Samuel's current demeanor was precisely what Kimberly feared the most. She was unwilling to admit that she didn't hate Samuel but was somewhat intimidated by him.His compliance in recent times had led her into his carefully disguised trap. Now, she wanted to leave every moment, desperately trying to escape.Samuel saw the resistance and disgust in her eyes, which seemed to burn his own, and a flash of ferocity crossed the depths of his cold eyes.Kimberly struggled fiercely, "Samuel, I'm not willing. You can't do this! I could sue you!""Fine, then let everyone know you are Samuel's woman."With his physical advantage, Kimberly couldn't escape him.His demeanor made her shiver uncontrollably, knowing that resisting him would only infuriate him more.Her heart pounded as if it would leap out of her throat, her wrist pained by his grip.Her eyes welled up with tears of fear, which failed to evoke sympathy from him.Finally, Kimberly relented, "Samuel, don't do this, let's keep it like
His previously gentle appearance turned out to be all a facade.Samuel rarely lost control of himself like this...The person in his arms was now cursing him incessantly, "Samuel, you jerk... scoundrel..."Despite her constant mouthing off, she didn't lose her spirit.The person filled with anger almost laughed at her antics.The moonlight was lovely that night, the gentle full moon quietly hanging on the branches, like a dazzling gem, against the quiet night.Then, Samuel seemed to return to his usual gentleness and meticulousness.Concerned she might catch a cold, he placed a clean towel under her and sat her on the washstand. His slender fingers gently combed through her lengthy hair, blow-drying it for her.Kimberly was so tired that she could barely keep her eyes open, murmuring and wanting to sleep.Samuel watched, his eyes smiling, as she rested her head on his chest, acting petulantly. His voice was as soft as coaxing a friend, "Don't move. I'll dry your hair quickly and go to
When Kimberly arrived at the venue, the group's PR spokesperson had already started speaking. Fortunately, she was just in time.As soon as Sally saw her, she said, "Ms. Wilson, it's time to start."As soon as Kimberly arrived at the venue, all the spotlights were trained on her, instantly making her the center of attention.When the host announced her name, she took the stage, her smile bright and demeanor elegant.This was her first public appearance in front of the media. Kimberly, accustomed to the limelight, handled the media's sharp questions with confidence and humor, creating a high point in the atmosphere at the venue.The reporters' questions were not limited to her failed marriage or the complex love triangle. They also covered Wilson's plans, the latest products, and her contributions to charity, indirectly advertising for Wilson's.As the conference neared its end, gossip media still tried to dig into their private lives. One reporter asked, "Ms. Wilson, soon after you ma
When Steven left Kimberly's office, his entire demeanor screamed 'go away,' his face even grimmer than when he had entered. Kimberly followed behind him, her expression not much better.Those eagerly waiting for some gossip were frightened into silence by Steven’s intimidating presence, not daring even to sneak a peek, let alone breathe loudly.During the press conference, they had only found out about Steven's divorce from Kimberly that morning.Wasn't it supposed to be a peaceful separation?—Sitting in the café, Kimberly was still rubbing her sore wrist, reddened by Steven’s harsh grip, standing against her pale skin.Standing by their table and intimidated by Steven’s demeanor, the waiter didn't dare disturb him and instead cautiously asked the beautiful woman in front of him, "Ma'am, what would the gentleman like to drink?"Before Kimberly could respond, Steven pulled out several hundred dollar bills from his wallet and threw them on the table with a chilling tone, "Close the do
Adams instructed the club manager to clear everyone out.Blood oozed from a gash on his forehead, causing him pain. Seeing Ethan, he looked like he had seen a lifesaver."Damn it, ask him what the hell he wants. Is he insane?"Without glancing at them, Steven stepped over the mess and strode out.Ethan hurriedly stopped him, frowning, "What happened?"Steven glanced back at Adams, his face cold and terrifying, "Ask him."Adams: "..."He must have run into some serious bad luck.Ethan, seeing Adams equally baffled, realized asking him was pointless. Steven was usually carefree and unrestrained, and it was rare to see him lose control like this. It must have something to do with Kimberly again, he thought. There was no better explanation.He quickly followed Steven, fearing he might do something irrational. Coming out, he saw Steven making a call with a fierce look, "Turn everything upside down if you have to, but I want to know who that person is."Leaning against the window, Steven's
Kimberly froze, her expression changing almost instantly.With a frown of displeasure, she warned, "Samuel, this is my office."Samuel chuckled coldly, unrelenting, his eyes darkening with barely noticeable anger. "So what? I don't mind reminding you how you begged under me last night. Now you want to abandon me?""Don't even think about it," he said calmly.His voice was sharp yet husky, brushing softly yet firmly across her heart, leaving no room for doubt.Kimberly felt she still hadn't figured out what kind of person Samuel was. He was ten times, a hundred times more difficult to handle than Steven. She felt as if she had fallen into a massive trap, sinking deeper with every step.As she was about to speak, her phone suddenly vibrated frantically.Samuel raised an eyebrow, gesturing for her to answer the call.The caller was her friend, Evelyn.Kimberly gave Samuel a warning glance, signaling him to stop his nonsense.She then pushed him away and walked towards the floor-to-ceilin
It's deep winter in S City, exceptionally cold this year, with several heavy snowfalls in succession.A cold wind blew as Kimberly stepped out of the building, making her shiver involuntarily.A warm hand by her side grasped her soft, delicate one, intertwining their fingers and tucking them into his coat pocket.Kimberly stiffened and looked up at him.Samuel was tall, and she could only see his distinct, chiseled jawline from her angle.He led her to a black Bentley, gallantly opened the car door for her, and after she was seated and comfortable, he closed the door and went around to the driver's side to start the car.The car was warm and cozy. Just as she was about to buckle up and rest for a moment, she suddenly felt a warm flow in her lower abdomen.Kimberly froze on the spot, her face burning red.Samuel had gotten into the car and thrown his coat onto the back seat. Noticing her strange expression and pausing to unbutton his shirt, he asked softly, "What's wrong?"Looking at t
Such cheesy, sweet nothings, yet coming from Samuel's lips, inexplicably made Kimberly's ears heat up.Blushing, Kimberly murmured, "I'm going to sleep."Just as she got up, she was pulled back into his arms by his strong embrace, his large hand tightly clasping her soft, slender waist.He suddenly raised his hand, capturing her chin, their gazes meeting in mid-air, and she felt scorched by his intense look.The man's gaze deepened...Kimberly's eyelashes, thick and curly like crow feathers, quivered slightly, her hands tightly clutching the collar of his shirt that was unbuttoned at the top....Samuel's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.An unusual vine of emotion sprouted in the depths of his heart......Startled, Kimberly regained her composure, "I'm on my period..."Dark desire swirled in the man's black pupils.He acknowledged in a low, hoarse voice, "Hmm."Kimberly's face flushed crimson....Feeling a change, as if scorched, she struggled to sit up, avoiding his gaze, and said shy
