Poppy almost fell after being pushed by her personal maid. She is not used to wearing 3.5-inch heels, which are too high for her to keep her balance. Fortunately, her hand quickly grabbed the back of the sofa in the middle of the room.“I... umm...”The cold air pierced every inch of Poppy's skin. She's wearing a black mini dress with a sleeveless neckline and a bottom that hits just above her thighs. In addition, her husband's cold gaze, unaffected by her appearance, made her body quiver even more. In her heart, she regretted following Donna and Lucia's foolish plan to seduce Robin Luciano.Robin was disturbed by Poppy's unexpected presence and did not even knock on the door. He doesn't like people with bad manners entering his workroom without permission.“I...” Poppy was struggling to find the words to answer. She closed her eyes and imagined Lucia's teachings, which they had been practicing all day. However, doing so with a man who was currently standing like a solid iron statue
Poppy's mind was occupied only by Lucia's instructions to seduce him in order to stay alive. Her nervousness was immediately relieved when she smelled Robin's body scent, which numbed her mind. His voice sounded like a seductive moan. Poppy had no idea what had caused the change in her body, but she craved his touch. She stopped and gave Robin a hopeful and eager look. “Mr. Robin, please touch me....”She removed the top of her dress after receiving no response. Robin's eyes widened as she proudly displayed her bare chest. “Please touch me here...” she imitated Lucia's voice as she seduced Robin.But that wasn't enough. Poppy grasped Robin's hand and touched it passionately till it squeezed both of her breasts.“Mr. Robin, I beg you....”Robin wasn't expecting this. The woman who had always acted like a mouse in the corner, terrified, now expressed a desire to be his prey.“How dare you!”Robin's snap has no meaning for Poppy, who has been influenced by Lucia's'special medication'. L
Poppy's comments matched Lucia's instructions perfectly, as did her seductive smile and tone of voice. She should have been afraid, but her lip moved on its own, saying things she didn't want to say.“How dare you insult me!” Robin jerked faster and harder until he made her scream with pleasure.“Mr. Robin, you are incredibly powerful... but that is… not enough....”“Damn,” Robin swore softly.Poppy gasped as she felt herself being lifted. Then she tumbled down and sat firmly on Robin's lap, their lower bodies still intertwined. She suddenly felt like she was on the verge of achieving the satisfaction she craved.“Wait, sir... stop!”She pushed Robin's shoulder and lifted her lower body. Robin, on the other hand, returned her body to its original position in a single quick movement.“Ahhh... Sir!!! That's enough...” Once she was satisfied, the heat in her body gradually subsided.“Enough, you say? Who came here to seduce me, huh?”Poppy shook her head. The fear gradually returned, see
“Mr. Robin must be so excited that he won't let you leave the room for several hours. I will give you a massage.”Poppy jumped into bed right away. She appears to be in a daze, as if she has just committed a heinous crime. However, as she felt Donna's massage, she became relaxed and sleepy.“Previously, I felt like I was becoming someone else. Despite my fear of Mr. Robin, something is compelling me to do bad things.”Donna gently caressed Poppy's arm, pausing her massage for a minute. “Madam, don't worry. Everyone in love does the impossible all the time, and they are sometimes unaware of their own actions.”Poppy's half-closed eyes suddenly widened. “Who is in love with whom?”“You didn't even realize you were in love with Mr. Robin. But I can see it clearly.” Donna smiled and lied without showing any guilt.“No way! Every time I see him, my heart almost explodes. I'm afraid of Mr. Robin! Impossible if I had fallen in love with him.”“Madam...” Donna's voice softened. “Look in the l
Poppy's face turned deathly pale. She was still ashamed of what she had done yesterday. Fortunately, Robin did not enter her room that night. But this time she made another terrible mistake. Robin gritted his teeth and looked down at the agony in his manhood. Poppy's forehead smacked his hard.“How dare you! Do you mean to hurt me with your innocent act?”“I—I'm so sorry, Mr. Robin... I don’t—” Poppy moved her hand back and forth, wanting to stroke Robin's injured body but unable to.“Don't touch me!” Robin slapped her hand, which was reluctant to touch him.Poppy fell to her knees as she watched Robin walk away, cursing her. He had discovered her reading an adult novel and had his manhood smacked.“What should I do? Should I call the doctor? What if... it is broken?”Not long after that, Poppy's personal maid rushed in. Donna quickly helped Poppy up after noticing that she was on the verge of tears and had fallen to her knees.“Mr. Robin seemed angry after leaving the room. What hap
Robin's face frowned for a moment. “Crazy woman!”At thirty-one, Robin Luciano had not expected to marry such a strange and troublesome woman. When he first met Poppy, he thought she was easy to control, innocent, and didn't talk much. She also didn't look like the other women Saul Martinez sold. She had a different facial feature than the women in his country, which was ideal for fooling his grandfather.But behind her innocent, shy, and often frightened demeanor, Poppy has a mind beyond his imagination. He begins to suspect that the woman in front of him is enjoying the punishment he imposed on her some time ago.“Why should I open my trousers here?” Robin's expression stiffened, unwilling to express surprise that his wife suddenly desired him so much.“That’s…”Poppy's eyes began to swirl. She realized she had pronounced it wrong and felt extremely embarrassed. Her voice was very loud as she told Robin to unzip his trousers, as if she wanted 'something' from him by force.“That, wh
“Did you arrive alone?” Poppy wanted to ask Antonio about Robin's whereabouts, but she was too embarrassed to say so.Antonio appeared to understand the implication of her question. He then responded, “Mr. Robin is still preparing for the nightclub's opening, ma'am.”The excitement of anticipation increased, but it was accompanied by anxiety. She recalled Robin's nightclub and Saul's captives, the attractive, upper-class women her husband had purchased.Her chest tightened as a thought crossed her mind, ‘Is he having so much fun with these women that he doesn't want to leave? Or is it possible that he is looking for someone to replace me because I keep making mistakes?’“Is there anything you need?” Antonio's question jolted Poppy out of her bad thoughts, though they hadn't completely left her mind and heart.“Nothing ....”“All right. If you need anything, you can find me in the first-floor study.”Poppy opened her mouth slightly as Antonio was about to leave. She wanted to know, ‘Is
Poppy couldn't sleep until morning because she kept thinking about that girl. Robin didn't come to her room either, which made her nervous and unable to sleep, wondering what they were doing after entering the mansion in the middle of the night.This morning's atmosphere in the dining room was very different than usual. Poppy usually ate alone, but this time Robin joined her for breakfast. However, another person had joined them. She was the same girl who was seen with Robin last night.‘How come she's here?’ Poppy's mind was perplexed and restless, her gaze fixed on the food on the plate, which was only being played with by the cutlery in her hand.Poppy still remembered her. She attempted to save that girl and escape from Solterra Island together.When she saw the transport ship approaching that night, Poppy tried to run away with one of Saul's new captives. The girl nearly lost her chastity as she continued to resist, and Poppy eventually outwitted Saul's men and escaped the buildi
“How dare you bring up my past?” Robin snapped, his angry look clearly visible.Capri was truly frightened of upsetting him. But he also had a great desire to help Poppy recover from her trauma. He had a daughter that was the same age as her. When he saw Robin Luciano's wife in distress, he couldn't just stand by and watch.“I apologize, sir, but please think about what I am saying. If Mrs. Poppy's mental condition improves, you will benefit as well.”“Get—” Robin was going to dismiss the chatty Capri, but the doctor hadn't completed what he needed to say.“I'm sure Mr. Dante is still dubious of your unexpected marriage. You may be able to make a valid argument for replacing Mrs. Poppy as your wife, but Mr. Dante will undoubtedly get more suspicious.”When Capri observed Robin's uncommon reaction in response to his critiques, he added, “You don't want the great plan you've been looking forward to for so long to fail just because you don't want to do anything frivolous for Mrs. Poppy,
Antonio and the doctor walked into the same room as Robin a moment later.“Sir, I will prepare medicine for Mrs. Poppy.” Antonio said goodbye and led out the man who had spoken with Robin.Capri watched them leave, then sat on a chair near Robin after Antonio closed the door.“Why are you looking for me? If you want to talk nonsense about my wife, you should leave immediately.”Capri ignored Robin's offensive words because he was used to hearing them. “Forgive me if this is a presumptuous question, but where did you meet Mrs. Poppy, sir?”Robin gave Capri a critical look. “You know it's presumptuous, yet you dare to ask?!”Doctor Capri was indeed trustworthy. However, Poppy's background should not have been revealed while she was still his wife. Only those who worked at the mansion were permitted to know the true facts.“In any case, sir, I need to know so that I can provide appropriate treatment. Mrs. Poppy is not in good condition.”Robin's curiosity was piqued after hearing about P
Poppy's body was shaking. Flashbacks to the events of the previous four years on Solterra Island filled her mind.The scars on her body from Saul Martinez's anger appeared to reopen. The sensation of being beaten and whipped for no apparent reason sent shivers down her spine.Robin's presence and manner of speaking, which always put her under pressure, worsened the trauma. Her chest tightened, and she struggled to breathe properly, as if the oxygen around her had vanished.In the end, only the tense darkness surrounded her....Poppy collapsed to the floor when Robin turned away to talk to Antonio on the phone. His wife, who was about to be returned to her place of origin, became unconscious.Robin froze for a moment before ordering Antonio, “Come here quickly! This troublesome woman fainted in my office!”‘But wait, did she really faint?’ Robin started to smell something fishy.He turned the phone off and crouched down to see if she was just acting. He lightly slapped her on the cheek
Poppy's complexion instantly turned deathly pale. Her soul seemed to leave her body because she was too afraid to confront the man in front of her.Robin ordered, “Stand up and follow me.”Poppy's body suddenly weakened as she forced her legs to move. The world around her seemed to spin, and she sensed that her actions would result in a real punishment, one that could endanger her life. She never expected Robin to find the contraceptive pills she had hidden so carefully before she made other plans to free herself from her dangerous contract with Robin Luciano.“Read it!” Robin Luciano's deep, firm voice brought Poppy to her senses.Poppy realized she had followed Robin into the first-floor study. She quickly picked up the paper on the table that her husband had shown her. Her hands trembling, especially since Robin was still standing with his arms crossed in front of his chest, staring intently at her.“Read the fourth clause aloud!” Robin demanded another stern response.“The second
Poppy's frown deepened. Her face was filled with panic.“Why isn't it there? Did Donna clean the bathroom while I wasn't there?”Poppy shook her head slowly. She'd made it clear that Donna didn't have to clean her en suite bathroom. She often told Donna not to clean her room before going to bed.The maid only collected dirty rags, while Poppy did the majority of the cleaning. Donna was also pleased to reduce her workload upon her request.“Impossible... I clearly placed it here....”A knock on the door sounded.“Are you asleep in there? I do not have much time to wait for you.”Poppy was startled by Robin's heavy, firm voice. She swiftly pulled her hand from underneath the towel cabinet, slightly scratching the pointed corner of the bottom of the cupboard.“Ugh...” Poppy groaned and rubbed her forearm. The scratch turned her white skin a bit red.She ignored the scratches on her hand's skin before rushing out with a pregnancy test kit.“Here, Mr—” Poppy almost addressed Robin as sir i
Poppy gasped as she heard the soft creak of the door behind her. She turned back, wiping her tears away.“Who's there?”There was no single answer. However, Poppy was certain she heard someone step away.She scrambled to her feet, then staggered and nearly fell. Her legs tingled from kneeling so long. Fortunately, her hands acted spontaneously to support her body.“Rafael?” Poppy called softly.After the tingling in her legs subsided, she dashed towards the door. Her gaze darted to the left and right along the corridor, but she didn’t see anyone.“I'm sure I heard someone walking fast out of this place,” she muttered, puzzled.Donna could be seen emerging from another room at the opposite end of the corridor. Poppy waved at her personal maid, who was patting her mouth while yawning loudly.“Donna, come here!” Poppy exclaimed.Donna rushed up to her mistress. “Could I help you, ma'am?”“Did you pass in front of this room before?”Donna looked perplexed, but she continued to make Poppy
The large frame of the painting depicts the face Poppy misses the most. Although she has few memories of the beautiful woman in the dark blue dress in the painting, she dearly loves her.“I discovered this painting at an exhibition hosted by a friend of my business partner. When I first saw it, I was surprised by the face in the painting... it looks very similar to you, doesn't it?”‘Of course... because she is my biological mother....’Poppy struggled to respond, her mouth locked. She was surprised to find the painting, which had always hung in her parents' living room, now in Robin Luciano's mansion. Her home was even on the other side of this country.“Even the color of her eyes is similar to yours: deep black, mysterious, yet very beautiful... her beauty is distinct from that of people in our country.” Rafael indirectly complimented Poppy.Poppy’s thoughts, however, remained on the painting. “Where... did you get this painting?” Finally, she could express her curiosity.“I bought
‘A woman like me?’ That question kept ringing in Poppy's head. She didn't know what kind of woman she was to Robin Luciano. But his words clearly hurt her and lowered her self-esteem.Poppy lay naked on the bed, eyes closed as usual, gritting her teeth every time Robin jerked on her pleasure center. She lay motionless as a statue as Robin forced himself to leave his seed in her womb.‘Now I understand why Mr. Robin blindfolded me. He didn't want to show his face while struggling to get pleasure.’Tonight was very different... there was no pleasure at all, despite the fact that Robin treated her normally. She only remembered every cruel word her husband had said. She smiled bitterly. Not realizing that the man on top of her didn't like her smile. While they were making love, her smile was out of sync and appeared to be asking for mercy.Robin cupped her cheek until her smile faded. Despite Robin's rapid hip movement, she remained motionless and unr
Poppy stood looking down at Robin sitting on the sofa in her room after Donna had hurriedly left to do some work. This was the first time she had seen Robin smile in a long time. Her body shivered at the sight of her husband's smile, which was cynical and deadly, as if it wanted to swallow her soul.“So you were the one who started the gossip among the mansion's employees?”Poppy shook her head quickly. The cherished smile that had been visible on her face a moment before had vanished.“I'm busy working, and you're making fun of me with that cheap joke behind my back?”Robin's cynical smile was no longer visible. His expression hardened as he stared at his contract wife.“You were laughing so hard when you didn't see me, and now you're not answering. Are you doing something I dislike on purpose?”“N-No, Mr.—”“So why are you spreading rumors among the servants that I am in love with you?” Robin had no intention of giving Poppy time to think.Poppy's head was spinning. She could have d
