Wynn ran outside, her heart clutching tight as she hits her chest. Tears streamed down Wynn's face as the reality of her predicament sank in. Just then, she spotted Kraig talking to Kyle. With a mixture of relief and despair, she approached them. Kraig did sense Wynn's distress and walked over to her. "Wynn, is everything okay? Do you gave any other trouble." Wynn's voice was trembling as she said, "I didn't know my stepmother hated me this much. I can't believe she's willing to go this far." Kraig, surprised to discover Camille was not Wynn's biological mother, tried to comprehend the situation. "Stepmother?" he repeated, seeking clarification. Wynn nodded, tears still in her eyes. "Yes, and I don't know what to do. Collins, the man they want me to marry, he's just a pawn in her game." Kraig, determined to help, assured her, "You won't have to go through this at all. By morning, your family will receive news from young master DeVille." Wynn's gaze locked with Kraig's for a m
As they entered the car, Carolene's gaze lingered on Kraig. Her fingers clenched at the hem of her dress. The man in front of her was charming, and cute. To say that his appearance was all that made him elegant would be wrong. The man's countenance and his composure was one that Carolene found to be attractive. The man was everything she wanted in her man, except the fact that he keeps staring at his phone every seconds. After a long while she heard him say, "Is there something on your mind, Carolene?" Kraig felt pretty uncomfortable when he noticed Carolene's gaze on him. It felt as though he couldn't do any wrong. She hesitated for a moment before responding, "No, it's just... I can't help but wonder about your life. I was also an orphan until Wesley's father found me." Kraig, intrigued by how she have lived, asked, "Are you and Wesley not related?" Carolene shook her head, "No, we're not. But his father took me in and treated me like family. We've always referred to each
Kraig walked Carolene outside, shutting the terrace doors behind him. As they stood by the entrance, Carolene glanced at Kraig and remarked, "I hope you're not going too far." Kraig assured her, "No, just outside. A friend is waiting for me." Carolene, with a playful smile, commented, "Boys and their games. Probably coming for a round with you?" Kraig chuckled, "Not exactly. It's a she, actually." Carolene's surprise was evident, but she quickly composed herself and feigned a smile. "Oh, a female friend. Well then, you shouldn't keep her waiting. Go on." Kraig appreciated her understanding, "Thanks, Carolene. I'll be back soon." With that, he rushed outside leaving Carolene alone with her thoughts on the terrace. Outside, Kraig found Wynn waiting for him. She expressed gratitude, "I didn't get to thank you properly earlier." Wynn handed him a shopping bag, and as Kraig peeked inside, he discovered a pair of designer sneakers and a branded shirt and pants. Wynn explained, "I kn
At the University... Jade excitedly approached Lisa, her friend, in the school hallway, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Lisa, I've got the perfect picture for the school blog," she whispered, a sly smile playing on her lips. Intrigued, Lisa leaned in, curious about the juicy gossip Jade had stumbled upon. Jade revealed the photoshopped image of Wynn supposedly engaged to an older man. The scandalous picture had the potential to create waves in the school. With devious intent, Jade decided to share the manipulated picture on the school blog, ensuring it would reach every student's phone. Phones across the campus simultaneously beeped with notifications, and laughter erupted as the doctored image circulated. Kraig who was seated in the classroom, observed that everyone's phone beeped in a accordance. His gaze darted around, and when it fell on Jade and her friends, he knew something 2ws definitely up. At first, he had no interest in whatever they must have posted on the sc
Carolene's unexpected presence at the school took Kraig by surprise. As she waved at him, he approached her, a puzzled expression on his face. "Carolene, what are you doing here?" Without hesitation, carolene walked closer to Kraig and pulled him into a tight hug. She then looked at him and smiled, "I wanted to see you, Kraig." Kraig's eyes narrowed further, as he stared at her dazedly. For a moment he was stunned, he never realized that they were this close for her to visit at school and even hugged him. He sighed heavily, unable to fix his gaze on hers. His response was curt, "I'm busy. Carolene, I can't talk to you right now. it's still school hours and I'm not supposed to be out here. You have to leave ma'am." The formality in his tone was palpable. Carolene was taken aback by the sudden distance. She felt a twinge of hurt. After their talk last night, she had thought that they've gotten closer, but it didn't seem like it as Kraig was giving her some distance. Kraig
Wynn held Kraig's hand and asked, "What is it Kraig?" When Kraig stared into her eyes, and wanted to tell her he was the heir, Wynn's eyes wavered and fell on Wesley. "The young master is really handsome." Wynn muttered as she bite her lips. Kraig was speechless as he turned to stare at Wesley. As Wynn's eyes fell upon Wesley, she found herself captivated by his handsome demeanor. With a slight blush tinting her cheeks, she murmured, "The young master is really handsome," biting her lip with a mixture of admiration and shyness. Kraig, caught off guard by Wynn's comment, turned his gaze towards Wesley, Seizing the opportunity, Wynn approached Wesley with a courteous smile, her hand still entwined with Kraig's. "I apologize again for bumping into you, young master." Wesley, surprised by the assumption that he was the DeVille heir, decided not to correct Wynn. Instead, he graciously acknowledged her apology. "No need to worry, my dear. Accidents happen." Kraig, observing Wesley
As the tension between Kraig and Wesley escalated, Kraig said, "Do whatever you want, Wesley. But tell me, why are you here in Korea? To visit a sick grandfather, or are you trying to claim an inheritance that isn't rightfully yours?" Wesley, unfazed by Kraig's direct questioning, leaned back, swirling the contents of his glass. With a sly smile, he responded, "Oh, Kraig, you're always full of surprises. As for my reasons, let's just say they're personal." Kraig, growing increasingly frustrated, couldn't decipher Wesley's motives. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the two men, Carolene had been discreetly eavesdropping on their conversation. Offended by Wesley's vague response, she decided it was time to shut him up. Walking closer to Wesley with a stern expression, Carolene confronted him. "Wesley, your words are disrespectful. This is not a game, and the DeVille estate is not a playground for your amusement." Wesley, seemingly amused by Carolene's assertiveness, chuckled. "Ah, Carolene
At school, amidst the hustle and bustle, Jade mustered the courage to approach Kraig. However, her attempts to engage him were met with silence, as Kraig remained focused on his path. Undeterred, Jade quickened her pace, running to catch up with him. "Kraig! Wait!" she exclaimed, hoping to grab his attention. Kraig, unyielding, finally turned to face her, his expression stern. "Jade, I told you to leave me alone." Ignoring his request, Jade took a deep breath and said, "I need your attention, Kraig. It's important." Kraig, skeptical but willing to hear her out, sighed. "Fine, what do you want?" Jade hesitated for a moment before blurting out, "Do you really know the DeVilles?" Kraig raised an eyebrow, curious about her sudden interest. "What's it to you? Is this about the heir?" Jade, caught off guard by the directness of his question, stammered, "Well, I... I just need to know." Unmoved, Kraig began to walk away, dismissing her inquiry. "I don't have time for this." Desperati
