"Give me your reason." Ines remained silent. Solomon pondered momentarily before saying, "If you don't want to continue living here, you can move to Pear Garden Residence. I have a villa and a duplex there. You can choose which one you like. However, it's in the suburbs, so although the environment is good, it's a bit far from your company." He paused, seemingly contemplating, then continued, "I'll arrange a driver for you. That way, you don't have to drive yourself, and you can rest on the commute.” He knew she loved to sleep in, especially in the winter when getting out of bed was a struggle. Ines listened to Solomon's words, her hand gripping her knee tightly, her knuckles turning white. After a while, she softly replied, "That won’t be necessary." "Hmm?" Solomon stared at her. "No need for a driver or—" Before he could finish his sentence, Ines interjected. "Mr. Rowland, let's break up." Hearing her say this for the second time today, Solomon felt irritated. Takin
Solomon pulled Ines into his arms, gripping her chin firmly as he spoke with a hint of fierceness, "If you're tired of this, that's your business, but I'm not. Don't even think about breaking up with me!"If you want to break up, wait until I'm tired of it!" "You—Mmm!" Before Ines could finish her sentence, Solomon forcefully silenced her with a rough kiss. He was angry. His kiss was rough and devoid of any tenderness as he bit her lips dominantly. After being together for so long, Solomon knew precisely how to overpower Ines; he was aware of her sensitive spots. Ines felt dizzy and breathless from his aggressive kiss; her body felt weak and powerless. She could not even remember how she ended up being carried into the bedroom by him. Sinking into the soft bed, her sweater was already discarded at the bedroom door. With one hand, Solomon effortlessly unfastened her bra, engulfing her in passionate kisses."No!" Solomon grasped her hands, his fingers intertwined tightly
Solomon sat by the bed momentarily before leaving the apartment, grabbing his coat on the way out.The next day.Ines was awakened by the ringing phone. It was the TV station calling to ask why she had not shown up for work.Glancing at the time, Ines realized it was already 10:00 A.M.She casually made up an excuse about being sick, and her colleagues, hearing her hoarse voice, did not suspect anything and told her to rest well.After hanging up, Ines looked at the empty bed beside her, feeling a sudden emptiness inside.As she got out of bed, her legs felt weak, almost causing her to stumble.Thinking back to last night's madness, Ines cursed Solomon in her heart.Did those women not satisfy him enough? He acted like a starving wolf.Ines took a moment to calm herself, leaning against the wall as she slowly made her way to the living room.Sure enough, she was alone in the house.She could not remember when he had left.Then she remembered Solomon had mentioned he had a b
Monafett.At 4:30 P.M. local time, Solomon reached Miston, the capital of Monafett.Rahman had arranged for someone to pick him up and take him to the hotel.After dropping Solomon off at his hotel room, the attendant respectfully said, "Mr. Rowland, you can rest at the hotel for a while. Prince Rahman will join you for dinner later."With one hand in his pocket, Solomon appeared nonchalant and replied with a smile, "Your prince doesn't need to bother coming for dinner if he's busy. We're old acquaintances; there's no need to be so formal."The attendant smiled politely and did not say anything.Solomon felt a bit tired after spending a long time on the plane. He washed his face and changed into fresh clothes."Mr. Rowland, the documents are all in the study," his assistant, Jonathan, informed him.They were staying in the presidential suite, which included a separate study.Solomon acknowledged and went to the study to make a call to Blair.When Rahman arrived at the hotel,
"I've arrived in Monafett."After a few seconds passed without a response, he sent another message, [This business trip will probably last about half a month. I'll bring you a gift when I return.]Ines still had not replied, and Solomon figured Richworth was during daylight hours, so she must be busy. He decided not to send any more messages.Richworth.Ines' phone buzzed twice during the meeting, but she ignored it. It was not until after the meeting that she checked her messages. As she glanced over them, she lowered her gaze, a slight smile playing at the corners of her mouth. It was rare indeed that he would initiate contact with her. The last time he had messaged her first was when they had just gotten together. Ines closed the conversation window without replying. That was just the kind of person she was. Once she decided to break up, she would not drag things out. When it was over, it was over for good.Royal View Villa.Blair had his leg rehabilitation sessi
"Turns out you and my master are brothers."Mable was surprised because she had never heard her master mention having a brother.Wilbur chuckled a few times, sipped his tea, and leisurely said, "We are indeed brothers, but also enemies."Mable was taken aback. "Enemies?""Yes, he stole my beloved woman, treated her poorly, and ultimately caused her death."To put it bluntly, their enmity stemmed from a woman.Wilbur spoke indifferently, "I wanted revenge, but he disappeared without a trace. Later, I inadvertently encountered Rory and discovered he was Rory's son. I even thought at the time that I should repay the father's debt by killing Rory."Blair looked at Wilbur and asked, "Then why didn't you act?” If he had killed Rory, there would not have been much trouble afterward.Wilbur's face showed no emotion, and he spoke slowly, "It might be because Rory might be the son of the woman I loved."So, he showed mercy and did not act.Mable stared at Wilbur briefly before speaki
Blair held Mable's hand thoughtfully. "Mabes, should I let Rory off?"Mable paused, squatting beside Blair, resting her head on his lap. "Blair, you can do whatever you want. You don't have to consider me."He suffered the most. Even though they were husband and wife, she had no right to advise him to spare the main culprit.Blair gently caressed Mable's cheek without saying a word.After a moment of silence, Mable looked up at him. "There's something I want to tell you.""Sit down and tell me."Blair pulled Mable up and let her sit on the couch."Rory has dissociative identity disorder. His alter ego has severe paranoia, erratic behavior, and a strong possessive and controlling nature toward me. Since I've known him, his alter ego has appeared five or six times. Once, I almost died at the hands of his alter ego, which made Rory realize the severity of the situation."Blair's expression darkened when he heard that Mable almost died at Rory's hands.Noticing his expression, Mab
Mable agreed to meet Eugenie at the café tomorrow.After hanging up the phone, Blair looked at Mable beside her and asked, "Is Eugenie still in Richworth?"Mable placed her phone aside and nodded, saying, "Yeah, she mentioned she still has some unfinished business. Plus, she asked to meet me tomorrow, saying she has something to discuss."Blair furrowed his brows, lost in thought."Maybe it's related to the Necro Poison." Mable guessed.Seeing Blair looking somewhat worried, Mable wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled. "Stop frowning all the time. It's just a small matter. Nothing will happen."Blair ruffled Mable's hair. "I'll accompany you tomorrow."Mable immediately refused. "No need. You should rest at home and focus on recuperating. I'll have Spike watch you for rehab in the afternoon. Plus, it's not suitable for you to be out and about now."Tomorrow was the weekend, and neither Spike nor Nicki had school.Blair did not want Mable to worry about him, so he relucta
