Luke walked toward the parking lot with Bianca in his arms. She lay there limply, wrapped up in Luke's windbreaker with only her head peeking out. Through the opening of the windbreaker, she could see Luke's divine facial features shrouded by an aura of hostility. It was colder than the piercing wind outside, and it made her teeth chatter. Bianca's face remained unnaturally red. She writhed uncomfortably in his arms. "Luke…" She sounded as though she was crying. She had pretended to be strong earlier, but the pretense was all but gone. Bianca did not know why she cried when she saw him, but she could not control her emotions. Her insides were burning, forming a stark contrast with the chilly weather outside. Luke's unpleasant expression made Bianca uneasy and aggrieved… He continued walking forward as he held her tightly, though he had never once lowered her head to look at her. Bianca could feel that his anger was mounting. They reached the car, and Jason carried her
Luke stepped out of the elevator and walked toward the extravagant suite. The retinal scanner identified Luke, and the custom-made intricate lock opened with a click. "Let me go, Luke…" Bianca's hoarse voice sounded seductive because of the drug's effects. She felt even worse than before, trying very hard to suppress the urge to pounce on him and forcing herself to remain sane. Luke's mouth leaned closer to Bianca's earlobe. His sinister smile grew wider. "Then you'll have to see if I'm willing to let you go." Luke carried Bianca's writhing body to a cavernous room. Countless small lights lit up automatically. They stretched from the wall up to the highest point of the dome. Soft silver light illuminated the room. What was most surprising was that the dome was made of glass. Through the thick glass panels, they could see the beautiful stars in the night sky. The moon was like a mirror, shining brightly in the night sky, adorned by innumerable stars of different sizes an
"Nggh… it hurts…" Bianca thought that she was going to be flayed by how forceful Luke's movements were. Her fair skin was turning pink. The man glared coldly at her. He wanted to remove all the traces of another man on her body! When Luke carried Bianca out of the bathtub, still choking on bathwater, her skin was like a cooked prawn. The man brought her in front of a floor-to-ceiling window. The suite was on the top floor of the hotel. Looking out of the window, Bianca could see the entire city. The city below was lustrous and dazzling, as though it was adorned by precious metals and gemstones. The scene looked like a dream. In front of the window was an exquisite recliner. Someone sitting there would be able to take in the view of the entire world outside the window. Bianca was vaguely aware of what he was doing. Her muddled brain seemed to have regained some consciousness, and she shook her head in shock. "Luke… no… not there…" Bianca was afraid that Luke would do
Bianca felt guilty when she thought about the two children. She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that they were safe. Fortunately, nothing happened to them. She would forever regret it if something did. "I promise that it won't happen again," Bianca said determinedly to Faye. Faye nodded, then left the room. In any case, she was quite satisfied with the young woman. Bianca was beautiful, had a gentle personality, and was caring and considerate. Not only did she have the boss's love, but she was also the birth mother of the two children. Together, they could form a happy family in which the two children could thrive. However, as a mother, she still had a lot to learn. After Faye left, Bianca opened the box. Inside it was a set of pure white Chanel clothes. The design was modern and elegant, and the tailoring was immaculate. Bianca had seen the clothes in one of the recent fashion magazines. The clothes cost one year's worth of her salary. She could not have a
Leia placed the flask of chicken soup on the table and called out gently, "Mr. Crawford." Her mother had said that the fastest way to a man's heart was through his stomach. Of course, Leia did not know how to fry an egg, let alone make chicken soup. However, Queenie, her adopted mother, was a good cook. Luke turned around. The female celebrity was dazzled by his impeccable facial features. Undeniably, Luke was a very handsome man. He was handsome not only because of his sculpted face but also because of his mature character. Luke might look young, but he carried the dominating and enigmatic deportment of a king. That must have been the culmination of many years of experience in the harsh battlefield of the business world. "Mr. Crawford, I'd like to discuss with you about our collaboration. Right, I've also brought some chicken soup for you. I hope you'll like it," Leia said. Luke frowned slightly. "Thank you, Ms. Norman. I'm sorry, I've already had breakfast, so you sho
Luke shot a glance at Bianca. She was impeccably dressed in a fitting set of women's clothes. Her slender and fair legs were exposed beneath the skirt. Her hair fell on her shoulders and back like a waterfall. Her face was delicate and clean, her eyes were like stars, and her lips were adorned by a faint coat of lipstick. The silk scarf gave her a unique charm, though he knew that she wore it to hide the marks on her neck. Her elegance was like a cherry tree in full bloom. Luke felt his lower abdomen pulsating enthusiastically when he was reminded of Bianca's exquisite performance the night before. However, his gaze turned cold, and he pressed his lips when he thought of the woman's silly actions. Bianca was fearful when she looked at him. She dared not breathe too loudly, in case she somehow angered him and he refused to save Nina. Bianca cleared her throat and placed the document on his table. "These are the documents you requested, Mr. Crawford." She felt bitterness in
When Jason stepped into the office, he saw that his boss was leaning against his chair. The man's tie was slightly undone. Jason was surprised to see that he seemed dejected, as though the world had abandoned him. Jason thought that his boss had overworked himself. After handling the incident in Western Europe, the boss immediately took a flight back to A City. Back at the company, he attended several meetings in which he had to make important decisions. Perhaps he had not slept well for a few days in a row; after all, he was a workaholic. However, Jason could not remember that his boss was ever so dejected. "Mr. Crawford…" Jason took out his notebook and prepared to report business updates to Luke. He instantly shut his mouth when he noticed that Luke's eyes were closed, perhaps resting. Jason looked at Luke's face carefully. His gaze was filled with admiration and respect. As CEO of T Corporation, Luke Crawford had always been resolute and assertive. Not only did he
Lacey wailed even louder after she heard her husband reprimand her. Eventually, she lifted her head and looked at Daniel. "Now you blame me for pampering the kid, but what have you done? All you know is make money. Sometimes you don't come home at night, and sometimes you fly out for business trips for extended periods. Don't you know your son's personality? Do you think that I alone can discipline him?" "I have to support the family. You don't have a job, so how am I supposed to pay the bills if I don't work hard?" Daniel said. He had toiled hard for the family over so many years, and now his wife was blaming her for not taking care of their son. That made him angry. As Daniel and Lacey argued, Xavier eventually came to. His head that was already throbbing hurt even more when he saw his parents almost getting physical with each other. "Alright, that's enough. Can't you just let me rest?" Xavier said with an annoyed expression. Ever since he was a child, his parents had n
