The next day, Beverley and Brent finally returned to Los Angeles. It was earlier than the scheduled time. However, no one seemed to mind that.After a long flight, they finally arrived at the airport. Brent left first, leaving Beverley with Jace. The man was in a hurry for some business.“Ma’am, let me help you,” said Jace, who was about to carry Beverley. He was worried about the wound on the sole of her foot that had not yet healed.“No need, Jace. I’ll just hold on to you.”Jace finally extended his hand and led Beverley out of the airport. They got into their car and quickly returned home.Meanwhile, Brent had gone not for work but to see Natalie. He entered a luxurious apartment inhabited by wealthy and prestigious people. The privacy and security there were very high, which made him feel more at ease.He went up to the 12th floor and walked to one of the units. He inserted an access card and punched in some codes until the door opened.When Brent went inside, Natalie was still s
Brent walked quickly to his car. He unbuttoned his shirt and rolled up his sleeves. He felt very hot and sultry.Ryan, who was sitting in the driving seat, looked at him with the corner of his eyebrow raised. “What’s wrong? Did you just get out of the furnace?”“Run the car now!” Brent growled slightly. He scratched his non-itchy head and then increased the temperature of the air conditioner in his car.“That’s weird,” Ryan muttered as he drove the car away from the apartment area.Along the way, Brent felt frustrated. He exhaled many times. This time, it had gone too far. His desires had exploded in his head, and he needed an outlet.“What’s wrong with you?!” Ryan irritably asked back. Brent's inability to sit still quietly annoyed Ryan greatly.He turned his head to the side and looked Brent up and down. He quickly shifted his gaze to the road. “Holy shit! Are you horny right now?”Brent felt like hitting Ryan. “Hurry up! You don’t want to see me masturbating here, do you?”“Damn it
Lunch was finally served. There was plenty of food on the table, but Brent was more interested in Beverley’s mac and cheese. He wanted to know if she could cook well.He quickly took a spoon and tasted it. He didn’t expect much at first, but it was surprisingly good. It felt like it was melting in his mouth. He liked it immediately.“How was it? Does it taste good?” Michael asked curiously.Brent cleared his throat, then smiled. “My wife cooks well,” he said as he glanced at Beverley. The woman just rubbed her neck awkwardly.Michael chuckled. “It looks like I didn’t choose the wrong daughter-in-law,” he said happily. He continued eating his lunch with gusto.Meanwhile, Beverley didn’t say much. This was the first time she had sat down to eat with either Brent or her father. So, she was not used to it.At that moment, Brent suddenly slid the plate of tacos in front of her. She looked at him uncomprehendingly. He said, “Eat more. In Hawaii, you don’t eat enough.”Beverley furrowed her
Brent closed his eyes tightly. The scent of Beverley’s body wafted into his nose, and it made him even more unbearable. Finally, his hands went under the blanket and hugged her body from behind.His heart was pounding. Beverley did not react, and it made him feel like an asshole taking advantage of the situation. However, he really couldn’t resist the temptation.Somehow, this felt so challenging to him. He brought his lips to Beverley’s ear and whispered her name softly. She only frowned slightly.Brent became even bolder. He kissed her neck gently. His hands moved up to her chest and touched her supple and plump breasts. It really felt amazing in his hands!He squeezes them gently, and it instantly makes Beverley moan softly. The sound of her moans was so seductive and enticing. Brent felt almost crazy. Was she really unconscious?His hands continued to squeeze it and even tried to twist her nipples. Brent’s lips played on her slender neck. His tongue wildly swept and licked the whit
After breakfast, Brent and Beverley finally went to see James. They didn’t go with a driver. Brent drove the car himself.James’ condition was already better than the last time Beverley saw him. He couldn’t walk yet, but he could talk well. It made her feel glad.Beverley squatted in front of her father’s wheelchair and smiled at him. “Dad, do you blame me for not catching up with you lately?”James smiled and shook his head. His hand stroked the top of his only daughter’s head. “I’ve heard what you’ve been through. I’m sorry...,” he said sadly. “Please forgive Emma.”“Don’t apologize. I’m just glad you’re on the mend. After all....” Beverley glanced at Brent, who was standing looking at them, then continued, “I don’t have much trouble at Brent’s house, anyway.”James immediately looked at Brent gratefully. He was a former subordinate of Michael’s, so he was already familiar with Brent’s figure. He knew him, even if it was only as a superior and subordinate.“Mr. Oliver, you may not b
Brent kissed Beverley on the lips. He bit her bottom lip open. His tongue slipped in and entwined with hers quickly. He sipped and slurped at her sweet mouth.Beverley closed her eyes tightly. Her hands gripped Brent’s arms. Then she shook off the kiss. “Don’t be like this, Brent. It’s not right!”The man looked at her desperately. “I know it shouldn’t be like this.”They stared at each other with a feeling that was hard to explain. Brent held Beverley’s nape and wanted to kiss her again, but they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching.Beverley quickly pushed Brent back, and then she tidied up her own appearance. She folded her wet shirt until, a moment later, the wine house employee serving them appeared.“Mr. and Mrs. Oliver, I’ve heard something has happened to you. I apologize for the inconvenience. Do you need my help?” The employee asked.“No,” Brent replied flatly. He hurried away and returned to his desk.Meanwhile, Beverley did not follow him. She gave her wet shi
Oliver’s family had all gathered. Beverley became uneasy because her father still hadn’t arrived. Could it be that James wasn’t allowed to leave by his doctor?She was about to call home, but suddenly the doorbell rang. A servant opened the door. After that, a woman in a red dress stepped in.“Emma?” Beverley frowned. Why was Emma here? She had even come alone, without James.Emma, with her glamorous appearance, smiled at everyone. She walked towards the dining table. None of the servants stopped her because they knew she was Beverley’s stepmother.“Good evening, everyone. I’m sorry I came late. The doctor wouldn’t let James go, so he asked me to cover for him,” Emma said kindly.Beverley just exhaled softly. She didn’t know if Emma was telling the truth or if it was just her trick to come here alone. Her prejudice against Emma was worse than ever.“It’s all right. Mrs. Holmes, please have a seat. Luckily, you’re here, so this isn’t just another Oliver family dinner,” Michael said lig
“Let’s try again,” Brent said without taking his attention off the woman in front of him.Beverley looked angrily at the man. However, now they were in the center of the room. If she made a scene, it would attract the attention of many people.Finally, she placed her hands on Brent’s shoulders again. She gave the man a sharp look. “Don’t mess around, Brent,” she said warningly.This time, Brent became more serious. He refrained from doing anything bad to Beverley.They went back to dancing to the music. After a few rounds, Beverley could finally keep up with Brent. She was happy that she could finally dance well enough.A while later, the dance was finally over. People enjoyed their wine while chatting and joking. Some people also used the event to build business relationships.Meanwhile, Beverley ran off to the toilet after finishing her dance with Brent. She didn’t want Michael to ask her to do anything else that would bring her closer to Brent.She accidentally bumped into Emma. Th
Brent and his colleagues gathered evidence of Natalie’s crimes in three days. They handed it over to the police, and an arrest was made.Beverley participated in the arrest. Brent forbade her at first, but she insisted on going. She wanted to see if Natalie would confess to her crime.“She had every intention of harming you, honey,” Brent said as they arrived at Natalie’s apartment. He looked at his wife tenderly. “Don’t let her do it again.”“Don’t worry, Brent. She won’t because we’re coming with the police officers.”Brent kissed her forehead lovingly. “All right. Let’s go out.” He opened the door and led Beverley out of the car.Beverley chuckled. Since learning of her pregnancy, Brent’s demeanor had become gentler towards her. He would also grant her whatever she wanted. He was so sweet and loving.The police officers preceded them into the apartment building. Brent and Beverley followed. Jace, Ryan, Logan, and Jax were behind them. The four men didn’t want to miss the spectacle.
Chris’s death was a heavy blow to Brent and Michael. Chris had harmed them greatly and caused much trouble for the Oliver family. However, they didn’t want him to die at all.In the days following the funeral, Brent became very busy. He struggled to investigate who had masterminded the accident. The police were investigating, but he couldn’t rely solely on them.That problem caused a significant reduction in his time with Beverley. She understood that. However, she wondered how serious the matter was.It was almost midnight, and Brent hadn’t gone upstairs to bed even though he was home from work. Beverley stepped down the stairs carefully. No one seemed to be hanging around the mansion. The servants had already rested.Beverley peered out into the courtyard and saw Ryan’s car parked there. ‘They’re still here,’ she thought.She cautiously stepped closer to the rarely used reading room. It was on the west side of the mansion. Lately, Brent often gathered with some strangers there until
Tears fell on Brent’s face. He immediately turned around and hugged Beverley. His body trembled, and he cried silently.Beverley hugged him tightly. She understood his grief. Brent usually seemed to hate Chris so much. However, he had always protected him.As angry as Brent was, he never went cruel or too far with Chris. The threats that came out of his mouth were just words he didn’t mean. The man had always secretly loved Chris. Or he never realized it.“All this time, I was in no hurry to reconcile with him. I thought... we had more time,” Brent whispered with his eyes closed.“I shouldn’t have gone to New York. That should have been a sign.”Beverley stroked Brent’s back. Her palm felt the traces of fabric across his back. Her brow furrowed deeply. Was what Chris said true? She tried to put that aside for the moment.“Brent, even if you don’t go to New York, you can’t change fate,” Beverley whispered. “You have to let him go.”Brent said nothing. He let go of his embrace and then
Chris’ body was lying in the middle of the road. Fresh blood was flowing from his head. His face was covered in blood. He was silent and motionless.Beverley trembled at what had just happened. Her face was deathly pale. “No, no, no. Chris, are you okay?!”She tried to stand up, but her legs were sore and weak. Her stomach and head hurt, too. Frantically, she crawled over to the man.Chris was choking and out of breath. Beverley burst into tears immediately after seeing how bad his condition was. She immediately held his hand.“Chris, I’ll call for help. Please hold on,” she pleaded in a trembling voice. She quickly grabbed her cell phone, but Chris gripped her hand.“Beverley...” Chris called out weakly.“Don’t say anything, please!” Beverley tearfully tried to control her trembling hands. She dialed 911 in a panic.“I’m sorry... Bev,” Chris whispered with difficulty. He felt his body floating higher and higher. His chest was tight. Pain shot from his head to his toes.“No, Chris. Do
Emma’s funeral was a quick affair. James and Beverley agreed to keep things simple and inconspicuous. They didn’t invite many people either.The funeral took place a day later. At the cemetery, Beverley stood behind her father, who crouched by the tombstone. The funeral ceremony was over. Some people who had come had left.Michael approached Beverley. The old man tapped her shoulder and whispered, “Brent should be arriving in Los Angeles soon. That boy is really...”Beverley shook her head and smiled. “He ran into some obstacles that delayed him. That’s okay. He’s in another state, after all. Going home will take hours.”Yesterday, Brent had said he would return home as soon as the meeting was over. However, the man admitted that he found a serious problem that was impossible to leave behind. In the end, he could only return today.“I’m glad that you understand. After Brent arrives at the mansion later, I’ll immediately ask him to come to James’ house.”“Thank you, Dad.”Michael smile
The next day, something surprising happened. Beverley had just arrived at Katy’s cafe that morning. Her cell phone suddenly rang. There was an incoming call from James.“It’s so rare that James calls me,” she muttered and answered the phone immediately. “Hello, Dad.”The sound of James crying suddenly entered Beverley’s ears. The man didn’t say anything, and that worried her. “Dad, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”James sobbed. “Emma....”“What about Emma?” Beverley immediately stood up from the chair. She felt uneasy. Did something bad happen?“She’s taken so many drugs. She overdosed, Bev,” James whispered in a weak voice.Beverley widened her eyes in disbelief. “How... how is that possible?”The sound of James’ sobs could be heard again, along with the noise of several people. There were many people in the place where the man was. And that worried Beverley even more.“Dad, where are you right now? I’ll be right there.”“Come to the house, Bev. They’re taking care of her body,” Ja
That morning, Beverley woke up with an aching body. A muscular hand curled around her waist. She stroked Brent’s chest, which was her pillow, and then sighed.Today, the man was going to New York as usual. It would take a few days. So they had spent a passionate night before parting.“I don’t want to go,” Brent whispered, his eyes closed. His voice was still hoarse from just waking up. The caress on his chest had woken him up.“Why?”“I don’t know. Maybe because I don’t want to part with you. Do you want to go with me?”Beverley sighed. “I still have a lot of work to do, Brent. You know I’ve been swamped lately,” she replied as she listened to Brent’s heartbeat.“Yeah. You’re even thinner.” Brent rubbed his wife’s back. “Don’t get too tired, baby. You’re eating well, right?”Beverley nodded. She actually felt tired. Her body felt more tired than usual. Maybe it was because she had twice as much work to do now in preparation for opening her cafe. She also still had to manage Katy’s caf
Brent was speechless. Beverley’s response was completely beyond his expectations. She wasn’t angry or thinking negatively of him at all. Instead, she cared about him being uncomfortable with Natalie’s actions.“Honey, you are handsome. It’s only natural for a woman to be obsessed with you. Are you scared, hm?” Beverley rubbed Brent’s head like a mother caring for her child. “Take it easy. I won’t let anyone harass you again.”“....”Brent didn’t know whether to laugh. He held back his smile. His heart felt warmed by Beverley’s treatment. Without saying anything, he kissed her gently on the lips.Natalie, who saw that, became jealous. She felt annoyed to death. Who knew that Beverley wasn’t provoked by her? She was so protective of Brent!Then Beverley broke away from Brent’s kiss. She chuckled and then turned to look at Natalie. Her expression turned cold. Her gaze was sharp.“Aren’t you satisfied with annoying my husband yet?”The woman she asked coughed. “Beverley, don’t forget you
Beverley bit her lip when Brent’s hand rubbed her panties. “You’re wet, baby,” he whispered contentedly. She couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.Brent’s hand pressed against her clit from outside her panties. She immediately gripped the man’s thighs. “Brent, I’m afraid I’ll squirt here,” she hissed worriedly.The man kissed her cheek gently. “I’ll take responsibility.”Beverley wore cotton shorts, which made it easier for Brent to go further. His fingers slipped inside her panties. He finally touched her wet pussy.Her body instantly trembled as Brent’s fingers rubbed her pussy. Beverley struggled to hold back her moans. She bit her finger to keep the sound from escaping.Brent giggled. Beverley became annoyed. “What are you laughing for? You’re really torturing me!”“Torturing you?”“Yes, oooh....” Brent rubbed her clitoris, and Beverley’s body instantly stiffened. Her head looked up, with her mouth hanging open. She looked so sexy and voluptuous.Brent became even more tempted to ma
