They stared intently at each other, Adrian Desmond’s chest heaving with anger. He hadn’t had much contact with won in his life, but none were as sharp-tongued and overbearing as Sienna Johnson, who spared n no dignity.
"I don’t understand, why can’t you ever be reasoned with? Why can’t you show a little empathy for ?"
"..."
"...And why don’t you reflect on yourself? If you were half as gentle and considerate as lanie, we wouldn’t be arguing all the ti!"
Sienna’s eyes suddenly reddened. Adrian’s words were like a sharp knife piercing her chest. Her voice, no longer sharp, grew quieter.
"Adrian, if Miss Carpenter is so great, why don’t you go live with her? If I’m so terrible, why won’t you let go?"
"..."
"Am I being unreasonable? I think you’re the one who’s unreasonable. Did I throw myself at you, or stop you from marrying your Fiancee? No! I just asked you to choose—if you want to marry Miss Carpenter, then let go!"
"..."
"Adrian, who do you think you are? Do you really believe that without you, I’d never be able to marry anyone else? Believe , if I just beckon, there’ll be a line of n waiting to marry !"
"..."
"Why should I be your mistress? Why should I share a man with other won? Am I out of my mind?"
"..."
"Adrian, just how shaless do you have to be to say sothing like that?"
No one had ever talked back to Adrian like this, especially not a woman. Won who spoke to him usually did so with lowered heads, full of reverence and fear. But this woman!
She challenged his male authority ti and ti again, trampling his good intentions underfoot, crushing them!
"If it weren’t for your pregnancy, I’d give you a serious beating to teach you a lesson!" he glared at her viciously, fists clenched, looking as if he were truly about to strike her.
Disappointed, Sienna was utterly disillusioned with the man before her. "If I don’t love you anymore, I won’t be jealous anymore."
"..."
"Adrian, I’ll try my best to reclaim every bit of love I have for you. Once I stop loving you, you can marry as many won as you want, and I won’t object or try to stop you."
"..."
"As you wish, I won’t argue with you anymore! Marry as many won as you want!"
Sienna had fought for it, she had tried. Since Adrian couldn’t give her the exclusive love she desired, she could only retract her own.
"Adrian, are you satisfied now?"
This wasn’t the outco he wanted. Pain surged through his heart in waves. "Do as you please!" Adrian glanced coldly at Sienna and strode away.
The door to the room slamd shut behind Adrian, the sound making their ears throb.
Sienna rubbed her temples, a headache already blooming. What a headache...
"Mai..." Seeing Adrian storm off, Selena Robertson peeked her head out and called to her cautiously.
"He’s gone. Co in."
"Did you two argue again?"
"Is it strange that we argue?" Sienna and Adrian’s argunts had beco frequent—minor squabbles every few days, major fights almost as often. Sienna had grown used to it.
Selena Robertson walked in, wanting to offer a few words of comfort, but ultimately remained silent.
In a luxurious, grand room, the most conspicuous feature was an enormous bed, large enough to comfortably sleep ten people or more.
On the bed, one man and five voluptuous won were engaged in a sensual, nosebleed-inducing spectacle.
A bodyguard dressed in black entered. Unfazed by the sight of the five naked won on the bed, he reported, "Boss, I’ve confird it. The woman’s na is Mai. She’s Adrian Desmond’s mistress."
"Oh?" Maxwell Bradford pushed away the woman entwined around him and sat up straight. Of mixed Abyanabad and Mousden descent, his features were more Westernized—sharp and deep-set. The dark hair on his chest added to his rugged, masculine appeal.
"So, Adrian has a woman too... I always thought that ’thing’ of his didn’t work."
Adrian Desmond had always been aloof from won. Even with a Fiancee, she was rely for show, untouched.
"Boss, Adrian Desmond is back in Abyanabad. It seems he’s co for you. Our recent business troubles have all been his doing."
Maxwell Bradford and Adrian Desmond were mortal enemies.
Maxwell had killed Adrian’s parents. After coming of age, Adrian had killed Maxwell’s wife and mother. Maxwell’s only son was now missing.
Maxwell Bradford issued an order, "I want Mai! Snatch her from Adrian Desmond’s side! Adrian killed my wife; I’ll have his woman bear a son! This ti, there can be no mistakes!"
Maxwell was referring to the previous kidnapping of lanie Carpenter. He had sent so many people, yet she had still managed to escape.
"Yes, Boss!"
Maxwell Bradford slipped on a robe and rose, walking into an adjacent room. This room housed a large projector, which cast an image of Sienna Johnson onto the wall.
She wore a Himakati Ao Dai, her srizing eyes held a faint smile, and her lips were incredibly sensual. It was no wonder Adrian was captivated. This woman possessed a kind of magic, a fatal allure that drove n mad for her.
Maxwell Bradford wanted this woman!
If sleeping with lanie Carpenter felt sowhat forced, then sleeping with Sienna Johnson... that he would do willingly. This woman was so beautiful, any man would want to possess her.
"My little beauty, co to . I’m much stronger than that sissy Adrian Desmond..." Maxwell Bradford sneered, his gaze fixed on Sienna Johnson’s photo with an obsessive, predatory glint in his eyes.
While Maxwell Bradford plotted against Sienna Johnson, she remained completely oblivious. She was still consud by Adrian Desmond’s intention to marry lanie Carpenter, confronting him daily and infuriating him.
"Mai, Sixth Master is back..." Selena Robertson gently woke Sienna Johnson.
Since becoming pregnant, Sienna had beco exceptionally sleepy. It was now past ten at night, and Sienna was extrely grumpy when woken.
"He’s back, so what? Why are you calling ?"
"Sixth Master is drunk and making a scene, demanding to see you."
"Not seeing him!" Sienna pulled the covers over her head and tried to go back to sleep. Selena Robertson tugged the blanket from her head, pleading, "Mai, please, just go see him for a mont. Sixth Master is still raising a ruckus; if you don’t go down, none of us will get any sleep tonight."
"What’s he doing back so late?" Sienna fud.
I’ve already compromised, so why can’t he just give it a rest and let everyone live in peace?
"Sixth Master has been going through a lot lately."
"What’s he got to be upset about? I haven’t argued with him recently. I agree to whatever he says."
"Sigh..." Kiki no longer tried to persuade Sienna Johnson and Adrian Desmond to get along peacefully. The two of them were now like a bickering couple, arguing whenever they t.
