Anna was about to unbutton her jeans but stopped abruptly.Liam shot a glance at her, his lips curved into an expression that resembled a smile. His gaze fell back to the fingers placed on the buttons of her jeans. “Why did you stop?”Anna narrowed her eyes, her long lashes overlapping each other.She mocked, “Even if I take it off, what can you do? You’re gay!”“...”An intense flame ignited behind his eyes. How dare that tiny woman call him gay!Moreover, she even insinuated that he could not do anything to her!Was she challenging her assertiveness?He moved closer to Anna. His cool breaths landed on Anna’s cheek. They felt like tiny feathers tickling her cheek. A numbing sensation surged across her body.“Try me,” he challenged. His voice was low and husky, with an overbearing tone of entitlement. Startled, Anna stepped back but found herself backed up against a wall.Liam took a step forward, pressed one hand against the wall, and trapped her. He leaned in closer and l
Anna was still in a blur. Only snippets of memories remained in her mind. All she knew was that a pair of strong arms was carrying her somewhere.When she finally snapped out of her trance, she found herself lying on a big, soft bed. She pushed against the heavy body on top of her with all her might.Weakly, she whimpered, “No...”A man’s heavy breathing sounded beside her ear. “What are you saying no to?”His chilly lips gently pinched at her earlobe. A numbing sensation overcame her. In an instant, all her strength was drained from her body.“No… Don’t…”Her breathing grew unsteady. A tinge of red appeared in her eyes.Liam felt his throat tighten even more. He started to undo his shirt buttons one by one, revealing his firm and muscular chest. At that moment, he was an animal.He leaned onto her. Anna let out a soft whimper.She widened her eyes as much as she could, but her vision remained cloudy and her mind was just as foggy. Once again, her lips were caught between his.
“I… Y-you…”Anna did not know what to say.Her last bit of consciousness was clearly rejecting him, yet her body was going against her mind, clinging onto him in hopes that he could fill the hole deep within her.With much effort, she regained some awareness. Gazing into his deep, ocean-like eyes, she felt ripples forming in her heart.She had never seen such deep eyes before.They were bright like a boundless ocean of stars yet infinitely deep like a black hole in space at the same time. Anna felt as if she were being sucked into his ocean eyes.Liam smirked as he stared at her constantly twisting body. In a low voice, he teased, “You said no, but it seems your body is the honest one here.”Having said that, his lips landed on her cheek and kissed her chaotically. Unexpectedly, a salty taste filled his mouth.Liam was taken aback. He looked up to see Anna staring at him with misty eyes. Tears rolled down her cheeks.Her sorrow and despair were displayed in her tear-filled e
Liam took back the lead to kiss her tantalizing lips hungrily. All her innocence had been devoured. Anna reciprocated in a disorderly manner, pouring fuel onto his raging flame.Her clothes came off, unveiling a beautiful scene.The pain made her yelp.Her body shook. She clutched onto the bedsheet with both hands, forming waves of creases across the bed.Liam’s expression tightened. Noticing that it was her first time, his movements became slower and much gentler.He caressed her sexy body, taking in the sweet scent of the drunk woman as he planted tiny kisses all over her body.The pain faded away gradually. Subconsciously, she started to receive him.Seeing this, a satisfied grin appeared on Liam’s face. He grabbed onto her tiny waist and started to thrust… The clock on the wall ticked as time passed by.Through the giant floor-to-ceiling windows, the brilliant lights of the bustling city could be seen. At the same time, the activity in the room was vaguely reflected on
Anna’s inbox overflowed with missed calls and messages from Bryan.She felt a sharp sting in her heart the moment she saw his name.[Anna, where are you? I can’t find you anywhere. I’m losing my mind.][Anna, please call me back when you see this…][Anna, I’m so worried about you. I’ve been looking for you all night. Where are you?]Anna, Anna, Anna…These ‘caring’ messages disgusted her to no end.Just then, a call from Bryan came in again. In a moment of panic, Anna declined the call, switched off her phone, and tossed it away.Soon after, Jamie found his spare keys and rushed back into the room. When he saw Anna sitting silently on the sofa, he could finally let out a sigh of relief.He was genuinely worried that after taking two heavy blows in a night, Anna would do something stupid.Rays of light penetrated the window and shone onto Anna’s fair face, making her skin appear even paler. Even the veins beneath her skin could be seen.Her long and curly lashes cast beautifu
As Anna stepped closer to Chloe, Chloe stumbled backward out of guilt.Even so, Chloe retained the bright smile on her face. Like the obedient and adorable little sister she once was, Chloe gazed at her sister with loving and respectful eyes.Anna was secretly commending her in her heart. She had never realized how amazing Chloe’s acting skills were!“You should know where I was,” Anna replied coldly. A hint of resentment could be felt in her tone.Chloe’s expression finally changed, but she quickly put on another smile. “Hmm? How would I know where you were, Anna? I didn’t see you last night.”“Haha…”Anna let out a dry laugh. “Chloe, Lincoln Group also has investments in movie production companies. Maybe you should interview for a role there. I think the career suits you perfectly.”Finally, the smile on Chloe’s face was showing signs of fracture. “Anna, what are you saying? I don’t understand.”“Out of my way!” Anna yelled.Chloe’s chest tightened. Hesitantly, she took two
The next day, Anna went to a hospital for LASIK surgery that corrected her myopia.She had always wanted to do this procedure, but Nicole stopped her every time. According to her, glasses made women appear smarter and more academically profound. Anna had always known about Nicole’s scheme, but she convinced herself that appearance did not matter—it was her inner beauty that mattered.“Jamie, you were right. The world only cares about your face.”“My dear, it’s not too late to make that realization.”…On Sunday, the atmosphere at the Dawson family mansion was jolly.Countless celebrities and renowned businessmen from all walks of life had gathered together to celebrate the respectable Grandmother Dawson’s 70th birthday.The Dawson family’s ancestors were once nobles of Johannes City. Although they were not the richest in Johaness City right then, the family name was still well known and highly regarded within the city. Moreover, they had marriage relations with the billionaire
Almost all the esteemed guests had arrived. On the contrary, the future daughter-in-law of the Dawson family had not arrived. Whispers arose among the crowd.“This Hamilton lady sure is pompous. I can’t believe she’s late for her grandmother-in-law’s birthday party.”“Grandmother Dawson’s future granddaughter-in-law is late for her birthday party. How embarrassing for the Dawson family.”Anxious, Daniel called Anna dozens of times. Grandmother Dawson, too, was constantly sending people out to check if Anna had arrived.Humiliated, Daniel’s expression turned darker than a storm.Nicole whispered to him, “Anna’s behavior has become quite intolerable these few days. Could she be acting so arrogantly because she knows she’s taking over Lincoln Group soon? I can’t believe she would embarrass even Grandmother Dawson.”Daniel scoffed. “Humph! What a naive little brat! Who does she think she is? Without the help of the Dawson family, her transition into Lincoln Group would never be smoot
