“Your hair smells good. What shampoo did you use earlier?” asked Alex, returning to playing with Claire's hair.
Alex's question made Claire roll her eyes.
“Pretend to forget your memory. You're the one who put shampoo in my hair,” Claire said. Alex smiled and grinned.
Claire was right. Actually, this morning after they woke up, Alex suddenly carried Claire to the bathroom under the pretext of wanting to take a shower together. Claire couldn't refuse because Alex said that taking a bath together with his wife was one way to make the household more harmonious.
But in the bathroom, they spent more than two hours. Because Alex continued to play pranks on Claire by occasionally teasing her body. Making Claire both amused and embarrassed.
Moreover, Alex was so gentle when lathering and putting shampoo in Claire's hair. All the touch and attention the man gave he
By late afternoon, Claire was ready and presentable. She stood in front of her bedroom mirror while applying lipstick on her lips.After putting on the lipstick, Claire grabbed a scarf that she had taken from the closet, and wrapped it around her neck.“Well, this is better,” said Claire, still looking at her reflection in the mirror.Although wearing a scarf around her neck wasn't her habit, she couldn't help but wear the pink gradation-colored scarf this afternoon. Because there were some of Alex's kiss marks clearly visible on her neck.Whether intentionally or not, Alex had too much fun playing with Claire's neck to leave many red marks.“You're not wearing a scarf.” Alex had just come out of the bathroom, while still wearing a towel hanging around his waist, Alex looked at Claire and commented.Hearing Alex's blameless comment, Cl
“So you're disappointed that my hand didn't get hurt?” asked Alex, raising one eyebrow at Claire. His hands were crossed in front of his chest.Claire shook her head. “It's not that. I'm just upset that you made me panic and worry. But it turns out you were just lying. Because your joke wasn't very funny!” Claire grumbled resentfully. Her lips were getting more and more pouty. Making Alex feel anxious.Alex smiled slightly. He turned off the stove and hugged Claire from the side.“Sorry. It's okay. I won't do it again next time. That's it! Don't gloat like that. When I see you pouting like this, I can't help but want to rub your lips,” Alex joked. Making Claire laugh.“You're like a goose already, you love to poke!”Alex laughed too. He lifted Claire's body and twirled her around until she had to hold onto Alex's well-built shoulder
Holding up her yellow luxury watch, Claire turned to Brant and squinted.“I chose this yellow color because I know that everything you wear is always dark. By wearing this yellow watch, maybe your days will become more cheerful,” Claire said as she held up the watch.Hearing that, Brant just smiled wryly and shook his head.“Well, whatever you want, ma'am.”After paying with the black card Alex had given her, Claire and Brant exited the store.However, Claire's steps suddenly stopped and made Brant look at her."Brant, I need to pee. Give me a minute to go to the restroom," Claire pleaded while slightly tucking the tops of her legs together."Okay. Come on, I'll take you to the restroom." Brant was about to walk. But Claire immediately held him back."You're crazy! You're a man. How could you follow me into the ladies' room?"Brant was silent for a moment. It was also true what Claire said.
“Mr. Noah is calling you to dinner.” A butler named Vely walked into Claire's room.Claire was sitting hugging her knees on the bed. Her eyes briefly turned to the butler, but she immediately glanced away.“Tell your master I don't want to! If he wants to eat, he can eat himself!” Claire refused unconcernedly.Even though her stomach was currently feeling a bit sore.“It's not an offer, it's an order! And in this house no one has ever dared to defy Mr. Noah's orders.” Vely's tone now turned stern.“Bring her!” Vely next ordered the two female servants behind him.“Okay.”“No! Don't come any closer! I don't want to eat dinner with your master. I'd rather starve to death here.” Claire shouted and tried to get away.But the two servants didn't seem to care. Their hands forcefully dragged Claire's hand, pulling her to go downstairs where Noah was currently sitting behind a spacious dining table by himself.There was a lot of sumptuous food spread out on the table.The handsome man's lips
“You don't want to involve the police? You must be afraid of going to jail again, right?” Alex taunted then looked sarcastically at Noah. “Okay, how about we fight one on one without using weapons? If I win, then you have to free Claire.” Alex offered.Noah's eyes narrowed for a moment as if he was thinking about Alex's invitation to fight with him.Even though Noah knew Alex was good at martial arts, Noah was not at all afraid because he was getting stronger and better at many things.“Alright, I agree with your offer. But, since Claire has such a delicious body. Then it would be a pity if I didn't utilize that for my own pleasure. If you lose, I'll set Claire free and won't bother you anymore. But if I win, then I will keep Claire as my woman of desire,” Noah said and then grinned with satisfaction at Alex's suddenly tense face.Yes! Alex himself had initiated the bet. So as a man, Noah agreed to accept the bet.Alex's jaw tightened until his neck veins stood out. His chest felt hot
Three days passed.Today was the day that Alex and Noah would both make their bets.According to the agreement, Alex had to arrive no later than six in the evening."It's already five forty minutes. It looks like Alex won't be coming. That husband of yours would rather have you as my lady of desire than help you." Noah spoke to Claire who was standing beside him.They were currently standing on the front porch of Noah's spacious house. Their gazes were both fixed on the gate of Noah's house, awaiting Alex's arrival.Claire herself was getting nervous. Cold sweat flooded her temples.“Why don't you just kill me, Noah?” challenged Claire.Noah's eyes narrowed. He couldn't believe this woman still dared to challenge him.“I don't want to waste your body by killing you, Claire.” Noah showed the watch in his hand."Let's count together, Claire. If Alex doesn't come at the last second, then close your eyes and prepare to say goodbye to your life! Thirteen... twelve... eleven..."Squeezing h
The question Alex asked made Claire's heart sink. "So you believe what Noah says? Even though when you fought with Noah in the boxing ring, I told you that everything Noah said wasn't true?" Claire's face looked disappointed.Her eyeballs locked eyes with Alex's blue ones. Alex tried to decipher Claire's look which implied seriousness.Alex's head lowered and her nose now traced Claire's neck and shoulders while inhaling the fragrance of the woman's body.“I don't smell any traces of Noah's touch here,” Alex whispered raising her head and making Claire smile. Alex was acting like he had a wolf's sense of smell. He was just joking around to get rid of the awkwardness between them.Claire sighed in relief that Alex believed her."He was going to touch me, but I refused him vehemently. I don't want to be anyone's woman, except Mr. Knight," Claire said which made Alex stare at her.Alex gulped roughly, then he cupped both of Claire's cheeks and immediately licked those sweet lips.Claire'
A few months later...Claire was reading a book while sitting on the sofa in the living room.The large TV in front of her was left on. Even though her eyes were not looking at it.Meanwhile, Alex's head was lying on her thigh. While still busy reading the book, Claire's right hand occasionally moved gently to stroke Alex's soft mane."My son. Let's launch quickly! Daddy can't wait to see you. And Daddy is sure that you can't wait to see Daddy's handsome face. Right?" Claire chuckled amusedly at Alex's confident words.Alex said as he stroked Claire's nine-month-old belly. In just a few days, Claire would soon give birth.Alex's hand was still moving to stroke Claire's stomach. Alex's eyes shot up to look at Claire who was busy with her book that she was reading.“Alex!” Claire squealed as Alex started to be ignorant.“Yes, dear?” Alex asked back with his sinless face."If you want to stroke your belly, that's the right way. Hands don't wander around!" Claire said, glaring at Alex.Th
Alex grasped Claire's hand tightly. "She just worked with Tristan. Tristan is already in jail. Now it's Alice and her mother's turn to rot in prison. They seemed very happy after Alice signed the letter transferring the ownership of my company. Our plan worked. So happy, they didn't suspect that it was just a fake letter to trap them," Alex said, then hugged Sandra's body from the side while giving her arm a stroke.Before this, Claire had listened to many explanations from Alex. About Alex who had never touched the fake Claire during the time the real Claire disappeared from his life.Claire was relieved that her husband hadn't spent a single night with another woman. Likewise, Alex is happy that his original Claire has returned.Even though Alex had yet to reunite Claire with their two children.“Just arrest her now!” Alex ordered the two policemen standing in front of him.“Yes, sir.”The policemen nodded and hurri
“Honey, I'm home!” Alice stepped into the house carrying a lot of papper bags filled with the luxurious things she had just bought.She even ignored Alex's children who were eagerly approaching her. Valen walked quickly over to Alice to show her the results of her drawing at school that got a 100.Until the girl pouted and sat on the sofa hugging her drawing book and watching Alice unpacking."You're finally home. I've been waiting for you." Alex came down the stairs still wearing his work suit.Alice turned around with a smile. "Look dear! I bought some nice shirts for you earlier. Oh yes, today I bought more jewelry and branded bags for my collection. Actually, there are many more purchases placed in the trunk. But they're being taken away by the waiters. Do you think I'd look good with this bag?" Alice said and took one of the Gucci brand bags and showed it to Alex."Good. You match the bag. You didn't buy any toys or stuff for the k
Claire was startled, looking quickly at Tristan. Then she quickly shook her head. "No, it's not. My name is not Wilona. I'm not his girlfriend either. He lied. My name is Clai-"“Wilona!” snapped Tristan with a tightened jaw. His intonation was full of emphasis, which surprised Claire.Claire recalled Tristan's threat to kill her biological mother if she dared to confront him at the airport.“Can we see your boyfriend's face?” the policeman asked again.“What for? Or let us see his passport.”"What's your purpose? We're in a hurry to fly to Australia. You can prevent us from leaving. Besides, there's no requirement that we show you our passports at the airport," Tristan firmly refused.His arms tightened around Claire from the side.Claire's heart began to fret.On the other hand, she felt worried about her mother. However, when else could she escape with this golden opportunity?"Very
Claire brushed him off, then spat in Tristan's face, making him jump in surprise as he closed his eyes.Tristan's right hand was clenched tightly on the steering wheel. It wasn't that he wanted to punch Claire in return, but he was annoyed that she hadn't conquered him yet."Just watch! I'll report you to the police!""Keep your plans to yourself. The police won't help you either. They won't believe you if you claim to have been kidnapped and claim to be Mrs. Knight. Because the fact is, everyone knows that Mrs. Knight is still by Alex's side."Claire was stunned by Tristan's words. “So it's true, there's a woman claiming to be me and she's staying with Alex?”Tristan replied with a lopsided smile.“That's your plan, right, Tristan?”"Yes, dear. It was all I could do not to lose you," Tristan replied, grinning.Claire's heart felt like it was being broken into pieces. It was devastating to think of her h
"Lately, Claire has been shopping for fancy clothes and bags. I don't forbid it, but this is very strange. Usually Claire doesn't care about how expensive the bags and clothes she wears are. She's never been crazy about luxury goods. I don't know why I feel that Claire's character is changing day by day," Alex muttered, scratching his forehead that wasn't itchy.Rubbing his face, Alex exhaled softly.Then a knock on the door distracted him.“Come in!”The door creaked open. Vincent came in with a slow exhale, his expression one of weariness."Sorry, Mr. Knight. There was a bit of a commotion on the seventh floor," Vincent said, informing him."What's the commotion? Why not have security take care of it? Why did you come to my office? Did you think I wasn't busy?!" Alex scowled."I apologize again. The thing is, this commotion was created by Mrs. Knight."“Claire?!” Alex chuckled at that.What was
"Don't cry! I believe you," Alex said, softening his voice.Alice seized the moment to take things further.Her hands slowly moved down Alex's broad chest under the brown pajamas. Then Alice's fingers were about to unbutton Alex's pajamas one by one.The top three buttons were undone. Alice's eyes widened with pleasure at the sight of the firm chest on which she would rest her head after sex.However, Alice's reverie was interrupted when Alex suddenly grabbed both her hands and pulled them away from her body."Why Alex? Why don't you want me to touch you?" Alice asked disappointedly."Don't do that yet, Claire. I'm not feeling very good tonight. Next time," Alex said as he touched Alice's pouting cheeks.“But...” Alice was getting bolder and bolder with the buttons of Alex's shirt.But the naughty hand movement was immediately restrained by Alex. "Sorry, dear. I can't yet. Now go to bed first," Alex concluded as she
Alex and his family had just returned from a vacation in Paris.There were some oddities about his wife while they were enjoying their vacation.One of them was his wife's complete disregard for Valen when the boy was pensive alone in their hotel room.Yes! Valen was mostly pensive in the hotel. While his wife was busy playing with her cell phone and checking her groceries.Alex was astonished. Usually his wife was the least likely to let Valen or their youngest son be pensive alone, let alone with a sad face."You can finally sleep in your room again, Valen. Are you happy?" Alex walked into her daughter's room.Tonight Valen had changed into her favorite hellokitty print pajamas.Alex had also dressed up in brown striped pajamas with short sleeves."Yes, Dad. I'm glad to be home again." Valen replied, smiling with his toothless teeth.Alex smiled broadly, sitting on the edge of the bed as he gently rubbed Valen's arm.
"I've been in this house for quite some time. I haven't even met my children and husband yet. You must have seen the news wrong. Alex and I have never taken a vacation to Paris with our child," Claire said, shaking her head slowly.Hearing Claire's confession, Lenny was shocked.Claire said she's been in this house for a long time? Then, who is the woman with Alex right now?"I was kidnapped. I was in Tristan's house for almost a month. Tristan is a man obsessed with me, he locked me up, forbid me to see my family. Help me, Lenny, I want to see my husband. By now Alex and our two children must be looking for me. They're probably worried about me." Both of Claire's hands held Lenny's.Claire's words this time made Lenny even more stunned. His mouth was hanging open as he could not believe Claire's statement."But Mrs. Knight. I don't think your husband and son are worried about you.""What?! How could you come to such a conclusion?" Claire lo
With all her might, Claire tried to scream. Hoping that her husband would hear and recognize her voice.Unfortunately, Alex's car was already too far away.Claire's tears broke out. Her body suddenly went limp. If only she could make eye contact with Alex, surely he wouldn't think twice about saving her."Mr. Tristan knows you tried to run away from home. He is very angry and waiting for you. Obey us, and we won't hurt you," threatened one of the bodyguards as he instructed the driver to drive the car back to Tristan's house.Upon arriving at Tristan's residence, Claire, who was already weak, let the two bodyguards hold her hand and entered the living room.There, Claire's eyes immediately met with Tristan's eyes that were filled with anger.The man's gaze looked sharply at her, as if he wanted to pounce on her.Claire gave up, she didn't care if Tristan wanted to kill her right now.Clenching his fists firmly, Tristan walked d
