She gasped when she saw the familiar man from the garden sitting at their table, and he is more handsome up close.
His stares made her heart melt, his beautiful eyes catching her eyes whenever she tried to look at the other side.
“Can’t get your tongue, babe?” he said huskily, his bedroom voice making her knees tremble.
It was deep and very masculine, his voice suits the way he looked.
“I was looking at you but a young man seemed to guard you," he was referring to Hank.
“What are you doing here?” she asked him bravely, but her voice was shaking, why did he approach her now? She felt really nervous.
He crossed his arm on his chest, and once again, he's looking intently at her face, as if memorizing every detail of it.
His dark eyes went to her lips, down to her chest that showed a hint of her cleavage, as if wanting to smell her scent. She blushed when he chuckled.
“I just want to know the name of a woman who was snooping around earlier, and found me in a very compromising situation," he said arrogantly.
"The woman who ran away when I caught her, I hope you enjoyed the scene of seeing a man screwing a woman behind," his words are so vulgar, he was directly saying those words without any inhibitions.
“You pervert! I don’t care what kind of position you f*** up that sl*t."
She is so pissed with this man, and no one will stop her from saying those words.
She felt like she was able to break the man's neck!
This arrogant beast pushes her to the limits, she was very patient, but this man was so rude.
She is Rhianna Sullivan! She may not have grown up in a very wealthy family as many of the guests in this party, but she will definitely not allow these people to insult her.
His face darkened after hearing those words from her, and now his eyes released a small fire, as if he didn’t like what he just heard, he moved closer to her, and his lips almost touched her lips.
She was trembling, and fear started to build up in her chest, but her annoyance added to her feelings.
She feels his breath fanning against her face when he talks.
“Such a brave woman, but you’re no match compared to me," he hissed.
"And I’m sure no one will stop me if I carry you like a sack and bring you to my bed,” he told her, gritting his teeth, while holding her chin and lifting it up.
“I’m sure they won’t get notice if you disappear at this party."
He grabbed her arm, but not too tight. She wonders why his simple gestures brought tingling sensations to her being, it gives her a sudden heat that she can't name for now.
“Let go of me, or I’ll scream," she said.
There’s a warning in her voice.
She will really scream if this bast*rd will keep on harassing her.
Though she was a bit afraid of what he might do to her, she managed to fight his heavy stares. He releases her arm, and she sees Hank coming.
"What is going on here, sweetheart?” he’s asking her but his eyes darted to the man. His voice sounds dangerous too.
“Back off, young man," the arrogant man said, in his more dangerous tone.
Hank might be tall and his body is well toned at the age of twenty four, but this man is bigger both in height and body build.
His muscles are more toned and defined, based on how he flexed his neck.
She saw protruded veins on his hands, he looked stronger.
“I know who you are,” Hank said. “You are not just a shark when it comes to business, but your name as Wolfe also suits you," he said directly.
And with just a blink of an eye, the man punches Hank, who dragged him to the next table.
Hank also throws punches and he is able to hit him, but the other man is bigger and stronger.
People are running in different directions, while some are screaming.
Some guests intervened and the two men stopped.
Hank’s nose was bleeding, while the other man also got bruises and concussions on his forehead.
Hank grabbed her arm, pulling her next to his body possessively, she was almost catching her breath while he was holding her.
“Don’t you dare touch her again," he warned him.
But the man shrugged his shoulders saying: "try me," and then winked at her.
"You said I am both shark and wolf," he said with a contempt in his voice.
"Well then, I’ll show you how to be a shark and wolf combined."
His gaze went to her, and after a few seconds of staring at her, he left.
Her whole body was trembling, she was so afraid, especially when she saw the men exchanging hard punches.
It was her first time seeing Hank become violent.
The man was gone and the guests were looking at them, judgement was in their eyes.
She just looked down to avoid their judging looks, she felt really embarrassed and really ashamed.
She even saw Hilary, but she was so shy to approach her after ruining their party.
She guided Hank while walking out of that event.
Oh yeah! This is life!
Nathan opens his medicine cabinet, and gets the medicines for his bruises. That young man was strong, but he will make him pay for what he did.
And that beautiful woman, he didn’t think that she was brave and so forward. Nobody dares to talk to him like she did.
He admits that she really caught his attention. He was actually staring at her for almost half an hour.
She never dances and she just sips her drinks occasionally. He didn’t notice that she drank any wine or any alcoholic drinks.
He was content watching her head move, and her lips moved. She even wrinkles her nose that makes her more cute and beautiful.
And when he saw her bend to massage her ankle, he noticed that she is not comfortable in wearing high heels, that’s why she didn’t dance. He decided to approach and get her name.
But her reactions made him want to deepen their conversation, and because he was lost for words, he just mentioned about the making out he did.
But it was a wrong move, because she was furious.
He took a deep sigh, he might need a private investigator to find her.
He’s on his bed while typing on his laptop, when he instantly remembered where and when he saw her. Yes! That’s her! he thought. He could not be mistaken, it's really her!
He smiled at the thought of her, he doesn’t need a private investigator to find the woman. It’s fate that brought her to him.
Nathan stood up when she went outside, he wasn't smiling, he looked a little bored. She was walking towards him, while Anna was walking behind her. She knew Anna was observing her actions. "Let's go?" She sounded nice and sweetly while smiling at him. Nathan frowned, she was wondering why Nathan always frowned, maybe it's just one of his mannerisms, but it didn't make him less gorgeous. "Ahhmm, Miss Yana, the contractor from the firm came here, he was asking when they will start the construction of our new branch?" Ana seems to wait her decision, but she couldn't decide yet, because she is lack of funds. She has savings in the bank, but it wasn't enough. She was silent for a while, weighing the current situation. If she will make a loan in the bank, it may take a one one week process."I will just call you about it Ann," she told her. "I need to go to the bank first to get some loan for the construction. I have some money but it might not be enough." She tried to smile, as if sayin
Rhianna froze upon hearing the woman's voice. She slowly turned behind her back, then she saw another blonde woman, she was looking directly to Nathan. Wearing a beautiful smile that could melt a men's heart. She didn't even noticed her presence, it's as if she wasn't there. The woman walked gracefully, swaying her hips as she walks on. She was tall and sexy though she already had a child. The woman tiptoed and kissed Nathan on his cheek. She saw how Nathan snaked his arm around her waist. Then Nathan's eyes went to her, he carefully put down the child and got back to her side. He pulled her closer to his body, his arm was on her waist. She noticed how the woman's eyes followed Nathan's arm to her waist. She felt somewhat proud for what Nathan did. She even noticed how the woman slightly raised her perfectly curve brows. Or it was just an imagination, because she was smiling while looking at her. There's also a glint in her eyes. "Babe, I'd like you to meet, Amber Liang. She was a
"Careful, sweetheart." A familiar and soothing voice of her best friend. Hank was still holding her waist, he was intently looking at her eyes. She saw gladness and sadness at the same time. "Take off your hands, young man before I could break your pretty neck!" It was just a whisper coming from Nathan, but it sounds like thunder in her ear.Nathan was just standing near their car, his eyebrows were in one line and his jaw was moving. She even saw that his face was so red, it only means that he did not like what he saw. Hank still for a while, but released her afterwards."I was calling you, sweetheart, but your phone was always out of reach. Where have you been these past weeks?" Hank was asking him, his voice was full of concern. She even noticed that Hank was somewhat bothered. She wasn't sure, but he seemed distant. Maybe Hank was avoiding Nathan's anger. But she knew her best friend, he wasn't afraid of anyone. Before she could answer, Nathan was standing beside, he snaked his
Nathan took the whiskey straight, the bitter taste running down to his throat. Remembering what had happened four years ago, gave his chest a sudden jolt. He was the prime suspect in Stacey's case, but the lack of evidence and witnesses made his life back to normal. The Langleys went to Australia and live there for good. After that he never heard anything from them since then.For now, all he should think about is how to explain it to Rhianna. Upon remembering her, he stood up and paid for his drinks. He promised to tell her everything, he definitely owed her a story. He went to a bakeshop and bought Rhianna's favorite carrot cake. When he reached his pad, Rhianna was sleeping peacefully. Her scent covers the entire bedroom and it lingers in his nostrils. She smells like a fresh flowers, mixed with citrus. He came closer and kissed her forehead. She moved a little but didn't wake up.He went to the bathroom and took a shower, he let the water washed out all his inhibitions, doubts
Rhianna was tossing and turning endlessly on the bed, she liked to get some sleep, but her mind was still active. She got up from the bed and went to the shower room. There was a bathtub inside, she made a bubble bath and dipped herself for a moment. She felt so relaxed and pampered, she stayed there for an hour before she returned to the bed and tried to sleep. But Nathan's voice was ringing in her ear."When I get back, I'll tell you who Stacey Langley was." She needed to know the story, everybody deserves a fair hearing after all. She felt pity for Stacey and sympathy for Nathan. She needs to know why Scott despised him, and she has nothing to do to depend on Nathan, she doesn't know the whole story.She got up again, and picked up her phone. She called Nathan's number but it was just ringing, he must be very busy because of the days that they were in Miami. She stared at her phone for a couple of minutes, as if she was searching the answers through the screen. She took a deep
"What the heck, Nathan? You were cursing endlessly, what happened?" Rhianna raised her voice. She was wondering why Nathan acted that way. "I'll surely kill that bastard!" Nathan muttered, he was gritting his teeth. "What's with you?" She didn't know what the news he heard about, and he was acting so strange. His knowing look darted her. "Tell me honestly, does Langley bother you, babe?" "No, he's not." Rhianna told Nathan."But I saw him last night," she confessed. Nathan's eyes became more furious, he was like a predator, ready to slay his prey."Last night? Where?" He was frowning at her, she felt nervous in the tension that started to build up between them."When I came out from the restroom, in the restaurant last night." She looked down on the floor, she was so afraid to fight his dagging look."You mean, he waited for you? Is that all?" Nathan was gritting his teeth, it seems that he didn't like her confession."No, he told me to call him when we return home," she said bol
