The Cherished Wife Chapter 1967
Tania could not figure out if she had lost her mind, but she ended up arguing with Peter. She could not even recall what she said, but she ran off with shaky legs after that. Surprisingly, Peter did not come after her.Tania had thought the whole mess was behind her, especially after she saw Peter's guys destroy the story with her own eyes. However, it was now splashed across the pages of a magazine. There were whispers all over town that the big boss of Lennon Group, Peter, did not care much for the company of women. For years, no lady had been seen at his side, sparking all sorts of gossip. Those business bigwigs were just as much in the spotlight as movie stars, so the paparazzi were always hot on their heels. This time, someone must have set up the scoop in advance.Taking a deep breath, Tania turned to Liliana, only to find her friend's face all scrunched up in concern. "Liliana, I swear, I got it all wrong. I got a text saying Jamie was in that hotel room, so I went. I never
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1968
Liliana's words struck a chord, and Tania paused, suddenly still. She nodded. "Yes, Peter. I need to find Peter."If Jamie and Yasmin had set that trap for her and Peter, then she and Peter were in this together. After all, an enemy's enemy was a friend. They were both caught up in this mess, and she might have even upset Peter. Her next step was clear: she had to find Peter.Liliana watched Tania settle down and let out a relieved sigh. "You're not yourself right now. Stay home and rest for the next couple of days. Don't go out, okay?"Liliana kept reminding Tania, but seeing her unresponsive, she felt uneasy. She stayed by Tania's side all day. Tania was quiet the entire time. After dinner, when she was resting, Liliana seized the moment to call Sean. "Sean, can I talk to you for a second?"Sean had just walked through the hospital doors when his phone buzzed with a call from Liliana. He was the head of the hospital, but he still made sure to treat everyone the same. Though he wa

"Why not? Sean, it's not Tania's fault either. She's a victim too. Can't you just speak to Peter? Tania is really...""Liliana, I'm not refusing to help," Sean cut her off. "You know Peter's status in the Lennon family. Sure, the Lennon Group depends on him, but he's just the general manager, not the one calling the shots. Did you know that after his issue last night, the Lennon Group's been all over the place today?"Sean gazed at Liliana with a serious look in his eyes. "You make a good point, and yes, Tania is a victim. However, she did burst into the room, and that's a fact. She's partly to blame for what happened, right? The Lennon Group's stock took a nosedive today. Do you have any idea how much they lost?"Liliana's face turned white at Sean's words. "So, Peter won't let Tania off the hook, will he?"Sean stayed quiet. Truth be told, if Peter were to drop the issue, this girl would not be in any trouble. However, Peter had implicated Tania too.If Sean still could not figu

Liliana had thought Sean would not remember the incident, or if he did, it would not bother him. To her surprise, he had brought up Keith.After a brief pause, Liliana said, "His name is Keith."She looked straight at Sean and added, "He's my boyfriend."The moment she said it, the room went silent. Sean's expression did not change, but his eyes sparkled with a teasing glint.He stared intently at Liliana as if trying to read her. However, Liliana just met his gaze, her eyes revealing nothing more.She was not lying. Keith really was her boyfriend."When did this start?" Sean asked.He was not shocked that she had a boyfriend. She was nearly done with college, and dating was normal. However, a strange, suffocating feeling crept into his chest, leaving him feeling uneasy.He hated feeling out of control, but deep down, he knew Liliana was his sister, and it was only natural for her to date. He pushed down that odd feeling. "Does your older brother know about this?"Liliana was
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1971
Sean gently patted Liliana on the shoulder, his voice full of concern like a caring older brother.Liliana's face did not show it, but inside, she felt a sting of sadness. She had meant to keep her distance from Sean, but his words easily upset her, making her mind race. When he advised her not to rush into marriage, she could not help but wonder if he still had feelings for her.However, seeing how Sean was acting now, Liliana scolded herself for reading too much into it. The more she hoped, the more disappointed she felt."Sean, don't you have a night shift later? I can get home on my own!"Sean had wanted to take Liliana home, but his expression changed when he saw the man waiting at the door, his gaze passing over Liliana with a shadow of concern.Liliana saw Keith too and smiled. "Sean, my boyfriend's here, so I'll head off first, okay? You should get back."With that, she hurried over to where Keith was standing. "What brought you here?" she asked, a touch of surprise in he

While Liliana was unsure of what to do, Tania took matters into her own hands and went to find Peter. Tania was not the type to just wait around for trouble. Instead of letting Peter come after her for revenge, she figured it was better to go to him first. Peter might have a change of heart and let her off easy if she apologized. Tania did not really think Peter would let her go that easily, but she still believed it was better to do something than nothing at all.That day, with Liliana out of the way, Tania headed out. She had asked around about Peter before, and even though office rumors were not always true, sometimes they had helpful bits of info. When Tania got to The Majestic Lounge, she found a way to slip inside. Normally, The Majestic Lounge was not a place just anyone could walk into. Tania only got in easily and even found Peter's room without trouble because Peter had set it up from the beginning. Tania did not realize how hard it was supposed to be to get into The

Sean leaned casually against the door frame, towering over Tania. She shivered a little under his stare. "Uh... what are you doing here?"Sean just grinned. "Why can’t I be here? But I'm curious, what brings you here?"Tania nervously swallowed and peeked inside. The room was packed with people, but the one person she was searching for today was nowhere to be seen.Something was not adding up. Was her information wrong? Had Peter not shown up today?Watching Tania's puzzled face, Sean mused to himself that Peter was quite the stealthy guy. He was obviously smitten with the girl, yet he had vanished just as she arrived.With a playful look in his eyes, Sean's hand hovered over the doorknob. "Do you want to come in?"The people in the room all looked at Sean with nods of approval. Sean smiled and said, "You're here now, so come on in!""No, I shouldn't. I was just..." Tania suddenly felt shy.She had been brave when she first arrived, but as time passed, her boldness faded, leavi
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1974
Tania had felt uneasy ever since Peter walked in. Even though he had not looked at her once, she felt completely exposed.Peter's eyes were like dark pools, stirring with hidden currents, but he never rested his gaze on Tania. He walked over, casually tossed his coat aside, and sat down, staying perfectly still.Sean squinted and shut the door with a grin, then gave Tania's shoulder a gentle pat. "Tania, there's no need to be scared. Peter's not a tiger. He won't bite."Tania really wanted to give Sean an eye roll at that moment. Why could he not just zip it instead of stirring up trouble?She had thought it would be just Peter or maybe some of his clients or friends around. She had not counted on Sean being such a wild card.As Sean patted her shoulder, he caught a sharp look from someone.Sean pulled his hand back and went to sit by Gerald, laughing. He ran his long fingers over the cards. "Alright, let's get back to the game!"With Sean leading the way, the room buzzed with a

Thinking this, Tania looked up at Peter."You're really something. I'm indeed begging you now," she said with a smile, though there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes. She wrapped her legs around his waist, determined not to be passive, even if she was giving herself to him.Peter was surprised by Tania's sudden change in demeanor, but he did not reject her. With one strong motion, he lifted her up. She kissed him fiercely, taking the lead. He welcomed her initiative, his hands igniting sparks that set both of them ablaze.Peter roughly tore off her clothes. As her eyes grew hazy with desire, he placed her on the table and entered her in one swift motion.The encounter was long and intense. At first, Tania thought Peter would only take her once, but she underestimated his stamina. He went again and again until she finally passed out from exhaustion.When Tania woke up, she was lying in bed, and Peter was gone. Her head throbbed, likely from the hangover. She sat up and noticed t

"If I'm a bastard, then what are you?" Peter chuckled, one hand gripping Tania's waist. Tania could not help but let out a soft moan as her body was gently pushed back, leaning against the table.She felt utterly humiliated, but Peter clearly had no intention of letting her go. His rough hand unzipped her pants, and she screamed.Peter merely narrowed his eyes. "Tania, I don't want to force you.""Then what are you doing right now, you jerk?" Tania was truly desperate. "I did embarrass you, but it wasn't entirely my fault. I didn't mean to humiliate you, and I've already apologized. I don't think I deserve this."Peter raised an eyebrow. "I'll make you beg me to touch you!"His lips curled into a smile, sending shivers down Tania's spine."No, that's impossible!"However, Peter pressed down on her, his fingers exploring her body. Tania bit her lower lip to keep from making a sound. She struggled, but Peter showed no signs of stopping.By the end, Tania was drenched in sweat, he

"Don't know?" Peter repeated the words she had just said, then suddenly pulled Tania up.She stumbled right into his warm chest, and before she could react, she found herself lifted up. In just a flash, she was seated on the poker table and spun around so that she was sitting atop it while Peter stood before her.He looked down at her from above. Those deep, unreadable eyes carried something Tania could not quite understand. Her instincts told her to run, but Peter had her cornered.His hands pressed down on either side of her, trapping her in place. He raised one leg to part her knees, stepping between them. That smile on his lips made Tania's heart pound nervously. "You…" She swallowed hard, her head spinning even more.She was still young but not clueless. They had taught biology in school. She knew what that kind of posture and proximity meant. Tania inhaled sharply, unable to understand why someone like Peter—who could have any woman he wanted—would choose her and in such a

Tania felt like the alcohol she thought she had sobered up from suddenly came rushing back to her head. Peter's voice was like aged wine, intoxicating and seductive, making her shudder involuntarily. His tone carried a strange enchantment, and she sensed something was not right.Yet with his warm breath brushing against her ear, her mind went blank. Whatever she had meant to say completely slipped away. Peter did not give her a chance to collect herself."Hmm? So how do you think we should settle this?" he asked."S-Settle… what?" Tania stammered, struggling to keep her thoughts straight.Peter was too close—so close it scrambled her thinking. She tried pushing him back a little. "Didn't you say if I won, it'd be mine?""Oh?" Peter raised a brow and leaned in again, his cool lips grazing her earlobe. Tania flinched. She wanted to push him away, but his slightly rough fingers brushed her chin, sending a shiver through her body. Every nerve felt on edge."Looks like you're drunk.

Tania's face flushed red on the spot, and laughter erupted from the crowd around her. Even Lareal could not help but crack a smile, though Peter acted as if he had not heard anything. He simply tapped his index finger on the table, signaling Sean to continue.Sean raised a brow. Others might not have understood Peter's subtle cue, but Sean certainly did. That look was clearly a warning.He arched a brow, still wearing that ever-present smirk. His charming eyes glinted with amusement, but he did not say anything else. He just looked down, drew a card, and announced, "Flush."Peter narrowed his eyes slightly and cast a glance in Tania's direction. "Still not coming over?"Tania jolted and quickly scampered to stand beside him. "I'm here, Mr. Lennon!"Peter did not even look at her. Sean had won that round, and the next game began. Tania stood there, unsure of Peter's intentions. She just stayed put and quietly watched them play cards.Peter's luck seemed to soar the moment Tania st

"Not enough?" Tania tilted her head. "Then… what else do you want?"Peter shot a glance at Lareal, who immediately walked over, pulled a document from his briefcase, and handed it to Peter.Peter loosened his grip on Tania, but when he saw she was about to stumble, he reached out and wrapped an arm around her waist again.Tania's head spun, and the next thing she knew, she was enveloped in warmth. Her forehead bumped against Peter's chest, and just as she tried to move, Peter firmly held her in place. His steady, cold voice sounded from above her head. "An apology is fine, but sign this and we'll call it even.""What's this?"Her vision was hazy, and her head was spinning, but the bold letters at the top—something about a "contract of servitude"—were clear enough.Tania jolted awake and immediately shoved Peter away. "Bastard! I'm not signing that!"Peter raised a brow. "Oh?"Tania trembled but stood her ground. "No means no. I'm not signing it."Heh.She thought she heard a

Tania downed two bottles in one go, and the previously quiet room instantly came alive with noise because of her bold action.The young men in the room all turned their attention to her, some even whistling with excitement in their eyes. Tania was not just pretty; she was stunning.She had the kind of beauty that made hearts race the moment she entered a room. Watching her chug liquor like that—with the alcohol dripping from the corners of her mouth down her chin, her neck, and onto her clothes—only made their stares burn hotter.Even Peter's deep and unreadable gaze settled on her. Tania already felt the alcohol hitting her, but as long as Peter did not tell her to stop, she would not.She shook her head, trying to stay lucid. She then let out a soft hiccup and rested her head for a moment. Then, tilting her head back, she went for another bottle.Her boldness even drew a flicker of surprise from Peter's eyes.He chuckled lightly just as the door opened and Lareal walked in.Pe

Tania had her own temper. She had been gentle because she knew she was wrong and wanted to apologize sincerely. However, seeing that Peter did not care at all, Tania got angry and looked up at him with fiery eyes.Tania's small hands were balled into fists, her cheeks flushed red from bending over, and her forehead glistened with sweat. She stared at Peter, but he seemed to ignore her completely, which made her blood boil."Just tell me what you want," she said. "I know I messed up. I embarrassed you and hurt your business, so go ahead. Do whatever you want to me."She closed her eyes, bracing herself for the worst.Peter finally looked at her, a playful twinkle in his eye. He swirled his wine glass, a smile playing on his lips.The card players had stopped their game to watch the drama unfold. They were not really interested in cards. They were here for the show.Everyone but Sean inhaled sharply when they heard Tania's bold words to Peter. They remembered that the last person w
