Liesel bit her lip. Her thoughts were racing. Suddenly, she realized something was off—the muffled noises from outside had disappeared entirely.Chelsea and Tobey were gone. "Elijah, there's no one out there anymore!" She raised her voice at Elijah.Elijah finally raised his head, straightened up, and brushed his lips against hers again while pulling her into his arms. "Sorry, I got a little too caught up to notice." As he spoke, his gaze fell on the woman in his embrace. Liesel's body felt soft against his, her delicate features flushed with a mixture of embarrassment and lingering frustration. It was all because of him. A sly grin crept across his face. Elijah couldn't help the warmth spreading in his chest. He dipped his head for another kiss, but they were interrupted by a sudden voice. "Mr. Elijah? You're here too?" Elijah reacted instantly, pulling Liesel closer and tucking her face into his chest. Her hair had fallen loose, cascading over her shoulders and

"Lili, I'm still waiting," Elijah teased. He raised an eyebrow and flashed her a crooked smile as he extended his hand again. Liesel glanced down at his well-defined hand. His long, slender fingers seemed elegant. Slowly, she placed her hand in his, and he tugged her closer to the railing.Elijah released her hand and placed both of his on her waist, effortlessly lifting her. Liesel instinctively bent her knees, helping him as she swung over the railing. But as she came down, she stumbled forward and landed squarely against his chest. Elijah stood firmly on the ground and caught her with ease. Her palms pressed against his shoulders for balance. Her face had lightly bumped against his chest just now, and she caught a whiff of his scent. It made her dizzy, and she flushed.The warmth of Elijah's hands on her waist seemed to burn through the fabric of her dress. Without warning, he slid them onto her bare back and pressed them directly against her skin. Liesel trembled at his

Liesel found Elijah's personality to be full of contradictions. At times, he seemed like a carefree playboy, but sometimes he would show the refined manners of a gentleman. He could be thoughtful and attentive one moment, only to turn around and tease her the next. That complexity made him feel real to her. She could tell that Elijah was showing her parts of him that he didn't reveal to others. He was quietly inviting her to walk into the space he had opened for her. She was walking into his heart. Liesel tilted her head up. Her gaze landed on Elijah's sharp profile. Hotel lights illuminated the night, casting a glow that wasn't quite daylight yet not fully shadowed either. The soft lighting made the angles of his face stand out more sharply. From her vantage point, he looked like a masterpiece brought to life. Liesel found herself staring at him. Elijah chuckled. "I used to think being born with a pretty face didn't mean much, but judging by the way you're looking at me

Liesel didn't look at Elijah. She shut her eyes as her voice was barely more than a whisper. "Elijah, do you really want to be with me? Are you sure you won't regret this someday?"You know this child is Jacob's. He'll grow up looking more and more like him. Won't his face remind you of those awful three years I spent with Jacob? Elijah…" She paused. "Maybe you should think this through again." Elijah was quiet. Liesel didn't open her eyes either. The silence in the car was suffocating.Suddenly, she felt a soft touch on her head. Soon, he wrapped her in a careful embrace. He sighed and murmured close to her ear, "Lili, open your eyes and look at me." Liesel's lashes fluttered. Slowly, she opened her eyes and met his gaze."Lili, can I take what you've just said to mean that you care about me? Because if you didn't, you wouldn't think so hard about this, would you?" His lips brushed her ear. "I'm glad you told me these things. But why can't you trust me a little more? I

"Lili, we can't be apart." Elijah's voice was filled with sincerity. "Let's go."Noticing how unsteady Liesel was on her feet, he scooped her into his arms. Liesel instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head against his shoulder. "Elijah, I'm just going to assume you've thought this through." Elijah's steps faltered, and he chuckled softly. "I made up my mind a long time ago." When they reached the apartment, Elijah stopped Liesel before she could open the door.He pushed her gently against the door. His lips descended on hers with unexpected urgency. The warmth of his mouth was impossible to resist. As his tongue brushed her trembling lips, she parted them instinctively. Her yielding stirred something deeper in him. His kiss grew hungrier. Liesel's head was pressed firmly against the door under the weight of his passion. She had nowhere to go. Elijah finally relented after a while. But Liesel's gasp reignited something in him, and he kissed her

Her phone buzzed with a notification. It was a notification on Twitter from someone she followed. Elijah had written, "She cares about me."The comments quickly piled up below the post. "No way, boss! Are you such a fan of small romantic gestures that you're going online in the middle of the night to show us lonely souls some love?" Others teased him for flaunting his relationship instead of sleeping. However, only Liesel truly understood. This wasn't just about showing off. Elijah was proud, and this time, he had every reason to be. Because this time, she was the one who had taken the first step, the one who had opened her heart to him. A soft smile played on Liesel's lips as warmth filled her gaze. She didn't comment or reply. Instead, she simply liked the post, making her feelings clear. Yes, she cared about Elijah. Elijah didn't post again. She knew him too well. He was playing his usual games and waiting for her to say the exact words: "Yes, I care about you."

They were cold, dangerous, and filled with ruthless intensity.It was Jacob. Liesel froze. In his hand, Jacob held her medical report and pregnancy test result. Three months. "Whose child is it?" His voice was sharp, laced with icy disdain. The usually stoic, emotionless black eyes now burned with a chilling glare, locked firmly on her. "Liesel. Whose child is it?" he demanded in a low tone. "We've been divorced for two months, yet you're three months pregnant. Tell me—who is the child's father?" He reached out, gripping her wrist tightly. Even as her face twisted in pain, he didn't loosen his hold. He had to know. He needed to know. Natalie's accusations came rushing back to him, swirling in his mind. She had said that Liesel had gone to great lengths to help Elijah secure his position, trampling others in the process. Why? Why would she help Elijah inherit the Hardin family business unless the two had already been involved? Someone like Liesel wouldn't do that ou

Jacob's throat tightened, and a bitter taste spread in his mouth. He continued gripping Liesel tightly. The pressure was so intense she felt as though her bones might snap. Jacob's piercing gaze locked onto her. His eyes were brimming with an icy coldness that spilled over uncontrollably. He stood there, staring at the woman before him, listening as she said nonchalantly, "The child is Elijah's." If the child was Elijah's, then what did that make him? The three years of affection Liesel had shown him turned into a joke. Jacob's gaze swept over her—this stunningly beautiful woman with a smile gracing her lips. Yet, all he felt was unfamiliarity. This was no longer the Liesel he had once known. The gentle, soft-spoken woman he remembered had vanished. "Liesel, why?" His voice was hoarse. He was trembling with pain and bitterness that he himself didn't realize. His grip tightened further. Why had she betrayed him? Why? For a moment, Liesel froze. Did she even have a choice

"You know how it is. It's always hard to strike a deal between two smart people."Charles laughed.He knew that when Liesel suggested a partnership with Ford Corporation to manufacture anti-cancer drugs, it was actually a huge trap.Liesel and Howard were both researchers. Who could say for sure that after they gave Ford Corporation the drug formula, they wouldn't refine the drug further and make something even more effective?Considering Liesel's and Howard's intelligence, there would undoubtedly be a more potent version of the drug. However, Liesel would never choose to continue working together with Ford Corporation. Therefore, he had decided to ask for a mile. He had asked to collaborate on the artificial intelligence project.It wasn't that he was being greedy.It was because Ford Corporation wasn't the same as it had been a year ago. He had to tread very carefully to avoid falling for someone's scheme again.Without Liesel and Drew, there were many tasks that only he and

"Do you not want to hug?" Liesel cocked her head at him. "Don't think I don't know you. I bet you already wanted to kiss me and hold me the moment you spotted Jacob. Otherwise, you wouldn't have tightened your arms around me."Hadn't Elijah done that to send Jacob a message that Liesel belonged to him?Having been together for so long, there wasn't anything that she didn't understand about him."In that case, thank you for giving me a chance and playing along." Since he couldn't think of an excuse, he just came clean. There was even a look of amusement on his face.He pulled her into his arms affectionately. She also hugged him back, like she was a child staking her territory."Should we add some more spice and kiss?"This was really becoming more and more provocative.Why not?A smile appeared on Elijah's face, as if he was saying to her, "Bring it on."And she did. She peppered Elijah's face with continuous pecks. Then, she yanked on his collar, like she was claiming him as

From a short distance away, Jacob could see Elijah's arm curled around Liesel's tiny waist. She seemed very dependent on him as she lay in his arms listlessly. It was a stark contrast to the way she behaved in public with other people.Whether it was with reporters or business partners, she always seemed like a steady pillar of strength. She was graceful and calm, but there was a hidden sharpness within her.Anyone who interacted with her could feel the hidden threat that was lurking inside of her.Yet, the Liesel now seemed to have shed all the sharp spikes on her body, revealing only the soft insides. She appeared gentle and submissive… Or rather, she only showed this side of her to her lover.He should have been the one to get all of this.He should have been her lover.He was the one who'd thrown all of this away. All he could do was watch as Elijah purposely pissed him off.He was a man too. Of course, he knew that Elijah was doing it on purpose.Of course, he resented Eli

Elijah seized Liesel's wrists while chuckling coldly. "So what if you're someone's wife? If I wanted you, all I'd have to do is tell him. Then, he'd definitely have someone clean you up nicely and send you straight into my bed."He lifted her chin with his finger. "Do you think that your husband is a decent man? Do you think that he'd disobey me for you?"Liesel swallowed. She was enraptured by the look in Elijah's eyes right now.He nibbled on her ear while patting her panicked and pale face. "If you're obedient, I'll treat you well. If you're unwilling to play along and make me happy, I'll kill your husband and lock you up in my home. You'll never see the light of day again."Stripping off her clothes, Liesel bit his earlobe and whispered, "It's such a waste that you didn't go into the acting industry with Chelsea."Elijah chuckled quietly, letting her hands roam all over him. They left a trail of fire in their wake. When he was all riled up and ready to go, Liesel suddenly hugg

Liesel left.Charles gazed at the still-warm cup of tea on the table. There was a chilling look in his eyes.This was one of the times he'd made the wrong move.After walking out of Charles' office, Liesel wasn't surprised to see Jacob. However, she didn't even stop and simply walked out.He trailed after her leisurely until she was nearly out of Ford Corporation. Just as he was about to call out to her, he heard a cheerful, gentle voice calling her name."Lili, I'm here to pick you up." Jacob's eyes darkened. When he looked up, he saw Elijah sitting in a wheelchair and smiling at Liesel.Liesel didn't mind at all that he was a cripple. With a grin on her face, she crouched down next to him. Then, she grabbed his hand and placed it against her cheek.Jacob's chest clenched when he saw that. It felt like arrows piercing his heart.Liesel could still feel Jacob's eyes on her, but she didn't care. She even pecked Elijah lightly on the lips in front of Jacob. Then, while pushing

"Charles, even though we worked together for three years, you still don't understand me at all."Liesel tapped her fingers against the desk. While it was quiet, it also sounded indescribably threatening."Have you not seen what happened to Dash?"If someone tries to snatch something from me, not only will I make their wishes come true, but I'll also make them pay the price."You can only take what I give you. If you insist on snatching what I'm unwilling to give… then you will find out the price you'll have to pay."She grinned, but it carried an obvious iciness.Dash was indeed the best example.He had tried to snatch collaboration opportunities from her, so she squashed him. And that wasn't all. She also bought his land and assets from him for dirt cheap.Dash tried to steal her data and establish his own vehicle manufacturing plant in Draskia, so she simply chased him and all his businesses out of Draskia.Anyone who tried to plot against her and steal from her suffered hor

"If you have something that even Jacob doesn't, you must be very loyal to him.""Thanks for the compliment." Charles chuckled quietly. "Of course, I am loyal to Mr. Ford. It's because I'm loyal to Mr. Ford that I kept the evidence just in case."If Matthew decided to betray Mr. Ford one day, then I could use this to retaliate against him. After all, you also know that Matthew is far from a nice person."Jacob placed a lot of importance on Matthew because his parents had passed away early, so he'd been raised by Matthew and Vincent since he was younger. He ended up viewing Matthew as somewhat of a father figure. His love for his family had ended up blinding him, making him unwilling to bring harm to Matthew.However, Charles was different. He didn't have any significant feelings toward Matthew. He only cared about protecting Jacob's interests.Matthew was a selfish person who only cared about his own interests. This was why Charles had gone against Jacob's orders and kept the evi

If it had been Elijah who'd done this, what would Liesel have done?Could she still be so righteous?However, Jacob's words only made her stifle a laugh. Without even turning around, she said sardonically, "If Elijah was this kind of person, then I would never have gotten together with him."Whether it comes to family or lovers, first of all, they should have the right principles. They should know what they should or shouldn't do."Even a child can tell what's right from wrong, but an adult like Matthew doesn't know where to draw the line. Jacob, one day he will pay the price for everything that he's done."In the end, Jacob didn't stop her from leaving.He couldn't help but clench his fists. His eyes darkened.Liesel had always been strongly opposed to evil. Making things worse, Drew was the scapegoat for Matthew's misdeeds this time.Over the years, Jacob had already gotten Matthew out of trouble countless times. He was getting tired of it.He really wanted to call out to Li

Natalie wanted to destroy Ford Corporation as soon as possible.Once there was a new leader in Ford Corporation, would Jacob still be so arrogant?Natalie laughed coldly. Then, she remembered the words she heard in the hospital, and her expression frosted over.She thought that since she was already in the same boat as Edward, and that Edward might become the future leader of Ford Corporation, she could go for him instead.After all, Edward was tall and handsome. In her eyes, he wasn't inferior to Jacob at all.However, she never thought… that Edward already had a lover, and that it was his sister, Ophelia, of all people.Till today, she still remembered how that bitch, Ophelia, had once insulted her because of her background. To defend Liesel, Ophelia had mocked her for being a bastard child.How come Ophelia deserved to be with Edward? They were siblings!
