Wesley was clearly up to no good. Even Greta, who was standing next to Winnie, got ready to fight despite having an injured leg.Before the three of them could react, however, Christopher came back and sent the perverted Wesley flying with a kick.âWesley, please keep in mind that I am against sharing women. I will not go after the women you boys have slept with, so I expect you all to do the same with mine. You can screw any other woman you want in Lightspring but keep your filthy hands off her!â he shouted coldly with a stern look on his face.Wesley was furious when he scrambled to his feet, but he didnât dare talk back to Christopher, so he shot Winnie a vicious glare instead.âYou sure are a lucky one to be chosen by Chris! Do you see how strong and capable he is? Make sure you stay loyal to him, yeah? Donât go sleeping around with other men!âChristopher frowned when he heard the nasty things Wesley said.âThatâs enough from you! From now on, I want all of you to treat her with the same amount of respect that you show me!âWesley spat out a mouthful of blood as he turned around and yelled at the remaining teammates, âCome on, you heard the man! Itâs time to show her some respect!âThe other guys quickly saluted Winnie and addressed her respectfully, âMaâam!âWinnie kept her head low the entire time.Christopher shot her a glance before motioning at the innkeeper.âGet me a pen and paper right now!ââComing right up!â the innkeeper replied as he got to his feet.The innkeeper then grabbed a pen and paper and handed them over to Christopher, who scribbled a number on the paper and gave it to Winnie in front of everyone.âHere, this is my number. Give me a call if you need anything.
Iâll come to see you once Iâm done with work. If anyone dares bully you in Lightspring, just tell them youâre my woman. Those who mess with you will suffer my wrath.âWinnie knew Christopherâs words were meant for Wesley to hear, so she played along and nodded submissively at him in response. âAll right.âSure enough, Wesley gritted his teeth in anger when he saw that.Upon seeing his response, Christopher frowned and came up with a very bold idea.He leaned in close and gave Winnie a kiss on the lips.It was a quick and light peck, but their lips did indeed make contact with each other.Winnieâs eyes went wide with shock as she didnât see it coming.Christopher knew she would respond like this, so he quickly covered her eyes with his hands.His heart was racing out of excitement, and his feelings of guilt kept him from looking her in the eye.âAll right, you take care now. Iâll come back for you soon,â
Christopher said as he put his sunglasses back on and left with his men.Winnie instinctively turned to look at Xavier as soon as the car drove off, only to realize he was nowhere in sight.Oh, no⦠He definitely has the wrong idea now! I had better go explain to him what happened last night! Winnie was about to go look for Xavier when Greta ran over and whispered, âMs. Garland, that woman over there has been staring at us this whole time. Sheâs the one who slept with that Wesley guy last night. Iâm guessing the two of them are very close. She seems to be helping him keep an eye on you.âWinnie frowned when she heard that. âLetâs head back to the room,â she replied without looking back.âDonât worry; just follow my lead. Weâll make a left after going around the corner. If she follows us, Iâll catch her and give her a little beating. That ought to teach her a lesson. We canât survive out here unless we show them what weâre capable of,â Greta reassured her.Winnie nodded. âAll right. Iâll leave it to you, then.âInstead of leaving the inn, the two of them continued chatting casually as they made their way to the side and waited behind the corner.Minutes went by, but the woman never showed up.âHeh, sheâs gone. I bet sheâs too scared to follow us. She probably knows weâre going to jump her!â Greta said with a snicker after peeking around the corner.âForget about her, then,â Winnie mumbled with a distracted frown.âAll right. By the way, Ms. Garland, did you really sleep with that Chris guy last night? I was worried sick about you! I thought you mightâve been captured by those men!â Greta asked after a brief pause.Winnie shot her an annoyed glance. âWhy are you so nosy?ââOh, come on! Why do you look so surprised? Itâs in a womanâs nature to be nosy! You didnât think everyone in my profession would be all cold and emotionless, did you?âWinnie shot her another glance. âNo. You donât look like that kind of person at all.ââAre you really skilled in bed and stuff? Could you teach me a trick or two? I want to dominate my man in bed too! Did you see the affectionate look in Chrisâ eyes when he looked at you? I want my man to look at me the same way too!â Greta asked.Winnie didnât know whether to laugh or cry when she heard that.What the⦠What kind of question is this? No, I canât tell her the truth. All of Christopherâs men think I slept with him. It could spell disaster for him if word gets out that nothing happened between us!âIt was just to ensure my survival. I didnât have much of a choice. Look, this isnât exactly something Iâm proud of, okay? Donât bring it up ever again, especially in front of my man!â she said with a sigh.âHuh? Are you referring to the guy who came with you?â Greta exclaimed in shock.âDuh! He and I are staying in the same room! Is that not obvious enough?ââI thought he was just some toyboy you found off the streets. If he really is your man, then why didnât you go with him last night? My man and I are always together no matter what we do!âNot wanting to have that conversation with Greta, Winnie was about to tell her to shut up when a familiar voice rang out.âIâm really curious.
Why would you go as far as drugging me? Is it that hard for you to trust me?â Xavier asked with a deep frown on his face and a conflicted look in his eyes.Winnie found herself unable to read his emotions at all.
