Semua Bab Once An Overlooked Housewife, Now A Queen Of Fortune: Bab 151 - Bab 160

A man handed Felix a file through the window of his car, and Felix took it from him quickly watching him turn around and walk away. Felix wound the window back up, now staring at the file in his hands. The air conditioning blew cool air against his face, but he still felt warm. He loosened his collar, took a breath, and opened the folder.The first thing he saw was the name “Florence Ellington” typed in bold at the top of the first page.He glanced at the documents quickly at first to take in the basic information. Date of birth, school records, a sparse family tree. Then he slowed down to read more carefully.Florence Ellington was Jonathan Ellington’s first daughter. So there was in fact another daughter.She disappeared when she was sixteen years old.Felix flipped through the pages, finding more scant information about her. There were school records from her elementary years, a few more from junior high, but they were bare-bones of atte

Ruth Benson was a 27-year-old hustler who cobbled together a life from different freelance gigs, both legal and questionable. She just did whatever paid the bills and kept her afloat.Ruth could be a photography assistant this week and an assistant event coordinator the next, sometimes a voice actor for low-budget commercials that would never see the light of day beyond local cable access. But her most consistent work was being an extra in films and television projects.It was on one of those sets that she met Grace. The set of Tethered Hearts where she had to be in a crowd scene and pretend to be a wedding guest for almost 12 hours. Ruth happened to be a huge fan of Grace’s from the time she was still modelling. And so as soon as Ruth got the chance, she went to Grace and pitched herself, telling her of how she was trying to break into the face modelling industry and hoped Grace would be of help. She pressed her card into Grace’shand before Grace could refuse

Ruth was now looking directly at Felix, her expression as hard, showing the anger and pain she felt.“I was fifteen years old. Mom had just died, and suddenly there was this woman in her place, wearing her jewelry, sleeping in her bed, redecorating the house like my mother never existed…”Ruth was feeling more invigorated by how well she was acting, and almost smiled right there when she saw that Felix was invested in the story. It was a true story, but not Ruth’s.“Charlotte used to be sweet…or at least so I thought, I think she showed me she was her mother’s daughter,”Felix put the photograph he was holding back in his box, seemingly more interested in Charlotte’s part of the story.“What do you mean?”Ruth laughed, “I can’t even begin to get into the terrible things that girl did to me. But Anthonia wanted Charlotte to be the daughter my father paid attention to, and it

He kissed her then, and his hands slid down her body from the cuffs. He kissed her neck, her collarbone, his mouth hot and worshipful. Her legs shifted restlessly on the sheets. The vulnerability began to morph with the heat he was stoking. Her breathing deepened.He kissed her collarbone, then lower, his mouth moving over her breasts, his tongue flicking over one nipple. Wren gasped again.Dean moved between her legs, his hands gripping her thighs, spreading them apart. He kissed the inside of her knee, then higher, his mouth moving closer to her center. Wren's breathing quickened, her body already responding to his touch.Without breaking his trail of kisses down her sternum, he reached into the box. She felt something smooth and cool brush her lips before she saw the gag. Her eyes went wide with a muffled sound of surprise escaping her throat as he fitted it into place. He fastened the leather straps behind her head. All she heard now was her own harsh breaths quickly through the h

“It’s not that far away from here," Wren said, as they walked towards the front door.“It's still my job to accompany you.”“It’s not that far from here,” she’d argued to Kael in the car, her voice tight.“It’s still my job to accompany you,” he replied.She sighed exasperatedly. ‘Fine. But I’ll drive. You can sit in the back.”In a few minutes, Wren was at Dean’s place. Kael agreed to wait in the car and Wren nodded, then got out of the car and shut the door behind her. She walked up the short driveway and pressed the doorbell, hearing it chime inside.A few seconds later, Dean was at the door. His eyes widened a bit when he saw her.“Wren…Hey. I wasn’t expecting you.”“Can I come in?’ Wren asked.“Of course,” Dean said, stepping aside and gesturing for her to enter.Wren walked past him into the house, and as she did, Dean glanced out towards the street, at her car parked there, he could see Kael sitting in it, giving him a cold look from afar.Dean returned the cold glare and then
