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
Agatha had spent the entire night waiting for Prince Rick to finish his shower and join her in bed, but the prince had been in there for a couple of hours. All she could hear was the sound of water dripping from the shower, drop by drop, repeatedly. Agatha was even naked, waiting for her husband to take her with passion and desire, but that wasn't going to happen.Inside the bathroom, Prince Rick was leaning against the wall, watching the water fall from the showerhead, wishing time would pass faster so Agatha would fall asleep, thus avoiding the need to make love to her.After a couple of hours, Prince Rick finally decided to come out of the bathroom, and that made Agatha happy. She quickly arranged herself provocatively on the bed, looking at him with desire.However, Prince Rick just wanted to lie down and sleep. He was mentally exhausted, and his sexual desire was non-existent.Agatha quickly noticed that the prince's hair was completely dry, and he was wearing the same clothes h
"That's exactly what we need," exclaimed the prince excitedly as he looked at the paper signed by Curtis and stamped by Joseph Stanton."Yes. It's exactly what you asked for. Now I want you out of my mansion immediately," Curtis ordered, pointing to the door."How dare you think you can throw Agatha out of her house like a dog?" demanded Beth, baring her claws to defend her daughter."Shut up!" Curtis shouted at Beth, making the entire place tremble and causing everyone to fall silent immediately. "Shut your damn mouth. This is my mansion, and I can do whatever I please. You should be grateful I'm letting you stay here with us."Curtis had lost the simplicity and humility that defined him. That day, he was not the same submissive and smiling boy everyone knew. Agatha's decision had turned him into a grumpy ogre capable of saying such things."This is my children's house. The true heirs to the Stanton fortune. You're just a swindler and an opportunist," Beth had no intention of staying
