“Are all of them really that vicious? They only know how to slap people. Why don’t they go and slap a cactus if they have the ability to do so?”Xavia didn’t dare to let Maison see her in her current state, so she hid in her room. She didn’t go out until it was already dark. After that, she snuck into the medical room to look for an anti-inflammatory medicine. The medical room was very large and there was a lot of medication inside.Xavia searched for half an hour and she finally saw a bottle of medicine. She opened the medicine and was prepared to apply it when a noble figure suddenly appeared in her line of sight. The medicine in her hand fell to the ground with a clang. She almost died out of shock. “Young…Young Master Burton, when did you come back?”Zivon glanced at her slightly and his eyes instantly fell on her obviously swollen cheek. He did not reply. Instead he just frowned and asked, “Didn’t the swelling on your face already subside in the afternoon?”Well of course,
Xavia’s slim and small body trembled fiercely. Her eyes widened as she stared incredulously at the man in front of her.He...he actually kissed her!Her lips felt unusually warm.The man’s breath flowed into her nose at a constant pace.Although Xavia wanted to tell herself that this was just an illusion, the feeling was so real at the moment that her mind was already completely blank. He…how could he…Zivon didn’t continue going any further. He bit her lip slightly before he let her go. After that, he locked his gaze onto her red lips. “If you call me that again, I don’t mind biting through your lips.”After that, he strode away.Xavia stood frozen in place as if she was petrified.The man’s breath and the residual warmth remained on her lips for five whole minutes. She still couldn’t accept the fact that he had kissed her.No. It should be said that he bit her. The way that he punished people was simply too hateful!Bastard! Zivon didn’t feel peace at heart after he w
Her scream was very loud, causing the passers-by to instantly turn their eyes in her direction. All they saw was a fat man holding a woman hostage. “Oh my god. Quick, call the police.”“Call the security guards.”“Don’t act rashly. Let that woman go!”The man laughed. He had a hideous and savage look on his fat face under the brim of his cap. “Xavia Lockhart, you didn’t expect that you would fall into my hands again, did you? You’ve caused my company to go bankrupt and ruined my life. How can I possibly let you off?”This voice, these words, it was Luke Wilson!Hadn’t he been sanctioned? Why was he here?!Xavia was surprised and she really didn’t expect this. However, it was not time for her to continue dwelling on this. She had already known that Yulia and Dolly would not deliver items to her in this manner. So, she had also prepared a baton to guard against perverts in advance, so she reached out her hand and secretly tried to take it out…Luke suddenly went into a frenzy.
At the same time, a significant force fell on Luke.Boom! Luke screamed miserably and he instinctively released Xavia. After that, he fell into the flower pond behind him.Xavia only reacted and came back to her senses after she fell into someone’s broad arms. It was only then that she raised her eyes and saw the tall and noble figure under the morning sun. The light shone from his back, and he looked like an angel that had descended from the sky. His face that was hidden in the light also became even more mysterious and handsome.Zivon!Zivon swept a glance at Xavia’s entire body with his fine gaze. He made sure that she wasn’t injured before he retracted his gaze. After that, he glared at Luke with a cold and deadly expression in his eyes as if he was staring at a corpse. “It seems as though the punishment that you received yesterday is far from enough.”It was as if a relentless, cruel and high and mighty emperor was satirizing a humble commoner. Luke was surprised. “It was
“What’s on your mind?” The man’s low and deep voice floated down from above her head.Xavia raised her eyes. When she saw the man’s handsome face and the deep look in his eyes, she hurriedly shook her head. “No. I’m not thinking of anything.”Xara subconsciously glanced at the tablet in his hand and she felt a slight pain in her heart. Although she didn’t have a good relationship with her elder sister and that they had never been together ever since they were young, no matter what happened, Jenna was still her elder sister. Moreover, they were both women, and such things were really too terrible…When Zivon saw that her pale small face was staring at the tablet, a hint of distress that he did not even notice flashed through his deep eyes as he spoke up, “You don’t have to think too much about it. Nathan will deal with it and this matter today will not get around.”He was calm and steady. He gave people a sense of reassurance.Xavia heaved a sigh of relief. ‘That’s great then.’Sh
Xavia had been busy concentrating on taking care of his wound.She wiped the wound clean first before she took a cotton swab to use the medical alcohol to gently disinfect the wound. She wiped the wound little by little, in a careful and serious manner, and she didn’t look at him from the beginning to the end.Zivon realized that Xavia somehow emitted and gave people an unusually comfortable feeling. She gave him a totally different feeling compared to the feeling that he felt from other women.“Do you often apply medicine?” He asked. Xavia nodded. “Yeah. Yulia is a little mischievous and she would fall down and bump into things. So I’m already used to bandaging wounds.”“Who’s Yulia?”Ahh!It was over! She let the cat out of the bag!Xavia hurriedly laughed before she quickly changed the subject. “No one. Just a child. I’ve already applied the medicine on your wound. Does it hurt? Do you want me to find you a painkiller?”Zivon didn’t notice that she was acting unnaturally.
Nathan lowered his head and pursed his lips before he said hesitantly, “Young Master, I just feel that… you seem to go beyond your limits for Miss Lockhart.”In the past, Zivon would never take a second glance at another woman, nor would he allow any woman to get close to him, let alone put himself in danger because of a woman.However, in just a few days, many accidents and unimaginable things had happened to Xavia again and again.Whenever this kind of unique situation arose, it was not a good idea for the man to rush headlong into the matter.Zivon squinted, his gaze was deep and dark.He knew very well that he had always been prone to acting rashly and impulsively when something concerned Xavia. So, he smiled coldly. “I have a sense of propriety.”“Yes.”***When Xavia left the treatment room, she deliberately took the tablet with her. She would never allow anyone else to see this video, and she would never let anyone know that it was Jenna.She took the tablet with her as
Jenna saw that Xavia’s mind seemed far away as she contemplated something, so she spoke up and interrupted Xavia.“Why did you come here to look for me?”Her slightly loud voice broke Xavia’s train of thoughts regarding the answer she was about to arrive at. Xavia came back to her senses and looked at Jenna, who was serious as she handed the tablet over to her. “This is for you.”Jenna frowned in confusion. What was it? Jenna took the tablet and opened it casually. She shuddered when she saw the image inside. That damned Luke Wilson! He had recorded a video! Bastard! Disgusting! Pervert! “No, that is not me. What makes you think that it’s me?! You’re crazy. Are you trying to frame me and set me up when you’re the unclean one?!”Xavia knew that no woman would be willing to admit to such a tragic matter. So, she could understand Jenna’s feelings.“I’m not thinking about anything. I did not explain anything when Luke Wilson came to the villa today. Up to this point, everyone st
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
