Chapter: Chapter 39: Guns, protection, tattoosAnnastasia's stomach grumbled, and she looked up at Simona, who was seated beside her explaining a cosmetic line to attach to their upcoming fashion week, feeling embarrassed. “Let's end today's meeting here.” Simona announced, and all eyes around the long circular table moved to Anna. After all, Anna was their CEO, and they only listened to her words. Not her lousy secretary, who somehow believes she magically becomes the boss since she is the CEO's secretary. A few of the females rolled their eyes discreetly when they fixed on Simona's face briefly. Anna nodded, smiling. Everyone got up and left. After everyone was out, Simona said, “Umm. Let go, madam. I will treat you to lunch.” “No, you don't have to do that. Let go, I will treat you.” Anna rejected Simona's offer politely. “I insist. Please consider it as a thank you for the hefty bonus you gave me a few days ago.” Simona insisted, her lips pulled into a pout. She didn't intend to let off the topic if Anna does

Chapter: Chapter 38: bundle of joy.Patrick smiled, his eyes shining with mockery.“5 billion?” he repeated with a disbelieving expression. “Is that what my boss is worth in your eyes? You can do better than that.”“Okay, fine, I will double it, 10 billion. That's my final offer.” Helena stated. Patrick smirked, reaching for his briefcase. He stood up and said to Helena,“Call me once you're willing to offer more,”“What?” Helena exclaimed in disbelief, standing up. “Are you telling me 10 billion dollars isn't enough? That's a life-changing offer. Don't be avaricious.” Helena muttered, her voice degrading.Patrick finally took off his mask and laughed at her words.“If someone among us is greedy, then that's you. I thought you were sensible enough to understand why I rejected your offer; I didn't expect you to go ahead and chastise me. I believe you need that more than I do.” Patrick explained politely and turned, walking away, but paused at the door and added in a threatening tone.“I recorded our conversation today. I

Chapter: Chapter 37: I want to become IrisInside Aiden's dining room, Aiden looked at the face of the woman seated opposite him for the umpteenth time and sighed deeply, putting his spoon down and focusing all his attention on her. Anna, who had her head lowered as she ate, sensing Aiden's intense and piercing gaze on her, quickly reached for the glass of chilled orange juice she had requested from one of the maids to take a sip to calm down her souring nerves when Aiden spoke. “Anna, are you alright?” Startled by Aiden's voice, Anna's grip around the glass loosened, causing the juice to pour on her, and the glass dropped to the floor, breaking. “Anna!” Aiden exclaimed, getting up and rushing to Anna's side. She also abruptly stood up, embarrassed by her clumsiness, and took a step backwards, but she was scratched by a shard of glass and groaned painfully. “Anna, what is wrong with you! Can't you watch where you're going?!” Aiden snapped coldly, lifting her off the ground. Tears flooded Anna's eyes as she muttered dejecte

I wasn't thinking straight. I bet Aiden now sees me as some loose woman,” Anna said, her voice trembling as hot tears began to stream down her cheeks. “Anna, dear, are you crying?” Diana asked gently, concern etched across her fe

Chapter: Chapter 35: Her guilty conscienceAnna dried her body and blow-dried her hair after slipping on one of the robes inside the bathroom. Taking in a deep breath to calm herself, she walked out and saw Aiden seated on the edge of the bed. She smiled at him when he turned to look at her. “Let me get you a dress.” Aiden said, getting up and walking into his closet, which was filled with clothes he had bought for Anna. He retrieved a nightgown and walked back into the room. As he emerged, he caught sight of how Anna’s gaze lingered on the dress. A mixture of curiosity and unspoken words reflected in her eyes, yet she remained silent. He passed it to her and informed her, “I instructed the maids to prepare a room for you, opposite mine, so I can keep tabs on you. Get change.” Anna nodded, forcing a smile as she met Aiden's gaze briefly and muttered. “Thank you.” “I’m going to shower quickly. What do you want to eat?” At the mention of food, Anna heard her stomach grumble. "Oatmeal, I think,” Anna answered curtly, not

I need my own room!” Anna yelled with determination in her voice. “Anna, is there something I should know?” Aiden couldn't help but ask, seeing Anna's pale expression. "Nothing; I just need a separate room,” Anna said, and Aiden approached her. Stopping in front of her, he gently cupped her cheek and said, “If you are worried I will have sex with you, do not worry, I won't do anything you're uncomfortable with.” But Anna shook her head, her eyes moistening as she cried out. “I'm not worried about you; it's myself I'm scared of. I'm horny, Aiden!” Anna's hand shot to her mouth, realizing what she had just said. Aiden, on the other hand, smirked, crossing his strong arms over his chest. They flexed, drawing Anna's eyes, as he questioned, “What's wrong with that?” “Everything is. I'm not sure what I feel towards you; I'm confused, and I don't want to do something I will later regret,” Anna confessed. “Would you allow Adrian to have sex with you if he

She exuded confidence with each step she took as if she owned the entire place. Agatha Reigns. Before he realized it, he was marching towards her and grabbed her neck the moment he reached her. A gasp erupts in the hall due to his aggressive behavior. “Where is she?!” he demanded in a growl, his eyes fierce. However, Agatha was far from being intimidated; if she felt something, then it was pleasure. She leans into Alan's body, rubbing herself against him, her eyes rolling back as she smirks seductively at him. “Gosh… If only you knew what you're doing to me… being all manly. Alan I've missed you so much… Please kiss me as you strangle me harder!” She whimpered as Alan's grip on her neck tightened, and tears of pleasure escaped the corners of her eyes. “You crazy woman.” Alan cussed, pushing her away, but not so harshly that she would fall, when he realized she was enjoying what he was doi

He was a man, and even if they still were in the trial period of working on their marriage, the thought of Michelle seeing another man felt like a sword had penetrated his heart. “Um. It turned out I really can't put on the gown without help. And I was checking if a maid was around. And…” Michelle was saying but Alan cut her off. “I can help out, if you don't mind.” Alan offered, his face unreadable. “Oh. Right.” Michelle murmured with a weird laugh. “Yes. Sure. I don't mind.” She lied. She minds very much. She's not ready yet; she's almost naked with her zipper down. Alan will see everything. The lingerie. This is embarrassing. At this thought, Michelle decided to turn the lights out when she has sex with Alan. She was still self-conscious. Luis was the

He deserves my love.” Michelle murmured in an assuring voice, which sounded more like she was trying to convince herself. She slipped on the lingerie as she looked at herself in the mirror. However, a shiver ran down her spine when Luis appeared in the mirror. He stood towering behind her, his face buried in the crook of her neck, planting wet kisses, his haggard breath pricking her skin and awakening goosebumps all over her. “Luis…” she gasped with wide eyes. “How are you…here?” she trails off when Luis looks up. His piercing dark orbs take in her appearance. At the scrutiny of his gaze, Michelle felt an aching throb deep between her inner thighs. “Did you

Chapter: Chapter 157: Congratulations, Mr. RomanoOne week later… Reina, so far, was truly enjoying her honeymoon, having Xavier all to herself. There was no work and no family—just the two of them. And Xavier, he had been the perfect gentleman; he carried the bags whenever they went shopping, he personally fetched her dishes from the counter all the times they dined out, and even gave her massages, even after she had visited the spa. And their lovemaking sessions were on another level—wild, passionate, and intense. When Reina woke up today, Xavier told her that he wanted to take her on an adventure. They ended up flying to a secluded island, which Reina later discovered Xavier had purchased just for her. On the island, at shore, the two made love, naked in the white sand for hours, going for a swim after each passionate and wild round. At times, Reina felt so weak in her legs she couldn't move, so Xavier would carry her. He would carry her deep into the ocean, where the waves danced playfully around them. They swam t

Even though her words said otherwise, the gleam in her eyes betrayed her excitement. “I understand; my woman is always right.” Xavier said hoarsely and placed a lingering kiss on Reina's lips. He was fucking hard; it hurts. But he was also aware of the beast he was last night. ‘Reina deserves a break.’ Xavier at the thought made to get off Reina, but she wrapped her hands around his neck, seizing him as she exclaimed shyly. “I didn't tell you to stop; I only told you I'm sore!” Xavier's lips curled into a cocky smirk as he fixed his dark eyes filled with lust and desire on Reina's face so intensely; she felt uneasy. “What? Even if I had said no, you should know a woman would say no to you, but in fact, she means yes!” Reina yelled and smacked Xavier on the shoulder when he kept grinning at her as she spoke. “That's my girl.

Those people have killed your brother; we have to make them pay!" Catalina said angrily, a malicious expression on her face, and Natalie shook her head in disbelief. "You will never change, right? Brother is dead because of you! You never taught him right from wrong. Since you were always jealous of your older sister, you raised brother with that jealousy! You corrupted his mind! And he grew up with that envy in his heart. You killed brother! You're a murderer! Get out of my sight; I don't want to see you ever again! I don't know you!" Natalie cried.

That is when she realized she and Natalie were squeezed together. Nalatie's head hung low as blood dripped down her face, falling onto her face. Carlotta panicked when she realized she was at a disadvantage. She was below Natalie, and her side of the door was pressed to the ground. But she tried to salvage the predicament. Just then the car moved, and she heard Emilio's urgent voice. Was she delirious, or had her knight in shining armor really arrived? “Emilio…? Is… Is that you?” Carlotta inquired, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. “What, Carlotta? How are you in this car?” Emilio asked, hearing Carlotta's teary voice, but mentally smacked himself and said hurriedly, “Don't worry, la mia regina, we'll get you out of there soon.” Emilio knew they had just a little time before the car exploded.
