Ethan used the excuse of needing to sober up and took Madelyn to the rest area.As soon as they entered, Madelyn felt guilty, "I'm sorry. The phone call earlier was indeed from Yvonne. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry. I didn't think they'd come."Ethan looked a little intoxicated. His eyes were filled with tiredness. He had been busy all day, starting from four in the morning. Moreover, he did not rest properly last night.Madelyn poured a glass of warm water and sat beside him. Ethan looked like he did not blame her. He stretched his hand to stroke her hair, "I know... Don't take their words to heart. If they ever approach you again and you can't handle it, just tell me, okay?"Madelyn responded, "Okay. I won't keep it from you again. I know you don't like people talking about that in front of you; that was why I didn't tell you."Ethan asked, "Can I hug you?"Madelyn leaned forward to let him hug her for a while.She was leaving for Paris tomorrow. So, aft
Just then, Leyton suddenly pushed the door open and walked in, "It's bad, Mr. Arnold. Mrs. Arnold. Sr. is sick."Ethan instantly opened his eyes and sat up. A hint of light flashed past his eyes as he asked, "What happened?"Leyton responded, "It's said that you need to return home right now, and Ms. Jent doesn't need to follow you."Madelyn was confused as she asked, "Why?"Ethan looked at her.Leyton explained, "I'm not sure. But it's Mrs. Arnold Sr.'s wish. However, the servant's tone didn't seem unusual. Maybe she knows that that you have to leave the country and doesn't want you to worry."Madelyn thought, 'This guess seems to align with how she does things.'Ethan frowned. He felt that things were not so simple. He asked, "How's her current condition?"Leyton responded, "The family doctor has already rushed over."Ethan stood up. He grabbed his blazer and said to Madelyn, "Rest at the hotel. I'll go back now."Madelyn said, "I'll go with you."Ethan replied, "Listen to
The bathroom was warm and humid. It was filled with mist. Under the light, inside the steaming bathtub, the girl's skin was as white as snow. She hung her delicate arms over the edge of the bathtub. Her eyes were empty, showing no signs of resistance.She was swaying her nude body inside the rippling water, evoking one's limitless imagination. Zach carefully wiped every part of her body. His movements were slow. He was enjoying what he was doing.His gaze was intense as he stared at the person in front of him. The way he looked at Madelyn was as if he was not looking at a person but a perfect work of art. His eyes were filled with a strong desire and possessiveness at this moment.An hour later, they came out of the bathroom.The scene of a stunning beauty being held in the arms of a tall, powerful man was reflected on the floor-to-ceiling windows. Madelyn's long hair was hanging down. Zach looked handsome, yet dangerous. His soft, cold, thin lips curved subtly as he slowly put her
Madelyn said, "Brother..."Zach's curvy upper body muscles were sexy. The droplets of his sweat glided down his arms. The next moment, he bent down forcefully the next moment and pressed his body against hers. She did not even have the chance to catch her breath.Madelyn felt a sharp pain and was briefly lucid for a few seconds. Her soft lips were covered. Her voice was suppressed within her throat.When the sharp pain faded, Madelyn changed her moaning sound to cries for mercy.They went from the bed to the floor, then to the bathroom, and finally to the floor-to-ceiling window.The entire room was filled with an atmosphere of sensuousness.During the time that had passed, Madelyn drifted in and out of consciousness countless times.At three in the morning, the room gradually quieted down. Madelyn was completely unconscious, sleeping in Zach's embrace.The phone at the bedside displayed an incoming call from Ethan. Zach just faintly glanced at it. He then threw away the cigare
After Ethan went back to his place, he sat on the couch in the living room and smoked all night. The ashtray was filled with cigarette butts.In the early morning, just before six o'clock, when the sky outside had just begun to brighten slightly, the servant was preparing to clean the house. She was very surprised to find the entire living room filled with smoke.She thought, 'Mr. Arnold just got engaged to Ms. Jent yesterday. Shouldn't he be at the hotel with her now?'"What's the time now?" Ethan suddenly spoke. The servant's heart skipped a beat, "Mr. Arnold, it's almost six in the morning now."He thought, 'Is the sky outside bright now?'Ethan's eyes were filled with red veins as he glanced outside. When he stood up, his body swayed. He then suddenly closed his eyes and passed out."Mr. Arnold!" The servant exclaimed. She quickly went to call the family doctor.The family doctor arrived half an hour later. After he examined Ethan, he said, "Mr. Arnold was just overtired and
At eight in the morning, Madelyn was awakened by a ringtone. She held onto her head as she sat up. She was currently wearing a white nightgown.'What happened? Why does my head hurt? Could it be because I didn't sleep well last night?' Madelyn thought.She stared at the scattered rose petals and destroyed roses on the floor.'How did such a beautiful flower end up like this? What happened last night? Why can't I remember anything about it?' Madelyn wondered.She could only remember taking the room key from the steward. When she returned to her room, she felt a little hot and went to shower. After that, she vaguely remembered falling asleep.She swiftly pulled the blanket away and got out of bed. She felt her body gave away when her bare feet touched the ground. At the same time, she felt a tearing sensation in her nether regions while her abdomen felt a little bloated.Madelyn, who had been through this, knew her situation. This was the type of sensation you would have after havi
Madelyn endured the pain while showering. As the warm water trickled down from her head, Madelyn closed her eyes and still felt something was wrong. She touched the sensitive places on her nether regions. There were no swollen marks, and most of the pain was gone.She did not see the red mark on her inner thigh. It was hidden from plain sight, so Madelyn did not notice.'Could I be overthinking it? Maybe nothing happened last night. Even if something did happen, I might've been in a drunken craze. How else could the roses be ruined just like that?' Madelyn thought.She remembered that she had seen people not remembering anything after getting drunk. Madelyn swiftly brushed aside her worries. After showering for half an hour, she came out wrapped in a towel. If she looked behind herself, she would see love marks all over her back from the mirror.After she got dressed, Madelyn called Ethan. In half a minute, he picked up her call. She asked him, "Ethan, how is Evelyn?""Ms. Jent!"
Kai clicked his tongue in disapproval. He said, "To have you being so mindful of her must be scary. I have to say, Madelyn must be really unlucky. Meeting you has truly ruined her life."Did you prank Ethan because you were vengeful of him for taking the Azure Corporation stock and dismissing your position?" Kai continued to ask.Zach did not reply, so Kai treated it as him agreeing by default. As for being an enemy to such a devious person, Kai was glad Zach and him were on the same side. Zach was so calculative that Kai was worried he would be just a pawn among his schemes. When comparing their cunningness, he was way out of his league.After asking him, Kai stretched his hand and said, "Shouldn't you give me back the remaining drug? I spent quite a lot of money to research this. The fifty milliliters is all that I have of it."Zach stepped on the gas and swung the steering wheel. He then turned the car around to leave before saying, "The drug was good. I'll remember to bring it
