Chapter 12 - WEDDING NIGHT PART 5 - Dirty thoughts be goneElaine's POVI immediately turned on the cold shower after giving that Bastard one last warning not to peek while I was inside the bathroom. I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart and my body, which was still reeling from the words Bastard had described, which had caused my body to become so unstable.Fuck, I didn't expect my body to spin out of control as I listened to that jerk talk about how he was going to touch my body. It made my body tremble with desire, as if it remembered how I was touched on the night we made love and I didn't even remember what happened.The cold shower isn't helping to calm my body, which is still feeling hot all over the place, as he described in his deep vulgar tone, and his eyes continue to roam my body. It's as if he's kissing every place he looks with his eyes. While anticipating and whimpering silently, I did my best not to let him see or hear my moaning." ARGH! Elaine Cai, just stop t

Chapter 14 - sprained right legELAINE'S POVIt was early dawn when I opened my eyes, and I could hear birds singing outside our room. I carefully pushed myself out of bed. As my mind is still not fully awake, I gaze about the room.While I continued to look at the empty space, the door unexpectedly opened, surprising me, and I glanced to see who had entered. It was none other than Duke Hayes who arrived with a platter of food."Good morning Elaine, you're already awake, I brought you your breakfast for this morning," he said as he moved towards the bed with a tray in his hand.As he approached, I could smell the delectable scent of the food in the air as he brought it towards me, making my empty stomach growl like a beast that hasn't fed in days." Here you go, Elaine, enjoy your breakfast," he remarked as he approached the bed I was still seated on.He quickly placed the tray near my bed, and I looked at the food with desire in my eyes. The meal in the tray included crispy bread, f

Chapter 16 - lovedDuke's POVAs much as I dislike coming off Elaine's lap, I had to raise my head in annoyance when we arrived at the hospital. And I didn't anticipate Elaine to let me stay on her lap while we drove silently to the hospital, which made me smile discreetly.Elaine nudges my body to stir me up, saying, "Hey, wake up, we've arrived at the hospital."And because I wanted to tease her I didn't open my eyes and continued to pretend to sleep in her lap comfortably. "Are you really not going to wake up?" she said, nudging my body harder this time.My body almost slid off the seat, but I pretended that I had just awoken from a nap and stared at Elaine's displeased face, which I hadn't expected to be so close to mine. As we both look at each other, my body freezes.I want to kiss those kissable lips as I did Elaine's lips last night. Elaine's eyes are filled with confusion and astonishment as she looks at me. I'm hoping to capture her reaction right now. It's humorous while a

Chapter 18 - UNINVITED GUESTDuke's POV Why, oh why has my uncle arrived? What precisely does he want of me? I'm walking towards my office, knowing that my uncle will be sent there, even if I don't want to leave Elaine's side quite yet.Damn.I'm still not ready to let uncle see Elaine, and I had no plans to let him see Elaine. But if he stays in this place, this will cause problems. I need a strategy to get him to leave this house. " Where is my uncle?" I asked Ash, our family butler, as we walked."He's staying at your office, sir," Ash responded to my question." Did he say the purpose of his visit?" I asked Ash again."No sir, your uncle didn't inform us about the reason for his unexpected visit," Ash said with a shake of his head.I simply nodded in response and proceeded directly to my office, opening the door and stepping inside. My uncle turned around to see who walked in, and when he realized it was me, his lips formed a phony smile."Oh here you are, my favorite niece," he

Chapter 20 - Complicated to Dissect Elaine's POV When I returned to my room, Reya gently assisted me in climbing onto my bed. After successfully climbing onto my bed, I informed Reya she could leave now.After Reya had shut the door to my room, I collapsed on the bed in frustration. As I looked up at the ceiling, I remembered a heated discussion I had with Duke, who had grown exceedingly unreasonable to discuss anything."DAMN YOU DUKE HAYES!" I swore angrily at Duke's name.Why do men have such an awful attitude?! Why can't they be nice and considerate to women? Men are quite complicated to understand.Worse, we need to dissect them thoroughly before we can comprehend what they are thinking, feeling, and what their acts signify to them as well as to us. It is difficult to dissect men since we need a great deal of patience to finish the dissection because some men, like my new husband, are stubborn."Goddamn it, why do I have to marry a man who is cruel and cold to me?!
