Whitney happily flies in to get a marriage license with her longtime boyfriend. Instead, he cancels coldly and chooses another woman—his adopted sister. Hearing him confess his true feelings shatters Whitney’s heart. Realizing she’ll always come second, she must decide: walk away quietly, or finally fight for herself.
Even if Whitney was annoyed with him or held resentment, he couldn’t bear the idea of her enduring this pain alone on such a day. “Carter, what are you looking for?” Tina called out from the entrance, her voice cutting through his thoughts. “Oh, Tina, have you seen Whit? Did you spot her anywhere?” Carter…
Whitney flopped back onto the couch, exasperated. “Just say whatever you need to, Dad. I’m exhausted.” Laura attempted to mediate. “Whit, your dad doesn’t have anything major to discuss. It’s just that your grandma held 5% of the shares. Your dad gave them to her to ensure she was looked after in her old age.”…
Tina couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Whitney’s appearance. “If you don’t want to wear black, whatever. But what I wear isn’t your problem,” Whitney snapped, irritation flaring up. With a cold glare aimed at Tina, Whitney strode into the auction room, projecting an air of indifference. Once inside, Laura quickly sent a text…
Klein’s voice was low and husky, his breath warm against her skin. “Just hold on a little longer. It’ll cool down soon. Come on, be good. Once we reach the hospital, you won’t feel that burning anymore.” With great effort, Whitney tried to sit up, her pale face drawing so close to Klein’s that it…
Klein’s lips curved into a faint smile, but as he noticed her red, teary eyes, he swallowed the teasing words that threatened to spill out. “The doctor said you’ll be fine once you finish this IV drip. But your tongue’s pretty messed up. It might take a few days to heal. Try to stick to…
“My family owns a company too. Even if she’s not interested, she can’t just throw around baseless accusations,” she complained, her voice rising. Samuel’s temper flared. “Is she out of her mind? She actually went to the police? She has no evidence. The cops won’t even take her seriously.” Laura stomped her foot in frustration.…
Just as she expected, Laura’s idiot nephew had spilled the beans, and she wasn’t in the mood to deal with any more drama. ***** “Officer, I keep telling you. I didn’t drug her,” Travis protested, his voice shaking with fear. “Then how do you explain these hospital records? She’s got injuries, and she was hit…
‘Wait, so they were just freebies?’ Whitney thought, a wave of relief washing over her. Just moments ago, she had been fretting over how to initiate the conversation, but now, the tension began to ease. “They’re pretty cute. Rabbits are actually my favorite animal,” she said, her tone brightening as she relaxed into the moment.…
Whitney stood up, a satisfied smile on her face. “Appreciate it, Dad. Just let me know when everything’s done, and I’ll come by to sign off.” As she turned to leave, her smile faded slightly. Those shares? They were rightfully hers. And the man Tina wanted to marry? She was taking him for herself. Emily…
“Emily, are you free?” Tina asked, her voice strained with frustration. Emily smiled brightly. “Yeah, I’m free! Tina, it’s been ages since we hung out. Want to grab a bite?” At the restaurant, Emily bit her lip, utterly stunned. “Are you saying your dad actually agreed to Whitney’s demands and kicked you guys out of…
