The woman's fair skin was as soft as silk, and her plump chest was tightly wrapped in a black-laced bra. She had such an impressive figure that even this man, who had hooked up with many women, had to admit that she was among the most attractive ones.Although the woman's actions could ignite his arousal, she was far too inexperienced. If a grown man like him was enticed by such a young woman, his desire would inevitably grow out of control. With a hard tug, he broke free from the rope on his left hand and successfully untied the other one on his feet."Tell me, who are you?" He turned over, pinned the young woman tightly beneath him, and questioned her coldly.He held a very special status, and countless people wanted him dead. If someone had bad intentions, it wasn't impossible for them to get a woman to seduce him and then entrap him from there.The woman looked at the man above her in shock. Damn! Why were those ropes so flimsy?"I…I'm a special employee in this bar…" Before s
Her impressive figure was laid before him. The tip of his tongue circled around the peak of her chest, licking lightly, causing the young woman below to let out a scream."You're terrible…" She wasn't a girl anymore. She had become a real woman, and there was even a hint of defiance in her soft moans. She had to endure the pain below. As she only had this one chance, the results had to be the best.The young woman's long, blonde hair was messily splayed on the white pillow. The sight was both beautiful and alluring. The man felt an uncontrollable desire for her, and his want grew more intense."Oh…Ah…" Gradually, that stinging pain turned into a spark that ignited her entire body. No longer able to control herself, she let out a whine. As they moved as one, their bouts of passion lasted for dozens of minutes, slowing down a little occasionally. She wrapped her arms around his neck once more and kissed him affectionately. Even if it hurt so much, she still had to achieve her goal.T
The small black backpack on his back swung around as he ran. As he stood neatly beside Scarlett with his tiny legs, the height difference between the two of them was very obvious."Did you do this, Lucas?" Scarlett lowered her sunglasses slightly, looking at the group of reporters not far away."No." Lucas put his hand on his heart, swearing to his mother that he didn't tip off the reporters, who were here for them. Scarlett looked at her precious son skeptically. She didn't even tell her father about her return to Atville. Who would believe that this little boy wasn't the one who spilled the secret?"I'm telling the truth, Miss Langston." Lucas put his hand on his waist, pouting in protest. "If you don't want to be swamped by a bunch of work the day after your return, I suggest we run away right now."When she was in Amerstica, she was overwhelmed by mountains of work. If she took on this many cases upon her return, she would probably go crazy. "We run in three, two, one…Go!" S
"Then, what are we going to do? Every model is going up on stage in a while, so who is going to replace Monica?" As soon as Lucas brought Scarlett backstage, he heard the voice of a boss chiding a subordinate."This place isn't safe either. We'd better get out of here as soon as possible," Scarlett urged the little boy."She can replace Monica." Instead of leaving with Scarlett, Lucas pushed her toward the lady boss."Hm…" The woman looked at Scarlett's figure, giving her body a once-over. Scarlett had a figure that suited the standards of a model. If life hadn't forced her to become a lawyer, she would have chosen to be an international supermodel. "Miss, the host is already rushing us." The lady boss was desperate to find someone else, so she could only get Scarlett to be the replacement."I'll remember this, Lucas." Scarlett was forced into the dressing room by several wardrobe assistants. Lucas shrugged his shoulders, acting as if he had no choice."Next, please enjoy the
"Why on earth did you people let some random woman wear the wedding dress I designed?" Jonathan's expression changed, and he spoke in a chilly tone with gritted teeth. "Fredrick!" He looked at Scarlett, who was showing such disrespect for the wedding dress he designed, and became so angry that his tone turned a few degrees colder."I…" Fredrick Myers was Jonathan's personal assistant. The latter had entrusted him with such an important matter, but he messed it up instead."Mr. Leonard, Dusk Skyline really lives up to its name. I believe Leonard Corporations will top this year's annual clothing sales again," the businessman next to Jonathan quickly flattered him.Fredrick signaled to the models on the stage to assist Scarlett, and they escorted her to the very front of the stage. In a moment of panic, Scarlett couldn't maintain her footing in her high heels and fell to the ground with a thud. It was so embarrassing.The entire audience was dismayed. The fashion show was going stro
"I'm too young to see this." Lucas covered both of his eyes once again. If it weren't for the fact that the man had helped his mother earlier, he would have rushed up the stage in front of those reporters and given him hell."That's Scarlett Langston, a world-renowned lawyer." A reporter in the audience suddenly pointed out Scarlett's identity."Mr. Leonard, did you say that she's your exclusive model? Then, judging by how you've kissed Miss Langston and even made her wear this dress, is there something going on between you two?""Are you two together?""Miss Langston came straight here the moment she landed in Catheden. Since she's your special guest, why didn't you send a car to pick her up?" One after another, the reporters started asking questions that were on point.Jonathan stared at the woman beside him, listening to the reporters' questions. For a moment, the whole situation baffled him.Scarlett Langston, the famous lawyer in Amerstica, was actually from Catheden. Jonath
Such a coincidence couldn't be possible, could it? "Oh, God, please don't let him remember me. Please."As she lifted her skirt, her high heels caught the hem and tore the skirt in two, causing the orange diamonds to fall to the ground with a clink. She regretfully stared at the scattered diamonds and the dress she had ruined. Jonathan didn't say anything, and this frightened her more than if he did. His cold demeanor was like a sword piercing through her chest, and the air between them was filled with a sense of danger. “I…I didn't mean to...” She could pay damages. She knew this dress was one of a kind, but she was willing to compensate.“A special employee,” he suddenly said. She only gulped and didn't dare to answer him.“An exclusive model and a world-renowned lawyer,” he added immediately after, citing two more of her supposed identities. “Who on earth are you?”“You…You got the wrong person. I'm not…” Oh, no, this man wasn't dumb at all. It had been six years, and even
"Fine. Who wants your wedding dress anyway?" Scarlett was still angry, and she pulled the straps of the dress off her shoulders without hesitation. When she exposed her fair skin, she realized she wasn't wearing anything other than this man's wedding dress.Almost all the employees of Leonard's company were nearby, and they got excited when they saw a beautiful woman about to undress in public. But when they noticed Jonathan's chilling presence, they all fled."Go ahead and take it off. I'll let you leave when you're done." Jonathan strolled toward her with a provocative and mischievous smile on his face. This was the same woman who had dared to kidnap and get into bed with him. Even so, he wasn't intrigued by the prospect of her stripping in public.Scarlett raised her delicate feet, took off the crystal high heels, and put them on the ground."Sorry, I can only return these to you. Take it or leave it." She also removed the hairpin on her head and threw it on the ground."They'r
Scarlett knew there was no real solution to the problem between her and Jonathan. The both of them were just choosing to ignore what had happened between them.There was nothing left for them to do to fix what had been broken.Until now, she still felt as if she was in a dream. Was she really married to Jonathan? Was she really living with him in such a lavish house? She found it hard to wrap her mind around it because it was all so surreal.The warm water in the tub sloshed gently over her body, and she felt her eyelids droop. These few days have been tough, and she hadn't been able to sleep well. All she wanted to do was fall asleep in this tub. If she were any less rational than she was right now, she probably would've just fallen asleep in the tub.Scarlett changed into a simple set of pajamas after her bath, completely ignoring the sexy lingerie set that Jonathan had picked out for her. She could probably wear that lingerie set if she were alone but she couldn't possibly w
Jonathan's tone was loving and teasing, and she was immediately transported back to the carefree times she had spent with Jonathan at university. Back then, they didn't have much to worry about and could just enjoy dating each other without reality holding them back."Have you had breakfast? I'm making breakfast right now. Do you want some?" Scarlett asked."No, thank you. I don't like eating in the morning. You can go ahead and enjoy your breakfast," Jonathan replied. Jonathan never got into the habit of eating breakfast; after he went overseas, he had less reason to have breakfast. As such, he never ate breakfast anymore. After Scarlett had finished her food, Jonathan drove them to city hall to sign the necessary documents for their marriage.The entire time, Scarlett felt as if she were in a dream. Everything that was happening seemed so surrea. The absurdity of the events and the fact that she had not slept well in two days only made her more dazed. Scarlett hadn't realize
Scarlett immediately understood what he was trying to say and bashfully lowered her gaze. Since when had he become so sleazy? Going overseas had done nothing to teach him to be a better man. Scarlett didn't know how to answer him, so she stared silently at the ground. Suddenly, she thought of something and raised her head to say, "Jonathan, I have to tell you something. I can marry you, but you must promise me one thing. We won't have a wedding ceremony."Jonathan was upset by that suggestion, and he huffed, "What? No ceremony? Are you planning on just getting married in secret? Is it that embarrassing to be married to me? Is that why you don't want a ceremony? If you don't want to marry me, just tell me! You don't have to do all this to show how reluctant you are to marry me!" Jonathan had no idea what was going on in her head. What woman would outright refuse to have a wedding ceremony? Any woman would love to have a grand ceremony to celebrate her marriage, but now that Sca
Just then, Scarlett heard someone call her name from behind her, "Scarlett?"Scarlett turned in confusion and realized that it was the school counselor. She never expected to see him here, and her heart was filled with warmth at the sight of him. She hadn't seen him since graduating, so she didn't think he would still remember her. She hastily wiped the tears from her face before greeting him with a brilliant smile, "Mr. Brown! Why are you here?""I had nothing to do today, so I thought I would drop by to play basketball. How's work? Why aren't you here with Jonathan? I can't believe it's been a year already. Time really flies … I still remember when Jonathan would play basketball, and you would cheer for him from the sidelines. I miss all of you, so come by with Jonathan next time! By the way, don't forget to send me a wedding invitation when both of you get married. After all, I've got my eye on both of you, and I'm sure you will end up together. I remember how nice Jonathan trea
"Hey! What are you doing? Are you going home now?" Scarlett asked."Of course! Where else would I go? Didn't we just break up? Why are you calling me again? Don't tell me that you miss me already!" Teresa's voice which was filled with glee, came from the other end of the receiver. Hearing her voice made Scarlett feel much better than before, but Scarlett was worried that she would no longer be so happy after Scarlett tells her the truth. She didn't want her problems to affect the lives of those around her. Since she made a mistake, she would be the one to bear responsibility, and no one else should have to suffer because of her … especially not her best friend.Scarlett hesitated before asking, " Teresa, do you like your job?""What's not to like? I love it! Being a teacher is my dream! My students are obedient and understanding. My job also gives me a sense of accomplishment! Why are you asking me this now? I've told you before that my dream is to be one of the best teachers in
As she spoke, Scarlett attempted to push Jonathan away, but he was too strong. She couldn't fight back at all. She felt like a fragile child in front of Jonathan, and he could crush her into pieces with just a little force. Jonathan leaned in and whispered coldly, "Do you think I’m still as compliant as before, allowing you to push me away repeatedly? Let me tell you, I’m not the same. How well do you think you know me? Let me make it clear, I will get what I want, including you!" Scarlett sensed the threat in Jonathan's words and looked at this unfamiliar man with some caution. She asked cautiously, "Jonathan, are you threatening me? What exactly do you mean? Why don't you just tell me instead of playing games? My time is not free, so let me go if you won't talk. I still have to work tomorrow." Scarlett was truly exhausted at this moment. Listening to her colleagues discuss Jonathan in the office had already put her on edge. After work, she spent so much time walking aroun
Jonathan did not take her comments to heart and continued coldly, "You came home quite late, Scarlett. It seems like you've learned to enjoy life more now, huh? Weren't you just a bookworm before? Why are you so late today? You've changed a lot after starting work and made more friends, huh? Tell me, who were you out having dinner with just now? A colleague? Your boss? Or is it your boyfriend? Whoever it is, it seems like he takes good care of you, and since you were having so much fun with him, why bother coming back home in the evening?" Scarlett could hardly believe the cruel words that came from his mouth. When did Jonathan become so heartless? Although he could be a bit carefree before, he would never say such things to her. In Scarlett's eyes, Jonathan had always been gentle and caring, completely different from the person uttering these words now. Scarlett felt infuriated and couldn't help defending herself, "It's not what you think! I was just having a cup of coffee with
The two best friends chatted, and before they knew it, time had passed as they enjoyed their coffee. Soon, night fell, and the sky that was once adorned with the setting sun was now full of twinkling stars. It was beautiful, but it also reminded Scarlett of the day she parted ways with Jonathan. That day was just like today, a beautiful night with bright stars. However, things had changed, and she could never sit here and talk with Jonathan as she did that day. Teressa noticed the shift in mood from across the table. After hesitating, Teresa couldn't help but speak up, "Scarlett, Jonathan ... He's coming back soon." Teresa didn’t know the details of Scarlett and Jonathan’s relationship, but she knew they went on a trip together during their final year while everyone was looking for internships. It was quite sudden since Scarlett barely hung out with Jonathan. Then, there were rumors that they were dating, but Jonathan went abroad to study soon after, and Scarlett never menti
Scarlett sighed heavily at these words. “Yeah, there’s no way our small magazine can get an interview with the great Jonathan Leonard. Only those major news outlets have the qualifications for that. It’s his first time returning to the country after going abroad, so this is big news. The media would be busy with this, but it’s certainly not for us to handle.” Just then, the editor-in-chief of the office suddenly appeared. He must have overheard their discussions outside and sternly said, “Am I paying you to gossip around? You’re all good for nothing. You’re all itching to gossip now that I’ve eased up on you?” Once he roared, everyone fell silent. They either looked down at their computers or pretended to be busy with their work. No one responded to him. Who dared to oppose the editor? His words were final. However, Scarlett, who had always disliked this editor, felt grateful to him at this moment. She thanked him silently for saving her from her colleague’s gossiping. This wa
