Lahat ng Kabanata ng Taming The Charming Director: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Before Mrs. Maddy had the chance to finish her sentence, the door flung wide open, revealing Arnav stepping in, a suit jacket lazily hooked on two fingers. The movement was effortless, arrogant, and oddly sensual. Was that a tactic to demand attention? If so, it worked flawlessly. Raellyn’s breath hitched, caught off guard by the disarming sight of him. For a few traitorous seconds, her eyes betrayed her by the sight of him.“So, what exactly were you discussing with my wife?” he asked as he approached them, voice casual, but with a sharp undercurrent that made Raellyn’s skin prickle. There was a flicker of tension in Mrs. Maddy’s demeanor, subtle yet unmistakable. Instead of replying, she bowed her head in deference, retreating quickly with a quiet, “Please excuse me. I’ll leave you both to speak in private.”Raellyn opened her mouth, wanting to chase after her, desperate to catch the answer she was so close to hearing something important. Perhaps even revealing. But Arnav was faster

“Unfortunately, I’m not the type who gives easily or generously,” Raellyn said, her voice edged with challenge. “How about a wager on the match? If you win, then I’ll give you a kiss.”Arnav smirked, eyes glinting. “I never back down from a challenge. Especially when it involves conquering you.”“No, no, no,” she corrected with a wicked smile. “You’ve got it backwards. I’ll be the one conquering you, Mr. Director.”Arnav leaned closer. “Fine, but I’ve got one condition. You let me kiss you until I’m satisfied. If we’re doing this, we’re doing it right.”Raellyn laughed softly. “That’s how we solve problems now?”A booming voice filled the stadium. “Ladies and gentlemen, the moment we’ve all been waiting for The Stone Match is about to begin!”As the announcer's voice thundered through the stadium, cheers erupted around them as the crowd roared to life. From their VIP seats, the energy of the stadium pulsed through the air. Raellyn’s eyes sparkled with anticipation. She had already pic

That morning, they left the hotel in a disheveled state. As someone with a deeply rooted sense of modesty, Raellyn instinctively found herself trying to shield her face as she walked beside her husband. The thought that hotel staff might be knowing about them was mortifying and of course, she was painfully aware of the possibility that the hotel staff might be whispering about them. Had they been too loud last night? Too lost in each other? Or maybe the staff didn’t care at all. Perhaps this kind of thing was normal in a place like that. In the world of luxury hotels, such things were routine, expected, even mundane.Still, it didn’t stop the embarrassment clung to her like a second skin.Arnav said nothing. He had already slipped into another persona, lost in the quiet gravity of his professional one. His demeanor shifted, stoic, composed. It was like watching him step into a different world entirely. He created a world apart from the man she had tangled with the night before. People

The thunderous slam of the door as he left his room with Raellyn echoed like a gunshot in Arnav’s chest. Startling him more than he cared to admit. For a brief second, a wave of guilt washed over him but as quickly as it came, his pride crushed it. He let his ego take the reins again.He made his way to the library, which doubled as his study a fortress of silence where whiskey was his most loyal companion. Then he poured himself a drink with steady hands that betrayed nothing. Yet the moment he took that first sip, the bitterness of the alcohol wasn’t enough to drown the truth. The moment with Raellyn earlier had rattled something within him. He had let himself forget.Forget that this marriage wasn’t born of love. Raellyn had her ambition. He had his pleasures to indulge in whatever pleasure her body and presence could give. It was a transaction, nothing more.But then… both had wandered too far off script, into a fragile reality neither had asked for. And yet, somehow, something s

“Congratulations on your new life, sweetheart!” The chorus of voices rang out in cheerful unison.It was a small surprise celebration, organized by Raellyn’s coworkers to welcome her back after her one-week leave. She hadn’t expected such a warm reception, especially after the emotional storm of her life had just weathered wrecked her so thoroughly. Yet here they were, all smiles and warmth, reminding her of how much she was still loved. Her heart swelled with emotion at the kindness around her, And among them, Violet stood out. She is her senior, her friend, the woman who had taken her under her wing when Raellyn was still fresh in the company from day one. Violet, and her charmingly patient boyfriend, Oswald, was there too, along with one of his friends, whom they had invited for dinner at a Korean BBQ restaurant insisting Raellyn treat them.“I’m so relieved now that my junior is finally married!” Violet exclaimed over the sizzling meat on the grill, her voice slightly slurred.
