Senator Archer said happily, "Mr. Ronan, thank you for gracing us with your presence! Miss Lyra looks truly beautiful today!"Ronan elegantly smiled, "Senator Archer, you are too kind.""Liora Archer has benefited a lot working under Mr. Ronan's guidance," Senator Archer continued.At this moment, Liora Archer approached, smiling, "Mr. Ronan, Miss Lyra, you've arrived?"Liora Archer pretended to be very friendly."The men are discussing business; Miss Lyra, come with me to socialize over there. Many socialites and ladies are eager to meet you!" she suggested, looking at Lyra.Lyra glanced at Ronan, and he nodded, "Go ahead!"So, Liora Archer took Lyra with her.She introduced Lyra to the crowd, making her acquainted with the socialites and ladies present.When they heard that she was Miss Lyra, everyone stared at her in surprise.Ahem!After all, Ronan's past reputation wasn't great.Some people looked with curiosity, some with disdain, and many with jealousy.Lyra didn't believe that
Liora Archer, who was originally triumphant, turned green in the face!She didn't understand how things had turned out this way.The original plan was for Octavia Everly to escape from the connecting room, let the drunkard break-in, and harass Lyra.Liora Archer would then bring the socialites and ladies over, pretending to accidentally catch Lyra in the act.In front of everyone's eyes, Lyra would undoubtedly be disgraced.During the first three months of pregnancy, there should be no sexual activity, especially with a drunkard. Her unborn baby wouldn't stand a chance.But now, why had Octavia Everly ended up inside, and Lyra was standing outside so composed?Lyra sneered in her heart. She had long seen through Liora Archer and Octavia Everly's scheme to lure her to the second floor.Fortunately, she was prepared, using a stun gun on Octavia Everly and pepper spray to handle the drunkard.Otherwise, it would be challenging to explain in front of so many people.She rushed in three st
When he woke up, he found himself locked in a dark and cramped little black room.The room was filled with a nauseating and disgusting smell, with no windows, only a sealed small iron door.Someone came to deliver food once a day, and everything, eating, drinking, and even using the bathroom, happened in this little black room.Vincent Russo still couldn't believe how miserable he had become after falling from grace.Just half a month ago, he was the enviable second son of the Russo family in T City. In the blink of an eye, his family faced a disastrous collapse.First, his father was imprisoned for bribery, and then his previously unremarkable uncle suddenly turned hostile, taking over everything from the Russo family.What surprised him even more was that his mother had been having an affair with his uncle for over a decade.Those who used to nod and bow to him now wished to trample him into the mud.Angry, he planned to go to the neighboring city to seek justice from the Russo fam
Vincent Russo crossed his arms, squinted his eyes, and sneered, "No grievances or enmities? Why did you drugged me that day, and give me the wrong room number?""That day, were you trying to set me up, making me harass Miss Lary?" Vincent Russo's crimson eyes suddenly contracted, and he appeared like an avenger from hell, with a ruthless killing intent in his eyes.Liora Archer's body trembled like chaff, her face turned pale. She stuttered, "H-ho... how could that be? It was a mistake in remembering the room number."Liora Archer bit her lip tightly, forcing innocent tears to fall from her eyes.Wearing a face of stubbornness and resilience, she resembled a delicate flower swaying in the storm, pitiable enough to make one hesitate to harm her."It's all a misunderstanding. My father is also a senator, and considering your father is a colleague, how could your Archer family not take advantage of my father's imprisonment?" Vincent Russo exuded a chilling aura, mocking, "Colleague? Afte
Liora Archer doesn't remember how long she was held captive by Vincent Russo.After her innocence was taken from her by Vincent Russo, she naively thought it would be over.But to my surprise, Vincent Russo, that scumbag, showed her a video.The two bodies in the picture are fiery and intertwined."You gently...""Ah... Don't stop..."Suddenly, the camera turns and the woman's face is revealed. It is Liora Archer!It's high-definition. You can see the pores on her face.Liora Archer nearly fainted.Vincent Russo, this pervert.Vincent Russo said with great pride:"Haha, if you make me comfortable, I can be kind enough to return the video to you, otherwise, I will post it on the Internet to provide welfare for the majority of Internet users.""Not only will you be disgraced, but your father, Senator Archer, will no longer be able to sit in his seat!"Liora Archer looked at the demon in disbelief, forgetting all about the snake, and shouted, "Vincent Russo, you scum! We Archers won't le
"Are you hungry again?" Ronan asked.Lyra looked at her slightly rounder figure, touched her stomach, and said, "It's your baby craving for food."Ronan's eyes flickered, "What do you want to eat? I'll have someone make it right away."Even if it's something not available in the imperial garden, as long as Ronan, the CEO, makes a call, someone will deliver it.Lyra blinked and said hesitantly, "I want to eat hot and sour noodles."Ronan refused without thinking, "That kind of thing is not nutritious."Lyra pouted and tugged at Ronan's sleeve, softening her voice, "I know a place where the hot and sour noodles are delicious. Let's go eat!"She rarely showed such a cute and pleading expression, pulling his sleeve like an adorable puppy.(Apollo, the fierce Tibetan mastiff sent away: Heh heh, are you sure?)Her puppy eyes almost turned into starry eyes, and Ronan melted at her persistence.He gently said, "Where is that place?"Lyra thought for a moment and said, "It's on a nearby street
She looked at the charming man in front of her, both shy and annoyed.This is on the street, for goodness sake!He has no shame, and neither does she!After the five-minute hot kiss, Lyra was left dizzy and dumbfounded by Ronan's kisses. Her face turned as red as an apple, completely forgot what she wanted to say.Ronan looked at her with deep eyes, gently tracing her reddened lips with his thumb."If you say something I don't want to hear again, I'll kiss you into silence!" he declared domineeringly.Back at the imperial garden, Lyra once again experienced the terror of a restrained man.Without a word, Ronan firmly pressed her down and kissed her thoroughly.When he felt himself losing control, he quickly wrapped Lyra in a blanket and held her tightly.After a few minutes, he pulled the blanket away and continued tormenting her.Lyra was speechless!The restrained CEO is too terrifying, how to break through this?The investigation at the resort hotel confirmed that the drugs were un
Liora Archer said charmingly, "Ronan, you know, I have always... always silently liked you. I never thought of destroying your family.""I'm not pretending to be righteous, but I don't want to become like some people, using tactics and schemes to bind you in marriage. I, Liora Archer, cannot do such things.""I'd rather watch you from afar, silently praying for your happiness. Even if you can't belong to me, I'm willing to wait for you..."Tears welled up in Liora Archer's eyes, refusing to fall.That helpless and strong appearance was truly pitiable.In her heart, Liora Archer secretly rejoiced.Ronan was known for his romantic and flirtatious nature. Now that she had confessed to him, he would surely take her to bed joyfully, right?She sneaked a glance at the sofa in the office.Fortunately, she came prepared today, wearing a set of pure and tempting white bra and thong inside.Humph, she didn't believe that with her perfect figure, Ronan wouldn't be tempted.Lyra was already pregn
“Mia, do you want to go camping with us?” Matthew looked at her expectantly.Lyra pursed her lips, unable to refuse him."Sure, I'll go with you," she agreed."Great, we can go camping!" Matthew cheered.Matthew was ecstatic, lying on Lyra's chest and refusing to get up.His little head kept rubbing against her, and his innocent and cute voice said, "Mia, I haven't taken a bath today..."Lyra's heart melted as she carried Matthew to the bathroom, helped him bathe, and even used cotton swabs and a nail file to clean his ears.Matthew comfortably lay on Lyra's lap, chubby hands poking at her soft chest, enjoying her help in cleaning his ears.Having a wife is nice!Unlike Dad, who doesn't have a wife and wears a constipated expression every day.Seeing his adorable face, Lyra couldn't help but kiss his cheek.The little guy blushed."Matthew, do you like your dad?" Lyra asked tentatively.She and Ronan were not possible anymore. In the future, she would have to fight for Matthew's custo
Today he has already taken her several times, and if he takes her again, he's afraid her body won't be able to handle it.Adjusting his breath, Ronan leaned against Lyra's ear, still panting slightly."The account for today's deeds is temporarily unpaid, but I'll collect it from you later."His cool lips left a mark, capturing her sweet scent, and his large hand uncontrollably climbed under the covers.This woman had a kind of irresistible charm.Even her breathing seemed to tempt him, turning him into a beast, always wanting to take action against her, completely out of control.Ronan had never experienced anything like this with any woman before.As the CEO of Zenith Ventures, Ronan was never short of women around him; to say beautiful women were abundant would be an understatement.Celebrities, aristocratic ladies, ladies from noble families...But none of them, like Lyra, could provoke his desires so easily.Five years ago, he knew that her body was made for him, perfectly fitting
He forcefully shut off the shower, while Lyra reached out to turn it back on.Ronan firmly grasped her hand, his anger on the brink of eruption, each word squeezed out through his teeth, "Lyra, you better not provoke me again!"Lyra slowly turned her head, glancing at Ronan.She stood there, motionless, like a statue, her eyes empty.After a while, Lyra blankly looked up and noticed that there was no more water coming out of the shower.She reached out, wanting to turn it back on.Ronan's voice was as cold as his expression, "If you don't stop, I'll immediately send the video to your lover!"At his words, Lyra's whole body tensed, halting her attempt to turn the switch."Come here!" Ronan ordered coldly.Lyra's body felt heavy as if it were filled with lead, she forced herself to walk towards Ronan.One step, two steps... she almost exhausted all her strength, finally reaching him."Think I'm dirty? Huh?" Ronan pinched her chin, his eyes wild.In the past five years, he hadn't touched
"If you don't comply..." Ronan's voice trailed off, deliberately leaving the threat unsaid, his intentions clear.Lyra's lips quivered fiercely in response.Ronan was satisfied with her reaction and spoke with a smirk, "It's no big deal to show him, anyway. You're my wife, we've rolled in the sheets countless times, he knows it all.""I promise you," Lyra gritted her teeth, "I promise you, but you can't let him see the video."Suddenly, Ronan felt as if something had lodged in his chest. Lyra cared about Torin so much!Despite having the upper hand, Ronan felt utterly shattered."Since you've promised, show me your sincerity, this time it's your initiative," Ronan's voice echoed seductively in her ears.Lyra's chest trembled as she looked at him incredulously.This beastly man, she wished she could just stab him to death!But she also knew she couldn't fight this man right now.He held her weakness in his hands.Lyra mockingly tugged at her lip, slowly moving her body.Her legs ached
She reached for the bedside table lamp, but her wrist was easily caught by him. He sneered, "Do you think I'll give you a chance to smash my head?" "Get out! Get out!" Lyra's eyes turned red as if she had gone mad. But her strength couldn't match Ronan's. He was like a spider in a web, trapping Lyra tightly, leaving her with no chance of escape. For the first time, Lyra felt the immense disparity in strength between a man and a woman. She was no match for Ronan at all. Gasping for air heavily, Lyra struggled to sit up again, but Ronan forcefully pressed her back down. Lyra's body was being torn apart incessantly, and she almost thought she would be tortured to death. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. After what seemed like an eternity, the brutal abuse finally ceased. Ronan lay atop her, his breath thick and heavy. Lyra lay there like a lifeless puppet, her eyes hollow with despair, tears lingering at the corners. Her body was covered in red marks, bearing the tr
!Lyra was stunned by his shameless words and promptly turned away, ignoring him. Ronan's cheek became thicker and thicker, and he seemed to have no shame. Even though Lyra ignored him, he didn't get angry, continuing to gaze at her. Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Lyra suddenly saw Matthew sitting up, rubbing his eyes, and jumping off the bed. Lyra quickly asked, "Matthew, what's wrong?" Still half-asleep, Matthew's tender voice murmured, "I need to pee." "I'll take you." Lyra, not knowing how to avoid Ronan, offered. With his eyes closed, Matthew replied with a sleepy "mm." Just as Lyra was about to take him to the bathroom, Ronan suddenly picked up their son, his deep, melodious voice saying, "I'll take him." As the father and son left, Lyra suddenly felt it was a perfect opportunity and quietly left the children's room, heading to her guest room. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lyra felt extremely nervous, feeling that Ronan had malicious intentions. But now that s
Lyra turned her head and found Matthew already running into room 2016, her brow furrowed, and she hurriedly followed.In the room, Matthew climbed onto the bed, continuously pushing Ronan with his hands, shouting anxiously, "Daddy! Daddy!"Ronan lay on the bed dressed neatly, luckily they arrived in time; it seemed that Cordelia Locke hadn't succeeded.Matthew's pushing and shouting didn't elicit any response from Ronan, and he became increasingly worried, his little face scrunching up, on the verge of tears, as he cried out, "Mommy, mommy! Has daddy gone away?"Matthew's crying tugged at Lyra's heartstrings, her own heart pounding hard in her chest.Had Ronan...?She forced herself to calm down, walking over to Ronan's side and placing her hand gently on his attractive, steady nose.Thankfully!He was still breathing!It seemed he was just knocked unconscious.Lyra quickly took out her phone and dialed 911, simultaneously calling the hotel's room service to send someone over immediat
Even though Ronan was dressed neatly and lay quietly like a wooden man without giving any response, resembling a sleeping beauty.Cordelia Locke still couldn't resist his charm and excitedly straddled him, involuntarily moaning."Mmm... Ronan... so good..."Suddenly, someone outside the door started frantically ringing the doorbell.Cordelia Locke, who was immersed in excitement, was interrupted by the sudden ringing, making her very unhappy.Originally, she didn't want to pay attention and pretended there was no one in the room.But then she considered that if it was a room service attendant who saw no one inside, they might just swipe their card to enter.So she decided to send away the person outside first, and then come back to enjoy Ronan's body.The person outside suddenly changed tactics and began pounding on the door with their hands.Startled by the unexpected noise, Cordelia Locke hugged the towel around her and cautiously walked to the door, peering outside through the peep
Finally, the car arrived at the Grandeur Gala Hub clubhouse after twenty minutes. Lyra and Matthew approached the entrance but were stopped by a doorman. "I'm sorry, this is an exclusive private club. Only members are allowed inside," the doorman said, blocking their way. Lyra hurriedly explained, "We're here to find someone." "Even if you're looking for someone, you can't come in. Why don't you call your friend and have them come out to meet you?" the doorman refused to let them in. "What's a member?" Matthew asked, his little brows furrowing. The doorman glanced at him. Although he was just a child, his demeanor and attire were extraordinary, so the doorman politely replied: "A member is a VIP member who needs to pay an annual fee of one million." Lyra gasped, calculating the balance in her bank account. But no matter how she calculated, it was not enough. She hesitated, remembering that Torin had given her a card before, but she had never used it. Should she take it out n
