Britney let her soft hair down, removed her light makeup from the day, and her bare face added a touch of freshness. With her tall figure standing still, she was enticing enough to commit a crime without any movement.
"Wait for me!"
After saying that, Manuel bypassed Britney and entered the bathroom.
The sound of running water for a bath could be heard inside the room, while Britney stood restlessly, unsure of which posture or movement would be appropriate at this moment. The longer she waited, the faster her heart pounded, with a tendency to accelerate.
I couldn't help but let my mind wander, wondering what I would have to face next.
I don't know if it was because the air conditioner was on in the room or because she had just taken a shower, but she felt extremely hot.
I lifted the soft silk quilt and got inside, covering myself completely, even my head. I did this to prevent my mind from wandering and overthinking.
Even in her work,
There were still two days left for my period, but unexpectedly it came early this month.I don't know how long it had been, Britney lay in bed waiting for Manuel to come out of the bathroom.When Manuel emerged with a towel wrapped around his lower body, he exuded an air of indifference. He finally calmed down as before. He revealed a strong and powerful upper body, with a healthy and attractive wheat-colored skin, perfectly sculpted chest and abdominal muscles, slowly dripping with water droplets.Manuel lifted a corner of the blanket, and Britney immediately felt the cold air coming from his body.He actually took a cold shower."Manuel, are you okay?" Britney glanced up slightly, looking at him."It's okay! Go to sleep, I'll hold you." Manuel said as he held her, she shivered in his arms.Britney turned around and faced Manuel. His eyelashes were long and thick, complementing his narrow phoenix-like eyes, creating a captivating pro
The speaker is Axel.The words were filled with sarcasm."Mr. Gonzales, whether my married life was happy or not has nothing to do with this meeting. So, I won't report to Mr. Gonzales here. Next, I will report to the board of directors..."In this matter, Britney had no need to avoid it, but faced it head-on. In just a few words, she not only countered Axel but also shifted the focus to the main purpose of inviting them to the meeting today."Regarding the spokesperson of the Hammond Group.""Wasn't the company's spokesperson always a big celebrity named Angeline?" Jaylon couldn't quite remember the name."Yes, currently it is Angeline, but I have received reliable information and have hired a private detective to confirm the authenticity of the news! Directors, please take a look at the documents in front of you, every word and sentence on it is true, there is no falsehood!" Britney stood at the very end of the office, speaking confidently
Four women were standing in front of the sink, applying foundation and gossiping. Laughter filled the air until they saw Britney coming out from behind. Suddenly, the laughter ceased.On Britney's overly refined face, there was no expression. But the more it was like this, the more it made people feel an invisible pressure.The four women quickly packed up their belongings, preparing to find excuses to leave."Earlier, you were talking about me, right?" It is not a question, but a confirmation."No! We didn't say anything," one of the women said, shaking her head like a tambourine.Britney washed her hands clean and turned around to look at the four women in front of her, who were all bowing their heads. "Who said that I was caught cheating before marriage?"A few minutes of silence, and then a woman stood up. "It was me!""Who did you hear the rumors from?" Britney asked, her voice faint."I, I also... don't know! I also heard
She understood this matter clearly.Not giving the other party any chance for speculation, it benefits neither the other party nor oneself.However, Conrad was well aware that if he directly mentioned the matter, Britney would definitely get up and leave, refusing to have dinner with him.The closer it got to her and Manuel's wedding date, the worse he felt. Whenever he thought about some things that would happen after their marriage, he became extremely restless.Especially the last time, he clearly saw Britney's perfect figure and imagined her lying in another man's arms one day, and he couldn't calm down no matter what.Originally, their wedding couldn't take place as planned, but then a problem arose with the company's new project, which completely occupied him. However, later on, he had someone investigate and found out that this incident was not a coincidence. Someone had been secretly manipulating it, and they had done it without leaving any
Upon hearing Karsyn's voice, Britney rolled her eyes. Sometimes, she really felt like she wasted her energy on Karsyn.She said one sentence, and she could happily reply to you with ten sentences."Did you not go out for a date today?"Karsyn lifted the face mask, skillfully tossed it into the trash can, and massaged her collagen-rich face."Franklin has been busy lately! Working overtime every day, socializing... I went to his office this afternoon and came back. What's up? Why suddenly so concerned about my personal issues?""So concerned about me, huh? Tell me! Are you either a thief or a cheat?" Karsyn said, seemingly threatening.Britney's thoughts circled around in her mind."Today I saw Franklin..."Britney hadn't finished speaking when Karsyn interrupted her. "Goldmoor said it's neither big nor small, and it's quite common to come across it."Britney heard the sound of the phone, mixed with the sound of Karsyn wa
Conrad walked into the study and closed the door.Took out the phone and dialed the phone number that had always been saved in the contact list but had never been dialed before.Franklin's voice came from over there. "Hello, who is this?"It occurred to him that he had never saved his phone number. There was a moment when he wanted to hang up the phone, but in the end, he resisted the urge."I was Conrad."There seemed to be a moment of hesitation over there before speaking. "Is there something wrong?""Are you available to talk on the phone now? I mean, is there someone next to you?" Conrad loosened his tie."What do you want to say?" At this moment, Franklin, having dropped off the supervisor and his daughter, was driving home alone."Did you go to Lavender Restaurant on Central Street today?" Conrad continued, "Britney saw you having dinner with the manager and his daughter."There was silence on the other side as Con
I saw Britney without any makeup, wearing a plain nightgown, but she looked fresh and beautiful like a lotus just emerged from the water, so stunning that I couldn't take my eyes off her."You were the one who came to me first!"Just as I stepped out, I bumped into his solid and broad chest."Whether it was you throwing yourself at me, or me willingly coming to you, the result was the same!" Manuel held a bathrobe in his hand, and a glimmer of brightness flashed in his pitch-black eyes."You go take a shower! I will go to sleep first!" Britney lifted the blanket and lay down.She can no longer look at this man now!The scene just now noticeably weakened her momentum.I'm not sure if it was due to excessive blood loss during her period or because she had been battling at work all day, but Britney quickly fell asleep.Half asleep, she always felt like someone was constantly disturbing her.Manuel was eagerly gnawing as his
Since childhood, I could only use the hand-me-downs from my older cousin, which were old and unwanted.Sierra could hardly believe that there would be a day when her cousin would willingly let her choose something she liked and give it to her.I was absolutely thrilled."Did you really give it to me?""Cousin, when did I ever deceive you?" Stephanie said, and then let her choose one she liked.Sierra walked up to the front of the store and pointed at a sky-blue handbag displayed in the center of the shop window. "Can you help me get this one? I want to take a look."As Sierra entered the store, the shop assistant looked at her with disdain. But as soon as she heard that Ms. Hammond, who was accompanying her, was going to give her a bag, the shop assistant immediately changed her expression to a smile, took out a handbag, and praised, "This young lady has such good taste. This is a newly released model, and it's limited edition. Each store on
Skyler had fallen asleep, but her mind remained alert. After all, Raiden had left a psychological scar on her today.As soon as Raiden mentioned being hungry, she couldn't help but complain to herself. He hadn't felt hungry earlier, and now, suddenly, he was.But despite the resentment in her heart, she didn’t dare voice it. After all, he was the young master, and she was just a servant..."Should I heat it up for you?" Since this "ancestor" had called for her, it was clear he wouldn’t do it himself. And it was late, so the other family members had likely already gone to sleep.Sure enough, the young master kicked his feet and said, "Should I do it myself?" If he was going to do it himself, why bother calling her? The real reason was that he couldn’t sleep and, seeing her sleep soundly beside him, a psychological urge stirred within him.If he couldn’t sleep, neither should she. It was a kind of unhealthy mentality.He wanted to wake her up
Skyler finally had the chance to observe the entire room. The decor was simple yet refined.A large sky-blue bed, a desk with a desktop LCD computer, and some model decorations—all expensive just at a glance. It matched his unruly personality well. However, it was clear he didn’t come home often; everything here still looked brand new."Where are you sleeping? Why are you asking me?"Since his father let her move in, he must have arranged a place for her."Do you have an extra blanket? I’ll sleep on the floor."The bed was big enough for two people, and she had slept with him before—otherwise, how would she have gotten pregnant? But at this moment, she didn’t dare sleep with him. She hadn’t forgotten the way he had looked downstairs, as if he wanted to devour her alive.She didn’t dare provoke him again, afraid that if she shared a bed with him, she might not even know how she died.She knew t
"Do you think you've found yourself a backer now? Is that why you feel so important?"Raiden’s tone was full of sarcasm.He looked exactly like a little kid afraid of losing his father's love.It’s often said that women mature faster than men, and Skyler was one of those women. She could see exactly what Raiden was upset about, and a smile tugged at her lips."No, Mr.Calderon! My biggest backer is you," Skyler admitted her mistake.Like hell he’d believe that! The innocence she had before was completely gone now.Raiden let out a cold snort and sneered, "Skyler, I didn't expect your appetite to be this big. First, you took my house, and now, in the blink of an eye, you've managed to squeeze a fortune out of my dad. Did your brain suddenly become enlightened? You’re making money at an impressive speed!""Mr.Calderon, I did go back on my word in this matter. I’m sorry! Here’s the key to the house you
Every parent, when talking about their child, always wears the kindest smile. Frankie was no exception. And when he thought about the fact that he would soon become a grandfather, his mood improved even more.Feeling good, he couldn’t help but chat a little more with Skyler.As Frankie flipped through old photos of Raiden’s childhood and talked about his younger days, Skyler truly saw how adorable he had been as a child.Uncle Calderon wasn’t lying—Mr.Calderon had been handsome since he was little.Big eyes, double eyelids, a high nose bridge, rosy lips, pearly white teeth, and fair skin—all combined with that charmingly arrogant expression…Skyler subconsciously placed her hand on her belly, wondering if the baby inside would be just as good-looking. If it were a girl and took after Mr.Calderon, she certainly wouldn’t be unattractive."Master, dinner is ready!" a servant came forward and announced.
"She should take a good look at herself! She doesn't want to marry me?" Raiden shouted.Who did she think she was? And who was he? Since when did a woman have the right to reject him?Since he was old enough to understand things, he had been surrounded by countless women, all vying for his attention. Which woman didn't want to marry him?Raiden sneered internally. This woman was definitely playing hard to get in front of his father, trying to win his favor so that he would pressure him into marrying her.I didn't see this coming.Skyler, so you dare play tricks on me!Skyler shivered slightly under Raiden’s sharp gaze. Was it a crime now to not want to marry him?Frankie stepped forward and kicked his own son. "And you should take a good look at yourself!"That kick wasn’t light. Raiden gasped in pain and quickly pulled his leg back to clutch it.Damn it!He was almost thirty, yet his old man still kicked him with
When Raiden walked in, he actually found that woman in his house!Without a word, he rushed up to her, grabbed her wrist, and started dragging her outside with large strides."Mr.Calderon, what are you doing?" Caught off guard by his strength, Skyler’s wrist throbbed in pain as she frowned and couldn't help but cry out."Don't ask, just come with me!"As soon as Raiden received a call from the person he had arranged to take Skyler to the hospital, he rushed back immediately.He had sent her to get an abortion, and she was already on the operating table—yet somehow, the old trickster in his family had intercepted her! Just thinking about how the plan was almost completed but was suddenly interrupted made him incredibly frustrated.How could he not know what that old fox was scheming?For the past few years, every time he returned home, the old man would pester him about marriage. Eventually, he got so fed up that he outrigh
Frankie was setting up Skyler, but unfortunately, she was too young and inexperienced to realize it. She had never encountered such schemes before, let alone faced an old fox like Frankie.At first, Skyler had no idea who had decided against her abortion. It wasn’t until she had spoken with Frankie for a while that she finally understood—it was the old master himself who wanted to keep his grandchild.She had already promised Raiden that she would terminate the pregnancy, and she had struggled internally for a long time. But in the end, her heart leaned toward keeping the child.“However, I have three conditions.”“Go ahead, go ahead…” Frankie was so delighted that she had agreed that he would have accepted a hundred conditions if necessary.“First, after the child is born, I want to be able to visit them whenever I wish. But you can rest assured—I will only be visiting the child and will have
Raiden’s Father...Hearing Frankie's words, Skyler couldn't help but look up. He wasn’t like what she had imagined. The middle-aged man in front of her was well-maintained, looking energetic and full of vitality. His smile was warm and friendly. There were indeed some resemblances between him and Raiden—he must have been quite a charming man in his younger years.Seeing her subtly relax, Frankie chuckled, “What do you think? Not quite what you imagined, right?”Having her thoughts seen through so easily, Skyler blushed, feeling slightly embarrassed. “It’s a bit different from what I expected,” she admitted.“Sit down and talk. I’m not used to looking up at people while speaking.” Frankie deliberately said this, knowing that otherwise, she wouldn’t sit down.Just as he had anticipated, Skyler realized that standing while talking to someone like this was somewhat impolite. Beside
Skyler looked at the cold, sterile operating table, her steps heavy as she walked over and lay down with the nurse’s help. Staring at her still-flat stomach, she silently whispered to the tiny life inside her, "Baby, I'm sorry."He had been so well-behaved. She had heard that during the first three months of pregnancy, morning sickness was common, sometimes severe enough to make one feel like the world was spinning. Yet, she hadn’t experienced any of that—she felt just like a normal person. She knew her baby must be a very obedient child.Unfortunately, she had no ability to keep him. If she forced his birth, he would only suffer alongside her.So, I’m sorry. It’s because I’m not brave enough…She had never intended to keep this child, but that didn’t mean she had no feelings for him. He was, after all, her own flesh and blood."Miss Oneal, we’re going to administer the anesthesia now. Try to r
