The whole way back, Stephen refused to communicate.When they reached Oceania Villa, he dragged her out of the car like a dog. Yvonne grew frustrated at once. "Stephen, all I did was have dinner with Xavier. Do you have to be this angry? If you touch me like that again, I’ll come at you!""I’d like to see you come at me." Stephen released his grip, unbuttoning his shirt. Then he rolled his sleeves up slowly and stepped towards her.Yvonne didn't back down. She kicked off her heels and prepared to fight him. If he refused to listen, she would fight him until he'd had his fill.Right at that moment, Tabitha ran out in a panic. "Madam! Mr. Anderson! You’re back! Your father has been waiting for a long time."Stephen’s gaze darkened. What was Charles doing here?Yvonne was perplexed, too. She was about to take a look, but Stephen barricaded her with his arm. He ordered Julian, "Lock her up in the basement.""I …" Julian watched uneasily as Stephen walked away. He looked at Yvonne wi

Yvonne ran out from the backyard and climbed over the wall, landing squarely on her feet. Like a sparrow, she ran off swiftly in glee. The six-foot-tall walls weren't enough to keep her shut in.Little did she know that Stephen, who was standing on the second-floor balcony, had seen everything.She was truly uncontrollable and uncontainable.Julian stood behind Stephen in bewilderment. How could Mrs. Anderson be so fearless of Mr. Anderson?"Mr. Anderson, do you want me to send people out to catch her?""No." Stephen retracted his gaze. "Get someone to follow her and see what she’s up to."Julian nodded. "Okay."…Once out of Oceania Villa, Yvonne hailed a cab and went to the address that Rachel had sent her, which was a hotel. Rachel had probably been working when she was dumped.When Yvonne walked in, Rachel leapt into her arms in tears.People walked to and fro in the hall. On top of that, Rachel was a public figure. Yvonne was afraid of attracting people’s attention. So s

His eyes, which had been full of affection just minutes before, were now ice cold.Kayla panicked and shook her head. "I … I didn’t do it.""You didn’t?" Xavier’s eyes grew even frostier. "My mother would never force me to get engaged to you out of the blue.""I … I truly have no idea." Tears welled up in Kayla’s eyes. She said weakly, "I only found out yesterday that Jasmine was throwing an engagement party for us. I’m not lying to you."Indeed, she hadn’t known anything. When Monica had told her the news, she'd been so happy that she hadn't been able to sleep the entire night. She'd gotten up early in the morning to dress up, wanting to be the prettiest fiancée in the world. But Xavier hadn't glanced at her for longer than a second throughout the party. Now he was looking at her as if she were some sort of enemy.Kayla grew even more miserable as her thoughts spiraled. Her tears rolled down her cheeks, and she grasped at Xavier’s clothes."I really like you, Xavier. Please be n

His scorching breath brushed against Yvonne's neck as he planted kisses on her skin. Like a patient hunter, Stephen slowly devoured her, inch by inch. Yvonne opened her eyes momentarily and met Stephen's gaze. Her breath hitched in her throat inexplicably. Usually, this man was as cold as ice. His eyes would only become warm and restrained when he was overcome with emotion, entrancing her with his allure and sensuality. In a daze, Yvonne thought that Stephen was definitely her arch nemesis. She was completely at his mercy, at least in moments like this. …The next day, Yvonne went downstairs to have breakfast. Rachel kept looking over at her throughout the meal.Yvonne spoke up: "Why do you keep looking at me? Am I that attractive?" Rachel pulled her chair closer and said earnestly, "Mr. Anderson has just recovered from his illness; you should take it easy on him."Yvonne was puzzled by her words. The next second, she remembered seeing several hickeys on her neck

Yvonne accompanied Rachel and waited at the entrance of the villa for Dexter to arrive. After ten minutes, a Mercedes-Benz approached the gates slowly and stopped in front of them. The car window rolled down, revealing a young, handsome face behind the wheel. Dexter had short, blond hair that accentuated his fair skin, glowing with radiance in the sunlight. Whenever he smiled, his eyes disappeared. Dexter's vibe was that of a golden retriever, pure and innocent. Regardless of his personality, his handsome appearance was enough to charm numerous girls who would fall for his princely looks. However, he wasn't Yvonne's type. He appeared too feeble and weak for her liking. She could knock out ten guys like him with one punch.Dexter stared at the villa with admiration. "Rachel, did you stay here? When did you make such wealthy friends?" When he'd driven up from the foot of the mountain, he'd looked up the location of Oceania Villa. He'd discovered it was located in an upscale ar
