Moments later, Lincoln opened the door, and Michael immediately noticed the man's disheveled appearance. His hair was mussed, his shirt wrinkled and partially untucked, and there was something in his expression that spoke of recent intimate activity.

The sight made Michael simultaneously annoyed and relieved; annoyed at the obvious interruption he was causing, but relieved that his sister seemed to be finding happiness in her marriage despite the circumstances that had brought it about.

"Michael, hey. Come in, please." Lincoln stepped aside to allow him entry, running a self-conscious hand through his messy hair.

Michael examined the man from head to toe as he entered the foyer, taking note of every detail. There was no mistaking what Lincoln had been doing with his sister; it was painfully obvious from his appearance and demeanor.

I hope Lincoln didn’t marry Scarlet to get information about her family only to expose it to get his own family in a better position because that will definitely crush her last bit of hope and happiness

    The morning sun's golden rays lit up the sleek, polished exterior of the magnificent private jet as it climbed smoothly into the vast blue sky. Below, it stretched out endlessly like an ocean full of possibilities and dreams.Dane settled in comfortably on the luxurious soft leather seats. The plane's interior was a clear display of wealth and power, with every amenity a demanding traveler could want.Chris, his essential and trusted assistant who had proven his loyalty in countless dangerous situations, joined him on this important trip. So did a carefully chosen team of highly trained men, all dedicated to protecting and serving their boss without question.They covered huge distances across continents, crossing land and sea with the focus of people on a serious mission. Finally, their luxurious jet landed gracefully at Rome's prestigious international airport, in Italy's eternal city.The journey had taken them over all sorts of stunning landscapes, from snow-capped mountains to va

  • Forced Marriage With Heartless CEO   CH.89

    Far from the sun-drenched, romantic streets of Italy where love was blooming, Dane Creighton was making his way to the country for reasons that were dark and sinister, driven by obsessions that would chill the blood of any decent person.The urgent phone call that Lincoln had received earlier gave absolutely no indication of the truly dark, malevolent intentions lurking beneath Dane's carefully constructed facade of civilized behavior.Dane and his carefully selected team of ruthless men boarded a sleek, expensive private jet under cover of darkness, their true purpose shrouded in complete secrecy and hidden from the prying eyes of law enforcement. Their arrival in Italy marked the very beginning of their sinister, carefully orchestrated plans that had been months in the making.They fully intended to recruit additional men with specific skills once they reached their destination and further bolster their numbers for the dangerous and illegal task that lay ahead of them.Dane's every

  • Forced Marriage With Heartless CEO   CH.88

    Scarlet sat gracefully across from Lincoln at their intimate table for two, her keen, observant eyes carefully studying every nuance of his expression with the attention to detail that only a woman deeply in love could possess.A smile of pure, unadulterated joy slowly spread across her beautiful face as she watched him, drinking in every detail of his handsome features. However, she couldn't help but notice with growing concern that he seemed completely lost in his own troubled thoughts, as if wrestling with some invisible demon that she couldn't see or understand.His eyebrows were deeply furrowed, giving his normally relaxed face a distinctly troubled and worried look that she'd rarely seen before, and his sharp, intelligent eyes stared off into the distance as if grappling with some complex, unseen dilemma that threatened to consume his attention entirely.Gently and with infinite care, Scarlet reached out and placed her delicate, soft hand over his larger one on the table, hoping

  • Forced Marriage With Heartless CEO   CH.87

    A deep chuckle escaped Lincoln's lips, the sound brimming with genuine contentment and the kind of happiness that comes from being truly understood and cared for by another person.The incredible warmth and beautiful simplicity of these quiet, intimate moments were something that Scarlet could clearly sense he treasured deeply, perhaps because they represented everything he'd been missing in his life before she came along.She sealed their affectionate interlude with a gentle, tender kiss placed softly on his freshly shaven cheek, breathing in the clean scent of his soap and aftershave. But before she could turn away to continue with her unpacking, Lincoln suddenly pulled her into a tight, encompassing embrace that made her feel completely safe and cherished.His strong, muscular arms encircled her protectively as his chin came to rest comfortably on her shoulder, creating a cocoon of intimacy around them."I miss you," he whispered softly against her ear, the heartfelt words carrying

  • Forced Marriage With Heartless CEO   CH.86

    Scarlet's head rested gently against Lincoln's broad shoulder as sleep gradually overtook her weary senses, lulled into peaceful slumber by the rhythmic and hypnotic hum of the plane's powerful engines. The steady vibration of the aircraft created a cocoon of tranquility around them, wrapping her in a blanket of drowsiness that she couldn't resist.It was only the gentle, melodious voice of the flight attendant that eventually stirred her from her deep slumber, causing her bleary eyes to flutter open like delicate butterfly wings greeting the morning sun.Although the private jet was impressively spacious and undeniably opulent, featuring leather seats that cost more than most people's cars and amenities that rivaled five-star hotels, it hadn't provided them with any meaningful relief from their bone-deep exhaustion.Rather than utilizing the luxurious sleeping quarters available to them, they'd simply leaned against each other throughout the long flight, seeking comfort and solace in

  • Forced Marriage With Heartless CEO   CH.85

    The warehouse was located in an industrial district that most people avoided after dark, surrounded by abandoned factories and empty lots that provided perfect cover for his illegal activities.This facility was known only to his most trusted operatives, and served as both a command center and a refuge when the pressure of his double life became too intense to bear.As he entered the warehouse through a reinforced steel door, the anger continued to gnaw at his chest like a relentless beast that could never be satisfied or appeased. The confrontation with Michael, the revelation of his true nature to his mother, the growing complications of his obsession with Scarlet...everything seemed to be spiraling beyond his ability to control or manipulate.He sank heavily into the chair behind his massive oak desk, resting his elbows on the worn wood surface and pressing his palms against his face in a desperate attempt to find some measure of inner peace. The weight of his actions and their far
