Become the Wife of A CEO

Seemingly, Horace remained calm when Darren showed him those photos. But in fact, he was furious inside.

Horace couldn’t calm down.

He could tell that those photos were taken by a hidden camera, so they might be taken two years ago.

Horace had heard a lot about what happened two years ago, and Clara had also made it clear to him. Clara was drugged back then, so she was not to blame. However, those pictures did infuriate Horace!

As long as Horace thought of the scene where Clara was having sex with other men, the rage began to burn inside him!

If it weren’t for the fact that Horace had improved his self-control over the years, he would have thrown a hit at the table.

Horace was also angry with Darren.

Horace wondered whether Darren was getting his revenge on Clara or trying to alienate Clara from him.

Regardless of what Darren wanted to do, Horace decided to stop Clara from working with Horace. Otherwise, Clara would be in danger again.

Thus, Horace asked Clara to change a job, but Clara refused without hesitation.

Horace didn’t understand why Clara refused.

Did it mean that Clara didn’t want to leave Darren?

Thinking of this, Horace thought it was childish of him to think so. Nonetheless, this idea kept haunting him.

When Horace thought of the photos, his face turned cold. He put down the fork and added, “You don’t want to leave Darren, right?”

Clara’s face turned pale.

She didn’t expect Horace to say so.

Did Horace think that Clara still loved Horace and would cheat on him?

Although Clara married Horace accidentally, she attached great importance to their marriage, so she would never cheat on Horace.

Hence, what Horace said almost split Clara inside.

“Horace, what do you mean?” Her tone was cold. “Do you think I cheat on you?”

Clara admitted that she was a little too sensitive now.

But Clara really couldn’t stand it. Darren’s sarcasm and insults, together with the photos, made her on the brink of a nervous breakdown.

Clara had originally thought that Horace would at least believe her. To her disappointment, Horace regarded her as a dissolute woman as well.

Horace didn’t expect Clara to react so strongly. He frowned. “I didn’t mean that. Just go on with your meal.”

Horace didn’t want to talk about it anymore, but Clara put down the tableware and said in a low voice, “I’m full.”

With that, she wanted to get up and leave the table.

Before she got up, Horace got up abruptly, put her hands on both sides of her chair, and imprisoned her on the chair.

“Horace, what are you doing?” Clara raised her eyes in a panic and stared at Horace’s handsome face.

Horace’s eyes were dark. He looked at Clara and said in a low voice, “Clara, is there something you’re not telling me?”

Horace knew Darren well. Darren was always impulsive, so he must have asked Clara about the photos after receiving them.

Besides, Clara looked very absent-minded, so she must have seen the photos.

Nevertheless, she didn’t say anything to Horace.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

This made Horace even more annoyed.

Why did Clara hide it from him? Clara was wronged, but she didn’t tell this to Horace, her husband. Instead, she decided to continue working for that magazine.

Horace didn’t know what he was angry about, but seeing Clara’s pale face and watery eyes, he was burning with rage.

“Clara, answer my question!” Clara remained silent, so Horace was even angrier. He squeezed her chin and forced her to look at him.

Clara felt a little bit hurt, with tears trickling down her cheeks. She glared at Horace. “Horace, what the hell is wrong with you?”

Horace was almost crazy.

Looking at Clara’s flushed face and tearful eyes, Horace thought she was extremely tempting!

However, Horace was haunted by the photos and what Darren said. In the end, Horace couldn’t help it.

Horace lowered his head and kissed Clara on the lips before she could exclaim.

Horace had just wanted to give a warning kiss. Nonetheless, when he kissed Clara, he was stunned by the faint fragrance coming from her lips.

This tempting smell was typical of Clara.

The next second, Horace was tempted. He couldn’t help sticking his tongue down her throat.

Clara was shocked with her eyes wide open.

This was the second time that Horace kissed her. Compared with the last time, this kiss was obviously more touching.

At first, Clara was struggling to push Horace away, but it didn’t work no matter what she did.

After a while, Clara was almost short of breath. Her face was flushed, and she was too breathless to struggle but slumped in Horace’s arms.

After a moment or two, Horace saw that Clara’s face was flushed red, so he let go of her reluctantly.

Horace straightened up. His jealousy was vented a little by the kiss.

Seeing Clara’s swollen lips, Horace felt a little sorry for her. He reached out, caressed her lips, and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry. Did I hurt you?”

Clara bit her lip and didn’t answer.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Clara’s look, Horace said in a cold voice, “Why do you hate me so much for kissing you?”

This reminded Horace of what happened on the bed last time, so his eyes darkened.

Clara didn’t know what to say but felt exhausted all over. She pushed Horace away, got up, and left the dining room.

Horace stared at her back but did not get up to chase after her.

Horace did not sleep in the master bedroom this night, and Clara was unable to sleep alone.

The next day, Horace left before Clara woke up.

After finishing breakfast alone, Clara went to the company. Before she sat down on her chair, Darren quickly walked out of his office.

With a frown, Clara wanted to go to the toilet to avoid meeting him. However, Darren pointed at her and said,

“Clara, are you available this afternoon? Come with me to Solrace for an interview.”
