Vivian’s face turned deathly pale. Her hands trembled so badly that holding her cutlery became a difficult feat as if she had lost all self-control.On the evening before Liam’s return to the country, she received another call from Edward. “Miss Carraway, come over tonight and accompany a guest of mine. The car will be waiting for you outside the university.”His tone suggested that this was a request, but he did not give her any room to reject him.She sat in her office and fumbled around he
Edward’s smile froze in place. His gaze lingered on her before he smiled again. “Of course, you can,” he said, then he looked at Mr. Fette. “Miss Carraway’s fiancé will be coming home tomorrow. Have some decorum, Mr. Fette. Please don’t create conflict between lovers.”He knew everything. He knew that Liam would be back tomorrow, so he had purposely chosen this day to cheapen her. He left her a loophole on purpose to lure her into going all in, then watched her as she struggled and fought helpl
He raised his brows in surprise and said, “But after taking his life, you decided to take mine too. This is a debt that I must collect.”“As expected, it’s useless to reason with you. Very well then. Let me tell you one thing…” She smiled teasingly, tip-toed, and slowly drew herself closer to him provocatively. Just as he frowned, she pounced on his lips.This was an unexpected development. He never imagined that she would do such a thing and was momentarily stunned. It took him a few seconds
He chuckled callously, but his voice was cold and merciless as if he had come from the depths of icy-cold hell. There was no warmth. “Since you have the guts to anger me, you’ll have to bear the consequences. Come. I’d love to see just how skilled you really are, Ms. Carraway, to have men so captivated by you.”Vivian was completely naked.The sight of her biting her lip and enduring this humiliation satisfied him, and for some strange reason, it thrilled him. He pulled her to her feet and dra
Vivian barrelled home straight away. The first thing she did when she arrived at her house was to go into the bathroom, fill the bathtub with hot water, and immerse herself in it. She had already bathed herself in the villa, yet she was not satisfied. She scrubbed herself forcefully with a towel until her skin became red and raw, but she felt like it was still not enough.She brushed her teeth countless times like mad, meticulously scouring through every spot her toothbrush could reach in her o
Soon, she finished packing her stuff. Before she left the house, she turned around and took one last look at her warm abode. Liam would be back in another five hours. If she chose to stay, she could throw herself into his arms and weep her fill. She could ask for his help, and he could help her to shoulder her pain and despair. She was confident that he would never let her face her troubles alone. After all, he was her most solid reliance, her safe haven. However, if she dragged him into this
Wade knew that Edward was an inveterate smoker deep down although he had never seen him smoke before. Piqued by his curiosity, he said, “Mr. Levin, although cigarettes are bad for your health, it doesn’t hurt to have one or two sticks once in a while. The reason you were prohibited from smoking was due to your poor health condition, Mr. Levin. But your health has improved significantly since then, so I guess it is fine for you to enjoy a stick right now.“ Edward was genuinely stunned to hear
Claude nodded, but he still walked her to the door. His persistence put her on the spot. The last thing she wanted him to know was that she was staying in the hotel. Left with no other options, she just kept walking forward with him watching her from behind. In the end, she took a detour around the street with the meal box before returning to the hotel. On Wade’s monitor screen, the green dot representing Vivian’s location was making a square as well. Since he could not make head or tail of
