She had been content before he kissed her. Despite harboring feelings for him for a long time, she had never felt the need to approach him, finding satisfaction in the way things were.So why did he kiss her? If he wasn't interested in her, he shouldn't have given her false hope.His actions had wounded her ego and self-esteem. The kiss had shattered the delicate balance she had maintained.As she left his house, a determination had set in. She had made up her mind to show him how he had played with her emotions.She desired him as the final piece of the puzzle, regardless of whether it was the right or wrong way. She wanted him to understand the impact of his actions, to realize the depth of her feelings. It wasn't about revenge, but a quest for understanding and acknowledgment.With a resolute mindset, she was determined to make him realize the mistake he had made. He had unknowingly messed with the wrong person. Despite her angelic appearance, he had no inkling of the depths to whi

"Alice, you never told us. Mr. Grill is your husband?" Alice's uncle spoke with a smile, the first time her name had been spoken so lovingly in this family. It seemed unfathomable that Alice was Lucas's wife, leaving everyone in awe."Have you ever asked?" Lucas spoke coldly, making Alice's uncle visibly embarrassed."She is our daughter. Obviously, we have to know," he tried to cover his embarrassment. The revelation had thrown Alice's family into disarray, leaving Lucas to confront the consequences of their lack of inquiry into her life.As Alice scanned the faces around her, each one looked as if they had seen a deity.Lucas scoffed, "Daughter? So in your family, you have a rule to abuse your daughter?"His cold words cut through the air, his eyes harboring a menacing intensity as if ready to dismantle everyone present for daring to harm his woman.How dare anyone lay a hand on his woman?Alice, not wanting Lucas to stay any longer, subtly pulled at his clothes. Lucas looked down a

He hooked his hands on her inner thighs and spread her open for him with his thumbs.He waited for a beat, and then he pounced. He grabbed her thighs, pulled her as close as he could, and licked her furiously. He bit her clit, gaining a whimper from her, and sucked on it to make the ache go away.Rather than moving his face, he moved her hips, making her ride his face. She whined, thighs quivering instantly as his tongue went from her hole to her clit, again and again.Alice was so embarrassed.Oh, god.She covered her face with her hands.Her mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions as she lay there, tangled in the sheets, biting her bottom lip, and her heart pounding in her chest. She couldn't shake the feeling of guilt that gnawed at her insides.Just moments ago, she had been adamant about her feelings, insisting that she didn't love him. And yet, here she was, succumbing to the pleasure of their intimate moment.But even as waves of desire coursed through her body, a sense of

"Who was that?" Lucas asked in a cold tone, as expected. However, Alice behaved as if she hadn't heard him.Lucas waited for a response, but when none came, he walked to the other side of the bed. As Alice continued her work, she observed him making his way towards her.With an abrupt move, Lucas reached for her phone, attempting to unlock it."What's the passcode?" he demanded.Ignoring his question, Alice focused on her laptop, intentionally avoiding eye contact.He glanced at the phone, frustration evident in his expression. When Alice still didn't respond, he took a deep breath, visibly restraining his anger.His frustration heightened as he repeated, "What's the passcode?"Alice, still keeping her eyes on the laptop screen, responded calmly, "It's my personal phone. I won't give you the passcode." This man will not let her have a peace.Lucas clenched his jaw, visibly angered by her defiance."Alice, don't challenge me"Alice swiftly reacted, pulling the phone away from his grasp

Alice took a step back, creating a bit of distance."Lucas, giving me material things won't fix our problems. We need to communicate, understand each other, and respect each other's choices."He nodded, acknowledging her words. "I know, and I'm willing to work on that. But, for now, please take the card. Consider it a gesture of goodwill."Alice hesitated for a moment before accepting the card. "Fine, but this doesn't change anything between us. We still have a lot to figure out."Lucas nodded, his eyes lighting up, thinking that Alice had finally broken the wall between them by accepting his card. Little did he know, Alice accepted the card merely to avoid his persistent insistence. When they were married, she hadn't spent a single penny of his money, and it was still impossible for her to do so now.She understood that he wouldn't let her go until she accepted, so she did so before he could press her further.After a while, Lucas left for work, mentioning that he would come to pick
