Chapter 9; I am his wife As they stepped out of the car, Elsie was a little hesitant. Everything she said and did during that time was all under Trickson's influence. Elsie felt wronged. Nevertheless, she was going to teach those two a great lesson they would never forget. Thinking about this brought a smile to her saddened face. As they passed through security, she realized how much things had changed. There was now a fountain at the center and beautiful trees planted around. Everything looked unfamiliar and strange. The company had grown to many heights after her last visit; it now spoke of so much wealth and hard work. One thing did not change though—the security was so tight that one could not sneak out even a needle. However, at one glance, she was recognized by one of the security guards and was sent in. Elsie was left in awe as she strolled in; it was incredibly busy. She had never seen people work at that speed, hence she hurried up her steps and tried
Chapter 10: I refuse to be bullied "What do you think you are doing?!!" A cold voice rang from behind. Seeing the man stroll over in such powerful strides, Sophia straightened out her clothing and put on a professional look. She became calm, "President, the lady is quite difficult. She only insists on seeing you. I told her you were in a meeting, but she later started to harass me, so I was only trying to defend myself." "Why are you allowing such people to bully you?" Assuming Aiden was talking to her, Sophia couldn't help but blush. She lowered her head and apologized, "President, I am sorry. I will refuse to be bullied next time. She even said she was your wife?" However, Elsie's next actions were like bullets raining at her heart and dreams. "Hubby!" Elsie dashed toward Aiden, stealing a short kiss from him. His pupils widened at her actions, making his suspicions rise; hence, he did not kiss her back. Even so, his possessiveness got over him, and he wrappe
Chapter 11; Why didn't you tell me in my past life? ### In the office, Elsie sat on the green couch with Aiden sitting on the glass table facing her. His expression was indecipherable and his lips thin. Elsie could not help but admire his well-chiseled jawline and beautiful grey eyes. There was something about his neatly combed golden brown hair and his level of neatness that was beyond her understanding. There was a single thing out of place. He was truly perfect. Too perfect for her. "Ouch!" Elsie hissed sharply as he cleaned the wound with normal saline. Not because it hurt, but rather to get his attention. As expected, his grey eyes found hers and they softened. He reduced his strength, wiping it with a dry swap, "You should have thought of the pain before letting that girl bully you." Pouting her lips, Elsie tried to pull her hand away but he stopped her. She feigned anger, "You aren't romantic at all. Other men have suggested kissing my wounds to make th
Chapter 12: I am not satisfied yet Joseph Lawrence was efficient. He planned the entire schedule perfectly, with each board meeting leading to another with little breaks in between. Everyone found it exhausting, and they all secretly cursed the woman behind this change. Meanwhile, Aiden Scott sat wearing a cold expression on his face, listening attentively to what was said and even adding suggestions. He seemed to be in a better mood than before. The temperature in the room was now favorable for them to breathe. Could her presence be the reason for his change? Joseph shook his head sadly; the president had a witness, and it was that flirtatious and shameless woman. In his inward rant, he blurted out, "The president has bad taste!" "What did you say?" Aiden questioned icily. "Nothing. I meant this presentation... it is not up to your taste. Your usual taste is one of a kind," he mumbled, scratching his jaw. The look on Aiden's face was too frightful;
Chapter 13: I Promise to Work Hard "Why? I am not satisfied yet," his gruff voice pierced through the silence, as he pinned her to the bed. "..." Elsie's cheeks turned pink in an instant. Suddenly, she was tongue-tied. They were in the office, not at home. How could they do this? She nervously licked her lips. "No, Aiden, we should not--" "We should not what?" Slowly, he positioned open-mouthed kisses, trailing along the outline of her diamond-shaped face. Although he was barely doing anything, Elsie's heart pounded hard with every movement. She swallowed a moan as he bit a sensitive part of her neck. She pleaded, "In the office, it is unprofessional, and I don't think you are an unprofessional man. What will your employees think?" "You deny me?" His force grew stronger, his grey eyes filled with desire. Immediately, she froze at his accusation. He was getting things wrong. "No, no. My body and heart are all yours, but--" A light laugh escaped h
Chapter 14: Kiss me! "Good night," Elsie overheard Aiden's cold words as he made his way into the elevator, headed to his room. Normally, he would take the stairs for exercise, but his pending work made him choose the fastest route. Feeling a sense of disappointment, Elsie found nothing but an empty room when she arrived. Her shoulders slumped in disappointment, and she sighed to herself, "Elsie, you are too slow." Initially, she had wanted to go with him and try to rekindle their lost bond, which had lasted until she remembered her son. Instantly, her heart sank. She had indeed been too slow and had missed spending a day with her son. But she reassured herself that she would have tomorrow. Thinking about this, a smile tugged at her lips. She grabbed her purse, which she had left on the sofa, and headed for the East wing where Eldon's room was. Her every step palpitated her heart, and she wrung her hands nervously. It had been ages since she had visited his
Chapter 15; Who are you? "Kiss me." Although his tone was low, it held a lot of dominance. "Huh?" Confusion mixed with embarrassment flickered across her face. She bit her lower lip and asked in a very shy tone, "You want me to initiate a kiss?" A sliver of displeasure ran through his eyes. His tone grew cold at her denial. "You don't want to?" "No... I..." She became extremely flustered. To avoid his heated gaze, she searched the marble floor for invisible bugs as a sign of distraction. Leaning against her, he forced her face upwards. "It's my reward for being good to you." Elsie licked her lips, asking playfully, "You need a reward for being good to me?" If it was so, then she was the biggest debtor in the world. He had always put her interests above his own and his work. She was truly blessed. "Not really. I just want a kiss from you." His lips turned into a half-teasing smile. Aiden enjoyed making her blush this much. "Okay." She nodded,
Chapter 16: What are you doing? "Why do you have this with you?" Dahlia asked Elsie, scrutinizing her with intense eyes. When Elsie didn't respond, Dahlia anxiously opened the book, her fingers trembling. The pages were filled with various ingredients and herbal recipes, and she was truly impressed by the hundreds of formulas. Being someone who specialized in creating herbal soaps and lotions, she could recognize the excellence of the recipes, which had a hundred percent chance of having therapeutic effects. Suddenly, Dahlia's face contorted, and she glared at Elsie with envy. How could this girl have possession of such a valuable medicinal book? The thought made her furious. "This book could bring us wealth and elevate the Dale family's status," she thought, glancing down at the cheap fake diamond necklace around her neck, feeling disgusted by it. "With this book, I could earn millions, and our family would lead a better life. I would have genuine, brand-new jewel
