Leaning over, Noah snuffed out the cigarette.The moment he reached out, she could subtly see his ripped body and the diamond watch hidden beneath his sleeves. His wild charm blended flawlessly with his elegant getup, giving him a unique, masculine charm. Then, he said dryly, “He didn’t offend me! Instead, he offended my wife!“Her name’s Gwynn.“I believe you’ve heard of her, Eluned!”…Now that he put all the cards on the table, Eluned couldn’t maintain her composure anymore. She said angrily, “Maddox and Hailey were dead because of her! So, what if we Hermans hate her?”Rising, he walked over to her and towered over her. Eluned couldn’t help but take a step back. He didn’t stop until he was standing right before her. Staring at her condescendingly, he said coldly, “If anyone’s responsible for Maddox’s death, it’d be me! “I’m the one who arranged for him to get married to Hailey. I’m the one who ruined his hands. Maddox was the one who acted foolishly here. He was a mar
The elevator door slid open.Noah pulled out his room card key. He was about to open the door when he was suddenly frozen to the spot.Gianna was crouching at his door. She looked downright miserable. Her long, wavy black hair was wet from the rain and her coat was completely drenched. Her prosthetic foot were discarded to the side.Half of her dress wasn’t covering anything. It felt as if someone reached into his chest and clutched his heart. Walking over slowly, he towered over her and glanced at her. His voice was warm and gentle. “Why are you back here? Didn’t we agree that you’d stay in Birkenfeld permanently?”Raising her head, she looked at him and said pitifully in a husky voice, “It’s about to be the New Year! It’s lonely over there. The servants are mean to me. They’re always pretending that they couldn’t hear me. I think they’re ignoring me on purpose.“Please, Noah. Can you let me come back to Brookesville? I promise I won’t come between you and your family. I ju
Noah was drunk, but he wasn’t wasted. Lowering his head, he looked at Gianna, who was in his arms. It was the middle of the night and she was dressed in a provocative silk sleeping gown. It reached her ankles, covering her lack of a foot entirely. The fact was, she looked as alluring as before, but he was no longer turned on by her.Prying off her arms, he said, “I promised Gwynn that I’d never sleep with anyone else.”His words hurt her. “You used to say that you want to make it up to me.”He merely stared at her in response.After a brief moment, he brushed past her and went into the presidential suite. Rubbing his forehead, he said, “We need to talk about this, Gianna.”They used to be lovers. He owed her an honest explanation. She followed him inside and closed the door. Silence hung over the suite. They parted on nasty terms back in Birkenfeld. So, she was particularly understanding this time. He had just sat down on the couch when she took over a pair of slippers,
Leaning closer, Noah checked on Gwynn. Her eyes were closed and she was breathing evenly. To his surprise, she fell asleep!He couldn’t help but get depressed. Was sex so bland between them now? How could she have drifted off to sleep in the middle of it? If this were in the past, he would’ve woken her up, pinned her down, and had rough sex with her. Now, however, he couldn’t bring himself to do that. Rolling to the side, he lay down next to her as his firm chest rose and fell. Moments later, he rose and went to the bathroom. He turned on the hot water and the room was filled with steam immediately. Throwing his head back, he masturbated and unloaded his pent-up lust in one go.…Gwynn woke up early in the morning.It was December. The winter jasmine in the garden bloomed. She was there, trimming the leaves and branches. Gladys was standing next to her, nagging at her. “It’s not every day Mr. Noah comes back home without you prompting him. You should’ve stayed in bed wi
Gianna was very surprised at what he said. She was definitely hoping she could stay in Brookesville, but she didn’t think Noah would agree to it this easily. So, she didn’t forget to give him some assurance amidst her surprise. “Don’t worry, Noah. I won’t come between you and Gwynn anymore.“Actually, I won’t give you any trouble anymore. All I ask is to live closer to you.” Obviously, she was trying to win him over with what she said, but there was some degree of truth in there too.She turned her back on her entire family for his sake. He was the only person she had left in her life.Her eyes welled up with tears. He merely looked at her quietly and didn’t say anything. That night, he didn’t stay in the suite for too long. A couple of days later, he bought an apartment for her that was located in a strategic spot. It was well over two thousand and three hundred square feet with luxurious renovations. He didn’t ask Kim to buy it on his behalf. This time, he did it himself.
Noah leaned back on the couch and smoked quietly. He frowned at what she said.He didn’t love Gianna at all. He merely came to her place to mend his broken heart. It had nothing to do with love or anything like that. With that said, he didn’t correct her. Taking the suit jacket, he patted it lightly. “I’m going to go home now!”“It’s pouring out there.” She sat up and said softly, “Can you stay just a little while longer? You can leave when the rain stops.”At that moment, thunder rumbled outside. He sat down again and watched the business news halfheartedly. Gianna started to make a move on him. Leaning on his shoulder, she reached out and touched his nipples. At the same time, she kissed the back of his ears with a reddened face. She knew clearly this was his sensitive spot. Once she kissed his ears, he’d turn into an animal that wanted nothing more than sating its lust. His eyes welled up with tears as he lowered his head and looked at her. After a brief moment, he sa
Gwynn didn’t say anything for a long time.Noah felt guilty. Walking into the bedroom, he closed the door and said tenderly, “You’re awake.”She stared at him with unblinking eyes. After a brief moment, she said dryly, “I didn’t sleep for the whole night, like you did.”It was pointless to keep on pretending that everything was okay. Walking over to the couch, he sat down and pulled out the elegant jewelry box. “Come over here and see if you like it. If you don’t, I’ll go with you and pick another jewelry set sometime.”She stood underneath the glow of the morning light. The mockery in her tone was unmistakable. “What’s the point of playing the loving husband, Noah? Back then, I took Gladys and our kids to Glacena. I stepped aside so Gianna could take my place and be your wife.“Then, you tracked us down and said you wanted to start things over. Is this your way of starting over, by keeping her as your mistress in secret?“Trust me when I say that I don’t mind the fact that
Gwynn rolled to the side and tried to scramble to her feet so she could run away. However, he grabbed her by the ankle and dragged her back to his side. Then, he tied both of her hands up with his tie and posed her in the most humiliating way possible. She wept and trembled, looking defeated. He stood by the bed and cast a cold sidelong glance at her miserable pose. Raising his hand, he unbuttoned his shirt. Her body was fair and perky, casting a stark contrast against his towering and ripped body.Dragging her to himself, he pinched her chin and kissed her. He also humiliated her, “That’s all you care about, Gwynn! You’re not being honest with yourself right now.”She lay on the white bedsheet. Her black hair was tousled, giving rise to a fragile but beautiful sight. She looked ripe for the taking and the entire picture was enough to drive any man crazy. Out of nowhere, she burst out laughing. Her canines were visible whenever she laughed. It looked adorable normally, bu
