Laura Miller Williams problems come all at once. Her boyfriend cheated on her, her father's company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and she risked losing the Miller Estate. Now, she was about to marry a man she only knew by name - Draco Atlas Smith, the owner of the Smith Group of Companies. It was a marriage of convenience; she and Draco would marry to save her family's assets, especially the beloved Miller Estate. And when Laura saw the man she was to marry, her heart almost stopped. Draco Atlas Smith was tall, fair-complexioned, well-built, and gorgeously handsome. The man's sex appeal was simply overflowing. His piercing stare sent chills, a trait that earned him the formidable reputation as the Cold Billionaire. Draco and Laura got married in a simple ceremony. But it wasn't until she became Mrs. Smith that she discovered the real reason he'd married her. It wasn't just about helping her; he'd used her to exact revenge on her father, who had wronged him.
View MoreLaura"N-no." That was Laura's response to what Draco wanted to happen to her. He indeed gave her a choice, but the option she needed to choose would still benefit him. Whichever of the two she chose, the outcome would be the same. She would still have to strip.Draco took another step closer to her. She could feel the warmth of his body as their bodies touched. "Your answer isn't among the choices, Laura," Draco said to her in a full, resonant voice. "Now, I'll ask you again." Laura wanted to blink when his warm breath hit her face as he spoke, but he restrained himself. "Strip or I will strip you naked. I give you five seconds to choose. If you don't answer, I'll decide for you."Her mouth opened and closed. She didn't know what to answer Draco. "One." He started counting. "Two." But still, no answer came out of her lips. "Three, four." She swallowed repeatedly as she met the weight of his gaze. "Five." Draco finished counting. "I told you, I'll decide for you if you don't answer,
Laura"It's so breezy here."Laura turned to look at Jake when she heard his comment as he approached her while she was enjoying the breeze in the garden. She actually wanted to avoid him, as Draco had specifically instructed her earlier to keep her distance.But what could she do if he was the one approaching her? It wasn’t like she could just shoo him away.She even noticed the smile playing on his lips at that moment. And as she looked at him, she couldn’t help but compare the two cousins. Yes, they were both handsome. They even seemed to be the same height. The only difference was that Jake smiled a lot and always looked cheerful, while Draco always looked like he was born out of bitterness. His face always carried a serious expression, and his brows were constantly furrowed.Maybe when God was spreading bitterness into the world, Draco was standing right outside and caught all of it.And at that thought, she couldn’t help the smile that formed on her lips. Just then, Jake glanced
Laura"Miss Laura?"Laura and Aine immediately stopped chatting when a familiar voice called her name.They both instinctively looked up toward the direction of the door leading to the kitchen. And there she saw Jake—Draco’s guest.She couldn’t quite believe that the man she once saved from drowning was actually Draco’s cousin.She and Margarette had gone on vacation year before. She was surfing when she saw a man drowning. The moment she saw him, she didn’t even think twice before swimming toward him to help. She even performed CPR to bring him back to consciousness. The man was truly lucky that day, because it was Margarette she had asked to go surfing with her. The beach had been deserted that early in the morning. If she hadn’t seen him, he most likely wouldn’t be alive today—his family would have been mourning him by now.And such a waste it would have been too, because, honestly speaking, the man was quite good-looking. He was tall, fair-skinned, and gorgeously handsome. He was
Draco"Where's the document I am asking you?"Draco's brows were furrowed as he asked his secretary over the phone. He had sent her a text earlier, asking her to email him the document he needed. But two hours had already passed, and he still hadn't received any email from her.“Sir? W-what document?” she asked nervously—he could hear the tremble in her voice.“Did you read my message to you?”She didn’t answer right away. And from her silence, he already knew she hadn’t read his message.“Did you ignore my text message to you?” he asked seriously.“I’m sorry, Sir. I-I didn’t notice your message ri—”“Next time, check your phone from time to time,” he cut her off. “I want you to send the document to me as soon as possible,” he added coldly.“Alright—”He didn’t wait for her response and ended the call. He stepped closer to his study table and sat down in his swivel chair.He checked his email on his laptop to see if his secretary had already complied with his request. It didn’t take l
LauraLaura couldn’t stop her face from flushing when she heard Draco whisper to her.Why did he have to bring that up again?She kept her gaze lowered. She didn’t want to look up, afraid he’d see the blush on her cheeks. But it seemed there was nothing she could hide from Draco, because he lifted her chin so their eyes could meet. And when they did, she clearly saw the corner of his lips curve into a smirk, confirming he had seen her blushing.Is he also amused by her embarrassment?“I’m asking you—did you sleep well or not?” he asked in his deep baritone voice when she didn’t respond.Her mouth opened and closed. She didn’t know what to say to him. Was she supposed to admit she didn’t sleep well because she was left… hanging when he fell asleep on her last night? Of course not. There was no way she’d admit that!“O-of course. I slept well,” she lied, even though the truth was she had barely slept. Laura even wanted to scold herself for stuttering when she answered.She noticed Draco
"FUCK!"That was the curse that escaped Draco's lips when he woke up the next morning, feeling a throbbing pain in his temple. His eyes were still closed as he raised a hand to massage the aching spot.He stayed in that position for a few moments before slowly sitting up from the bed.But then he suddenly froze when his eyes landed on the bedside table. There, he saw a glass of water and a hangover pill sitting on top of it.He also saw a post-it note stuck to the glass. He took it and read it."Drink this."Draco didn’t need to guess who wrote it or who placed it there.He knew it was from Laura. But what he couldn’t understand was why she would leave him medicine for his hangover.Why did she still care, despite the way he treated her? Had she forgotten his plan? Had she not realized that he was there for revenge against her father? That he was using her?"I’m not the kind of person who finds joy in others’ misfortune.Draco tsked when he remembered her saying that. That was the dif
