Chapter 94: Should I engage? The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene. Elsie tapped her feet anxiously underneath the table, her gaze stuck on the revolving doors of the high-end restaurant. Every person who ambled out of that door became the subject of her scrutiny. She fidgeted in her seat, occasionally glancing at her watch. "Not her," she sighed out of frustration as the last person did not turn out to be who she wanted to meet. Disappointment was evident on her face. Next, a blonde woman clothed in a bright-colored luxury jumpsuit stepped out in silver stilettos. This prompted Elsie to skip out of her seat, stretching her hand as a smile curled up her red-painted lips. "Thank you for coming, Jasmine," she said enthusiastically, her voice brimming with relief. The lady named Jasmine smiled sweetly and shook Elsie's hand before taking a seat across from her. Darting her eyes around the room, it wa
Chapter 96: Time of death 4:35 pm As she looked around, Elsie locked eyes with the purple-haired man dressed in a biker's aesthetic. Her stomach sank, and she let out a low shriek. After an unintentional blink, the man and his bike were gone. Elsie's heart raced as she hurried towards her car, clutching the pepper spray hidden behind her dress. The man's presence had unnerved her, and she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched. As she reached her car, she quickly glanced around the parking lot, scanning for any sign of the purple-haired man. Not seeing him, she let out a small sigh of relief and hastily unlocked the car door, eager to get inside and away from this unsettling situation. "How are you?" She heard a deep voice inquire from the pa
Chapter 96: I am not biased Elsie's heart raced as she the shocking turn of events unfolding behind the one-way mirror. She gripped Aiden's arm tightly, her knuckles turning white. Aiden noticed her discomfort, and he informed her, "Brother, take Elsie outside. I will deal with this." To their surprise, Elsie let go of him. She shook her head in denial, "I am staying here." In her past life, she had been through hell and back. Seeing blood did not faze her. Seeing her determination and newfound strength, the Scott brothers nodded. The cop with a unibrow stepped in, his expression grave. "Blake and Calvin are dead now, and we have sent out an arrest warrant for Henry Rowan." "This doesn't make any sense," she uttered, her voice firm. "If what they said is true, then Henry Rowan is the one behind all of this. But how? What resources does he have to arrange my kidnapping and have them both die?" "Blake confessed. Henry is a drug dealer," Aiden said matter-of-factly.
Chapter 97: No more stupid games In the night, the vintage clock on the wall struck nine. Elsie stood by the window, her gaze fixed on the sleek red Audi that rolled into the driveway. Upon seeing the person she had been waiting for strutting towards the house, her heart began to race. She rushed to the vanity mirror, picking up a bottle of perfume, and quickly spritzed her neck with a floral, intoxicating scent. Next, she pulled the white button-down shirt she was wearing out of nervousness. The shirt was made of a soft cotton material and had become oversized due to her small stature, ending at her thighs. The first few buttons of the shirt were undone, revealing her sunlight-kissed collarbone and making her appear more attractive. Only a few of the buttons were fastened, allowing the shirt to fall open slightly and reveal a glimpse of her bare legs peeking out from underneath the oversized garment. Her hair was left down in soft and elegant curls, and her be
Chapter 98: Mastermind Immediately, Elsie lunged to the window where she watched his car speed away. She wondered out loud, "What is so important?" Elsie recalled seeing the caller ID - it was April. Was April in danger? Or is she hurt? Why did Aiden leave so suddenly? This was not the first time he ran off after one call from his sister. Yet, today seemed more urgent. Closing her eyes, Elsie offered prayers for his safety. It was late and the roads were covered in snow. Pulling into a driveway, Aiden rushed in huge steps towards a house. He pressed the bell, waiting for a response. When April opened the door, she was delighted to see the man she had su
Chapter 99: What if I told you I was reborn? In his study, Aiden sat cross-legged, his gaze focused on the document in his grasp. It talked about a merger with one of his clothing companies in the UAE with another famous brand in the locality. It had been cross-checked by several associates, which confirmed the terms to be favorable. Still, Aiden Scott cared less about their opinion. He meticulously ensured that everything was as it was supposed to appear, with no fraud. As if anything could pass under his nose! At this time, Elsie, clad in a red skinny blouse and black shorts, skipped in. Her face shone with delight and ecstasy. As she neared him, her bold fragrance demanded his attention, causing his gaze to shift to the woman staring down at him, wearing an infinite smile on her pink l
Chapter 100: Bye blue Elsie's eyes widened in surprise at Aiden's demand. "Reward you?" she repeated, her voice laced with confusion. Aiden gently took Elsie's hand and brought it to his lips, planting a tender kiss on her knuckles. "Yes. A reward for being such an outstanding husband." Elsie smiled, teasing him. "Who said you are outstanding? Why are you bent on saying things that I didn't say?" Aiden's scowl transformed into a mischievous smirk as he leaned in closer, his lips brushing against her ear. "Should I bend you over? Isn't that your favorite position? What? Right here like before?" "Shut up!" Elsie's cheeks flushed with a mixture of excitement and embarrassment. She struggled to escape his grip, but he only tightened it there more. As their eyes locke
Chapter 101: You are playing with fire Inclining her head, Elsie gasped, "It's you?!" Leila stood there in awe, clothed in a wet slim knee-length dress. "What are you doing here?" She asked, looking panicked. Her gaze darted to the exit, her brows raised as understanding of the opened door dawned on her. "I could ask you the same," Elsie's lips twitched as she stood with the help of Leila. She gaped at Leila's wet clothes in confusion. Why would she be taking a shower with clothes on? Unless she was aiding another in taking her bath. "Um..." Leila licked her lips, clutching the side of the dress too. She lowered her voice, "I was washing the bathroom. I mistakenly turned on a faucet and it rained all over my body."
