Williams Mansion

Manhattan, New York, US. 1 PM

“Oh my God,” Josephine Williams gasped, covering her mouth in surprise when she saw Claire standing at the mansion door.

“Mom,” Claire gave a brief smile and reached out to hug her.

They had met briefly yesterday, but that encounter meant nothing to either Josephine or Claire. At the time, everything was chaotic, and Claire’s only concern had been calming Cecilia, who was crying hysterically out of fear.

“My dear,” Josephine sighed as she hugged Claire, “I’ve been waiting for word from you since last night.”

“Sorry to make you worry, Mom. I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me.”

“I know you’re fine,” Josephine released the hug and cupped Claire’s face, looking at her closely. “I just needed to hear from you. It’s the only thing that could ease my mind.”

But now, she was in New York, and… she felt like she had to visit one of the graves she missed the most—Michael’s grave.“Daddy, I’m scared,” Cecilia said quietly, hiding her face against Mikael’s chest.“Aren’t you here with Daddy and Mommy?” Mikael kissed her hair softly, “You don’t need to be scared, right?”“Yes, Daddy.” Cecilia nodded but kept hiding her face, making Mikael chuckle affec

It was as if the woman was purposely making Mikael feel tormented.“I hope you don’t mind if I use your bathroom, Mike.” The woman whispered softly into his ear, tossed her blonde hair around Mikael’s neck and face, and then briefly kissed his cheek.Mikael smiled sarcastically, “I don’t mind whatever you do, Linda.” His hand moved quietly to grab her waist.Linda’s slender waist felt so right in his hands. Mikael couldn’t wait for the moment when she would lie under him with erotic sounds that teased his ears.“I’m quite happy that you haven’t forgotten my name.” She raised an eyebrow and followed Mikael’s order by sitting on his lap—pressing the sensitive point of his groin.“Didn’t we just get together two days ago?”“Yeah,” Linda nodded her head, “but I believe you’ve changed more than five wom

You’ll have mine, and I’ll make another one for you.” Claire blinked as the voices broke through her sleep. She opened her eyes for a few seconds, but the pull of sleep soon coaxed them shut again. Sunlight poured through the large windows at the center of the room, illuminating the sofa that faced the balcony. Despite it being late in the year, the day was bright enough for the midday sun to break through and gently warm Claire’s still-closed eyelids. She stretched, feeling a familiar ache from yesterday morning—the same kind of soreness she used to experience years ago. As much as she wanted to forget what had happened last night, Claire couldn’t deny that when she closed her eyes, all she could think about was the way Mikael had kissed her, letting his hands roam her body—touching her with tenderness and passion. “Daddy,

Her eyes were closed while her body, from her waist down to her feet, was covered by the thick blanket he had given her after they had finished their long, wild sex.Claire’s confession had made Mikael lose control. He didn’t know how else to express the madness in his heart but through a kiss, a reflex to Claire’s long confession. However, that kiss had only ignited a fire within him, pulling him back into the burning circle.And the more surprising thing was... Claire accepted his touch.Mikael leaned down to kiss Claire’s shoulder and whatever else his lips could reach—her head, her forehead, and the nape of her neck, which was covered by strands of her red hair.Claire had stopped coloring her hair since Mikael wasn’t sure when.
