“Thank you.” She had already thanked him many times tonight.

Daniel turned around and walked out. Just as he placed his hand on the door handle, he stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at her. “I’ll get Francesca to call home. Sleep peacefully.”

Just as she was about to thank him again, he closed the door. She could not help but laugh at how pretentious she had been tonight.

After Daniel left, she walked to the window and pulled open the curtains. South Bay was the only villa in the area. There were no lights outside the window, but a lawn and a flower garden.

She stood by the window and enjoyed the breeze for a while. Her muddled mind gradually cleared up. Seeing that it was almost midnight, she went into the bathroom to take a shower.

After coming out of the bathroom, she dried her hair and lay down on the bed. Perhaps it was because too many things had happened tonight or because she was in an unfamiliar environment, but she could not fall asleep no matter what she did. I

    A thin light shone into the room through the gap in the curtains. The woman in the room was sleeping soundly, her bathrobe strewn messily on the floor.There was a knock on the door, and Arabella propped her aching head up before sitting up. She was immediately greeted with an unfamiliar environment. The soreness she felt all over her body gradually cleared her chaotic consciousness.The knocking on the door continued, and she pulled up the blanket that had fallen to cover the marks on her body. “Please come in.”Mrs. Winstead pushed the door open and saw two bathrobes on the floor. She was surprised for a moment as she put the clothes she had just brought in on the stool next to her. “Miss Arabella, the sun is already high in the sky. It’s time to get up.”“Thank you,” said Arabella, rubbing her temples.After Mrs. Winstead had left, Arabella went over to the clothes on the stool. Other than the business attire she wore to work, there was also a new set of underwear that was exactly

    John saw her reaction and rolled down the window again. The smell of tobacco inside gradually dissipated.Arabella looked out of the car window, knowing how tense John’s face was. The two of them were silent throughout the journey, making the atmosphere in the car quite suffocating.Alfred, the driver, couldn’t help but look at the two people behind him through the rearview mirror. He was anxious and worried.John had booked a private room at a restaurant in advance. The waiter led them in and handed them the menu.Serenity took the menu and asked suspiciously, “Will it be just the two of us?”John took off his suit jacket and hung it on the hanger in the corner. He pulled out a chair and sat down. “Is that not OK?”When her eyes met his deep eyes, Arabella fell speechless again, and she quickly buried her head into the menu while flipping through quickly.Some time passed, but she hadn’t ordered any dishes, so John casually ordered for the table.When Arabella heard the names of the

    When John returned home, Serenity had just finished bathing Eva Grant. Upon seeing her father, Eva immediately stretched her arms and cried out for him. “Dad…”Eva Grant’s small face was chubby, and her watery eyes looked longingly at him. He pursed his lips slightly and did not reach out to his daughter.The little girl wriggled unhappily in Serenity’s arms and pouted her pink lips.Serenity saw that he was in a bad mood while her daughter looked aggrieved. She tried to calm Eva down by saying, “Eva, do you want Daddy more than Mommy? In that case, I won’t tell you any more stories in the future.”Although the little girl was young, she knew what her mother meant. She turned to kiss her mother’s cheek, causing Serenity to laugh.Serenity carried Eva Grant into the bedroom, and not long after, a gentle female voice could be heard telling the story of a little tadpole looking for its mother.Once Eva Grant had fallen asleep, Serenity came out of the bedroom.

The following calls to John immediately went to voicemail.If the bank refused to lend them money, then Arabella would have to marry someone through a business marriage. That was why she came to look for Yanis Linde but did not expect to be rejected twice.The lobby manager came out of the private room and saw that Arabella was still there. He remembered what President Linde had told him earlier and walked up to her. “Miss, please leave. President Linde doesn’t have time to see you.”But Arabella was not going to go down easily. In all seriousness, she said, “If he’s not free, I shall wait until he is.”The lobby manager still had a smile on as he said, “Miss, this is a restaurant. If you’re waiting for someone, please wait elsewhere.”“This is the hotel lounge. Besides, I am not obstructing your business. T

    A large room with floor-to-ceiling windows was relatively empty except for a few messy paint easels.A woman dressed in home clothes was sitting in front of an easel. She held a color palette in one hand and a paintbrush in the other with her back toward a window looking out into the blue sky with white clouds.In the corner of the studio was a resting area with a dark purple leather sofa. A man in a white shirt sat with his legs crossed. His well-tailored black suit pants wrapped around his smooth legs. He was holding a cup of coffee and slowly sipping it.He knew Wendy Garcia didn’t like to be disturbed while she was painting, so he waited patiently.As she dipped her brush into the paint, Wendy suddenly said, “Are you that free to be able to leisurely sip coffee on my couch?”Daniel’s black eyes narrowed as he slowly put down the coffee spoon he was using to stir the coffee. He picked up the folder by his side and placed it on the coffee table. “There’s something that needs your sig

    Outside the police station, a black Maybach was by the roadside. The man in the backseat stared at the entrance of the police station with a deep gaze, his lips pursed into a thin line, his dark eyes emotionless. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.Caleb was sitting in the driver’s seat and kept looking back through the rearview mirror. Daniel had not moved an inch nor given any instructions – Caleb was getting curious.Sitting next to Daniel was another man wearing a standard three-piece suit. Although his facial features were not as outstanding, he would still stand out in the crowd.Xeno Zaccardi was looking at the man next to him with confusion. They had been sitting here for almost an hour in silence. What was happening?In the end, Xeno’s patience was running out as he asked, “President Garcia, shall we go in?”Daniel flipped his phone in his lap and said, ‘Til wait for you here.”Xeno and Caleb got out of the car and entered the police station.In the interrogation room,

    Arabella had already mentally prepared herself to go to court. But this matter was surprisingly resolved so easily. After leaving the police station, she thanked Xeno and Michael again and again.Xeno raised his chin in a certain direction and said, “If there’s anyone to thank, it should be him.”Arabella turned around and followed his line of sight to see a familiar car parked in a hidden spot across the road. She had thought Caleb was the only one who came tonight with Xeno. So she was surprised to see ‘him’ here as well.Michael drove over and wound down his window. “Miss Arabella, where do you live? Do you need me to give you a ride?”The corners of Arabella’s lips slowly curled up as she smiled and said, “No, thanks.”Michael didn’t ask further and turned to Xeno to exchange a few pleasantries before driving away.Daniel was looking across the road through the car window of his Maybach, his gaze fixated on Arabella.

    Arabella returned home. Before she stepped into the living room, she heard Benjamin Rivera’s furious voice. Although she did not know what was going on, the rage was undeniable.She hesitated for a moment and prepared to sit on the steps of the garden, thinking of returning to her room later so that she would not be implicated. But as soon as she turned around, a maid came out of nowhere and said, “Miss Arabella, you’re back.”The voices in the living room stopped abruptly, followed by another roar. “Arabella, come in!”She could not help but shiver. In the past, no matter how much Benjamin Rivera did not like her, he had at least only been lukewarm towards her and never lost his temper. It wasn’t hard to tell that he was furious right now.She entered the living room and slowly changed into her bedroom shoes at the entrance. She walked towards Benjamin Rivera and saw Helena sitting on the sofa, looking at her worriedly.“Did you hurt President Linde?” asked Benjamin Rivera furiously.

    “Yeah, it was quite entertaining,” said Jack, stretching out his hand, with two 500 bank notes that Daniel had earned with ten minutes of work.He had to walk up to Jack to pull them out of his hand, which was the pinnacle of this experience. “Did you pull up here just for this?” he groaned and pushed the money into his pocket.“No, I still want my car washed,” said Jack, putting his hands into his pockets, on both sides of the bulge in his pants. He smelled of arousal, and all of a sudden, handsome Daniel could tell.“Sure, why not. Why not watch how badly I did, huh?” Daniel walked back to the buckets, trying to ignore the burning shame. “‘Look at me, I used to be the school loser and now I’ve got a Jag’,” he muttered and dipped the large sponge in the soapy water.Jack sighed. “You must really hate it, don’t you?”Daniel’s pulse sped up, and he could feel the vein bulging out on his neck. Even the orgasm he’d just had couldn’t soothe his nerves when Jack rubbed his success into Dan

    Jack Ramirez POV “Daniel Garcia, am I right? The basketball star?”Daniel gave him a crooked smile. Daniel Garcia, the basketball star. That did sound nice. Too bad it wasn’t school anymore, and you couldn’t live off being a mediocre basketball player. He’d been good in school, just not good enough for a scholarship.But Daniel had to focus on the problem at hand. He couldn’t link those tantalizing eyes to a name at all. “Yeah, long time ago,” he said and held out his hand to the guy, hoping the driver would save him from his misery and introduce himself. He didn’t even take the hand Daniel Garcia offered.“Do you know who I am?” he asked with a small smile.Daniel crooked his head to the side and rubbed his hand against his sweaty stomach as if he’d never held it out. This was getting truly annoying. “Not really, no.” He shrugged, trying to keep his cool even though goosebumps of shame were crawling up his back.

    Daniel Garcia POVThe heat made Daniel Garcia boil in his uniform, so even though his boss had told him not to, he pushed the top of his coveralls down to his hips. Daniel was pretty sure the old pig was just jealous that his employee looked so much hotter than him. Not to mention both Manny’s wife and their daughter, Kiara Ramos, were making eyes at Daniel Garcia, which couldn’t be going down all that well with the guy. Manny Ramos probably only kept Daniel on because he couldn’t find anyone else who’d do the job for the slave wages he was willing to offer and live in the ancient motel by the gas station as well.Daniel carried a crate of beer into the small convenience store where Manny Ramos sat behind the counter, sweating, farting, watching TV, and fanning himself with a newspaper. Without a word, Daniel made his way toward the fridge to stack it full of beer. When he left home three years ago, he never thought he’d end up working at a shabby gas station in a deserted place, in a

    Xander Reyes POVXander looked at this Daniel, so gorgeous, pretty, hard, and needy. It was one of the easiest assignments he’d ever had. His bright hazel eyes were heavy with lust, and then sooty black lashes swept Daniel's face as he shut his eyes tight. Xander didn’t kiss on jobs like this, ever, nor did any of his clients ever get to know his real name. But right now, seeing Daniel’s lips parted in a moan, his name repeated over and over, it was all he could do not to bite down on Daniel’s plump lower lip and then lick his way into that appealing open mouth. Groaning, he pulled himself back, he needed to get his head back in the game, and he wasn’t going to expose his vulnerability like that. He focused back on what he was doing, turning Daniel into a pile of sobbing need in his arms. "Want to suck me?" Xander asked, low and insistent. "Want me to force you to your knees, and make you suck me until I come all over your skin, rub it in… make you beg for me?"Xander felt Daniel push

    Daniel Garcia Past LifeDaniel Garcia lived his own life far from his brother after they separated from their parents. He tried so damn hard to be a good straight husband. The life he chose meant so much to him. He experienced the ultimate sin which made him aware of the remnants of his past. Together with his brother, he approached the only sparkling desire that he thought to be the answer to his dream. Daniel wanted a family of his own, but, fate was unkind to him.It may have been the alcohol or the high of knowing tomorrow he’d be closer to changing his life, but tonight, worse the wear for the beers he had downed in quick succession on an empty stomach, meant that for once, he wanted to be himself. So he stood here, in a gay bar on what the cab driver said was the wrong side of town. The bar had shadowed corners and the smell of sex in the air—he watched.He watched the man at the bar; saw him leaning back, veiled eyes scanning the heaving late-night crowd. He stood in sinfully

    Arabella put her cutlery down too and indifferently said, “He just doesn’t want to see me. So no matter how much you cook, you won’t persuade him otherwise.”‘Didn’t you say that you didn’t want to see me? Why did you come back then?’She remembered every single word he said yesterday which lingered like thorns in her heart.Daniel’s expression turned colder when he heard her words. He walked away to pick up the car keys on the coffee table and grabbed his coat at the entrance.He must have used too much force because the hanger shook twice and almost fell to the ground.Daniel walked out and not long after, the sound of a car engine came from outside.Mrs. Winstead walked to the living room and saw Daniel driving away. She returned to the dining room with a gloomy expression. “Young Madam…”After Daniel left, Arabella lost her appetite so she stood up and walked towards the stairs.Mrs. Winstead looked on and sighed heavily.

    He got up and walked towards the stairs. She followed closely behind him and the two headed up to the second floor one after another. When they reached the bedroom door, Daniel did not stop, continuing to walk towards the study room.Arabella grabbed his sleeve again and Daniel stopped in his tracks. He turned around to look at her expressionlessly.“What are you angry about?” She looked up and met his dark eyes.He looked back at her innocent eyes and the words that he wanted to ask became stuck in his throat. “Nothing,” said he calmly.“How can it be ‘nothing’? You haven’t been home for half a month.” Afraid he would shake her off, she tightened her grip on his sleeve which started to wrinkle.“It was a business trip,” said he curtly.“What about before the business trip? Furthermore, Caleb told me that it has been a few days since you returned from your business trip.”Well, the part about Caleb telling her so was a lie. But she felt no guilt implicating Daniel’s assistant since Ca

    Arabella had been waiting in the parking lot of Zephyr Group since 4 p.m.Afraid that she would be seen by her colleagues, she chose to hide in an inconspicuous corner while keeping her eyes on Daniel’s car.One hour, two hours, three hours passed, but Daniel still did not appear.The sky gradually darkened and the lights in the parking lot were a little dim, making the place gloomy and cold.She wrapped her coat tightly around her body and crouched as if to curl herself into a ball. Since she stayed in that position for quite some time, her legs started to feel a little numb. She decided to stand and walk a few steps to return blood flow to her legs. After stretching for a while, she resumed her crouched position.With the night approaching, the cold in the dim parking lot grew heavier – Arabella started to shiver. She wanted to go home in a huff, but she was also unwilling to do so without having confronted Daniel.What right did he have to treat her like this?Even if he was angry,

    When it was the day of the pregnancy checkup, Daniel had not returned from the business trip. She was already expecting to go to the hospital alone only to find someone else in the living room when she came downstairs.“Why are you here?” She looked at Francesca in surprise.“Young Madam, President Garcia asked me to accompany you to the hospital,” said Francesca gently.It seemed that he still remembered the date. Arabella nodded. “Let’s go.”Mrs. Winstead noticed how thin the clothes Arabella was wearing so the former handed the latter a red coat on the hanger at the entrance.How could Arabella refuse Mrs. Winstead’s kind intentions? The former took off her jacket and put on the coat. Then, Arabella grabbed her bag and left the living room with Francesca following behind her.Because Francesca had made an appointment in advance, they went straight to the hospital for the checkup.
