With her hands now caressing his entire body, Neal instantly tensed up as he felt his member rise! Fucking hell…! Smirking at his silence, Luna added, “See? Just like last time…” Clenching his fists, he quickly moved her hand away while saying, “…Any man would have a similar response to your actions!” “Really, then? Let’s continue doing this to find out if that claim holds true till the day we die, then…” “…You’re a loony,” growled Neal as he began walking away… but to his surprise, Luna didn’t try to stop him this time. Well, all the better for him! Alas, upon arriving at the gates, he quickly realized that they were locked! No wonder she hadn’t bothered chasing after him! Feeling pissed, he returned to the pool… and sure enough, she was still there. Watching as she struck a seductive pose, Neal squinted before saying, “…Open the gate.” “Feel free to come take the keys from me…” replied Luna as she jingled them… before putting them between her breasts! “…Don’t you thin
With his ego in tatters, he eventually found the will to growl, “…When did you even start becoming like this…” Smirking in response, Luna replied, “Like that matters. What matters is if you’ll take the chance to turn the tables… Unless…?” …That was it. That was the last taunt! Pinning her beneath him, the irked man growled, “…Do you think I’ll keep holding back after all that you’ve done…?! Hmm?!” Though startled by his reaction, she quickly snapped out of it and replied, “Hell yeah! Finally, you’re acting like a man!” …Fucking hell, there was no winning against her, was there?! Now horny and devastated, all the angered man could do was clench his fists before growling, “…As you wish!” When morning finally arrived, Neal awoke to the sight of Luna nestled in his arms… and after a while, he couldn’t help but rub his temples. How the hell had he lost control of his emotions so easily…? His train of thought was cut short when he heard Luna ask, “Hmm…? Someone ready for round tw
Raising a slight brow, Luna coyly said, “What? I thought I was free to meet up with you whenever I wanted…” With how ambiguous her words were, the investors there couldn’t help but exchange glances. Just who was this woman to him? A lover? But he seemed rather icy toward her… Which was it? Sensing their gazes, Neal couldn’t help but squint as he cleared his throat before saying, “…Fine. You can follow us if you’re that free.” It was clear that he couldn’t be bothered with her, and though that hurt Luna’s feelings, she simply nodded. So be it. Alas, since she had come over in high heels and the terrain was by no means easy to traverse, she ended up spraining her ankles quite a few times… Though Neal noticed how hard it was for her, he never said a thing… and it was only about an hour later when the site inspection finally ended. Just as he was about to leave with the executives, he felt Luna grabbing his wrist and saying, “You can’t leave just like that, right…? Surely you want
...Alas, it wasn’t long before her heels snapped! To make things worse, it even began raining! To think that even the gods were mocking her! Following a heavy sigh and knowing that Neal wasn’t coming to her aid anytime soon, she decided to make a call for help… But to her dismay, she realized that she had left her phone in Neal’s car! With no other options left, all Luna could do was activate her safety bracelet to send a distress signal to Lea… Fast forward to about half an hour later, Lea arrived at the scene with a few bodyguards… and when she saw the wretched state that Luna was in, she couldn’t help but purse her lips… Once the guards had managed to carry Luna down the hill, Lea waited till they were on the ride back home before finally grumbling, “…Do you really have to humiliate yourself so much for that man? Have you not seen what happened to Fabiola?” “Doesn’t matter. My only goal is to conquer his heart, and I refuse to believe that I can’t do that!” scoffed Luna as s
...But before even a second had passed, he quickly hung up again. What the hell was he doing?! Wasn’t his wish to have her stop pestering him?! With that in mind, he put his phone down and began working once more… But before long, his phone rang. Could it be…? To his surprise, however, it was merely a business friend of his… “Hey, I have a deal for you, so why don’t we meet up to discuss further?” “…Sure, sounds good.” Shortly after, he arrived at the rendezvous… and by the time an agreement was finally met, it was already ten at night… Taking the chance to drink some wine while he was there, Neal eventually gave his secretary a call to come pick him up… But as he was walking toward the exit… He heard someone call Luna’s name. Was it… The Luna that he knew? Unable to stop himself from looking at the voice’s direction, he was soon greeted by the sight of the woman dressed in a luxurious dress… and by her side, was a man who was taking a selfie with her! Had she already moved o
...Huh? He… had actually helped her? Sure, it was all just an act, but… at the same time, she couldn’t help but feel happy. Watching as Luna kissed Neal on the cheek, Clive couldn’t help but clench his fists. So… it was real? To think that the love of his life already had a fiancé… Forcing a smile, Clive eventually replied, “…Yeah, I’ll stop bothering her… Oh, and before I leave… Please be happy with him, Luna…” Beaming in response, Luna replied, “I will, and I wish the same for you… Don’t worry, I’ll invite you to our wedding when the time comes!” Once the dejected Clive had left, Luna couldn’t help but squeeze Neal’s arm while saying, “…Well, let’s head home, my beloved fiancé…” Snapping out of it, Neal took a while to reply, “…Quit the act already. We both know I’ll never be your fiancé.” Though displeased with that answer, Luna shook her head before saying, “…So are we not going to have some fun either? I’ll leave if that’s your answer…” Upon hearing that, Neal immediat
Shaking her head, Fabiola replied, “No, just a little surprised, that’s all… Regardless, I’ll be rooting for them! Still, Luna looks like an expert at kissing compared to me…” …She didn’t seem like she was lying, and after a subtle smile, Hanley said, “Oh…? Would you like to get that good one day…?” Before the embarrassed Fabiola could reply, Hanley’s lips were already on hers… Oh, how sweet her life was now… Fast forward to the next morning, Luna awoke with a groan. Her entire body ached, but… When she saw the naked man sleeping beside her, she couldn’t help but recall how insane last night had been… Smiling to herself, she gave him a peck on the cheek before grabbing her phone… But the second the screen flickered on, she was greeted by the sight of thousands of messages and missed calls! What the hell? It didn’t take long for her to realize what all the fuss was about… and after a long sigh, she rolled her eyes. What was the commotion about? Sex was a common thing! Her trai
After glancing at Fabiola for a bit, Neal took a deep breath before solemnly saying, “…My goal is to marry her.” Naturally, everyone was left shocked, including Luna! Alas, she had also noticed how he had glanced at Fabiola before making his decision… and that alone made her heart feel extremely bitter. Before Ian could reply, Luna said, “…Daddy, I’m no longer a child. Let me manage my life with him-” “If you were an adult, then you’d think about how everything you do affects our family…! Just what will the people think of us if your actions and responses aren’t justified…?! Even if you don’t want to get married yet, at least make an official statement declaring your relationship with her! That way, this relationship will have at least been official at one point! The last thing I want is for Luna to be some, one-off!” Looking at the infuriated man, Neal eventually replied, “…Understood, Mr. Frankston…” Luna, for one, was against this. After all, she really didn’t like the ide
Staring in shock at the kneeling man, Yulia mustered her remaining sanity as she replied, “B-but you’re younger-” “Even if that’s the case, doesn’t that mean that I’m much more ‘capable’ than your older pursuers…?” …Why were his words so suggestive all of a sudden?! Forcing herself to calm down, she took a deep breath before saying, “…Elliot, I’m not sure what spurred this decision, but… I’m not the one for you. Please find someone your age. I’m sorry.” After saying that, she strode straight for the car… but before she could start the engine, she couldn’t help but notice how desolate he looked standing under the pouring rain… Clenching her fists, it took her a while to finally sigh and walk back to him… “…Are you really sure about this?” asked Yulia, much to Elliot’s delight. “I am! Please! Give me a chance! You won’t regret it!” …When he put it that way, all Yulia could do was help him up before finally deciding to return his kiss… Sure, things had taken a sudden, unex
She stared in horror as he removed his shirt right there and then! “W-what are you doing?!” yelped the startled woman as she quickly looked the other way. “…Huh? I mean, I’m drenched, so…” “E-even so, you shouldn’t change right in front of me!” “…Yulia, we bathed together as children… It’s not like you haven’t seen everything already…” “Y-you can’t compare that to this situation…!” “Fine, fine, I… Um… Go cook, I guess… I’ll go get a change upstairs first…” muttered Elliot as he headed upstairs. Yulia herself had to try her best to calm down! After all, Elliot had been plaguing her mind in the past few days, and… she even had dreams where he had… …No! She couldn’t be thinking about such things! She needed to cook! Maybe that would help get her mind out of the gutter! Once that was done, she’d leave and finally start devising a plan to get rid of him…! As Yulia scurried off, Elliot himself was currently staring at an old photo that showed him eating some candy in Yulia’
Just as she had arrived at her car, the president of the Halls Group suddenly walked up to her, a bouquet in hand! The Halls Group had collaborated several times with the Burtons before, and because of that, she was well acquainted with the man. Sadly, he had also proposed to her on multiple occasions… and though she kept rejecting him, he never seemed to get the hint! “There you are, Miss Burton… Since you’re off work, I was wondering if you’d join me for dinner tonight…” asked the charming man. Feeling awkward, she was just about to come up with an excuse when Elliot suddenly grabbed her by the waist and said, “Oh? Another one of your admirers, Yulia…? Sorry, but she already has a boyfriend, my man. If that doesn’t deter you enough, then you should know that she prefers her partners younger. Now please leave.” Startled to hear that, the man glanced at Yulia, his eyes begging for an explanation… Yulia herself was eager to just escape this embarrassing situation, but before s
With that tale done, it was now time to return to Yulia’s story… Ever since she was a child, she had undergone countless hardships with her mother… and even after she was able to reunite with her father, things didn’t go much easier from there. To make matters worse, Fabiola ended up getting kidnapped for the longest time, resulting in Frank ending up the way he was today… Because of all that, it only made sense that she’d mature much sooner than others her age, and unlike the naïve girl she used to be, she was an extremely competent woman today. Alas, because of how used she became with working, she soon lost the urge to find herself a romantic interest… Things continued that way until… Well, that time that Elliot… …Wait, what was she thinking?! He was younger than her, for heaven’s sake! Quickly shaking her head, she attempted to force herself to concentrate on work again… But before long, a knock was heard on the door. After being allowed in, the department manager entered t
Knowing that there was no point in keeping things a secret anymore, Rea took a deep breath before saying, “…Alright, so… The truth is, I’ve always been highly competent, but… I’ve been pretending to be useless just so that you’d eventually marry me… The trip my parents are taking… That was my suggestion too…” Feeling speechless, it took Frank a long while to reply, “…So you weren’t really drunk when you did all that last night?” Pursing her lips, Rea awkwardly muttered, “…I wasn’t… Luna suggested it, and since it sounded like a good idea to accelerate things…” …Fucking hell, to think that he had fallen straight into her trap without even putting up a fight! Watching as he glowered at her, Rea gulped before adding, “A-anyway, now that we’re married and there’s potentially a baby in my belly, you won’t divorce me, right…?” “…Oh, believe me when I say that divorce is the easy way out! From today onward, I’m making you pay for your actions for the rest of your life!” Fast forwa
Fast forward to the next morning, Rea awoke with a yawn… What a nice sleep… Wait. Why was she naked? And why was Frank…?! Her following scream immediately woke the icy man up… and upon looking at her, he was immediately reminded of what had transpired last night! Essentially, Rea ended up clinging to him, and though he initially wanted to just carry her to bed to let her rest… Damn it! Had she really been that sensual?! How had he lost control so easily?! His train of thought was cut short when he realized that Rea was bawling her eyes out… and after rubbing his temples, he was prompted to say, “…Why are you crying when you’re the one who initiated this? I’ll have you know that I never forced you-” “I-I know, but…! I’ve just…! This is my first time…!” whimpered the quivering woman, prompting Frank to purse his lips. As if he wasn’t in the same situation… “…You’re not alone there.” “It’s not the same! Men are free to sleep with whoever they want but when it comes to women, I’l
“Say, wouldn’t you agree that the food smells delicious…? Why don’t I teach you how to grill, Rea…? Oh, but make sure to take your clothes off first before we start! Wouldn’t want them to get dirty…” With how drunk Rea was, she wasn’t able to fully register his words… and just as he was about to touch her clothes, an icy voice roared, “Stop right there…!” Instantly feeling a shiver run down his spine, the man turned around… and to his horror, it was Frank! Young Master Burton’s perpetually icy son…! Why the hell was he here?! Before the frightened intern could think of how to even react, Frank walked up to him and growled, “Leave now before I chop your hands off…! Don’t make me repeat myself!” Nodding in terror, the man frantically bolted off… and once he was out of sight, Frank glared at the tipsy Rea before adding, “This is what you meant by learning how to be more responsible…?!” “Huh…? But the food really did smell super good… I want to learn…” mumbled the drunk woman.
After leaving his office, he headed off to look for Rea. She had said that she wanted to use the bathroom, but… It had already been half an hour since she disappeared. What trouble had that idiot gotten herself into this time? Thankfully, it wasn’t long before he found her laughing along with some of his interns… When the interns saw him, they were quick to bow and say, “Good morning, Mr. Burton.” Barely even glancing at them, Frank looked at Rea and said, “It’s time to head home.” “I… Won’t be following you back…” “…And why is that? Are your parents back?” “No, it’s just… These are my good friends back from school, and they’ve been staying together to learn to be more independent… With that said… I think that staying with them will be a good start for me to learn more about how the world works. Thank you for taking care of me up till this point, Frank… I won’t bother you anymore.” Raising a slight brow, Frank then looked at the interns for a while before saying, “…Are you
Regardless, after leaving her in the room, Frank returned to the shower to cool himself off… but no matter what he did, he simply remained irked. It got to the point where he couldn’t relax at all, and after wrapping a towel around his waist, he grabbed his phone to send his father a text. ‘Was there really nobody else who could’ve taken care of Rea?’ ‘What? Can’t even care for a woman properly.’ ‘I’m a busy man.’ ‘I trust in your time management skills.’ …Though he really wanted to tell Zivon that he had misplaced his trust in him, he didn’t want to disappoint his father either. With that, all he could do was clench his fists before giving Rea’s parents a call… “Hello? Frank? Why are you calling at this time of night?” “…When are you and Uncle Saltman returning, Aunt?” asked Frank who wanted them to take back their idiot already! “…Huh? What was that? Sorry, the line isn’t very good… I hope Rea isn’t giving you too hard a time! Don’t worry, we’ll be back after about a
