As soon as she entered the elevator, Annabelle immediately reached for the emergency alarm button.Cael effortlessly caught her hand, smiling. "Ms. Sanchez, you'd better not make a scene. Be good and listen to me—I won’t hurt you."Annabelle loathed his touch. Even though her body felt weak and powerless, she still managed to yank her hand away."Cael, if you dare lay a finger on me, Kendrick will never let you go."He glanced at her and chuckled."To be honest, you are quite my type. But I know what happens when you offend Kendrick—I’m not that stupid."He paused briefly, then added with a sinister smirk, "Besides, this is my engagement party. Do you think I’d ruin it? I truly want to marry Ariana."For some reason, Annabelle found his smile extremely unsettling.Especially when he said "truly want to marry Ariana." A chill ran down her spine.It felt like there was something far more insidious lurking beneath his frivolous exterior—something devious, something dangerous.But that wa

After Cael left, Annabelle rushed to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and started filling the bathtub with cold water.This method was crude but effective.At the same time, she planned to call Kendrick.When she took out her phone, she first noticed a message from Julissa, sent using Scott’s phone.Unfortunately, it was too late for that. If she had only checked her phone earlier, she might have been able to avoid drinking that glass of wine. But now, all she could do was try to find a way to ease the burning desire within her.Annabelle switched to Kendrick’s chat window, but her trembling fingers failed to hold onto the phone.The phone slipped from her grasp and fell into the bathtub.Water seeped into the phone, rendering it useless.Frustrated and annoyed, Annabelle set the phone aside. She couldn’t even wait for the bathtub to fill completely before stepping in, barefoot.The icy water engulfed her body, bringing some relief, but it couldn’t extinguish the deep craving insid

His expression was cold, and his sharp gaze swept over Cael and Ariana.Ariana’s heart skipped a beat.Why is Brother Kendrick looking at us like that? Did he suspect something?She glanced at Cael, but he remained completely at ease. He even patted her hand discreetly, as if reassuring her to stay calm.He was right. If Brother Kendrick had truly sensed that Annabelle was in danger, he would have rushed to find her immediately—there was no way he’d still be standing here.So, she had to stay composed and act naturally.“Brother Kendrick, I’ve been looking for you to toast you, but I couldn’t find you anywhere.”She smiled sweetly, picking up a glass of champagne laced with drugs from a passing waiter’s tray and offering it to Kendrick.Kendrick accepted the glass but didn’t drink immediately.“Have you seen Anna? I’ve been calling her, but I can’t get through.”Ariana stiffened slightly, gripping Cael’s arm tighter.She glanced at Cael again, but as expected, he remained composed, ev

In the VIP ballroom of the Imperial Hotel in Elfhedge, a grand engagement party was underway."Let's welcome the groom-to-be and the bride-to-be to have their opening dance!"The groom-to-be, Marvin Gregory, burst into laughter after hearing what the emcee said."Opening dance? You might have thought too highly of that ugly creature!"Upon hearing that, everyone turned to Annabelle Sanchez, the bride-to-be, who had just become a laughingstock.Wearing a veil, she stood quietly on the stage.People started to gossip. Some said that Annabelle, the third girl of the Sanchez family, was disfigured by a fire when she was a child, and she had been living in Springvale Temple in the mountains ever since. She never even went to college.Marvin, on the other hand, was the second eldest son of the Gregory family, handsome and influential. It was reasonable for him to disdain her.That being said, Annabelle was from a prestigious family. Everyone assumed that she was probably on the verge of she

Annabelle was stunned, her brows knitting in confusion.She thought to herself, "It's easy to break off an engagement, yet things are much more complicated when it comes to a divorce. Why bother?'She pondered for a second and said, "OK. But I have a demand."Kendrick smiled helplessly and thought, 'That's rich'But still, he said, "Name it. I can't guarantee you a yes, though."He had a playful expression on his face, making him look like a cunning fox. No one could tell what was on his mind.Annabelle frowned and said righteously, "Sex is definitely off the table after we get married."She looked like a soldier trying to defend her territory. Seeing that, Kendrick couldn't help but grin."Seriously, Ms. Sanchez? You think having sex with me is a loss for you?"Annabelle felt that her cheeks were burning. She thought, 'What a narcissist! Who knows what it's gonna be like? Well, it's true that he is handsome, tall, upright, and dignified in every manner. Yet I'm no nympho, and I don't

Annabelle could distinctly smell the faint aroma of cedar, mixed with a faint smell of alcohol, coming from Kendrick. Combined with the dim light in the car, she felt that the atmosphere was way too erotic.She felt her face getting hotter and hotter. When she tried to push him away, he grabbed her wrist.Kendrick clutched her slender wrist as he raised the corners of his lips, looking discontented."Ms. Sanchez, we're getting married, and yet you won't even let me see your face? That's not very sincere. Don't you think so?Annabelle thought, 'It seems that I just can't get away from it. Fine, then. I'll show him what he wants. Sooner or later, he's gonna see it anyway'.She sighed silently and said, "Step back a little, please."Kendrick grinned as he let go of her wrist."What? You don't wanna scare me?"While he was teasing, she had already taken off her veil.Kendrick was stunned.He had a feeling that she wouldn't be ugly, yet he didn't expect her to be that pretty.With fine fea

Kendrick acted seriously and stroked Annabelle's hair. "All done now. Let's go."She pressed her hair which he had tousled while thinking, 'I know that he was about to rub my head. What a cunning fox! He's such an actor!'Holding that thought in mind, she walked into the lobby together with Kendrick.The marriage registration went smoothly. When it came to the wedding photo session, they came to the studio together and were seated in a chair.Kendrick naturally put his hand on Annabelle's shoulder.Annabelle frowned and glanced at his hand, and then she glared at him.Yet Kendrick didn't see any problem. "It's what couples do when taking photos.""Mr. Gregory, it sounds like you're quite experienced."Annabelle said so with a smile, and then she shoved his hand away without hesitation.Seeing the slightly angry look on her face, Kendrick found her just like a gentle kitten who suddenly flashed its claws and scratched his heart.He felt ... a bit itchy. To be more accurate, he felt a b

Annabelle thought about it and realized that Kendrick wasn't asking too much.She thought, 'Now that we're married, even though we're just a couple in name, still, we have to put on an act in front of others. Besides, after spending time with him this morning, I feel that he is kind of reasonable. Maybe he just likes to make jokes sometimes.'While thinking that way, she felt much more at ease."Fine. I'll live at your place."Kendrick couldn't help but smile bitterly.Deep down, he couldn't help but complain, 'Just fine? She sounds so reluctant. Come on! I am the eldest son of the Gregory family as well as the CEO of the Gregory Group. I stand out when it comes to both appearance and family background. Yet why do I feel like I'm not attractive at all to her? Is it because I'm getting old?'The same morning, Kendrick took Annabelle to his villa in the western suburb, showed her around briefly, arranged a bedroom for her, and then went to his office.After he left, Annabelle called hom

I wish it were you Chapter 607 Falling into Cael’s Hands
One hour ago, inside the hotel banquet hall.Ariana and Cael approached Annabelle, raising their glasses to her.Kendrick had just stepped out of the banquet hall to take an important call, leaving Annabelle alone for the moment.She stood up, accepted the drink handed to her by the waiter, and took a sip without much thought. After exchanging a few polite words with Ariana, she downed the drink.However, shortly after drinking it, she realized something was wrong.Her face felt hot, her breathing became short and feverish, and when she caught her reflection in the glass window beside her, she saw her own hazy eyes and flushed, alluring expression.This wasn’t the first time she had been drugged with an aphrodisiac, but this time, the effect was overwhelming. It was as if ants were crawling through her veins, an unbearable itch spreading deep inside her body, making it nearly impossible to maintain control.She could feel her willpower crumbling under the drug’s influence. If a man tr
I wish it were you Chapter 606 I Can Wait
Julissa seriously considered it for a moment.If this really was a dream, she would probably forget everything when she woke up, so there’d be no awkwardness in facing him later.And wasn’t the whole point of dreams to let people experience things they couldn’t do in reality?She dazedly nodded.Scott chuckled. "Do you like me that much?"Julissa grinned cheekily. Who doesn’t like a handsome guy?"Of course! And if you don’t dock my salary, I’ll like you even more!"That simple sentence lit up the deep, brooding darkness in Scott’s eyes.He chose to believe that she meant it—that it wasn’t just drunken nonsense."Alright, I won’t dock your salary."Glancing at the bedside clock, he withdrew his hand from her waist."Wait for me. Don’t fall asleep."Julissa’s face flushed red. She didn’t know whether to nod or shake her head.She thought to herself, But I’m already asleep. Shouldn’t you be saying ‘don’t wake up’ instead?Still, feeling too embarrassed to correct him, she kept quiet.Sc
I wish it were you Chapter 605 If This Is a Dream
Julissa flashed a mischievous smile. "Mr. Nichols, taking advantage of you in a dream won’t get my salary docked, right? lol…"Scott’s lips curled up slightly. "You can try and see."Julissa was a woman of action. If she thought about it, she would do it.She hooked her arms around Scott’s neck, tiptoed, and pressed her lips directly against his.His lips were slightly cool, his scent crisp and refreshing—like the air after a snowfall.Most importantly, the sensation felt too real.This dream was so wonderfully vivid that she couldn’t help but close her eyes and savor it.Scott watched her up close, even noticing the slight tremble of her long lashes.After so many days, he was finally kissing her again.The taste of this kiss… was almost identical to that night.Yet, at the same time, it was different.Because this time, Julissa knew who she was kissing.This foolish girl actually thought she was dreaming, so she was acting recklessly.But did that mean… deep inside, she harbored fee
I wish it were you Chapter 604 Heart Pounding Like Crazy
After finishing in the bathroom, Julissa wobbled over to the pristine sink.Through the mirror, she took in her surroundings again—still the same high-end black, white, and gray aesthetic.The faucet, free of even a single water stain, gleamed with a cold metallic sheen. The marble countertop, with its rippling stone patterns, looked just as chilly.Julissa couldn't help but complain, "The designer of this hotel must be emotionally detached."Then, her eyes landed on a white ceramic tray on the counter. Several white and brown bottles sat neatly arranged on it.Probably just some basic skincare products, she guessed.Curious, she picked one up and squinted at the label—a jumble of blurry letters, not a single recognizable word.Looks expensive…She made a mental note to try them out when she took a bath later.Right now, though, she was too lazy even to wash her hands. She just wanted to sleep.She set the bottle back down, but her drunken clumsiness betrayed her—she knocked over the
I wish it were you Chapter 603 Sleeping on His Lap
Julissa didn’t quite catch the implication of that "again."She thought Scott had simply seen through the crush she once had on him.But more importantly—how could he say such flirtatious things so casually, without even blinking?!"Mr. Nichols, don’t you feel embarrassed saying things like that?"He smirked lightly, amusement flashing in his eyes. "If you’re not embarrassed, why should I be?"Julissa tilted her head, grinning mischievously as she leaned in closer. "So… does that mean I can flirt with you however I want?"Scott flicked her forehead, shaking his head helplessly. "Julissa, I really should record you right now."Just then, the car arrived. Scott helped her inside, and they both sat in the back seat.The driver asked, "Mr. Nichols, to the office or…?"Scott originally planned to return to the office, but after glancing at Julissa—who had instantly fallen asleep the moment she leaned against the window—he sighed."Take us home."He was the one who got her drunk, so he had
I wish it were you Chapter 602 Trying to Sleep with Me Again?
Julissa was already drunk, her mind foggy, but she couldn't shake the feeling that Ariana and Cael were up to something sneaky.Are they planning something against Anna?She knocked on her hazy head, trying to stay clear-headed.She stood up, intending to head over to Annabelle.Even if she didn’t know what she could do, at least being by Anna’s side would be better than nothing.But as soon as she got up, the world spun, and her legs felt like they were stepping on cotton. She couldn’t even stand properly.Scott caught her. "Where are you going?"Julissa raised her hand and pointed in Annabelle’s direction.Scott followed her finger, which was aimed toward the banquet hall's exit. Thinking she wanted to leave, he simply said, "Alright," and scooped her up in his arms, carrying her straight out of the hall through the side door.The pressure against her stomach from being carried made Julissa feel sick. She clutched Scott’s shirt tightly, burying her head in his chest, desperately hol
