She tried to move her body, but the discomfort in her lower body made her hiss

Clayton stretched out his arm and hu

Thugged her. “Are you awake? Let’s sleep a bit more,” he said, his half awake voice magnetic and mellow.

Isabella’s heart skipped a beat, Feeling his burning body against hers, she wanted to dodge but was held even tighter.

“Don’t move, or you will bear the consequences,” said Clayton.

Isabella stiffened as she clearly

rly felt that both of them didn’t have their clothes on. Her face blushed in the darkness, and she was too scared

to move.

The memories of last night slowly came back to her. She vaguely recalled being carried to the bathroom and cleaned twice. She had been so exhausted that she couldn’t even lift her fingers.

Feeling her stiffness, Clayton chuckled. “Are you shy, my dear wife?”

He lightly licked her earlobe, making her tingle all over and uncomfortable. She instinctively inched backward, but Clayton leaned over again. and pressed himself against her. “Don’t avoid me. Be good. Let me hold you a little longer,” he whispered gently, his voice coaxing.

At this point, Isabella was so afraid that she dared not breathe.

“You are my dear wife. You will be mine for the rest of your life. Be a good girl and let me love you. I will always be by your side, and I will make you happy,” Clayton said contentedly and drowsily, with a hint of pleading in his amorous words.

Isabella could only let him hug her and stop moving. It was her first time to have sex. Unable to withstand the fatigue, she fell back to sleep.

The next time she woke up, Clayton was gone.

The sunlight shone through the heavy curtains and glimmered the room,

Seeing there w

was no one in the r

room, Isabella sat up.

The discomfort in her body had alleviated significantly compared to when she woke up the first time.

Isabella got out of bed and stood barefoot on the carpet. She went to look for her clothes, but they were nowhere to be found.

After thinking for a while, she walked to the wardrobe and opened the sliding door, Inside were all men’s shirts, and they were black and white. She checked the sizes and found that they were all the same size. She had no choice but to pick out a white one.

She then took the shirt and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Standing in the spacious bathroom, Isabella exclaimed, “This bathroom is way too extravagant. It’s so much bigger than my bedroom at homel”

When she stood in front of the bathroom mirror, Isabella gasped at her body covered with bruises.

‘Damn it. That man is such a pervert! Since he likes leaving marks so much, I’ll buy a set of stamps and stamp his entire body tomorrow,‘ she cursed inwardly.

After a quick shower, she felt much better and calmer. Then, she put on the white shirt. After putting it on, she was aghast at Clayton’s height, as his shirt reached down to her knees. She had no choice but to make do for now. “I’ll just pretend that I’m wearing a dress, she thought.

She walked out barefoot and glanced at the large bed. As soon as the events flooded into her mind, Isabella shook her head, trying to take her mind off it. She walked toward the window and opened the curtains. However, the sun was too blinding, so she closed the curtains and went straight to the couch.

Too many things had happened these two days, and she had not managed to digest everything.

It was even harder for her to stay clear–headed when she was in front of Clayton. Many things had gone off track and gotten way out of hand. She had to think about it carefully and not be swayed by Clayton,

Moreover, she had to get all her money back. She wanted to make him return the favor to her tenfold.

Isabella rubbed her hair vigorously in annoyance as she cursed inwardly, ‘Clayton is such a jerk! I’ve lost out this time!

Hendrix, who was ordered to investigate Nathan and Isabella, soon obtained all the information about the two with ease. As someone who had always been responsible for collecting information, he had his own specific channels to do that. No one had the nerve to hide or refuse to provide Hendrix with the information he wanted thus far. Besides, given their simple backgrounds, he had no difficulty in looking into

them.

However, he was shocked by what he found in the end.

It was a video provided by a media outlet. Before sending Hendrix the video, they had informed Hendrix that the video had been heavily suppressed and had to be ensured that it didn’t leak.

Hendrix was transfixed by the video on his computer. After watching the entire video, he took off his headset, picked up a glass of water, and gulped it down.

He looked at his computer again, then stood up and went to the pantry in the corner to pour himself another glass of ice water. Afterward, he stood there blankly.

After settling everything down, Kayson returned to the company. As soon as he went upstairs, he saw Hendrix, who seemed to be spacing out. Kayson asked listlessly, “What’s wrong, Hens? You look like you’ve been struck by lightning.” He slumped into his chair, exhausted. He didn’t know if Clayton would be satisfied with the work he had done.

“Kayson, where have you been?” Hendrix asked dully.

After a short pause, Kayson perked up. He sat up straight to look around, only to find that Weston was missing, and Clayton had gone out with Johnny. Only then did he feel relieved.

He waved at Hendrix and lowered his voice. “I’m going to decorate Moonlight Apartment, which is next to University of Moulmore, for Boss. Didn’t he say that he wanted to live with his wife? The lady who came this morning was thrown out straight away. Could it really be Ms. Vaughn7”

After a momentary pause, Hendrix turned around and took another glass of ice water.

“Are you feeling hot?” Kayson asked curiously.

Hendrix didn’t respond. He walked past Kayson, toward his seat, then pulled him over with the chair.

“What… What

are you doing? Hens,

doing? Hens, what are you doing?” Kayson was dragged to Hendrix’s desk.

Without saying a word, Hendrix put the headset on Kayson.

“Holy shit!” Halfway through the video, Kayson jumped out of his chair.

Hendrix pressed him back to his seat and motioned for him to continue watching.

“Damn!” When Kayson jumped out of his chair again, Hendrix didn’t stop him and handed him a glass of ice water.

“Calm down,” said Hendrix.

Kayson immediately drank the water in one gulp. What did he see? A woman volunteered herself to propose to Clayton.

And how did Clayton, their perennially aloof boss, respond? He agreed.

Just then, Weston came in with a pile of documents in his arms and put them on the table. He looked at the two dumbfounded men and asked, “What’s wrong? Did someone cast a spell on you? I have a lot of documents to sort out here. Come and help me!”

Hendrix and Kayson pulled Weston over together. “Wes, those documents are not as important as this one. Come and have a look!”

It was not until they saw Weston’s expression, as if his eyes were about to fall out, that Hendrix and Kayson finally felt relieved.

Weston murmured, “If it weren’t for the pictures, I mean, the video, I’d rather die than believe that that person is our boss. Is that really him?”
