“We will live together as husband and wife under the same roof for a year. When the year ends, we are going to file for a divorce. After our separation, you can do whatever you like, and I can do mine. We are free from any accountability from each other.”“While we were married, we had to keep appearances at all costs, especially in front of my grandfather. Pretend that you are crazy about me. Understand?”Wyoming nodded, trying to keep a straight face while listening to Cayden read the supplemental contract his lawyer drew for them. They were inside the study room in Cayden’s mansion. This is the first place he brought her to after they came from the hospital. This is also going to be her temporary home for a year. “We have separate quarters. My private quarters are off-limits to you.” He warned.Wyoming rolled her eyes when he was not looking. Why does he keep on insisting that she has any designs over him? Wyoming threw him an exasperated look and started doodling with h
Inside the car, Wyoming unconsciously rubbed the palms of her hands on her dress.Cayden did not respond to her message. She looked outside the window and saw they were getting near their destination, and she began to panic. Alicia Ellish, noting her nervousness and misinterpreting it, tried to appease her. All the while, she held Wyoming’s hands between hers and patted them gently.“Do not worry, dear. Noah, Cayden's grandfather is a good man.” She assured Wyoming countless times, not understanding the reason for her panicked state.Alicia was also surprised when Noah’s private nurse called to relay the old man's request - get Cayden’s wife to visit him soon. The request delighted her. She felt in her gut that Noah Ellish liked Wyoming for her son, and in her excitement, she did not waste any more time. She went hurriedly to Cayden's mansion to fetch his wife. Alicia would also like to take advantage of the time to bond with her. She never had a chance to be a mother to a d
After Cayden had deliberately and spontaneously dealt a blow to Andi Smith’s ego, Cayden turned around to sweep everyone with a chilly gaze. “Sorry people, I have to go. Please keep tabs with my office on the changes we will implement soon.” Without waiting for a reply, Cayden walked out of the waiting lounge ignoring the stunned crowd he left behind. He walked crisply and briskly that all the journalists could do was helplessly follow his retreat with regret on their faces. They could have gotten more information from him. Cayden rarely indulges the media with his elusive presence. The journalists wanted to ask him more questions, and his abrupt leave whetted their appetite for more of him. And there is only one person responsible for it - Andi Smith! She ruined their interview! They could not believe that any man would ignore Andi's unparalleled beauty. As Ellish Film Production's prime artist, Andi Smith commands royalty treatment. So why did Cayden Ellish make
As the trio composed of Alicia, Cayden, and Wyoming stepped out of Noah’s suite, Cayden’s bodyguards alertly covered them. Cayden’s arms which previously snaked her waist, dropped like a log to his side when they were already out of the old man’s sight. Cayden’s unexpected action had Wyoming dig her feet to the floor to keep her body from reeling. Cayden, not realizing that he almost made her lose her footing, abruptly turned to his mother while purposely looking at his expensive watch. “Mom, can you drop Wyoming off?" "I have to go ahead. My flight is in thirty minutes.” Then without looking back or even telling Wyoming goodbye, Cayden walked ahead of them, his bodyguards following him like goons. When they were gone, Wyoming looked awkwardly at Alicia, who returned her smile with a kind-hearted one. “Come on. I will take you home.” Alicia invited. They rode the elevator in silence. Wyoming felt compelled to make small talk but could not find her voice. She felt shy
Cayden’s body fell face first on the bed. He was bone tired running around Mayflower District searching for Tori Hutton.After two days of unfruitful search, he finally gave up. He had to accept the fact that Tori was gone. Cayden felt he should have done that the day Tori walked out, but his heart refused to think about it.He refused to accept that she was gone and clung to the littlest hope that he could still persuade her to change her mind and marry him.Now, the harsh, painful truth glared at him. Tori was ready to throw everything away the day she walked out on him.Cayden sighed.He does not know what to do anymore.He was tired and hungry and a bit angry with himself.He should have stayed in New York and let his people bring Tori back.But his excitement got the better of him.He wanted to see her - ask
“Wyoming, you are back!” Marie shouted after she got out of the car driven by Teddy and screeched to a stop to hug her.“Marie, it was nice to see you. What’s up?” Marie darted a glance at a formal Teddy who shut the door after Wyoming got out before she whispered.“I am more than fine since he was the one who drove you here. Oh my! He is really cute.”The two girls giggled. It was a no-brainer to anyone around that Marie had the hots for Teddy.Marie linked their hands together and drew her inside.“Come, Mrs. Benson prepared breakfast. You must be hungry.”Wyoming stopped. She did not know that the housekeeper took so much effort for her return. She felt sad turning them down, especially since Marie seemed happy this morning.“Oh. I already had breakfast with my
A wail escaped Wyoming’s lips when Cayden’sbody weight dropped on her while she frantically spread her arms wide to catch him, stop him from falling to the ground. The alarm in her voice alerted Teddy, Marie, and Mrs. Benson. Sensing that she needed help, the three hurriedly ran to her side to help peel the unconscious Cayden away from her. "Thank, god! I thought I was going to be squished back there." She said, relieved. Teddy still supporting most of Cayden's body weight, informed them that Cayden's out cold. Then, he wrapped Cayden's arms around his shoulder to take the bulk of his weight off Wyoming, who smiled gratefully at him. Wyoming did the same on Cayden’s other arm, putting it behind her shoulders while she and Teddy tried to carry him upstairs to his room. It took them a while and a lot of effort. Cayden is a big man. He was also quite tall. Wyoming felt her muscles protest with every move, but they managed.Marie assisted. She hurriedly ran up the stairs ahea
“You could have killed me, you j*rk!” Wyoming pawed at Cayden when she got her wind back. She could not believe that he would dunk her in the pool. She hit him: on the chest, cheek, and arms, unaware of where her fists landed. All she knew was she wanted to vent, and vent she did. Cayden did not try to retaliate. He covered his face and tried to dodge, so she sometimes missed his face, but when she did, she would aim for his chest or any part of his body that she could come in contact with. She was so angry!“I don’t know how to swim!” She yelled at him. “You never told me.” He said it like it was her fault. Wyoming’s nostrils flared. “Idiot! How can I tell a total stranger that bit of information?” Then, she swatted his arms when he tried to subdue her. She hit him again, harder this time. Cayden grunted when her fists landed again on his chest. On her next assault, he covered her fist with his hand and engulfed her. “Let go!” She shrieked when he clamped her right
