Caspian closed the distance between them, gently cupping her face and lifting her head to meet his gaze. "Darling, please kiss me," he whispered softly."It's gonna be our last kiss, I think!" Caspian thought to himself.Caspian's strong arm encircled Sylvie's slender waist as their lips met. As they leaned into each other, his hand softly cradled her head.Sylvie tightly embraced back, her heart weighed down by grief. To onlookers, it seemed like a simple expression of love between two people. The moment became more intense due to the whispers among them."It's Caspian Steele and Sylvie, daughter of Austin Miles," some murmured in shock."Perhaps she is his wife," others speculated."No, impossible. The CEO of Nebulon couldn't just marry like that," arguments flew back and forth.Among the voices, one deep baritone stood out, demanding answers. "Prove your claims. Ask him yourself if he is married," the man commanded softly.Sylvie's fragile heart broke when she looked into Caspian's
Caspian tried to decipher Jenna's motivations for her drastic actions, causing his mind to race. Confused, he furrowed his brows and took deep gasps, consumed by anger and betrayal.Jovan, noticing Caspian's perturbed state, asked with concern, "Is everything alright, Caspian?" Caspian shook his head deeply, trying to hide the storm inside him before responding, "Yes, everything is fine. Just caught off guard." Hoping to steer clear of discussing Jenna's betrayal, he forced a nonchalant smile and promptly redirected the conversation. However, beneath the surface, he was boiling with anger over Magnus for embarrassing in front of Jenna's parents. Letting Kevin and Magnus off the hook would only reveal weakness in his power. "Well then, it will be quite a surprise for you," Jovan remarked dryly. "Indeed," Caspian replied coldly, his mind already planning revenge against those who had wronged him. "Let us focus on that for now." Changing the topic again, Jovan nervously asked, "An
"Bam!"Kevin, skeptical and narrow-eyed, began to question the legitimacy of Caspian's supposed $30 million win from a mere $5000 bet. Caspian's features showed deep concern as he swiftly confronted Kevin's doubt, a trace of fear evident in his eyes."Are you saying that my win is impossible?" he demanded sharply.Unconvinced, Kevin refused to back down and held firm in his belief that Caspian would resort to deception for the money. It gave him a chill."Listen, man. I saw it clearly - no excuses. I can't give you the money," he stated firmly, hoping to deter Caspian's desperate attempts.Caspian stayed strong and unaffected by Kevin's words, confidently clearing his throat and giving commands, "Mr. Kevin, provide the money now."Turning to face Kevin with an expression that revealed his lack of concern, Caspian simply declared, "I don't give a damn."With a determined look, Kevin directed one of his henchmen to go get the casino manager. Without hesitation, the henchman scurried awa
Kevin's face twisted in annoyance as he replied, "Oh okay, I'll definitely pay."As if their altercation had summoned him, the owner of the casino approached with purposeful steps. He was perplexed as he scanned everywhere, trying to figure out what had caused such a commotion in his establishment."Hello, I'm Rex Reynolds, the owner of this casino. What is going on?" He tried to calm the tension between Kevin and Caspian, studying their faces for any hint of resolution.However, Kevin's insincere smile and Caspian's firm stance indicated otherwise. The tension simmered quietly, ready to burst forth."Don't worry sir. We've already resolved it," Kevin insisted through gritted teeth."Resolved what? Please tell me," Caspian interjected, not willing to let Kevin get away with whatever scheme he had in mind.Little did Caspian know, Kevin planned to get revenge for the humiliation he suffered. With a mysterious glint in his eye, Kevin lunged towards Caspian. Caspian stayed calm and refu
From his slouched position, Caspian sat up and let out a long, weary yawn. Consumed by grief, he ran his fingers through his cropped hair, haunted by Jenna's parents' rejection. He was baffled as to why she had cut off all contact with him, particularly after their prank went awry.Looking around the office, he couldn't help but feel disgusted. Was it all because he didn't perform well in their prank deal? His frustration boiled over, causing him to slam his clenched fists on the table while a million thoughts raced through his head.But even if Jenna had cut him off, he couldn't just let her go. He couldn't resist her magnetic pull and had to find a way to reconnect with her. Should he try to win over her stern father, Richardson, or seek help from her older sister, Melinda? Caspian was torn between two seemingly impossible options: ignoring Richardson's warning about Jenna or taking a risk without knowing Jenna's intentions.His determination to show Jenna's parents who he truly was
"Yes, it's true. I may have offended her," Caspian admitted, sensing Heather's skeptical stare."Have you tried other numbers?" Heather asked, her voice cold with a hint of suspicion."I have. Along with other means," Caspian answered confidently.Heather gasped and quickly composed herself. "Well then, there must be a simple solution.""And what is that solution?" Caspian pressed."We can try using a special number provided by a network company," Heather suggested, offering a potential solution."Is there a way we can hack into the app?" Caspian pondered, considering another alternative."It's possible, but I'm not sure of how effective it will be," Heather replied warily.After a moment of contemplation, Heather nodded. "Well it's worth a shot, can you give me the number so that I can probe further?" "Sure, not a problem," With a friendly smile, Caspian wrote down Jenna's contact number on the company's notepad and handed it to Heather. "Heather, would you do me a favour of accomp
As the clock struck 10:00 am, Caspian entered his BMW 7 Series Sedan, speeding with precision onto the main road. With ease, he made his way through traffic, heading towards the exclusive residence of the Everhart family. Upon reaching the estate, Caspian spotted Melinda strolling along the sidewalk railing. Confirming with a squint, he promptly pulled over next to her and honked the horn.Caspian's tinted car caught Melinda off guard, prompting her to approach it right away. Gradually, Caspian whined down the window, exposing a frigid smile as he greeted her with a wave. "Let me give you a ride!" he exclaimed.Melinda gladly accepted the unexpected offer and eagerly got into the car, finding instant relief from the cool air conditioning that dried her sweat. She couldn't help but was so amazed by the BMW's sleek interior and stunning features.Melinda finally found the courage to ask Caspian about his previous visit, "Why did you prevent me from telling my parents who you are?" she
In their swimsuits, Sylvie and her two friends, Beth and Lily, smoothly glide into the pool. Sylvie fought to catch her breath as she urgently brought her head above water. Unable to locate Lily and Beth, she was taken aback."Where are you, Lily and Beth?" Sylvie called out playfully as she looked around, surprised. Behind her, she was alerted by the sound of splashing water and turned to find them a bit farther off."You're so fast!" Lily said.With no hesitation, she extended her arms and executed a butterfly stroke, effortlessly propelling herself through the water. Using buoyancy, she made her way to her friends who commended her fast swimming abilities."You're fast, Sylvie," Lily said in amazement as she surfaced from a deep dive."Ah, not fast enough," Sylvie replied with a satisfied smirk. "I've been swimming since I was eight.""Wow," Lily exclaimed in awe."This pool is awesome!" added Beth, her voice hoarse from leaning on the edge of the pool."Yeah, it's great," Sylvie
