Masuk"Grandma, does this feel better?"
"Hmm... Very. You're so skillful and talented," Elise let out a cheerful laugh, her eyes twinkling. "Thank you for your praise," "Do you have grandparents? Sorry if I'm being bothersome or rude," Naty suddenly asked. "No, it's okay. No need to apologize. I once had them, but they passed away," Elise said truthfully. "Oh. My condolences," "It's okay. It's b"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
"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
"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
The butler passed her the papers with a reluctant look. For the past three years, Elise had sacrificed and given her best to Kayden. But what did he give her? Nothing! Not even a gift or flowers! The only beautiful gift he had given her was these divorce papers."I think I should go. I'm sorry," Je
"What is this?" Elise stared at the documents placed on her desk. The large words printed in bold seemed like an ominous sign: DIVORCE AGREEMENT."The divorce papers. Don't forget how you married into my family, Elise Thatcher," Kayden Anderson said coldly, his dark eyes seemed to be assessing her.
