The walls of the guest room on the first floor were unable to muffle Vania’s frustration. With a rough motion, she threw her designer bag onto the unfamiliar white-sheeted bed. Her breathing was uneven as she thought about how her carefully crafted plan for tonight had fallen apart completely.

A guest room? Seriously?! Vania cursed inwardly as she clenched her fists tightly.

She had imagined herself sleeping in the same bed as Mike, holding him close, and flaunting her absolute victory in front

  • He Regretted It and Begged for a Second Chance   Chapter 23

    The dim moonlight slowly shifted away, leaving behind the remnants of desire that gradually settled alongside their breathing, which was finally returning to normal. Mike’s body slumped weakly against the side of the bed, sweat still coating his broad chest. The man shut his eyes tightly and instantly fell asleep, overwhelmed by the incredible exhaustion after the long struggle that had completely drained all his energy.Beside him, Elara remained still. She pulled the blanket up to her chest, propping her head up with one hand as she stared intently at Mike’s sleeping face. A deep sense of satisfaction crept into her chest.Just one more step, Elara thought, her fingers moving silently, hovering above her husband’s sharp jawline.A selfish hope slipped quietly behind the wounds in her heart. She hoped that after the bloodstain on the sheets proved everything, Mike would finally begin to open his heart and love her. Only that way could her revenge mission proceed perfectly. Elara want

    The gust of night wind from outside the window felt starkly contrasted with the temperature inside the master bedroom, which continued to grow hotter. Elara clutched the satin sheets tightly beneath her body, staring straight into Mike’s darkened eyes, clouded with desire. The maroon silk pajamas that had once wrapped around her body now lay discarded on the floor, leaving her bare skin pressed directly against Mike’s broad chest, which was equally unclothed.“Slowly, Mike. This is my first time,” Elara whispered in a husky voice.Her cheeks flushed red, radiating a mixture of honest fear and desire. No matter how much her pride rebelled, at this moment she was surrendering all of her defenses to the cold man above her.Mike froze for a moment, staring at Elara’s blushing face while his breathing turned ragged. His hand reached up to wipe the cold sweat from his wife’s forehead before slowly positioning himself. “I know,” Mike replied in a low voice, thick with a need he could no long

    Elara decided to close her eyes. Her body curled beneath the thick blanket, trying to silence the storm clouding her mind. Waiting for Mike to return to this room would only waste her energy for nothing. It was better for her to sleep and prepare her sanity for tomorrow’s battle.Meanwhile, downstairs, the atmosphere inside the guest room felt suffocating for Mike. The man sat at the edge of the bed with his jaw tightly clenched, while Vania continued whining sweetly beside him, clinging to his arm as if unwilling to leave even a single inch of space.Mike was tortured. His mind was nowhere inside this room. His focus remained upstairs, on the maroon silk silhouette wrapping around Elara’s body. Damn it, his body’s biological reaction still had not subsided. He was still fully hardened, throbbing and demanding release, and damn Mike for realizing that the only person he wanted at this moment was Elara. Not the woman beside him.The frustration burning inside his chest made Mike clench

    The walls of the guest room on the first floor were unable to muffle Vania’s frustration. With a rough motion, she threw her designer bag onto the unfamiliar white-sheeted bed. Her breathing was uneven as she thought about how her carefully crafted plan for tonight had fallen apart completely.A guest room? Seriously?! Vania cursed inwardly as she clenched her fists tightly.She had imagined herself sleeping in the same bed as Mike, holding him close, and flaunting her absolute victory in front of Elara the next morning. However, Mike’s cold stare outside the study earlier had shattered all of her expectations. That man could never be argued with once he used that tone of voice.Meanwhile, upstairs, Elara had just closed the fashion magazine she had been flipping through for the past thirty minutes without actually reading it. She had deliberately lingered in the second-floor sitting area, allowing bitter assumptions to burn through her mind. She was certain that at this very moment,

    The crystal chandelier in the center of the mansion cast a dim golden glow as Elara stepped inside. Silence immediately greeted her, wrapping every corner of the room in a cold atmosphere that felt painfully familiar. She glanced at the watch on her left wrist—eight o’clock at night. There was still one hour left before Mike usually set foot in this house.Elara threw herself onto the velvet sofa, resting her throbbing head against the backrest. The information Eric had given her earlier at the hospital kept replaying in her mind like a broken cassette tape.A lifesaver. A limited-edition wristwatch.A cynical laugh escaped her lips. For almost a month, she had endured this charade, lowering her pride and trying to knock on the heart of Mike Laurent, a man whose heart was apparently harder than a stone wall. And all of it had been pointless simply because of a piece of timekeeping metal stolen by her stepsister. The man still did not love her.“How could I just leave without teaching

  • He Regretted It and Begged for a Second Chance   Chapter 18

    The magnificent mansion felt strangely empty once the sound of Mike’s car engine faded into the distance. Elara stood in the master bedroom, staring at her reflection in the large mirror. Her loose house dress had been replaced with a navy blue casual blazer set that fit perfectly against her figure. She tied her long hair into a neat bun behind her head, revealing the graceful line of her neck.She let out a long breath while looking at the black work bag resting on the bed.For the past month, her routine had always been the same. The moment Mike left for Laurent Group business—or what had now expanded into Tyson Group’s giant business empire across several districts—Elara would take her own car keys. The hospital was the only place where she did not need to wear the mask of a wife begging for love. There, she was Dr. Elara Yoris, the respected chief cardiac surgeon, not a worthless shadow inside Mike Laurent’s home.Her footsteps echoed steadily as she walked through the sterile lo
