Se connecter"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!

Just die today, you worthless piece of shit," Edrick fumed in rage as he grabbed Aaron's tie, twisted it around his neck, pulling him forward with brutal force. Aaron staggered and choked for air as Edrick tightened his hold. Edrick's bloodshot eyes sent a shiver down my spine, my heart hammering wildly against my ribs. His frenzied gaze terrified me, and every instinct screamed at me to run. When he lunged forward again, I reacted without thinking and stepped between him and Aaron. His fist was already swinging. Then our eyes locked and he froze. His hand slowly curled into a fist, knuckles turning white as he fought to control himself, "While I have been holding myself back going crazy inside watching you cozy up to him just because you told me to trust you and you repay me by sleeping with this bastard behind my back." I urgently tried to explain myself, "I
Elaira's POV "Don’t make me laugh. Edrick has been running the company for years and is the one who has brought it to its current standing. Looks like stealing others' things and boasting about them is a habit of yours, just like you did with my mother's company," I scoffed, but managed to put on a gentle smile on my face to fool the people eagerly watching. Aaron's face flushed as he jerked my hand away, "I only crushed all the bugs on my way to the top. Don’t whine just because you were too weak to stand against me. Count yourself lucky, after you cheated on me with my father, I am still generous enough to let you stay as my wife, even though you have been nothing but a nuisance until now. So play the role of the perfect wife I tell you to, and I will let you enjoy a luxurious life." As he stepped towards the stage, I grabbed his arm and pulled him into a hug. The crowd erupted in cheers. "As expected of a newlywed couple." "My gosh! They can't bear to separate from e
I looked up at Edrick with fear in my eyes, my voice shaking, "After what he did to me, I would never get back with him. Never." 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 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 A
Elaira's POV "You have to pay for this bitch," Aaron shot me a murderous gaze, his face contorted with rage as he started crawling towards the door hissing in pain. Edrick stepped forward and looked down on Aaron as if he were something pitiful, "You look no better than a dog. Then again, a dog
Elaira's POV "Come in," Edrick permitted with a sinister grin on his face as he pulled me onto his lap tightening his grip around my waist and crushed his mouth against mine ignoring my desperate attempts to push him away. "Father, about the meeting..," my heart almost leapt out of my chest as o
Edrick's POV "Mr Edrick Bennet, were you too busy fucking your daughter-in-law that you were not even opening the door?" Aaron hissed. This bastard is surely going to die by my hands today. I have gone very easy on him so far. He dares to barge into my room at midnight and interrupt my sweet tim
