Marie secretly clenched her fists under the table making a mental note to get rid of anyone who stood like a thorn in her way to achieve her happiness. Who would have thought that Athena Stanford was indeed one of the biological descendants of Stanfords? She recalled the man's words during that time when she tried to pursue him, killing the latter. The look on his face seems like he was genuinely horrified as he refused to accept another deal to finish their job. His warning echoed in her ears… 'She is heavily guarded by the Stanfords bodyguards.'Now she finally understands why. That was because Athena was a precious jewel after all… A slight smirk made its way to her lips as she formed a quick plan to benefit the truth as an advantageous opportunity. With that thought in mind, she finally felt better, shutting herself off to oblivion. She concentrated on eating her food, pushing aside the fact that she had already given the warning earlier.Mike on the other hand couldn't bear watch

"Terrence, please don't…" she begged helplessly, reasoning out. "Anton is still waiting for me…""Just give in to me and I'll let you go…" he groaned deeply in her ear."I… I can't." She murmured under her breath as a shiver ran down her spine. She was on the brink of losing herself and if he continued to do it, she was afraid that she might give in completely to his temptations. Everything would turn upside down… "Your body seemed to disagree with you, my wife…" Terrence felt her body reaction against his touch and he felt satisfied after knowing her slowly melting. He touched her more down there as he kissed her shoulders until she eventually surrendered…Thinking that he would let her go if she submitted, she finally groaned in defeat, "Fine! I agree! Stop doing this right now!"She has also forgotten how cunning her husband was and whenever he wants something, he never dared to stop until he fully got it tightly gripped between his grasp. This very rare circumstance was highly o

Terrence was currently drying his wet hair when his mobile phone settled at his nightstand, started vibrating…He brusquely strode over to have a look as he expected that it might be his wife but his face distorted in utter disgust with what he saw. Hannah's mother was calling…Though he wanted to decline the call and shut his phone off, he couldn't as he was constantly reminded by his intentions thus he was left with no choice but to answer the call…"Mrs. Wilson," he murmured stoically."Terrence, can you come to the nearest hospital now?" Hannah's mother muttered anxiously."Hospital? What happened?" He asked, pretending to be curious."Hannah needs you right now. Please come over…"Terrence was about to refuse but the call was abruptly cut off leaving him frustrated. Reluctantly, he wore another set of clothes and stormed out from his hotel suite. He ascended into the empty elevator punching the GF button in annoyance whilst waiting for his lift to arrive at its specific destinat

It was nearly evening. Athena raced her way towards Stanford mansion to get herself ready but halfway through her journey, her mobile phone vibrated. She slowed down and answered the call through her earpiece without looking into the caller ID…"Athena Stanford, speaking?""Mrs. Adams, tell me where you are this instant." It was Terrence's cold and domineering voice resonating on the line.Athena bit her lips for a while and replied honestly, "...I'm heading to the mansion.""There's no need for you to go there." He said, "Anton has taken care of everything for their arrival.""But I need to take a shower and change my clothes before picking them up." She reasoned out. "Besides, there's still two hours remaining before their jet lands.""Come to Adams International. I'll wait for you." Terrence instructed indifferently before he abruptly dropped the call. "Terrence!" Athena gnashed her teeth in annoyance when all she could hear was nothing but a beeping tone in the background. She

As the lift began ascending towards his specific floor, Terrence resumed talking.He leaned over and questioned, "So how long are you planning to hold onto me as my dearest wife?"Terrence, though feeling elated, tries to speak and act indifferent towards her as to prevent her from getting alarmed with his possessive behavior even though he yearned to do the opposite…"Until I felt satisfied." She curtly replied.Ding!The elevator had stopped, opening its doors but due to their conversation, the couple remained inside.Terrence feigned a snort. "Tell me how to satisfy you then."She raised her eyebrows as she chuckled coldly, "...I want your mistress to realize how much she owed me ever since she came into the picture and let her try those situations that I'm in, in the past."His heart thudded loudly as he stared at her eagerly. "You remembered everything?"She shook her head. "Nope. But I have taken notes of it."Terrence felt crestfallen and his expression darkened.Taken notes me
