Caught in the Act. 

“Why don’t you just break up with her?” The woman asked in a seductive voice. She was completely naked and riding a naked man.  

“Please, just stop mentioning her name while we are fucking” The man was so lost in pleasure, he did not need any distractions. 

The man was so excited, he squeezed the woman’s breast making her moan in pleasure, he was in a world filled with delight and extreme pleasure at the moment. 

The woman seemed dissatisfied as she didn’t get the answer she needed from the man. “No way, I wonder why you are still hooked on her? She’s just an adoptive daughter, Even the maids hold an important role in our house, what’s so good about her?” 

The man didn’t say anything. He gripped the woman’s waist and thrust harder, which made her scream and moan his name. 

Mia Thompson stood in front of the door listening to everything inside the room. Her tired eyes turned cold as she listened to the conversions. 

She had just returned from the orphanage home, where she was adopted as a child. Ever since she had a terrible dream of her real parents, she swore to look for them. She had spent a lot of money and Time looking for her parents and now she was very exhausted. 

To make the situation worse, her younger sister was hooking up with her boyfriend, Mia felt her life was falling apart. 

“Did you not hear me? You have to choose between me or her tonight, the choice is yours.” Eva Thompson pounded on Mark Lin's  chest.  

Mia kicked the door open and glared at the couple “let me spare you the trouble, he’s just a man so you can have him, if you want.” 

Although Mia sounded nonchalant, her heart broke to watch her boyfriend cheat on her with her sister.  

Mark was Mia's high school classmate. They started dating during college. He was a handsome man from a wealthy family. 

He had confessed to her during first year in college. 

It was on a playground of their college, many people were around and almost all the students witnessed the romantic scene. The crowd cheered, and Mia agreed to be his girlfriend. 

The pain of betrayal hurt her so much. Looking at the two people in front of her, Mia clenched her fists, her nails sinking into her flesh. 

Mark hurridenly pushed Eva away, and hurriedly wore his pants, and got out of bed.  

Eva almost fell down, Mia’s words ignited her anger. 

She had to put a lot of effort hooking up with the wealthy,handsome man like mark. 

Mia had won his heart without doing anything, which provoked her even more. 

After all Mia was just an adoptive daughter. 

“What the hell are you saying? You sound like you’ve dumped Mark, how dare you? Who do you think you are? It’s Mark who dumped you bitch!” Eva sneered as she pulled the duvet closer to her body. Then she looked at Mark and asked, “ Mark, what did you just tell me? Tell that to Mia!” 

Mark had slept with Eva purely out of impulse. The woman had seduced him, and he lost control of himself. 

He kneeled down and grabbed Mia’s  wrists, “ Mia please forgive me, I didn’t know what I was thinking.” 

Although tears filled her eyes, Mia looked at him with disgust. Once Mia set her mind on something, no one could change it. 

She withdrew her hand from Mark's hold. 

“I’m sorry Mark, I don’t want this relationship anymore, especially one that has been tainted with Eva, you two are a perfect match, so let’s break up.” 

Eva was taken aback, Mark was on the verge of breaking down, but there was not a trace of sadness on Mia’s face.  Anger surged through her veins because she didn’t achieve what she had wanted. 

Mia didn’t have the energy to communicate with them any longer. Eva has always been competitive with her ever since they were kids and she enjoyed taking away whatever belonged to Mia. 

Mia was used to it, she was only worried about finding her biological parents, and now she had to hire a professional investigator to do the job for her, which requires a lot of money.  

Just as she was about to leave, she heard the clacking footsteps from the corridors. 

“It’s late at night, what’s with the noise?” 

Mia’s adopted parents, Frank Thompson and Lydia Thompson, rushed over after hearing the commotion. 

Frank walked into the room first. His eyes widened in horror when he saw his daughter sitting on the bed wearing nothing except for the duvet wrapped around her body. “ What The hell are you doing? You are going to get married soon, what are you doing with another man?” He bellowed. 

The Edward’s family and the Thompson family had an agreement to get their kids married when they grew up. Her fiance was an illegitimate son, and the Edward Family had driven him out of the house a very long time ago. He was poor and didn’t have a decent job. He was just an idler who wasted his time doing nothing. Eva did not want to marry him. 

She felt she deserves someone better. 

“I’m pregnant,” Eva said, pointing at Mark.  

“I’m pregnant with his child, so I can’t marry anyone else, you better cancel the wedding” 

Mark was dumbfounded, how could she be pregnant? He only slept with her thrice. 

“What nonsense, you must marry into the Edward Family!” Frank was fuming with rage. He wanted to slap Eva for acting so stupid.  

After all, the wedding was a matter of his prestige. What could he tell the Edward’s Family if they asked for the reason for calling off the wedding. 

Lydia protectively stood in front of her daughter. She was very protective of Eva and seldom scolded her. Her husband was seething mad, and she couldn’t watch him shout at Eva. 

“Frank, why are you mad at Eva?” Lydia cried out “Mia is also a daughter of the Thompson family. She can also marry into the Edward’s family” 

Frank and Lydia didn’t have any children in their first few years of marriage. Due to the pressure of  the Elders in the Thompson family they had to adopt Mia, years later Lydia finally got pregnant and gave birth to Eva.  

The whole thing only made her hate Mia even more. Mia's existence was proof of her infidelity. The mere sight of the adopted daughter irked Lydia. 

After giving birth to her daughter, Lydia became partial towards her daughters and despised Mia. 

Later as time went by Mia grew up to be a better woman than her daughter in every aspect. That seemed to intensify her hatred for Mia even more.  

Lydia’s words enraged Mia, “ you had agreed to get Eva Married into the Edward’s family not me,” she roared “why are you planning to get me married just because your sweet daughter has been banging someone.” 

“We have raised you all these years. It is time for you to repay us back our kindness,” Lydia said in a low voice, her eyes twinkling with cunningness. “ don’t you want to find your parents? I will pay the private investigator as long as you marry into Edward's family.” 

A satisfied smile spread across Lydia’s face, she felt Mia and the illegitimate child of the Edward Family was a perfect Match.  

Mia gritted her teeth as Lydia’s words infuriated her. However the dream she had flashed across her eyes in her mind, she needed to find her family urgently. 

She had just graduated and she could not afford to pay the private investigator. 

Although Frank and Lydia adopted Mia they never really cared about her or showed her any affection. 

Noticing her hesitation, Lydia walked closer to Mia, “ you will have to get married in the future, so just think about it and help us out by marrying the son of the Edward family, we will give you the money as soon as you are married.” 

Tears finally streamed down her cheeks and she lowered her head and replied “ok I will Marry him.”

    “Okay, I will Marry him.”Lydia was extremely happy, when those words slipped through Mia’s lips, she never wanted her daughter to marry the illegitimate son of the Edward’s Family, but her Husband was so hell bent on fulfilling his promise to Edward family because he had his so-called prestige to keep. And now that her daughter was so smart to come up with such a brilliant idea, she felt so satisfied. She didn’t mind her daughter getting pregnant for Mark, he was the eldest son of the Grey family which made him the heir to the Family Company, Her daughter will not suffer instead she would have a really bright future.Instead of her daughter marrying that broke and jobless man, she preferred that her daughter gets pregnant for Greg. She wanted so much for her daughter and this marriage had been the biggest obstacle to her daughter’s future. Now that the obstacles were out of the picture, She felt so glad and happy that Mia had agreed to Marry the Illegitimate son of the Edward fa

    All eyes were on him, he seemed to exude an effortless charm. Eva’s eyes lit up, she guessed the handsome man, she guessed the handsome man would be somehow related to Darren. The Edward’s family were one of the most powerful families in the city. After all Darren was an illegitimate son. Eva felt that Darren would never be able to meet up with the nobles of the Edward’s family. The man before her looked so charming and regal so she thought he most certainly had a connection to the Edward’s family, he might even be the legal heir of the family. She totally forgot about the man she came to the wedding with, immediately she sets her eyes on Darren. His good looks and charms both excited her and surprised her. She thought Mark was a handsome man but compared with the man in front of her, Mark undeniably became the button of the barrel type. Eva walked forward and greeted the man “ Are you Darren’s brother or relative?” Merely looking him in the eyes, made her blush. She felt, if s

    Seeing the frown on Mia’s face, Darren followed her gaze and saw his watch. Moments later he realised what she was thinking. “ this is a fake, I got it from a friend” he whispered beside her ears “but I usually wear it to look cool , I didn’t expect you would notice it”Darren removed the watch and put it inside his pocket. “It looks real tho” Mia smiled and stepped back covering her flaming ears. Darren was leaning closer and she could feel his breath blowing in her ear as he spoke. As Mia thought about it she realised it’s normal for Darren to have a street friend who sells fake things. She breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment Mia had freaked out, thinking Darren had done something illegal to make money. She knew nothing about the man she was getting married to, except he was a poor man who was jobless. Darren knitted his brows. He had heard the daughter of the Thompson family had several boyfriends and hung out with different men all the time. The girl before him shyness s

    “You better take your bath first, I can wait” Mia subconsciously took some steps back as if trying to protect herself from an enemy. She looked like a trapped little bird, struggling hard to hide her panic. Darren stood upright and looked at Janet She looked like a deer caught in a headlight. Darren looked at her and chuckled “don’t be a nervous kitten, I won’t eat you also I need to discuss something with you.” Mia crossed her hands over her chest and hesitantly walked over to him, she didn’t want to be associated with this man in any way. Everything was happening too fast, she was married to a man she just met at the wedding. She wondered what would be of her now that she was married? she didn’t know anything about marriage, she never had a Mother or Father that would teach her those aspects. These were the reasons she needed to find her family, she always wanted a parental relationship but she got none.She was determined to find her parents and she always prayed deep down th

    Mia was startled, “if I’m not Eva Thompson who else can I be? It’s such a lame question” she said jokingly Mia had married Darren as Eva Thompson, if she messed up the plan Lydia would not give her the money she needed to pay the private investigator who would help her look for her parents. So she had to pretend to be her little sister Eva, once she got the money from the Thompson she would still keep her end of the deal because on No situation could Darren ever find out she’s not Eva but the adoptive daughter. Darren still had a frown placed on his face. The situation looked confusing. He wondered if Mia could be pretending to be nice at first and later show her true colours, but he also knew when a person was pretending to be nice and he most definitely knew Mia was not pretending but he knew something was not right here also. “It was a casual question, just forget about it.” Darren picked up his suit jacket and stepped back “I have finished saying what I want to say. Do you have

    It was rare for Mia to have a pleasant dream lately. In this particular one, she found her parents, though she could not see the faces clearly but she had this family feeling with them. They went home together and life seemed all bright and peaceful. However, the blaring sound of the ringtone interrupted her dream. Mia sat up on the bed and stared at the strange environment in a daze. It took a while for her to finally remember she was married, she couldn’t adapt to the change yet. As soon as she opened the door of the bedroom, her gaze fell on Darren curling up on the sofa, hugging a pillow. The sofa was too small for his huge body. His legs were dangling out, and a grey blanket was wrapped around him. The sunlight cast a glow on his flawless features, making him look like a Greek God. Mia was glad to know that Darren didn’t make a move on her last night, so she relaxed her guard around him. Mia smiled to herself and walked into the kitchen. There were eggs, bacon and bread in t

    The taxi stopped outside the Thompson family’s villa. Mia hurried out and rang the doorbell. Now that she was married to Darren as promised, she decided to ask her adoptive parents for the money they had promised her, After all she did all this so she could find her real parents. Lydia was sitting in the parlour sipping a glass of juice. She looked up at Mia and smiled faintly, “how are you getting along with Darren? You just got married yesterday. So what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at your new house? Or hold up, Did something happen? Tell me now!” She didn’t utter the word of money and acted like they didn’t talk about money, which pissed Mia off. Mia looked at her sternly, “I’m here to get the money, that you promised me that you would give me the money as soon as I marry Darren.” Lydia placed the glass of juice on the table. She didn’t plan on giving Mia the money. It was a tactic to persuade Mia. Mia and Darren are married now. Mia wouldn’t even be Anne to do anyt

    “Something came up, that’s why I’m late,” Darren stood outside the door exuding a powerful aura, making it impossible for Mia to step forward. “Why are you here? I want to go back so just get out of my way.” Mia said broken with anger and sadness. Seeing her red teary eyes, Darren looked at everyone in the living room. Then he gently grasped her wrist. “There’s no hurry.” He took Mia back into the living room. James put the bags on the table and opened them one after the other. After displaying everything on the table, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and retreated behind Darren. James was tired of exerting all his physical strength to do his job. Mia’s eyes widened in shock when she looked at all the expensive gifts. Expensive jewelry, watch,wine and other rare antiques dazzled under the light’s. She wondered if these gifts were also knock offs, like Darren’s expensive watch and suit he had gotten from his friend. Although the Thompson family wasn’t the most powerful fam

    The following Monday, Mia showed up at the office with dark circles around her eyes. “Did you spend the weekend in prison? You look terrible!” Brenda commented as she pulled out her chair and sat down, munching on a hot dog. “The cooperation project I am hardling is moving so fast, I needed to work overtime for two consecutive days,” Mia drawled and yawned. She was so tired that she felt she would doze off the next second. “Were you able to finish?” Leaning on her table, Mia nodded weakly. “It was finished this morning.” As the two of them chatted idly, Tiffany’s voice rang out from behind them. “Thompson, please see me in my office.” In a daze, Mia raised her head. Brenda shot her a sympathetic look then stuck out her tongue like a little child. “Sounds like you will need to review your drawings, good luck!” Barely holding herself together, Mia trudges into Tiffany’s office. “You look exhausted. I never thought anyone here would work harder than me” Tiffany sipped her coffee.

    In a daze, Mia trudged back to her desk. “Brenda, Mr. Micheal wouldn’t make a huge fuss out of us employees, would he?” Mia whispered to her colleague, her voice riddled with anxiety. “Nahhh, I don’t think so. After all a boss should be be open minded. But maybe his capable of making mountains out of molehills. Who knows I can’t read minds” Brenda’s cryptic answers only served to make Mia even more uneasy. What if she had offended Micheal? The next day, when Mia rushed to work, she ran into Micheal at the gate of the company. Eyes darting around nervously, she managed to pluck up the courage to approach him anf apologize “Mr Micheal, excuse me. About what happened yesterday……” But before she could finish her sentence, when Micheal saw her approaching, he immediately turned around and rushed back inside the car. He shouted at the driver anxiously, “go get me out of here, hurry!” Mia’s steps faltered as she watched the car zoom off. She was speechless.When she sat down at her d

    “What?” Micheal was scared out of his wits. His hands trembled and the teacup fell to the floor. He sprang up from the sofa and peeked out of the room to see if Darren was outside. Then, he looked at Mia and shook his head vehemently, “no I absolutely donot have a crush on you. Don’t talk rubbish, I did everything for the company and Mr Preston”. “Well…… Mr Micheal it was just casual question, I…….” Starled by his reaction, Mia quickly stood up too, “ are you okay Mr Micheal?” I’m fine don’t come near me, stay away from me. Although only the two of us are here in this room, there’s a third party watching us.” With that he opened the door and stormed out of the room. He didn’t dare to stay in the same room with Mia anymore. Micheal completely forget that this was his own room. Mia frowned, her eyes still fixed on the door, dumbfounded by his reaction. She had thought about it a lot and didn’t expect Micheal to react this way. Even if her guess was wrong, he could have at least

    The next day, as soon as Mia walked into the company, Tiffany called her into the office. Mia swallowed nervously, she couldn’t tell if Tiffany believed what Eva had said yesterday. “Lind, your design was approved by the brown company. Go ahead and prepare for the project with them.” Tiffany spoke briskly, not even glancing up at Mia when she entered the office. “What? But they rejected and criticized my work yesterday. How could they change their mind overnight?” Mia’s jaw nearly dropped to the ground. Plus, what with the arrogant way Eva acted yesterday. Mia was under the impression that Tiffany had called inside her office to fire her. “Why are you so surprised? They’re not blind, anyone could see your design was way better than the second proposal. It’s obvious that the representative from the brown company didn’t know what they were talking about and only rejected your designs because she holds grudge against you. Anyways Mr Micheal contacted their chairman and now, Their CE

    The chairman's question shocked Gerald. He walked to the sofa and slumped down, feeling helpless. “Sir, please listen to my explanation. I did ask my girlfriend to evaluate the design draft. But….” He had involved Eva in the decision making process, just to please her, thinking it wouldn’t be a big deal. However, he didn’t expect the chairman to find out about it. Gerald broke out into a cold sweat, And didn’t dare deny his mistake. “Gerald, how could you make a mistake at this critical moment? After a lot of hard work, our company has finally managed to collaborate with the Preston group. Don’t you know the design department has been outstanding in the Preston group in recent years? I had planned to take advantage of this collaboration to develop the Brown Company into a domestic preeminent modest luxury brand. We can’t make any mistakes. Do you understand?” The chairman was furious. Gerald took a deep breath and said, “ please give me one last chance, I will undo all my mistakes

    Embarrassed, Eva dropped her coffee down and said, “For the time being, I hold no position.”Her goal was to marry into a rich and powerful family, why would she work for any company? The only reason why she was involved in this project in the first place, was because she had seduced Gerald into letting her do so. Micheal pushes his glasses against the bridge of his nose. “Your relationship with Mr Gerald is a private matter, but this collaboration project is a business affair between two companies, you’re just his girlfriend. You are in no position to determine which designs are going to be used, let alone slander our employees and our company.” Eva flushed, humiliated. Who the hell was this man? How could he insult her in public like this? The more she looked at him, the more he seemed familiar. Eva thought she had seen him in the magazine before, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. Nevertheless, she shot up on her feet and glowered at him. “You have offended me greatl

    “Well…. Thank you.” Mia ran the tip of her fingers along the rim of her mug before taking a sip of coffee. Her lips were upturned ever so slightly. She thought that Darren had only said it to give her some comfort, though, so she decided not to take his words seriously. In any case, she was in a terrible situation. Mia definitely had more in store for her in the future, but for now, Mia just wanted to focus on keeping her job. When they had returned from the color company last time, Tiffany had proceeded to choose another designer's drafts for submission. The next day, Ray called for a meeting and made the announcement. “Color company has approved the draft of another designer. Good job everyone. You’ve been working hard, so coffee and desserts are on me. Order whatever you like. Also, another conference will be held tomorrow, and representatives from color companies will be Coming to discuss the detailed plans for this project.

    Yeah, that’s the only solution. We have no other choice.” Ray rubbed her sore shoulder and said, “we are so unlucky to have met such a vindictive client who couldn’t draw a line between their professional and professional life. Well, you go back to the office first, I have to meet another client.”Mia nodded, thinking how hard Ray worked everyday. The elevator door opened, and the two walked out, one after the other. However, before Mia left the building, she saw Eva walking towards her with an evil smile on her face. Mia’s face turned cold. “Are you angry? I haven’t even started, I haven't even barred you from the entire industry yet.” Eva scorned “the failure and success of a woman depends whether she has found the right man or not. As you can see I found the right man, he is handsome, and he is the CEO of this company. A lowly woman like you only deserves a poor illegitimate child. You have to obey others all your life. And aren’t and aren’t destined to make any achievements.
