"Astrid Walton, get out of here now!" Mrs. Thompson commanded.

Astrid smiled mischievously. "I'm no longer Astrid Walton. It's Mrs. Astrid Thompson now, since I've taken his last name." She locked her arm in Andrew's, and they walked away together.

Mrs. Thompson was stunned, feeling embarrassed and humiliated. She had never felt such intense hatred towards anyone before. How could Andrew marry Astrid, someone from a lower social class and status?

Mira, who was watching from afar, seethed with anger. She wanted to lash out at Astrid but restrained herself, knowing Andrew would see her as a monster. She couldn't bear the thought of Astrid being Mrs. Thompson.

"Astrid Thompson" didn't sound right to Mira; "Mrs. Mira Thompson" was far more appealing.

Meanwhile, Astrid released Andrew's arm once they were inside and headed for the shower to change out of her jogging clothes.

"How was my acting?" Astrid asked, smiling.

Andrew replied coldly, "You weren't acting. Everything you said was true

  • Seducing Mr Thompson    Taking your beloved

    "Whoever has the most losses is out. Do we all know who that is?" Mr Connor's face fell as the old man spoke, "Mr Connor, please exit the game.""Don't let me repeat myself again," the man said sternly, and Mister Connor stood up. "What about my property? a... and my share... my everything?""You staked it and you lost it, so it's ours," the old man said. "But I can win it back, I'm sure...."The steward beckoned some bouncers to escort Mr Connor out of the room."How much do you have to stake?" the old man asked Astrid. Astrid smiled as she took Mr Connor's seat. "I like to start small, so how about hundred million?"The old man let out a laugh. "It's quite small but it's okay. Since you are a beginner, I'm staking my shares at the Broadview Hotel and two hundred million.""Oh, you are trying to intimidate her," one of the men said, puffing on his cigarette and laughing.As the game progressed, Astrid won the last two rounds. Her face beamed with smiles due to the amount of money she

  • Seducing Mr Thompson    Let's Gamble

    Astrid turned to look at Andrew, who was seated in a cloud of smoke, clothed in black, facing the other end of the room. He was puffing on his cigarette, the cigarette glowing like a tiny firefly in the dim light. “Andrew?” Astrid called out calmly.Andrew paused, his eyes narrowing slightly as he tried to place the voice. Could it be Astrid? he asked himself, a spark of curiosity igniting within him. But he pushed the thought away, dismissing it as impossible. Why would she be here of all places? “Andrew Thompson?” she called again, her voice a little louder this time, a little more insistent.Andrew turned to face the human who dared address him by name, his eyes scanning the room until they landed on Astrid. He froze in shock, the cigarette slipping from his fingers. He threw it to the floor and extinguished it with a swift motion, his eyes never leaving hers.Astrid let out a sarcastic laugh, the sound husky and teasing. She watched as Andrew took a shot of whiskey, the amber liq

  • Seducing Mr Thompson    New identity

    Astrid pulled up to Blue Oysters, the neon lights of the sign casting a glow over the crowded parking lot. She drummed her fingers on the steering wheel. Wondering if Andrew would show up?She grew impatient as she waited, her eyes scanning the parking lot for any sign of Andrew's car. And then, suddenly, there he was - pulling into the lot in his sleek black sedan, John riding with him as always.Astrid's heart skipped a beat as she watched Andrew step out of the car, his eyes scanning the crowd with a mixture of caution and curiosity. He didn't seem to notice her, and she breathed a sigh of relief as he disappeared into the throng of people.She took a deep breath, steeling herself for what was to come. She had to be careful - if Andrew spotted her following him, she'd blow her chances of uncovering whatever secrets he was hiding. Astrid slipped out of her car and entered into the crowd, her eyes fixed on the door Andrew had disappeared through.As she pushed her way through the pac

  • Seducing Mr Thompson    The secret

    Mrs Thompson turned to Mira, her eyes locking onto hers. "You're going to have to handle this situation with Astrid," she said. "I hope you can keep your cool and not let her get to you. If she starts a fight, finish it. I believe in you, and I want you to make me proud."Mira's expression was calm and collected, but Mrs Thompson could sense a hint of determination in her eyes. She knew she was capable of handling Astrid, capable of taming Andrew, but he also knew that Astrid was a force to be reckoned with.As Andrew continued to think about the situation, he couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration. He felt like he was losing control, and Astrid was getting further and further away from him. He knew he needed to do something, but he wasn't sure what.Mrs. Thompson's gaze swept over Andrew, her eyes lingering on him before shifting to Astrid. A faint frown creased her forehead as she pondered the situation."I still don't understand why Mira is here," Andrew said, his tone measu

  • Seducing Mr Thompson    fighting together

    As she got home, Astrid walked in boldly. Everyone, including Claudia, observed the change in her mood. She wasn't the calm Astrid anymore; she was the brave and bold and domineering Astrid. Her heels clicked on the floor, making a distinct sound as she walked. The way she gave orders made Claudia stand on her toes each time she spoke."Claudia, come prepare the bath water," Astrid said, her voice firm. "I want to take a bath." With that, she walked swiftly into her room, leaving Claudia to follow her instructions.Astrid decided to stay up all night to carry out her plan, and as expected, Andrew didn't come home at his usual time. He was always back by eleven PM, but now it was already 3:30 AM, and he was still not back. Astrid kept herself occupied while waiting, but at different intervals, Claudia would come to remind her to go to bed. Each time, Astrid would wave Claudia off, saying she was waiting for Andrew.As the minutes ticked by, Astrid's mind began to reel back to her enc

  • Seducing Mr Thompson    Who is Andrew Thompson?

    Astrid sat across from George, her eyes locked onto his. She could see the concern etched on his face, but she wasn't sure if it was genuine."George, what are you talking about?" she asked, her voice calm and measured. "What do you mean Andrew is the leader of a gang?"George leaned in, his voice dropping to a whisper. "I'm talking about the Big Dogs, Astrid. They're a notorious gang that smuggles weapons and engages in all sorts of illicit activities. And Andrew is their leader."Astrid's mind was racing. She had suspected that Andrew was involved in something shady, but she hadn't expected it to be this."Why are you telling me this, George?" she asked, her eyes narrowing. "What's in it for you?"George's expression turned serious. "I'm telling you this because I care about you, Astrid. I don't want to see you get hurt. And you're married to the leader of the Big Dogs, you're in danger."Astrid studied George's face, trying to read his motivations. Was he telling the truth, or was
