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.
All she had to do was wait patiently inside, and soon enough, someone would assist Klein up to her room. Once that happened, Tina could do whatever she desired with him. Whitney, checking the time, noted that twenty minutes had passed without Klein’s return. She wiped her mouth with a napkin, then asked a server…
“Quick, it really is Daniel!” someone shouted. “Miss, do you know the man inside is Daniel from Jenkins Group? He’s married. Are you his mistress?” another voice pressed. “Miss, how long have you been his mistress?” came the relentless questioning. “Miss, you look kind of familiar,” one of the paparazzi noted. Tina froze, the words…
Once she sent them on their way, Whitney turned to find the man standing right in front of her. “Carter, are you ever going to give this up?” she demanded, her tone bordering on exasperation. Carter’s lips pressed into a thin line, and he extended a shopping bag toward her. “For you. That dress you…
Whitney suddenly realized they had been standing there, conversing at the threshold, with her inside and him on the outside. “Sorry, I forgot. Come in,” she stammered, stepping aside to let him enter. Klein slipped off his shoes, stepping inside barefoot, and Whitney recalled how he had done the same during his previous visit. “I…
Carter’s assistant stared at the barrage of messages Whitney had unleashed, each line filled with her fury and indignation. His throat went dry as he processed the sheer intensity of her words.

Lena: [Babe, did you find someone new and forget about me?] Whitney chuckled softly, her fingers dancing over the screen as she replied: [Honey, how could I? You’re my one and only queen.] [Good. Then your queen commands you to come to Jade Spa right now and get gorgeous with me.] A smirk played on…
Lena’s eyebrows shot up as she glanced between them, her lips parting as if she wanted to say something, but she ultimately held her tongue. Dustin, unable to resist the urge to tease, grinned like a fool. “Ha, did Ms. Moore get all worked up seeing Mr. Harris?” Whitney’s fingers tightened around the glass, her…
Though she avoided saying the word “old” directly, the implication hung heavily in the air. Klein’s gaze fixated on her flushed lips, and he spoke quietly, “It’s fine. You’ll discover soon enough whether I’m old or not.” *Why does this conversation keep getting worse?* Whitney thought, her heart sinking. Klein shifted the topic, “By the…
“I’ll confirm this with your sister myself, but you need to keep your head down for the next month. Before their wedding, you’d better not cause any trouble.” If Carter was indeed getting married, the wedding would surpass the last one in extravagance. More wealthy families would attend, and if his daughter could show up…
