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. After giving a nod, he entered the elevator and the person did the same. He pressed his floor button and stood there quietly."It's very nice to see you again. Coming back from the bat, I suppose?" 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. I saw you hitting it off with Maria earlier today. And believe me, she might feel the same."Kim didn't rush to reply or look at him, instead choosing to remain quiet.He felt that Alec often had one interest in mind but always tried to find something to pin on others, and that's exactly what he was doing right now."It's surprising that you, venturing into public political business and being the president and heir to the Crowns family empire, are so interested in other pe

Kincaid walked into his suite and immediately sensed that something was off. With an alert look, he didn't even turn on the lights in the room before he sensed a hand about to attack him. He swiftly dodged to the side and prepared to counterattack.The person attacking him seemed surprised, not expecting him to counter with such strength. 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. Have some mercy," Cole said as he struggled to stand up.Kincaid casually glanced at him an

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. I think it's time we let go of this charade so we can both do whatever we wan

The next day, Kincaid arrived at the Pierre mansion, his eyes filled with admiration as he took in the grandeur of the estate. “I'm already there, don't worry I will be with you soon okay” he said with a tender smile .“You sure? I don't want that Maria cockroach to punch on you as soon as you arrive there, "Shine said with gritted teeth. “I knew I to follow you there” “You are cute,” he said and that was enough to shut her up.He couldn't see her but he could sense that she was blusing.“Okay I will coke right to you after this meeting okay” he said and before he could say something else, she hung up.He smiled widely but it soon disappeared when he git down from his car. The mansion stood majestically amidst sprawling gardens, its architecture exuding a timeless elegance. The air was filled with the fragrance of blooming flowers, and the sound of chirping birds added a serene melody to the surroundings.A butler, impeccably dressed in a formal suit, stepped forward to greet Kin

As the lingering silence filled the room, Mr. Pierre shifted gears smoothly, changing the subject to business matters. "Now, let's talk about the collaboration for the new hotel project. I've heard remarkable things about your management skills, Kincaid, and I believe your expertise will be invaluable in this endeavor."Kincaid nodded, appreciating the shift in conversation. "Thank you, Mr. Pierre. I've had successful experiences with hotel projects in the past, and I'm eager to explore this opportunity further. With your support and resources, we can create something truly extraordinary."Over the next couple of hours, Kincaid and Mr. Pierre delved into the details of the new hotel venture.

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. If there's something you desire, I support you wholeheartedly."Maria's

“This feels like heaven”Shine walked into the glamourous mall, its rich decorations and luxurious stores making her feel like she had stepped into a world of glamour and extravagance. 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. For her, it was the first time she could indulge in something purely for her pleasure, free from work-related stress and responsibilities.Her eyes sparkled like a child in a candy shop as she sca

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
