Scarlett.He got into his car and drove to the location where Scarlett was waiting for him.While he was nervous and anxious because Scarlett wanted to meet him. He also at a loss for what to say to the person he loves.There weren’t many people when he entered an exclusive bar because it was early and the bar wasn’t really open yet, so he just went straight to where Scarlett was.Dominic also noticed Scarlett, who’d been stunned while holding a wineglass.He sighed and came
SCARLETT’S POV(A/n: This was before Scarlett’s leaving and her last conversation with Dominic.)“Wait… Why now?”I sighed and turned to face Claire.“Dominic will not stop as long as I am here.”She chuckled and pointed at me.“That fool really loves you, doesn’t he? He’ll do anything to please you.”In annoyance, I kicked her and crossed my arms.“Damn, why is he so annoying?!?”Claire giggled and wrapped her arms around me.“That’s why you liked Dominic because he was annoying, right, Mrs. Stone?” asked Claire with a smile, which irritated me.“Shut the f-ck up, Perkins!” I yelled, but she just laughed.“Let him be; he appears to be regretting what he did.”I sighed and leaned in my swivel chair.“It’s difficult Claire, especially now that I don’t know the safety of my children, so I’ll entrust the children to him,” I said, looking at the white board filled in pictures of Madrid Enterprise members.“It looks Solen is quiet now,” she said suddenly, which made me think.Solen went si
