Of course, this was all Marcus’s doing, with a little help from me.
I used the shares of Hall Corp that I held to help Marcus bring the company down, just as Carter had taken down the Thomson family years ago.
Late at night, when the world was quiet, the powerful Mr. Dale transformed into a completely different person, like a puppy wagging its tail, asking for a reward,
I sighed and shook my right hand, showing off the ring.
The enormous diamond sparkled brightly under the light.
“I’m already yours. What more do you want?”
He snuggled up to me, whining, “Honey, I’m starving for you right now.”
His soft bangs tickled me, making my whole body itch. I couldn’t help but laugh as I planted a quick kiss on his cheek
That kiss seemed to flip a switch inside him. He grinned mischievously and started gently undoing my clothes.
My body tensed up immediately.
I had healed a lot under his love and care, but some scars still lingered in my heart, creeping into my life unexpectedly.
Marcus sensed my hesitation right away and stopped. He pulled me into his arms, resting his head in the crook of my neck. His right hand gently patted my back.
