MasukAll words were silenced by his kiss, his lips were incredibly soft and the kiss was addictive.
Although it started as something forced, it quickly became something she craved and she eagerly kissed him back. They teased each other as if in a competition to see who would succumb first. Serena, with alcohol in her system and a warmth spreading through her body, felt like she was going to explode from Damien's teasing. She just needed an outlet for all that heat. Damien, with his seemingly cold heart, had lips that were not only soft but also cool, like delicious jelly, making her want to nibble them to quench the fire within her. His hands moved swiftly over Serena's body, noticing the rising heat emanating from her. His gaze darkened with intensity. Suddenly, he cursed under his breath and tore her clothes apart in one swift motion. Serena barely had time to react. Her husband was so rough, ripping her clothes like that. How was she supposed to go back without them? This bad man, was he doing it on purpose? Whether it was intentional or not, Damien wasn't ready to discuss it. He was more focused on punishing this restless woman, making her regret ever provoking him. This woman was one thing, but the fact that she dared to take something to enhance her mood was what really set Damien's anger ablaze. His actions were anything but gentle; they were downright rough. Serena's rationality was completely shattered and she found herself craving Damien's straightforward intensity. It was as if their bodies had reached an unspoken agreement, each taking and giving in turn. After three exhausting hours, Serena was too tired to even lift a finger. This man was something else. Damien emerged from the shower, wrapped in a robe, with a noticeable scratch across his chest—a testament to their recent passionate encounter. Serena's gaze was bold and unrestrained as she admired his well-toned physique. Droplets of water traced down his defined muscles and the towel draped over him seemed to hold a tantalizing allure. Under the dim light, she unabashedly took in every inch of him from top to bottom. Though she'd touched him many times before, he remained irresistibly captivating. Damien didn't shy away from her brazen stare, allowing her eyes to roam freely over him. "Ready for another round?” "Mr. Kade, you're full of energy, but I must admit defeat," Serena replied with a playful smile. "Weren't you just keeping up? What's changed?" Serena couldn't back down from a challenge like this. She smirked, "Honey, I've heard too much can be bad for you. I'm just looking out for you. There's always tomorrow..." Damien didn't call her bluff. Instead, he dressed and approached the sofa, lifting Serena's chin with his hand. "Let me warn you, as my wife, staying in line is the least I expect. If I catch you misbehaving again, don't blame me for being harsh." "If you're looking for fun or excitement, you can always come to me. I'll make sure you're satisfied since our chemistry is undeniable..." Damein released her chin and gently patted her rosy cheek. "Got it?" Serena suddenly burst into laughter, her eyes filled with blatant teasing. "Mr. Kade, are you kidding? You've been having way more fun out there than I have! I'm just playing around, but you've been making headlines with the real deal. Haven't you noticed?" Damein raised an eyebrow slightly. "You shouldn't believe those gossip stories..." "Come on, Mr. Kade, can't own up to your actions? What kind of man does that make you?" Damein looked at Serena's face and suddenly smiled. "What? Are you jealous?" Serena quickly shook her head. "Not at all, not at all. It's all just fun and games. But next time, use protection, okay? I don't want to catch anything." Damein's expression darkened instantly. After a moment, he turned and walked away. Serena lay back on the large sofa, feeling satisfied as she watched Damien leave in anger. "Mr. Kade, you ruined my clothes. You owe me a new outfit, don't you think?" Damien had reached the door but paused at her words. After he left, he still arranged for someone to deliver a dress to Serena and even had someone personally escort her home. When Serena changed into the dress, she noticed two men, looking like bodyguards, standing outside the door. Serena thought, "Seriously?" Damien had actually sent people to keep an eye on her. How shameless could he be? The dress he sent was a long black gown. On Serena, it looked like a black rose blooming in the night, striking and radiant. The two bodyguards glanced at her briefly before quickly averting their eyes, not daring to look any longer. Serena stepped out the door and the two bodyguards followed closely behind her like shadows. She turned around, flashing a charming smile, "Gentlemen, what are you up to?” The two bodyguards spoke in a formal manner, "Miss Vale, Mr. Kade has asked us to personally escort you back, so please, Miss Vale, if you would." The two towering bodyguards gestured for her to follow. Serena glanced outside. It was only around 1 a.m., the peak time for the bar's lively atmosphere. "But my friend is still inside. I want to find her first..." The tall bodyguards insisted, "Miss Vale, you should come with us." Their meaning was clear. Serena wasn't pleased. "I came here with my friend, if I'm leaving, I should at least tell her. What if she get worried and call the police when she can't find me?" "Besides, my bag and phone are still inside. Can you let me go in and get them?" One of the bodyguards offered, "Miss Vale, we can go in and retrieve your belongings for you." Serena firmly refused, "No way. My friend don't know you. Why would she trust strangers to give you my stuff? How about this, you can come in with me..." Serena pleaded, "There are important things in my bag and my phone has important stuff too..." Seeing her pitiful expression, the bodyguards finally relented. They accompanied Serena back inside to get her things.When did Damien become such a nice guy? was the old fox just putting on a new coat of paint, pretending to be a good person?Damien returned with a glass of water and handed Serena her medication. She watched him with a curious expression.Damien frowned slightly. "Why are you staring at me like that? Do you think just by looking at me, you'll magically get better?"Serena shook her head cutely and said, "The nurse told me you stayed here all night watching over me. It really wasn't necessary. I'm the kind of person who just has a little fever and by the next day, it goes away on its own…”Damien kept a straight face. "I was worried you'd burn up in my apartment, and then I'd be accused of murder. I wouldn't be able to clear my name no matter what."Seeing Damien's unexpectedly adorable demeanor, Serena suddenly leaned in when he wasn't paying attention and quickly pecked him on the cheek. Feeling delighted, she said, "Thank you, hubby."Damien looked at her speechlessly and sighed.
Though curious, Damien didn't do anything about it. He didn't wake her up, thinking it might be one of Serena's little tricks. Maybe she was planning something exciting? Wasn't last night enough?After taking a shower and replying to some emails, Damien finally entered the bedroom. He slipped under the covers and gently turned Serena towards him.As she leaned in, he felt a wave of heat coming from her. It took him a second to realize what was happening. She had a high fever.Luckily, they had a digital thermometer at home.Damien took out the thermometer and checked Serena's temperature. It read 103.1°F. She had a high fever.No wonder, as soon as he got into bed, he felt a wave of heat coming from her.Damien gently patted her cheek. "Wake up, you have a high fever. I need to take you to the hospital."By this point, Serena was barely conscious, only managing a faint moan without saying a word.Damien knew he had no choice. If her fever continued, it could be dangerous.He quickly
Cooking was something she avoided whenever possible. After all, which young person these days actually liked cooking? It was such a hassle, especially when you could get anything delivered right to your door.Why would she bother cooking? If it weren't for Damien's insistence tonight, she wouldn't have even considered it. It felt like a waste of time, she could have just ordered some fried chicken or spicy fish stew and enjoyed it while watching her favorite shows. So much more comfortable."Besides, learning to cook doesn't really require mucheffort. You just need to follow a recipe. Open any app and you'll find tons of cooking tutorials, detailed down to the minute. Just follow along. If someone can't manage that, then there's something wrong with their head..."Damien: "..." He felt like he was being criticized even while doing nothing. It seemed like Serena's words had a hidden jab in them.Damien looked at Serena, speechless. "Since you can cook and you're so good at it, why do
Serena glanced at the price and immediately put it back.That kind of high-end beef was ridiculously expensive, meant to rip off the wealthy. No one from a modest background would spend a fortune on beef. For that price, you could practically buy a whole fresh cow.Damien frowned slightly, picked the beef up again and placed it in the cart. "I'll pay."Seeing Serena's pained expression, Damien decisively pulled out his black card. Wow. Who brings a black card to the supermarket? Truly, money was no object for him.Oh well, since Mr. Damien was footing the bill, Serena decided not to hold back. She grabbed whatever caught her eye, especially the expensive stuff. Of course, she could afford it herself, but she was too frugal.Growing up in the slums, she had learned to stretch every penny. Even though she was earning her own money now, saving had become second nature to her.Usually, Serena wouldn't dare to splurge on cherries and strawberries, but today she grabbed several boxes of ea
Serena wasn't really interested in the Yan family drama. What intrigued her more was why Damien was telling her all this.Puzzled, Serena asked, "Why are you telling me this? You don't think I'm interested in him, do you?"Damien replied bluntly, "You better not be.""Wow..." Serena couldn't help but laugh. "Mr. Franklin, you're quite the busybody. Does your house sit by the ocean?"Damein said, "My house isn't by the ocean, but if I wanted, the whole ocean could be mine."Sheesh… What an arrogant guy.How could someone be so full of himself?But considering the power of the Kade family, buying a piece of the ocean wouldn't be impossible. That's why Damien was so cocky.Just because he's got money to throw around, he thinks he's something special? Big deal, he's just a rich kid. No, scratch that, he's a super-rich kid.He really thinks he's all that.Being a rich kid isn't all that impressive. If you're going to be rich, you should be the one who makes it happen.Damien could tell fro
Layla burst out laughing, "Oh my gosh! Is your boss always this funny?"Serena rolled her eyes, "Yeah, he's a real gem. Always thinking about the company, right?"Layla chuckled, "I met him once, but I didn't realize he was such a character. he's quite amusing."Serena laughed, "Not everyone can handle this beauty, you know…”Just as she finished her sentence, she noticed Damien standing right in front of her.Serena was startled, almost having a heart attack. She covered the phone's microphone and glared at him, "Mr. Kade, what are you doing? Walking so quietly? You nearly scared me to death!"Damien replied bluntly, "If you have a clear conscience, you wouldn't be afraid of ghosts knocking. What are you guilty of?""I..."On the other end, Layla said to Serena, "Alright, I'm done teasing you. I have to go live now, so I'll catch you later. Mua... Bye!"Facing Damien's scrutinizing gaze, Serena smiled. She set down her phone and stepped forward, rising on her tiptoes to hook her arm
