All Chapters of Her Price, His Obssession (Erotic billionaire/ dark Romance): Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Maria had barely slept since Bella’s call. Her own life was falling apart, so thinking clearly felt impossible.The sun was already up. Her head was spinning, but the smell of food reached her anyway. She knew exactly who was cooking as she walked into the kitchen.“Why are you here, Adrian?” she snapped. “Oh wait, stupid question. This is your house. I should be the one leaving so you can fuck your boyfriend in peace.”Adrian let out a tired breath. “Maria, I wish you could understand.”“Understand what? If I had another man or woman on our bed, would you sit down and try to ‘understand’ me? You think this is a joke, Adrian Hart? Because of you, Clara almost lost her baby…and her life yesterday. You really think this is funny?”“Good morning, Mrs. Hart,” a quiet voice said behind her.Maria froze. She turned slowly. “You brought him here?”She stared at the young man in disbelief . “Have you no shame? Wrecking someone’s marriage and still showing your face? A grown man with zero self

The party was a shocker. It wasn’t at all what Bella expected. Everyone was dressed almost scandalously, making her wonder if this was really a business gathering or just an excuse for indulgence. Her long gown felt out of place, and Maria wasn’t there to offer any support."where is she?" Bella asked herself as she scanned the place.The host was busy getting drunk, while his wife pressed herself against him. Bella rolled her eyes. "So this is why they wanted the wives here…pleasure in the guise of business", she muttered to herself, feeling a little tipsy after taking two glasses of alcohol.She glanced around...and there he was.Lucian sat with casual ease, letting women approach him freely. He smiled and laughed, never pushing them away.Jealousy filled Bella’s chest. It didn’t matter how twisted his love for her was but hers was real. Seeing him charm other women like that cut deep. She wanted that smile, that attention, to be hers.She picked up another glass and drained it, le

Bella gasped in shock, her hands flying to cover her mouth.Lucian wiped the blood from his lip but held himself back from retaliating. He was very aware that there could be cameras nearby.Luckily, he had booked all the rooms on the floor, so no one was close enough to hear the commotion.“You fake piece of bullshit,” Caspien muttered, raising his hand again. “Parading around like some saint. I told you I would find out the real you.”“Stop!” Bella cried, stepping in front of Lucian and shielding him from another hit, even though she was confused and had no idea what was happening.“What’s going on, Caspien?” she demanded. “What did he do?”“Ask your reputable husband what he did last night,” Caspien said, pointing a finger at Lucian.“What rubbish is this?” Lucian snapped in anger. “Afraid of a little threat, so you come up with lies like this?”“If you can’t handle your drink, why take it?” Caspien sneered.“Lilah. Come here,” he ordered.Lilah stepped into the room.Bella’s breath

Maria slowly opened her eyes.“What time is it?” she murmured, rubbing them sleepily as she sat up.Her gaze drifted toward the clock.“Oh, shit. It’s already afternoon. I have an important meeting in New York in two days.”Just then, Peter walked out of the bathroom.Water dripped from his hair and down his chest, a white towel tied loosely around his waist.“Good afternoon, ma’am,” he greeted politely.Maria turned toward him…and froze.“Oh…” she whispered under her breath.He looked soft and relaxed, his lips slightly parted as he dried his damp hair with another towel. Yet his body was undeniably striking. His narrow waist, broad shoulders, and perfectly defined abs made it hard to look away.At that moment, the door opened.Adrian stepped inside and immediately caught sight of his wife staring at Peter as though time had stopped.A smirk tugged at his lips.He cleared his throat loudly, snapping Maria out of her trance.Maria quickly looked away, her cheeks turning warm.“Why did

Bella immediately regretted choosing the sleeveless gown. If she had worn something with straps or sleeves, perhaps he would have had to untie her wrists to slip it off…or so she told herself. Deep down, she suspected he might simply have torn the dress from her body.Lucian let the cigarette fall from his fingers. Without a word, he reached behind her and loosened the knot that bound her hands. Once she was free, he turned her to face him, took another slow drag, and then captured her mouth in a fierce, hungry kiss. He exhaled the smoke directly between her parted lips.Inside her head, Bella screamed…”This is insane. I don’t smoke…I should shove him away!” The protest stayed locked in her throat. His kiss consumed her the way a thirsty person devours a ripe, juicy sweet orange, unrestricted and very thorough. She shifted slightly, instinctively trying to create distance, but the way he pressed into her only urged her body to respond, matching his intensity.His tongue slipped past
