로그인The sunlight broke through the gaps in the curtains that were not tightly closed, illuminating dust particles dancing in the room's air, which still held the thick scent of lovemaking. Camelia groaned softly as her consciousness began to return. The first thing she felt was a heavy weight on her waist—Calvin's firm arm still wrapped protectively there.However, as soon as Camelia tried to shift her legs, an extraordinary pain radiated from the lower part of her body."Ow..." Camelia whimpered softly, her teeth clenching to endure the stinging pain.She felt as if her entire body had just been hit by a container truck. Her inner thigh muscles felt stiff and trembling, while her sensitive area felt hot, throbbing, and very sore. It felt as though there were abrasions being stung every time her skin rubbed against the silk sheets.Camelia tried to sit up slowly, but the pain made her sit back down weakly. She glanced at Calvin, who was still sleeping soundly with a
21++The moonlight entering through the gaps in the curtains cast a silver hue on their sweat-drenched skin. The cool night air on the balcony earlier seemed to have only served as new fuel for the fire blazing inside the room. There were no signs of fatigue on Calvin's face; instead, the man looked increasingly energetic, as if every second he had spent in a coma had now mutated into an endless supply of masculine energy.Calvin guided Camelia toward the teak dressing table located in the corner of the room. With a swift yet gentle movement, he lifted Camelia's body and sat her on the cold surface of the table. Bottles of perfume and cosmetics shifted, creating a subtle clinking of glass amidst the silence of the night."Calvin, the table..." Camelia tried to protest, but her voice instead sounded like a seductive whisper."Ignore the table, Camelia. Focus on me," Calvin interrupted in a low, commanding tone.He stood between Camelia’s wide-open legs, letti
21+++Camelia's breath hitched, her chest rising and falling rapidly along with a heartbeat that was still hammering wildly. Her body felt weak, as if every bone in her body had melted onto the now-disarrayed sheets. Sweat soaked her forehead and neck, giving a subtle glow under the dim bedroom lights. However, even though her muscles protested in exhaustion, there was a hungry spark in her eyes that could not be hidden.Calvin withdrew slowly, running his hand through his wet hair as he gazed at his wife with a vision still darkened by passion. He could see how Camelia bit her lower lip, a code he understood very well."Weak, hm?" Calvin teased in a raspy baritone voice. He crawled closer, kissing Camelia's exposed shoulder.Camelia chuckled softly, her voice sounding parched. "Honestly, I am very weak. But... for some reason, I feel like these two years won't be enough to be repaid with just one or two rounds."Calvin smirked, a naughty expression Camelia hadn't seen in a long time.
21++The night grew deeper as the black sedan pulled up to the apartment lobby. A silent atmosphere greeted them as soon as the elevator doors closed, leaving Camelia and Calvin in a narrow space that suddenly felt hot. The children had been intentionally left at Mira’s house; an unwritten agreement understood by everyone that this couple needed time together—truly together—after two hollow years.Once the apartment door was opened and locked behind them, Calvin wasted no more time. He cornered Camelia against the door leaf, embracing her waist protectively as if the outside world were still trying to snatch her away."Calvin, wait—" Camelia's words were cut short as his lips landed on her forehead, long and lingering with pressure.Calvin moved to kiss both of her eyes, down to the bridge of her nose, then kissed both of her cheeks thoroughly. Every touch felt like a profound declaration of ownership. Camelia could feel Calvin's racing breath, contrasting with her own trembling finge
Chapter 155Camelia still had not fully let go of Calvin’s hand even as they walked back into the ballroom. Her fingers kept gripping the man’s arm tightly, as if she was afraid he would suddenly disappear the moment she let her guard down. The music was still playing softly throughout the room, and the guests had gone back to chatting as usual, but some people had already started noticing Calvin standing beside Camelia.And within seconds, the atmosphere immediately turned noisy.“...Wait.”“That’s Calvin Ashford?”“Wasn’t he in a coma?”Whispers began spreading across different corners of the ballroom.Camelia turned to look at Calvin again just to make sure she was not dreaming. But the man simply looked relaxed while adjusting the cuff of his white suit.“You’re really alive, right?” Camelia asked softly.Calvin glanced at his wife with the corner of his lips lifting slightly. “If I wasn’t alive, then who kissed you earlier?”Camelia immediately pinched his waist lightly.“Ow,” Ca
Chapter 154Camelia was still standing stiffly on the ballroom balcony, her breathing uneven. Her lips still felt warm after that sudden kiss, while the masked man in front of her looked relaxed as if he had not just nearly stopped her heart.For several seconds, Camelia could only stare at him with wide eyes full of disbelief.Then her emotions exploded instantly.“You’re seriously unbelievable!” she snapped as she shoved his chest hard.The masked man stepped back half a step, but a soft chuckle escaped his lips instead.Camelia grew even more irritated.“I already told you I have a husband!”“I know.”“Then why do you keep bothering me?!”The man tilted his head slightly. “Because I’m serious.”Camelia clicked her tongue in frustration. “I don’t care!”“But I’m handsome.”Camelia stared at him in disbelief after hearing that. “Not funny.”The man still stood calmly in front of her while holding the bouquet of white roses.“You really won’t give me a chance?”Camelia laughed sarcast
Chapter 47That afternoon, Calvin’s hospital room felt quiet. Mira had just gone home for a while, while Samantha went out to buy something. For the first time since being hospitalized, Calvin was truly alone.He leaned against the bed while playing with his phone.Work notifications kept coming in
Chapter 33The ballroom lights were still bright when Juna returned to stand beside Camelia. Soft music flowed, the guests’ conversations blending into one. Camelia tried to appear calm, even though her heart had yet to steady itself.Juna glanced sideways, then his gaze stopped at Camelia’s neck.
Chapter 35The taxi stopped in front of the apartment that Camelia knew all too well. The building lights were still on, just like six years ago. Only her feelings were different.“We’ve arrived,” Camelia said softly.Calvin did not respond. His head drooped, his heavy body leaning against her. The
Chapter 29The car stopped in the yard of the large house. Camelia stared at the building, which felt unfamiliar, yet not entirely so. Six years was not a short time. Still, the memories tied to this place remained too vivid.“We’ve arrived,” Mrs. Vera said softly.Camelia nodded. Her hands tremble
