"Where are you going?"Conrad's voice was hoarse.Sierra didn't dare to move an inch. The lingering scent of his post-shower freshness mixed with masculine pheromones sent her heart racing."Um..." Hadn't she made herself clear just now? She was so nervous that she didn't even know how to speak properly."Why do you smell different?" Conrad leaned closer, inhaling deeply, dissatisfaction flickering in his eyes. The familiar scent that had been tempting him was missing, replaced by a fresher, lighter fragrance."Brother-in-law, I'm Sierra, not my cousin." Sierra finally regained some clarity, attempting to remove his hand from hers. She knew he had mistaken her for her cousin.But in the next second, Conrad tilted his head slightly, his face drawing closer to her neck. Indeed, the scent wasn't the same as usual.He wanted to take a clear look at the person before him, but his vision was hazy, as if a veil had been drawn over his eyes…Instead of pulling away, the man behind her pressed

“I’ll let them know later. Don’t get too full of yourself—I’m only doing this because I’m in a good mood. And don’t bring just anyone to me in the future.”Wrapped in a white towel around his lower body, Raiden stepped toward the bed, water droplets trickling from his damp hair down his chiseled face, sliding over his firm chest, down his sculpted eight-pack, and disappearing into the towel—exuding an undeniable allure.Raiden had an incredible physique. Though he appeared lean in clothes, underneath, he was all muscle—the type of man who looked slim dressed but well-built undressed. It wasn’t until later that Skyler learned that he and Britney’s husband spent years training together.It was clear now that his remarkable body came from consistent workouts.His words ignited a flicker of hope in Skyler’s heart. Maybe he wasn’t as heartless as she thought—just difficult and a little petty. But she kept those thoughts to herself. If he ever found out, he might just throw her off this pen

For some reason, whenever work calmed down, certain people and events would replay vividly in her mind.Her thoughts were filled with Manuel, as if she had been poisoned.In the bathroom, the sound of running water stopped. Britney turned over and closed her eyes. Before long, she heard the door open behind her, followed by a broad chest pressing against her back.It was warm and comforting.The man carefully slipped his arm under her snowy white neck, letting her rest on it like a pillow.She didn’t deny that she liked this embrace, that she enjoyed the feeling of being cared for like this. A faint smile unknowingly deepened on her lips. But after having her long-term relationship with Conrad betrayed, fear crept into her heart—fear of loss.That fear made her want to hold onto this man. Britney reached out with her delicate, jade-like fingers and grasped his large hand tightly.Manuel gently tightened his hold, interlocking their fingers.They lay closely together, his warm breath b

Sierra stood frozen in place.Looking past her, Conrad saw the suitcase behind her."Are you leaving?"It was unclear whether it was because of what had happened between them last night, but hearing his voice now made her heart race. For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond."Shall we talk?" Conrad's voice was gentle, just as soothing as the aura he gave off."Aunt Louise is still at home. We should..." Sierra fidgeted with the hem of her skirt, feeling uneasy.However, Conrad stepped to the side, brushing past her, and walked into the guest room. "She was sent out by me to buy something."A full ten minutes earlier, Aunt Louise had been sent out by Conrad."Oh." Sierra closed the door and turned around.Conrad didn’t sit down but instead stood there. "Where are you planning to move to?"Sierra fiddled with the hem of her skirt, her heart conflicted. She hadn’t really known why she had acted the way she did last night, but in the moment, she had let herself be swept along with the

Of all the possibilities running through Elena’s mind, they ultimately converged into one: after sending her home, was Ernesto going to find Karsyn?Hearing his sudden words, Elena felt reassured. He wasn’t good with words, but he had given her an explanation."I’ll call you tomorrow then." As she got out of the car, she held onto the door and spoke to the man inside.Ernesto merely responded with a faint "Mhm."Feeling content, Elena closed the door, and the black sedan sped away into the night.The neon lights on either side of the road flashed by in a blur.Gazing at the road ahead, Ernesto’s lips pressed into a thin line.The one-month agreement he made with Elena now had less than three weeks left. In truth, what he had felt for Elena at that time was just a fleeting moment of emotion—nowhere near love…Suddenly, Ernesto sharply turned the steering wheel.—Karsyn stood by the roadside and watched as the black Cayenne drove past her without the slightest intention of stopping.Tr
