Ander couldn't shake off the shock caused by Charles Ballmer's surprise at his mansion. He had never seen anything like it in his life. He didn't even bother to look at the Lamborghini anymore."This is what I can offer you. Something Curtis can't give you, not even with all the money from the Stanton fortune," said Charles Ballmer close to Ander's ear as he grasped the shoulders of the youngest Stanton."You're right. Curtis would never do something like this," a faint sparkle could be seen in Ander's eyes. There was no doubt he was very excited."I offer you respect. I offer you to stop being the Stanton family's bastard, and for people to stop treating you like trash," Charles tried to convince Ander."That would be great," murmured Ander, lost in his thirst for power."You just have to work for me, and everyone will respect you... even that girl's father.""How do you know about her?" Ander asked, quickly turning and snapping out of his trance."I control this city from top to bot
Agate and Prince Rick had finally embarked on their honeymoon after their wedding at the Stanton Mansion.Curtis had arranged the best trip of their lives to a paradisiacal island where they would spend an entire week indulging in luxuries only a Stanton could afford in this lifetime.The Stanton company's private plane took them to the island in the middle of the sea, eagerly awaiting the famous couple everyone wanted to see together."Is this it?" Rick asked, peering out the airplane window while still airborne."The Island of Peace," Agate sighed, "I assumed you knew about it. Only the wealthiest people in the world can come here," she commented with some curiosity."Oh, yes... Yes. I've been here several times. I just wanted to feign some amazement to make our honeymoon extra special," the prince said, laughing nervously.His family had always faced financial problems since he was a baby. So indulging in such luxuries was nearly impossible, even for a prince like him."Alright..."
Curtis had arrived at the Stanton Enterprises building in his private helicopter. He descended a few floors to reach his office and once there, he sat down and rested his head on the chair.He was exhausted and just wanted to take a break from all the problems at the mansion and with the Stanton family. However, he wouldn't have time to rest as he wanted.Immediately, the door to his office opened and his secretary entered, holding a folder in her hands."Good morning, Mr. Curtis," said the beautiful girl politely and respectfully, "sorry for interrupting.""Good morning. Don't worry," said Curtis with a half-smile, shifting from his comfortable position."I need you to review the company's balance sheets for the past few weeks," said the secretary, extending her hand to hand over the folder to Curtis."Not now. I really don't have the head for those things right now," Curtis was a bit stressed, evident by him rubbing his forehead with his hand."It's urgent, sir. You really need to s
Agatha and Prince Rick's honeymoon week had come to an end, and they found themselves on their last day on the island. Although the prince had been counting the minutes since they arrived and couldn't wait to return home. It had been a real ordeal to be trapped on that paradise island for a whole week with Agatha Stanton. However, he was resigned to the fact that this was the price he had to pay to save his family from total ruin.For Agatha, it had been an extraordinary week. The best view in the world. Endless beaches with crystal-clear waters that stretched to the horizon as far as the eye could see. The best and most exquisite meals in the world. Helicopter rides over the beautiful island.Without a doubt, Curtis had given her the honeymoon she had always dreamed of since she was a little girl. And the best part was that she could have sex with that handsome prince whenever she wanted. The problem was that the prince didn't enjoy it even fifty percent as much as Agatha did."Oh, y
"Very well, Curtis. You win. Do you want to talk? Let's talk!" Carson sat back in his comfortable and elegant office chair while looking at Curtis cynically."You know perfectly well why I'm here," Curtis insisted, very annoyed."I have no idea, but if you want, you can have a coffee while you explain it to me," Carson gestured to his desk with his hand.On the desk were several cups of coffee that the executives hadn't managed to drink. Carson was trying to insult Curtis, make him angry, and so far, he was succeeding."I don't want your recycled coffee," Curtis said seriously."It's very strange. I'm sure the Curtis who arrived at the mansion as a servant would have accepted it with much gratitude," Carson commented mockingly.Curtis clenched his fists tightly to try to contain the anger he felt at that moment because of Carson's offensive comments.He was even hurting himself because he was digging his nails into the palms of his hands, causing a few tiny drops of blood to come out.
Curtis was kissing Amber's neck after making love to her repeatedly on Carson's bed. She was sitting in front of the mirror, applying makeup to be ready when her husband came home from work."Curtis, no, let me finish my makeup," Amber demanded, laughing because of the tickling sensation caused by Curtis's kisses on her neck."That's enough, you look super beautiful," Curtis confessed, playing with kisses that trailed from her neck to her ear."For a woman, it's never enough," Amber exclaimed, grabbing her favorite lipstick."Eh?" Curtis questioned, raising his eyebrows."You're not a woman. You wouldn't understand," Amber said indifferently and continued with her makeup."Come on..." Curtis tried to pull Amber back to the bed, but she resisted while smiling."No...." Amber said, smiling with pleasure."We still have time to make love once more before Carson comes back from work," Curtis pleaded."Curtis, no," she shouted, holding back her laughter. "Today is also the return of Agatha
Prince Rick and Agatha Stanton stepped out of the elegant limousine, assisted by Alfred, the mansion's butler. They were greeted with a warm applause from everyone present."Agatha...", said Beth, with her arms extended, waiting for a hug from her daughter."Mom!" Agatha let her emotions take over, ran to her, and fell crying into her mother's arms while her husband stayed by the side of the limousine.Prince Rick let out a slight grimace, rolling his eyes slightly so no one could see."You are a grown woman now," Beth said proudly."Mrs. Caruso," Agatha showed off the ring on her finger, which held a sparkling diamond."Oh! The prince must have spent several million on that elegant ring," Beth smiled smugly."No, no, Mom. Both rings were paid for by Curtis. As well as the party, the wedding, and the honeymoon," Agatha confessed, leaving everyone deep in thought."That is very strange," commented Carson."It's a custom of the Mariano Islands, or at least that's what he said," Agatha r
"I don't understand. You must be joking," said Curtis suspiciously."Obviously it has to be a joke. Agatha would never abandon us," commented Carson, also very puzzled."Do you think I'm joking?" Prince Rick was very serious and expressionless, facing the entire Stanton family.Carson, Curtis, and Rick maintained an intense stare-down while Agatha remained silent. Her downcast eyes and interlaced fingers expressed the nerves she felt at that moment. The prince had placed a heavy burden on her shoulders, but she saw it as a test of love she had to overcome to be with the man she loved."I forbid you to speak on behalf of my sister," Carson demanded, insisting on respect for his sister Agatha."And I forbid you to shout at me," Prince Rick became increasingly imposing. He knew he had Agatha on his side."It just can't be possible," added Curtis."Obviously, it's impossible. Agatha would never take her money and leave with this scoundrel," assured Carson, pointing at the prince, unaware
