Though I was completely at home in Yvaine’s house, I couldn’t sleep.

Without Ashton’s strong, warm arms around me, I felt strangely restless. I’d grown used to his warmth, the familiar scent of him, that unique presence that was just his.

I missed him.

When I woke the next morning, my head was throbbing, but I still dragged myself to work.

‘You look terrible. Why not just rest at home? You’re the boss, after all.’ Yvaine watched me with concern.

I forced a smile and shook my head. ‘No, it’s fine.’

Work was better. Sitting around with nothing to do would just leave me brooding.

‘Alright then, I’ll come to Sugar & Whim too. It’s right across from your studio, so I’ll be nearby if you need me.’

I raised an eyebrow at her. ‘You actually remember you own a cake shop?’

It was a miracle her place was still in business, let

Genevieve is the devil. Straight up. Mira needs to talk to Ashton, not run away.

Mira's behavior doesn’t even suit her anymore — she used to be strong, now she’s turned downright pathetic

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 358 Ashton’s POV: Forced Separation

    The hospital room was quiet, the air stale with antiseptic.Looking at the phone after she’d hung up, I felt a surge of satisfaction that cut through the dull ache in my leg. It left me feeling sharper, more alert.Dominic pushed the door open and stepped inside.My smile vanished the second I saw him. ‘Well? Have you found her?’Dominic looked down, a flush of shame colouring his expression. ‘My apologies, Mr Laurent. Genevieve has… vanished. We tracked her phone to a public bin.’‘Keep looking. When you find her, I want her gone from Skyline.’ My voice was flat and cold. She was an irritant, a minor liability I should have dealt with sooner.Only a debt to her brother had made me hold back.Till now.‘Understood, sir.’While taking a hit from a woman like Genevieve was a galling blow to my pride, she was ultimately insignificant. I shifted focus, discussing L

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 357 Nightmare

    My head snapped up to look at him, and now I could see him clearly.Ashton’s face, that usually so composed and handsome face, was streaked with blood.A scream tore out of me.I was sitting up in bed, the sheets tangled around me, my back slick with cold sweat.I stared at the empty space by the bed. Sunlight was streaming through the windows. The gentle hum of the air conditioning filled the room.No blood. No Ashton.Just a dream. I pressed a hand to my racing heart, wiping my forehead with the other.‘Mrs Laurent? Is everything alright?’ A maid’s voice came from the other side of the door, followed by a soft knock.‘I’m fine,’ I managed, my voice a bit shaky. I felt clammy and unsettled. ‘Could you run a bath for me, please?’A few minutes later, I was sunk deep in the bubbling water of the massage tub. My body had stopped trembling, but my mind wouldn’t qui

    But it turned out I wasn’t reading into it at all.That was exactly what he meant, as he made perfectly clear with his next words: ‘Do it more often.’I wanted to roll my eyes again.Could I say no?Before I could even form a reply, Ashton shifted me off his lap and back onto my feet, his expression utterly matter-of-fact. ‘I know you’re eager, but whatever you have in mind will have to wait until we get home. Doing that sort of thing in the office looks unprofessional. Let’s eat first.’His words made me burn with a mix of embarrassment and anger. ‘What do you mean, eager? What exactly am I being eager for?’‘What do you think?’ Ashton raised an eyebrow, his expression loaded with meaning. ‘Last night, a certain someone complained I was too demanding. And yet, after less than three hours apart, here you are, chasing me to the office, dressed like that.’My

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 355 Not Just a Massage

    I twisted my head to glare at him. ‘What else could you possibly want? The answer is no.’Who said I wasn’t tired? I was exhausted. I was only trying to leave to save myself from another round.‘What are you thinking?’ he asked, a fake innocence in his tone. ‘I just meant, if you’re tired, let me give you a massage.’ His hands settled on my waist, his thumbs pressing in with a firm, soothing rhythm.It felt surprisingly good.I wasn’t sure I trusted him, but after a minute of him just working the knots from my muscles, I relaxed and closed my eyes. Why shouldn’t I enjoy this? I was the one who’d been worn out.I’d forgotten a fundamental rule: never trust a man’s promises.Because Ashton’s massage slowly began to change. His hands drifted from my waist, his touch shifting from therapeutic to something else entirely, sliding lower.My eyes flew open. Be

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 354 Shower Sex

    His arm snaked around my waist, and in one smooth motion, he spun me around and pulled me back against his chest. My spine pressed flush against him, and I could feel the startling heat of his skin through our clothes. It was like fire, and it quickly began to burn away my own resistance.Was it the pregnancy making me feel this horny? My body was definitely telling me it wanted him, even if my head was still fighting it.‘I’d planned on the bedroom,’ he murmured, his voice low by my ear. ‘But if you prefer the bathroom, I’m happy to accommodate you.’‘I don’t prefer it! You’re the one who likes this, don’t put that on me.’Ashton nodded, utterly serious. ‘You’re right. I do like it. We haven’t tried the bathroom before.’‘I don’t want to! Let me out.’ I started to struggle in earnest, forgetting how dangerous that could be with a man already

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 353 Silent Apology

    Ashton pulled a stunning blue crystal from his pocket and dropped it into my palm.‘It’s a powerful anaesthetic. If you’re ever in trouble, use this. One drop will put most people on the floor.’I looked at the small blue vial. It was clear and glittering, looking more like a piece of fancy jewellery than anything else.‘The case is pliable. When it’s empty, you can take it apart and put it back together as a blade.’ He pulled another empty blue bottle from his pocket.He pried the empty one apart and slotted the pieces together into a thin, transparent dagger. It was so beautiful my hand moved to touch it on instinct. But his fingers closed around my wrist before I could.‘It’s razor sharp. You’ll cut yourself.’He dragged the tip lightly across the glass coffee table, and it left a deep scratch.A cold shock went through me. Hell, that could have been my finger. I sta
