Kincaid had just finished with Shine and was walking back to the hotel. He walked towards the elevator and saw a figure he knew very well standing inside.

Alec asked with a smile.Kim didn't even look at him but smiled as he replied, "Yeah."Alec nodded his head and continued, "Guess your night has been quite eventful.

Kincaid quickly grabbed the person's hand and swiftly threw them overboard."Ouch," the person groaned in pain as he lay on the floor."Is it over already? I was hoping for more. This is so boring," Jayden's voice echoed in the darkness.Kincaid calmly walked to the switch and turned on the lights, revealing Cole lying on the floor."What are both of you still doing here? I thought you guys might be in your room by now," Kincaid asked, crossing both his hands on his chest."Can you be less serious next time? I may look like a young man, but I'm old in spirit.

Kincaid walked away into his closet to get something to put on."You can leave the same way you came if there is nothing else. I need to get my beauty sleep as I have some work tomorrow," he said.With that, she felt a surge of pain in her heart and didn't know how to react to this."And I guess it's with Maira, right? You guys have become really close in this short time. Very interesting," Shine said.Kincaid, who had already put on some pants and was about to put on a shirt, smiled."And how is that any of your business? Last I remember, you allowed your friend into your house and even went to the club with him. You can do whatever you want with your life, and I can't do the same? Interesting."Shine was beyond herself in rage. She walked towards the window, about to leave the same way she came, without bothering to answer when he spoke."Oh, and also, I think we've done enough with this fake relationship.

After Kincaid left, the warm glow of the evening sun painted the mansion's walls in shades of gold. Mr. Pierre and Maria found themselves sitting in the elegant living room, a gentle breeze rustling the curtains.Mr. Pierre studied his granddaughter's face, noticing the wistful look in her eyes. "Maria, my dear, what are you hoping for with Kincaid?" he asked gently.Maria's calm façade vanished into thin air, replaced by a flicker of arrogance. "Well, Grandfather," she began, "I might not know exactly what I'm hoping for, but there's something about Kincaid that intrigues me. He doesn't appear to be someone who's interested in me, but I can't help but feel drawn to him."Mr. Pierre smiled knowingly, reaching out to hold Maria's hands warmly. "My dearest girl, the heart can be a complex thing. It may not always align with what our eyes see. Kincaid is a remarkable man, and I understand why you find him intriguing.

The marble floors reflected the shimmering lights of chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings, and the sound of soft music filled the air, adding to the aura of luxury.Cole followed her closely, carrying a plethora of shopping bags from their previous mall visits. “This… This is like the third mall already”. He seemed a bit overwhelmed and exhausted, but Shine was in high spirits. This was the third mall they had visited that day, and she didn't seem worried about the time or money spent. “Cole hurries we need to get more,” she said and run away excitedly, looking nothing like the cold detective Shine.

Shine felt a mix of surprise and embarrassment as she found herself held in an intimate position by Alec. “Ermm, thank you”She quickly tried to pull herself away from him, putting on an angry and disgusted look.Cole, who had placed the shopping bags away, hurriedly stood before Shine protectively, his fists clenched. "Stay away from her! She's my boss, Kincaid's woman," Cole warned Alec with a fierce glare.Alec smirked, raising his hands in a mock surrender. "No need to act alarmed, my friend. I come in peace," he said, his voice oozing with charm. "I never said I'm interested in your boss lady here," he added, looking at Shine with a playful glint in his eyes. "But I have to admit, the detective is quite the beauty. Wouldn't mind having her as my woman."Cole's protective instincts flared up, and he took a step closer, ready to defend Shine's honor. "Back off! She's not interested in you. It's a shams she is only interested in Kincaid “Cole retorted, his voice laced with a war
