The prestigious Yang Family of the capital, renowned for their immense wealth and influence, is also infamous for their scant number of family members. For six generations, the Yang family has been blessed with only a single child per generation, making Kendrick Yang the sole successor of this powerful lineage. "Kendrick, since you've divorced Amelia, it's high time you find someone to bear an heir; otherwise, our family legacy will end with you!" Old Madam Yang, Kendrick's Grandmother, declared, her voice laced with desperation. "I know what I'm doing," Kendrick replied curtly, his expression an impenetrable mask. "Stop nagging Kendrick! Amelia will always be my only granddaughter-in-law," Old Master Yang insisted with unwavering authority, his eyes glinting with resolve. Kendrick's heart ached at the mention of Amelia. Despite their substantial age difference, he had fallen deeply in love with her at first sight. Their marriage had faced numerous obstacles, including fertility issues and fierce resistance from Kendrick's parents. These challenges eventually led to their painful divorce, leaving both of them heartbroken. Amelia, unaware that she was pregnant with quintuplets, left the country and returned to her family, reclaiming her identity as Amara Ulberti. Nearby, Amelia overheard the conversation, her heart clenching at the mention of her name. Old Master Yang's fierce loyalty touched her deeply. Almost instantly, a bittersweet smile tugged at her lips. She thought, 'Who said Kendrick doesn't have any successors? He has five of them with me; but it's for me to know and for him to find out.' With a determined stride, she walked straight to the banquet hall. Just as Amelia vanished into the crowd, four striking, confident figures appeared before Kendrick and his grandparents. "If we are not his heirs, then what are we?" Aristide, the oldest, asked, with defiant tilt of his chin as he spoke. "Who said my father needed another woman?" Bérenger chimed in, his eyes burning with intensity, his small fists clenched tightly. "If he dares to replace Mom, I'll beat him to a pulp!" Chevalier declared, his small frame exuding fierce protectiveness. "If he dares to find another woman, big brother, just bankrupt his company!" Diedonné suggested, his voice dripping with a cold, calculating tone. Kendrick "...." Kendrick stood there, stunned, his mind struggling to process the presence of the four miniature versions of himself, with his mouth agape. Old Madam Yang's eyes widened in shock. "!!!!" Old Master Yang's jaw dropped. "????" "A, B, C, D! How could you leave me behind?" E, panting and out of breath, complained. But when she saw Kendrick, her eyes lit up with joy. "Daddy! We finally found you!" E, the youngest and only girl among the quintuplets, exclaimed and ran towards Kendrick. She leapt into his arms, wrapping her small arms around his neck. Kendrick, startled, instinctively held her tight, afraid she might fall.
Kendrick Yang, CEO of the KY Global Group of Companies, has been known for its superiority in business for the last four generations, which makes the Yang Family the most prominent family in Y Country.
Kendrick, the sole heir of the Yang family, finds himself in a unique predicament. The Yang lineage, known for producing only one child per generation, has now reached a critical point. At forty-five, Kendrick's family is pressuring him to marry, arranging countless blind dates that only serve to frustrate him.
Despite his family's expectations, Kendrick is not one to settle for less. He yearns for a partner who can match his ambition, not just someone to fill a societal role. His dedication to work and his relentless pursuit of perfection leave him with little time for socializing.
With his usual business at work, Kendrick was checking several contracts his assistant, Alu, had presented to him when his phone rang.
"Kendrick, tonight is Nerissa's party! Remember to come!" Beryl exclaimed.
Beryl is Kendrick's childhood best friend, while Nerissa is Beryl's only sister, who holds a special place in Beryl's heart, and he spoils her a lot. His reminder to ensure Kendrick's presence at her party is a testament to their close bond.
"Yes, I will be there," Kendrick said and hung up.
"Alu, prepare a gift for Nerissa's party tonight."
"Yes, Sir."
"Buy two gifts. I remember Nerissa is celebrating with her best friend tonight."
"Sir, what is the occasion, if I may ask?"
"Both girls finished their PhD, and it's their celebratory party."
"Understood."
Kendrick is a perfectionist when it comes to work; he exhibits exemplary discipline, diligence, and dedication in all he does. He is competitive, achievement-oriented, and ambitious. He has a strong desire for success and productivity, and he always has a sense of urgency, which makes him impatient.
Moreover, Kendrick is highly organized and proactive in all aspects, and his high standards are equivalent to perfection. He thrives on every challenge and is motivated by the pursuit of advancement and success.
Kendrick would feel anxious and stressed when he identified any inefficiency or lack of organization; he would exhibit the need for strong control over the situation.
These traits are what put Kendrick at the top.
At exactly eight in the evening, Kendrick steps out of his Rolls Royce while Alu opens the door for him to arrive at the Le Club.
The party was already in full swing when Kendrick joined.
Grabbing a glass of red wine from the waiter, Kendrick walks over to meet with Beryl, who is chatting with their two other friends.
"Kendrick! I'm glad you are finally here! My sister has been bothering me all night, asking why you have not come! Five more minutes, and she would already run amok if she doesn't see you!" Beryl jokingly said.
"Come, and let me show you to her!" Beryl pulled Kendrick with him to find Nerissa.
Nerissa is with her best friend and other fellow graduates at the bar.
"Nerissa!" Beryl called her out.
When Nerissa saw her brother with Kendrick, she ran like a child, throwing herself at Kendrick.
"Brother Kendrick!" She excitedly shouted.
Kendrick has been used to Nerissa's childish and spoiled act and has indulged her.
"Brother Kendrick, let me introduce you to my best friend!"
"You change your best friend every time we meet." Kendrick laughingly retorted.
"No, no, no... She's been my best friend for the past three years. But she is too introverted; she hates attending parties and meeting people, which is why you have not met her! But not tonight; I made sure she was present by putting our celebration together!" Nerissa happily said at the same time, pulling Kendrick to the end of the bar.
Kendrick was surprised to see a girl of Nerissa's age. Still, unlike Nerissa, this girl was wearing a simple white dress, her hair neatly combed in a ponytail, and she was without makeup. It's the purest temperament that she exudes that catches Kendrick's attention.
"Brother, this is my only best friend, Amelia! Amelia, this is my brother Kendrick I have told you about!" Nerissa introduces them. "Oh, and you already know my brother Beryl; never mind him!" Nerissa happily added.
Amelia smiled and extended her hand to Kendrick.
"It is good to meet you finally, Sir. I have heard so much about you from Nerissa."
As Kendrick listened to Amelia's sweet voice and felt her hand in his, he couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart. It was a sensation he had never experienced before.
'No, she is just a girl.' Kendrick reminded himself.
On the other hand, Amelia's ears had turned red, and she felt Kendrick holding her hand.
'How can a man in his forties look this young and majestic?' Amelia, who has never been interested in men, felt her heart flip when he felt Kendrick's hand holding hers.
"It is good for Nerissa to have a friend like you," Kendrick said while still holding her hand.
"Brother! What do you mean by that?!" Nerissa whined.
Kendrick chuckled upon hearing Nerissa and shuffled her hair like a kid.
"Ah! You ruined my hair!"
"Come on, let's go back to our friends. They have not seen you for a long time; they especially came just to see you." Beryl declared.
Kendrick nodded without his eyes leaving Amelia.
"I have prepared a gift for you and Nerissa," Kendrick said to Amelia.
"Thank you." Amelia shyly replied.
"Then, I'll go back to our friends."
"Um," Nerissa uttered, giving a wave while blushing.

But that joy was replaced with dread as her husband, Ryan, showered his affections on his first love. With a heavy heart, she chose to set him free and leave.

Linsey was stood up by her groom to run off with another woman. Furious, she grabbed a random stranger and declared, "Let's get married!" She had acted on impulse, realizing too late that her new husband was the notorious rascal, Collin. The public laughed at her, and even her runaway ex offered to reconcile. But Linsey scoffed at him. "My husband and I are very much in love!" Everyone thought she was delusional. Then Collin was revealed to be the richest man in the world. In front of everyone, he got down on one knee and held up a stunning diamond ring. "I look forward to our forever, honey."
Joelle thought she could change Adrian's heart after three years of marriage, but she realized too late that it already belonged to another woman. "Give me a baby, and I'll set you free." The day Joelle went into labor, Adrian was traveling with his mistress on his private jet. "I don't care whom you love. My debt is paid. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other." Not long after Joelle left, Adrian found himself begging on his knees. "Please come back to me."
"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word. I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached. "Where can I sign?" I asked since I had nothing to lose. *** Nadine's wedding dreams turned to nightmares when she caught her sister and fiancé cheating! With a secret recording, she's ready for revenge.

"I'm going to tell you what I have in mind," he murmured. "First you're going to strip down until you're completely naked," he whispered against her ear. "Then I'm going to tie you up so you're completely powerless and subject to my every whim." "Mmm, sounds good so far," she murmured. "Then I'm going to insert a plug to prepare you for me. After that I'm going to spank that sweet ass of yours until it's rosy with my marks." She shivered uncontrollably, her mind exploding with the images he evoked. She let out a small whimper as he sucked the lobe of her ear into his mouth. God, she could cum with just his words. She was already aching with need. Her nipples tingled and hardened to painful points. Her clit pulsed and twitched between her legs until she clamped her thighs together to alleviate the burn. "And then I'm going to f**k your mouth. But I won't cum. Not yet. When I'm close, I'll flog you again until your ass is burning and you're on fire with the need for relief. And then I'm going to f**k that ass. I'm going to take you hard and rough, to the very limits of what you can withstand. I won't be gentle. Not tonight. I'm going to take you as roughly as you can stand. And then I'm going to cum all over your ass. Are you ready to be completely and utterly dominated?"
