~~~~~ Maxwell's Mansion ~~~~~ Night.Natalie walked back into Maxwell's room after taking her bath, a towel was hanging from her chest to her waist. Her flaming red hair was wet and stuck to her face, she held a towel in her hand using it to dry her hair. She had searched through Maxwell's room but found no clothes she could wear.Walking towards the door, she attempted to open it and walk out of the room to her room or find a maid to get her some clothes when Maxwell entered the room. Her lips parted in surprise and shock, she quickly veered around showing her back to him. Maxwell cleared his throat in embarrassment when he saw she was still naked, preferably half naked he would say. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to leave the bathroom like this. There were no clothes for me in the bathroom, so I wanted to get some." Natalie muttered to clear confusion in the air.Ahem! "Oh! Sorry, I will ask the maid to get you some clothes. Wait here don't come outside." Maxwell mumbled walking tow

~~~~~ Coco Beach ~~~~~Mr. Hawthorne stood outside his vacation house, a stick of Cigarette in his hands. He was staring silently into the night sky, his other hand hanging on the balcony.Jace walked onto the balcony of the house, "Uncle, you called for me?" Jade questioned standing behind his uncle."Pick up a stick kid, hope I am not interrupting your time with your lovely wife." Mr. Hawthorne muttered with a teasing smile tugging at the edge of his lips, he looked completely different from his prim and proper appearance before people."Don't say that Uncle, she just gave birth so I can't possibly spend more time with her. She needs to take care of the baby too." Jace mumbled with a smile on his lips. He picked up his stick as his uncle told him to, lit it up, and placed it on his lips."Child you are good, tsk! I wonder why my stupid son can't be like you, he is so annoying." Mr. Hawthorne remarked in a cold tone. "If that bastard won't get married, then I think I have to force hi

Why can't I see her anywhere around?" Lycan questioned in an accusing tone, his hands balled into a fist.Mr. and Mrs. Dennison threw their son a scolding gaze, Mrs. Dennison had a little smile at the edge of her lips. She wanted to see her daughter soon, but she bottled up all her happiness."Young master Hawthorne, please don't be upset. Pardon my son for his insolence." Dennis pleaded on Lycan's behalf. Ace turned his eyes towards Natalie's Father, his face expressionless, he was sitting like a king before his subject. His fingers, which were busy clicking and tapping on the handle of his chair, came to a halt."It's nothing Mr. Dennison, I forgive him for his insolence. There's no reason for you to worry." Ace muttered in a calm tone and Dennis nodded his head.Dennis turned his gaze to his s

Natalie Ace Mansion Natalie stared at Ace in startled silence following his unexpected marriage proposal in front of her entire family. Her heart raced as she attempted to digest his bold comments. "Marry you?" Natalie eventually spoke, barely above a whisper. "But...we have only just met. This is quite sudden." Lycan jumped up from his seat, rage on his face. "There's no way my little sister is marrying you!" he exclaimed, advancing to a protective stance in front of Natalie. "She's just a girl; you can't make these kinds of decisions for her!" "Silence," Ace said calmly, extending his hand. "This is between Natalie and myself. I'm offering her an option, not deciding for her." He returned his concentrated attention to Natalie, who wilted under the weight. "Well? What is your response?" Will you marry me? Natalie felt her parents' worried looks sear into her. She understood that marrying Ace would provide their family with financial security for the rest of their lives. But was she
Billionaire 's Delicate Wife Chapter 26
Natalie felt like she couldn't breathe as she entered the sitting room to give Ace her final response. Her family had gathered, their looks expressing the gravity of the situation. Ace stood in front of the fireplace, his back to her, as she entered. As she neared, he slowly turned, his face a mask. "Well?" he asked frankly. "What is your decision?" Natalie's mouth felt as dry as the desert. She looked at her parents and saw desperate hope mixed with worry in their eyes. Then came Lycan, whose features were set in a defiant look at Ace. She inhaled a shuddering breath. For a tiny moment, she pictured herself as Ace's wife, dressed in finery and wanting nothing more than what material wealth might bring. But something inside her recoiled at the thought of that gilded cage. "I...I can't accept your proposal," she finally muttered, dreading Ace's reaction while feeling a strange sort of satisfaction for following her heart. "Please know that I am honored, but I cannot marry you. It would

Natalie felt as if the floor had dropped out from beneath her feet. Sell her soul, her freedom, and her entire life to Ace. The notion was so perverse, so utterly devoid of humanity, that she could scarcely process it. "You're...you're insane," she stammered, unable to fully mask the tremor in her voice. "You can't be serious." Ace's features remained coldly impassive. "I can assure you, I've never been more lucid." He rose from his seat and began slowly circling her like a predator evaluating its prey. "Think of it more as...an extremely specialized form of indentured service. One where the length and terms are indefinite." "This is madness!" Natalie knew her voice had taken on a shrill, desperate edge, but she was powerless to temper it. "You're talking about enslaving me!" Ace tsked softly. "Such an unrefined term. I prefer to think of it as bringing your potential into my dedicated service." He stopped, holding her with an intense stare that seemed to burn straight through her. "Yo

Natalie felt her body tingle with energy and bravado in response to Ace's disguised threat. Some primal part of her seemed to relish the opportunity to fight back against his cruelty. "Is that so?" she said, striving to keep her voice steady. "Well, I think it's about time you got a taste of having your control challenged for once." She leaned further over the desk, revealing Ace's flared nostrils as her defiance struck a chord. "Do you want to attempt breaking me, Hawthorne? Have at it. But I can assure you that you will not appreciate the process. His jaw tightened almost subtly. "We'll see about that." Then, before Natalie could understand the movement, Ace's palm darted out and clamped vice-like around her wrist. She let out a shocked gasp as he yanked her forward, her torso smashing into the desk edge with bone-rattling power. "Get one thing through that pretty little head of yours," he growled, his face mere inches from hers. Natalie could feel the fire in his words and smell th
Billionaire 's Delicate Wife Chapter 29
The days after Ace's terrible treatment of Natalie at dinner were a tumultuous, bizarre game of cat-and-mouse around the huge manor grounds. He seemed to take pleasure in tormenting her at every turn, his presence a foreshadowing of further degradation. But Natalie refused to be the frightened captive he had clearly intended. She shadowed his movements with a barely contained ferocity, like a cat pursuing its unwary prey through the underbrush. Every calculated smile and offhanded remark he sent her way just fueled the banked fires of her hatred. Natalie finally took advantage of an opening during one of these predatory circuits. Ace had led a pair of suspicious business associates on a tour of Hawthorne's immaculately manicured gardens and residential wings. Natalie followed them between shaded archways and groomed hedgerows, watching and waiting. Her moment arrived when the group arrived on the south patio. Natalie struck while Ace leaned against the stone balustrade, telling his gu
