Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

Eve continued crying.

“I really don’t know what I should do. Your family doesn’t like me, and your mother always hates me. I just couldn’t deal with that anymore…” Eve said.

“But you can tell me about that! I never asked you to get along with them, right? And I’m always by your side, never asking you to change!” He yelled out angrily and continued, “But you never thought about how I felt! You made me believe that I betrayed you. At that time, I was so scared that I would lose you, and I felt very guilty for what I did. If not that I had doubts about the whole situation and decided to investigate it, you might have used it as an excuse to stay away from me forever, right?”

In those days, he thought of nothing but the fear of her leaving. He felt so anxious that he locked her up and didn’t allow her to go outside. He even sent a dozen bodyguards watching her bedroom.

“I’m so sorry for what I have done. But I really can’t get on well with your family. I’m not like you guys, so I’m not right for you. Damon, please let me go!” Eve cried out.

Damon’s mother was a very serious lady from a noble family, and she disliked Eve very much for being the wild child that she was.

Eve and Damon had met in Las Vegas many moons ago. They had had an impassioned one-night stand, never have thought that they might one day be married. But they did get married. Eve had been naive then and stupidly thought everyone was open-minded in the 21st century, but she realized she was totally wrong when she met his family. She still remembered the condescending look of her mother-in-law.

“Eve, you gotta remember that. I won’t let you go anymore. You are mine!” He said. After that, he kissed her and didn’t let her have a chance to refuse him.

Meanwhile, Francis went to check on Scarlett. When he pushed the door open, he noticed that Scarlett had kicked the quilt away but was now shivering. He went up to her and slowly picked up the quilt.

“Come on, it’s time to get up. Your son is figuring out how to walk all by himself. You definitely don’t want to miss it!” Francis said.

Scarlett went on sleeping,

“Well, if you don’t want to get up….”

“I’m awake!” Scarlett instantly said and stared at him with her bright eyes.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Does it still hurt?” Francis asked as he checked her wounds.

“Not as much as yesterday.” Scarlett shook her head.

“It’s time for breakfast! You’d better get up now!” Francis patted her butt and said.

“Where is Eve?” She raised her head to ask from under the quilt.

“On the bed!” Francis smiled.

“What?” Scarlett was surprised.

And then Francis pulled her out of the quilt and then dressed her and said, “If you want to see something interesting, you’d better get up right now; otherwise, it’ll be over, and you’ll have missed it!”

“Did Damon come here?” Scarlett asked curiously.

“I pity the guy. He wants his wife back so badly. He even came out all the way here just to get a chance to speak with her….”

“Aren’t they divorced?” Scarlett asked.

“Do you know how?” he said.

“I don’t know. Come on, tell me!” She said as she jumped on his back and wrapped her legs around his waist. With her hands around his neck, she looked like a little koala bear.

“Go wash your face and brush your teeth. Then have breakfast first!” He was urging her to get up quickly.

After they finished breakfast, Scarlett asked Francis to tell her what exactly had happened between Eve and Damon.

And then Francis told her everything about them. When she heard the whole story, she just clapped, “Wow, that was a wild start to finish! I never realized how brave and dignified a woman Eve really is….”

“Are you kidding me?” Francis asked in doubt.

“Does Damon even know what an amazing woman she is?” Scarlett asked.

“Of course. At first, he planned to wait for Eve to change her mind and come back to him. But he didn’t want to wait for any more, that’s why he came here.” Francis said.

“So, will they get remarried?” She asked.

“Definitely!” He said.

“Really? I don’t think so. Since Eve can go that far, there is no way she will change her mind and come back to him…” Scarlett was doubtful.

“Do you want to bet on that?” Francis said as he pinched her cheek lightly.

“Well, I’m not sure about that…” Scarlett said.

“Are you afraid? Aren’t you very good at gambling?” Francis smiled.

“Well, I’m done with that life!” She said as she had her arms around his neck and went on, “Just tell me what you think! I don’t want to bet!”

“Are you sure? You don’t know the stakes yet. Don’t you want to know?” Francis said, seeming as though he really wanted her to place a bet with him.

“What’s that? I gotta see if the stakes are good enough!” She looked up.

“If you win, I’ll buy you a top-of-the-line Lamborghini…” He said slowly.

When she heard that, Scarlett’s eyes lit up, and she became very excited. She grabbed his collar and said, “Deal! I’ll do that!”

“But there is a punishment waiting for you if you lose. Are you still sure you wanna place a bet?” Francis smiled. Suddenly he felt kind of lucky that Scarlett didn’t like to do business; otherwise, she would be cheated out of her fortune because she was really not good at doing business.

Scarlett came closer and rested a kiss on him and said flatteringly, “You are so nice to me, I guess you won’t hurt me, right?”

“Well, a bet is still a bet, you can’t mix it with emotions!” He said seriously.

“What are you gonna do to me if I lose?”

“Promise me one thing!” he said.

“What’s that? Don’t tell me your nasty thoughts!” She said.

“What are you thinking?” Francis said helplessly.

“I really don’t know! You have all kinds of nasty stuff floating around in that head of yours!” Scarlett looked at him with disdain.
