MasukEDWARDThe car stopped in front of the main entrance of the mansion. I stepped out without waiting for the driver to open the door. My steps felt heavier than usual—not from exhaustion, but from the lingering irritation that had followed me from the office.The flash drive had to be found. Without it, work at the office would be delayed.I had just entered the lobby when the sound of another car came from the direction of the gate. I paused. Through the still-open gap in the gate, I saw it clearly.Elena was getting out of Cedric’s car.Her hair, which had still been half-wet that morning, was now dry. She was holding several shopping bags, while Cedric stepped out from the driver’s side and said something to her. Elena gave a small nod, as if answering, then walked in through the gate.I stood still in the doorway, watching the two of them without expression.Cedric hadn’t noticed me yet. He remained standing beside his car, one hand resting on the roof as he watched Elena approach.
EDWARDI stared at the laptop screen on my desk without really reading any of it. The report that should have been finished an hour ago was still open, but my mind wasn’t on the work.Something had been bothering me since morning.It wasn’t about the job. It wasn’t about the meeting scheduled for later that afternoon. It was a vague, lingering feeling that had settled in ever since I woke up and noticed Elena was quieter than usual. I exhaled slowly and leaned back in my chair.My thoughts drifted back to the night before.***I had closed the refrigerator door quietly. The cold water still lingered in my throat, enough to ease the sudden thirst that had woken me in the middle of the night. The house felt too quiet. Only the hum of the air conditioner and the ticking of the wall clock filled the silence.I climbed the stairs to the second floor at an unhurried pace, my mind still occupied with the reports that needed to be finished by morning. Then my steps came to a halt.Elena’s bed
CEDRICI turned and walked toward the dining room. The maid was crouched on the floor, her hands trembling as she gathered the broken pieces of the tray. The moment she sensed my presence, her entire body went rigid. Her eyes widened for a second before she quickly lowered her gaze.She had clearly seen something earlier.I crouched beside her and calmly picked up a few shards of glass.“Be careful. You’ll cut yourself,” I said lightly. “Mrs. Elena got something in her eye earlier. I was just helping her in the hallway for a moment.”The maid glanced up slightly, her face pale. She understood. The explanation was too neat, too quick, and far too deliberate. It wasn’t a real excuse—it was a code.Pretend you saw nothing.I reached out and gently held her wrist, just long enough to stop her from moving. She panicked instantly, her eyes snapping up to meet mine with clear fear.I only offered a faint smile, then raised my index finger to my lips. A simple gesture.Stay quiet.She swallow
CEDRICThe moment the bedroom door clicked shut, my eyes snapped open. The steady breathing of sleep turned heavy in an instant. I exhaled a long, slow breath and dragged a hand down my face.It was still hard to believe. I had just had sex with Elena—my own brother’s wife. The image of her body was burned into my mind. The way she bit her lip. The soft, broken moans when she called my name. The heat of her as I came inside her.I sat on the edge of the bed and stared at my own hands. These hands should never have touched her like that. And yet, after everything that happened… all I wanted was to do it again.I lay back down and stared into the darkness. But Elena refused to leave my thoughts. Her body slick in the bathtub. The way her hips trembled beneath me. The hoarse sound of my name on her lips.My cock hardened instantly. I cursed under my breath.Fuck. What’s wrong with me?“Cedric, I think your brain’s broken,” I muttered to myself. I grabbed the pillow beside me and pressed
ELENACedric didn’t give me any pause.The moment I spread my legs wider as he asked, he thrust back into me in one deep stroke. I moaned weakly, my body still far too sensitive after the previous climax. But Cedric didn’t seem to care. He moved with a steady, deep rhythm, as if determined to drain whatever strength I had left.I could only cling to his arms, soft broken moans escaping every time he pushed deeper. The longer it went on, the weaker my movements became. My legs trembled uncontrollably, and I felt like I was going to break beneath him.“Cedric… I… can’t take anymore…” I whispered hoarsely.He leaned down and kissed my temple, but his hips never stopped moving.“Just a little longer,” he murmured near my ear. “I’m close…”Cedric quickened his pace. Every thrust felt deep and heavy, as if he was trying to bury himself as far inside me as possible. I was exhausted, yet my body responded again. The pleasure that had started to fade surged back quickly.“Cedric… ahh… I’m… aga
ELENA“Can I… take you in my mouth too?”The question made Cedric freeze. His eyes widened slightly, as if he hadn’t expected me to say that. He swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing.A few seconds of silence passed. I remained sitting on the bed, waiting, my fingers still holding the sash of his robe.Finally, Cedric nodded slowly.I let out a soft breath, then with movements that were still a little awkward and innocent, I untied the robe. The fabric fell open, revealing his cock—already rock hard and standing stiffly in front of me. I swallowed. The size and heat of it made my cheeks burn even hotter.Hesitantly, I reached for him. My fingers touched the hot length, then I leaned down.I opened my mouth and took the tip between my lips with a still clumsy, innocent motion. My tongue brushed against the warm surface, and I heard Cedric growl low above my head.“Elena…” His voice was extremely rough.I didn’t answer. I only tried to take him deeper, even though I was still inexper
ELENAThe next morning, the Ashford mansion felt far livelier than usual.Several maids moved back and forth through the dining room, placing dishes one after another onto the long table. The rich aroma of food filled the air, yet somehow it only made my stomach turn again.I took a slow breath bef
ELENAI wasn’t sure if I had truly woken up or if part of me was still trapped in the night I desperately wanted to forget.All I knew was that my body felt unfamiliar the moment I opened my eyes. When I turned my head, Cedric was sleeping soundly beside me. For a few seconds, I could only stare at
ELENAIt was already six in the evening when I finally returned from the hospital.The moment I stepped into the bedroom, the first thing I saw was that dress. I picked it up slowly. The fabric was thin and light, revealing far more skin than I was ever comfortable showing.Edward hadn’t only given
ELENAI didn’t sleep at all that night.After leaving Edward’s study, I sat motionless at the edge of the bed. It was already two in the morning, yet his words still echoed relentlessly inside my head.Divorce me… or sleep with another man to give me an heir.I squeezed my eyes shut.The cruel part
