All Chapters of The Beauty Trap: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I raced to Allure. All I could remember was the fact that Amelia told me Moira came from a noteworthy background. There was nothing she couldn't get done in Hearthsea.While driving, I called Amelia's phone. It was turned off. I called Tristan's phone, which was also turned off.A sense of foreboding washed over me. I blamed myself for being careless. Back when we were in the elevator, I never should've let go of Amelia's hand!Filled with anxiety, panic, and unease, I was desperate to see Moira as soon as possible. At the same time, I fervently prayed that nothing bad happened to Amelia. Otherwise, I would never be able to live with myself.I knew this meant that I'd probably developed feelings for her. That was the only explanation for how agitated I was.When I rushed into Allure, Moira was all smiles, looking as seductive as ever."Ms. Lavigne!" I rushed up to her in a panic, ignoring my sweaty face."Hey there, handsome. What brought you here tonight? Did you miss me?" Moir

"N-Nathan! How did you find this place?" Tristan cried out, looking quite rattled.He knew he was no match for me and began to regret having instructed those men to leave just now. At the time, he simply wanted to keep Amelia for himself and have his way with her. He never would've expected things to backfire on him like this.Now that he didn't have a single henchman with him, there was no way he could hold his own against me."Hitting a woman? Are you even a man?" I snarled.When I saw the handprint on Amelia's face, my heart twisted painfully. This time, I was absolutely not going to show Tristan any mercy. I lunged forward and jumped in the air, driving my foot straight into his abdomen.He let out a muffled groan as his body went flying more than ten feet away. After crashing to the floor, he clutched his abdomen as he continued to whimper nonstop.I rushed up to him and kicked him again, this time square in the face. The kick knocked out his front teeth.Tristan spat some

This was the first time Amelia had ever cried in front of me. The sight of her tears made my heart ache so badly that all I could do was hold her and try to comfort her.As she sniffled, I wiped her tears away and said with a teasing smile, "If you keep crying like that, you won't be pretty anymore.""That's nonsense!" Amelia caressed her face with a look of pride. "I'm a breathtaking beauty. Even when I cry, I'm like a beautiful flower swaying in the rain. You should be satisfied that you got yourself a woman as attractive as me, Nathan.""You should be satisfied, too, babe. I'm pretty incredible myself," I said shamelessly."Ugh. You're so annoying!" Amelia whined, but her eyes were filled with adoration.I relished this feeling of being on the receiving end of a gorgeous woman's affection. It hit me that being with a bombshell like her certainly made things different. A woman like Elaine could never inspire this feeling in me.Amelia got out of bed, wobbling on her feet a litt

Amelia had just dealt Michael the most devastating blow of all. Not even in his worst nightmares did he ever imagine that he would one day be chased out of Finch Group after spending more than half his life building it up in Hearthsea.Indeed, he was driven right out of the company he founded!Amelia had the finance department transfer the money to Michael before immediately having him escorted out of the building, right in front of all the employees. He was utterly stripped of all his dignity."Who is that woman? How did she manage to chase Mr. Finch out?""I heard that she was Tristan's fiancee. I think her name is Amelia Shaw? It sounds as though she's related to the Shaws. She rejected Tristan at the cocktail party last night.""Good for her. A scumbag like Tristan isn't worthy of her."The voices outside grew louder and louder. Even inside the office, Amelia and I could hear everything clearly. These employees were already planning to resign, so nothing was holding them back

In my panic to save Amelia, I'd agreed to spend a night with Moira. Now that she'd reached out to me, I couldn't keep avoiding the subject. A man should always keep his word.I paused briefly in thought before making up my mind to call Moira. The moment the call connected, her sultry voice rang out."My, my. Did you forget all about me because you have a gorgeous woman by your side now, handsome?" she grumbled."What are you talking about, Ms. Lavigne? I'd never forget about you."After Elaine's betrayal, I'd learned a thing or two about dealing with women—to always be sweet with my words but ruthless with my feelings.Women loved being charmed, and since Moira was teasing me, I could tease her right back. A little back and forth kept things exciting."Oh, you little fiend. You just have a glib tongue. Why do I enjoy chatting with you so much? Would you like to hang out with me for a bit?" Moira extended a genuine invitation to me."Sure," I replied.She gave me an address. "Un
