"Nggh… it hurts…" Bianca thought that she was going to be flayed by how forceful Luke's movements were. Her fair skin was turning pink. The man glared coldly at her. He wanted to remove all the traces of another man on her body! When Luke carried Bianca out of the bathtub, still choking on bathwater, her skin was like a cooked prawn. The man brought her in front of a floor-to-ceiling window. The suite was on the top floor of the hotel. Looking out of the window, Bianca could see the entire city. The city below was lustrous and dazzling, as though it was adorned by precious metals and gemstones. The scene looked like a dream. In front of the window was an exquisite recliner. Someone sitting there would be able to take in the view of the entire world outside the window. Bianca was vaguely aware of what he was doing. Her muddled brain seemed to have regained some consciousness, and she shook her head in shock. "Luke… no… not there…" Bianca was afraid that Luke would do
Bianca felt guilty when she thought about the two children. She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that they were safe. Fortunately, nothing happened to them. She would forever regret it if something did. "I promise that it won't happen again," Bianca said determinedly to Faye. Faye nodded, then left the room. In any case, she was quite satisfied with the young woman. Bianca was beautiful, had a gentle personality, and was caring and considerate. Not only did she have the boss's love, but she was also the birth mother of the two children. Together, they could form a happy family in which the two children could thrive. However, as a mother, she still had a lot to learn. After Faye left, Bianca opened the box. Inside it was a set of pure white Chanel clothes. The design was modern and elegant, and the tailoring was immaculate. Bianca had seen the clothes in one of the recent fashion magazines. The clothes cost one year's worth of her salary. She could not have a
Leia placed the flask of chicken soup on the table and called out gently, "Mr. Crawford." Her mother had said that the fastest way to a man's heart was through his stomach. Of course, Leia did not know how to fry an egg, let alone make chicken soup. However, Queenie, her adopted mother, was a good cook. Luke turned around. The female celebrity was dazzled by his impeccable facial features. Undeniably, Luke was a very handsome man. He was handsome not only because of his sculpted face but also because of his mature character. Luke might look young, but he carried the dominating and enigmatic deportment of a king. That must have been the culmination of many years of experience in the harsh battlefield of the business world. "Mr. Crawford, I'd like to discuss with you about our collaboration. Right, I've also brought some chicken soup for you. I hope you'll like it," Leia said. Luke frowned slightly. "Thank you, Ms. Norman. I'm sorry, I've already had breakfast, so you sho
Luke shot a glance at Bianca. She was impeccably dressed in a fitting set of women's clothes. Her slender and fair legs were exposed beneath the skirt. Her hair fell on her shoulders and back like a waterfall. Her face was delicate and clean, her eyes were like stars, and her lips were adorned by a faint coat of lipstick. The silk scarf gave her a unique charm, though he knew that she wore it to hide the marks on her neck. Her elegance was like a cherry tree in full bloom. Luke felt his lower abdomen pulsating enthusiastically when he was reminded of Bianca's exquisite performance the night before. However, his gaze turned cold, and he pressed his lips when he thought of the woman's silly actions. Bianca was fearful when she looked at him. She dared not breathe too loudly, in case she somehow angered him and he refused to save Nina. Bianca cleared her throat and placed the document on his table. "These are the documents you requested, Mr. Crawford." She felt bitterness in
When Jason stepped into the office, he saw that his boss was leaning against his chair. The man's tie was slightly undone. Jason was surprised to see that he seemed dejected, as though the world had abandoned him. Jason thought that his boss had overworked himself. After handling the incident in Western Europe, the boss immediately took a flight back to A City. Back at the company, he attended several meetings in which he had to make important decisions. Perhaps he had not slept well for a few days in a row; after all, he was a workaholic. However, Jason could not remember that his boss was ever so dejected. "Mr. Crawford…" Jason took out his notebook and prepared to report business updates to Luke. He instantly shut his mouth when he noticed that Luke's eyes were closed, perhaps resting. Jason looked at Luke's face carefully. His gaze was filled with admiration and respect. As CEO of T Corporation, Luke Crawford had always been resolute and assertive. Not only did he
Lacey wailed even louder after she heard her husband reprimand her. Eventually, she lifted her head and looked at Daniel. "Now you blame me for pampering the kid, but what have you done? All you know is make money. Sometimes you don't come home at night, and sometimes you fly out for business trips for extended periods. Don't you know your son's personality? Do you think that I alone can discipline him?" "I have to support the family. You don't have a job, so how am I supposed to pay the bills if I don't work hard?" Daniel said. He had toiled hard for the family over so many years, and now his wife was blaming her for not taking care of their son. That made him angry. As Daniel and Lacey argued, Xavier eventually came to. His head that was already throbbing hurt even more when he saw his parents almost getting physical with each other. "Alright, that's enough. Can't you just let me rest?" Xavier said with an annoyed expression. Ever since he was a child, his parents had n
Regal Capital. At night, Bianca sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window after she took a bath. She tilted her head and looked outside. The street lights in the neighborhood were dim, and she could only see several faint shadows. She did not turn on the heater in the house. Bianca was dressed in thin cotton pajamas. It was slightly cold, but that was how she could keep herself conscious… None of the furnishings of the room had changed, but she felt that it was barren and desolate. It was lacking the warmth of her two babies. She was alone, and even the air in the room tasted bitter. She thought of Nina, whose fate was currently unknown, her two children, and Luke, whose temperament had suddenly changed. She buried her head in her knees. … Outside of Bianca's neighborhood, Luke tried to reach her over the phone but to no avail. He knew that Bianca was at home; he had gone to Kevin's former house and found Wanda staying there by herself. She was not at the new ho
Luke's arm muscles tensed. He confirmed that the house was indeed Bianca's, then knocked on the window and said softly. "It's me, Bianca. Can you open the door? Or the window?" Luke called out several times, but there was no response. He wondered if Bianca could hear him. That made Luke nervous. Did something happen to Bianca? He instantly lost his composure when he thought of that. Moving along the balcony, he arrived at the window of her bedroom. Fortunately, the window was not locked, and he quickly climbed into the room. Instead of feeling the warm air from the heater, the temperature in the room was the same as outside. He shivered uncontrollably. The room was dark and quiet, as though no one lived in the house. That made him feel more uneasy than ever. He quickly opened the bedroom door and went out to the living room! Instantly, he saw Bianca curled up on the couch, only dressed in thin pajamas. She seemed to be lost in her own world, not realizing Luke's intrusion
