“Do you like it?” Adrian asked, using the exact words in the movie. A laugh escaped Riley’s lips. She answered, “It’s spectacular. It’s like a dream.”Riley looked around with sparkling eyes. They were in a small pond, roughly two acres, and a humble brick home was not too far from them. Other stru
"I'm upset!" Riley exclaimed. Zia sipped on her coffee and replied, "Okay, calm down. Tell me about it.""Adrian is meeting with his college ex, Daisy Harold, next week," Riley mentioned. "Their families have been business partners for years, but the Harolds moved to Canada, and since then, they've
"Um." Zia's face was bright red. She responded, "Yes, Cuddle Muffin."Clint quickly brought Zia closer to his chest, and she caught a whiff of his expensive perfume. He said, "I like to cuddle with Zia, and that's why she calls me Cuddle Muffin. I, on the other hand, think Zia has the sweetest lips
She paused because she somehow felt Clint was into her, but she also wanted to be honest. She revealed, "I fell in love with my best friend when I was about to have my residency at King's Medical Center, but I was afraid to tell him.""I lived with my aunt and uncle during this time because my paren
A week passed. "I'm still mad at you," Zia said while waiting for the resort transfer by the port.Clint had a smile on his face. He gave her a ring and said, "Well, you won't be mad at me for long, Sweet Lips.""What's that?" Zia asked. "Your engagement ring? And you better put it on because your
"Oh, my goodness!" Stella remarked, and she quickly gave Zia a thumbs up. "Good catch, Zia! He is young and handsome, and his family is old and rich!"Clint laughed. Again, he held Zia closer to him. He declared, "Well, Zia is not into me because of my family's money. She loves me for my fresh persp
"Seriously?" Zia reacted as a resort shuttle drove them to their villa. "Did you have to make Brian think that?""At least we did not have to convince him further that we are a couple," Clint said before laughing. He removed his glasses and wiped the lenses with a cloth. Seeing him like that brough
“I thought of introducing you to my daughter because you’re a great kid, Taylor, and it’s a shame that your girlfriend’s father hasn’t accepted you yet,” Adrian went on, not thinking straight. “But—”He sucked in a deep breath before resuming, “This isn’t the perfect timing. Charlie will be here in—
“I must have drunk too much coffee,” Taylor said, pressing a hand to his chest.Charlie laughed. “You’re nervous.”“What? No, I’m confident,” he smirked, flashing a fake grin. Taylor could try to hide it, but deep down, Charlie knew he was worried about the day’s outcome. He had even made an effort
Taylor joined in: "ZOOM! KA-BLAM! SIZZLE SIZZLE—OHHH NOOO!"At first, Adrian was confused, but then a small drone lifted a banner that read: [Fireworks not allowed as per Governor Carrington!]"Sorry, Mom. We can only give you the sound effects," Taylor teased, and the Carringtons erupted into laugh
The first day on the plantation was tiring because they spent most of it out in different orchard fields, either walking or riding carts. For Adrian's family, it was both educational and refreshing. One of the highlights of their gathering was dinner. Aside from the bountiful food display, the compa
Adrian sighed, his mind drifting to his youngest daughter.***Carrington Nut Plantation. “Welcome! Welcome!” Governor Carrington greeted them warmly in the farmhouse’s front yard. “Welcome to our pride and joy.”Since the Suncrest Valley deal was between Charles and Douglas Carrington, Adrian had
Charlie: [I just arrived at Uncle Prince’s office. Don’t worry about me.]Adrian read Charlie’s text with a bit of heartache. Earlier that day, Charlie had skipped breakfast, staying in her room until they left for Suncrest Valley.They were traveling by land to the Carrington Nut Plantation, and Ad
“Dad!” Charlie objected. “I need to talk to you. It’s now or never!”“I approve of you working for King’s Pay,” Adrian said with a smile. “All good?”“I want to talk about the guy I was telling you about,” Charlie attempted. “He’s really great, Dad.”“I’m sure he is, sweetie, but let me decide on th

Taylor’s kisses were on fire. Her jaws were wet, and Taylor was clearly leaving her love bites!“I’ve gotta get off, Babe. I’ll go crazy if I don’t,” Taylor said, raising his body. Charlie did not quite understand, not until he began moving his hips and pushing his bulge in between her thighs. The
