Keegan was put on the bed after being carried into a hotel room. Jaylene looked at the unconscious man, turned to the bellboys, and said, "You guys can leave now." She then walked over to the bed and sat down.Keegan's cheeks were slightly flushed. His panting was a little loud, and his chest heaved violently. Feeling out of breath, he frowned and tugged at his collar. Jaylene grabbed his hand and said, "How are you feeling, Keegan?"His body temperature was surprisingly high, which made Jaylene's touch a little cold. Keegan unconsciously tightened his hands, but the unfamiliarity made him let go of his grip. However, it made Jaylene's heart beat faster, and her face turned red. She whispered Keegan's name again. But, seeing that he did not respond, she got up and went to the bathroom.After a while, she came out with a towel and wiped him down. Slowly and gently, Jaylene rubbed the towel across Keegan's face before moving to his neck. He laid sideways, showing his perfect jawline a
The man who pretended to be the maintenance person placed Jaylene aside before opening the door to reveal another man carrying Stella. The two put her next to Keegan and cleaned up the evidence. They then used their shirt to cover Jaylene's face and dragged her out of the room before locking the door. They avoided getting caught on surveillance and carried Jaylene to the parking lot.Olivia had been waiting in the car for quite some time. "How's Keegan?" she inquired upon seeing Jaylene being placed into the car."The drug hasn't worn off yet. But, based on calculations, he should wake up in a couple of minutes. The woman also seems to be drugged. Her breathing sounded a little strange," Jaylene reported.Olivia paused, then chuckled, "Well, thank goodness I saved her!"Her "good" deeds weren't without purpose. After Cordelia's birthday party, Olivia delved into the case of her husband and his mistress. She discovered that the truth was even harsher than what Stella had told her. N
Dahlia told Olivia that she had a good relationship with Darcie. "If Jaylene got together with Keegan, Darcie and I would be in-laws. I'm sure Jaylene wouldn't just let me fend for myself."Olivia was not amused by the idea. 'Your son doesn't want anything to do with you, and you want to set him up with someone for your sake?'Did you forget how Keegan reacted when he discovered that you caused Stella's infertility? He clearly still loves her. How in the world would he get together with Jaylene?'Does she even know her son? Why would a man like Quentin ever fall for such an idiot???'Olivia underestimated Dahlia. When things did not work out between Keegan and Jaylene, Dahlia took outlandish measures to ensure it worked out. Dahlia took the initiative to tell Olivia about her plan of drugging Keegan and sending Jaylene into his room to get things going. Naturally, she did not want to get her hands dirty, so she asked Olivia to do it since she had a vast network of contacts and knew
The other person's hand went under Stella's clothes, groping her smooth tender skin. Stella was so frightened that the hairs on her back stood on end. "Please let me go. I'll give you any amount you want. Please,' she said in a hoarse and trembling voice.Keegan looked at the sexy woman before him and swallowed without saying a word. He thought he was dreaming when he saw the person he had longed for lying beside him. He flushed the moment he woke up. It occurred to him that it was not a dream when he felt the warmth underneath his palm.Keegan was confused about what was going on, but that did not stop him from teasing Stella. He continued to rub his hands all over her waist in silence. There was a thin layer of goosebumps on her skin, which Keegan found cute. He could not help but lower his head and kiss her stomach.Stella was so frightened that she almost cursed out loud. She suppressed her fear and said in a hoarse voice, "Please. I was married once. My ex-husband left me becau
'Is this dude crazy? Does he actually have a crush on me?' Stella's mind was racing all over the place. "That sounds wonderful," she said.Keegan paused, and his eyes lit up. His face remained calm as he asked, "Really?""Yeah. We, as women, want men who can provide a stable lifestyle. You seem like someone who could do that, based on what you told me. A reliable man lets his partner handle the assets. My ex-husband wasn't like that. After being married to him for so many years, he never gave me any financial power. That was why we got divorced."Keegan's expression subtly changed. "Didn't you divorce because of your low sex drive?""Ah?" Stella was taken aback. "Yeah. I became depressed because I had no say in our financials, which then caused a drop in my sex drive. I'm sure it'd be different with you." While speaking, Stella's right thumb broke free from the rope. She then continued to wiggle all her other fingers out quietly."Oh?" Keegan gritted his teeth and said, "Show me."
Stella's eyelashes fluttered while her eyes were closed. 'Am I hallucinating? Why does that sound like Keegan?'"Stella." The voice got closer. "Stella, open your eyes. There's no one else in here. Look, it's me."Stella slowly opened her eyes, and the blurry figure in front of her started to become apparent. It was Keegan. She burst into tears once she calmed down. She hugged Keegan and proceeded to hit him as she cried out, "You bastard! Why did you scare me like that, you mutt?!"Keegan knew he was in the wrong, so he did not dare to talk back at her. He hugged her back tightly, no matter how much she tried to break free. Keegan then tried to comfort her by saying, "Don't cry. I'm sorry. I was just fooling around. It wasn't real, okay?"Stella was in shock. The fear of the unknown after being drugged in the car and brought to a hotel really scarred her. She even thought she would have to have sex with her captor for a moment.When Stella gradually stopped crying, Keegan asked,
Stella hugged onto her knees and curled up into a ball. "I-It's just an aphrodisiac. I'll take a cold bath and wait for the drug to wear off. I'll be fine."She was so stubborn that Keegan had no choice but to go to the bathroom and fill the tub. He pursed his lips when he thought of the person on the bed being tortured by the drug.When the water was ready, Keegan came out of the bathroom and called for Stella. But, she was lying on the bed and out of strength. She sat up limply when she heard the man calling her. Keegan looked at her for a few seconds, bent down to pick her up, and carried her to the bathroom.As her body was soaked under water, she suddenly frowned and asked, "Why does it feel warm?""The cold tap is broken, so there's only the hot option. It's okay. The water will cool down after a while.""How long will that take?" Stella asked, feeling uncomfortable in the warm water. Keegan took a mug and sat down by the bathtub. "I'll move the water around to make it cool
Keegan's blood turned cold. "Do you know what you're asking me right now?" he gritted his teeth and asked."Mhm," Stella replied.Keegan bit her lip angrily and said, "Mhm?"Stella frowned in pain. "Don't you men like it when there are no commitments?""Who even told you that?"Stella could not control herself. She reached out to touch Keegan, but he stopped her and said in a low voice, "Tell me, and I'll allow you to touch me."As soon as Stella heard that Keegan was willing to let her touch him, she immediately confessed that she had seen a post about it on the internet. "What did it say exactly?" Keegan undid a button and continued to elicit information from her. "In detail, and I'll let you see what's under here."Stella was not someone with a strong will. Now that she was under the influence of the drug, Keegan seemed like her walking antidote. Her rationality had been thrown out the window at that point. So, she told Keegan about the post. Although she kept quiet about inf
