Frank held Melanie’s chin with force. “I’m indeed a player, but I’m not satisfied with just anyone! I want only the best,” he stressed as he moved closer, breathing down her neck. At that moment, he was like a vampire craving blood, and it terrified Melanie as she shivered. Thankfully, he had no fangs and did not try to bite her. Instead, he only placed his lips on her neck and gently bit her. “The scent that I love could only be found on perfumers like you!” Melanie froze. She could feel him slowly pulling away and letting her go, yet she did not dare move or breathe, fearing him changing his mind seconds later. In other words, Frank was only interested in female perfumers, as they were the ones who would come in contact with different scents for an extended period. Their body odor would always carry a hint of floral or spice scent, which might cause discomfort to some, but others loved it. ‘Does this mean that Frank was one of those?’ Her mind was a mess, and she need
“There are other ways to help me.” Frank placed his hands on her shoulders and turned her around with force. “You could always try something creative!” “Something creative?” Melanie was confused, but she understood what he was referring to when she met his sly gaze. It disgusted her just thinking about it, but she did not want to upset him, so she tried reasoning gently, “Frank, if you could just be patient for a little longer, I’ll get someone beautiful from the industry! How about your partners? I could drive you there! I still have morning sickness, so it would just be messy and…”Before she could even finish, Frank grabbed her by her hair and pulled her head back roughly, “Enough of your nonsense! What does your pregnancy have to do with me? Is the baby mine? Mel, you should know better than try playing games with me! Don’t forget that you still need me to help you win your year-end championship!”He looked at her menacingly, “You should feel honored that I’ve chosen you.
”Since my mission is done, I’m leaving!” Frank patted Melanie on the shoulder. He walked calmly in Nathaniel’s direction, not caring much about the angry man blocking his exit. “Stop!” In anger, Nathaniel grabbed Frank’s arm and gritted his teeth. “You think you can just leave?” “What about it?” Frank smirked wickedly. At first, Nathaniel was still trying to hold in his rage because of Frank’s social status, as he could not afford to be rash. However, when he heard what Frank had to say, his anger erupted, and he punched Frank in the face, yelling, "You b*stard!" It was a solid punch, but it did not aggravate Frank at all. He fell back, and as he regained his balance, he touched the corner of his lips and saw blood. “I’ll let you off on behalf of Ms. Neville, but if you dare throw another punch, I won’t let you off that easily.” “Who needs it?” Frank's words easily set Nathaniel off, and since he had already hit him once, he might as well go all out. Nathaniel
”Let her go!” Nathaniel’s face turned ugly.“There’s no need to be so serious!” Frank wanted to challenge him. He got closer to Melanie’s face and tried to kiss her.When Nathaniel saw this, he could no longer hold back and rushed forward to fight Frank again.However, Melanie grabbed him. “Enough! Do you want to create a stir for the guard to come and let everyone else know what happened here, Nate?!”Melanie sounded virtuous as if she had not engaged in indecent behavior earlier. Still, her remarks caused Nathaniel to halt what he was doing. He would be embarrassed if others knew about this.“Get out! Get out of here!” He pointed a finger outside. Melanie gestured at Frank but did not move. Frank remained in the same spot, appearing not to take it seriously. Despite his smile, his eyes betrayed his contempt.Melanie frowned and continued gesturing at him with her eyes. She was anxious as she might be unable to control Nathaniel’s temper if Frank stayed longer. Frank shrugged
Nathaniel hatefully slammed his fist on the steering wheel. He felt nauseous, wanted to vomit, was dizzy, and lost control of the car. The car swerved as if a drunkard was driving on the empty road. After some sharp screeches sounded, the car uncontrollably rushed to the side.Crash!The car hit a tree heavily before coming to a stop. Nathaniel was bleeding as he wounded his head.…Lily felt very comfortable when she woke up the following morning. She did not have any headaches or hangovers. It looked like the hangover soup Alexander learned in a hurry was exceptionally helpful.She could smell breakfast coming from downstairs. She put on her slippers before going downstairs and saw Alexander serving breakfast in an apron. It was a beautiful morning!She hurried downstairs and hugged Alexander from behind as she gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek, “Good morning!” Alexander laughed happily and turned to kiss her back in return, “Come sit down and have some breakfast.”Plenty of
“Yes.” Edward nodded in reply.“Thank you!” Lily thanked him sincerely. However, this caused Alexander to feel jealous again, “You only thank him? What about me?”“I don’t need to be so polite with you!” Before Alexander could speak further, Lily added, “Hey, you were the one who said that.”‘It seems I’ve stepped on my own trap,’ Alexander thought.Edward looked at his boss in surprise when he saw Alexander stammering, unable to refute. ‘It seems that only my boss’s wife can make him feel so helpless.’“I might be late today. Call me if you have any problems,” Alexander said while putting on his coat.“Okay!” Lily tip-toed to help him adjust his shirt’s collar. She suddenly remembered the upcoming trip, “Oh right, you mentioned going on vacation earlier. Do you have a destination in mind? Or have you already decided where to go?”“Not yet. Why?”“It’s nothing. Liv has a few recommendations. Since you’re busy and have not decided on a place, why don’t the girls and I decide it
“Thanks, Liv!”“There’s no need to thank me since it’s what I ought to do. Still, I never expected you to already live with the boss. That was quick.” Olivia was tidying her house and carrying a stack of clothes. She pinned her phone to her ear with her shoulder as her head slanted to one side. Olivia’s voice sounded broken.“Oh, hey!” Lily wondered if Olivia would be shocked and faint if she found out Lily and Alexander had already registered their marriage. In fact, they registered a long time ago.“Lily, I’m not criticizing you, but I’m going to say something that might not sound good. Although the boss is not bad and very attractive, you must be careful. I’m not saying he’s not good, just that he’s too good. Do you understand?”Olivia knew what she had to say was unpleasant, but she decided it was necessary.From her point of view, Lily was good at everything, just that she was a little dumb when it came to love. Previously when she was with Nathaniel, she blindly contributed
Nathaniel felt like his head was about to explode, especially his forehead. His eyelids hurt like crazy when he tried opening his eyes. Moreover, he could only make small movements.When Nathaniel woke up, he felt his head was about to explode.Not only did his head hurt, but his chest did too. There was not a spot on his body that did not hurt. He tried to move his hands and legs but discovered that everything below his thighs was numb. He could not feel a thing at all.He opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings. All he saw were patches of white, which scared him. When he saw the hanging bottle by his side, it scared him further. He could still make some faint noise but could not find out where he was—even turning his head hurt.His memories started returning, and he remembered going to the lab to find Mel. There he saw… Next, he drove out and got into an accident.‘That’s right! I was in an accident! A-Am I still alive? Why can’t I feel anything in my legs?!’Nathaniel pa
