Leona unexpectedly fell for Elmer at a young age. However, Aurora, her adopted sister, ruthlessly whisked away her family and the man she loved. When Leona was of age, she was excited to marry the man of her dreams. She wasn't going to give up such a wonderful opportunity to be with Elmer. However, Elmer wrapped his arms around Aurora and looked at Leona with unmasked disgust. "You make me sick." Leona winced and held her aching stomach. She felt as though her whole world was collapsing around her. Smiling bitterly, she said, "I won't let you go until I die." Soon after this encounter, Leona vanished without a trace. Nobody knew whether she was alive or dead. In Elmer's dreams, he often heard Leona's voice saying to him, "If only I had never loved you." Five years later, Leona returned. This time, she had a child by her side...
Leona Barnes awoke to the sound of the door being pushed open. Her eyes instantly lit up.
Today was her birthday.
Elmer Hayes's grandfather had promised that Elmer would come back.
She had waited for him all day. Finally, he was here!
Leona quickly stood up, pretending she wasn't sleeping just now, and approached Elmer with a bright smile.
"Elmer, you're- Hmm..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the man suddenly pressed his lips against hers, silencing her.
She felt herself being pulled into the man's arms and was instantly drowned in the strong smell of alcohol.
Leona pressed her hands against Elmer's chest and tried to push him away, struggling to break free from his embrace.
But this only made the man kiss her more fiercely. He locked her in place, wrapping his arms around her tightly like a python.
With cheeks aflame, Leona could do nothing but let the man kiss her.
Elmer's tongue slipped inside and danced with hers, making the smell of alcohol spread into her mouth.
Leona couldn't stand it anymore. Her whole body went limp in the man's arms.
Elmer paused, cupped her butt cheeks and hoisted her up, letting her wrap her slender legs around his narrow and muscular waist.
It wasn't until he tasted a metallic taste of blood that he temporarily let go of Leona.
Leona gasped for breath. "Are... Are you hungry? I could ask-"
"I'm hungry."
A deep, hoarse voice interrupted her.
Elmer's Adam's apple bobbed up and down. Before Leona could say anything more, a pair of firm hands grabbed her slender waist and threw her to the bed. Elmer climbed atop her and whispered in her ear, "I'm hungry for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her smooth, delicate neck. His lips kept moving downwards, until his face was buried in her cleavage.
Perhaps it was the alcohol, but Elmer acted more rudely than usual, leaving a trail of hickeys on Leona's delicate skin.
He gently bit her pink nipple, nibbling on it with his teeth. Leona couldn't help but moan, arching her back in pleasure.
She had no reservations anymore. Holding the back of his head, she squirmed restlessly under his body, her eyes filled with passion.
Elmer's penis was already erect. Stimulated by the alcohol, he couldn't hold it in anymore and ripped Leona's nightdress off.
"Oh, God... Elmer..."
Leona's long eyelashes were wet with tears. Suddenly, she felt that something thick being inserted into her body. She groaned loudly.
The two of them became one.
After climaxing, Elmer rolled over and lay next to her, panting breathlessly.
The air was heavy with intimacy.
Leona rested her head on his chest, her face as ruddy as a tomato. She couldn't help but smile contentedly.
This was their rare moment of happiness, and Leona always held it dear.
She was counting Elmer's eyelashes idly when the phone suddenly rang, destroying the romantic atmosphere.
Sighing slightly, Elmer reached for the phone and answered it. His voice was low and gentle. He seemed to still be immersed in the romantic moment.
All of a sudden, his expression changed, his eyes filled with worry.
Seeing this, Leona's heart sank.
There was always only one person in this world who could make him wear such an expression.
"Don't worry. I'll be right there,"
Elmer said in a gentle tone. Obviously, he was talking to his beloved one.
Unfortunately for Leona, the person he loved was never her.
Leona reached for his hand in an effort to stop him. "Elmer..."
But Elmer ignored her. He shrugged off her hand, quickly got dressed, and left the bedroom without looking back.
He left her in the blink of an eye, as though they didn't make love just now.
The happy moment was shattered in an instant.
Leona smiled bitterly and withdrew her stiff hand. She clutched the quilt so tightly, her knuckles turned white.
It had been a year. She should've been used to his coldness by now, so why did she still feel heartbroken?
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
With her eyelashes trembling, Leona looked up in anticipation, thinking Elmer might've come back.
However, it was just the servant who had come in, holding a glass of water and a pill.
"Mrs. Hayes, please take the medicine," she said politely.
Leona rubbed the spot between her brows, smiling wryly.
Perhaps it was because the air conditioner was on full blast that she felt cold to her bones. Her heart even hurt more.
She couldn't remember how many times she had gone through this scenario.
Every time they made love, Elmer would ask a servant to bring her a contraceptive pill.
He refused to let her have his child.
How could he be so heartless?
Today was her birthday, yet he had left her in the dust, as usual.
Elmer didn't even glance at her when he left, but he didn't forget to ask the servant to take the medicine to her.
Suppressing the grief in her heart, Leona took the medicine and glass of water with trembling hands.
But the servant didn't leave. She stood glued to the spot and looked at Leona expressionlessly.
Leona knew that the servant wouldn't leave until she saw her swallow the contraceptive pill.
This was Elmer's order after all, and the servant dared not disobey him.
After having been married for one year, Elmer had given Leona whatever she wanted.
Except his child and his affection for her.
Their loveless marriage was arranged by Elmer's grandfather.
Leona married Elmer only because she was the biological daughter of the Barnes family.
She was elated back then. Thanks to the arranged marriage, she finally got the chance to be with the man she had loved for many years.
But Elmer never reciprocated that love. In fact, he was in love with someone else when he reluctantly married Leona.
She knew this since the beginning.
It was only natural that he hated her!
She had never held onto the hope that someday, her husband might warm up to her.
She was just determined to stay by his side as his loyal wife.
She even turned a blind eye to Elmer's affair with that woman. She just endured the pain in silence all alone.
It was already two o'clock early in the morning when Elmer arrived at the hospital.
He pushed the door to the ward open and found the woman lying in bed, pale as a ghost. She seemed so weak.
She smiled at him with difficulty. "You're here, Elmer... Ahem."
She couldn't even finish a sentence without coughing violently. She looked so pitiful.
Elmer walked over to her side and patted her back gently. To the doctor, he asked with a frown, "Didn't you say that she was all right?"
The doctor pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "Mr. Hayes, she was admitted this time not because of her congenital heart disease, but because of the bleeding..."
In their three years of marriage, Chelsea had been a dutiful wife to Edmund. She used to think that her love and care would someday melt Edmund's cold heart, but she was wrong. Finally, she couldn't take the disappointment any longer and chose to end the marriage. Edmund had always thought that his wife was just boring and dull. So it was shocking when Chelsea suddenly threw divorce papers at his face in front of everyone at the Nelson Group's anniversary party. How humiliating! After that, everyone thought that the formerly-married couple would never see each other again, even Chelsea. Once again, she thought wrong. Sometime later, at an award ceremony, Chelsea went onstage to accept the award for best screenplay. Her ex-husband, Edmund, was the one presenting the award to her. As he handed her the trophy, he suddenly reached for her hand and pleaded humbly in front of the audience, "Chelsea, I'm sorry I didn't cherish you before. Could you please give me another chance?" Chelsea looked at him indifferently. "I'm sorry, Mr. Nelson. My only concern now is my business." Edmund's heart was shattered into a million pieces. "Chelsea, I really can't live without you." But his ex-wife just walked away. Wasn't it better for her to just concentrate on her career? Men would only distract her—especially her ex-husband.
For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
Everyone was shocked to the bones when the news of Rupert Benton's engagement broke out. It was surprising because the lucky girl was said to be a plain Jane, who grew up in the countryside and had nothing to her name. One evening, she showed up at a banquet, stunning everyone present. "Wow, she's so beautiful!" All the men drooled, and the women got so jealous. What they didn't know was that this so-called country girl was actually an heiress to a billion-dollar empire. It wasn't long before her secrets came to light one after the other. The elites couldn't stop talking about her. "Holy smokes! So, her father is the richest man in the world?" "She's also that excellent, but mysterious designer who many people adore! Who would have guessed?" Nonetheless, people thought that Rupert didn't love her. But they were in for another surprise. Rupert released a statement, silencing all the naysayers. "I'm very much in love with my beautiful fiancee. We will be getting married soon." Two questions were on everyone's minds: "Why did she hide her identity? And why was Rupert in love with her all of a sudden?"
Belinda thought after divorce, they would part ways for good - he could live his life on his own terms, while she could indulge in the rest of hers. However, fate had other plans in store. "My darling, I was wrong. Would you please come back to me?" The man, whom she once loved deeply, lowered his once proud head humbly. "I beg you to return to me." Belinda coldly pushed away the bouquet of flowers he had offered her and coolly replied, "It's too late. The bridge has been burned, and the ashes have long since scattered to the wind!"
"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
