Bryan's gaze was still fixed on his wife, who had no expression. Cold as if without feeling. He wondered where the nagging Shienna was, who always made his ears burn when they had only been married for less than a month.Meanwhile, another man was tugging at the corner of his lips, giving him a cynical and triumphant grin. How could Bryan concentrate on the business at hand when there were so many questions crowding his head?"Shienna!""Mr. Sanders, come on. We're going to discuss business. Don't mix it with personal matters," the man said in a tone that sounded discordant to Bryan's ears. The woman sitting next to him, meanwhile, was still staring at Bryan intently but expressionlessly."I'm mixing our business with personal matters because my wife is between us. If you want me to focus on this matter, then let her go home.""Hoho... it can't be that, Mr. Sanders. She is the bridge in this business.""So it's true; you've kidnapped her, Jun!""Ssh... don't yell, Bryan. You'll attrac
Shienna looked deeply into Jun's eyes. She had no idea that was what he wanted. She knew he had a crush on her for a long time, but taking his best friend's wife didn't seem to be in his character.There had to be something he was planning, and it was definitely to destroy Bryan. It could be that he had Bryan's ace in the hole and was so bold as to make an offer that Shienna never expected.Shienna burst out laughing and pushed Jun's chest away from her."I never expected you to be so melancholy, Jun. You must not mean what you say, right?" Shienna looked at her beautifully manicured nails, then refocused on the man before her. "Don't joke with me, Jun. I don't like it.""You still think what I'm saying is a joke? As you always did in the past." Jun snapped in annoyance. "Do you do that to Bryan, too? Has he ever told you that he loves you?"Did Bryan ever say that? Shienna couldn't remember the last time Bryan had said that either, but one thing was for sure, she didn't need it becau
Bryan can't forgive what Shienna has done to him. He had never once slept with any of the women he called to the penthouse, but why would Shienna betray him?He had already downed three glasses of whiskey. But he still didn't want to go home. Despite having everything, Bryan felt lonely in the penthouse by himself. Since Shienna came into his life, everything had changed. At least there was someone he would meet when he got home, not like now.However, constantly remembering Shienna would only hurt his heart. What was she up to now? What made Shienna choose Jun when she used to have so much antipathy towards him?Those kinds of things constantly filled Bryan's head. It made him unable to concentrate. He didn't want to give up and let Jun have Shienna."Sir, you're already too drunk. Come on, I'll take you home," said someone watching from a distance.Bryan swatted away the hand of the man about to help him up from the barstool and pushed him away. "Stay out of this, Ed! What are you d
"Bryan!" Shienna rushed over to Bryan lying on the ground, while Jun, who had not expected his men to take such a rash action, only flinched. "Bryan, wake up! Please open your eyes."Shienna froze momentarily, then turned to Jun and approached the man. Shienna delivered a slap that landed squarely on Jun's left cheek."Are you out of your mind!? What if he dies, Jun?!""I didn't do anything. Besides, if the bastard dies, we have no barrier, Ashira. You don't have to do anything to be free of him. I already know the contents of the contract letter you signed from him. You will never be able to escape it.""But not this way, Jun! I can do it my way."Shienna didn't wait for Jun's reply but headed straight for Bryan, who was still lying weak. Edward was calling for an ambulance to take Bryan, but Shienna was impatient with the long wait.She rushed over to Jake, who was frozen to the spot, too shocked to see what had happened to his master. Shienna snatched the car keys from Jake's hand
Shienna's body slumped to the floor, weak and boneless. Jun didn't push her and unleash his desires on her. But still, the man had done something against Shienna's will. She couldn't contain the anger building up at Jun's treatment of her. However, Jun immediately crouched down and grabbed Shienna into his arms. "I'm sorry, Ashira. I shouldn't have done this to you," he said, causing Shienna to freeze and wonder what kind of person she was dealing with. Shienna didn't resist when Jun helped her up, carried her, and laid her on the bed. Shienna didn't want to put up a fight, as she didn't want to become another target of Jun's madness. She wanted to check on Bryan's condition, so she had to play pretty to escape a crazy man like Jun. Jun then got up after kissing Shienna's hand, looked over briefly to ensure that Shienna would be fine without him, and then walked away without saying a word. Meanwhile, Shienna, who was already too weak after almost experiencing the horrible things J
Some of the bodyguards would not let the man take Shienna away before examining him with the unfamiliar appearance. Shienna wasn't suspicious, but she felt overwhelmed and racked her brains for a way to keep the man who claimed to be Jun's man from escorting her. "I don't need an escort because I'm an adult, and I won't go home late at night," Shienna said with a forced smile. Meanwhile, the other man ignored Shienna's words but instead examined the stranger and stared at him for a while. "Next time, you should shave your beard before you start work! It's so distracting!" said the man with a more extensive body than the others. "Go! Keep Miss Ashira company and return before Mr. Hashimoto gets home!" The man bowed in greeting, then motioned for Shienna to walk first. They didn't end up using one of Jun's cars, but rather another, and it was easy to do so as it didn't arouse suspicion from the others. Shienna sat in the back seat while the bodyguard man sat beside the driver. They
Bryan is still in his office, thinking about what happened a few hours ago at the police station. It was nothing serious, as this wasn't the first time he had dealt with Jun. However, what bothered him the most was the police statement that the fingerprints on the glass belonged only to Shienna."Based on the results of the examination, there were no stimulants in the drink that your wife drank," the police officer said when Bryan was there. Bryan frowned at the statement that came out of the mouth of the man in the black uniform with the emblem attached."Then how could my wife have behaved in such a strange manner if there was no stimulant in the orange juice she consumed?"The officer shrugged. "You might never have touched and satisfied her, so she used that method to attract your attention. We know Ms. Shienna Miller's reputation. She changes partners a lot, and your marriage to her is only because you're responsible for something you never did."BRAKK!"What do you mean by that?"
"W-what are you doing?" Shienna couldn't express everything that was going through her head. It was so messy that she wanted to dissect and clean her brain. What Bryan had just done to her had left her speechless.Meanwhile, Bryan, who had calmly unlinked their lips, was about to speak, but there were too many things he couldn't express."Since when did you think of doing this, huh?" Shienna asked, which Bryan couldn't answer quickly. He needed a long string of words to explain. However, after glancing at his watch, he got up, grabbed his coat, and prepared to leave. "Where are you going?"Bryan turned around to find Shienna standing behind him. He took her face in one hand and stroked it briefly."I can't explain anything right now. I wanna stay longer, but I have to go," he muttered after a long sentence.Bryan walked away, not caring if Shienna followed him to the door; it no longer mattered. He was now racing against time to get to the office before the other employees or even befo
