The temperature in the car rose rapidly.Anna’s breath quickened and she looked at him, his handsome face was mere inches from hers, all she could smell was his unique masculine scent, her heart started beating rapidly in her chest.“Uhm… you really… want to be my strength?” She whispered. Liam hooked a finger under his chin, forcing her to hold her head and look into his eyes that were as deep as the oceans. “I told you, I’m your man now.”Anna almost let the words rush out of her mouth, ‘What about in the future?’Would he still be hers?The answer was definitely no. He never thought of entrusting his future to her, he just needed and was interested in her now.Anna helplessly let go of the obsession hidden in the depths of her heart, and smiled and wiped the sweat off her forehead.“That’s great! I’ll follow your every instruction. But now, can you send me home? I haven’t slept in two days.”Seeing her softening attitude, Liam rejoiced, “Sure! I’ll send you home now.”Anna faked n
Liam stared at Anna’s sleeping form and shook his head helplessly.“This girl, why does she like to sleep in bathtubs so much? I even have to worry about you when you’re taking a shower. The moment I take my eyes off you, who knows what will happen?”Liam lifted her out of the bathtub, wrapped her up with a towel, and placed her on the bed. Then, he dried her hair slowly with a dry towel.Anna was fast asleep, comfortable and snug, yet she suddenly dreamed of Nina advising her solemnly, “You have to be careful when dealing with Mr. Ackman, keep your guard up at all times. The moment you let your guard down, he’ll devour you whole…”Anna was shocked awake, noticing Liam sitting beside her in nothing but a towel, revealing his beautiful body, and immediately she felt her hackles rise.“You, you… what are you doing?”“What am I doing?” Liam held a first-aid kit in his hands, “What do you think I’m doing?”Anna glanced down at her arm, the bandages were open and unwrapped, did he change he
Early the next morning, Anna was still deeply asleep, but she was rudely awakened by the ring of her phone, she fumbled around and grabbed her phone.“…who is it?”Nina’s agitated voice drifted from across the phone, “Anna, come to SN quick, I have good news for you!”“What good news?” Anna rubbed her eyes sleepily. “Our proposal has been approved!” Nina shouted happily.“What? Approved?” Anna sat up in surprise, all traces of sleep gone.“This morning, Mr. Ackman sent an email to the company, personally approving the proposal! He even gave us a special reward, come quick!”Anna was so happy she could dance on the spot! She jumped off the bed, she thought Liam was home but the huge house was empty, his form was nowhere to be seen.“It’s still so early, and he already left!”Anna was slightly disappointed, but in the blink of an eye, she rushed into the bathroom to prepare for the day and rushed to SN as fast as possible.Nina was waiting for her at the entrance. At the sight of her, s
Everyone looked towards Anna.“Anna Hamilton is pretty daring; how could she sell the sample? That’s considered cheating! She’ll be kicked out!”“She’s also taking a risk, what if it doesn’t sell? Then she can’t earn a single cent!”“Anna Hamilton is the successor of the Lincoln Group, their main businesses lie in advertising and entertainment. Which advertising company wouldn’t give her some extra leeway? With a word, many of them would give her their money willingly and buy her samples.”“No wonder she earned so much money.”“Even so, she’s the top of the class, our designs are nothing compared to hers!”“It’s still cheating!”Many of her classmates started to look at her disdainfully, requesting for Olivia Finch to punish Anna and Nina.Olivia glanced towards Anna, “Hamilton, did you cheat?”Anna frowned, “What’s considered cheating?”“…”“…”The crowd was silent for a moment and then burst into roaring laughter, “She doesn’t even know what’s considered cheating, that’s just ridicul
Anna’s lips curved into a smile, eyes alive with the fire of hope, looking at Jennifer unblinkingly.“Jennifer, the person who cheated, is you!”“What are you saying?!” Jennifer was so angry her tone climbed a notch.Anna laughed and walked towards her, her voice calm and steady, so all her classmates could hear her.“To earn a high salary, you worked as a chest model at a lingerie company!”Their surroundings exploded in a cacophony of noises. “She’s the daughter of the Wurst family, a socialite through and through. How could she be a chest model, just to place first!”Jennifer blushed till the tips of her ears were red, “Anna Hamilton! Shut up! Who… I never did that!”“I have photos as proof, they’re original, not photoshopped. It shows your face clearly!” Anna raised her phone up high.Her classmates’ eyes shone brightly, “Let me see, let me see!”“Send it to the class group, we can all share it!”Nina laughed, “That’s right Anna, send it to us! We want to see what she’s hiding und
“What photos?” Anna was confused.Jennifer screamed in fury, “Anna Hamilton, don’t play dumb in front of me!”Anna finally realized, “You’re talking about the photos of you modeling as a chest model?”“Where did the photos come from? The advertising company promised to keep it a secret! Besides, originals like this would never be circulated to the public!” Jennifer glared at Anna like she wanted to kill her if she could.Anna laughed, “That’s true, you’re the pearl of the Wurst family, if the photos were circulated, you’d be ruined!”“That’s right, everyone will be thinking whether your family has fallen? For you to take on work like this to earn money.” Nina added. “Anna Hamilton, where did the photos come from?!” Jennifer shouted in anger.“Shush, lower your voice, people might hear you. You’re the one who’ll be embarrassed, I don’t mind at all.” Anna faked concern and put her finger on her lips in a shushing motion. Jennifer was about to explode at any minute.“You’re still not ans
Anna arrived at Fitzrovia Hills on time at 5 pm, Liam’s mansion.Even though she didn’t know what he wanted this time, but it was all for the best. She had something she wanted to say to him.When she rang his doorbell, she was initially worried he would eat her up like dessert but after the past few days, she wasn’t so worried anymore.He seemed to defy her expectations; he didn’t just want her to fulfill his physical needs.Unexpectedly, the door to the mansion was merely pushed closed and opened with a light touch. She entered the mansion to find the room completely quiet. There was no noise at all, only the sunlight filtered through the windows and landed on the black floorboards, reflecting warmth.She called out quietly. “Mr. Ackman?”There was no reply.She walked further inside, “Mr. Ackman?”Once again, there was no reply.When she was approaching the bedroom, the door behind her slammed shut, and she was enveloped in a hug from behind. Immediately a cool kiss landed on her
Anna was determined to go against Liam.Liam pointed at his cheek innocently and said, “You kissed me, you must take responsibility.”Anna almost vomited blood, “I’ve been kissed by you countless times, why don’t you take responsibility?”“I did!”“When? Where? I didn’t see you doing so!”“You’re so heartless, what can you see!”“Hmph! Excuses!” Anna pursed her lips, turning her face to the side.Liam stared at her full, pursed lips, and swallowed, “If you do this again, I…”Anna could feel the changes in his body, she hurriedly changed her expression and said to him sternly, “I’m serious! I want to use my own abilities, and gain my rightful place as number one! I don’t want anyone thinking I cheated and took the easy way out; I also don’t want to feel any traces of guilt when I finally make it.”“Besides…” Anna lowered her eyes, long lashes fluttering, “The reward I got this time, I didn’t win fair and square. Although the proposal that was approved in the end was a completely new ide
