★★★★ "Is that a hickey?" Mark asked, getting up from the chair he had been sitting in only a moment earlier and holding the nearly empty paper cup of coffee in his hand. "How come?" Monica spoke incoherently for a moment before turning to face Mark, who was staring her in the neck. It was then that she realized she had neglected to conceal the mark William had given her in order to trick his grandfather. “Oh, shit!" Her hand moved to a neck before resting it on the imprint, fumbling, "This is not what you imagine." "Do my opinions matter to you?" Mark questioned with a smirk on his lips as he noticed Monica becoming uneasy, her throat swallowing while she tried to convince Mark that it wasn't a hickey, but she didn't really need to explain it. “No, but I do not want you to presume something else and disseminate this to Hanson, and then other people will start talking about it, even though it is not what you are thinking." Monica crossed her arms across her chest, allowing Mark
★★★“I have had enough of your son's bluster, Winston," Mr. Hughes yelled at William's father while sitting in Mackenzie's mansion.“Barton, please accept my heartfelt apologies. I was completely uninformed of Williams' actions, and I do not support them. But considering that he is no longer a young man, I have less control over him, nevertheless, I assured you he would divorce that woman and marry your daughter," Winston remarked in a sincere attempt to get Barton to understand. They were more than just closest friends; they supported one another greatly in both their personal and professional lives and looked out for one another as if they were brothers.“I can't even begin to think the amount of dirt I would have to endure if this news were to surface in the public. Furthermore, my daughter will be the second woman in William's life," With a furious expression, Barton pounded the table. When he went to see William at Makenzie's office, they were informed that he had departed Aus
★★★ “If you want to keep your hands intact, don't touch me! The money I gave you is sufficient for the work you just completed, so get up and leave the room gratefully," William spoke with a warning voice since he had had enough of this woman who had already been warned to leave the room but insisted on staying and incessantly trying to touch him. “I have been told that I must spend this evening with you, and I am prepared to do so," said the woman with blonde hair as she pushed her breasts to protrude more from her dress and wooed William with a confident voice. In contrast, William maintained a neutral expression, suggesting that he was not at all disturbed by this seductress, which was apparent on his face as well. All he was waiting for was for Monica to call and cry to him. If she could openly flirt with anyone in his absence then he could too, regardless he liked it or not. Baron, seated in the corner of the room, seemed to be frozen in thought as he stared at the woman and
★★★★As the night grew deeper, the snow began to fall. Those snowflakes gushed from the sky with such grace and elegance, tenderly landing on the earth. By daybreak, Edinburgh should be completely coated in snow, everyone was going to be celebrating Christmas with gusto, though Christmas had still days to come. The shops and streets were all lit up. After tonight, the snow would be praised for enhancing the magnificence of this metropolis.Sitting in the car, Monica sobbed uncontrollably and wondered why William would do such a thing. He was lying to her all the time. To start, he kept Katherine a secret from her, who became her fiercest adversary, and now this woman. Was she truly so low? Did she have no respect in his eyes?Angrily, Monica turned off her phone and even took the wedding ring off her hand before stepping out of the car. Such betrayals were too much for her to withstand.She started to amble aimlessly, not caring that it was becoming late and she had to go back to
★★★ “I have located Miss Monica's automobile on 67th Lane, boss, and uh.." Sam hesitated to say anything more since he knew how the silent storm operated and William stayed silent the entire time on the other end of the call. “Well, Miss Monica, on the other hand, has left not only her phone but also her wedding ring on the car seat," Sam responded, blowing out the fog as his eyes scanned for Miss Monica. Considering the car was here, it suggested she had not gone too far and she did not have a place where she could stay for the rest of the night. “Miss Monica is obstinate, and that is what worries me. I am unable to think of anywhere she can go considering that the snow has begun to fall and walking is unlikely to get her through the night," Sam expressed his concern to William, who was on the phone. Hearing everything left William fuming like a beast, his teeth were tense, and his eyes were bloodshot with rage. What did she imply by leaving the wedding ring? Was she looking forw
★★★ Katherine arrived in Australia around midnight after receiving the card from Henry, who, unexpectedly, did not ask her a single question about why she required that specific card, which was generally used in their work travel. No Guards would let anyone near a member of the Mackenzie family without this card. “The boss is pressed down, Miss Katherine, yet he has no desire to talk to me about it. Thus, hopefully, you will find a solution to his issue," Baron spoke in an agitated manner as he moved in front of Katherine to assist her in reaching William's chamber. “Baron, You would be the ideal helper for him, I could never fathom. We both know how important William is, so I am delighted you told me about it. I will take care of him, thank you," Katherine said with the lovely grin that everyone liked about her. But behind the surface, the devil was smiling, knowing how tonight would go down in history. “Alright," Baron muttered, giving a glance at the closed door as his pounding
★★★★Without shutting his eyes all night, Baron eventually got out of bed in a state of panic and made his way to Williams's room to check whether there was any disturbance or if his boss had departed.His feet came to a halt in front of the door, but he discovered it locked. Just as a room cleaner was passing him to another room, Baron hurried to her,"Did you clean this room?" Baron questioned, pointing his finger at the barred door.“Since we are not allowed to bother the guest and there is no instruction regarding cleaning the room, I have not been there." With a scathing reply, the woman hurried to the other room.Baron felt a weight lift from his chest as he learned there had been no call to reception and neither did he face his angry Boss, indicating that everything was alright within the room. The boss accepted his surprise. Baron smiled, huffing a calm breath, knowing he did well by summoning Miss Katherine because she was the medicine his boss desired.After being tens
★★★ “Baron, William's assistant? Why would he plot against you?" Henry responded with a puzzled expression, his frown deepening. As soon as he awoke, there was a cyclone of confusion in front of him and his brain couldn't comprehend Katherine's remarks. “Katherine, please stop. I am starting to think you approach this room with a purpose, but you're unaware that this isn't William who is staying there. Am I correct?" Henry did not waste time wondering why this had occurred; he dealt with the matter immediately. “Put an end to it! No, I did not! You are the one who trapped me in a plan; I had nothing to do with it," Katherine screamed in wrath when Henry grabbed hold of the thread, which Katherine purposefully chose to overlook. “Did you not?" Henry dismissed Katherine's outburst. "Were you abducted or were you brought here against your will?" Henry inquired carefully, staring into Katherine's eyes, which were filled with regretful sorrow, the cause for which was clear to him. K
