21 You just want to get me into bed, right?

At the corner of the staircase, the lights glittered like stars.Every family present ranked within the top ten in New York. Looking back three generations, each of them had once stirred storms at the very center of power.Yet when placed beside Lorenzo, all that brilliance dimmed into mere background.Setting status aside, his looks alone were striking. Though he bore some resemblance to Lucas, the rest was a level of maturity and cold sharpness Lucas could never reach.That innate distance of someone born above others, like a cold moon surrounded by stars, untouchable and remote.If this had been yesterday, Anna would have stood up to greet him.Now that she had given up on this man, she stayed where she was, reclining lazily without moving.Their gazes met only for a brief moment before she shifted her eyes to the boy beside her who was peeling grapes.The boy, caught by her direct gaze, flushed red. Though he was a trained model, his lack of experience showed. He asked softly,"Is

22 Reliving the Pleasure of That Night

The boy’s earnest expression reminded her of Lucas.The way he used to call her so brightly had been deceptive enough to make her believe he was gentle and pure.A wolfish boy could be fun, but never worth giving her heart.She had already paid that price once. She would not make the same mistake again.Anna only needed a driver.She had drunk a little too much tonight. Slightly tipsy, she slipped into the passenger seat.The boy closed the door for her. Anna leaned against it, drowsy and half asleep.After a while, she heard the car door shut. Sleep washed over her. Without opening her eyes, she slurred out the address of the Whitmore family.The car started moving. The boy stayed quiet and did not disturb her, and she fell into deeper sleep.So deep that she did not even realize they had arrived.The door opened, and someone lifted her up.The sudden weightlessness startled her. Anna realized she was being carried.All she could see was a white shirt, and she instinctively assumed i

23 Perhaps Sincerity Matters More Than Gain

There was probably not a man alive who could resist a voice like that, soft enough to melt bones.Lorenzo’s Adam’s apple rolled slightly as he was about to speak.At that moment, a male voice came from the stairwell."Uncle, you are back."Anna stiffened. She glanced through the gap toward the corner of the stairs.A boy with messy hair, bare upper body, gray shorts, and slippers shuffled lazily down the steps.An unbelievable thought flashed through Anna’s mind, and the look in her eyes changed instantly.A warm hand covered her eyes before she could say anything reckless."Throw that filthy thought out of your head. It is not what you think."Only then did the boy notice the woman in Lorenzo’s arms."Damn. Uncle, you brought a woman home. Did the sun rise from the west tonight? Let me see who managed to take down you, the cold hearted stone statue."Instead of leaving, the boy leaned in to get a closer look.Anna was still hanging onto Lorenzo, and there was nothing confirmed betwee

24 A Trial of Love Before Marriage

Hearing his proposal, Anna’s lips curved slightly. A breeze passed by, lifting strands of her hair.Bathed in the streetlight, her face looked gentle and soft, yet the light in her eyes was like roses climbing a wall, beautiful but edged with cold thorns that kept others at a distance."I have tried before, but love is not a beautiful thing. If Mr. Caldwell wants a wife whose whole heart belongs to you, I may not be the right choice."She spoke plainly."I was born rebellious and never learned to behave. As for your wonderful nephew who betrayed me, he is still wandering around San Diego. I am very vindictive."In elite families, how many people truly controlled their own marriages.Many married to expand business empires for the benefit of two families. Afterward, husbands and wives appeared harmonious on the surface while living separate lives.There were also domineering men who controlled women completely. Capable and brilliant women before marriage were slowly worn down afterward

25 Not Just a Girlfriend, but a Lover

When Anna returned to the Whitmore residence, she carried a faint scent of alcohol. Her cheeks were flushed, her lips glossy and slightly swollen. Anyone with eyes could tell what she had just been up to."Oh, you are back."Lily came downstairs at an unhurried pace, a knowing smile playing on her lips."You drank yourself into this state?""A friend opened a venue. I went to show support and had a bit to drink.""You could do whatever you wanted before and no one said a thing. But do not forget, now you represent the Whitmore family.""Thank you for the reminder. I will head back to my room."Anna went upstairs but stopped at the corner of the second floor.She heard the mother and daughter whispering."Mom, my friend saw her ordering male models, and later she even left with one. Just now I saw a man bring her home. Look at her. She must have been fooling around."Brenda lowered her voice."You are sure you did not see wrong?""Of course not. I even took photos. This is my trump car

26 Read but Never Replied

Lucas stared at the words A lover.For reasons he could not explain, a sense of unease crept in.He had once wondered what kind of woman someone like Lorenzo would marry. With that cold and distant temperament, even if he secretly married, no one would notice. Two years ago, Lucas had even investigated whether Lorenzo had registered a marriage abroad. The result was clear. He was a man detached from worldly desire, an unreachable figure.Just days ago, he mentioned wanting an arranged marriage. Today, he openly declared a relationship.It did not fit Lorenzo at all.It was only an arranged match. Was it really worth this much attention?If it were merely a Whitmore Caldwell alliance, he would have mentioned the Whitmore family by name. When people asked about the woman’s background, he did not reply at all. That meant he was not signaling an alliance.This post was simply showing affection.That was Lorenzo. The man who stayed expressionless even under heavy fire.The Whitmore family’

27 Staying Beautiful Is Hard Work for a Woman

Anna bought a large haul of groceries and entered the villa using the password he had given her.When she walked in, the living room was spotless.Just like Lorenzo himself, the entire house was done in a minimalist style. Clean lines, empty space, and a distinct lack of warmth.She slipped off her heels. The shoe cabinet only held men’s slippers, so she picked out a new pair, changed into them, and carried the groceries into the kitchen.She started by putting a pot of soup on to simmer, then moved on to baking small cakes for his afternoon tea.A qualified partner needed to look good in public and handle the kitchen with ease.Anna had been well trained since childhood. Music, calligraphy, painting, and chess were only the basics. Skiing, fencing, horseback riding, and shooting were all skills she had mastered as well.Especially cooking.She was usually too busy to cook, but that did not mean she could not.By the time she finished, the morning had slipped by, and a light dusting o

28 Do You Want It

As she lifted her chest, the air grew thick with unspoken tension.A faint heat crept up behind Anna’s ears. She wanted to hook the man fast, but not in a place like this.“How am I supposed to eat if you keep holding me like this?” she said, changing the subject.Lorenzo caught her wrist.“Feed me.”Anna was speechless. She had never met anyone this difficult.But he held her future in his hands. She forced a patient smile.“Alright. Let go first.”He had no intention of releasing her. His thumb brushed lightly over the soft skin on the inside of her wrist.Left with no choice, Anna stayed in that close, dangerous distance and fed him bite by bite.The way Lorenzo looked at her was far too open and intense. It felt as if what he truly wanted was not the food, but her.By the time the meal ended, Anna’s heart was racing. She quickly stood up, tidied the table, and prepared to leave.“If Mr. Caldwell has nothing else, I will head out.”His cool voice came from behind her.“Make dinner

29: I Really Have No Interest in Other Women

Her body was gently placed on the bed, and she was extremely tired, trying to summon enough energy to face Lorenzo. The man didn't respond, and soon, she drifted back to sleep.She noticed a few tiny, bright blisters on her hand, which caught her attention. He knelt beside the bed, patiently applying ointment to her skin.Anna felt his fingers, cool to the touch, and found it surprisingly soothing.Before long, her body was pulled into a warm embrace.In the dark of the night, the man held her slender waist, whispering in her ear, “Heartless little liar.”The next day.Anna woke up to find that it was already late morning.Damn it, after years of early mornings and late nights, her biological clock had only just begun to stabilize after a few days of rest, and now it was all thrown off.She realized she was lying in the master bedroom's big bed, but Lorenzo was nowhere to be seen.She quickly took out her phone and sent him a message.[Why didn't you wake me up?][Target customer: I t

30: Kiss Me

Though the door was locked, this was the Caldwell family!Anna’s nerves were taut, every fiber of her body on edge."Don’t... Lor...enzo..."The man’s gentleness vanished, replaced by dominance and urgency. It was as if he wanted to steal every breath from her lips, suffocating her in the process.Anna pushed at him, but he simply lifted her, placing her on the cool marble countertop.The chill of the stone seeped through her clothes, making her shiver.Not satisfied, Lorenzo leaned in, pressing her against the mirror, the cold air sending a shiver down her spine.His heated body pressed against hers, his hands lifting hers above her head, kissing her urgently and with desire.The polished glass, now clear from the servants’ cleaning, reflected their passionate scene.“Knock, knock.”A knock sounded at the door, and Lily’s voice rang out from outside, “Sister, are you in there?”Startled, Anna shoved Lorenzo away. His gaze, burning with intensity, only made her more frightened. His ey
