Chapter 1206 Heat in the Camargo Apartment
Elaine froze midstep, her eyes wide as saucers. In front of her stood the irresistible, sculpted, sinfully good-looking older brother of her best friend — and he was completely naked!Kirk should have covered himself, but shock rooted him to the floor. His jaw flexed; his breath hitched.The awkwardness of the moment hung heavy in the air, charged and forbidden.Then, as the initial shock dissolved, Elaine’s gaze began to travel — slow, deliberate, hungry — over the chiseled lines of his chest, down his taut abdomen, lingering on the unmistakable evidence of his manhood.A small, involuntary smile curved her lips, one of approval and temptation.Kirk’s expression darkened into something primal. The soldier, the predator in him, awakened.He looked at her not as an intruder, but as a woman, one whose presence ignited something raw and uncontrollable.Without another word, Kirk kicked the rest of his pants aside, seized Elaine by the waist, and dragged her into his bedroom. She let out
Chapter 1205 Suspicious Customers
The Happy Snack Bar was busier than usual that night. The air was thick with the sizzling of burgers and fries, the chatter of patrons, and the hurried shuffle of waiters struggling to keep up with orders.Gustavo moved behind the counter with the precision of habit, his sharp eyes watching over the rhythm of his small empire.The presence of Jackson Borges among the customers had everyone slightly on edge.The man was a model, a local celebrity of sorts, and though he behaved with calm politeness, accepting his fries, cheeseburger, and Coke Zero with an easy smile, his reputation brought a quiet tension to the room.“Enjoy your meal, Mr. Borges,” the waiter said with his usual charm.“Thank you,” Jackson replied, glancing around. “You’ve got quite the crowd tonight.”“By God’s grace,” the waiter said cheerfully before rushing off to another table.Jackson leaned back in his seat and pulled out his phone. Casually, he angled it as though to take a picture, but in truth his attention w
Chapter 1204 A Toast to the Future
Jacqueline and Walter arrived together at the Andrade Mansion after a long, exhausting day at work. In the vast marble vestibule, the ever-dutiful Gumercindo was waiting to greet them.“Good evening, Miss and Mr. Andrade,” he said with his usual formal politeness.“Good evening, Gumercindo,” Jacqueline replied, removing her coat. “How’s our father?”“Binge-watching Magnum P.I. and Hawaii Five-O,” the butler answered, completely straight-faced.Walter couldn’t help but laugh. “Let me guess: he’s watching the 1968 version, not the remake?”Jacqueline arched an eyebrow. “Are you calling our father old, Walt?”Even Gumercindo chuckled as he took Jacqueline’s purse and Walter’s jacket before retreating discreetly. Once he was gone, Walter’s smile faded, replaced by a more serious expression.“All right, sis,” he began, “what do you think we should do?”Jacqueline knew exactly what he meant. “About Linda? You have to protect her, no matter what.”“I don’t want to accept her resignation,” Wa
Chapter 1203 Ambush at the Happy Snack Bar
Edmund had been putting off the conversation with his son for far too long, but there was no avoiding it now. The air in the bedroom was thick with tension. Bryce stood before him, his breathing ragged and shallow, eyes blazing with disbelief and rage.“Calm down, son,” Edmund urged quietly.“Calm down?” Bryce shouted, his voice cracking. “How dare you?”“If the situation were reversed,” Edmund said, keeping his tone steady, “you wouldn’t be reacting like this if it were just another woman, regardless of her age. What upsets you is that the woman in question is Tiffany.”Bryce’s jaw clenched. “That has nothing to do with it!”“It has everything to do with it,” Edmund countered. “You’ve had feelings for Tiffany for some time.”Bryce said nothing. His silence was confirmation enough. His eyes darted away, shame flickering across his face.“I’ll be honest,” Edmund continued, “I never imagined you saw her that way. You used to bring so many girls home, I thought you weren’t the relationsh
Chapter 1202 You Were Cruel to My Brother
Gustavo descended the grand staircase of the Alvares family home, his steps slow, the situation of the afternoon still heavy in the air. Linda sat on the sofa, calmer now, her eyes swollen from crying but comforted by the presence of those who loved her.“I really need to go,” Jacqueline said, standing up and adjusting her purse. “My mother doesn’t even know I went out. Good afternoon, Gustavo.”“Almost evening,” he replied with a gentle smile. “Are you all right, Jacque? Thank you for bringing Linda home.”“She wasn’t in any condition to come by herself.”“Jacque,” Linda murmured, her voice hoarse but sincere, “you’re a true friend.”Jacqueline smiled, her expression softening. “Count on you at my wedding, okay? Take care, everyone.”They said their goodbyes, and Jacqueline left, the front door closing behind her with a quiet thud. Gustavo turned to his younger sister, whose hands trembled in her lap.“Linda, you need to calm down,” he said softly.Paulina’s voice, however, carried t
Chapter 1201 Father and Son, Rival Hearts
Patricia arrived at the Borges House and exhaled deeply, trying to let go of the tension that still coiled inside her after facing Elaine.As she shut the door behind her, Vanda appeared on the staircase, her silk robe flowing softly with each step.“Patty, what happened?” Vanda asked, instantly reading her daughter’s tight expression. “How was it at the Sterling Mansion?”“It could have been perfect, Mother,” Patricia sighed.Vanda’s concern deepened. She stepped closer, lowering her voice. “Oh, no... She was there, wasn’t she?”Patricia’s jaw tightened. “Yes. She was there. And she refused to give in — not until Matt showed up.”Vanda wrapped her daughter in her arms, the scent of her perfume enveloping Patricia like a balm. “I’m so sorry, sweetheart. You’re in for a fierce battle.”“I don’t have to be afraid,” Patricia said, her voice trembling but resolute. “Not with Matt by my side.”“The bitch won’t make it easy, though,” Vanda muttered, pulling away. “I bet she whinnied loud en
