LOGINHis eyes were abnormally red and he was sweating. He pinned her to the wall, his hot breath caressing her cheeks. Her face became red as she gazed into his wild eyes.The way he was looking at her was just like that night. Wild and untamed, like a beast."What the hell are you doing, Kayden? Are you drunk again?!" Elise glared at him. She pushed at his chest but it was no use. He was like an iron wall, making no attempt to budge. Her hands touched his skin and her eyes flew wide open."Why are you so hot?!""Elise, I... I feel hot," with that, he latched his lips onto her neck, biting and kissing roughly."Kayden! Shit! You've been drugged!" Elise let out a hoarse cry as he nibbled on her sensitive spot, her collarbone.She had seen situations like this back when she was overseas, working with a team of doctors."Stop it, Kayden!" Elise had to stun him with the taser in her ring.But it didn't have much effect on him. Kayden staggered backwards but his pupils were dilated. He advanced
At that moment, the car arrived. Mr. and Mrs. Paige walked behind them. Kayden broke the kiss, tugging at his necktie. He started to feel uncomfortable. He frowned slightly, feeling dizzy."We'll call a cab. You two can ride together," Mrs. Paige quickly suggested eagerly. She didn't want to interrupt the plan they had come up with after hours of brainstorming."Okay," Jessica said sweetly before Kayden could say something. Actually, he wanted to return to his office and review documents. But since Jessica was already in his car, he went along with it.In the backseat, Jessica sat very close to him. Kayden clenched the fabric of his pants, the heat pricking his skin. He wanted to undress but Jessica was here and it would seem rude.Sweat rolled down his back. Despite the air-conditioning, he only felt hotter and hotter as if he was sitting in a volcano."Kayden, are you alright? Why are you sweating so much? Let me wipe your sweat for you," Jessica took a handkerchief and dabbed at hi
"Maria! What kind of behavior is that? We don't speak rudely to guests. Moreover, she's your grandma's goddaughter. Apologize to Elise now," Michael slapped the table. He didn't approve of such behavior as he had always raised his children to be polite and respectful. "Fine. Alright," Maria readily stood up and walked around to where Elise sat. Elise eyed her with slight surprise. Maria, who disliked apologizing and admitting mistakes, was suddenly eager to apologize to her? That was unlike her. "I'm sorry, Elise. Will you forgive me? If you don't believe I'm sincere like last time, I'll apologize with a gift. Please accept it," Maria offered a red box with both hands. "Oh, look how sweet Maria is!" Amanda exclaimed, backing up her daughter's acting. Elise caught a faint whiff of something in it and her skin started to feel itchy. "What's in the box?" "It's premium seafood. I heard that Elise liked seafood so I specifically prepared this for her," Maria grinned slyly. Knowing
There was a knock on the banquet doors and a woman walked in with a middle-aged man and woman. It was Jessica. "Sorry. Am I interrupting something?" Jessica asked in a gentle and soft voice. She looked meek and docile. Kayden got up, taking Jessica's hand in his and leading them to the table. Naty's face turned strict when she saw them. "Why are they here?" Naty questioned. She gazed at Jessica and her parents with clear disdain and contempt. "Guards, throw them out," Jessica's eyes flashed with fear. No. She couldn't get thrown out like this. She'll be humiliated. Mrs. Paige sensed that the ties between Jessica and Naty were tight. She stepped forward and attempted to smooth things over, but Kayden beat her to it. "I called them over. I have something to announce," Kayden said, his words carrying an unspeakable authority. Naty shot him a questioning and fierce look as if she already knew what he was going to say. "Jessica is pregnant. I'm marrying her two months from now,"
At that time, Jessica purposely moaned extra loud to get Elise's attention. She wanted to show off how good Kayden made her feel. Back when Elise was still obsessed with Kayden, she never dared to retort when the Andersons humiliated her because she didn't want to make things hard for Kayden. She understood the Anderson family's relationship with each other. She also knew what kind of situation Kayden was in. Hence, she considered everything for Kayden and tolerated every bite and bullet they fired at her. But now, they were divorced. Elise wasn't going to play nice with them anymore. Their faces twisted in rage upon Elise's words. Sophie's face contorted with rage and she looked like she wanted to bite Elise. Molly quickly stepped in to smooth things over. She was older than Sophie, who was in her late twenties. "Elise, don't blame Sophie for speaking her mind just now. As you know, when you were married to Kayden, you didn't make any contribution to the family. Aside from doing
"Hello, Uncle Josh, Aunt Sophie," Kayden shook their hands with more force than necessary. "Where's your wife? How come I don't see Elise around?" Josh asked, looking behind Kayden. During family gatherings like this, Kayden's relatives wouldn't hesitate to put Elise in her place and make fun of her. However, Kayden was oblivious to it because he didn't really attend the family gatherings. "We're divorced," Kayden casually said. "Oh, divorced? Why? The two of you were perfect together," Josh wouldn't hesitate to jab at Kayden. He took delight in seeing Kayden in jeopardy. He enjoyed poking fun at Kayden's useless and pathetic housewife, often bullying Elise. "My true love is Jessica. I'm going to marry her," he told his uncle coldly, glaring at him. "I see. Then where is Jessica? There's going to be a dance party. You need a partner to dance with," Josh said. He nearly stammered but caught himself in time. "That's not necessary. Uncle, you spent hours learning how to lose mone
"Wait," Elise was busying herself in the hotel, inspecting the rooms and kitchen, when she heard a familiar voice call out to her. She turned and saw that Kayden was striding towards her, a scowl on his face as if the whole world owed him money. "What
All the eyes of the staff fell on Elise. Ava looked around but didn't see anything or anyone looking like a manager. Until she noticed that all the staff were looking in one direction.Elise? She was the manager?! How was that possible?"You? The manager? Can you even manage a h
He ran the photo of Donovan through one of his newly developed apps that hasn't been released to the public yet. Numerous faces slid across the screen while he observed Elise and Donovan. The two were laughing and touching each other intimately. Elise's hand was on his shoulder and arm. Then she p
Jackson got out of his car and ran towards the bar. He found the woman dancing with the two men. He turned her around. However, he was staring at a different face. This wasn't Elise. It was an older woman who had the same figure as Elise from behind. "Who are you? What do you want?
