A chilling silence reclaimed the drawing room of the Thorne residence. Julian’s cutting words instantly froze the raging torrent of anger boiling inside Richard and Beatrice.

Beatrice’s hand, clutching the ceramic vase, slowly dropped back to her side. At the same time, Richard hauled back his step, his jaw locked hard against the sudden shock of the confrontation.

Hearing the commotion down below, Victoria, who had been lurking near the base of the staircase, scrambled

  • The In-Law Mistress   Chapter 107

    "You!" Elena protested, thoroughly annoyed by how Julian always leveraged her missteps to exact his sweet "punishments."Julian merely offered a faint smile before settling down beside his lover.Now that the tension and the exhausting, sweet punishment had passed, the atmosphere inside the private jet's cabin was entirely transformed.The constant, low hum of the engines accompanied their flight through the clouds, carrying them back to the capital.Julian, a CEO known to the public as cold, arrogant, and utterly untouchable, now rested his head on Elena’s shoulder.The broad-shouldered man wrapped both arms snugly around her waist, nuzzling his face into the crook of her neck like a giant cat starved for affection.Elena chuckled softly, running her fingers thread by thread through Julian’s wavy black hair. A familiar warmth flowed gently between them."Piccola," the man called in a raspy murmur, looking up at her from the side."Hmm?""I was insanely jealous today," he confessed wi

    The cool air conditioning inside the private jet’s cabin seemed to evaporate, instantly replaced by a wave of searing heat that set the atmosphere ablaze.Julian ignored Elena’s plea. The raw desire, the suffocating jealousy accumulated since morning, and the aching longing he had held back all day exploded entirely.His strong fingers moved nimbly and without compromise, trailing over every inch of the smooth skin he had craved so desperately.As his hand slid behind her waist and began pulling down the zipper of her skirt, Elena gathered whatever strength she had left.Flushed and breathing heavily in sheer panic, she shoved Julian’s shoulders with all her might."Julian, stop! I'm on my period!" she snapped loudly, her voice cutting through the hum of the jet's engines.Julian’s hands froze instantly. He went completely still.The intoxicating lust dominating his face suddenly faltered. His eyes widened slightly as he stared into her tear-rimmed gaze.A heavy silence enveloped the

    Leon swallowed hard, understanding all too well where his possessive boss was heading with this.Everyone knew the CEO had been nursing a lethal cocktail of burning longing and explosive rage since morning."Understood, sir. I will ensure the main cabin remains entirely private for you and Miss Elena."Leon could only shake his head, imagining what his boss was about to do inside the isolated luxury cabin.Julian stepped out of the aircraft door, descending the stairs with a firm, commanding stride. In his hand, he held an elegant bouquet of fresh red roses.Despite his violent outburst earlier that morning, he still intended to welcome his woman like a queen.The SUV ground to a halt right beside the jet’s stairs. Julian strode forward himself, grabbed the door handle, and pulled it wide open."Good afternoon, Piccola," Julian greeted in a soft, smooth cadence, flashing a captivatingly warm smile.However, Elena did not step out of the vehicle. She remained rooted in the backseat, ar

    Elena’s eyes widened in sheer horror. Panic seized her, desperate to keep him from doing something reckless."Don't!" she cried out, completely oblivious to the curious stares of the surrounding crowd in the middle of the village square."I'm begging you, don't do something crazy!"On the other end of the line, Julian’s icy silence felt increasingly paralyzing. "I am not joking, Elly. You have only two choices.""Julian, please just listen to me first—""Listen very carefully, Piccola," Julian interrupted, his voice terrifyingly calm yet dripping with absolute authority."Option one: I land my private jet at your local airport in under an hour, drive straight to your village, drag you back home, and level that bastard to the ground."Elena swallowed hard, her throat painfully dry. "Julian ....""Or option two," Julian continued without a pause."You get into my escorts' car right now, head back to your grandmother's house to pack your things, and go straight to the airport.”“You come

  • The In-Law Mistress   Chapter 103

    Elena faltered for a fraction of a second, the sweet taste of the traditional cake turning heavy on her tongue.The warmth in her chest cooled instantly as reality dealt her a sharp wake-up call.Inviting her over to his family's grand house was no longer a casual visit between childhood playmates.She knew the standing of the Village Chief’s family, and she wasn't completely blind to the subtle, expectant glint in Ryan's eyes."Oh, thank you so much for the offer, Ryan, but I don't think I can," Elena replied gently, offering an apologetic smile as she wiped her fingertips with a napkin."I promised Grandma I would be home before lunch to help her prepare our meal. Besides, I don't want to intrude on your family.""It's no intrusion at all, El! My mother specifically asked me to bring you over," Ryan insisted smoothly, taking a step closer, completely unfazed by her refusal."She even prepared your favorite dishes. My father is expecting us, too. They’d be thrilled if you came."Elen

    Leon fidgeted nervously, his anxiety mounting as Julian remained fixated on his phone, oblivious to the fact that he was now the sole center of attention in the room."M-Mr. Vance?" Leon whispered tremulously from behind his back. "May we dismiss the meeting now?""Shut up!" Julian growled in a hushed, lethal tone without looking away. His irritation flared violently as burning jealousy and raw fury reached a boiling point in his chest.His fingers flew across the screen, typing with frantic impatience.Julian: Elena! If you do not reply or call me back within three minutes, I will have my men drag that bastard out of your village this
