Chapter 69:
The sound of firm footsteps echoing away from the apartment door became a temporary farewell bell, seeing her husband off toward the battlefield.Quinn hugged the pillow that still carried her husband's scent for several minutes, unwilling to let go of the lingering warmth from their heated struggle the previous night.The brown-haired woman finally gave in, forcing herself to throw back the thick blanket before straightening her slightly wrinkled nightshirt.She slowly turned the doorknob to her bedroom, stepped out into the living room while casually tying up her hair.At that exact second, the guest room door at the end of the hallway creaked open as well, breaking the apartment's silence.Diane emerged from behind the door wearing pajamas, tidying her curled hair as she looked around."Who just left? Your husband?" Diane asked with a frown.Quinn stopped in the middle of the hallway, glancing at her mother expressionlessly.The squeak of wheels scraping against the floor followed,
Chapter 68:
The kiss that had begun as an act of Quinn's desperation had now transformed into a blazing fire of passion, consuming the last remnants of restraint they both possessed.Marcus smoothly shifted into a dominant position, pressing his wife's slender body down until Quinn's back rested fully against the soft sofa.Every lingering, heated kiss they exchanged seemed to voice their protest against every boundary that had existed throughout their marriage.Their ragged breaths collided, creating a chaotic harmony that overwhelmed the silence of the apartment that night.Marcus's rough fingers now glided gently along the graceful curve of his wife's neck, making her writhe as she quickly wrapped both arms around the neck of the man above her.The territorial boundaries and doubts that had remained frozen in Quinn's heart for months finally melted away without a trace.To her, the endless mysteries surrounding the background of the enigmatic man holding her no longer held any importance.Marc
Chapter 67
Only a few seconds after the sedan carrying Moran disappeared around the corner, the screech of another car's tires tore through the silence.A black SUV came to an abrupt stop just inches from the tip of Marcus's shoes.The driver's door swung open, revealing Callum, who immediately strode toward his superior with a face etched in tension."The situation in the capital has just taken a turn for the worse," Callum reported, getting straight to the point without bothering with a greeting. "We can't delay any longer.""Our headquarters was reduced to ruins by a series of bomb attacks half an hour ago," the man continued. "Hundreds of our troops have been brought down by a nerve-paralyzing toxin."Marcus's jaw slowly tightened, his expression darkening within seconds."This all happened because two of our executives decided to betray us." Callum let out a harsh snort, his face growing even gloomier. "The two of them unlocked the security code for the defensive gate, allowing those rebel
Chapter 66
Alexander's hysterical denial simply dissipated into the afternoon breeze without anyone paying it any attention.Marcus did not even bother glancing at the man, his attention shifting toward Seraphina instead.The woman took two steps backward, her pupils darting around as though the Grim Reaper were drawing closer to her."You think you're safe hiding behind your brother's madness, Miss Sterling?" Marcus greeted calmly.Seraphina swallowed hard, unconsciously clutching the hem of her dress. "S-shut your mouth, you beggar! How dare you...""How dare I what?" Marcus interrupted, lowering his face as he locked eyes with Seraphina, whose gaze trembled even more. "Expose your cheap little hobby of sneaking into the beds of wealthy heirs?"Seraphina's face instantly lost all color, resembling a marble statue.The spectators, who had just been stunned by Alexander's disgrace, once again held their breath, preparing their ears for the second act of the scandal."You sell your charm to the y
Chapter 65: swift as lightning!
"Look at this cheap melodrama, two dogs from an inferior breed have finally come together to lick each other's wounds in the trash!" the woman mocked, pointing straight at Moran's wrinkled face."Maybe we should give them a street stage so they can beg for coins together after this," Alexander added, spitting onto the sidewalk.Moran trembled in fear, clutching Marcus's sleeve while forcing himself to take short breaths."G-go, Marcus... leave this old man here before you lose your life as well," the old man whispered with the last of his strength.Marcus merely gave the back of Moran's hand a gentle pat."No one is leaving, Moran, and no one is going to lay a finger on you again today," the man replied.That statement instead drew a disgusted snort from Seraphina, who raised her left hand and waved her fingers through the air."Teach these two homeless bums a valuable lesson so they know where they should bow their filthy heads!" she ordered.Five large men dressed entirely in black
Chapter 64:
Interpreting Marcus's silence as a form of foolish defiance, Seraphina clicked her tongue. "So, you really intend to test my patience to the very end, you piece of street trash?" the woman demanded, her eyes darting around until they caught the silhouette of a middle-aged male waiter limping across the café courtyard, dragging one of his legs behind him. The neatly uniformed man, who appeared to be nearing his fifties, was carrying a silver tray filled with a dozen empty crystal glasses. His stiff right leg caused each step to produce a soft dragging sound. "Hey, you lame old waiter, get over here right now!" Seraphina called, arrogantly snapping her fingers. The degrading summons immediately halted the waiter's steps, and he hurried over with an anxious expression. "I-is there anything I can help you with, Miss?" he asked, bowing his head deeply. Seraphina curled her lips into a crooked smile. "I need your help teaching this stray dog in front of me some upper-class manners,"
