2023-09-24 18:53:03Kevin helped lift Lily onto the back of his motorbike. Lily wrapped her arms around Kevin’s waist as he thought to himself,
“I love this feeling. From this moment forward, I’m going to start steaming our relationship. I’m going to be the man who Lily wants me to be, the man that she deserves.”
Stopping at the red light, Kevin turned around to find Lily biting her bottom lip.
With a gentle sigh, Kevin asked
“How are you feeling? You look great but I know you… you only bite your bottom lip when you’re stressed.”
Lily nodded,
”I am a little bit stressed… I checked the reports this morning and I confirmed my worst nightmare. The company isn’t going to get any extra investor’s support which means that by the end of the week, we’re going to officially declare bankruptcy. This morning, the major shareholders will be holding a meeting and as the company’s chairman, I have to be there. To be honest, I just feel so terrible about the poor employees that will be loosing their jobs… I mean, it’s all my fault.”
Kevin tried to comfort his wife,
“You aren’t the one who made the mistakes that caused this, Lily.”
Lily nodded,
“I know… but as the chairman and the boss, it is my responsibility to hold myself accountable for everything that happens with the company.”
Lily stopped herself,
“The light turned green already, would you mind stepping on it? I’m already so late.”
Kevin nodded and stepped forward.
Minutes later, they arrived at the company’s entrance just in time. Lily smiled as she let go of Kevin’s waist,
“Thank you. I can’t believe how fast you got me here. Maybe I should have allowed you bring me here more often.”
Just as Kevin was about to respond, he was interrupted but the sound of a car parking next to them.
Turning to their right, both Kevin and Lily saw a brand new VMWY 8 pull up beside Kevin’s old motorbike. The door opened and a tall man in a tailored suit stepped out of the car,
“Hi Blakely.”
Lily politely smiled and ignoring Kevin’s presence, Blakely stepped forward and hugged Lily.
“Good morning Lil. It’s so good to see you!”
Blakely said and turned to Kevin, laughing
“Lily, did you order the world’s crappiest UBER or what? If you needed a ride, I could have driven you. That motorbike is pathetic, no offense.
Kevin forced a smile,
“I’m not her UBER driver… I’m actually her husband.”
Seeing Blakely’s shocked face, Kevin smirked as he reached his hand forward.
“I’m Kevin. It’s nice to meet you.”
Reaching his manicured hands towards Kevin’s, Blakely replied
“So this is the famous Kelvin… I’ve heard so much about you. I’m sure you know Monica, Lily’s best friend… she does the best impression of you. It’s so nice to put a face to your, ehrm… name and Kev, you are exactly what I expected.”
Lily uncomfortably shook her head,
“Blakely, that’s out of line.”
Blakely scoffed,
“Of course… I was just messing with him. You can take a joke or can’t you, Kevin?”
Kevin nodded,
“I can when they are funny.”
Blakely smirked,
“Ha! I see… Lily I’m so glad that I bumped into you this morning. I’ve heard about everything going on and my heart aches for you. So, I brought you a little pick me up.”
Blakely went back to his car and opened the trunk. He took out a stunning gift box.
With a sweet smile, Blakely handed the box to Lily.
“Take a look Lily, do you like it?”
Lily opened the box and gasped,
“Oh my goodness! This is the most beautiful necklace I’ve ever seen. Blakely, you shouldn’t have… this is too extravagant!”
Blakely smiled,
“I knew you would like it.”
Feeling his chest tighten, Kevin thought to himself
“I am going to help save Lily’s company. But first of, I need to handle this Blakely, I’m sure he is up to no good and it’s my job to stop him.”
Kevin snapped out of his thoughts as Blakely’s voice broke through,
“A beautiful woman like you deserves a beautiful necklace. Isn’t that right Kevin?”
Blakely smirked.
Kevin leaned forward and pursed his lips as he saw the necklace he gifted his wife, Lily.
The entire necklace was laced with countless dancing crystals, the diamonds were expertly set in a delicate, intricate design that seemed to capture the essence of a cascading waterfall of light.
Kevin couldn’t help but to stare at the huge diamond that was placed in the center of the necklace with the initials, DLN.
“It’s the Dream lover necklace!”
Kevin whispered to himself
Blakely, appearing attentive to Kevin’s hushed words, inquired,
“What was that?”
Blakely asked.
Kevin nodded and said,
“It’s impossible. There’s no way that necklace is real. The Dream lover necklace was made by the famous French Jewelry designer, Dianne. It was made up of more than three hundred carats of diamonds and there are only ten versions of it in the world. It’s definitely a knock-off.”
Kevin said proudly.
“Well, it’s not a knock off. It’s a top of the line copy of it. Lily, I remembered how much you loved the Dream lover necklace and since it’s impossible to buy a real one, I spent a hundred thousand dollars to have a jeweler create the exact copy for you and if you give me some more time, I will one day find the real Dream lover for you.”
Lily closed the gift bag and said with a somewhat regretful expression,
“It’s normal that you can’t buy it. After all, there are only ten real versions of it in the world. Two years ago I heard that in an auction, Dream lover’s necklace was sold out for four million dollars. So, you don’t have to worry about finding me the real one. Plus, this is a really good copy, I love it.”
When he heard Lily’s words, Blakely paused and thought to himself.
“Four million!? My entire net worth was only around three million. There is no way I’d ever be able to buy it for her.”
Putting off a weak smile, Blakely replied
“Sounds like this Dream lover is very popular.”
Kevin stepped forward,
“Babe, why don’t you bring the necklace so I can help you drop it home? After all, I am your HUSBAND.
Kevin made sure to emphasize on the husband showing a displeased look on his handsome face.

After about five days, she would be like any other normal person, and she wouldn't be able to use medicinal herbs to regain what she had lost. I can't believe that this pill can do all that, Kevin marveled. His thoughts were interrupted by an unfamiliar ringtone. For a second, he wondered if there was a burglar in the house, but then he realized that the sound was coming from his pocket.Who would be making a video call to Penny in the middle of the night? Could it be her boyfriend? Kevin wondered. By reflex, he answered the call. A moment later, he saw a beautiful woman standing in front of her closet picking out clothes. Oops, didn't mean to see that, Kevin thought to himself.She looked very familiar to him, but he just couldn't place her. While he was looking at her, trying to figure out who she was, the woman turned around to see why nobody was talking yet. When she saw Kevin, she screamed and disconnected the call.That's when Kevin realized that she was the young woman whose gr
CHAPTER 196
"How much do you want?" His father asked him, as expected, Wyatt started to freak out. Mike said, "You think money grows on trees? Didn't I just give you that much a few days ago?" How could Wyatt Tripp not go ballistic? He'd worked his entire life to build up his business and now his son was just giving his money away. Mike was frustrated by his father's response. He'd only gotten in this situation because he was trying to get elected student leader.If his father wasn't willing to help, he might have to tell his classmates the truth. "What are you talking about, Dad? School’s going great. And my teachers are fantastic." Mike told his father, laying it on thick. "It's definitely a serious program."“What the hell are you talking about? When did I ask you about school?" Wyatt shouted into his phone. I don't give a crap if you like the place or not. "Don't worry, Dad, I'm doing great." He continued. "But it would really help if you could transfer some money into my account.""I'll tra
CHAPTER 195
"It wouldn't be a great idea to trick her like that." He really didn't want to make a bad impression on Penny. "No problem, Mike." Luther continued. "If Penny helps you pay the bill, you can use it as an excuse to get closer to her. You could even connect with her online to arrange to repay her and to get to know her better." Mike got really excited by this idea.He slapped Luther on the back and said, "I like the way you think. It's a good thing I brought you two guys along." When Kevin heard this, he quickly headed back to the VIP room. As he got to the door, Penny was walking out. Kevin came up with a plan of his own. As Penny brushed against him, he used the light touch that he'd learned about in the secret guide and took her phone and wallet.Let's see what Mike does now. Kevin smirked as he slipped the items into his jacket. With all his posturing, he isn't really that strong. Let's see him show his true colors. When Kevin returned to his seat and sat down, Mike and his two budd

"That has to be disappointing. You think you're more handsome than me? Everyone knows that just isn't true." Kevin teased him. "What do you mean by that?" Mike retorted as he slammed his fist on the table. "Don't be angry, Mike. This whole thing really isn't worth it." Lionel tried to persuade his friend. Then Luther tried to calm him down. "Relax, Mike. You're absolutely right. Kevin must be jealous of you. That's why I said there's something wrong with this pill.""You still don't understand, do you? Both you and your father were cheated by someone. This isn't an augmentation pill at all. Kevin told them bluntly. An augmentation pill is more of a light blue color. Plus it contains some floral ingredients which gives it a beautiful fragrance. Take another look at the medicinal pill you just gave our professor." Kevin continued."It's obviously the wrong color and has no fragrance at all." They were all stunned to hear him say this. Even Penny reacted and stared keenly at Kevin. Mike
CHAPTER 193
"Don't be so modest, Mike. Who is better qualified to be our class leader?" Luther chimed in. The rest of the students just sat there quietly and watched the show that the three of them were putting on. But they didn't want to seem ungrateful. So they were willing to go along with the idea of electing Mike to the position."Since no one has any objections, then how could I decline? But let's just call it a temporary position. If anyone feels that I'm not carrying my weight, just say so." Mike declared as he raised his glass to toast his classmates.Professor Murdock stayed out of the discussion. And quietly observed her students as they drank their wine and socialized with each other. Meanwhile, Penny just sat quietly by the window nursing her glass to mute. Her classmates were too intimidated by her to go up and talk to her.While this was going on, Mike took Lionel aside and asked him to go down to his car and bring back a red gift box that he'd left in the trunk. Lionel came back a
CHAPTER 192
"Since you think this is just a bus pass, I guess I'll just put it back in my wallet." Kevin said as he started to take it back from the concierge. “Well, since you've already taken it out, why don't we give it a try?" Mike replied. He obviously didn't want to pass up this opportunity to make Kevin look like a fool. So he ran things up and added."Let's see what the hotel staff can do with it." While the crowd was laughing at Kevin, the hotel employees were staring in disbelief. They weren't sure how to defuse the situation. The employee who was holding Kevin's card started to get very nervous when she took a good look at it. During their training, all of the employees of the Whistler Hotel had been required to memorize the appearance of the Supreme VIP card. And that's exactly what Kevin had handed her. Cook had explained to them that there were only five cards like this in all of Veridonia. And they were only given to the hotel's most prestigious clients.The group of students saw t
