When Lust Meets Love Chapter 11 Spurious Woman

Nevertheless, she could not let herself walk away empty-handed. She had a binding contract with Anais where there would be a financial penalty for failure to deliver on what was requested.

It was an outcome Eleanor could ill-afford, so she had no choice but to turn to Casper.

He raised his eyebrows when he took the piece of paper over from her and read the numbers written on it. “How would I know whether you would honor your word?”

“Rest assured, Mr. Beaumont, that I’m only after the money. Once I have it, I will destroy all of the photos.”

She kept her composure and finished what she had to say before she turned and left. After all, she had no desire to squander more time here than she already had.

Casper cast his eyes in her direction until she had long disappeared from view.

He remembered seeing this same resolve from her seven years ago.

That night, this girl sat blindfolded before him. Even as her lithe body trembled, she insisted on keeping a straight face. He found it to be laughable, and at the same time, piteous.

Men were always sympathetic to this sort of girl.

Even the most aloof person had a soft spot.

And it was no different for him.

When Casper snapped out of his thoughts, he got to his feet and prepared to leave. Just then, at the corner of his eye, he spotted a card left lying on the carpet.

When Lust Meets Love Chapter 12 Stupidity Is A Contagious Disease

Eleanor let off a scoff and rolled her eyes in indifference. “I can’t believe a perfect boyfriend like Tyrell Rice will actually stand you up. I bet he’s wallowing in utter disgust after seeing his girlfriend on another man’s lap.”

Suri jerked and stared at her with her eyes wide as saucers. She scanned the surrounding nervously before coming closer and interrogated Eleanor in a low voice.

“How did you even find out about it? Did you tell Tyrell anything?”

Eleanor shrugged nonchalantly and pursed her lips. “Don’t point a finger at me without any proof.”

“You b*tch!” Suri could not hold it in any longer. She knew Eleanor must have done something behind her back.

“Suri, you’d better watch your mouth. I haven’t shown Tyrell anything. You have no right to call me names. Besides, you should’ve known there will be consequences for people who do shameful things like you. It’s just a matter of time before the whole world knows about it.”

“Don’t talk like you have any evidence of what I did. I can sue you for defamation!”

But Eleanor was totally unfazed by her threats. She raised her brows defiantly and looked at Suri straight in the eyes with a proud smile of victory curved on her lips.

“You know full well I’m not someone who throws baseless remarks at people without solid proof.”

Suri bit her lips and glared back in annoyance. She wanted to retaliate so badly, but she knew there was nothing she could do to Eleanor. Before long, she finally gave up and softened her tone. “What do you want? Money? I’ll pay you in exchange for those photos,” she proposed.

When Lust Meets Love Chapter 13 Did You Sleep With Him Yesterday

Although the apartment was small, it was immaculate. Everything was neat, tidy, and gleamingly cleaned.

A pleasing smell of delicious food wafted out from the kitchen and Eleanor could not help but trail her gaze towards the dining table. It seemed like Mike had prepared a meal.

She turned towards her son in surprise but was met with his chilly stare. The boy stood at the door, eyeing her from the top to the toe before letting off a cute scoff and walked away.

Eleanor quickly went after him and held him in her arms. “Mike, are you angry with Mommy? Mommy was working yesterday.”

Mike lifted his head and shot her a brief look. “I’m not angry. I’m just worried,” he said curtly.

A wave of sadness suddenly washed over Eleanor and she pulled her son closer and hugged him tight in her embrace.

Guilt ate away at her every time Mike behaved like a mature kid.

All she ever wanted was for him to have a happy and healthy childhood without worrying about anything.

But the twins were not in a good state when she delivered the babies prematurely. This was especially the case for Mike.

Eleanor almost broke down when they found out Mike was not breathing when he was born. The doctors and nurses were on the verge of giving up on him when he finally came around and they quickly resuscitated him.

And just like that, Mike came into her life and became the only consolation and purpose of her life.

The father of the twins had left when she brought Mike home with her. She never knew who that man was, and neither did she know what happened to the other baby boy.

Since then, her whole life revolved around making money. She wanted to give Mike a good education and a better living environment, where he could be free from all these nasty and gossiping neighbors.

When Lust Meets Love Chapter 14 Compensation

Everything escalated within a matter of seconds and everyone in the office was caught off guard. Seeing the two women got into a heated fight, the manager quickly went over to pull them apart.

“Please calm down, Ms. Greene. None of us wanted this to happen. We will make sure to compensate the damages in full as per the contract,” he assured.

“Do you think I want the money? I have to bear the consequences now that Mr. Beaumont knows about everything!” Anais cried out at the manager.

Eleanor shook her head, looking at Anais speechlessly.

You’re planned all this singlehandedly. And now you’re afraid? Do you expect someone else to bear the blame for you?

“Ms. Greene, are you trying to pass the buck now? It’s very selfish of you to just shirk responsibility like this. Have you ever thought about the damages I have to suffer?” Eleanor snapped.

“Stop talking like you’re taken advantage of. Tell me, what damages have you suffered?” Anais questioned and eyed her in disdain.

Eleanor’s lips quivered at her impertinent attitude. This woman had been walking all over her in front of everybody ever since she came in. “Ms. Greene, not everyone is interested in sleeping with another man like you are!”

Eleanor’s words triggered Anais and Anais pushed the manager away, charging towards Eleanor again.

“What did you just say?” Anais lashed out, choking her at the neck.

The manager came in between the two women and pulled Anais away. “Can’t you just shut up? Stop adding fuel to the fire!” the manager reprimanded, glaring at Eleanor.

Eleanor pouted her lips and looked away without another word.

When Lust Meets Love Chapter 15 Who Are You

Eleanor borrowed an umbrella from the front desk and took a secluded path towards the bus station. It was not long after she started walking in the rain that she realized someone was tailing her.

She turned around defensively and saw a few unscrupulous lads coming towards her.

“Who are y’all?” she cried out, her grip tightening around her umbrella.

One of them came closer as a sinister smile spread across his evil face. “Are you Eleanor?”

“No, I’m not. You got the wrong person,” she replied tersely, surveying the surrounding cautiously. There was no passerby and the rain was getting heavier.

“Don’t you dare lie in my face!” The man pushed her on the shoulder and shouted.

Eleanor faltered backward and fell on the wet ground.

The umbrella slipped out of her hand and she was drenched in no time as rain drummed mercilessly on her body.

Behind that man, his underling ran over and took out a photo from his pocket. He pulled Eleanor’s hair and took a cursory glance at her face. “Boss, it’s her!” he exclaimed.

Upon confirming they got the right person, the group surrounded her and ogled at her like a pack of wolves.

“Young lady, this is your unlucky day. Someone wanted us to teach you a lesson so you’d behave better next time,” the first man said.

Anais’ face popped up in Eleanor’s mind as she scanned the men nervously.

She knew Anais used to be a juvenile delinquent before she became a celebrity, so she was not surprised at all that Anais would do this to her.

“We heard that you like sleeping around with men? Why not we have a jolly good time together today?”

Lightning struck and thunder clapped, both were signaling an approaching storm.

Audrey Yang lay like a broken puppet on the dusty cement ground.  She slowly opened her eyes that were immediately greeted by the dark.

The moment she moved a muscle, sharp pain surged throughout her entire body.  She bit back her scream.

There were dark stains on the floor, which she guessed were blood.  It was then that she felt the cold rattle her bones.

Was she about to die?  It certainly felt like it.  But it was a feeling that she was not ready to accept.

She bit her lip and flinched at the fresh wave of pain.  She had not found her mother yet.  She still had a lot to live for, a lot of things to do.  She could not die in a dark, dirty room in the middle of nowhere.

As she struggled to breathe through the pain, she heard some footsteps approaching followed by a deep male voice that she would never forget.

Chapter 1 Back For Divorce

Scarlett's POV:

I checked the time again and sighed.   It had been one and a half hours since I flew in, and I had lost count of the times I had glanced at my watch.   My husband, Charles Moore, was nowhere to be found.   He was supposed to pick me up from the airport.   But he must be with his girlfriend right now.   I shook my head and smiled bitterly at the thought, stood up, and dragged myself and my luggage out of the airport.

I married Charles three years ago.   But shortly after our wedding, I received some good news from my dream university abroad.   I was accepted to one of their programs, so I left to study there.   Charles and I had not seen each other for three years.   While I was away, he was spending all his time with the woman he truly loved.

Now, I was finally finished with my studies and I came back home.   I wanted to end our nominal marriage.   I decided it was time for me to stop hoping for things that would never happen.

On my way home in a cab, I sent Charles a message that read, "We need to talk."

Before long, I was standing inside our empty house.   I set my luggage aside and headed to the living room.   I sat on the sofa and waited.   The house looked and smelled like no one had lived in it for years.   Our wedding photo was still hanging on the wall.   It offended and saddened me at the same time.

When she moved a bit, there beside was a warm and robust...  man's body?!!

Nicole immediately covered her mouth that she didn't scream right away.  Some vague memories flooded into her mind...

***

Last night, in dizzying, she was held by her bestie Fiona into a hotel room.

"Get in there you bitch! "  Fiona threw her heavily on the bed and firmly closed the door of the dimly lit room.

"Who are you?  How can you into here?"  That was a low, magnetic male voice.

Nicole only felt hot and there was fire arousing from her heart.  This feeling of exhilaration was weird and strange, wile this sexy male voice seemed to be inviting her.  She lost her last ounce of control and wrapped her arms around the man's neck and pressed her soft lips to him and passionately kissed him.

Chapter 1 Why Didn't He Care About Your Life

"Nobody picked up.  Are we sure she's Kenneth's wife?"

"How could I mess that up?  She's definitely married to Kenneth Powell.  I'm certain of it!"

"I've called him multiple times and sent messages saying we have his wife.  So, why no response?"

Selena Powell had been abducted.

She had gone out last night for a business meeting, thinking it was just about business.  However, it turned out to be a setup.

A night had passed, and with the ransom deadline drawing closer, the kidnappers grew nervous.

"Why isn't Kenneth reacting?  Doesn't he care about you?" one of the kidnappers snapped at Selena.

Trying to stay strong, Selena replied with a smirk on her bloodied lips, "Kenneth Powell is not the type to pick up any call.  Give me my phone, and I'll call him.  He'll answer it."

The kidnappers exchanged glances.  Their goal was clear;  they were after the money, and were not interested in actually harming anyone.  So they decided to give Selena's idea a shot.

Chapter 1 First Meeting

Sophia's POV:

A long and deep sigh escaped through my lips as I checked my wristwatch for I don't know how many times.  I've been sitting inside the coffee shop for almost forty-five minutes, but I still can't see even a glimpse of the person who texted me yesterday.  Mr. Daniel Kelley, the CEO of Kelley International Corporation, my 'so-called' fiance and a husband to be three weeks from now.

He said he wants us to meet and to see me personally before they announce our engagement party next week.  I agreed, so I cancelled my first practice appointment just to meet him.

Maybe you're confused about the engagement party.  How can be two people get engaged without knowing each other, or without even seeing each other?  Well, this is just a contractual marriage, so to be intimate with each other is not necessary.  We only need to be in this marriage for one year and after that, we're going to go in our separate ways again.

"Ten minutes.  No, five minutes.  Five more minutes and if he still don't show up himself, I'm gonna leave and I won't also show myself until the engagement party."  I muttered lowly while roaming my eyes inside the restaurant.

Chapter 1 Betrayal Unveiled

Luna Gibson was pregnant.

She headed home happily with the test report in her hands, all while she pondered on how to break the news to her husband, Joshua Lynch, as a surprise.  He had been overseas on a business trip for more than half a month, and he would finally return home tomorrow.

The moment she entered her home, however, she noticed a pair of ladies’ shoes that were not hers.  She frowned.

She recognized them.  It was her sister’s, Aura Gibson, and she just bought them not too long ago.

Was she not on that business trip with Joshua?

It was then she heard a woman’s voice that resounded from upstairs.

This voice… It was her sister, Aura’s voice!

Luna bit her lip as her body trembled inadvertently.  Which other man could it be if it was not her husband?

Instinctively, she raised her feet and walked upstairs.  The closer she got, the louder the voices of the man and woman that drifted out of the bedroom.

“What are we going to do when she comes back later?”  Compared to Aura’s soft, feminine purr, Joshua’s voice sounded particularly cold and deep.  “I don’t care.”

“She’s been dreaming of having your child for a long time now, but I beat her to it.  How do you plan to explain this to her?”

However, Jarred was a wonderful husband once they were married, doing everything a spouse should do.  He made sure Cheryl lived a good life and took good care of her.  Every year on their anniversary, he would ask his assistant to send Cheryl a gift.

He treated her with the utmost respect and dignity that a wife deserved.

It seemed to everyone else that they were the sweetest and most loving couple.

It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.

Inside a house, a man said coldly, “sign the divorce papers!  As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony.”

“Did I do something wrong again, Bruce? ” asked Joanna Haynes timidly.  She had always been a humble servant in front of him.

“Roxy’s back, and she doesn’t want to see you!  It’s time for our marriage to end.  So you have to go!”  Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch.  He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.

Joanna’s pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water.  She asked with shock, “You’re divorcing me because she’s back?  Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?”

“You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks.  Now that she’s back, I won’t make the same mistake.  Hurry up and sign the papers!  100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life.  You should consider it a bargain.”  Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.

Chapter 1 Let's Celebrate

“We finally did it!!”  Amy screeched in excitement, pumping her fist in the air as she took a large swing from the bottle of wine she had in her other hand.  Brent only chuckled in response as he watched her dance in the room, completely out of rhythm with the song , the alcohol being the main reason for her sloppy movement.

“Ooh” Amy cooed, grinning as she felt Brent wrap his hands around her waist.  Amy smiled contentedly as she snuggled more into his embrace, both of them moving slowly as the music had changed to a much slower one.

Ed Sheeran’s Perfect played through the speakers as Amy pondered just how much their life was going to change from tomorrow.

Amy and her boyfriend Brent had both decided to startup a company together.  It was a dream they both worked hard towards it together and after everything they’d been through as they struggled to achieve their goal, they finally got sponsors who were willing to invest in their company.  All that was left now was to submit the contract.

Amy felt like her life couldn’t possibly get any better as she had all she could ask for: a loving boyfriend and very soon, a successful company.
