Chapter 13FUCK.I massaged the back of my neck while standing in front of the sink. I had just finished my workout. My mind kept replaying what Liza did last night at her husband’s wake. She even asked me what I had to do with his death. She suspected that our organization was involved. Liza knew about her husband's life. That was why she lost her affection for him—because he had kept his real job a secret. But she stayed silent. If she hadn't, she would have been the one lying in a casket long ago.I didn’t confirm anything. Why would I? I’m not stupid. Besides, I had left the decision to someone else. It wasn’t my call to have that thief killed.But Liza was fine with it. She no longer had any feelings for the poor guy. The moment we were alone in the kitchen last night, she kissed me—hard—her hands all over my body. In an instant, she was kneeling before me, stroking my manhood. I tried stopping her multiple times, feeling like I was betraying Sabiana, but Liza wouldn't stop. She
Chapter 12 "JUST stay here, Sabby. I’m just going to talk to Liza," Lennox said as he stood up from his seat beside me. I nodded. Why does he need to follow her when they can just talk here? Not that I care about whatever they’re going to discuss, but I am curious. He walked away and entered a brown glass door. That must be the kitchen of the funeral home. For some reason, I suddenly wanted to follow and eavesdrop. I don’t know why I’m thinking this way. Instead of sulking and crying over my current situation, I feel like gossiping. I’m curious about the life of a Montebello, especially since it turns out that his wife was my former employer. It’s baffling why they separated and why they didn’t have any children. Then, there’s this woman now clinging to him like a leech. My feet were itching to stand and follow them into that kitchen, but I held myself back. I forced my attention instead on the siblings standing beside the coffin of their deceased father to stop myself from indul
Chapter 11Lennox immediately approached the limousine parked in front of us and left his women. There weren’t just one or two—there were four of them. Among them, one stood out, a woman who seemed to be the leader, undeniably the most beautiful among the girls.Her presence was different, and so was the way she looked at me. Her eyes held a sharp, threatening glare, as if daring me to challenge her, warning me for something IIdo not know.I chose to ignore her stare and focused my attention on the door that Lennox opened."Thank you," I said to Russel, sparing him a quick glance. He nodded politely, smiled, and even gave a slight bow.I turned my eyes back to Lennox, and his gaze burned into me. It was intense, as though he could see straight into my soul. Ever since the night of the auction, it felt like he had fixated his attention on me, and the way he looked at me now only confirmed it.I blinked, trying to compose myself. Lennox Montebello’s gaze felt like it was stripping me ba
Chapter 10"ARE you sure about this, Sir?" That was Russel's question when I instructed him to pick up Sabiana from my house.I know what Russel is thinking. He's afraid that the same old nightmare might happen again, and this time to Sabiana. The nightmare I'm referring to was Henrieta."I am sure. Fetch my girl, Russel. She'll be okay," I assured him. "There's nothing for you to be worried about."He nodded before confidently turning his back to me. I stared at his retreating figure, carefully observing his steps. I feel fortunate that aside from my father, someone else in my world cares deeply for me, like a younger brother. I also understand why Russel has a hard time finding a woman to date or take seriously—it's all because of our work.Once Russel left, I returned to the work on my laptop. I couldn’t afford to leave it unfinished right now. Dad wants me to personally send these emails to our clients instead of leaving the task to the secretary. I suddenly paused, remembering w
Chapter 9I fell onto the mattress beside Sabiana, completely drained after six rounds of sex. The pullout method had worked perfectly—my semen was smeared on her buttocks, lower back, and abdomen. The bed was soaked."Is… is that really safe?" Sabiana asked, her voice uncertain as I tried to catch my breath.She was staring at the ceiling, her own breathing deep and labored."Yes," I said. "I’ve used it before with my ex-wife."Her eyes snapped to me. "Ex-wife? You were married?""EX-wife," I emphasized, making sure to stress the "ex." "We divorced more than 15 years ago. Don’t worry—you’re not my mistress," I said, glancing at her."Not that I’d have any say if I were," she replied, her tone sharp. "You bought me, so what right would I have to refuse this arrangement?""Hmn," I hummed, shrugging. "Fair point, but I’m not married to anyone now. I’m single—no one’s going to cause you trouble.""So… who was your wife? Is she still alive?""Yes. We’re still on good terms. We’re like cas
Chapter 8"BE responsive," I added right away.Sabiana nodded and turned to face me. I could tell her movements were forced, but she was trying her best to be obedient. I immediately kissed her lips, and she responded without hesitation. I was about to pull down the strap of her dress when I suddenly remembered that I didn’t have a condom.Damn. I have to stop.I leaned closer to her ear as her lips slightly parted, tilting her face upward toward me."I don’t have a condom," I whispered, barely suppressing a smile against her ear.She nodded when I looked at her face but quickly avoided my gaze. "L-Let’s just wait," she said hesitantly, but I shook my head."I can pull it out."She looked up at me again, this time with a startled expression."W-What do you mean, pull it out?" she asked, her eyes wide with genuine innocence. She wasn’t pretending; her face and the look in her eyes were entirely sincere."Lie down," I instructed her. "I’ll show you."Sabiana hesitated at first but event
