LOGINWhen they arrived at an upscale restaurant, Aidan stepped out of the car first. A staff member promptly opened the door for Malikha, and as soon as she stepped down, Aidan approached her and took her hand without hesitation.
“We need to look like a close, happy couple inside,” he murmured under his breath. “Put on your happiest face… with me.”
Malikha said nothing. She looked at him for a moment before allowing him to guide her inside, her hand res
Here is the continuation in immersive English prose with natural dialogue, stronger emotions, and a smooth novel style.Outside the bedroom, Eva and Jessica exchanged anxious glances as the loud pounding echoed through the mansion's hallway. Each desperate knock seemed to strike directly against their consciences.The woman trapped inside was their mistress.And the man who had locked her inside was her own husband.“What should we do, Eva?” Jessica whispered nervously. “We can’t just leave Madam in there.”Eva clutched the key tightly in her trembling hand.“There’s nothing we can do,” she replied quietly. “We can only wait for Mr. Aidan to come back.”Jessica rubbed her hands together anxiously.“Madam Malikha will hate us if she finds out we helped lock her inside. Maybe we should open the door.”Eva immediately shook her head.“No. Do you want Mr. Aidan to become angry?”“Then what are we supposed to do?”Eva fell silent.For several seconds, she listened to the sounds coming from
Aidan continued to press soft kisses against Malikha's face as she stirred gently within his embrace. The morning sunlight had already begun filtering through the curtains, yet neither of them seemed willing to acknowledge the passing hours. Aidan was already dressed neatly in his dark suit, his tie perfectly arranged, but he could not bring himself to leave. He did not mind if his clothes became slightly wrinkled from constantly leaning over to kiss the woman sleeping in his arms.To him, Malikha looked like a beautiful doll he could never stop admiring.“I have to go...” Malikha murmured, her eyes still closed as a faint sigh escaped her lips.“Where?” Aidan whispered against her cheek, his lips continuing to brush her soft skin.“I have... court today,” she mumbled again, her voice becoming softer and softer as sleep continued to pull her back.Aidan smiled. He gently rubbed the tip of his nose against her cheek, enjoying the warmth of her skin.“Then let me go instead. You should
THREE HOURS EARLIERJust as Bruce had planned, he had been gradually getting closer to Malikha. Tonight, he intended to invite the beautiful woman to dinner after they finished their work for the day. Wearing his usual gentle smile, Bruce held open the door of the fast-food restaurant where they had agreed to have dinner together.“Are you sure you only want to have dinner at McDonald’s?” Bruce asked as they joined the line to place their orders.Malikha smiled softly.“I don’t need an expensive dinner. This is more than enough. Besides, I’m treating you tonight, Mr. Caldwell.”“That’s all right. Let me pay.”She immediately shook her head.“No. Please let me pay this time. You’ve treated me to meals so many times already. There’s nothing wrong with an employee buying dinner for her boss once in a while.”Her gentle voice made Bruce smile even wider.“All right.”At last, Malikha had an opportunity to thank Bruce by treating him to a simple dinner. The atmosphere between them became c
For the members of The Seven Wolves, Aidan, Mars, and Bryan were practically triplets. They looked alike, behaved alike, and often covered for one another whenever one of them made a mistake. Among the group, everyone knew that if one of them got into trouble, the other two would never be far behind.Aidan finally rose from the stool beside James and moved toward the couch where Mars had once again immersed himself in defeating Bryan in their game of Uno Stack.He sat down lazily beside them, stretching his legs onto the coffee table that had become their battlefield. With a bottle of beer in his hand, he watched the two men who remained completely absorbed in pulling and stacking the colorful blocks.Bryan glanced at him and immediately frowned.“What’s with your face? You look like you just lost all your money gambling.”“Nothing.”“Don’t bother him,” Mars said with a grin. “He’s lovesick.”Aidan clicked his tongue.“Just wait until you have problems with Vanylla. Don’t come looking
"Aish... Babydoll, wait! Darling, please... Malikha, listen to me first!"Aidan hurried after her, trying to stop her before she disappeared down the street. He quickened his pace and finally managed to grab her arm.The moment his fingers touched her, Malikha violently shook him off."Please don't go," Aidan pleaded, his voice beginning to crack with desperation. "I only did that for you, Babydoll."He had been chasing after her for days now, and every single time she rejected him."I don't need your help," Malikha shot back.Her tone was sharp, but her voice remained low.The tears she had been holding back were beginning to blur her vision once again.Aidan shook his head and instinctively stepped closer.Malikha immediately stepped away.The distance between them felt unbearable."Malikha... Babydoll..." His voice softened. "Please listen to me first, Darling."When she continued walking, Aidan moved in front of her and blocked her path."What else do you want, Aidan?" she asked ti
The afternoon was bright and beautiful, but Malikha chose to spend it in her room after Aidan’s visit earlier that day. Whatever desire she had to go outside and enjoy the arrival of spring had completely vanished.Flowers were blooming everywhere, and the trees were finally beginning to turn green again. The fresh, crisp air was a welcome change after the long winter months. It was the kind of weather that tempted people to go for walks, sit in parks, and soak up the sunshine.Yet Malikha had no interest in any of it. She preferred to stay curled up on her bed. One day of disturbance wasn't enough. Almost every day after that, Aidan continued to bother her relentlessly.Whenever knocks echoed from the front door of her apartment, Malikha would immediately grab a pillow and bury her face beneath it in frustration. She didn't even need to check who it was anymore.It had to be Aidan. Her soon-to-be ex-husband refused to give up. He would do anything
Ever since meeting Aidan and living under the same roof as him, Malikha had grown accustomed to existing in two completely different worlds — one real, the other painfully fake.The real world only existed when it was just the two of them alone inside the apartment. In that world, Ai
The next morning, Aidan cut their trip short and rushed their return to New York, even though they were supposed to stay for two more days. He barely spoke a word. He didn’t explain why they were leaving early, nor did he mention anything about ending their honeymoon ahead of schedule. Mean
The mission to escape the estate had failed, and Malikha returned to the villa with Aidan once again. Eugene had already ordered all the guards to stand down after they found her. Throughout the entire journey back, neither Aidan nor Malikha spoke a single word.Aidan’s hand continuo
The grayish-white shadow streaked with black fur lunged from the left just as Aidan sprinted forward and leaped over a fallen tree. The beast was thrown violently to the ground after a bullet from Aidan’s gun struck it before its paws could even touch the earth. Aidan quickly regained his footing,
