Lance entered Roxanne's apartment with the password that Iris sent him.
He was planning to give Roxanne some punishment in his car but this woman really fell asleep while they were kissing.
Carrying her towards the first bedroom that seemed like hers, Lance sighed as he placed her down on her bed and tucked her underneath her duvet.
He was about to step away when he felt Roxanne’s fingers curl around the hem of his shirt. She stirred in her sleep almost as if she was having a nightmare, muttering incoherent words in the process.
Lance glanced down at her tiny yet slender fingers and tried prying her fingers off but failed on the first try. Just when he attempted a second try, a silent sob broke through her lips, startling him in the process.
“Don't leave me alone... Mom, Dad.”
His heart suddenly softened to hear her murmuring. He gently hugged her in his arms as he comforted her, "Don't be afraid. You have me here."
His eyes lately fall on the family photo on her bed table and beside it, there was a bottle of wish sand, which brought some annoying memory back to him.
His eyes narrowed but when he was about to leave and calm himself down, Roxanne suddenly vomited all over his shirt.
“Fucking hell,” Lance grunted out in annoyance while Roxanne quietly went back to bed, unaware of her actions.
Lance glanced at her and his jaws tightened. Exhaling through his lips as he unlatched Roxanne’s finger from around his shirt, he walked towards her bathroom.
After everything he had done for her this night, the least she could offer him was a hot shower before he left.
Sooner or later she must have to pay for all these things she had done to him.
** ** ** **
Roxanne woke up sometime in the night feeling sticky and sweaty. Hearing the shower run in her bathroom, she believed it was Iris who sent her home.
She stripped from her stuffy clothes in her hazy state of mind and without any form of cautiousness, walked into the bathroom.
The hot water from the shower descended on her body almost instantly when she pulled the door open. Yet Roxanne just closed her eyes and moaned out in relief, unaware of the person who had been watching her from behind.
With his hands on his hips and body wash foam plastered all over his body, Lance quietly watched Roxanne. The storm was gathering in his eyes.
Even though it wasn’t the first time he had seen her fully nude, he still found his stare lingering and her body. Easily aroused his desire.
"Ah!!" A surprised yelp escaped her throat when she turned around to reach for her body wash. Finally, she noticed his presence as
“Hello sunshine, sleep well?”
Roxanne stared on with wide eyes and became half sober at once.
“How… what are you doing here?” She questioned with her cheeks flushed cherry as she quickly tried to cover her body up.
“No need in trying to cover it up, I’ve seen all that there is.” He teased with his eyes locked directly on hers.
Roxanne felt her cheeks heat up all the more and quickly averted her gaze. “You need to leave. Now.”
However, when she began heading for the door and out of the shower, she was caught simultaneously by Lance.
“Is this the thanks I get after all I’ve done?”
Cracking her head up, Roxanne felt like she was being dragged into his game once more the moment she locked her gaze with him.
“You’d get your ‘much-deserved thanks’ but right now, you need to leave.”
“And what if I say I don’t want to?” Lance asked as he held her tightly in his arms.
“Lance…” She called out in a warning tone but he ignored it and pressed her against the cold walls while the hot water poured down on their bodies.
“That’s enough, Lance. This has to stop.” Roxanne tried to remain firm but the moment his fingers danced along her skin, she felt her mind blur for a few seconds.
Why did he always have such a damn effect on her?
A single touch was enough to send her mind into Havana.
“You want me to leave, but your body says otherwise. So tell me, Roxanne. Do you really want me to leave?” While trailing his finger up her tights, Lance whispered in her ear and watched as she shivered from the sound of his voice.
“Words Roxy, I need words.” He coaxed on and ran his finger against her exposed nipples
Roxanne shivered from the sudden jolt of pleasure and felt her mind sway all the more.
“See? You got so wet for me down there in seconds despite telling me to leave. What a naughty girl.” Lance coarse as he pumped both his fingers into Roxanne’s pussy and she moaned out in utter pleasure before she could stop herself.
Another wave of pleasure hit Roxanne hard as he inserted yet another finger and sped up his pace, pumping his fingers in and out of her at a mad pace that made her sense blur completely as her eyes slowly began to roll toward the back of her head.
“That’s it, sunshine. Moan out and remember you are mine.”
** ** ** **
Roxanne never expected that her one-night stand with Lance would turn out to be two nights and then three nights.
She hoped there won't be more, or things would get more and more out of her control.
She sighed as she finished her work and at that moment, Christopher's message popped out.
「I'll pick you up to have lunch together, babe.」
She couldn't help but sneer. Christopher was really a born actor. She had no mood to cooperate with him to play this love game. As long as she transferred her money and resource back, she would dump him at once.
Having no expectation to see his disturbing face anymore, Roxanne was going to make up a random excuse to reject him but Christopher seemed insistent.
By the time they met at the restaurant, she understood his intention at once as he pulled out the medicine soup.
"Mother did these medicinal cuisines specially for you. She was awfully worried that you left early from the party that day."
Worried? If Grace truly that cared about her, she should have called her to confirm her safety that night so that she wouldn't catching her son cheating on her and made the mistake with Lance again.
As she thought, Christopher had screwed the lid open and one whiff of scent had her face contorting in dislike.
She knew what they were planning. If she could have a baby with Christopher, they thought their marriage would be foolproof.
Too naive. Even if she really carried his baby, she would still kick him off as long as she found out Christopher was just a rotten man.
"...babe?" Roxanne flinched when Christopher called her while holding her hands. Geeze, she was getting more and more sick of his touch.
"Sorry, what were you saying? I was thinking about my new design." Roxanne faked a smile as she pulled her hand out.
"I asked if you would like to try the cuisine? Should I plate it?"
"Uh, sure." Roxanne blurted but soon regretted when she had the soup within her grasp. She hated this scent.
Pretending to check the new message from her phone, she excused to leave early. "Sorry, Chris. I have to go now as we just got a meeting on the fly."
She bowed apologetically as she got up and left the table. With that, she noticed the bag beside her seat.
"Oh, here is the jacket you asked me to bring this morning." She said as she handed the bag to him. "I should go now. Bye~"
Christopher had expected her to at least give him a kiss on the cheek as she stepped out, but she didn't. It wasn't the first sign of indifference she had shown him as of late.
There must be something wrong, but Christopher couldn't find the answer at a moment.
But when he later arrived at home, dipping his fingers inside his coat pocket to check, he was stunned to see the thing he pulled out.
A freshly used Condom!
Christopher could feel anger burning in his chest as he realized the truth.
Roxanne had sex last night but it was not with him.
She was cheating behind him with another man!
Roxanne sat by the window of her favorite cafe wrapped from head to toe in seasonal clothing befitting winter. Her hair was pulled into a ponytail while her fringe hung on the side of her face, she wore a brown and white beanie while a black scarf was wrapped around her neck. Her outfit consisted of black jeans and a beige winter sweater along with a pair of white boots to complete her look. She had ordered a hot chocolate along with a pastry and was sipping on the drink when her phone rang.She looked down to see that it was Colton and she quickly answered the call, placing her cup down on the table. "Hey, Col, where are you?""In front of the cafe." The voice from the other end of the phone responded and Roxanne looked outside to see her friend waving. She smiled and waved back."Alright, I'm coming out." She said and got up, throwing her cup into the bin before grabbing her bag and walking out of the cafe.The winter was getting harsher and harsher with each passing day but she had
"You are absolutely pathetic, Penelope Cube." She said and glanced over to the crowd before returning her gaze to Penelope. "You're absolutely pathetic." She repeated in a much louder voice, making sure everyone in the room could hear. "All this while I had my eyes on you, waiting to see how far you'd sink before you drown." Roxanne smirked. "But you're the one that ended up drowning yourself, it's you that lost the game and now, you're going to have to pay for it."Immediately after Roxanne's words, Claude emerged from the crowd ready to defend his daughter. But Lance was faster.He rushed forward and blocked Claude before he could get closer to Roxanne. "Don't you dare?" He sneered.Claude stopped short in his spot and looked around from Roxanne who was standing her ground and looking unfazed to Penelope, his daughter who was drenched from head to toe in wine and then to Lance who was shooting daggers at him through his eyes. He didn't like the look that the young lad was giving him
The rest of the party went by peacefully, that is until Henry clinged his glass, drawing the attention of everyone in the room as he announced that he had something to say. In that moment, Lance and Roxanne glanced at each other, remembering how Henry said he was going to announce Lance as the new CEO tomorrow and step down from the Company."Can I please have your attention?" Henry said with a smile on his face as he stepped forward from his place where he had been standing with Frank and took to stand at the center, while everyone watched in anticipation."I know this might be quite sudden but I want to thank everyone here today for being a part of welcoming back my father from the hospital, it means more to me than any one could ever imagine." Henry said and glanced at Frank who nodded his head in agreement and looked back towards the crowd with a smile on his face."It's been an honor and a pleasure to meet all of you, whether you be the regular guests or some of the close family
After looking at herself one last time in the mirror, She decided that her outfit was okay as well as every other thing on her."You ready?" Roxanne asked when she finished dressing up and found Lance standing in the living room in his black suit."Yep." He answered and extended his hand for her to take, which she did, giving him a smile of confidence."Let's go." She said, and the couple exited the penthouse, locking the door and taking the elevator to the ground floor and stepping out into the bright sun of the morning.The city had woken up early that day, and the streets were already packed with people going on with their daily business, having no idea about what was to happen later that day.The couple strolled towards the parking lot, hand in hand. Roxanne took a deep breath before entering the car. She buckled up and strapped the seatbelt while Lance slipped into the driver's seat and started the engine."How nervous are you?" He asked once he pulled out of the parking lot and
Henry went stiff and his gaze momentarily flew to where Roxanne was seated beside Lance, finding her eyes glued on him before he looked away."I..." He hesitated. "I did so because I wanted to protect Roxanne."His answer left both Roxanne and Lance stunned and confused."Protect Roxanne?" Lance asked."Protect me?" Roxanne asked."Yes." Henry nodded. "At the time which your parents had died and their case was being handled, Claude had been proven guilty In many ways and as a result asked to pay compensation worth thirty five billion to the victims daughter, Roxanne, or spend the rest of his life in jail. So Claude taught that if Roxanne wasn't around then he could pass under the charges. He was planning on harming her in other to walk Scott free and I couldn't allow that, so I bribed the judge to drop the case to make sure that Roxanne remained safe."Lance's eyes narrowed in on his father and he frowned deeply. "You mean, that monster that killed Roxanne' parents had actually attemp
Lance and Roxanne spent a few more hours in Rosalie's place, talking things over and planning for the party the next day. By the time they had finished, the sky was already darkening and Lance and Roxanne feeling tired. They bade Rosalie goodbye and began the journey back to Lance's penthouse which was now virtually like Roxanne's place too."So, you and me, huh?" Lance asked playfully once they were in the car on the drives back home.Roxanne who had her head leaned against the window chuckled. "Don't even push your Luck, Laurent." She teased, earning a hum of disapproval from him."Why not, you're already my girlfriend, I don't see any harm in making you my finacee.""True, but it'll be awkward to explain this to everyone since we only just found out that you and I are apparently engaged since childbirth, but without a doubt, it'd be funny seeing Penelope's face when she learns of this." Roxanne pointed out with a chuckle which faded almost instantly as she said. "Funny and pitiful.
