Se connecterSvanna could feel the warm embrace of her husband's bare chest.
The doctor had indeed suggested that Nightroe's wounds—covered in rough scratches—be left open to dry faster, as she had initially thought, but she had been afraid that Nightroe would feel cold.Now, they had additional ointment that needed to be applied there."Your hair smells so good."A deep, hoarse voice whispered so close to the top of Svanna's head. She didn't try to say anything more as Nightroe drew thei“You’d better leave, Orlando. I don’t want you two fighting,” Svanna said—still holding Nightroe back. She didn’t want him to suddenly attack and cause even more chaos.Thankfully, Orlando agreed to walk away. Svanna waited a few moments until the man’s shoulders were no longer in sight, only then releasing her grip on Nightroe.“How many times do I have to tell you... don’t let him get too close to you! What were you doing just now?”Nightroe’s deep voice was laced with accusation. Svanna was certain the man had clearly seen what she’d done; she’d merely straightened Orlando’s clothes—nothing more. Besides, aside from wanting to make her husband angry, she felt a small gesture of kindness could serve as a way to thank Orlando.“I did what I was supposed to do.”Nothing was wrong, but Nightroe’s reaction was truly excessive. The man growled as he closed the remaining distance between them. It felt like… Svanna was running out of ways to breathe easily—she could s
Again. A similar request from Yohana—deliberately asking Elisabeth to pass on the message that the woman wanted to meet Nightroe—was something that really bothered Svanna.She had seen for herself how exhausted Nightroe still was after leaving the night before to attend to some personal business. Svanna didn’t know exactly what personal business Nightroe was referring to, but she couldn’t stop him; because her husband would undoubtedly ask for extra time so they could have sex longer.So, she just stood by silently watching Nightroe prepare everything he needed; one of them... the knife he had sharpened in this room—though now, Svanna literally had to call it their room.She was fairly certain Nightroe had returned so late because she’d accidentally woken up to the faint sound he’d unconsciously made. Though… she’d decided to go back to sleep, as if nothing had happened.At this point…Svanna was faced with a dilemma—whether she should follow Nightroe’s departure to find out what Yoha
“I think it’s Alina.”That’s what she said—hoping Nightroe wouldn’t overreact. Though the man still looked so angry as he stepped aside briefly.Svanna hurriedly pulled the thick blanket over her naked body while waiting for Nightroe to get ready to meet whoever was out there. It didn’t take long. He just put his pants back on, then mmediately stepped out, bare-chested.“What?”The bedroom door swung open, accompanied by Nightroe’s deep voice, which still sounded annoyed.Nothing was wrong. Svanna merely frowned when she noticed the man’s expression briefly shift—before finally returning to its usual state: cold—as if he weren’t particularly interested in anything.“Why are you here?”Still in Nightroe’s deep voice. It indirectly piqued Svanna’s curiosity. One of her eyebrows shot up. Strange. He wouldn’t have asked if it were Alina outside. She glanced briefly at the nightstand—covered with a tray holding leftover dinnerware. Nightroe could have simply b
It took a moment just to process the situation around her. Svanna knew; she didn’t like Nightroe’s lecherous behavior, but she also didn’t want his attention—right now—to be diverted to another woman. She deliberately answered Yohana’s call and let the woman hear whatever she and Nightroe were doing.“Uh… Nightroe. Yeah, over here…”Maybe Nightroe was surprised to hear her voice suddenly sound like a moan. Svanna would have handled it better if that had actually been necessary. Good thing the man didn’t try to figure out the hidden motive she had.Instead... the man eagerly stripped away the remnants of Svanna’s nightgown—along with her sheer underwear—which had been forcibly torn off. She also had to hold her breath when Nightroe suddenly positioned himself half-reclined—still needing to lean against the headboard.Now… it was her legs’ turn to be spread wide. Svanna swallowed hard, watching every one of Nightroe’s movements. The man didn’t hesitate to bring his mou
Nightroe let out a growl; whether out of anger or because he felt deeply satisfied, she couldn’t tell.However, Svanna had to close her eyes due to the impact of anticipation as Nightroe’s large hand gripped her neck. His face was truly very close....“No matter what, you will never be my widow. Especially not while I’m still alive. Understand?” he said—deliberately making their lips touch.There was a protest Svanna wanted to voice; that she hadn’t expected Nightroe to reject the idea of divorce, but before she could even make a sound, he had already crushed her lips. Occasionally giving a bite—Svanna was sure they’d swell soon. Occasionally, she tried to push against Nightroe’s chest. The man was truly making it hard for her to breathe. Thankfully, Nightroe quickly understood and managed to pull away.Svanna saw this as a golden opportunity. She hurriedly pushed Nightroe’s body away completely. Now, she was sitting on her own, still trying to keep her distance.“I want to finish my
“Thank you, Alina. Would you like to stay and have dinner with me?”Svanna’s smile remained just as wide after receiving the dinner the woman had brought. However, it faded immediately when Alina shook her head slightly and said, “I’m sorry, Ms. I can’t. Mr. Nightroe just issued a rule that I can’t stay in your room for too long, except to pack.”Nightroe was going too far. Deliberately making things more complicated. Svanna sighed, unable to force Alina to stay. She didn’t want Nightroe to do something bad to the woman—or worse… to fire her.“Alright, you can go now,” she said, placing the tray on the nightstand. Now, she’d walk Alina to the door, and she’d lock herself in from the inside.They walked side by side. Alina mentioned she’d come back to get the rest of the tableware. Yeah, Svanna agreed to that. Now she’d be alone. Tentatively pushed the bedroom door, but suddenly…Someone’s hand stopped her.She froze the moment Nightroe’s cold face appeared uninvited. Svanna really di
"What makes you think I'm telling lies?" Svanna asked back. She's pretty sure something was wrong. Something was robbing the truth between them, and it seemed that the information at the top of Nightroe's head was clouded by an odd lie."What did you expect? You think there's something wrong
"What I heard is that he's a donor to this big hospital. So, I think it's his duty to be here." Her father was still filled with positive thoughts about the man. If only Svanna had never known about Yohanna's presence in the same hospital, perhaps she too would have been bombarded with simil
The Mediterranean Sea was often an object of anticipation in Svanna's mind. The calm, the surface glistening in the sunlight, and the most impressive part, the sweep of the wind—the feeling of slapping her face was the most precious image—made her feel more at home, even though she could not igno
"Well, this is yours."For the last time, Nightroe's smile was wide. At first, all the agenda was portrayed through the way the man accepted the canvas's scribbles—they were even still talking about some small things, like when Svanna noticed where Nightroe would keep the painting. The man sh
