Maya blinked in surprise at his request. “Huh? Lock the door? What if a nurse comes in later?”

Cayden flashed a sly, almost devilish grin. “That’s exactly why we should lock it—to make sure no one interrupts. I thought we could have a little pillow talk.”

As he spoke, he got out of bed and moved over to the window, slowly pulling the curtains shut. The golden sunlight that had flooded the room vanished, replaced by a soft, muted glow that filled the space with a suggestive, almost intimate atmosphere.

Maya understood what Cayden was implying. Her cheeks flushed slightly, a mix of hesitation and awareness flickering across her delicate features. Yet, despite her reservations, she quietly turned the lock on the door.

She walked over to the bed and sat down gently. “Cayden, I’m truly sorry my husband hurt you. Are your fingers still in pain?”

Cayden looked down at his injured right hand with a helpless sigh. “Pain is the least of it. The real tragedy is that I may never use them properly

    A smile tugged at Ethan’s lips.When it came to dealing with despicable people, finding allies was never difficult. A man who mistreats one woman rarely stops there—he’s likely wronged many.With that in mind, Ethan opened the Notes app on his phone and began drafting a statement for Selena, carefully crafting her accusation against Cayden.But this wasn’t just about personal revenge—Ethan had a larger goal in mind. He intended to drag Cayden’s family company, Breezy Express, into the mess. And to make the impact more severe, he planned to implicate Cayden’s grandfather as well.Selena’s public image and reach gave Ethan the perfect weapon—her influence could deliver a devastating blow to a corporation worth tens of billions.Once he finished typing the statement, he handed the phone to Selena. “Read it carefully,” he said. “You’ll need to memorize it.”Selena scanned the text a few times, nodding slightly. “It looks alright,” she said, “but… why record a video?

  • Chapter 174: Testifying against Cayden

    “Mind if I take a shower first?” Selena asked casually as she tossed her handbag onto the couch. It landed right beside Ethan’s hand.Ethan blinked, clearly confused by her sudden shift in tone. “Miss Selena… are you misunderstanding something here?”With a cold scoff, Selena shot back, “Misunderstanding? You secretly took photos of me and used them to threaten me. Now you’re offering me money—what else could this be about, if not to get me into bed?”Over the past two years since her rise to fame, she’d encountered more than her fair share of wealthy men and industry power players who had tried to buy her attention—or her body. To her, this kind of situation had become all too familiar.Ethan was silent for a few seconds, staring at her in disbelief before finally responding, “That’s not my intention at all.

    Ethan slowly pushed open the glass door of the café. A soft chime rang out as the Japanese-style furin wind bell swayed with the motion, prompting the woman behind the counter to glance up.Sunlight spilled in from behind him, casting a warm glow over most of his figure. He stepped out of the light, brimming with a quiet energy.Inside, a woman in a pink, French-style maxi dress held a little girl who looked to be around three years old.They were an adorable pair—mother and daughter alike.Ethan froze as soon as he saw her. He had to steady himself against the doorframe, unmoving for several seconds.In that brief moment, he studied her face intently. She looked young—surprisingly so for a mother. Twenty-five at most, he guessed.Her features were flawless, as striking as Maya’s, and she had a beauty that could easily leave someone breathless.But unlike Maya, this woman exuded a quiet elegance, a gentler grace.There was a soft smile on her lips, the kind that made her seem approach
