A strong hand grabbed my wrist, effectively halting my frantic search. I looked up to see Matthew staring at me in surprise. Concern was evident in his eyes. In his eyes, I saw my own panicked reflection. My hair was disheveled, and I looked like a mess."Matthew, I... I..." At that moment, I realized how hard it was to speak coherently when you were distressed."What's wrong? You look awful. Matt, let go of her and give her a moment to calm down," Helen said as she approached from behind, gently patting my shoulder.Matthew released my wrist and stepped back, smiling apologetically.Helen grasped my shoulders and said gently, "Lulu, take a deep breath. Don't panic. Slow down and tell us what happened."I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, struggling to push down my anxiety. It took a good three minutes before I could collect myself."I just saw Colin, but when I tried to catch up to him, he vanished. I have a feeling he's in danger. "Helen, you're familiar with the people
It was clear that Jasmine had a sinister plan in motion—she wanted to be the one to deliver the antidote.Colin was in real danger of being taken advantage of.The conversation I overheard between the man and woman hinted at a nefarious scheme. They wanted to set someone up for a compromising situation.As the pieces fell into place, it became evident that Jasmine had orchestrated it all. By instructing the tall guy to drug Colin, she would ensure that she and Colin could consummate their relationship right under my nose.Jasmine's fixation on Colin had spiraled into madness, pushing her to desperate lengths.My heart plummeted, yet my mind remained razor-sharp. I had to admit that I was too impulsive last night. Her plan was cunning, her intentions poisonous. If she pulled it off, it would rewrite the endings of countless stories.Even if Colin held feelings for me, it seemed our narrative might meet an untimely end.His conscience could weigh heavy, forcing him into retreat. P
Helen said, "Exactly. Mr. White knows what kind of person Jasmine is. He wouldn't be foolish enough to let his guard down around her. Don't worry too much. Let's think of another plan."How could I not worry? What else could we do?I grabbed hold of a passing waiter, hoping he might have some answers. "Excuse me, where's your boss? I need to speak with him urgently.""Sorry, Miss, but our boss is out of the country on a business trip," he replied, offering a respectful nod."Then who's running things on this floor? Or in the surveillance room? Where can I find them?""Sorry, but it's after hours now. Can I help you with something?""I've got someone really important here, but I've lost track of which room he's in. He's in danger, and I need to find him. Can you check the surveillance footage for me? I have the exact time frame. All I need is to know his location. We'll handle the rest.""Sorry, but our clients' privacy is confidential here. We can't give out their whereabouts. O
I shrugged off Helen's grip and bolted toward the path, leaving her and Matthew trailing behind. Their anxious calls to be careful and wait for them echoed in the air.Helen was on her period, making it hard for her to keep up. Matthew, torn between attending to her and fretting over my safety, was drenched in sweat.But I couldn't give a damn about anything else. My sole focus was fixated on that damn closed door. Schemes and caution be damned! I'd never felt so clear-headed in my entire life.As long as Colin was okay, nothing else weighed on my mind. From now on, it was all about the ones I cared for. The rest? They didn't mean anything.Finally reaching Nimbus Hotel, I found Suite 5. Memories of being shut out made me push the door with caution. To my surprise, it budged, inching open.Inside, darkness swallowed the room. Even with my sharp eyes, I couldn't make out anything, let alone tell if Colin was in there. Was this a setup? I nudged the door open a bit more and stepped
The best solution was to take it upon myself."I'm willing, Colin. I'm willing."Before the words even settled, his arms wrapped around me, lifting me effortlessly. After the brief dizziness, I found myself on a luxurious bed, enveloped by his scorching embrace.His kisses grew more intense and commanding. His trembling fingers traced every contour of my skin, causing us both to shiver with anticipation as we embarked on a journey of unparalleled pleasure. I embraced the onslaught from my lover, willingly becoming his remedy.As we finally connected, a sharp pang shot through me, but his deep, intoxicating kiss stifled any scream.In the air, sparks ignited, bursting with vibrant colors. A rush of intense satisfaction surged through me from head to toe.I moved in tandem with my lover's embrace, experiencing a rollercoaster of sensations from pain to pure bliss.Surrendering to the rhythm, I was pushed to the bed's edge only to be pulled back and then pinned down with a raw inte
"Damn, that was rough." I bit my lip, trying to endure the soreness in my body as I attempted to move.Suddenly, a figure flashed over. The hand around my waist kneaded restlessly. "Baby, you're just as I imagined. So sweet-smelling, so soft… and you make me so enchanted. I didn't control my strength well. That's my fault. Here, let me massage it for you."My face flushed hot and red in an instant. Hastily, I reached out to grab that hand that was about to cause trouble again, but Colin countered and placed my hand on his slender waist.His skin was smooth, and his muscles were perfectly defined.I pinched his waist in protest, but the more I did it, the more I couldn't help myself. So, I quickly let go.Colin's tall and muscular body trembled slightly. I knew he was hiding his face in my hair to laugh secretly.After such satisfaction, of course, he would laugh.Seeing how pleased he was, if it weren't such a private matter, I bet he'd hold a press conference to announce it to
Suddenly, Colin drew back the curtains. The morning sunlight poured in, casting light upon the messy bed.I raised my arm to shield my eyes from the sun, but through the gaps between my fingers, I glimpsed the scratches on his muscular back.Some seemed deep enough to have broken the skin, with traces of blood seeping out. One must be crazy enough to scratch someone like that. I couldn't bear to look at the sight.Blushing deeply, I pulled up the blanket to cover myself, pretending that none of it had anything to do with me. But Colin still caught me.He glanced down at the oval bite marks on his chest, and once again, a wicked grin spread across his face. "It's surprising how my baby can be so gentle yet so wild. Baby, tell me. Did you enjoy it? Don't hide yourself. Tell me, was it enjoyable? Which position was the most enjoyable?"Damn it. I didn't know how to respond to that. I wondered if his students and colleagues knew he was so shameless.I gripped the blanket tightly, ref
I found it quite suspenseful."Well, well, look who decided to show their face?" A sarcastic voice from behind made me jump.Hearing that voice, I wished I could just disappear into the ground.I was so preoccupied yesterday that I didn't even get a chance to check in with them. I had no idea when they went back. It was no wonder Helen came to tease me so early in the morning.Wait, it wasn't early anymore."I'm not invisible. What's with all this talk about showing up or not?" I intentionally disregarded the keywords.Feeling embarrassed, I lifted my leg and intended to kick Helen. However, my leg lacked strength, and it only moved slightly."Come on, kick me! You can't do it, huh? It's all your fault for prioritizing love over friendship!" Helen laughed heartlessly.Matthew remained silent. He glanced at my neck and smiled knowingly. Turning to Helen, he lifted his hand to pat her head gently and said softly, "Alright, stop laughing like a fool.""Who? You're the fool, not m
