2025-02-19 15:02:25From the start, many people have noticed Emerald's natural beauty. If she were just a bit taller, she could easily become a model or beauty queen. It's true that not everything is given to you by God. This is all thanks to her mother, Esperanza Greene. In addition to Emerald’s natural beauty, Esperanza has been carefully training her since childhood. Nowadays, Emerald has a delicate figure and a sultry voice that have left a deep impression on Alaric over time.
Emerald noticed that Alaric had been walking a long distance while still carrying her, so she tugged at his collar. Alaric tilted his head to look at her.
“Where are we going? Aren’t you going to take me back to the apartment?” she asked him cautiously.
He smirked and continued walking.

This reality was far from what she told her mother. When her mother asked how she could afford the unit with her modest salary, Emerald lied and said that Ethan had given it to her—a claim that only angered her mother, Esperanza, further. With so many beautiful condo units in the city, Ethan had only given her a small one.The Florida family was well-known in the city’s business industry, but they still couldn’t compete with the truly wealthy families in the country. They were considered a second-class family. Although Ethan had wanted to buy the unit for Emerald, she refused to accept it because she didn’t want to owe anything to someone like him.Besides, she knew from the start that Ethan wasn’t the one she’d end up with. From the way Ethan had secretly watched his half-sister Samantha when they first met, Emerald knew thi

Alaric directly reached out and pulled out her legs. Because she was a little shy, her toes were curled up, making her look very cute.“Why are you nervous? I had already touched and tasted every inch of you, right?” Alaric chuckled which made Emerald roll her eyes while her face was still heating up.He pinched her slender white ankles and massaged her rough fingertips in circles, one after another, gently and patiently. Seeing his hand moving higher and higher, it stopped at the knee. There were still bruises on the knee from the previous knock, which was in sharp contrast with the skin next to it.Emerald wasn’t sure what Alaric was planning to do when he suddenly lifted her knee. Her eyes widened in surprise as he gently kissed the bruise on each of her knees.

Instead of heading to the bed, Alaric took her to the terrace. As soon as he set her down, the cool breeze greeted her. The curtains danced in the strong wind, instantly cooling her down and easing the heat she had felt.From the terrace, they could see the city lights. If she could, Emerald would wish for the night to never end, as she was genuinely enjoying this moment with Alaric and didn’t want it to be over.Emerald was about to get up when Alaric held her shoulders down and pushed her back down.“What are you doing? I’m going inside…” she mumbled weakly as Alaric suddenly bent down. Their faces almost touched again. Emerald’s heart pounded wildly, but she also felt embarrassed when she saw that Alaric was simply reaching for his phone on the nearby table.

Alaric pinched Emerald’s waist tightly. “Emerald, stop it. I know what you’re doing…”He smirked, though internally he was furious. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her body closer to his. Emerald leaned against him, her breath hot and heavy in his ear.“Really? Can you tell me what it’s about… inside? It’s kind of windy here…” Emerald was surprised by the intense flirtation in her own voice.“Damn you…” Alaric muttered. In an instant, he stood up, lifting her effortlessly.She wrapped her legs around Alaric's waist until she felt the soft bed beneath her. One leg was bent, and her bathrobe hung loosely from her shoulders. She stretched out her leg, hooking her toes into the string of his robe, sending a clear invitation.Alaric stood by the bed, gazing down at her with a cool expression. There was no desire in his deep eyes, not what Emerald had expected. It wasn't the reaction she had hoped for from her actions.How could this be? How could he be indifferent when eve

“Being intimate in some special places can enhance the interest of two people. Why don’t you try to flirt with me in a public place, Miss Greene?” His voice was full of demonic temptation, as if he was trying to pull Emerald into the abyss of darkness.Emerald felt uneasy, unsure of what Alaric had in store for her. The way he could make her understand complex things with just a simple word always left her wondering. She couldn't grasp why everything seemed clearer when he was the one explaining it.“Shall I just follow your method and end our relationship when you are satisfied?” Emerald asked, trying to keep her voice steady.“Yes…” Alaric answered her directly, without hesitation.“Fine, but learn to be content,” she warned him, though she couldn’t help but feel nervous. She had no idea what he was planning—where they would go, what they would do, or how long this would last.Alaric's eyes flashed with a hint of triumph as he leaned closer to her ear.“Dress up tomorrow night, and

Alaric was dressed in a black suit and leather shoes, sitting comfortably in the backseat. He wasn't doing anything in particular, but his presence was so commanding that anyone who encountered him would be struck by his appeal. He looked extremely formal, with not a wrinkle in sight on his clothes. Emerald thought he might have just come from work, but he appeared as fresh as if he had just stepped out of the house.Alaric’s entire demeanor exuded a coldness that kept strangers at a distance, especially his stern expression, making him seem even more unattainable. Emerald assumed Iris was sitting in the passenger seat, but she was startled when Iris spoke from behind her."Em, get in. We can't leave with you just standing there," her friend urged, suddenly pushing her inside.“Iris—!” Emerald lost her balance, tripping on her heels, and ended up falling straight into the backseat, landing on Alaric’s chest. She grabbed onto his chest in fear of falling further, inadvertently pulling

Angered, Yvo sped up without hesitation. The area was already quite spacious, but Emerald wasn’t paying attention. Without a seatbelt on, she was instantly thrown off balance. It was too late to grab the armrest, so she closed her eyes and braced herself, bumping into Alaric's arms.The faint scent of cedar from his body filled her nose as Alaric took the opportunity to hold her waist and steady her. In her panic, Emerald clung tightly to Alaric.She suddenly remembered her dream from the night before.In the dream, just like now, she was held tightly in Alaric’s arms. In the darkness, the man’s hands roamed up and down her body. Thinking about what he said, inappropriate thoughts began to flood Emerald’s mind for no apparent reason.She seemed to forget that Iris and Yvo were sitting right in front of them. All she could feel was Alaric’s hand on her waist growing hotter and hotter. He wasn’t even doing anything, but Emerald’s breathing became faster and faster…Emerald wished her bo

In the midst of the darkness surrounding them, Alaric slowly lifted Emerald and pulled her onto his lap. Emerald gasped in surprise. She was facing away from him, still in shock, until Alaric wrapped one arm around her waist, clasped her chin with the other, and kissed her from the side.“You can moan quietly, baby…” Alaric whispered in her ear before deepening the torrid kiss.Although they had explored many positions in bed, this was the first time they found themselves in such an intimate position in a car. Her blouse was thin, and her skirt was short, so she could feel the heat of Alaric's body searing through her skin. The firm muscles of his chest pressing against her back and his strong thighs beneath her only intensified the heat coursing through her body. It spread rapidly from her face down to her feet, as if she were being consumed by fire.When Emerald tried to pull away from the intoxicating kiss, Alaric only deepened it, as if he wanted to drown her in the sensation.

Not like me, Emerald mused. She never felt secure enough to sleep without holding onto something—whether it was a pillow, a blanket, or, more recently, him.And somehow, even in sleep, he had adjusted for her.One of his arms was tucked behind her head, holding her close, while his other hand covered hers. Their fingers overlapped perfectly, their wedding rings touching, as if even unconscious, he was anchoring her to him.A warmth spread through her chest.At this moment, with the rippling water around them and the morning sun casting a golden hue over the lotus pond, Emerald felt something profound settle in her heart.So this… this is what it feels like to be loved.Maybe it was because Alaric had been too busy lately, or perhaps it was the novelty of spending the night on a boat with Emerald in his arms, but his sleep was deeper and more restful than usual.The sun had already begun its slow ascent, casting thousands of golden rays across the morning sky. As the light filtered thr

Although Apollo already had two daughters, the Corrigan patriarch favored Alaric. Still, if a son was born first, the old master would undoubtedly take notice.Apollo exhaled sharply. "Then focus on raising your child properly and stay out of these matters. And as for you, Ethan, stop causing trouble for your uncle. Whether or not Emerald marries into the Corrigan—it’s up to the two of them to figure out.""I understand, Uncle," Ethan murmured, his eyes lowering.A flicker of regret crossed his face. The humiliation he suffered tonight—he would make sure to repay it tenfold.Meanwhile, Emerald was in an unusually good mood. She had always been indifferent to such things, but tonight, for the first time, she understood just how satisfying it was to put someone in their place."Aric, I never realized how useful your girlfriend's identity could be," she teased.Alaric caught the playful smile on her lips and smirked. "Baby, trust me—being Mrs. Corrigan is even more powerful than being my

Emerald’s lips curved into the faintest smirk. "Because you never saw me as your girlfriend. No matter how sweet you acted on the surface, deep down, you always treated me like a plaything. But he never did. He knows how to respect a woman.""That’s impossible." Ethan's expression darkened. "There’s no such man in the world. He’s just better at pretending than I am. Don’t be naive, Emerald."Emerald crossed her arms, her voice steady and deliberate. “You’re the naive one. You have no idea how good Alaric is. Even if it were only for three days, I would still choose to like him. Didn’t you say I could never step foot into the Corrigan? Mark my words—one day, I’ll marry into the Corrigan, and you’ll kneel before me, serve me tea, and call me ‘Auntie.’”Ethan wanted to laugh—it sounded ridiculous.But coming from Emerald, it was terrifying.Because he knew exactly what kind of person she was.She was relentless, a natural at anything she put her mind to.Years ago, someone had insulted h

Apollo, standing beside her, felt a headache coming on. His second marriage was already a calculated move, an attempt to secure a foothold in the powerful Corrigan. But now, before Cornelia could even settle into her new position, she had already offended the future head of the household.And Alaric… was not a man who let things slide.No one spoke.No one dared to.Because everyone knew—when Alaric smiled like that, the storm was only just beginning.But Alaric hadn’t just come to dinner tonight—he had come to make a point.And he made sure the Florida understood that.“That’s impossible,” Alaric said lightly, his fingers still resting against the necklace on Emerald’s collarbone. His tone was casual, but his eyes were anything but.“Teacher Greene has fair skin, a beautiful face, and legs that could make anyone jealous. Even women envy her. Whoever had the nerve to say such nonsense must be blind.”The room tensed. Cornelia turned her gaze to Ethan, her voice laced with artificial s

Emerald, however, found it amusing. Alaric, who was usually so arrogant around her, was now acting all proper in front of his family.“Oh? That’s funny. Sister-in-law didn’t say that before,” Emerald remarked casually, immediately drawing Apollo’s attention.“Oh? You’ve met before?” Apollo asked, surprised. After all, Cornelia hadn’t known Emerald for long, and she worried that Emerald might not like the gift she had prepared.“Yes,” Emerald replied.Before she could say more, Cornelia quickly cut in, afraid that Emerald might bring up what had happened at the boutique earlier.“I ran into Teacher Greene at the counter today,” she explained hurriedly. “I didn’t realize she was Alaric’s girlfriend at the time. If I had known… I would’ve let her choose for herself.”As she spoke, she took out an entire set of pink diamond jewelry. The vivid pink diamonds alone were worth over ten thousand yuan each, and the set featured intricate inlay designs—clearly an expensive and carefully chosen g

He pressed the accelerator just in time, sending the car speeding forward.Emerald couldn’t help but stare at him—suited up and in leather shoes. Her heart raced. This man was undeniably charming."Aric, the rain has stopped, and the flowers in the lotus pond are blooming. Would you like to go see them with me?"Alaric, not quite catching her drift, answered in a low voice, "...Okay."As her mind wandered, imagining what the evening might bring, she noticed they had arrived at a villa.Meanwhile, Apollo's family was in a rush. Although Apollo was over ten years older than Alaric, he always felt wary of his quiet, cold cousin.Apollo was the center of attention—he had grown up overcoming challenges and was now well-positioned to take the lead in the Corrigan. With his sharp mind, impressive background, and carefully calculated moves, he was poised to replace the old man.Today’s dinner had been moved up, and the family was scrambling to prepare. They’d urgently called Cornelia Florida,

The salesgirl who had brought her upstairs rushed to smooth things over. “Mrs. Corrigan, please don’t be upset. You’re still pregnant, and stress isn’t good for you. I’ve already checked on the bracelet you ordered—it should arrive within two days.”Caroline waved a hand impatiently. “The issue isn’t the bracelet—it’s her.” She scoffed and turned to the gathered onlookers. “Do you even know who she is? Her mother was a mistress—”The room went silent as every eye turned toward Emerald. Before she could react, Iris, who had been quietly munching on macarons, suddenly leaped to her feet.“You’re pregnant, so maybe try being a decent human for your baby’s sake?” she snapped. “You might want to be careful—karma has a funny way of dealing with people like you.”"Who the hell are you? Dressed like a scavenger—are you made of wood? Why don’t you sweep these two pieces of trash out of here?""Aunt, who upset you?" A deep voice suddenly broke in—Ethan.When he spotted Emerald standing not far

He had seen how she had broken up with Ethan all those years ago, walking away without hesitation. But back then, she hadn’t known the man’s true nature.Even after all those years together, she had left without a second thought.Would she do the same to him?His only advantage—the one thing keeping her tethered to him—was her desire for him. So he would use it.Like dangling a piece of meat in front of a greedy little cat, he would keep her wanting, keep her reaching, until she was caught in the trap he had so carefully laid.Step by step.By the time they pulled up to the garden, Emerald was no longer as composed as before.She sat in the passenger seat, waiting expectantly for him to open the door. Alaric was already reaching for her, ready to carry her out, when she stretched out her arms, eyes full of mischief.“I want a piggyback ride.”Alaric chuckled, amused by her sudden whim. He liked it when she acted spoiled."Alright, I'll carry you on my back."He turned around, and Emer

Alaric took her small hand in his, gripping it firmly as he asked, word for word, "Have you ever slept with Griffin?"Emerald blinked her big eyes, then nodded earnestly. "Slept."She started counting on her fingers before looking up and adding, "Not even once."At that moment, she finally understood what had been weighing on Alaric’s mind. Griffin and Alaric were complete opposites.On the surface, Alaric was the heir to an elite chaebol family—elegant and refined. But in reality, he had a distinct sense of style, always carrying himself with a quiet intensity.Griffin, on the other hand, came across as a gentleman, but deep down, he was still the mischievous little devil from their childhood—willing to use any trick to get his way. He was the one who taught Emerald how to climb onto rooftops and remove tiles, and how to wade into the river to catch shrimp.And now, she was sure he must have whispered something in Alaric’s ear just to stir trouble.Ever since Alaric entered her life,
