登入The smoke dissipated, and the scene before his eyes gradually became clearer.
There was a woman sitting in the bath. She had a stunningly beautiful face, with delicate eyebrows and eyes like a painting, well-defined features, and pale cherry blossom-colored lips. Her eyes seemed to be filled with countless specks of starlight, dazzlingly bright. Even Adrian, who had seen his fair share of beautiful women, was taken aback for a moment. Was this the beauty Leon and his group had sent to him? This woman was indeed beautiful, but unfortunately, he had no interest in even the most beautiful women. He stood to the side for a moment, a cold smile playing at the corners of his mouth, and said in a cold voice to the woman, "Get out of here on your own, I'll give you one minute, and disappear from my room immediately." Hearing his voice, the woman slowly lifted her head. Her eyebrows furrowing lightly, she stared at him for a moment before suddenly reaching out. Before Adrian could react, she took hold of his pant leg. Adrian's body immediately stiffened, his whole body tensing up. He thought he would vomit right away or start itching all over, but after a moment, the expected rejection reaction never happened. Adrian suffered from androphobia. He couldn't be close to any woman other than his family members. But to his surprise, he didn't reject this woman's proximity. His body didn't produce any adverse reactions. Adrian lowered his head, staring blankly at her with a stunned and surprised look in his deep, dark eyes. Before he could figure it out, the girl had already stood up from the ground, her slender arm around his neck, her delicate face lifted, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed his slightly cold thin lips under his shocked gaze. She looked at him with her wet eyes and whispered, "Help me.” The next day. When Elara woke up, she was the only one on the big bed, but there was the sound of water coming from the bathroom. She sat at the edge of the bed, clutching the quilt, her mind blank for a few seconds before all her memories returned. Thinking about everything that happened last night, her face turned pale. As she pondered, the sound of water stopped from the bathroom. Without thinking further, she endured the discomfort of her body, jumped out of the bed, quickly picked up the clothes on the floor, put them on, and quietly left. Not long after Elara left, there was a click, and the bathroom door opened. Adrian walked out of the bathroom. He was wrapped in a bath towel, with broad shoulders, sturdy and muscular chest, narrow waist, and long legs that defied the heavens. Short, wet and messy hair added a carefree touch to his look. He glanced carelessly around the room, and when he saw that the messy bed was now empty, he was stunned before his eyes darkened, and he walked to the bedside. He made a call, and soon, a lazy voice came through: "Adrian, this is surprising! You're actually calling me." Adrian ignored his teasing and said straight: "There was a woman in my room last night." A moment of silence. "Cough cough cough." The man at the other end of the phone seemed choked, coughing vigorously, "What, what did you say? Adrian, does 'stayed' mean the same as I thought? Did you guys, uh, do that?" Adrian: "Yes." "Cough cough cough..." The man coughed again, as shocked as if the sun had risen from the west, "Damn, weren't you irritated with women touching you? I remember a woman accidentally touched you once, and you washed your hands ten times." "Yes." But he wasn't at all repulsed by the woman last night. Not only was he not repulsed, but he also loved the faint fragrance on her body. He couldn't help wanting to be close to her. He made the call because he wanted to understand what was wrong with him. "You want to tell me that your problem suddenly got better?" "I don't know." Adrian was silent for a few seconds, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, "She seems different from other women. My body doesn't reject her, and I like it when she's close to me." This kind of phenomenon had never happened before. "What's more," Adrian looked down at the messy bed, and after a few seconds of silence, said gravely, "I slept for six hours last night, didn't wake up halfway through, and didn't have that nightmare again." The man on the other side was surprised, "What's going on?" Adrian squinted and rubbed his temple, his voice a little hoarse, "If I knew that, I wouldn't be calling you. I was thinking, could it be related to her?" The man replied, "The woman who took your virginity?" Adrian: "..." The man teased him for a moment, but quickly put away his playful mood and said seriously, "If you want to know if it's related to her, it's simple. You just need to see her again, right?" Adrian: "..." The man continued, "Adrian, I'm not joking. If it's really because of her, then this woman is your savior.”“I need to do something fast”.Denver thought out loud to himself. He was restless,but still couldn't come up with anything.He knew Lydia was on his neck,and if nothing is done,his secret will surface. He can't let anyone know what he's been hiding for so long.His heart was racing,he was sweating profusely even with the air conditioner. He had instructed his nurse not to let anyone come into his office for the day. “ should i seek the help of Leon cross”.He sat down on the chair right beside his table,his hand on his cheek in a deep thought. “ No, he's more dangerous than Lydia”.Just then he sprang on his feet,and left the office .He walked to the parking garage,just about entering his SUV, when his phone rang.Caller ID reads: Lydia Sterling. “ Hello”. His voice husky. “ I just fixed your shit just like I always do"Lydia said,just know that you own me. He knew what she meant. “ How did you do that,he asked her a bit skeptical,not wanting to provoke her,he regrets ge
Adrain has stormed into Leon's high tech_building,hidden beneath the city Street.The entrance disguised as a non descript door in a run down alley way, which leads to a modern door elevator that took him down to a house As the door opens Adrain stepped into a dimly lit chamber.Leon,seated on the couch, sipping a glass of scotch.His piercing blue eyes seem to bore into Adrain as he raised his glass to a silent toast on sighting him. “Welcome Adrian,I see you're still breathing, that's a good thing”. Adrain ignored the sarcasm,his eyes scanning the room as if in search of something.” I need you to leave her out of it”.Leon chuckled, a cold sound,as he set his glass down a table” if you think you can protect her,them do it”.Adrain eyes narrowed,his anger boiling over.” I'm warning you Leon,leave her out of this, she's not a part of this “.Leon shrugged.” I'm afraid, that's not possible “. His expression unchanging”I know all about her so it's easy to get to her”.Adrain face twis
She didn't understand what he was doing next to her brother."Did he followed me here?" Elara moved forward and took a closer look. She recognized him - he wasn't just the stranger she had met at Heath Group, but the same one who had abducted her at Elysian Crown Hotel.Her heart skipped a beat as their eyes met, and she felt a shiver run down her spine. He looked very sophisticated, just as he had the night they met. Elara's mind was racing with questions, and she tried to speak, but her voice caught in her throat.Jeremy was still lying there, his eyes closed, and a drip fixed on his left hand.The stranger walked towards her, his eyes never leaving hers. "I'm so sorry to intrude," he said in a low, smooth voice. "I was just in the neighborhood and saw the hospital. I remembered you and... well, here I am."It wasn't adding up for Elara. Her eyes narrowed. "What was he doing here? How did he find her? Maybe she should just call the cops?""Who are you?" she asked, trying to keep her
Adrian Vale sat at his desk, staring at the papers in front of him. But his mind was elsewhere. He was still thinking of the woman he met a few nights ago, whom he discovered was a 25-year-old marketing executive with her brother admitted to the hospital.Adrian was determined to get close to Elara, and he thought hard on how to do so. Then, an idea came to his mind.He picked up his phone and called his assistant. "Alex, I need you to do something for me.""Of course, sir. What do you need?" Alex replied."Clear my day," Adrian said and hung up.He quickly gathered his phone, laptop, and some files, then rushed out of the office. He needed to attend to something, and this was one step to getting close to Elara.As he was in a hurry, he turned a corner without noticing. It was too late when he bumped into her. "Sorry, sorry, watch your steps next time," he muttered, not even slowing down.Elara paused, taken aback by his movement and words. But instead of rushing off, she was intrigue
When the Deputy Hospital Director and a group of doctors and nurses left, Jeremy Lawrence looked around, amazed. "Elara, why have they moved me to such a nice room? Did Adrian arrange this?"Jeremy did not yet know that Elara Sterling and Victor Ashford had broken up."It wasn't him."Elara frowned in confusion, also unclear about the situation.Victor had already broken up with her, he couldn't possibly be this kind-hearted.It was even less likely for Leon Cross.This VIP ward seemed very high-end, staying here without doing anything would cost a significant amount of money.No one from the Sterling family would be willing to pay this much.Then who could it be?Who was so kind-hearted that they would help the two of them out of the blue?Elara was baffled with this thought."Knock, knock, knock!"A knock on the door suddenly interrupted her thoughts.Elara went to answer the door.Outside stood a young nurse, who smiled and said, "Ms. Elara, our Dean would like to discuss your brot
The man who walked in was wearing a pink shirt, his hair styled in trendy dirty braids, with black diamond earrings glinting under the office lights.There was clear nervousness on his strikingly handsome face. He hesitated the moment he stepped inside.He stopped about five to six meters away from Adrian Vale, standing stiffly with his head lowered and hands clasped in front of him like a student waiting to be punished.“Adrian… I was wrong. I was blinded by greed last night and did something unforgivable. Hit me, yell at me—do whatever you want—but please don’t send me back to the old man.”Adrian Vale lifted his gaze and let out a cold, silent laugh.“Leon Cross, you’ve got some nerve. What you did last night—beating you up would be letting you off easy. You deserve to die a hundred times over.”Leon Cross turned pale immediately. He rushed forward, then suddenly dropped to his knees and grabbed Adrian’s trouser leg.“Adrian, I really know I was wrong! Please, I won’t ever do it ag
