A masked burly guard dressed in black grabbed the still-pleading CEO of X by the collar and poured a bottle of aphrodisiac into his mouth. As soon as the guard did, he threw both Aster and the X Ceo on Aster's bed, shut the door, tossed the key away, and disappeared from Aster's room without leaving a trace.Due to the overdose of the aphrodisiac given to him, the X Ceo’s body was hotter and more uncomfortable than he could bear. Seeing Aster within hand reach, he pulled Aster, captured her lips, and pressed her beneath him roughly.Although Aster tried to scream, yell, and escape, she was unable to resist the fat X CEO.Soon, the drug completely took over Aster, including her rationality. Immediately, Aster threw her hands around X CEO's neck and passionately returned the kiss.Upon feeling Aster's enthusiasm, X CEO roughly tears Aster's dress and throws it somewhere across the room.Without bothering to pleasure her, X CEO thrust himself into Aster. Aster's eyes squinted in pleas
"Did you just get off call with Lotus? She's pregnant.” Quist tucked his hands into his pocket and leisurely strode into Zelda’s office. He was in a black suit, and his hair was slicked back, revealing his handsome face and accentuating his tall figure.Zelda's eyes sparkled, and a broad smile surfaced on her face, revealing her two cute dimples. Due to the joy that was coursing through her, Zelda momentarily forgot the grievances and fury she had toward the stinky man in front of her and nodded her like a chicken pecking rice, "Yes..."Before Zelda could complete her words, Quist lowered his head so he could be face-to-face with the women. He tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and revealed his typical playboy smile. “Had Lotus not been so considerate to Zaire’s sincere chasing and feelings, she and Zaire might not have a baby and be happy ever after by now." He uttered while staring at Zelda meaningfully. Zelda's expression changed, and the fury that had momentarily dissi
Chapter 84: WINNING THE LUDOVIC FAMILY “Are you sure about this?” Zaire carefully wrapped his hands around Lotus' waist and stared at her seriously. Even though his eyes were calm, one wouldn't fail to see the worry in his eyes.The expression on Zaire's face almost made Lotus laugh loudly, but knowing that the man was only concerned about her made her heart warm. It was as if her heart had been caressed with so much love, making her whole person sweet.Shouldn't Zaire be the one to ask her to visit the Ludovic family mansion regularly? Why was Zaire worried that Lotus wouldn't like Freya and Fickel’s reactions and would rather she stayed back to avoid getting hurt?Freya and Fickel clearly don't like Lotus, so they both knew that the couple might not be happy with the news they wanted to share, and Zaire was afraid that it would make Lotus sad.Lotus grabbed Zaire's hand and squeezed it comfortingly before raising her head to stare at him with a calm smile on her face. This man had
At that minute, Darvish leisurely strode into the mansion. Noticing the tense and weird ambiance, his brows furrowed slightly. “Grandad, mom, dad, Venus.” He greeted calmly.Immediately, Darvish turned to Zaire and Lotus while slightly glaring at Zaire due to grievances. He never expected that Zaire, that iceberg, would settle down and have a kid before him. None of them expected that, but they should have all expected it because Zaire had always been unpredictable. “Congratulations…”“Congratulations?” Grandpa Ludovic stopped paying attention to the chess and interjected carefully. His sharp eyes fell on the couple immediately, as if to ask what the congratulations were about.“We are having a baby.” Zaire calmly responded, his expression softening and a gentle smile forming on his face. He wrapped his hands around Lotus' waist as if to tell them that regardless of what their response might be, he'll always stand next to Lotus.Venus' eyes flew wide open, and her calm expression dist
As soon as Zaire left for Grandpa Ludovic's office, the ambiance seemed to turn more chilling and suffocating, making Lotus feel extremely miserable.Lotus couldn't fail to capture Venus' glaring eyes, which she ignored. Although Freya didn't say a word, the cold and alienating aura oozing from her was enough for Lotus to realize that Freya didn't want Lotus to approach her.Venus held Freya's hand and repeatedly laughed while acting coquettishly. It was vivid that Venus was using her actions to flaunt to Lotus and depicting that, so what if Lotus had Zaire's backing? Venus had the entire family's back, so she still had the last laugh.Lotus ignored Venus' attempt to make her unhappy. Instead, she sat straight and made sure to take a deep breath and calm herself down so she wouldn't affect her baby.“I heard you can play chess well.” The sudden sentence of Fickel snapped Lotus out of her thoughts, causing her to turn toward Fickel. Lotus elegantly nodded, “Yes, Master…”“We are a fam
Lotus calmly hugged Zaire and patted his back gently. “Is anything wrong? Grandpa doesn't accept us?” She spoke softly while patting his back in comfort. Zaire shook his head and separated from Lotus. “I don't want to lose you. Baby, I can't live without you,” he muttered, his eyes seeming to be pleading that Lotus should promise him not to leave him.Lotus' eyes crinkled and her heart warmed. She tiptoed and raised her neck to place a kiss on Zaire's lips. “Sealing my promise to never leave Zaire...”Before Lotus could complete her words, Zaire grabbed the back of her head and kissed her intensely until she was out of breath.Zaire separated from Lotus when he felt that he was about to shoot himself in the feet. Immediately, he grabbed Lotus' hand and strode out of the mansion while Lotus giggled in amusement. Lotus' lips curved up with joy, and she squeezed Zaire's hand gently to seal her promise again and again. She believed that Freya and Venus' words must have been the reason f
Aster's eyes flew wide open to find herself in her room. Suddenly, the recollection of how Zaire's guard had grabbed her, poured aphrodisiac down her throat, and how X CEO grabbed and tore her clothes before he began to infiltrate roughly invaded her mind, causing her expression to distort.Suddenly, footsteps began to invade her ear. Aster immediately shut her eyes and pretended to be asleep.Riley and Ezra stepped into the room; an indifferent expression was hung on Ezra's face, while a worried expression was hung on Riley's face.“Darling, our daughter hasn't woken up yet. It's past 24 hours.” Riley expressed and clung to Ezra’s hand worriedly. Ezra's face turned stern, and he harrumphed. Due to Aster's actions, the family couldn't go out because reporters now blocked their door. As if that wasn't enough, Aster's actions have painted a bad image on Ezra and the Meyer family as a whole. “Hmph! What use does she have if she wakes up?” He chided unhappily. Riley's expression changed
Zelda alighted the car, slammed the door behind her, and shut it, different thoughts pervading her mind.After a few minutes of pondering, Zelda already came to a decision, which was to avoid Quist until the very end.Zelda believed that a playboy like Quist was only interested in conquering Zelda, and once Quist had already had enough fun with Zelda, Quist wouldn't hesitate to toss her and walk away.Feeling the familiar emotions bubbling in her heart, Zelda already realized what it was, and she knew she had to put her all into extinguishing that emotion and preventing it from rising again… “Zelda.” The sudden, familiar voice of Cephas snapped Zelda out of her thoughts. Upon seeing Cephas, Zelda's expression changed and she scowled. “Why are you here?” She scolded harshly.Immediately, Cephas extended his hand and attempted to grab Zelda's hand, but before he could, Zelda smacked his hand away. Zelda glared at Cephas fiercely, her whole person filled with rage. She already had eno
