Chapter 47: Elizabeth's Plan"Are you going to argue right now?" she asked impatiently."This is the second time you've pursued this woman. Plus, you defended her even after she slapped me. What's going on?" she asked skeptically. "Even my father saw how you act around her."Taylor looked her in the eyes, displaying seriousness. Slowly, he walked toward Emma, making her apprehensive."Tell me, do you think I love her?" he asked, analyzing her as he held her in his arms.She suddenly smirked. "Look... we've been together for three years, in secret. If you loved her... well, we wouldn't have been together for so long. After a year of being with her... I believe even before that, you were cheating.""Yes, I was never faithful to her. That foolish girl fell for my words, I could deceive her in every way because she trusted me blindly. So, what do you think?""Knowing you, I know it's just jealousy. It's clear that she and Richard haven't had anything yet. You still want to be her first, m
"Chapter 48 - Taylor's Fall"Ailda looked at her apprehensively, knowing she couldn't touch on the subject, yet she was so moved by Elizabeth's situation."Many years ago, when Richard's older sister died, his middle sister, Aloury, married his sister's ex-husband. It seems she had feelings for Richard even then, but Richard was fighting to claim the inheritance from his deceased sister that remained in Ricardo's hands, as he knew that man was only with his sister for her money.""Goodness...""Yes, and when Aloury married Ricardo, Richard's plans fell apart.""And did she also give her share to Ricardo to manage?" Ailda asked, interested. Ailda smiled and shook her head negatively."Aloury's share is in Richard's hands. She couldn't bear the indifference of the only brother she had left, and as a way to depict her betrayal, she yielded her share for Richard to manage. So now he has possession of 75 percent of everything, the share of his deceased brother and his middle sister, Aloury
"Chapter 49 - Ignored""Have you seen the news about the Campbel companies?" Jayden asked, handing the tablet to Richard, who silently analyzed the information, surprised."How is this possible?" he asked, frowning. "So many... all the investors." He discreetly smiled, finding the news interesting."That's not even the most interesting part," Jayden announced, flipping the newspaper page.[Campbel Companies Suffer Considerable Economic Damage After Provoking Zany Bay]."Her?""What did Ricardo do to earn Bay's favor?""I don't know, but surely wouldn't want this kind of attention.""What's my loss with these terminations?""You didn't lose anything; it seems this woman took care to harm only two people, Taylor and his father!"At that moment, Richard stood up seriously. It was confusing enough, but he hadn't come close to suspecting Elizabeth."Do you already know what this girl has to do with Zany Bay? Maybe she was the one who ordered the deaths of those two investors.""From what I
"Chapter 50 - A Remembered Past"Richard Campbell:"Hello, Miss Bay, I believe I have matters of your interest. It's time for us to meet."Alfred:"My regards, Mrs. Bay. Your efforts are remarkable. I'm flattered by your attention to our family and also interested in knowing more details about the reasons behind your recent attack on the Campbells."Taylor Campbell:"Mrs. Bay, I know it might seem a little inconvenient for me to send you this email, but I believe there's no reason for you to attack me and my father like this. We can come to an agreement and resolve this as mature individuals. I never thought you'd be capable of such a low game just because you don't like someone. I thought you were a more reasonable person."
Chapter 52 Insistence."What are you doing?" She asked, aghast, trying to move away from him, but he just unzipped his zipper." No! It's not on my dress!" She protested as he unzipped the garment."It's the most unlikely place."No! Are you in your right mind?" She asked skeptically."Where's the key?" He asked, annoyed."No, until you listen to me, please..."Depends on what I gain from listening to you." He commented indifferently as she tried to fix the dress with only one hand."Maybe I'll ask Bay to make a deal with you, what do you think?" She asked, analyzing him; suddenly, he became pensive.He stretched a skeptical smile, nodding his head affirmatively."Are you trying to buy me?"Well... you can't complain about that, after all... you and my father negotiated me, and I found out it wasn't even because of an economic agreement."Oh no? Then for what was it?"I don't know, you tell me, how about that?"You're wrong, I only married you because I wanted to use it to my advantage
chap 53"I'm going to analyze," he commented thoughtfully as he took the papers, then raising his handcuffed arm, staring at her."Oh... I'm not going to set you free!" he announced, pulling him out of the room."I believe I'll have to do it the old-fashioned way, Miss Leblanc," he grumbled as they headed to the office."What do you mean by the old-fashioned way?" she asked curiously."Oh... I'll show you," he said mysteriously, flashing a sly smile.Elizabeth watched curiously as he went to one of the drawers; what she saw panicked her, after all, Richard now held a blade in his hand."What are you thinking of doing? Are you going to kill me?" she asked, frightened."No, imagine if I had to deal with a rotting body tied to me. I'm going to cut your arm; I'm very skilled with a knife," he said."Richard! Are you going crazy?" she asked when he brought the knife closer to her wrist; then, she shielded it with her hand. Richard laughed at her panicked face and calmly placed the pocketk
Chapter 54 is definitely mine."Are you going to try to escape, make up some excuse?" he asked gently, raising her wrist and noticing the red mark from the handcuff. He subtly squeezed with his thumb, making her squirm in pain. "Silly girl..." he grumbled disapprovingly."You're hurting me..." she whimpered, pulling her hand away, but the pleading way she whined stirred something within him once again as they continued to dampen the table and floor."You're making me think about how your moans would be in a different situation..." he whispered breathlessly, brushing his lips against her ear, making her feel the warmth of his breath amidst the coldness. She sighed pleasurably at the pleasant sensation of his warmth in his words. "I want to devour you, Elizabeth," he growled, biting her earlobe. She arched back, trying to escape, but she could feel the weight of his body over hers, forcing her to lay half of her body on the table over some papers that soon became damp.Skillfully, he li
