The liquor they would have to drink was not just any liquor. It was a combination of white wine, red wine, and beer… It was everything mixed into one.Needless to say, the alcohol content was very high and it was very easy to get someone drunk on it.Kelsey hoped and prayed that if she lost, she would only have to drink the mildest one.She did not want to lose, especially when the punishment was to drink such heavy liquor.If she got drunk and lost her composure in front of Tyler's friends, it would be embarrassing.However, it looked like luck was not on her side.In the very first round of the game, she rolled the smallest number.Zara and the other girls flashed a hideous smile as if they were taking pleasure in her loss. It looked like they were gearing up for a show.One of them had already prepared a glass mixed with all kinds of strong liquor to hand to her.Upon noting the strange color of the mixture of liquor, Kelsey knew she was bound to get drunk after she drank i
Kelsey was floored.This was too much, was it not?Before she could even react, Tyler had already pinned her down on the couch with his arms braced against her shoulder.“Can we stop playing this game?” Kelsey murmured softly.Were they going to do something like this in public?“What do you think?” Tyler said with a jerk of his lips and gestured at his childhood friends who were flocking around them waiting to watch the show.Kelsey followed his line of sight and immediately met Zara's eyes which were green with envy.If looks could kill, she would have been shredded into pieces by now.This was probably the only good thing to come out of this perverse game.After all, Zara must be quite infuriated to see her doing something so scandalous with Tyler right in the view of everyone.With that, she reluctantly accepted and went along with Tyler.Tyler took care to remove his coat and drape it around Kelsey’s legs so she would not be exposed.It was getting dark outside, the on
The dare was quite simple. Tyler was to pick one of the girls and smear jam on her, then he would have to lick it clean.Upon hearing this, Kelsey spat out a mouthful of water.“You call these people your friends?”She gestured at the men who had been throwing nasty ideas at Tyler.At this point, she was beginning to suspect they were in cahoots to toy with her.Tyler assured her. “It's okay, we'll get back at them once they are the ones who lose.”He might say so…but will that ever happen?Judging by their luck so far, it looked like they were not suited for this game.Every time, it was either her or Tyler who rolled the lowest number.It felt like they were being ganged up on.“That’s going a little too far, Ralph.”Fortunately, someone stepped up and came to Kelsey’s defense.Kelsey turned around and saw it was Zara's brother, Cleo, who spoke up.She was very grateful and made sure to express it with a sincere look at Cleo.Cleo was the only one she could count on.T
Zara was convinced that Kelsey was losing the game intentionally.That way, she got to flaunt her relationship with Tyler in public and play these raunchy games.Kelsey must be using this opportunity to instigate her. It was her way of making a statement for her to stay away from Tyler.Zara would not let Kelsey have her way.“Zara, you’re a cunning one, aren’t you?” Kelsey had seen through her and exposed her without reservation.Zara was unbothered. “What about it?”As long as she could stop Kelsey and Tyler from getting intimate in public view, she would pull out any stops.Kelsey was done bickering with Zara at his point. Then, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Rosette walking into the restroom.“Does that include Rosette too?” She took the chance to raise the subject.“What?” Zara played dumb.Kelsey cast a penetrating look at her. “The reason Rosette overslept for Runway Revolution is that you had someone spike her drink with a drug so she would fall asleep, didn’t you?”
The fact that her brother, Cleo, was present bolstered Zara’s confidence. There was no way any of them could do anything to her.All they could do was enjoy the show Tyler was going to put on. It was not as erotic as they had hoped it would be.Despite this, Kelsey still felt as if an electric shock had gone through her body the moment Tyler started.Imagine having a man you loved gently pressing his tongue against your soft skin and licking buttery jam off of your body. The only thing left was the lingering warmth of his tongue.Kelsey turned stiff and was afraid to even twitch a muscle.However, that did not mean her body was not reacting to these sensations.The only problem was that she had to suppress her reaction because everyone was watching…By the time it was over, she was drenched in sweat and was panting heavily.This was only with the jam slathered on her arm and calf. Imagine if it was other parts…She was afraid to even imagine it.Upon reaching this thought, sh
What was happening?How did it get so hot in here?Why was Zara suddenly craving to do it?Was it because she was excited by the thought of confessing to Tyler?She bit her lower lip to force herself back to her senses.Despite that, her world was still spinning.Her desire was growing stronger with every passing second.She could not bear it anymore!She subconsciously drew toward Tyler.At first, she was worried that Kelsey would stop her like a guard dog.Unexpectedly, Tyler was all by himself when she drew toward him. He was all hers.She did not beat around the bush and expressed sultrily, “It’s so hot in here, I want to do it…”Nobody at the scene had ever witnessed such a shocking proposal.They were expecting something more romantic, some sort of poetry to come out of Zara.Instead, she had gone for a blunt and quite liberal approach. It was clear what she wanted.Even the guys were flustered by her.Keith was the most excited of all of them.That was because
Kelsey was contemplating this when she happened to swipe a glance at Rosette who was seated nearby.Rosette was staring in the direction where Keith trotted off with Zara. She was wearing a strange smirk.Kelsey felt something tighten inside her.She wondered if Rosette had something to do with Zara’s abnormal behavior back there.Rosette must have overheard the conversation she had with Zara in the bathroom just now.That was how she found out that Zara was the reason she had missed Runway Revolution. She had been drugged.Perhaps this was her way of giving Zara a taste of her medicine.She did not expect Rosette to have such a dark side to her.It sure seemed like most of the people who were attending the party tonight were no common folk.Rosette noticed the way Kelsey looked at her and walked toward her with a glass of red wine in hand.She asked conscientiously, “What do you think is going to happen to Zara later?” Kelsey was taken aback by the question. “What?”Roset
By the time they were done, Kelsey collapsed into Tyler's arms and felt sore all over.“Are you tired?” Tyler gently stroked her long hair which was streaky with sweat, then he kissed her forehead.“Yeah,” Kelsey whimpered softly in his arms and nodded.“We’re going home right away.” She heard Tyler’s raspy voice echo in her ears.After that, he helped settle Kelsey on the back seat so she could lie down, and then he draped his coat over her.Then, he opened the door and prepared to get into the driver’s seat.That was when he suddenly felt someone tap on his shoulder.“Tyler, didn't you leave a while ago? Why are you still here?”It was Charles. He asked Tyler with a quite suggestive smile.Tyler was not interested in entertaining such an obvious question.“I’m leaving now.” He burrowed into the driver's seat and dismissed Charles.“A few girls were asking me for your phone number just now but I refused to give it to them," Charles remained standing next to the car and said
Steve mounted Megan and punched her face left and right. Megan would hurl abuse at him at first, but her tirade quickly turned into pleading. Steve smacked Megan over two dozen times, only stopping when Megan lay limp on the floor. He turned to Tyler, his grimacing face replaced with ingratiation. “I have taught the bitch a lesson, Mr. Lang.” Stoic-faced, Tyler did not spare a glance at Steve. Steve was irrelevant to Tyler. Tyler took strides to Kelsey and grabbed her hands. He murmured in her ear, “Do you feel better now?” Kelsey looked back at Megan’s swollen face and curled her lips. “She’s not worth my time anyway.” The constant struggles with Charlie and Megan over the years had hardened Kelsey emotionally.Megan’s verbal abuse was like water off a duck’s back. Besides, Charlie had kicked Megan out of the house. Megan’s words were nothing more than a desperate cry now. Steve was no better than Charlie, and Megan had it coming. Despite his age, Steve went
Megan widened her eyes in disbelief at Steve. “D-Did you just hit me?” The last thing Megan expected was Steve to attack her. She thought she had compromised enough by dating a man so much older.Steve had been spoiling her rotten lately, giving her everything she wanted. Megan had gotten a big head. She thought she had Steve in the bag. Yet, to her dismay, Steve assaulted her. “Bitch!” Steve made a face of disgust. “Why did you slander Ms. Young?” In Steve’s opinion, Megan was more trouble than she was worth. Steve had gone to great lengths to curry favor with Tyler. Megan had gone and insulted Tyler’s woman right in his face. To make matters worse, Steve was caught up in the mess too. Steve regretted spoiling Megan, and she had gone in over her head. Megan’s eyes welled up. “Steve…” Her lips quivered as she looked at Steve with a hurt expression. Paying her no mind, Steve was occupied with ideas to please Tyler. “She’s just an escort to me, Mr. La
Steve felt embarrassed. He had been wanting to make Tyler’s acquaintance, but a chance to meet him was hard to come by. Now that he ran into Tyler, Steve was determined to make the most out of it. “Let me be a host to you today, Mr. Lang—” Megan cut Steve off. “Mr. Lang, you might not know this, but Kelsey’s father is facing bankruptcy. He’s deep in debt too. Kelsey and her father are just going to be your burden. Don’t let Kelsey’s seemingly innocence fool you. They are just going to leech off you. My daughter, Josephine, is a nice and sensible girl. She’s a better companion than Kelsey. I’ll be delighted to introduce you to her.” Kelsey was impressed with Megan. Even now, Megan had not given up on pushing Josephine into Tyler’s arms. In Kelsey’s past life, Megan went to lengths to matchmake Josephine and Tyler. Nevertheless, Tyler never took an interest in Josephine. Megan was just as delusional as ever. However, Kelsey had no idea that Charlie owed a lot of mon
“She’s just a bitch.” Megan hissed through clenched teeth, her jealousy showing. She had a hunch. The sudden change in the manager’s attitude toward Kelsey was likely due to Tyler. Megan wished she had Kelsey’s luck to meet a good-looking and rich man. Steve did not believe Megan. If Kelsey was just an ordinary woman, the manager would not take her up to the exclusive top floor. That was a height Steve could never reach despite a lifetime of hard work. However, Kelsey had no plans to accept the manager’s invitation to dine on the top floor. Since Charlie would not be attending or taking Susan out of the nursing home, Kelsey had no reason to dine alone on the top floor. Kelsey was better off getting back to her new office and ordering a takeout. Her discussion with Rosette about the costume design for Adrienne’s new film would continue this afternoon.However, the manager stopped her from leaving and apologized to her frantically. “Please see it in your heart not to
It was upsetting enough for Kelsey since Charlie managed to deceive her once more. However, Megan had to gloat. “What did I tell you? I told you Charlie can’t afford this place. He can’t even show his face because he’s expected to pay the bill.” “Oh, quit it!” Kelsey glared at Megan. To think Kelsey would give her an attitude. Megan had Steve on her side now. She was no longer the other woman who lived off Charlie’s good graces. Surely, Megan earned the right to mock Charlie. “You’re the manager. Has St. Gills lost its exclusivity? It’s a disgrace that you let just about anyone in,” Megan said sarcastically. Kelsey retaliated. “Oh, aren’t you a picture of poise, Megan? With your sugar daddy, you can’t even make it past security.” “You!” Megan looked daggers at Kelsey. Livid, Megan commanded the manager, “Throw the bitch out now before I’ll make sure your establishment ceases to operate.” The manager narrowed his eyes on Kelsey and Megan. Judging by Kelsey’s mod
“Kelsey, what are you doing here?” Megan asked harshly.With Megan and Steve approaching, the manager drew close and welcomed them. It then dawned on Kelsey that Megan and Steve were the VIPs who took the private lounge from Charlie. The manager explained the situation, and Megan sneered. “Charlie is going broke. I doubt he can afford to dine at St. Gill’s. With his mounting debts, he’s embarrassing himself when the time comes to pay the bill.” Kelsey narrowed her eyes. Charlie must be using Susan’s birthday as a pretext to ask for more money from Tyler since the family business was going bust. However, Tyler had given Charlie a large sum of money. It was puzzling how Charlie managed to burn through it. Kelsey snapped back with a smirk. “Even so, Charlie is paying with his own money, unlike some people who can’t live a day without a sugar daddy.” Color drained from Megan’s face. Kelsey was basically calling her a gold digger. Megan would not be in this position in th
Kelsey and Rosette discussed the specifics of auditioning for Adrienne’s new film’s costume design role.As the time neared noon, Kelsey glanced at her phone. Tyler had not replied to her text message. It was nearly time for Susan’s birthday celebration at St. Gill’s. Kelsey decided to go ahead to St. Gill’s. While on the way, she gave Charlie a call to inform that Tyler would not be available for the celebration. Charlie’s voice reflected his disappointment. “What’s this? Why can’t Tyler make it?” Kelsey bit the bullet and explained, “I haven’t been able to reach him.” “I thought Tyler adored you. Why couldn’t you get in touch with him? Did you upset him?” Charlie grilled her. Kelsey refuted, “Things have been going well for us, thanks for asking. He has an emergency today.” Her bond with Tyler could not be stronger. Heck, they nearly went all the way this morning. The nerve of her father to put her down. Charlie was furious. “I knew I couldn’t count on you.” He
Kelsey frowned. “What are you up to now?” She doubted Charlie was so nice to want the family to be together for her grandmother, Susan’s birthday. It was probably an excuse to get close to Tyler. Since Charlie got together with Megan, Kelsey could count on her finger the number of times he had been to the nursing home to visit Susan. Kelsey could not remember the last time Charlie celebrated Susan’s birthday. Charlie could not even remember Susan’s birthdate. Yet, Charlie was so kind to throw her a party. Kelsey could only suspect that Charlie had ulterior motives. “How can you say that about me, Kelsey? I’m your father. Am I wrong to throw your grandmother a birthday party?” Charlie reprimanded. Kelsey was skeptical. “You’re not wrong, but…” It was uncertain whether he had Susan’s interest at heart. “But what?” Charlie asked. He started blaming himself. “I know that I listened to Megan and neglected you and Mom. I’ve gotten rid of her. Now, I just want to be a go
With a predatory glint in his eyes, Tyler pressed his lips against Kelsey’s.“I’ll take your silence as your consent.” “Hang on!” Kelsey pushed him away. She meant business since it was about his sleepwalking last night. “I have a question.” “What is it?” Tyler asked in a raspy voice, his lips still lingering across her skin. His hands eagerly pulled her gown off her. “Do you sleepwalk?” Kelsey asked. Tyler paused, his eyes bearing a weight of emotions. Kelsey knew she was right on the money. Tyler had known about his sleepwalking. “Did you know you were sleepwalking last night?” Kelsey said while fixating earnestly on him. She was more concerned about his health. Tyler seemed healthy. Yet, he wandered off in a sleeping state. Judging by Tyler’s response, it was not his first rodeo. Generally speaking, sleepwalking was associated with trauma or unresolved issues. Kelsey suspected that Tyler had been through some kind of trauma, or something in his past wa
