“It wasn’t easy to get it, so please don’t reject it,” Ezrah said in a pleading tone, but Michelle was lost for words.“I know the gulf pearl parure bracelet was sold for 31 million. How much did you buy it for? And how did you get the necklace, which was priced separately?”The pair of jewelry was so expensive that interested buyers were allowed to purchase them separately.Michelle could afford it but had a limit to her expenditures, so how could she allow Ezrah to blow so much money?It was true what they said that women were the best financial managers.For Ezrah to get these items from the original buyer, he must have paid double or even triple the price.That bracelet was the most expensive in the world, containing 24 diamonds, 12 brilliant cut, and 12 marquise cut.“Ezrah, this is too expensive.”It was as if Ezrah had not heard her or had decided to ignore her intentionally.“If you don’t mind, can I replace the earring that came with the bracelet?”He removed the matching earr
Michelle thought about the main reason for their appearance together at this event.To lure Piper out of hiding, she needed to make her jealous, and Michelle was grateful for accepting Ezrah’s gift.This was the perfect opportunity to make Piper envious. When Michelle had her accident, Ezrah was buying shoes for Piper, so how would she feel knowing he blew so much on jewelry?“He is very special to me, and since you are so interested in how much I’m worth tonight, the jewelry are all gifts from him.”Ezrah smiled proudly, relieved.Being special to Michelle meant he had found a way back into her heart, but this time, he was determined to love her beyond her imagination and spoil her like a little brat.The media representative was shocked but pleased to have this information, although other media outlets and paparazzi were also catching wind of it.She couldn't help feeling jealous. Ezrah Gannon was a man who had never been seen in public with any woman before, keeping his private lif
A few days earlier, Piper received a call at her hideout.“Miss Henshaw, our men have been caught, and Michelle has been rescued from them by Mr. Gannon’s secret spies.”“What? Wasn’t Ezrah at the hospital?” Piper was confused and pained.Firstly, her plans had failed, and Ezrah had taken the stab meant for Michelle.This was a plan she had been plotting for a long time and only managed to execute when Rush provided her with the money.Michelle had promised not to take Ezrah back, but knowing her, Ezrah's act of heroism would likely win her heart back.“He is, but it seems he had already paid the men to watch over her before then, so the contract was still in progress.”“How is Michelle?” Piper asked through gritted teeth, expecting the worst.“She’s fine.”Piper was furious. She had known Ezrah before Michelle and felt entitled to him. How dare Michelle play the victim?Since she couldn't have Sebastian back, she wanted to eliminate Michelle and eventually make her way back to Ezrah.
“Well, if I take down Michelle, who would know? I would just find an excuse to give Rush,” Piper thought deeply.After all, they were both on the same page.Her mother saw through her foolishness and tried to dissuade her.“That will not work. I…” there was another call waiting, and she said, “Mom, there’s a call coming. I would have to call you back.”She answered the call after her mother ended hers and was heartbroken.“Piper, didn’t you say that Michelle won’t give Ezrah a chance? The media caught them on camera.”“Ezrah was on the set throughout Michelle’s shoots. They arrived in New York together and were seen together going to one of Michelle’s stores,” one of her friends gave her an update.Piper’s eyes were already filling up with tears, and she wiped them before they had the chance to fall.By the time the gossip friend sent the link, Piper was completely broken.Then she saw the news about the premiere.“Whatever, Michelle would not live to enjoy the fame.”No matter the si
Michelle stared at Ezrah. A lot happened at these parties, and aside from drinks, food, and interactions here and there, there was nothing really special, and she got tired of it all.Embarrassment filled her heart when she admitted to herself that Ezrah had really changed, and she was desirous of knowing more about her ex-husband, who now seemed like a different person.“No, let’s go home.”Ezrah was beyond amazed, and swiftly, he lifted her in his arms. “Ezrah…” Michelle buried her head in his chest shyly, as gazes pinned on her from shock.“You look so cute when you do that,” Ezrah teased. Michelle chuckled and wrapped her arms around his neck, not caring about the paparazzi who kept taking pictures of them.If Ezrah, who loved to keep a low profile, did not, then why should Michelle, especially when they were not doing anything bad?During the drive to the Gannons mansion, she could not tell if the things she was feeling were all because of the wine, but the more she stared at Ezra
“Stop being so polite, Ezrah, just do it,” Michelle said desperately, eager to have him inside her once again.Without hesitation, his manhood invaded her walls like a pleasurable tsunami, breaking down every barrier and hitting her G-spot.Michelle felt fleeting desires of slight pain due to her years of abstinence, followed by a flood of desires rushing in all at once.“God, you are so tight. I hope you're not getting hurt,” Ezrah said with concern, groaning at the sensation of her warm walls wrapped securely around his member once more.Neither of them could recall how their first time felt, as they had been drugged. However, Ezrah had woken up first and noticed the bloodstains.Michelle threw her head back in pleasure but felt fuller than ever. “Ezrah, have you grown bigger?”She was referring to his size, and her tone carried a mix of excitement and discomfort.“I haven’t. You've just grown tighter.”He pressed his lips against hers, kissing her passionately and thrusting into her
In a dimly lit room, Piper opened her eyes, her heart pounding with fear.“Help! Is anyone there? Please, get me out of here!” she cried out, but her pleas only echoed back to her from the empty room.The situation felt all too familiar, and she was desperate to reason with Rush.“Rush, please, let me explain. Just untie me and get me out of here.”She wished she had been blindfolded, as the darkness around her only heightened her fear.No one responded to her cries for help, leaving her feeling abandoned and alone.Surely, she couldn't be left like this, could she? Her hands were bound behind the chair, restricting her movement, and her legs were tied to the chair's front legs.“Please, Rush, I'm so sorry,” she continued to plead, but her words fell on deaf ears.Unable to gauge how much time had passed, the sudden flicker of lights blinded her momentarily as they turned on.The sound of footsteps approaching filled her with dread, and a familiar scent wafted through the air.No, it
But what did Michelle mean by saying that Piper had brought them closer? It confused Piper.“Michelle, what are you talking about?” Piper’s shaky voice caused them to break from the kiss, and Michelle had a cute smile on her face.She revealed proudly, “I gave Ezrah a second chance because he saved my life, thanks to you.”Michelle wanted so much to strangle Piper but couldn't. She knew deep down that she was very happy, and for the most part, she had Piper to thank for it.For the first time, she was able to make it on her own, and not even Ezrah’s brothers would be able to call her a gold digger anymore.She did not hate them, but their behaviors were always out of line.If she had stayed and built everything with Ezrah, she would never have been accorded this level of respect.Piper was completely shattered.She had intended for Michelle to die so that Ezrah would be hers, so how had things turned against her?She didn’t expect it, given how cold Michelle had been before.There was
