"I-I...." Adine's voice stopped dead in its tracks, her throat choking like a person being strangled.She did not move a step from her position as if her feet were already glued to the floor.Dominik's movements were so fast that Ara didn't notice the sturdy arm pulling her roughly.With the sound of the door slamming loudly, Adine only felt her back cold as Dominik pushed her against the wall beside the door.The woman's adrenaline began to race; her heartbeat thumped loudly. Accidentally, the paper bag she had been holding fell to the floor."Why be quiet!" Dominik's voice came booming back, accompanied by hot breath, no longer the warmth Adine was used to.Dominik's handsome face turned into a man and a lion; if it were to be compared, it might be like Adine was dealing with a tiger."Why are you so angry?" Although her throat felt like a sharp object was stabbing it, Adine dared to ask Dominik's unclear anger."You dare to fight me!" The cold tone made Adine instantly freeze."I n

"Take a look at yourself in the mirror." Monica pulled Adine from the dressing table to the large mirror attached to the walk-in closet.Adine didn't move; she followed where Monica had taken her. When she stood in front of the mirror, Adine did not blink.Nude makeup mixed with gray and beige emphasized her beautiful dark irises. Meanwhile, red lipstick polished her thin, sensual lips that looked even fuller."I'm sure Mr. Dominik won't blink an eye at you," chirped Monica, who secretly admired her best friend's beauty."That's my goal, especially since Laura will always be around," said Adine in an emphasized tone.Monica stared intensely at her best friend. The narrow-eyed woman seemed to see something different in Adine."Are you worried about Laura being mean to Mr. Dominik, or are you worried about her getting close to him?" Monica's question provoked Ara's reaction.The beautiful woman in her silk dress was stunned for a second. Of course, in her mind, she was still unsure of w

The sound of the alarm and the cell phone ringing made Adine reach for the nightstand. She tried to grab the alarm while it was still closed."Noisy!" grumbled Adine as she was forced out of bed.A second later, the sound of the alarm stopped, but the cell phone ringing still echoed in her ears."Who the hell is making noise in the morning!" cursed Adine as she accepted the call without first looking at the identity on the screen. Sticky eyes made her lazy.["Heeii...Miss, wake up!"]Monica's shrill voice made Adine's ears ring as she instantly moved the smart, flat object away from her ear."Noisy! It's still early to disturb people!" grumbled Adine.[Monica] "Hey, Miss, look at the wall clock; what time did you go to bed last night? Perhaps Dominik didn't let you sleep?"]The sound of giggling instantly echoed from the other side."Quickly tell me, what's wrong?" asked Adine in a lazy tone.["Hey, you missed the news! Check out the news; last night's incident went viral!"]Adine qui

"Dominik, get out!"Adine was still yelling in front of the wall behind a private room."Just watch, if you get out, I'll get out of the apartment too! You pervert!"Adine was still raging incoherently, feeling cheated by Dominik and forced to see the man's intimacy with another woman."Why are you there?"The baritone voice behind her forced Adine to turn her head; the beautiful woman with smooth shoulders turned her body around and was stunned momentarily.Behind her stood two dashing men with strange gazes. Arion could be seen rubbing the back of his neck."You! Who are you keeping in there!"Adine squeaked again to cover her embarrassment. She, who thought Dominik was in a private room with a woman, was standing right behind him."Huh? What do you mean?" Dominik frowned, not understanding."This!" Adine showed him the red lingerie she was holding. "You think I'm stupid! You're making out with another woman and want me to witness it?"Adine walked over to Dominik and Arion, who wer

"Weren't you the one who bumped into me at the café?" the man said, pointing at Adine's face.Adine immediately remembered the man with a Latin face and exotic skin who was only wrapped in a short-sleeved press body T-shirt."Ohh...yes, I remember," Adine replied with a wide smile that revealed her beautiful dimples."It turns out that the world feels small around us," the man said with a smile. "You must not have read the business card I gave you."Adine recalled that after receiving the card from the man, she had immediately put it in her clutch without remembering it."I'm sorry, I forgot," Adine said with a regretful look."It's okay, forget it," the man said. "Me, Leo. What's your name?"The man extended his hand as an invitation to shake hands. Adine was still staring at him and felt anxious about Dominik's whereabouts.Slowly, Adine reached for Leo's hand; the tiny hand was immediately grasped tightly. Feeling uncomfortable, Ara immediately withdrew her hand."I don't know your
