When Ann opened her eyes again, the sun was already high. Her head was throbbing like it was going to explode. She got up from the hotel bed and put away the blanket. What a surprise when she found herself completely naked, without any clothes!
Damn it! What happened last night?
The dress! Where were the clothes? Ann covered the front of her body with the blanket and fumbled for her clothes. She couldn't find her dress or pants. She didn't even know where her bra and panties were!
Frantically, Ann looked for a bathrobe in the wardrobe. Luckily the hotel room provided the bathrobe so she could roam around the hotel room freely. Ann pinched her temples, trying to remember what happened last night. But, unfortunately, her memory was a little blurry because she drank quite a lot of alcohol.
Ann's suitcase was still neatly locked and placed by the table. Ann intended to open the suitcase to retrieve her belongings, but she realized that it was still locked with an additional padlock manually. Therefore, she needed to find the key first, which she put in the purse.
Yes, that's right! Where's the purse? Ann suddenly turned pale and rushed to find her purse. She couldn't find it anywhere. Damn it! Did someone steal her purse? All the money, credit cards, ID cards, and luggage keys were there. How about this? What should her do?
Ann saw her cell phone plugged into a power outlet to charge the battery on the table. Oh, luckily the robber didn't take her cell phone. At least she could still do online transactions and asked for help. When Ann picked up her cell phone, a message was written on paper that was pressed under the phone.
There was a business card placed there with the handwritten “Call me!”
On the business card was written the person's name and title and his office address clearly printed. In addition, there was the person's cell phone number in handwriting. This was his cell phone number that his business partners didn't know.
Mr. J. Carter.
CEO Carter Corporation. CEO Carter Holding Group.
With a slight trembling and impatience, Ann pressed the phone screen and dialed the handwritten number.
[Hello...]
A man's voice sounded deep and charismatic. Ann's wild imagination immediately wandered to hear a voice so masculine and sexy.
[Hello. Is this Mr. J. Carter?]
[Yes, that's right. Who's this?]
[This is Ann. Ann Graham. I mean… Ann Davis. You told me to call this number.]
The man on the other end grinned happily. He already knew, the woman he met last night was Ann.
[Yes, Ann Davis. We met last night, but I'm only getting to know each other now. Nice to get a call from you.]
[Where's my purse? Did you steal my clothes too?]
[Your purse is safe with me. I have washed your clothes in the hotel laundry. They will deliver it to your room in a moment. I'll send a driver and a car to pick you up in thirty minutes. Get ready to have lunch together.]
Click. The phone connection was disconnected.
Ann got ready to take a shower to leave. She had no other choice but to obey the man's orders. Her purse was still in the man she met last night, and she had to retrieve it. The masculine scent of the man's body wafted in the bathroom. Maybe last night, the man used the shower, and the smell was still there.
Ann could imagine her hands touching the skin on the man's stomach. Ah, that must be fun! But, no, what did you imagine, Ann? Stop imagining nonsense.
According to the man's words, the hotel laundry clerk delivered Ann's clothes that had been washed clean and neatly folded. Ann put on her clothes and prepared to go down to the lobby. The hotel receptionist had called Ann to the room to tell her that her pick-up car was waiting.
A brand new black Maybach car picked up Ann at the hotel lobby. Ann got into the car, and the driver took her to a famous western-style restaurant that served the steak with the best wine.
The waiter escorted Ann to a special private room in the restaurant's interior, where the man was already waiting for Ann while playing with his cell phone with his fingers.
"J. Carter?" asked Ann.
"Hi, Ann. Please have a seat,” said J. Carter politely.
The waitress immediately prepared appetizers for the two of them, then left the room while closing the door.
Ann sat nervously. This man was really handsome. Ann's heart always pounded when she saw this man's face.
"Where's my purse?" asked Ann matter-of-factly.
"Don't worry, and I'll give it back to you after lunch. Let's enjoy the food leisurely. I want to get to know you better,” said J. Carter.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Carter," said Ann.
"Jace. Call me Jace, Ann. Or you can also call me J," said Jace Carter, smiling. His smile was so confident and charming.
"So, what happened last night? Can you explain what happened between us and why I woke up naked? Are we…” Ann asked, a little nervous and hesitant.
Jace Carter chuckled. He was amused to laugh at Ann's shyness with a flushed face. This woman had a charm that made Jace want to meet again and get to know her better.
“Last night, I took your clothes off and sent them to the hotel laundry together with my clothes. Before you faint, you vomit. Your clothes and mine are dirty, so I had to send them to the laundry last night. The housekeeping staff also cleaned up the vomit last night. After that, I went to shower, and after my clothes were dry, I left. And, yes, I brought your wallet because I wanted to get to know you better," said Jace Carter apologetically, although his expression was mischievous and unapologetic.
"Oh, so nothing happened," Ann said in an involuntarily regretful tone.
“Do you want something to happen between us, Ann?” Jace teased, enjoying Ann's blushing face.
“No, um… my purse. Can you return my purse now, please?” Ann asked, changing the subject.
"After lunch, Ann," Jace answered firmly.
"Okay," Ann said as she gorged herself on the mushroom cream of soup and appetizers. Her stomach was already hungry since earlier because she didn't have time to eat breakfast.
"By the way, thanks for saving me from last night's situation," Jace said.
"You are welcome. That woman, who is she to you?” asked Ann.
“She is the daughter of my business partner. So, of course, I couldn't refuse her rudely, but I was honestly annoyed by her attitude. Actually, I want to ask you a favor," Jace said again.
"Ask for what?" asked Ann.
The waiter came to serve the main meal.
“Can you pretend to be my lover? I will give you a place to stay at my house. We can get engaged and then get married on a year contract. You can also take revenge on your ex-husband. This is an offer that benefits both parties, isn't it?" Jace asked, grinning widely.
"How do you know? Are you investigating who I am?” asked Ann in a high-pitched voice.
“Yeah, I need to know who I'm dealing with. Ann Graham. You just divorced Hans Graham and moved out of his house. Your ex-husband is gay, and he hid this fact from you. However, recently you caught him cheating behind your back. Is it true?" Jace asked with a big grin.
“Why do you know such details?” Ann asked with suppressed anger.
"Relax, Ann. I don't want to insult or demean you. So instead, I will help you. But, of course, you have to cooperate with me. Is it sound good to you? Deal?” asked Jace Carter.
"What's in it for you?" asked Ann suspiciously.
“You can help me get rid of Merry Smith. I can help you get your revenge on Hans Graham. By the way, one of your husband's lovers, Franz Smith, is Merry Smith's older brother," said Jace Carter with a smirk.
What? Merry was Franz Smith's younger sister?
“Okay, deal,” Ann replied without hesitation. She shook Jace's hand tightly.
"Okay, this afternoon, my driver will pick you up at the hotel to transfer you to my house," Jace said.
“Alright, I still have time to enjoy the hotel facilities and get ready. Please give me back my purse now. I need to pay the hotel bill,” Ann said.
"No need. I already paid your hotel bill with my credit card. So please use the hotel facilities to your heart's content. I'll give you your purse when we meet again at my house," Jace said, grinning happily.
"Don't you believe me?" Ann asked, squinting her eyes.
“I'm just being a little careful, Ann. Oh yeah, one more. We have to look like lovers in public. I want Merry to be sure that we are an inseparable couple. You have to be the perfect girlfriend for J. Carter," said Jace.
"Oh, of course. I agree to your terms," Ann replied quickly.
"Then how about we practice a little?" he asked.
"Practice how?" asked Ann.
"Like this," said Jace. He rose from his seat and walked over to Ann.
Jace pulled Ann's waist and pressed Ann's body against his own. A dangerously masculine scent wafted and aroused Ann. Jace licked Ann's lips passionately. He slid his tongue into Ann's mouth, making Ann forget her surroundings and not want to let go of the man again.
“Aaah… Jace…” Ann sighed with pleasure. She let Jace's hand touch her body until she shivered with passion.
Ann was still thinking about Jace's passionate kiss. She could still feel the sensation of Jace's tongue dancing skillfully in her mouth until that moment. Ann wanted it again and again. Ann wanted more than just kissing. Ann wanted him to touch every part of her body. Jace's scent was seductive. Control yourself, Ann! But, Ann wanted him desperately! Urgh! It’s so frustrating! During her marriage, Hans Graham very rarely touched her. Even if Hans touched it, Ann didn't enjoy it at all. In fact, she tended to feel cold and pain. Hans had never treated Ann gently, let alone served her until she was at the peak of her pleasure. Hans only cared about himself. Jace was different. Jace made Ann's feelings high, even with just his seductive smile. There was a strange feeling in Ann's chest that she never felt before. It was as if there were thousands of butterflies flapping their wings in Ann's stomach every time she saw Jace's smile. After all, they had just met! Ann covered her face wit
Oh, gosh! What had she done? This man was so hot that Ann could hardly contain herself. J. Carter's tactile sensation was completely different from that of Hans Graham's. This man really got Ann infatuated and wanted him in frustration. The sensation of his touch really excited Ann.What a shame! Annoying guest! Who did come and interrupt Ann's intimacy with J. Carter? Ann slapped her cheeks repeatedly. Wake up, Ann! Act like a lady of honor.Ann rushed to her room and went to take a shower in the bathroom provided in her room. The hot shower made Ann feel relaxed. She wet her hair and lingered in the bathroom for a while.Remembering the sensation of J. Carter's touch being interrupted by the sound of the bell made Ann imagine in her own sexual fantasy. She touched the top of her breasts while imagining J. Carter sucking and caressing her sensitive area with his tongue.Ann felt the sensitive area between her thighs with her fingers. She played it repeat
Ann crossed her arms in front of her breast with narrowed eyes. The two men named J. Carter looked at her with charming smiles. Their attitude was very relaxed, and they looked very sexy."Are you guys tricking me?" Ann asked, narrowing her eyes warily, trying to look serious."No, honey. You are the one who doesn't ask and sign right away before reading the details. I warned you, honey," Jace said with a smile."Relax, Ann. We don't mean any harm. On the contrary, this agreement benefits both parties," said Jake."You owe me a detailed explanation. I may be a little impulsive, but it's still not too late if I ask now, right?" asked Ann with pursed lips."Sure, you can ask anything," Jake replied softly.Jake sat next to Ann, then stroked Ann's thighs gently, making Ann feel more relaxed and wanting to touch Jake's thighs in return. However, Ann tried to restrain herself, holding her hand tightly to not stroke Jake's voluptuous muscular thig
The man's hands hugged Ann from behind. His breath blew right into Ann's ear, making Ann tense and excited at the same time. The man's fingers slipped under Ann's tank top and stroked the tops of her breasts until Ann whimpered with excitement. "Aaah..." "I told you not to make a sound, or I'll increase your punishment," the man whispered in a husky voice. The man's hand, still free, slipped into Ann's panties, then his fingers fiddled under it, causing Ann to moan from the excitement that rose. “Aaah… stop…” Ann sighed. "Your expression seems to be asking me to continue," the man said in a low tone. His tongue licked Ann's earlobe and caused a tingling sensation that made Ann's feelings soar. Ann wanted more. However, Ann's consciousness reminded her that she didn't know this man, not even his face. “Please… Aaah… who are you….” sighed Ann trying not to be carried away by her passionate sex desire. “I should be the one asking you. What are you doing at someone else's house? Wh
The cherries in Ann's mouth tasted sweet."Jake, you naughty," Ann whispered, seduced by the cherries in her mouth.“Shh… just enjoy the cherries, Ann,” Jake replied in a low, almost whispering voice.While Jake's tongue roamed wildly in Ann's mouth, Jake's hand went inside her tank top and stroked the nipples of Ann's breasts. Ann's body curved like a bow in response to Jake's touch."Jake, there's Jax and Jace in the house. They might hear and come back here,” sighed Ann, a little worried."Take it easy. They may have been in a serious conversation for quite some time. Don't make any noise that catches their ear, Ann," Jake whispered passionately.“Jake… but…” Ann protested, but Jake ignored her.“Shh… just relax, Ann. I want you… calm down… don't mind them… focus on me….” Jake whispered, trying to convince Ann.“If they co
Ann fell fast asleep after breakfast. When she woke up, it was already a little late. After bathing, Ann went around and found the big house was a little bit empty. J. Carter was nowhere to be seen. Ann sighed and plopped down on the sofa in the spacious living room. The last few days, her life had turned upside down. Making love over breakfast with Jake was the best thing Ann had felt in the past few days. Her life had been bland and flat all this time, but now Ann felt truly alive. That's right, and Ann had to reorganize her life. After divorcing Hans, she did not own much property and assets. The Grahams had bought her father's distribution company to pay off debts. Unfortunately, Ann's father's house caught fire and was destroyed. Her father had died from serious burns. And before he died, he had been in a coma for some time. Fortunately, the Grahams were willing to take on the business debt and pay for his father's hospital treatment on the condition of transferring ownership of
Jax was silent at Ann's words. He realized the tension Ann felt when she was with him. Jax was used to being cold and wary. He suspected everything. This had indeed become a habit he had been doing for years regarding his way of life. But he had to be gentle with this woman. After all, this woman was the child of his past life savior. Jax took a deep breath as he continued to watch the road behind the steering wheel."Listen to me, Ann. I'm sorry I was rude to you yesterday. I haven't grasped the situation and thought you were an intruder. I'm sorry, okay?" Jax said, glancing at Ann and smiling apologetically.Jax looked more lenient and genuinely sorry. Ann smiled and nodded. She was willing to forgive Jax for last night's misunderstanding."Okay, I forgive you," replied Ann."Are we cool?" asked Jax."Yes, we are cool," replied Ann with a sweet smile."So you're Nick Davis' daughter?" Jax asked."Yeah, I'm Nick Davis' daughter. Do y
"Jax..." Ann sighed softly."You look beautiful, Ann," Jax whispered in a husky voice.Jax pushed his seat back as far as possible to create space between the driver's seat and the steering wheel. He took off his polo shirt and revealed his muscular chest and sexy six-pack abs."Come here, Ann," Jax pleaded as he helped Ann onto his lap.Ann complied and climbed into Jax's lap. The man stripped Ann's clothes and bra, so she had nothing on her upper body. Jax touched the top of Ann's breasts gently. He sucked her breasts like a vacuum cleaner, excite Ann in an instant just by sticking his tongue there.“Jax… Jax…” Ann sighed, enjoying Jax's touch.Jax's hand moved to strip Ann's panties, leaving her naked."Jax, someone's passing by," Ann whispered."Leave it alone, honey. They can't see. My windshield is thick enough," Jax whispered as he unzipped his jeans and pulled out his joystick, which was alread
This morning Ann woke up earlier than usual. They have returned home. Ann was in the warm embrace of the three husbands she loved. They were still sleeping snoring. Ann moved to the edge of the bed. She intended to go downstairs and take a walk in the garden to breathe in the morning air. However, a strong arm wrapped around her waist from behind and pulled her back into the blanket. Ann's bare back touched the warm, stocky chest of one of her husbands."Good morning, love," Jace whispered in Ann's ear."Good morning, Jace," Ann replied with a happy smile.Jace rubbed Ann's beautiful, firm ass with his hardened cock. They used to sleep naked under the blankets."Jace, it's still early. Jake and Jax are still sleeping," whispered Ann starting to feel excited to receive Jace's touch."Precisely. Because they are still sleeping, I want to be alone with you, dear. Let's do it. Don't let them wake up," Jace pleaded in an alluring husky voice in Ann's ea
The cruise ship sailed quite far into the middle of the ocean. The next day they would arrive at the first stop. The ship would dock, and the passengers would descend ashore to have fun for two days and one night in a tourist destination city.It was already midnight. Ann walked to the top of the ship's deck alone in light clothes. She wanted to enjoy the sea breeze at night alone. The view of the ocean at night was so beautiful. Ann could see the moon and stars twinkling clearly in the night sky. The weather that night was very clear.Inside the ship, several couples were busy dancing in the discotheque. Entertainment on this cruise ship did last for twenty-four hours non-stop. So the frenetic sound of the soft dance music sounded along with the pounding that shook the floor.Ann stepped into the bow of the ship. She stood at the end of the bow while gazing out into the vast ocean. The ship's lights gave her sufficient light. Ann took a deep breath of air while
Ann looked nervously at Jax and Jace."Punish me?" asked Ann.Ann looked nervously at Jace and Jax. She was at a loss for words to defend herself. Meanwhile, Jake was still hugging her casually."Yeah, we have to punish you for making us jealous," Jace said."But I'm not cheating," Ann said pitifully."Who said you cheated on us?" Jax asked, confused."What?" Ann asked, no less confused."I don't like it because you two have fun alone without asking us," Jace said."You should have done it with us too," Jax said."You're not accusing me of cheating?" Ann asked, confused."No, it's Jake. We recognized him right away," Jace chuckled.Jake grinned widely. He secretly enjoyed Ann's restlessness. However, he knew that he had stolen the opportunity to make out alone with Ann, without taking his two siblings."They're just teasing you, baby," Jake said, kissing Ann's cheek."What? You guys are so bad
Ann stepped up onto the cruise ship's deck. The officer had just brought her belongings to the luxury cabin she had rented. This was the dream cruise ship that Ann was eager to try for honey moon. However, because this cruise ship was open to the public, many people also boarded the cruise ship. J. Carter was too well known, so Jax, Jake, and Jace decided to disguise their faces. Meanwhile, Ann's face was not well known to the public so that she could relax with her natural face."This is so much fun! I feel like I'm a secret agent on a special mission," Ann giggled. She purposely dyed her burgundy red hair black for a disguise.Jake, Jace, and Jax looked at each other with meaningful smiles. They obeyed Ann's long-held wish. The cruise ship was vast. Inside there were various entertainment venues, and the rooms were spacious like hotel rooms."I went around first. I can do it myself," Ann exclaimed enthusiastically. She walked around the cruise facility happily
The wedding ceremony was held behind closed doors. No journalists were allowed to cover the event. Dave Carter's assistant helped provide photos and articles for publication while keeping the existence of three of J. Carter as secret.The world was not yet time to know the whereabouts of the triplets. Later, when the Carter family had become the strongest in the business world and the underworld, they would announce it to the world. Dave Carter had been cautious since the kidnappings in the past. So many people wanted to seize his property and kill his heir.Ann Carter, the little girl who was in Jake's arms twenty-three years ago, at that moment, became a beloved legal wife for his three sons.Dave Carter still remembered what happened in the police station back then.When Dave Carter picked up his three children together with his elite bodyguards, he saw his children laughing happily with a little girl. It seemed that the three children had forgotten th
Ann bought a pretty big bouquet. That day he came to his father's grave with Jax, Jace, and Jake. Today the Carter rent the whole cemetery exclusively for Ann's visit, so no one else was there but the four of them. The bodyguards strictly guarded the surroundings of the cemetery and did not let anyone else in.Jax and Jake used disguises so that their faces didn't look identical as Jace's triplets. These were the game rules that they had set themselves when they had to go out together. Each of them carried a bouquet of colorful flowers.Ann placed the bouquet in front of the grave of her father, Nick Davis."Those criminals have confessed what they did, Dad. They get the punishment commensurate with their actions. Now Daddy can rest in peace. From now on, I will live happily. Here are Jax, Jace, and Jake, whom Dad saved twenty-three years ago. Then Dad…" said Ann, unable to continue. Her tears broke, and she wept bitterly.Jake hugged Ann's body ge
When Patrick Smith regained consciousness, he was in the hospital with his legs cuffed to the medical bed. The nurse called a man to check on him. The officer was showing his police badge and arrest warrant to Patrick Smith. "Patrick Smith, you are arrested for the murder of Nick Davis and possession of an illegal drug plantations. You have the right to remain silent and be accompanied by a lawyer. The evidence and the recording of your confession are already with the police," said the man. Patrick Smith sighed in disappointment and despair. J. Carter did not let him escape and live free, even though he spared Patrick's life. Patrick stared at the cop without a fight. He knew he couldn't escape. "Where are my children Franz and Merry?" Patrick asked the cop. "Franz has been arrested for the murder of Nick Davis and possession of an illegal drug plantations. Drugs were also found in his blood and urine. He is now in custody at the police station," the
Trembling, Patrick Smith shouted. "Where is this? Where exactly is this!" cried Patrick Smith hysterically with a pale face. In front of Patrick was a thick, transparent glass wall. Across the glass, a vast ocean stretched out without limits. Thick transparent glass covered two steel-framed cages suspended by an extensive chain. Each glass cage contained one prisoner. One male prisoner. Franz Smith. One female prisoner. Merry Smith. Both of them were covered in blood all over their bodies. The floor of the cage was muddy with pools of blood. "What did you guys do to them?" cried Patrick Smith, his face pale and eyes wide with fear. Merry screamed hysterically as she wept. She pounded on the glass wall with her tiny hands. Meanwhile, Franz was fumbling through the glass walls to find a way to survive. "Is that their blood? Did you hurt them?" cried Patrick Smith frantically. "No, that's not their blood," said a m
Patrick Smith waited anxiously at his house. After returning from the empty warehouse where he had kept Ann Carter, his heart was not at ease. Franz Smith and Hans Graham had left hours ago for a hostage swap. That bitch should just be killed. Ann Carter looked weak and helpless, but there was something wrong with the look in her eyes. The woman was not as fragile as she seemed. There was something she was hiding, and it made Patrick Smith felt uncomfortable. The woman had something important that Patrick Smith didn't know. Franz was an idiot! Patrick grumbled in his mind. Franz shouldn't have listened to his boyfriend, Hans Graham's opinion. A soft man like Hans was not fit to be in the field. That woman should have been killed a long time ago. Ann Carter! His instincts told him that she was the key to defeating J. Carter! There had been no contact from Franz Smith yet. They should have arrived at the scene, and the hostage exchange was over. What took them so long
