Just like that, three days had passed without a trace of Matthew.
But today, Elva received word that he would return. So, in the afternoon, she headed to the mall and
bought an extremely sexy set of black lace lingerie.
Not content with just the lingerie, she also managed to get her hands on a drug guaranteed to drive any
man wild.
Her body, scarred and played with by Matthew for two years, was nothing more than a tool for his
pleasure in his beastly eyes, long stripped of any allure.
She had to spice things up if she was to succeed..
But to gain access to Matthew’s study, she had to take the initiative to strike, to seduce.
Time was running out. She had to take the risk. No matter the risk, she had to succeed in one try!
That evening, Matthew returned to the Chambers Estate.
He went straight to his study upon arrival, without so much as a glance at Elva.
After bathing in rose–scented body wash and smoothing on silky lotion from head to toe, Elva wrapped
herself in a robe and carried the “Love Nourishing Soup” she had prepared, mustering all her courage
to push open the door to the study.
At that moment, Matthew was sitting in front of his computer with a sly smile.
Alerted by the sound of the door, he shot a furious glare at Elva and barked, “Who gave you permission
to come in? Get out!”
“Matthew,” Surprisingly, Elva boldly approached him, her voice sultry and soft, very enticing. In his
memory, this timid woman was always trembling in fear around him, and utterly uninteresting. This
sudden change piqued Matthew’s curiosity. This sudden change piqued Matthew’s curiosity.
“What do you want?”
“I’ve prepared some nourishing soup for you. You’ve been working so hard lately. Come and have
some.”
Elva leaned forward to place the bowl on the coffee table, revealing a tantalizing glimpse of her
cleavage.
Matthew stared at her chest, his gaze darkening as he stood up and walked over. He sat on the sofa,
picked up the soup bowl, and drank half of it.
Elva’s eyes darkened with determination. She slipped off the robe, revealing the seductive lingerie
underneath. “Matthew, can we…tonight?”
Matthew’s pupils contracted with desire, his blood boiling!
The drug’s aphrodisiac effect, combined with the ultimate temptation of the woman before him, made it
difficult for Matthew to control himself. He grabbed her arm roughly and pulled her into his embrace.
In a split second, Elva pretended to be careless and spilled the remaining half bowl of soup on
Matthew.
‘Oh! Matthew. I really didn’t mean to!”
“No worries, sweetheart. No harm done,” he murmured, his words lewd as he eagerly kissed her neck.
“Don’t rush. You should go wash off; you smell like chicken soup, and it’s quite a mood–killer,” Elva said
with a blush, pushing him away with a coy resistance that only enticed him more.
Matthew hadn’t indulged himself in three days and surely wanted to have a comfortable go at it. So,
while kissing her and fumbling with his tie to quench an immediate thirst, he hurriedly dashed into the
bathroom to wash up.
Seeing him leave, Elva wiped her mouth in disgust, immediately sprang to her feet, and ran to the
computer.
She pulled out a USB drive hidden in her hair bun and plugged it into the computer. It was a gift from a
friend, who would be waiting up all night to fight alongside her.
A dialogue box popped up as the Trojan virus infiltrated the computer system
The progress bar began to load!
On the other end, in Silverlake Harbor-
Thaddeus sat beside his lady, awestruck by the blur of her fingers dancing across the keyboard. The
scene that had once dazzled him was unfolding again!
“How long will it take? Thaddeus asked anxiously
“An average hacker would need five minutes, but that’s too long. I’m aiming for three,” she replied with
steely determination, her eyes fixed on the scrolling green code on the screen, her brow beaded with
sweat. “I can’t communicate with Elva, but I know the opportunity she got to approach Matthew’s
computer must not have come easily. Every extra minute adds to her danger!”
Thaddeus‘ jawline tensed, sweating for both Elva and even more for Evadne. His own hacking skills
were of the five–minute variety; he couldn’t help at all.
The heavy lifting had to be done by his remarkable little woman.
The sound of the shower echoed from the bathroom.
Elva’s eyes were glued to the progress bar on the screen, which had reached 50%. Her heart pounded
in her throat.
If Matthew discovered she had touched his computer, she would surely pay with her life at the hands of
that beast!
Just as the progress bar hit 90%, it froze!
At the same time, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped!
In an instant, Elva’s heart seemed to count down, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over
her, soaking her entire body with cold sweat.
She heard Matthew’s footsteps approaching the bathroom door, and her heart plummeted in despair.
It was over!
But just as the bathroom door swung open, the remaining 10% loaded in an instant, and the dialogue
box disappeared from the screen.
Elva quickly removed the USB drive and flung it into the deepest part of the bottom shelf.
Her hanging heart finally settled, and her lips curved into a satisfied smile.
That night.
Evadne and Thaddeus stayed up, watching the videos stored on Matthew’s computer. The echoes of
helpless cries and screams filled the room, reminiscent of a hell on earth. Among those videos were
two even featuring Elva.
Matthew must have been using them as leverage to enslave Elva and the entire West family for life.
After watching everything, dawn had broken. Evadne closed the laptop, tears streaming silently down
her face as she leaned into Thaddeus‘ broad embrace.
“I wonder how Ms. West is doing now.”
“Ms. West is a wise woman, and fortune favors the brave. She’ll be alright,” Thaddeus reassured her,
his fingers gently caressing her shoulder as he planted a comforting kiss.
“I should’ve used a safer method, even if it was slower. I shouldn’t have let her take such a risk.”
Evadne trembled with guilt in his arms, “I’m afraid she’ll end up like Erica.”
Thaddeus, understanding the shadows that haunted her, tenderly held her cool hand, kissing her palm
and fingertips over and over, whispering softly to ease her anxious heart.
‘No. The West family may have fallen, but she’s still the precious daughter of the West family, a
legitimate member of the Chambers family. Matthew won’t easily harm her.”
Hearing this, Evadne nuzzled her head against his chest, her emotions settling down a notch.
That’s why this time, we have to take down Matthew. It’s the least we owe Elva and those other girls
who suffered because of him: ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Meanwhile, at The Velvet Haven, Avery was looking over the evidence he’d collected against Matthew,
his expression one of amused detachment.
At the same time, a share transfer agreement lay before him.
It was the second gift he had prepared for his big brother,
As soon as he got his hands on the shares that Matthew held, he would have absolute control over the
entire Chambers Group Then, kicking Jeff off the throne would be as easy as ple
With these thoughts, a wicked smile couldn’t help but spread across his lips.
Just then, Harvey walked in with a decanter of fine red wine.
“Mr. Chambers, there has been some movement from the Fairhaven group recently.”
