Candy swallowed hard at his words. He was telling her to hold his hair again? She reached for his soft hair again and he returned his lips to her chest.His lips parted and captured her breast. This time, Candy let her moans out freely. He hovered over her and kissed her neck, at the same time positioning himself at her entrance.His thrust came hard. Candy's body jerked, and she whimpered at the pain. Another thrust came without wasting a second. He was hitting her deep, not giving her the chance to breathe."Easy... please!" She dug her nails into his back. It seemed her pleas fell on deaf ears because his thrusts came harder. In the next moment, she reached her climax.Flipping her body over, he made her ass face up to him. His calloused hand pinned her head to the bed. One could see the red marks of Diego's hard kisses on her delicate skin.'He's a monster,' Candy thought. It seemed he was definitely going to drain her energy again tonight. Is this the cycle she'll have to endure?

Brielle choked more, tears streaming down her face. Realization hit Candy, and she snapped back to her senses. She let go of Brielle, her eyes widening as she realized she had let her anger take over. Brielle knelt on the floor, coughing out the cup and saliva. Her throat burned from the pain inflicted by the force. She had thought she was going to die. Candy's gaze shifted to the other workers. They were all staring at her in awe. This was the first time someone stood up to Brielle. Brielle stood up, her face contorted with anger. She faced Candy and wanted to yell, but one of the employees greeted the man who had just stepped in. "Good morning, Mr. President," the others chorused. "Mr... P... President," Brielle quickly bowed her head. "What happened?" Diego directed the question to Candy. She shifted her gaze to Diego. Brielle's hands were sweaty; she should do something. "Mr. President, I can explain what..." Brielle began to speak, but his cold voice cut her off.

Candy disconnected herself from Xavier and cleared her throat.Xavier immediately knew she wasn't comfortable with what he had just done."I'm sorry. I was just too excited to see you," he said."No, it's fine... I..." Her remaining words got stuck in her throat as she felt someone's presence behind her. She had almost forgotten this man was here. She could feel his burning gaze on her."President Diego, how have you been?" Xavier greeted with a cheerful smile, stretching his hand for a handshake.As expected, Diego looked down at his hand and back up at him without removing both hands from his pockets."You've never shaken hands with me ever since we became business partners. How cold," Xavier said."Business partner?" Candy thought. So that was the reason Diego came to them."Let's get down to business," Diego said and walked past him."I'll see you soon, Candy," Xavier said quickly and followed Diego."Who was that?" Yazmine nudged Candy from behind."An old friend. We kinda dated

At that moment, Vortex knew he was in deep hell. Candy's eyes widened. That was unexpected, and the fact he referred to her as his made her feel conflicted. "I'm sorry, please. I didn't mean to. I had no idea," Vortex was terrified. He had heard about Diego. His underworld side was something one shouldn't mess with. "Remove your hand without touching the knife," Diego ordered, and Vortex's eyes widened. That would bring him so much pain. "Sir Die...go.. I" "Should I do it for you then?" Diego raised his brow. If he did, then that hand would be gone. He wanted to see Vortex torture himself. "I'll do it!" Vortex yelled and stared back at his hand, which hurt badly. Removing his hand without touching the knife meant cutting himself. What a torture! "You're fucking wasting my time." His deep voice made Vortex shudder in fear. Tears streamed down his face. Closing his eyes, he removed his hand forcefully, the knife cutting through his flesh, sending extreme pain through his

Candy was stunned for a moment but drifted into the pleasure of his lips moving on hers. It wasn't rough like their previous kisses but gentle.Pinning her against the wall, Diego dived his tongue into her mouth. Candy traced her hand up to his hair, her tongue playing with his.He wanted more; the taste of her lips was messing with his brain. He had never gone slow on a kiss before, but right now, he was doing it and couldn't seem to stop.He slid his right hand down to her tiny waist, drawing her close to himself, while the other hand held her head in place. Their lips burned as they moved against each other, and Candy moaned into his mouth. She got immersed in his sweet touch and pressed herself against him.After savoring each other's lips for a while, Diego broke the kiss. His chest heaving gently as he slowly opened his eyes to look at her.Candy's eyes opened too, and their gazes met. She never knew he could have this gentle side of him.Staring at her closely, Diego slowly cam
