Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law

Trouble

Max's expression changed seeing that the call was disconnected. Immediately, he knew that something was wrong.

"Mr. Max, if I may ask, what's wrong?" Ethan frowned when he saw Max's unnatural expression.

"How many minutes from here to the Four Seasons hotel?" Max asked, ignoring Ethan's question.

"It should take about thirty minutes."

"I want to get there in ten minutes."

"Sir, the fastest route ignoring all road rules, you'll get there in fifteen minutes."

"Fine." Max frowned.

"Yes sir," Ethan replied and rushed out of his office while Max followed closely.

Getting to the garage of the company, Ethan got into a car that Max was sure was his. But then it was none of his concern.

Soon the engine of the car came to life and Ethan drove out of the company at a very high speed ignoring everything.

"I'm sorry Mr. Lucas, but I can drink anymore, we've not even had the chance to talk about the contract." Michelle rejected the toast, her face blushing red as she managed to keep herself from losing consciousness.

In front of her was a slightly handsome young man with a smirk on his face. The lust in his eyes was visible as he stared at Michelle.

He was Lucas, the heir to the Carlos family, a very popular playboy who treats women as he treats clothes. He was very famous among the girls in the city.

He could very much appreciate Rachel for setting up Michelle in such a way. There was no way she was going to be able to escape from his grip.

He was going to see if her useless husband was still going to want her after he finished using her. She was very pretty and was the dream of many men. He wondered how such a good-for-nothing had gotten her.

His eyes couldn't help but burn with envy and anger thinking that Mark must have touched her before.

Michelle on the other hand had a scowl on her face. Getting here, she realized that she was set up by her mother. Indeed, the company did win the contract, but then coming to the hotel to sign the contract there was no such thing.

Her mother had already taken care of it so she was just here to sleep with this distasteful young master who didn't know any but flaunt his weight around.

She found Mark better than him in many ways. Realizing she was in a trap, she quickly called Max and hoped that he was going to arrive right before the young master would do anything to her.

"Ma'am, I'm sure you've not had enough, besides it's just a toast, don't tell me you can't hold your alcohol, besides it's just a fruit juice," Lucas smirked as she stared at Michelle.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think I can go any further than this, I'm at my limits already," Michelle sighed and shook her head.

"I'm afraid you can't refuse as you'll be refusing my mind gesture." Lucas frowned, his voice turning hostile all of a sudden.

Michelle frowned but she didn't say anything. She was well aware that she wouldn't be able to do anything until Max arrived.

But then would he be able to arrive at the right time to save her? She hoped that was the case.

"Ma'am, please let's have this last toast." Lucas smiled and stretched his hands forward with the glass cup in his hand clinking it with Michelle's.

Michelle frowned, but then she had no other choice but to drink the fruit juice. Even though she was sure that the juice was spiked, she had no other choice but to take it.

Immediately the juice got into her system, Michelle felt her body become hot and she had the feeling to take off her clothes. Her face had become as red as tomatoes at this moment.

"Ma'am, are you alright?" Lucas asked with a concerned smile.

"I'm fine, don't come near," Michelle replied hurriedly and took her bag wanting to leave.

She couldn't stay any longer as she was afraid she might lose control. She was having a problem keeping her head clear.

"Ma'am, I'm afraid it's not a good act to leave your guest unattended to, you didn't even say goodbye and just want to leave," Lucas smirked.

Michelle turned to glare at Lucas, her eyes burning with fury and desire at the same time as she was finding it hard to control the fire burning within her.

"I'm sure you know it's not good to stare at people this way, it'll make them lose their cool." Lucas smiled as she stared at Michelle.

"Idiot." Michelle cursed as she tried to rush out.

Just as she was about to get to the door, she fell to the floor unable to move a muscle.

"What did you do to me?" Michelle gritted her teeth as she glared at Lucas.

"Nothing much, I just spiked your drink with an aphrodisiac and a little bit of some other things."

"You beast!" Michelle cursed.

"You'll know sooner if I'm a beast or not," Lucas smirked as he approached Michelle slowly, his eyes burning with lust.

He didn't care at the moment and the only thing he could care about was to take Michelle at that place head-on.

At the moment, he wasn't thinking with his head but with his lower body. He was an example of the men who were said to think with the lower part of their body.

Well, he could care less about anything.

"I'll make sure you regret it if you touch me," Michelle muttered weakly as her senses were overclouded.

"Let's see if you have the power to make me pay," Lucas smirked as he approached Michelle.

"Please leave me alone, don't touch me," Michelle begged weakly, there was no need for her to struggle.

She couldn't move so she could only accept her fate.

"It would be very inhumane of me not to help such a beautiful lady in need," Lucas smirked.

"Please..."

Lucas smiled as he unbuckled his trousers ready to get into action.

Bang!

"How dare you!"

The door flew open and a roar came along with it, sending Lucas to his feet as he stood up to look at the intruder.
