Chloe was filled with excitement. The upcoming trip to Abu Dhabi felt like a dream vacation, and it was the perfect opportunity to unwind before the release of Girly Lux's fashion season samples and her wedding planning with Max. Standing in front of the mirror, she adjusted her hair and applied lipstick, enhancing her stunning oval face that complemented her curly hair.Max entered the room, glancing at his watch. "We have thirty minutes left," he announced."I'll be ready in ten," Chloe replied with a playful smile.Max's gaze trailed over her body. Her leather pants hugged her curves so perfectly, accentuating her figure. Chloe looked undeniably stunning, and Max couldn't help but stare. He approached her from behind, gently placing his hands on her hips, his body pressing against hers."You said thirty minutes," Chloe teased, chuckling softly."I know what I said... but how can I resist when you look this hot?" Max whispered, his lips grazing her neck.Chloe continued applying her

Debby strode into the room, clad in a sleek black suit that barely concealed her enticing red see-through top. Her skirt ended mid-thigh, revealing her confidence and hinting at her daring nature. The once cascading locks of her youthful hair had been transformed into vibrant, dyed pixie curls that framed her face. Every step she took emphasized her assertive presence, her waist swaying gracefully on six-inch heels.Max couldn't believe his eyes. "Debby?"She halted in her tracks, finally noticing the stranger in the room. The seriousness etched on her face melted away, replaced by a wide, genuine smile."Max! It's like a miracle!" Her voice brimmed with excitement as she approached him. "You haven't changed a bit."Max was taken aback by her sudden appearance. What was Debby doing in New York? And why was she representing Kincaid Company?She drew closer, her intention clear—a warm hug. Henry, seated nearby, smirked self-assuredly."You look amazing," she exclaimed.Max averted his g

“I’ll be expecting your call…” Debby’s audacious words still resonated in Max’s mind, no matter how hard he tried to forget them. She used her keen understanding of him to her advantage. Just what does she want, showing up at a time like this? His mind ran through a couple of possibilities that could explain her sudden resurfacing in his life at such a time like that.Deep down, he longed to be with Chloe, away from the confines of his office, his competitive work, and the apparent temptation that Debby would bring. Was this all a setup by Kincaid? He knew his arch-rival would go to the utmost lengths to get the upper hand in their rivalry. It could be a set up for a scandal and maybe a plot to get the whole contract to himself…ridiculous. He hadn’t taken out the card in his pocket since he had reached his office, as he feared he might dial it if he had taken it out. Ever since she’d stuffed that card into his breast pocket, each passing moment reminded him of their time together an

"That feeling of everything going your way," Alejandro let out a sigh of satisfaction, as he looked at Diego on his tablet's screen, "It's just so soothing, like a fairy tale." "I guess some time away from the dirty game is enough to get yourself back together," Diego said, grinning back at his brother from the other side of the world. "The sun looks beautiful over there, I wish I could be there enjoying the scenery with you, but I've got to handle business over here." "Well you will sometime in the near future, this is the last time we will be coming to Abu Dhabi," Alejandro said, relaxing in a comfy sofa, "How are things going over there? Hope you are handling business just like ‘DG’ would." "Sure I am, you've got nothing to worry about Señores, you have a good time over there," Diego said, with glee. "What about our little plaything, Sofia?" Alejandro asked with a wicked smile hanging from his face, "I am very doubtful that you have been able to resist her sweet ass since then."

"Just calm down a bit..." Gray said to Chloe from the other end of the line. "The worst thing you can do right now is to panic. Just calm down and tell me what it is.""Alright," Chloe said, breathing out a sigh that did very little to calm her down. "I will send you a short voice message shortly. You won't believe..." She still couldn't believe what her ears had heard. Her heart was almost failing her at that point.She quickly hung up and frantically went ahead to forward the voice message from Alejandro to him immediately. With nothing but sheer fright and uncertainty, she had her eyes on her screen till the message was marked as read.Her phone buzzed in her hands so suddenly that she nearly let go of it. But then, it wasn't Gray on the line. "Goodness... Max," she said as she contemplated picking up the call in the state that she was in at the moment. If she didn't pick, she would be giving him the notion that she was hiding something from him, and that would make him all the mor
