"Do you think she's ready for me?" Sean had changed into a black silk nightgown and sat down on the sofa in his room. Calmly, the man took a sip of his wine, then looked at Taylor, his personal bodyguard and confidant, who stood before him with his trademark expressionless face. "I think she is ready, but not to surrender to you, but to kill you. The look in her eyes is a hateful and murderous one," Taylor replied half-jokingly. Sean smiled slightly at this answer, "Yes, her eyes are burning and hateful. He took another sip of his wine and closed his eyes, "But you know how much I want to have her tonight. "Yes, I know," Taylor replied calmly, "are you going to force her?" "I don't like to force women, you know that." He was used to being surrounded by women who submitted to him because no woman could resist Sean Anderson's charms. With his dark hair, pale blue eyes and aristocratic face, you could almost say he was as perfect as an angel. If only his eyes weren't so cold, unf

Arriving at the parking lot, a second after Jenna was dropped off, she ran with all her might to get away, but only a few steps in, the rock hard hands grabbed her again.Jenna struggled but couldn't fight back, frustrated she bit down on the hand holding her with all her strength. The bodyguard moans as he curses, while Sean just stares at the commotion in front of him, chuckling with amusement.Jenna tried to struggle, biting and kicking until she was exhausted, staring breathlessly at Sean with a hateful look, still in the strong grip of his bodyguard.Sean returned her look with a wickedly sweet smile, "If you promise to be nice, maybe I'll offer you a comfortable place next to me in the car.""You're dead!" Jenna snapped angrily.Sean chuckled again, "Okay, you asked for it." With a nod, he ordered his bodyguards. "Put her in the trunk!"Of course, it didn't take his bodyguards long to throw Jenna's body into the trunk and lock it from the outside.The ride was long and agonizin

Jenna placed the poisoned drink on the table in front of Sean, "May you die quickly and go to hell! She prayed silently.But it seemed that God still wanted Sean alive, because the man didn't seem interested in touching the drink. Instead, his eyes fell on Jenna and he looked at her sharply."Sit down." He snapped his fingers, then looked at the seat next to him.Jenna's entire body jerked at such an arrogant command. Unconscious hatred flashed in her eyes. How dare he order me like that? She mused.Another waitress nervously pushed her to sit down, obeying Sean's request, so Jenna was forced to sit next to him."What's your name?" Sean stared at her intently. Not even a glance at the drinks on his table.Jenna was prepared for this question, her pseudonym, "Sarah," she answered stiffly.Sean frowned at her intently, then his fingers suddenly reached out and pulled Jenna's chin closer so he could study her face closely, "I've never seen your face here before.""Uh... she... she's our

The hustle and bustle made Jenna roll her eyes. She didn't like this crowded, stifling atmosphere. What she wanted was her room, a quiet and peaceful room where she could sit and read while listening to soft music.But this extremely loud music was almost beyond her tolerance. She wanted to leave this place, but she couldn't, because that man, that evil man, according to the sources she had heard, would be coming to this place soon.Jenna tried to pull down her short black skirt, which was beginning to feel uncomfortable. This waitress uniform was extremely uncomfortable, with the cleavage so low and the skirt so short, Jenna felt like she was being forced to pretend to be someone she didn't know. Her eyes narrowed again. "I really do look like a slut," she sighed, then a noise from the direction of the entrance distracted her, her eyes searched and there he was... The man was there, and he was surrounded by so many burly bodyguards. Jenna unconsciously snorted. "Well, since he's a

Calvin came out of his room, probably because he heard Claire's scream, while the others knew they could not interfere."Dad?" Calvin greeted his father. "What happened? Why is Aunt Claire screaming?""I had a quarrel with her," Jason answered honestly. "You don't want her to leave, do you? So don't try to help her out of the room this time!"Calvin hesitated for a moment before nodding."Good. Go back to your room," his father ordered, and Calvin went back to his room without saying anything more.Claire's screams could no longer be heard as she collapsed exhausted on the floor next to the bed. She hugged herself as she shivered and cried. She looked around. What if there was another fire? What if she couldn't get out of here while the fire consumed the entire building?Just then, someone opened the door and walked in. It was Jason.Claire ran to him immediately. "Jason, please... don't lock me in. Don't keep the door locked. I promise... I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going anywhe

"I am human too. I can feel pain and sadness," Claire said. It was the first time she had ever broken down and cried in front of Jason and looked so weak.The woman cried like a battered child. "Why are you doing this to me, what have I done wrong?"But Claire was not Alice, and even if she cried with all the sadness she had long harbored, she would not win Jason's heart, because in his eyes, Claire's tears were nothing more than a tool to gain sympathy.Claire looked at his cold and indifferent expression and suddenly realized that her tears were just a joke.She could cry in front of anyone, but not in front of this man.Suddenly, Claire laughed, her tear-stained face smiling brightly. "I almost forgot, you never believed my tears, so it seems my fake crying didn't work on you."Jason's hands slowly tightened at her sides and Claire could clearly feel his anger growing."Even if that's true, do you think I care?" he asked. "Even if you don't want me to touch you while I'm imagining

When Jason held her hand, what surprised Claire was that her hand felt very warm. Oh no, it was not just warm, his body temperature was extremely hot and definitely abnormal."Jason..." She looked intently at the man on the bed again, and only then did she notice the unnatural flush in his cheeks.Jason probably had a fever.With that thought, Claire used her other hand to check his forehead.When she did, she pulled her hand back in surprise.His fever was very high."Don't leave me. Don't go." Jason muttered as he pulled Claire's hand tightly, repeating the words over and over.He must have thought that she was Alice.Claire tried to pull her hand away, but Jason's grip was so strong that her struggle was futile.She happened to see his cell phone on the nightstand, and with great difficulty she tried to grab it, then used Jason's index finger to unlock it, then found Theo's number and called him.No one answered the first time, so she tried again.It was after midnight and she didn

When Claire walked into Jason's room, the man was leaning against the bed, his face looking more tired than yesterday, his lips more dry and cracked, he looked weak.Claire stood outside the door for a long time, waiting for Jason to throw her out, but he didn't say anything, just kept looking at something on his phone, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.Claire thought she could leave quietly, but that seemed wrong, so she said: "Turns out you're already better than yesterday."Jason looked at her. "You came early in the morning to see if I was dead or not, right?"Hoping Jason would chase her away, Claire deliberately baited him, "Yes, but unfortunately God didn't hear my inner screams and let you live a healthy life."Jason's eyes narrowed and his jaw clenched in annoyance.Claire pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Okay, I guess you don't want to see me either, so I'd better go, okay?" she said hopefully."Stay here!" Jason said casually, then his attention returned to h

As Claire passes Jason's office, she overhears Mandy provoking Jason by suggesting that Claire had a secret meeting with Gabriel and that they looked very intimate."Are you stalking me?" Claire angrily opened the door.At that moment, Mandy was apparently at the table preparing the food she had brought for Jason.When she saw Claire, her face darkened.Claire looked at Jason, smiled and said to Mandy, "Are you so interested in my life that you know where I am and what I'm doing? You even know that I met with Gabriel just to talk about the rumors.""Of course I care, you are my sister." Mandy said with a fake smile.Claire smiled in disgust. "But your expression is really fake and too obvious. Even though Gabriel and I tried to cover ourselves with jackets and masks, even hats, these clothes are not the clothes I usually wear, but you still recognized us. What excuse can you make unless you were following us?"Mandy was a little angry, but she couldn't get angry in front of Jason.Thi

Claire unconsciously fell asleep, and when she woke up, she found Theo sitting next to her bed.The man closed the magazine he was reading and said with a smile, "If I hadn't notice you, I would have thought you were dead."Claire didn't say anything. She had just gotten up to sit down and still felt resentment in her heart because of the previous problem.Theo knew what she was thinking. He sighed, "Actually, you don't have to argue with Jason. If you behave well in front of him, you will at least have a chance to survive. I've told you that many times, haven't I?"Claire smiled ironically. "And I've also told you many times that I don't want to do that, right?"Theo said with a serious face, "Your illness is getting worse and I think you could die in less than a year. So you'd better beg Jason. I mean... I'm willing to help you get better for free, but medicine and medical equipment and all your treatments cost a lot of money. And the fastest way to get that kind of money is if Jaso
