"Do you despise your second uncle, Madam?" Estella dared to ask in the elevator. She had never seen someone this repulsed towards a powerful man before. If Estella remembered correctly, every single member of the Yang family was highly respected. Not a single man or woman denied their charm. They were the family that everyone wanted to marry into. One of the most powerful clans in the entire country, and only one woman was born with the Yang surname in this generation. It was none other than Lina…-

Heels clicked on the ground, popping like gunshots. The ominous sound echoed down the hallways. Everyone paused what they were doing. They could barely function with her in sight. Cold eyes and dark hair, smooth skin and an elegant aura; they knew exactly who it was. When she walked into a room, all eyes were on her. She reeked of money, pride, and charisma. With her gaze set on the goal, she strolled right into his office, folder in hand. As William choked on his meal, Lina placed the contract onto…

Between the prestigious Presentation Room 1 and Room 2, there was no visual difference. Except, Room 1 was meant for chief executives and chairmen. The second was reserved for people lower than that. The technology was the same in the room, whether it was the bulletproof window or the state-of-the-art projectors. Shortly after the two women arrived, the lawyers walked in. Estella had hired two legal representatives for Lina, whereas Krystal brought her own small team of three. There, a non-disclosure…

Soon, Lina reached Yang Enterprise. She dressed herself in a white turtle neck with a pastel blue blazer and matching suit pants. With silver accessories and white heels, she walked through the doors of Yang Enterprise, Estella hot on her trail. Everyone paused and watched her. The floor was made of marble tiles, but her stroll made it look like a runway. Employees stopped whatever they were doing, paused, and debated whether or not they should bow in greeting. Lina Yang walked like she owned the…

The next day, Lina woke up to an irritating phone call. She groaned in exhaustion, throwing a hand to the nightstand to search for it. But she couldn't move. Muchless, wriggle her arm out. She peeled her eyes open and glanced down. Kaden hugged her like a child cuddling their favourite stuffed animal. His arms were tight around her, his legs slung over her body. He buried his face into her neck. His large body was like a bear. And he slept like one too. Lina squirmed and squeezed until she was able…

Kaden ate and suckled at her breasts so much, she was far too deep in his seduction to do anything else. She shakily touched his waist, attempting to pull his pants down. He darkly chuckled, grabbing her wrists. "Beg for it, dove," Kaden murmured. His voice was thick and hard, eager to hear her voice. "Please…" Lina managed to say, amidst her pleasure. Kaden's eyes were so dark, it was practically black. He kicked his pants off, grabbed her hips, and kissed her deeply. He pushed her down onto…

Lina crumpled the letter in her hand. She gritted her teeth, walked downstairs to the stove, and turned on the flames. But then, she stopped. In her moment of anger, she nearly burned evidence of harassment. Wordlessly, she unraveled the letter, went upstairs to their bedroom and placed it under her jewelry box. Maybe, one day, she'd use it. Beware of those who love you. Six words. Six damn words and it cut so deep. Lina already knew that. She already knew she had to? be wise in putting her trust…

Lina's happiness with Kaden was short-lived. It always was. That's why they needed three chances. Three lifetimes. But no matter what they did, what they said, what they promised, all roads lead to doom. The elevator dinged. Lina could feel her heart fall. Slowly, surely, the elevator doors opened to Atlantis. He was on the phone with someone. His black trench coat showed off his broad shoulders, glasses resting low on his nose, his brows taut. He was engrossed in the conversation. All she heard as…

"How many shares of Yang Enterprise do you have?" It was the first question Lina asked when she sat down. She picked up her menu and gazed at it with disinterest. There was a heavy silence in the air, followed by his dark chuckle. "How many shares do you want?" Kaden mused. "How many do you have?" "As many as needed," Kaden deadpanned. Lina's stomach twisted. She should be flattered. Pleased, even. This man was willing to spend a fortune to make her Chairwoman. He was so against the idea a…

"That must be the first time you have acknowledged yourself as a Yang," Cedrick remarked. Lina said nothing. As expected, the wind was much colder eighty-six floors in the air. She was surprised no one tried to jump off the glass observatory that looked at the entire city of Ritan. All, but a single skyscraper in the heart of the city. It rose high in the sky, but couldn't touch the heavens, for it was crafted from sin. DeHaven Conglomerate. "I know you despise our clan name," Cedrick said in a…
