Do you think my wife likes women?
Cathleen drove her car out into the busy streets of Manhattan. The only thing she was wishing for was rain. She had never had a case in Manhattan before, and ever since people had heard of a celebrity lawyer, they had wanted to hire her for their own cases. Hiring Cathleen wasn't cheap. She had never lost a case, not even once. This court case was a tough one, but for her, it was more of a debut in Manhattan, which was soon going to be her playground.Cathleen had rules when it came to what she tried to get done. No mobile phones unless it's part of the evidence; only witnesses and a limited number of family members; and she hated the media as they wanted to know who the celebrity lawyer was.Cathleen pulled up in the car park of the High Court and sighed as she sat in her car; paparazzi were all over the place. Just when Cathleen didn't know how she was going to get into the High Court without being noticed, the raindrops started to fall like stones, and the sound of the crashing wav

Even though it was still raining, the rain was not coming down as hard as it had before the court case. Cathleen dashed hastily to her car and then sped off to her workplace in the car. The news that they were going to have a lot of customers moving forward made her staff members quite thrilled. When she finally got to her office, she threw herself on the couch and fell asleep almost instantly.It had been hours since she had gone to sleep, and the beeps and buzzes coming from her phone were what finally roused her from her slumber. She broke into a smile when she realized who was calling. It was her number one supporter, Old Mr. Knight.Old Mr. Knight: How’s my best lawyer doing?Cathleen: She is fine, Father, and hello to you too.Old Mr. Knight: Oh, I've been so caught up in everything that I completely forgot to offer you a greeting.

Is she a high-profile prostitute
The temperature in the cyber room of the Knight Group was frigid, and there was complete silence.

However, today he was determined to find anything, just anything, about his master’s mysterious wife. He decided to be present when the cyber team did the digging on her.

It’s not written in the contract that I should greet you
Glimmering rays of sunlight filtered through the intricately designed curtains, their golden threads catching the light and casting a warm glow throughout the room. The furnishings, fit for a queen, gleamed in the soft light, each piece carefully selected to create an atmosphere of opulence and elegance.

Follow My Wife
Follow my wife." Xavier's voice cut through the air like a sharp blade, both commanding and calculated. Caleb couldn't believe what he was hearing from his master. He wasn't interested in his wife at all. Caleb's eyes widened in confusion as he gazed at his master through the rear-view mirror. His employer's face was contorted in uncertainty, a look that Caleb had never seen before. The man's fingers gripped tightly at his tie, pulling at it in an aggressive manner. But Caleb remained silent, observing the tense scene unfolding before him without uttering a word. Why would his master want him to go after his own wife?

Who are you, Cathleen Knight?
Dora had a look at Cathleen and was on the verge of being rude, but then remembered why she was there in the first place."So, this is your husband now. I thought you were supposed to be married to your first love. What's his name? Finn. Is that his name?" Dora said as she ordered what she wanted to eat. Xavier found their relationship to be quite interesting for a mother and daughter to have, so he leaned back in his chair and wanted to know what Cathleen was going to say to the woman."You seemed to have a short memory, Dora. Wasn't that the same first love that I caught fucking Avery from behind?" Caleb's hand shot up to his mouth, a look of shock and pain twisting his features. Xavier wasn't surprised; he had come to learn that Cathleen possessed a sharp, cutting tongue capable of inflicting emotional wounds. Her words were like daggers, leaving behind scars that never truly healed."That's no way to be talking about your sister!""I'm a West; how is she my sister again?"Cathleen

A Surprised Dinner
Caleb hurried to his master's table just as Cathleen was walking out of the restaurant to give him the news that his father would be joining them for dinner the following day. Xavier, though, stopped paying attention at that point. The thought that he doesn't know anything about his wife continued to occupy his thoughts throughout the conversation.Caleb's frantic calls for his attention went unnoticed as Xavier was lost in the depths of his own thoughts. The man's distant gaze made it clear that he was preoccupied with some unknown struggle. As Xavier pondered her extreme iciness, he couldn't help but wonder what could have caused such a drastic change in her demeanor. According to his father, she was the sweetest girl alive, yet Xavier had never witnessed this sweetness firsthand - only brief glimpses when there were family members around, and even then it seemed forced or insincere. "Sir, you have dinner with your father tomorrow night." Xavier finally raised his head to meet one

Who is better? My son or his uncle?
A heavy silence fell over the dinner table as everyone's attention turned to Cathleen and the old man. The question hung in the air like a thick fog, weighing down on the two of them. Cathleen fought the urge to steal a glance at Xavier, knowing that their eyes meeting would reveal her true feelings about the arranged marriage. Instead, she mustered up a smile and reached out to gently cup the old man's face in her hands. The wrinkles and crevices of his weathered skin told a story of a long life lived, but at this moment, all Cathleen could see was the burden she was about to bear for the sake of cutting ties with her family. She looked at the man and said,"Aren't you so sweet when you're worried? Xavier is a good husband, and I am happy with him." If the man had not been visibly struggling against his illness, she would have mustered up the courage to tell him how deeply unhappy she was. The weight of her words hung heavy in the air, like a storm cloud on the verge of bursting. But

I am happy with Xavier
As the doctor bustled into the room and began tending to the old man, Xavier descended the stairs with his crisp black shirt neatly folded over his arm. He strode over to his brother, standing tall and imposing in front of him. His voice was low and threatening as he spoke, and his eyes were blazing with anger. "You better hope this isn't serious. If anything happens to our father because of you, I promise you won't want to face the consequences." The tension in the air was thick and palpable, each word a sharp edge in the heated exchange between the two brothers.With a firm shove, Xavier propelled his elder brother Edward out of the way.
