Chapter 2 Two

CHAPTER 2 Louis leaned in closer to Kylie, her scent still the same as the first time. A mix of flowers and that boldness Louis never saw coming.

Kylie’s hands pulled him in, yanking his neck closer. A long moan escaped Kylie’s lips as Louis’ hips started moving faster, matching the rhythm of the bed underneath them. "Baby... this, ah, is unbelievable!"

Louis picked up the pace, while Kylie pressed her body against his, letting something down there get warmer and wetter.

Finally, they hit the peak, and Louis rolled over onto his side next to Kylie. His panting breath became the soundtrack to their release that night. It wasn’t the first time. But Kylie was still the same. Still knew how to satisfy Louis, and what was his down below.

Kylie slowly rolled over, letting her tired face turn to the side. She propped her head up with her hand before speaking, "Is Beatrice coming back?"

Louis turned his head. His dark eyes looked at Kylie with so much love. The look he used to give his wife, now fully directed at Kylie. "You don’t need to worry. I’ve signed the divorce papers. My lawyer’s handling the rest." One of Louis’s hands reached up, gently caressing Kylie’s sweat-drenched cheek. He smiled softly and looked at her with affection. "We’ll be together, Kylie."

"What about your company?"

"Everything’s gonna be mine."

"Didn’t you say... Beatrice helped build the business?"

Louis snorted, then playfully nudged Kylie’s nose with his. "She helped me with the savings she had. But it wasn’t much. Compared to the assets I have now, she doesn’t mean anything. Don’t worry about it. Beatrice and I are divorced. She’s just a poor girl. Her parents live in a village, and she won’t be able to challenge me with the money she has."

"I heard Beatrice’s parents have a farm."

"Should we be thinking about those dirty cows right now, Kylie?"

Kylie smiled wider, feeling relieved. She moved closer, wrapping herself around Louis, hugging him with a grateful look. "Thank you, Louis. I’m so lucky to be with you."

"I’m lucky too, Kylie. I love you."

"I love you too."

After spending the night together, Louis went straight to the bathroom, getting ready to head to work. First Media was a global media company with dozens of branches in big cities and abroad. Louis built it from scratch. Starting with a small article business that slowly grew, making him the leader of the city’s most popular TV channel. Investors introduced by Beatrice were attracted to Louis’ business, pouring millions of dollars into it for mutual gain. Each year, Louis’s profits kept growing, drawing more attention from investors to fund his media empire. In just two years, Louis owned several local and international TV stations. His business was booming because Beatrice had been involved in the media world before they married. It had become a new empire, making Louis the king. But now, forgetting Beatrice’s contribution, Louis stood in front of the mirror, enjoying his success with another woman.

"You leaving now?"

Kylie’s hands wrapped around Louis’s waist from behind. She tilted her head, resting it on his arm, looking at him with soft eyes. "I still miss you."

Louis snorted, pulling Kylie’s hand and spinning her around, grabbing her beautiful hips intimately. "I’ll be back early after my meeting with the CEO of Dimitri Group. My first meeting with their staff went well. I just need to convince their leaders, and First Media will be the most successful media outlet in New York."

That was great news. Kylie smiled, pulling him in tighter. "Hope you make it."

Louis placed a quick kiss on Kylie’s lips before heading out for the business meeting. Louis walked into Dimitri Group with a confident stride. A multinational media company, far older and more successful than First Media. In its fifth year, Dimitri had expanded its reach, adding subsidiaries that loaned capital to the businesses under it. Dimitri Group was way bigger than anyone could imagine.

"Excuse me. I have an appointment with the CEO of Dimitri Group." Louis’ voice was met warmly by the receptionist behind the front desk. She was a young woman, about twenty-five. Louis noticed her name tag that said Kitty before she picked up the phone and confirmed that Louis was expected in the meeting room on the third floor. "Thanks for the info."

"You're welcome, Sir."

In the previous meeting, Louis received positive feedback on his presentation. He was confident this one would go well. If Dimitri Group approved his proposal, First Media would get millions of dollars every month for funding and a broader business partnership.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Louis finally reached the meeting room door. Staring at the glass door, he took a deep breath, slowly exhaling to calm his nerves before knocking. This meeting made him a bit anxious, and when he opened the door, the scene inside left him speechless.

It was nothing like Louis expected. It was far from what he had imagined.

"You? Why... are you here?"
