Chapter 75 - Bay is still BayElizabeth observed Coralie for a few seconds and then forced a smile."No, it's not really a private matter. Since my husband is a very influential man, sometimes I may not be secure.""Being from a simple family, it may not be easy. But I believe he always protects you, right?" Coralie asked calmly, brushing her hair."Yes... Richard is always protecting me."Coralie sensed the sincerity in her words, as well as her emotions when her eyes sparkled."It's a shame that people like us don't stand a chance with such powerful men," she mused."Seems like you've been through something like that?" Elizabeth asked, noticing Coralie's discomfort when touching on the subject."No, a lady like me, how could I..." She pressed her lips with a discreet smile."When I was younger.""No, but I've seen some girls in that situation, and you're no different, right? Since your supposed husband has another engagement planned," she commented casually, but inside she was thril
Chapter 76: Conflicts of a Heart"Why are you asking?" Elizabeth inquired, her expression odd."You seem strange," he commented, scrutinizing her suspiciously."It's nothing, just curious. What's happening in these three days?""Your recovery. A stylist will come in three days, and on that day, I want you to be more beautiful than you've ever been," he declared with conviction, leaving Elizabeth puzzled.Meanwhile, Taylor was in the same restaurant where Richard had met Bay. The secluded place seemed perfect for all kinds of meetings, including a secret gathering organized by Taylor, Emma, Ursula, and her father."I can't believe you found a weakness to bring down Richard," Taylor celebrated, holding a glass of wine."Well, he toyed with my daughter and decided not to keep his own word. Obviously, I wouldn't let that go," Afonso explained."As soon as I read that invitation, I couldn't have received better news."At that moment, Ursula looked at him in surprise."But who told you the
Chapter 77: Richard's Mysterious SurpriseShe rose, still sitting on the edge of the table, only to find a knife at her throat. A hooded man had cornered her."Don't think you're invincible just because you kill deliberately," he declared with a fierce look. However, she smiled and lay back down, sighing calmly."If you were thinking of saving them, I'm sorry, they're all dead," she smiled, and her laughter sounded like music to Jayden's ears."Why do you do these things?" he asked, putting away the knife."It's my job.""Since when?""Can we talk here?" she asked, standing up and facing him, realizing how close he was. He didn't even notice the position he was in, between her legs. "There are too many dead people, and the smell of fresh blood is starting to bother me, but you being between my legs is intriguing me a bit," she teased, making him step back awkwardly."Don't let your thoughts wander to things that don't exist!" he scolded, while she held back laughter disappointedly."H
Chapter 78: What Richard is PlanningElizabeth didn't see Richard, even when she was ready. The stylist bid her farewell and left her alone in her room, with orders not to leave. Finally, someone knocked on the door, but thinking it was Richard, Jayden entered the room and briefly stared at her with no reaction."Mrs. Leblanc," he sighed, bowing slightly in reverence, extending his hand as an invitation."Where is Richard?" she asked uncertainly, feeling her chest tighten."He has already left and will be waiting for you. Shall we?" he called again, getting up and straightening his posture. She then passed by him without looking at him."You look as beautiful as the first time you were seen in such a gorgeous dress," he commented as they walked slowly down the corridor."Are you trying to be nice? I know you don't like me, so why are you complimenting me?""It's not that I don't like you; I just didn't trust you. Both Richard and I have had our reasons to stay away from people.""I al
Chapter 79: Ursula's Dark PlanThe hall was filled with anticipation; criticism and suspicion permeated the conversations until the door finally opened. Ursula was divine, smiling when, suddenly, an unexpected scene took over the hall, leaving everyone surprised."But... what's happening?" murmured Ursula, reacting instantly as attention turned to the elegant man standing at the main entrance, and beside him, a woman who dazzled everyone in her wedding dress. Though not overly extravagant, it was richly crafted, filled with details that added even more radiance to its wearer."That scoundrel," Ursula's father grumbled. Like everyone else, they were confused, except Ryuk and Brian, who had already understood Richard's choice."He barely escaped." Ryuk whispered to Brian."Well, well..." Emma smiled contentedly. "I said a man like him wouldn't surrender to any threat." Taylor smiled bitterly as he looked at Emma."What are you now, an admirer of my enemy?," he asked, annoyed."No, I jus
Chapter 80: A Heavy GirlJayden remained leaning against the wall, cornering her."It's been a while since I've known you and Elizabeth. I don't see you as women, wouldn't have any wrong desire."How boring!" She grumbled, pushing him away and walking towards the hall, leaving Jayden behind."Ah, I'm so frustrated with Elizabeth." Brian grumbled again." How can I not dance with her? This time, she seems so happy... just today, it's a one in a million day..." he sighed enviously."Because she is." Ryuk commented indifferently." Sometimes I even think she's ashamed to be our sister."Relax, and again with this topic." Their mother, Eliza, sighed." Your sister is being happy like an ordinary woman. Maybe there's no price for the media to see a man like Richard openly declaring his love for such a simple woman. It's like a fairy tale."I doubt he would do that if she were really a simple woman." Brian grumbled."As far as I know, he would. After all, he tried." She commented ironically.G
Chapter 81. Gaby's Machinations.Jayden managed to find the room and entered, advancing towards Taylor to get him off Elizabeth. However, he wasn't in full capacity; in fact, everything was spinning for him. Taylor knocked him down, leaving him dazed."Thought we'd let you stay clear-headed?" Taylor asked, approaching Jayden with a glass bottle, ready to attack. "You're always a pain..." He smirked, watching Elizabeth squirm on the bed. "Oh well..."He smashed the bottle at the edge of the table, and the sharp edges of the glass were now menacingly pointed at Jayden."I'll make her mine while your blood spreads across the room. That seems even more exciting," he sighed, raising the broken bottle ready to strike Jayden, but suddenly, he fell unconscious at Jayden's feet, who was just expecting death."I thought this would be boring, but I'm having too much fun. I could kill him now; it might compensate for attempting the life of someone I love," Jayden commented, staring at his unconsc
Chapter 82. In Secret, In Rooms."I'm lucid, but my body is too hot, the sensation..." she murmured, closing her eyes and pressing her legs together, rubbing them against each other while biting her lips. Richard then approached, stopping in front of her."The sensation?""It's like you're touching me, and... the memory of your tongue is here too," she confessed, blushing, but she was too desperate to care about what she was saying. "I..." she murmured, reaching out, touching the edge of the towel around his hips, then descending to his erection, which was at the level of her face just inches away."I still don't have the memory of your tongue here," he commented, letting the towel fall to the floor, taking a step forward, closing the distance between his erection and her face.One of his hands slid from her jaw to her lips, gently parting them in a massage that stirred her instincts even more, making every inch of his member pulse painfully. He cupped her face, feeling a bit of disco
