"Tell me something, Wolfe. Is she someone special?" Philip asked when both he and Gabrielle was left alone by the guests for the time being.Gabrielle frowned. "Who?" He acted to be unknown, knowing well about whom he was asking.Philip chuckled. "Don't play with me, Wolfe. I know you well." He patted her shoulder. "Miss O'Dean seems an excellent woman. I hope to see you both happy."Gabrielle nodded his head, still holding a blank expression when a few guests approached them once again and he felt bothered.Gabrielle was not fond of socializing. Always maintained his distance and only joined the parties which couldn't be denied. He was the mysterious Duke of Birmingham because of his lack of socialisation. Most of the people don't know about his real identity.However, it's different for Philip. Gabrielle was kind of a debtor to him. After all, this man has saved his life before and he couldn't be rude to this kind man. Moreover, by ignoring him, he didn't want to disrespect the man
The whole room was scattered with torn clothes and filled with the erotic moans of the passionate couple.They seemed to be in the world of lust, having the best moments of their life. Specially, Scarlett. She was so out of control. The drug made her bold and more enthusiastic tonight, giving Gabrielle his best moments.She felt like this time should never stop. It's so good to be with him.Currently, they were lying entangled with each other. Scar was on top of him and Gabrielle was caressing her back, which was enough to make her ready for more rounds. Though they already have a couple of rounds on the bed in various positions, she was craving him more.The doctor was right. The drug was severe and only physical satisfaction could satiate her screaming hormones.Gabrielle didn't have any problem to comply, even though he was loving it. But, her body needed some rest too. She might not understand it now, it wouldn't be good for her tomorrow.Nuzzling on his neck, Scar slowly started
His kisses were making it harder for her to be sane. Feeling submerged a little under his sweet torture, Scar tried to change the topic to get out of the mess she created for herself."Umm... How about we go for lunch? I am a bit hungry after..." She paused her lips in shyness. "After last night."Hiding his face in the crook of her neck, Gabrielle chuckled deeply, sending shivers between her legs once again."Isn't it obvious?" He arched his brow. "You were so bold and crazy last night. Never let go of me for a second." He bit down her earlobe, earning a silent moan from her.He was deliberately teasing both her mind and body.Scarlett was a complete mess, not knowing how to save herself from his torture when her own body was not taking her side!"Little bird," Gabrielle spoke with his deep husky voice in her ear. "You are mine and you should plant that in your mind." As he dropped another pull of wet kisses on her neck.Scar realised that no matter what, he wouldn't let her go easil
When Scarlett walked out of the room, she felt a little nervous to meet Ricci. Gabrielle noticed her uneasiness and frowned. "You want me to come with you?" He asked.Inhaling a deep breath, Scar shook her head. "No, I will do it. I am fine." She paused for a second before adding. "Will you wait for me here?""Hmm." He nodded in assurance.Don't know why, but his answer encouraged her to be confident and she walked inside.Immediately, a silent gasp left her lips. The room was darker than usual rooms but clear enough to see everything. Soon, her roaming eyes found the tied and tortured man.He came to the party like a gentleman and now he exactly looked like a tsunami survivor. Well, worst than that. His clothes were torn and his face bruised. Even have some cuts on his face and body. Whoever did this, clearly didn't bother about him for a second.Though Scar didn't feel bad for him. He deserved what he got.She walked close to him and stopped maintaining a little distance.Ricci was
"Whoa! Calm down Miss O'Dean. Seems like your flight is taking off?" Jonathan chuckled, helping her to organize the desk. She was in a hurry for some reason.Scarlett smiled brightly. "It's more than that. Finally found a little hope in this project. Need to reach there as soon as possible." She replied, placing the last file on the organised pile."See, I told you not to think too much. Everything will be fine because you are hardworking." He sat on his own desk. "Anyways, good luck."Scar nodded her head with a smile and thanked him for his good wish as she walked out of the office with a happy and nervous heart.It's Thursday and she chose to take her leave in the afternoon to meet lady Rebecca. The project approved her to work outside, so she didn't get any hard time going out.When she reached there, surprisingly the guard didn't ask anything else after she told her name and asked her to follow him.'Is it so easy to enter her house? He didn't even bother about my presence! What'
'Sunshine, which company do you work for?'The question caught her attention as she turned her head to face Rafaelle.Seeing her silent, Rafaelle arched his brow. "Something secret?"Quickly shaking her head she smiled. "No, it's not. I do work for Aromallure. It's one of the most famous perfume companies in the UK." She answered."Yeah, have heard about it. Who is the CEO there?" Rafaelle asked casually.Scar pursed her lips before shaking her head. "Umm... No, I don't. Well, none of the employees don't I think. The CEO is new and he never really comes out to meet us." She lied.Well, it's not a whole lie though. Gabrielle didn't meet anyone but her. He has requested her not to mention his name in front of others and keep it a secret.Scarlett didn't know why but she never asked the reason. People could have their privacy and it's not a crime.Rafaelle also didn't bother or at least not in front of her as he nodded his head. "So, what position you are in the company?""I am a perfume
'Should I warn him about her?' She thought.Hesitating, for the time being, Scarlett finally decided to speak up. "I don't know with whom you're aunt set you up, but if it's Camilla, then I hope you can be careful against her."Rafaelle arched his brow with a questioning gaze. "Why would you say that?"Scarlett didn't really want to tell him the whole truth about the drug and what happened back in the hotel. By that, she could risk revealing Gabrielle's identity in front of him and she didn't want that.Licking her dry lips she avoided his gaze before answering, "Camilla is desperate to be with you, and for that, she could do anything, even if it's something illegal... Or frame you."Just to not point anything for him she quickly added, "it's just my assumption. It might not be her too. But, if it is her, just be careful."Rafaelle chuckled, "Are you finally caring about me?" He leaned a little to her side. "Should I call off the meeting?" He teased her.Scarlett gasped, blinking her
The next evening, Scarlett was urgently called back home by her father. So, after her work she directly goes there, thinking about what drama she would be facing next."Oh, Lord." Scar inhaled a sharp breath. "Here it comes." And entered the house.Knowing her father was in the study, she went there directly. After leaving this house she never really bother to visit unless she was called. She never got the homey feeling of this place.However, when she entered the study, she paused on her track with her mouth agape in surprise.Her father was shouting at Camilla!'Oh!' She gasped inwardly. 'What the hell just happened!? He is shouting at his princess! This is too... New!' She pursed her lips. 'Anyways, what is he shouting for?'Concentrating on their words, Scarlett realised it was about the marriage arrangement. As she thought, Camilla tried to drug Rafaelle and annoyed him, which kicked her back with the loss of her candidacy."Oh darling, please calm down." Elie tried to hold her h
