Adrianna's heart quickens as Lance leans in closer, his lips claiming hers in a passionate kiss. Lance's lips are firm and demanding.

The warmth of his body envelopes her, and she feels his hands clutching her closer, their intensity igniting memories of a bond that once radiated warmth. One hand caresses her hair gently, fingers weaving into her strands. In that moment, she melts against him, torn between unbridled joy and a pang of heart-wrenching sadness. Despite the kiss, deep down, she knows their relationship will never return to its former glory.

As Lance finally breaks the kiss, his breath mingling with the gentle breeze of the outdoor pool area, his piercing blue eyes search her face. They hold both concern and a touch of desperation. โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong?โ€ he whispers, his thumb brushing softly along her cheek as he traces the tears that roll silently down her skin.

โ€œIโ€”โ€ she begins, her voice trembling, but words escape her. Instead, she allows herself to be swept away, feeli

    โ€œWhat the fuck are youโ€”?? He drags her towards him, cutting her sentences midway. He envelopes her in an embrace that feels both warm and comforting. โ€œAdrianna,โ€ he murmurs, his voice rich and low. Adrianna feels confused about his latest action. โ€œWhy is Lance suddenly acting all nice and strange? What plan is he harboring?? She wonders. She instinctively strains against him, her hands pushing his solid forearms, but he remains unyielding. Lance's brow furrows, a line etching itself between his dark eyes. โ€œWhy does her sadness affect him so? He wonders a familiar ache tightening in his chest but he quickly dismisses the feelings. Caught in the moment, Adrianna finds herself softening against his chest, listening to the rhythmic beat on his chest. Raising her gaze, her eyes lock with hisโ€”dark, full of desire and a deep longing. It was clear that he wanted her as much as she wanted him. โ€œI love you, Lance,โ€ she confesses in her heart. Her tightens, faced with the reality, she must

    โ€œMa, is there anything else you require?โ€ The maid asks softly, her voice barely a whisper in the spacious room. Adrianna glances at her lingering figure near the doorways, she forces a smile that doesn't reach her eyes. โ€œNo thank you,โ€ she replies and glances at the young maid. โ€œYou can take your leave now.โ€ With that, the maid bows and exits the room, her footsteps fading into the hallway and leaving Adrianna alone with her unsettling thoughts. Her mind drifts back to the earlier eventโ€”a storm of jealousy and confusion swirls within her. Even the most oblivious of hearts would recognize the tension between Lance and Bianca. The way their eyes had met and lingered, a silent conversation passing between them, as if they had been yearning for that connection, made her stomach twist. She had stood there frozen, a silent observer and to confirm her suspicion, Lance with a dismissive wave sent her away to her room. โ€œWhat type of relationship do these two have? She wonders. Now, the

    โ€œDoes anyone hear that? Bianca exclaims, finally breaking the awkward atmosphere. A triumphant smile stretches across her face as she squeezes Lance's hand, likely savoring every moment while Adrianna stares wide-eyed at Lance, searching for any sign of his reaction. โ€œYou can leave now, Ramon,โ€ Bianca instructs him, then faces Adrianna, trying so hard to hide her smug smile. โ€œI feel overwhelmed,โ€ Bianca exclaims, a triumphant smile stretching across her face as she squeezes Lance's hand. โ€œThis must be a joke,โ€ Adrianna mutters to herself, trying very hard to steady her breath. Why did Lance keep his engagement from her? Is she that less of a human that he only keeps her by his side as a mistress?? She can't bear the pain anymore and slams her hand on my table. โ€œLance! What is this all about? She shouts, standing up from her seat. โ€œWhy did you hide this from me? Why do you like humiliating me?โ€ฆ..a sob escapes her throat.

    Slowly, he bends closer, his breath mingling with hers. He can feel the heat radiating from her body, the frantic pulse that beats in her neck. Her confused, tearful eyes search his, seeking for explanation and validation from a man she thought she knew. He kisses her eyelids, his lips soft against her damp skin. Slowly, deliberately, he traces the path of her tears with his lips, a strange mixture of tenderness and possessiveness in his touch. He finally stops at her mouth, his lips gently brushing against hers, savoring the softness before deepening the kiss. Adrianna tries to turn her face away, a futile attempt to break free from the sudden intimacy but his free hand cups her cheek, holding her captive. His lips press harder, demanding entrance, but she keeps her mouth tightly closed. A cruel glint enters his eyes. He presses down on her injured finger, and as a sharp hiss of pain escapes her lips, his tongue forces its way into her mouth, angrily exploring its soft interior.Hi

I broken sob escapes me and I sink my teeth into my lip to stifle it.I feel his smile against my neck. He likes to do that, to drag it on till I canโ€™t take it anymore. To tease me to I think I am going to explode. His fingers grip my thighs tighter as he thrusts into me again, pressing my back against the sand of the beach.My eyes lose focus and tension coils deeper in my stomach. His thrusts continue, slowly, like we have all the time in the world. I feel my toes curl and my head falls back. The tension buildingup in me reaches a breaking point and a scream escapes me as I climax. His thrusts become wilder, deeper, riding out the last ofmy release before he stills above me and shudders, failing against my breasts. I feel his breath hot against my neck in the spot where he had kissed.โ€œYou're so beautiful.โ€ I hear him mutter, his fingers strokin

His hand on my knee stops me cold.โ€œSit.โ€ He commands curtly. โ€œDon't cause a scene.โ€I shove his hand off my knee, ignoring the wave of dizziness that hits me. โ€œWhat the hell are you doing here?โ€โ€œYour assistant damn near stalked me to get my location.โ€ He says conversationally. โ€œYou mean to tell me you didn't expect to see me?โ€No. Because youโ€™re not a French Marquis.โ€œSo go on and tell me.โ€ He says. โ€œWhy did you seek me out withโ€ฆโ€ I feel his gaze roam over me and my cheeks heat up.

How has he managed to convince everyone that he's the heir to a Marquisat?Lance had had all his assets seized and his house sold off. Even if he got out of jail, he should be broke, not possessing an aristocratic title.โ€œOut of jail, sweet? That's pretty obvious, isn't it?โ€ He says, his face

    Adriannaโ€™s POV(Five years ago)โ€œWeโ€™re having a group of entrepreneurs over at the office today at two.โ€ Lance said one morning as we rode in the elevator together. There were about three other people in the elevator with us so we were forced to stay with our shoulders pressed together.โ€œEntrepreneurs?โ€ I echoed.โ€œThe founders of Canyon.โ€ He said. โ€œYou know, the underwear brand?โ€I felt a blush heat my face. I wasnโ€™t prudish or anything, it just felt a bit too Intimate talking about underwear with Lance.Lance had zeroed in on Canyon stock prices as having great potential to skyrocket in a year or two. It had taken less than a week to reel them in.โ€œSweetheart, I know this is too much to ask, given the amount of work I've piled up for you,โ€ He said sheepishly. โ€œbut Iโ€™d really appreciate it if you could keep the minutes of the meeting for me.โ€With Lance, words like โ€œsweetheartโ€ or โ€œdarlingโ€ were not endearments but mere placeholders for names.

    Adriannaโ€™s POVFive years agoI sat in the living room with the woman who introduced herself as Portia. She seemed to blend in with the silent sophistication of the living room. The interior of Lance's home was elegant in a soft way, with well matched nude couches and walls. The floors were panned with wood. There was an electronic fireplace below the television set.My eyes fell on Portia again, the lady who exuded so much sexuality and charm that even I was impressed. Was she Lance's girlfriend?I suddenly felt stupid, feeling the urge to do up my buttons. Why would he even look at me if he had such a sensual woman waiting in his home? Yes, she was a bit older, but I doubted Lance was the kind of man to let something so trivial as age get in the way of a relationship he wanted.She poured herself some wine, her eyes next straying from me.โ€œYou said you were Adrianna? His assistant?โ€ she asked, settling down on a couch opposite me. I nodded.โ€œAnd you came over tonight to give himโ€ฆโ€ h

    22โ€œAdrianna!โ€ comes his low, commanding voice, slicing through the darkness. โ€œDo you think you can hide from me?โ€ Her heart races as she steps back instinctively, disoriented by the storm of emotion crashing over her. The man she both desires and despises sits poised like a predator ready to strike, his intense gaze fixing upon her with unyielding intensity. โ€œWhat are you doing here?โ€ she demands, every ounce of her frustration pouring into her words, turning the air electric. โ€œI'm here for you, Adrianna?โ€ Lance replies languorously. He leans casually against the wall, his presence commanding and unyielding in the darkness of the room. He beckons Adrianna to him with a lazy smile, the corners of his lips curling up playfully. Yet, she hesitates, her heart pounding frantically in her chest. โ€œNoโ€”and see yourself out, please.โ€ Lance's smile widens and he walks toward her. Panic engulfs her as he approaches, triggering an instinctual need to flee. โ€œAdrianna,โ€ he purrs, stepping clos

    Father, pleโ€”please!โ€ she whispers, audible enough to their hearing, but her Father remains unfazed by her cries. Adrianna gathers emotions like storm clouds in a brewing tempest and walks out of the room. She feels the weight of anger and betrayal settle heavily in her chest. As she steps out into the waiting area, Victoria and Wade stand expectantly, their expression a mix of concern and curiosity. Her once warm face now looks pale and a bit wrinkly due to stress. โ€œAdrianna! Is everything okay?โ€ Victoria calls, attempting to bridge the gap filled with unspoken words and emotions, but Adrianna instinctively pulls back, shunning her sister's touch. She knows her anger isn't meant to be directed to them but she cannot help itโ€”mostly by the very people she loves. โ€œI need some time alone,โ€ she snaps, her voice cold and ice, and she brushes past them without a second glance. โ€œAdrianna, please wait!โ€ Victoria called after but her little sister was already pushing through the heavy doors

She feels her body begin to relax from the soft touches of Martha. โ€œThat shameless scumbag! How dare he undress an unconscious lady.โ€ โ€œyou've got it wrong Ma. I was the one that changed your clothes yesterday as instructed by Mr Lance.โ€ Maria says, her voice barely above a whisper, yet there is a hint of mischief in her eyes. โ€œYou mean he had you change me? Adriannaโ€™s indignation rises again, this time directed towards the maid beside her.โ€œYes, miss. But it was just for comfort. We have to ensure you are well taken care of. And Mr Lance had to leave to give you some privacy. โ€œOh really? She mutters, left with mixed emotions. A part of her is glad that Lance didn't touch her while the other partโ€”the vulnerable and yearning part is a little bit disappointed. Did he mean it? That she is not his type? She thinks.

    A smooth familiar voice greets her. Even if she reincarnates a thousand times, she will always recognize his smooth deep voice. As she turns her head, there is Lance. She blinks, chest tightening as she takes in Lance, who is impeccably dressed in a tailored emeraldโ€”colored suit that accentuates his broad shoulders and angular jawline, the soft light enhances the angle of his jaws and the rich color of his eyes. He is sitting casually on a couch across her bed, with his legs crossed over the other. His presence is infuriatingly disarming, and for a moment, she finds herself mesmerized by how effortlessly handsome Lance is. โ€œWhere am I? She croaks, her throat dry and scratchy as her heart races maybe from the sight of him or the crazy scene from last night. Lance smirks as if he enjoys the chaos swirling around her. โ€œYou are safe, for now. But,โ€ he gestures to a file lying on the table, open and inviting. โ€œTime to sign the contract,โ€โ€™ he adds sardonically, letting the weight of those
