"Hot, it’s so hot…“Why does it feel so bad? Ugh…”With her last strand of consciousness, Bianca slammed the elevator buttons. The doors finally opened later, and she managed to get inside.Thankfully, she was the only person in here!Bianca hid in the descending elevator, her face turning an unnatural shade of red. She could not stop the moans from leaking through her lips.The elevator slowly descended to the seventh floor and stopped there.Bianca saw a boy walk into the elevator. He looked like he was only eighteen or nineteen, and he was over 170 centimeters tall, casually dressed.He was probably still a college student.“A-Are you okay?” He immediately noticed that there was something wrong with Bianca. It gave him a shock, and he stammered out his question.“I’m… I’m fine.” Bianca frowned. “Don’t come close to me.”The feeling was just too hard to suppress. She felt as though she was floating in the sea, bobbing uncertainly on the waves. Right now, she desperately nee
Luke’s heart and body shuddered. A familiar sensation in his groin made all of his body rush toward his head, and his breathing gradually quickened.Her sweet beauty always managed to attract his eyes.“Ah!”The next moment, Bianca’s feet left the ground again. He suddenly picked her up.Carrying her to the Ferris wheel, Luke withstood the temptation of her small wandering hands and the feeling of her soft lips on his throat… She randomly kissed the skin on his collarbone over and over again.Bianca did not know who this man was. She had even forgotten who she was. Her body’s primal instincts were making her do this, because this was the only way to make her body feel better. Otherwise, that dry agony would torment her, making her wish for death.She was in so much pain.Please, somebody, save her.Her hands were seeking out what she liked, and then she easily pulled apart the third button on the man’s shirt…The top two buttons of Luke’s shirt had been undone to begin with, a
"You like it?” Luke asked in a low voice before picking her up from the bench in one go, his actions rough and hurried.She flew from the bench, her body crashing into a wall of flesh that then held her captive.It took her a while to realize that she had fallen into that man’s firm embrace.“I’ll make you like it even more!” With those words, Luke pressed her against the glass window in the cabin again. High up in the air, he kissed her tender and rosy lips.The soft and cool sensation was plastered against her skin.“Mm…” She felt him suck on her lips.Driven by his temptation, she reached out her arms to hug his sturdy waist…When he felt the woman in his arms reach closed toward him, he opened his thin lips and guided her along.Bianca’s fair little hands first held the man’s waist, then they climbed onto the man’s broad and strong shoulders. Her body reacted honestly; it was clear that she really liked this powerful male body.Her little tongue slipped into his overbearin
Bianca looked at Nina. Her voice was barely a whisper when she asked, showing just how terrified she was right now. “Did I… do anything irredeemable?“Also, did I encounter any men?”“I don’t know,” Nina said, conflicted. “I wasn’t there with you when you were drugged. The doctors only called me over after they got the effects under control.”Bianca caught the keywords.The doctors got the effect under control.That meant someone called the doctor for her.Bianca let out a breath, holding her head in her hands as she thought back carefully. After a long time, she said, “I remember there was a boy in the elevator. I think he said… he wanted to take me to the hospital?”“That should be it.”Nina locked down that answer. “I was worried someone took advantage of you, so I even called the number again, but the one who picked up was the doctor. She was a lady doctor, too!”Nina’s reassurance finally put Bianca’s heart at ease.“Do you have any water?”“Yeah!” Nina hurriedly grabbe
Although Bianca reacted instantly and turned around, putting her clothes on in a hurry, the man standing at the door still saw everything.“Why are you alone?” Luke’s deep voice was the first to break the silence in the room.Her lie had been called right to her face. Bianca stood on the spot stiffly.“What I meant was that someone would come by later, not that there’s someone with me now…”The man watched her as she panicked, trying to cover up her fib.Luke’s eyes looked around the room silently before he spoke up again. “The police contacted me. How do you feel right now? Is your body alright?”Charlotte was arrested, but she did not dare to approach her father with such a problem, so she gave the cops Luke’s name instead. That was why the police had contacted him.Bianca’s brain exploded.The man’s bright black eyes were looking right into hers.“My body is… fine…” Bianca was embarrassed to have her male superior find out that she had been drugged with an aphrodisiac of al
Just then.There were steps approaching the room from a distance.Next, they heard Jason Doyle’s voice as he asked formally, “Miss Rayne, may I know if the boss is here?”Bianca looked toward the door, her breathing ragged.“Dad?” That was Blanche’s voice.When he heard that Miss Bea was sick, the boy had wasted no time coming to visit her. He stood at the room door, desperate to go in, but Jason stopped him.“Why won’t you let me go in?”“Shh…” Jason put a finger to his lips, telling his young master to stay quiet.Jason stood two meters away, perfectly professional. He was worried that something awkward was going on inside, and as a subordinate, he did not want to see anything he should not.“Dad?” Blanche blinked and raised his little hand to knock the door.Just then, the door was opened from inside, and his father looked down at him with icy eyes.Dad was so mean to visit Miss Bea without calling him along! Blanche ignored his father and used all his strength to drag a
After a long time, until her legs were numb from crouching on the floor for so long, she finally heard Luke’s voice coming from the washroom. There was a post-release hoarseness in his voice.He said, “You can come in now.”Bianca bit her lip and swallowed her awkwardness, standing up to open the washroom door again.Luke looked at her, his expression complicated. Bianca met his gaze for a short second, but she could not stand his deep, dark eyes, so she had to turn and look away.Right here and now, Luke definitely looked impeccably dressed. He was his usual perfectly gentlemanly self; even his collar and sleeves were ridiculously neat.It was almost as though he had not been involved in any of the hanky-panky earlier, as though all of it was just her one-sided imagination.Bianca was about to go in, but then he blocked her way.The man’s tall and slender body was still emanating the smell of testosterone and masculine pheromones. It made her panic.“Please let me pass,” Bia
Blanche opened his mouth to say something, but then he looked around to give his tall father behind him a cautious look. After that, he turned back around and shook his head at Bianca. “No, we’re taking you to the department store.”“The department store? Why?”As soon as she said that, Bianca immediately remembered that there was no more mineral water in the fridge. The kid was probably worried that she did not have any water to drink when she felt thirsty.“We don’t need to go to the store. I’ll boil myself some water later.”What she really needed now was for the two of them to leave, ASAP.However, the boy shook his head adamantly. “Nuh-uh, I’m worried you won’t have anything to eat or drink…”Helpless, Bianca looked at Luke, signaling at him to help her. As his parent, she hoped that he would take the boy away.Instead, Luke patted his son’s head and said to her mildly, “Lanie is so worried that he might even insist on staying here with you tonight.”Bianca, “...”There w
“Mr. Mallory, won’t you feel guilty if something happens to Nina?” Sue did not understand why he refused to call the police.“It won’t happen.” Percy furrowed his brows as his mind raced to find a solution.Sue was even more confused. “Just because you say it won’t happen, does that mean it won’t? Yes, Madam Mallory is your mother, but Nina is also your wife. If your mother harms your wife, shouldn’t you call the police? Instead of doing that, you’re leaving her in this dangerous situation. I honestly feel sorry for Nina.”Sue had always been straightforward. She thought Percy would protect Nina for life, but seeing him defend Karen at the cost of his wife’s safety, she was deeply disappointed.She felt she was in no position to feel sorry for Nina, but she could not understand Percy’s actions.Percy furrowed his brows. Calling the police was not an option.The Mallory family could not afford this kind of turmoil.If Old Master Mallory found out that he handed his mother over to
Nina trembled when she was touched. Her whole body was shaking.Karen’s touch was icy cold, and when her hand fell on Nina’s face, it carried a chill.“Don’t hurt her!” Percy’s voice was hoarse, his anger barely concealed in his eyes.He was furious but kept reminding himself not to provoke Karen.“Hmph, look at how nervous you are.” Karen's patience wore thin. Without another word, she laid out her conditions. “If you want me to let her go, fine.”“What do you want me to do?” Percy knew the conditions she was about to propose would not be as simple as keeping her out of the psychiatric hospital.It could involve Pierre.Perhaps even the company.Even though Karen had spoken to him about the high hopes she had for him, Percy did not believe a word of it. To her, from beginning to end, the only person who mattered was Pierre.Percy was merely a tool to secure her position in the Mallory family.“See? You still care about this woman. You’ve disappointed me!” Karen glanced at Ni
“Mr. Mallory, I didn’t dare to go in. Nina and your mother are still inside.” After Sue realized that Nina might be in danger, she had been waiting outside, unwilling to leave.She had been planning to rush in with the other employees if she heard Nina scream.Percy's expression darkened. He did not blame Sue for the situation, so he did not say anything. Instead, he quickly walked to Nina’s office door and pushed it open.The sight before him sent a chill through his veins, as though his blood had turned to ice.“You're here?” Karen fixed her eerie gaze on the person who had opened the door. A strange, sinister smile curved at the corners of her lips. She stood behind Nina with a knife tightly gripped in her hand.The sharp blade was pressed against Nina’s neck, already leaving a faint red mark.Sue gasped at the sight and instantly lost her composure.Karen frowned in dissatisfaction, moving the knife slightly and muttering, “Why is there another woman here? Tell her to leave!
“'ll contact someone in A City to investigate,” said Gale.“Let Percy know while you're at it,” added Luke. “He needs to be aware of this.”“Got it.” Gale hurried off to handle the matter.…After taking Gale's call, Percy hung up and stared icily at the middle-aged man standing before him.Under Percy's chilling gaze, the man nervously dabbed at the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.“Mr. Mallory, my sincerest apologies…” The man, the director of the psychiatric hospital, had come to personally apologize to Percy today.Karen had escaped.Two days ago, Percy admitted Karen to the psychiatric hospital. After an evaluation, the doctors determined her condition warranted hospitalization, so she was admitted.Even though Karen was against it, given her mental state and with the consent of an immediate family member, the hospital was legally authorized to proceed.Percy had even informed the hospital to take special care of Karen. He had explicitly instructed them not to
When she opened her eyes again, the sky outside had already darkened slightly.Luca mumbled, feeling the warmth beside her. She instinctively curled closer. “What time is it?”“It's a little past five.” Luke gently rubbed her back, offering a quiet comfort to help her feel at ease.Since he could not be there beside her, he could only make these small gestures to bring her some peace of mind.“An entire afternoon just passed like that…” Luca was reluctant to leave at the moment. Her slender fingers lightly pressed against his chest.Luke took her hand in his, bringing it to his lips for a soft kiss, holding it as if it were something precious and tenderly stroking it.Luca's hands had once been delicate and smooth, but during their time in the small villa, they had become much rougher.“You've got calluses.” Luke felt sorry for her.Luca gently traced her finger over his lips, leaning in to plant a soft kiss on him. “It’s just from the needlework and the experiments I’ve been d
Luca walked over to another couch and sat down. “I think I’ll stay here. How about letting Luke come down so that we can all catch up? It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.”Gordan’s face fell. “Ms. Craw, are you doing this on purpose?”Luca pretended not to know anything. “Doing what on purpose?”Gordan quickly shook his head. “Nothing. Just go upstairs already. Brother Luke’s been waiting for you.”Luca had intended to tease Gordan a little longer, but after not seeing Luke for the past few days, she found herself missing him deeply. Standing up with a smile, she said, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Oh, by the way, Mr. Gale, could you help me pick up a few things? Someone over there asked me to get them, and I couldn’t refuse.”“Sure, no problem. What do you need?” Gale agreed immediately.After handing him the list, Luca turned and headed upstairs.Gale watched Luca leave from behind, nudging Gordan’s arm. “Let’s go. We should leave and give the boss and Ms. Cr
The security guard remained completely unfazed.This was because the village chief was his uncle, and in their tight-knit community, they always stuck together and never favored outsiders.With directions from the people inside the ancestral hall, Hera found the village chief.“You’re the village chief, right?” Hera looked at the man in his fifties in front of her and spoke with an arrogant tone, completely unbothered.“And you are?” The village chief, seeing her attitude, was puzzled. He had no idea whether she was an investor or someone looking to discuss a major partnership to bring development to their quiet village.“It doesn’t matter who I am. I see you have surveillance here, and I need to review your footage,” replied Hera.The village chief was even more confused. “Are you a police officer?”“No.” Hera frowned. She thought reviewing surveillance footage was no big deal. Why was this village chief being so difficult?The village chief gave her a look as if she were a fo
“Wait a little longer. By the way, what kind of ancestral hall is this?” asked Hera.“It's a local family's ancestral hall. I heard it's been designed by the owner of a large company, and now it's also one of the tourist attractions.” The taxi driver was not from around here, so he did not know all the details, but he knew it had become a popular spot. “Now, thanks to the reputation of that boss, many architects come here as one of their reference points.”Hera frowned deeper. What was Luca doing here?The driver suggested, “If you're interested in sightseeing, the attractions inside are pretty good. But for outsiders, they charge an entrance fee. Maintenance costs a lot of money, so they charge tourists from outside.”“I'm not here for sightseeing,” replied Hera, “Don't worry. I'll pay you for however long I stay here. You’ll get your money.”The driver heard that she was paying, and did not press her further and remained quiet.Hera stared at the entrance of the ancestral hall,
Hera let out a cold sneer, feeling that Gerald's apology was not sincere.Hera did not want to press the issue at the moment. She gave him a sharp look. “Come with me.”Gerald knew that Hera was up to something again. If it were a normal order, she would have just said it in the living room. Whenever she called him aside, it meant whatever she had to say could not be overheard by others.Reluctantly, Gerald followed her out.It was midday, and as soon as Hera stepped out of the living room, a wave of heat hit her face.The intense warmth made her feel uncomfortable.Hera got straight to the point, turning to Gerald. “What did Luca say to you just now?”“She just asked me to help keep an eye on the volunteer,” Gerald answered honestly. This was not something that needed to be kept secret.Hera frowned. “Is she going out”Gerald hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to say anything.“I’m talking to you, not the wall. Are you mute?” Hera threatened. “If you lie to me, I’ll te
