"Ah!" Scott groaned as a surge of pleasure overwhelmed him. He gripped my waist tightly and thrust with abandon, losing himself in the moment.At that moment, the door burst open with a bang, and Michele stormed in.My thick lashes were glistening with tears, and the thrill of revenge combined with the pleasure Scott brought me made me climax. I couldn't control my moans as they escaped my lips.Scott eventually collapsed beside me while Michele stood petrified at the doorway. Her body tensed, eyes wide as she processed the sight of Scott and me intertwined on the bed."Ah!" A scream tore from Michele’s throat, piercing and full of anguish.Reacting swiftly, Scott pulled away from me and draped the sheets over my form. He then grabbed the bedside lamp and threw it at Michele’s feet, a clear warning. "Get out!"Michele's face contorted with fury, her body shaking as she trembled with rage."Adrianna, you bitch! I'm going to kill you!" she yelled, lunging toward the bed.
I was taken aback.The sound of a slap rang out, but it didn't strike my face.It hit Scott instead.In that split second, he stepped in front of me to shield me.Melissa, fueled by her fierce love for her daughter, lashed out with all her might, turning Scott's head to the side with the force of her blow.I stood there, stunned, gazing up at the tall figure who had just protected me for the second time.Even Melissa hadn't anticipated Scott's intervention. Realizing what had occurred, she shot me a venomous glare that chilled me to the bone.Scott glanced at me and commented, "Adrianna, go outside and wait for me."Without a word, I obeyed.Melissa had a son and a daughter. After her husband's early death, their relatives had greedily eyed the Finnens' wealth. Rumors abounded that her son, Terry Finnen, had taken the reins at the Finnen Group.Terry was a ruthless man. He had taken control of the situation and became the head of the family in less than a year. The Finn
Although Scott had always been reluctant with this business marriage, he had never been so directly confrontational with the Finnen Family before. Melissa was at a loss, sensing a disturbing change within him, which was rather unsettling.As Melissa and Michele were absorbed in their thoughts, they failed to notice Terry entering the room.Standing beside the bed, Terry broke the silence abruptly. "Just let him go."Seeing Michele's stunned expression, he explained, "Scott is ambitious and cunning. No one can truly understand what he's plotting. You can't win against him, Michele.""No!" Tears instantly streamed down Michele's face.She was a hopeless romantic. Just the thought of someone telling her to leave Scott hurt her more than anything."It's all Adrianna's fault! Terry, it's all because of her. If you just get rid of her, Scott will return to me. You must help me, Terry!""That's right, Terry." Eager to ease her daughter's suffering, Melissa, suppressing her earlier un
Scott's face was stormy as he turned his icy gaze on the maid, causing her to shudder and attempt a nervous smile. But before she could utter a word, Scott seized the knife from her grip and, in a swift motion, slashed her face."Ah!" The maid clutched her face and screamed in agony as blood streamed through her fingers.Zeana watched in horror, stunned into silence.After a moment, her shock turned to fury. "You're insane! You've lost your mind!" she shouted at Scott.To Zeana, Scott was the family's beacon of hope, destined not to truly love any woman. Michele was ideal in every respect. How could he be so misguided by this woman?Pondering this, Zeana's inability to accept the situation boiled over into rage. Turning to me, she hissed, "Whore! This is all your fault!" In a fit of anger, she grabbed a nearby ornament and hurled it at me with all her might.I froze, terror-stricken.It all happened in an instant. By the time I realized what was unfolding, it was already too
As I read the messages, a smile flickered across my face, only to vanish moments later.Being an orphan, my son had been my whole world, my sole family. With him gone, solitude was all that remained.Nights found me curled in a corner, silently enduring an engulfing loneliness. Tears stained my cheeks as I lay awake until the first light of dawn.I grew increasingly sensitive and defensive, the slightest disturbance putting me on high alert.Afraid of getting hurt again, I always kept others at a distance. Thus, when Scott said he wanted my heart, I was thrown into confusion.…The following day at the Langley Group, the air shifted the moment I entered Scott's office.He embraced me from behind and grazed his lips against my ear. "Adrianna, I miss you…" he whispered.His breath quickened as he spoke, his hands flirting with the hem of my shirt, poised to venture beneath.My body tensed instantly.Scott's hands roamed over me, sending waves of shivers through my body. My chee
Hearing his introduction, I could only manage a bitter smile.So, this was the infamous Terry. All this scheming was just to avenge his sister.He stood and approached, his movements deliberate. Grabbing a fistful of my hair, he forced me to meet his icy gaze, then released a scornful laugh."You are exactly as they say—a whore. But Michele is my only sister. You seduced Scott, and you caused her to never become a mother."I bit my lips and refused to back down as I stared back at him. When I heard his words, I didn't even bother to hide the disdain that filled my eyes.How could Michele, who had bullied others and even taken my son's heart, have any right to motherhood? The very thought was absurd."Oh?" Terry's expression chilled further when he saw my unrepentant stance. Roughly, he pushed me aside and returned to his seat on the sofa."Since you're so adept at seducing men, choose one now and perform for us. I'll record it and show everyone, including Scott, just how shamele
Terry was caught off guard, and his breath became uneven.Feeling his hard-on, I giggled.Veins bulged on Terry's forehead as he suppressed his emotions. He was clearly infuriated, but his expression turned odd as his anger was mixed with lust.With a forceful shove, Terry pushed me away, his eyes darkening with provoked anger.Meanwhile, the men in suits were completely taken aback.Everyone knew Terry's temperament. Any woman who had ever tried to approach him hadn't even managed to touch a single hair on his body before meeting a miserable end. Yet, here I was, having not only sat on his lap but also openly flirted with him in full view of his associates.They were all stunned, wondering if this was the real Terry they were seeing. At that moment, they didn't know what to say. It wasn't until Terry shoved me off him that they finally breathed a sigh of relief.Regaining their composure, one of the men sneered, "Stop wasting your energy, girl. Mr. Finnen won't have any fee
He found it strange when I gave him a look of subtle mockery after he mentioned that Michele would never be able to be a mother again. It didn't seem like I was merely trying to climb the social ladder by seducing someone as powerful as Scott. Perhaps I had other motives.His men moved swiftly, and twenty minutes later, the results of the investigation were laid out before Terry. "Just as I thought," he muttered, frowning at the information in front of him.Without delay, he picked up the phone and called Michele. "Michele, I've found out something about Adrianna. I'll send it to you."…After leaving the club, I called Scott. I told him I wasn't feeling well and wanted to take the rest of the day off. The deal hadn't been finalized, so I suggested he send someone else to handle it.There was a pause on the other end of the line before his voice softened, filled with concern. He asked about my health, told me to rest, and not to worry about the contract. When the call ended, I
