Masuk"Unbelievable! My virtuous daughter-in-law wants to become my mistress. I must be dreaming." Watching Edrick pretending to be all surprised, I wanted nothing but the ground to open up and swallow me whole. "I am truly willing to do anything you want," I desperately said. "Suck my d**k. I need to check the product before I buy it, right?" The playful expression on Edrick's face faded as he spoke with an intimidating tone. "What!" I gasped. On the day Elaira got married, she was kidnapped by her ex Edrick from whom she ran away five years ago while being pregnant and discovered that Edrick was her husband's father. On top of that, Elaira's husband tried to give her away to his father as a price for getting acknowledgement as his heir. After knowing that she was just a pawn in her husband's scheme for inheritance and becoming her father-in-law's mistress overnight who will she choose? Her treacherous husband or formidable ex who wants Elaira to give birth to his child even though she is now his daughter-in-law!

Edrick stepped forward and grabbed my chin tilting my face to meet his eyes. The pain and betrayal flashed in his eyes hit me like a blow and my heart was a mess, "Then why? Why did you steal the documents from my hidden safe and give them to him?" My thoughts scattered, spinning out of control as guilt consumed me, making my brain foggy. I could barely breathe, let alone speak, but somehow the words stumbled out, "I am... sorry." It sounded weak and meaningless, even to me. Edrick's expression twisted as if my words only fueled his rage. He chuckled bitterly, "Hah! You are sorry?" His bloodshot eyes burned into me as he snarled, "What did I even expect from you? You have always backstabbed me. You would rather go crawling back to your cheater and pathetic husband than be with me." My heart clenched with sadness. This cruel man had devasted me thr
"What the hell are you saying? Is this just another one of your pathetic attempts to turn me against Edrick?" My voice trembled from anger. "I am not lying to you. Father knew your mother was close to developing the medicine before Bennet Pharmaceuticals. He couldn't let that happen. You know exactly what kind of man he is, don’t you?" Aaron said with a serious face. I took a sharp breath, my nails digging into my palms, "Edrick may be a ruthless person but he would never stoop so low as to kill a person." Aaron exhaled sharply shaking his head, "How do you think he has kept 'Bennet Corporation' at the top position continuously for so many years? Open your eyes, Elaira. he doesn’t think twice to eliminate anyone who stands in his way." My breath hitched, "Shut up." Edrick didn’t budge a bit while tearing down his company just to drag Aaron down. It’s true that he doesn’t hesitate to take extreme measures against his enemy to gain his motive. But Edrick killing someone?
I quickly hid the folder behind the books on the shelf and grabbed a random book hurriedly. Edrick walled towards me and wrapped his arms around me from behind, "What are you reading so late at night?" "Nothing. I was just looking through your book collection. It's already dawn, I need to go back to my room. You should go freshen up," I tried to speak normally even though my heart was beating like crazy. Edrick let out a low grumble and nuzzled into my neck, "Why are you always in a hurry to leave me?" I gently pushed him away, "I am really tired these days. I have to be up early for work." "You don't need to go to the research centre today. Fashion week is coming up. You will accompany me this year. Come with me in the morning to pick a dress," Edrick said softly. I frowned, "What would I even do there?" Edrick's lips curled into a smirk, "You will watch the downfall of your husband." Fear gripped me as I realised Edrick's plan was going to be ruined because of me. Wh
I felt my heart thumping against my chest. Standing in front of Edrick, guilt washed over me at the thought of stealing the documents he had hidden away. I fidgeted with my hands and whispered, "Aaron was insisting I go back to him." I couldn’t reveal our entire conversation to Edrick. I needed Aaron's help to uncover the truth about my mother's killer. Edrick's face darkened as he stepped closer to me, his eyes burning with anger, "That bastard has got some nerve. Why didn’t you slap him across the face? Do you still love him even after he sold you to me? Elaira, I expected better from you." My chest tightened with sorrow and humiliation. Edrick and Aaron just saw me as nothing more than a cheap item, something to be used however they pleased. I swallowed the lump forming in my throat and met Edrick's gaze, "Even if you do only see me as a product, I am a human being and I refused Aaron." The rage in Edrick's eyes diminished and he looked at me softly for a moment before he
