The CEO's Secret Weapon: Her Husband

"Be honest with me, you old fogey. Are you just sick of having me around because I'm getting in the way of you fooling around with that widow, Gloria Jenkins? Is that why you're sending me off to be someone's live-in son-in-law?"Dragging his suitcase behind him, Damian Luther stood at the village entrance and snapped furiously at Alden Thorne, a pervy-looking old man who came to see him off."That's nonsense! Do you think I'm that kind of guy?" Alden barked with a furious glare as he kicked Damian in the rear."I've seen how you look at that slutty sow in the village. Your eyes are always practically gleaming with lust. I'm worried you'll do something scandalous, so I'm sending you down the mountain to get married! Don't be so ungrateful."Pursing his lips, Damian said scornfully, "Who are you kidding? You eat far more than I do whenever we have pork.""Cut the crap! Your future wife's the most beautiful woman in Cloudcove. Who knows how many men are dying to be with her? If you

"You scoundrel!" David fumed as he shoved Damian aside and glared daggers at him.If it weren't for the fact that saving Eli was more important, David would've taken the time to slap Damian a couple of times for being such a disrespectful person!"I'm just saving his life," Damian protested, looking rather aggrieved.Alas, the Spencers couldn't even be bothered to pay any attention to him. David held Eli in his arms while Christine quickly fed him a fast-acting pill for his heart condition. After a short while, Eli's face finally regained some color."Dad, are you okay?" David asked concernedly after exhaling in relief."I'm fine. I just got a little too worked up," Eli said, breathing heavily. "I've had this for ages now. I know my body. Once Dr. Sutton gets here, he can prescribe something to help me with this."However, Damian's expression grew serious. The slap he gave Eli just now should've been enough to keep Eli's condition steady for at least ten more minutes. But now t

Christine was on edge. She clenched her fists tightly, taking quick, shallow breaths. She was terrified that Damian might suddenly pounce on her.But after a few minutes, the sound of steady breathing came from beside the bed.Christine was stunned. She turned her head and stole a peek. Damian was wrapped in the blanket, sound asleep. She breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt oddly frustrated.She was the most beautiful woman in Cloudcove. So many men fawned over her. Yet, Damian had fallen asleep so quickly despite sharing a room with her. That gave her a strange sense of humiliation. Did she not arouse even the slightest bit of primal urge in him?"What a heartless jerk," she muttered, too angered to sleep.…Early the next morning, when Eli woke up, he got Christine and Damian to wake up as well and urged them to get their marriage registered. In spite of her reluctance, Christine had no choice but to drive Damian to the city hall and get their marriage cer

Kane was overwhelmed with excitement. He quickly turned around and shouted at the dozens of men behind him, "You fools! Can't you see the Shadow Sigil? Why aren't you on your knees to greet our young leader?"Everyone behind him turned pale with fear and immediately dropped to their knees in front of Damian."Greetings, sir!"Damian's mind was spinning. How the hell did he become their young leader? Just how powerful of a background did Alden have?"You can stand as we talk," Damian said as he helped Kane to his feet.Tears were streaming down Kane's face as he looked at Damian. His voice choked with emotion. "I've waited for this day for 20 years, sir! I finally got to see you today! This isn't the right place for us to talk. Please get in the car, sir. Let's go home."Kane respectfully escorted Damian into the car and brought him into Mistfall Estate. As soon as they entered the estate, Damian was stunned.The place was huge! It was bigger than his entire village. The building

Damian told Kane where he was, and not long after, a black Rolls-Royce pulled up."Sorry to keep you waiting, sir," Kane said as he hurriedly got out and opened the car door for Damian.Once Damian was seated, Kane closed the door and got in himself. The car started moving slowly. The driver, a burly middle-aged man, looked at Damian through the rearview mirror.He was visibly excited as he said, "I used to drive Mr. Thorne when he was here. It is truly an honor for me to drive you today, sir!"Kane, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, quickly made the introductions. "Sir, this is Fergus Egan. He was still a young man when he worked as Mr. Thorne's driver two decades ago. Now, he's the kingpin of Cloudcove's criminal underworld. "When he heard that the dinner party tonight is in your honor, he pleaded for the opportunity to drive you himself. Luxora Hotel belongs to him as well.""I appreciate it," Damian said with a smile, though his eyes glinted sharply.He sensed a
