LOGINElise stepped on a pebble and lost her balance. A hand snaked around her waist before she could hit the road. "Thank you, handsome," Elise patted his cheek, flirting with him. He noticed that her cheeks were flushed and she seemed lightheaded. Her steps weren't steady either. Was she drunk? "Elise, come here!" As he led her to the pavement, he noticed many men stealing glances at her. He could dump her here, but it was dangerous. It was not that he cared. He just didn't want people looking at his ex-wife. What a ridiculous dress! Where did she think she was going, wearing a dress like this? The thought of her dressing up for Ellison or some other man made Kayden disgusted. He dragged her to the car and stuffed her into the back seat, ignoring her protests. "Who are you?" she asked, her tone cold. But she looked at him like a frightened little rabbit. "Can't recognize me?" To his surprise, this version of Elise was more interesting than the previous housewife version. "How a
Kayden brought Jessica to the hospital under the Anderson Group. When Jessica saw the hospital's sign, she tensed up. She tugged gently on his arm to get his attention while acting meek. "Kayde, let's go to another hospital," Jessica said. "Why?" he asked. "I just...," Jessica schooled her expression, hoping he didn't catch the signs in her eyes. "It's just that I've been going to that doctor for checkups. He has the records and files of my health there. So it makes things easier if we visit him," Jessica said. It made sense. Kayden didn't think much of it. He drove them to another hospital under the Paige Group, Jessica's family. He brought her to Dr. Paul, Jessica's doctor. Jessica and Paul walked into the room while Kayden waited outside. Many minutes later, Paul came out with the report in hand. "Good news. The baby is okay. Miss Paige only suffered from a sprained ankle as a result of being pushed. But she's okay. You're lucky she didn't fall too hard. It would have caused
"What are you going to do? Don't forget who helped you when you were drugged. Is this how you repay favors?" She glared at him coldly."That's a different thing," he said coldly. "Then you should take responsibility for kissing me and tearing my dress. It's a different thing too, isn't it?" Elise said loudly.Kissing?! Tearing her dress?! Jessica's eyes bulged with anger as she looked between Kayden and Elise.No way! Don't tell her that they did..."I will. How much do you want? I'll compensate you?" Kayden scoffed.Elise rolled her eyes. As expected of him, thinking that money can solve everything."Do you think money is the problem here, Mr. Anderson? How did your parents teach you?""Don't insult my parents, Elise. Isn't money what you want?"Who in this world wouldn't want money? Money was power and it commands the world. Isn't that why Elise was going with the King brothers?Elise chuckled at him."Why are you laughing?" He didn't like it when he couldn't understand what she wa
Elise called the receptionist to deliver over a hundred ice packs. The receptionist, still thinking that they were a couple, thought that they were playing some kind of kinky game.After two hours in the tub with the ice packs, Elise helped him out and nearly dragged him to the bed.The drug had exhausted his strength. Kayden lay on the bed, his eyes closed as sleep swallowed him. She pulled the blanket over him and sighed, wiping the sweat from her forehead."Damn. Why am I so unlucky?"Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Elise went to answer it.It must be the receptionist with the drink I ordered, she thought.The moment the door opened, Elise came face to face with Jessica. She looked behind Elise and saw Kayden on the bed, asleep.Her face fell and she couldn't control her expression."Why is Kayden in your room, Elise? What did you do to him?" The gentle tone was gone from Jessica's voice.Elise remembered every nasty thing Jessica had done to her. The threats and taunts vi
His 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
"Elise!" Kayden roared, but he couldn't do anything. At that moment, the honking of a car disrupted them. Elise's eyes glimmered when she saw the beautiful red sports car. The man sitting in it stylishly removed his sunglasses and smiled at her. "Donovan!" Elise hugged him, leaning forward over
"I'm not interested in your attention. I despise it," Elise said. "Really? Liar," Kayden scoffed. "So, you like it when women cower at your feet? Mr. Anderson, do you think you're on top of the world?" Elise laughed. This woman was always mocking, taunting, or laughing at him. Was this another
"What?! Where do I have such money? You're my brother; you're supposed to do something! You have more money than me!" "I'm your brother, but I'm not your cleaner, and I'm not in charge of cleaning up every mess you make!" Kayden snapped. "Don't forget. The man's crippled for life. He lost his job
It was not because she was shedding tears for the victim but because of what Kayden said about their relationship earlier. She had to go. She didn't want to lose her control in front of him.Kayden was speechless. She had become eloquent and not only that, she had also said the truth.Before he cou
