A Kiss and a Plot
It was seductive and hypnotic, and Anastasia was dumbfounded for a while.
Anastasia struggled as if her life depended on it, unwilling to lose her sense of self in those eyes.
However, right then, the man was already reaching out greedily and touching her exquisite face. “Miss
Tillman, it’s such a wonderful night. It will be a pity if we don’t do something romantic.”
Anastasia was in Elliot’s arms now, enveloped in his fragrance. She was invaded by the fiery light in the
depths of his eyes, letting down her guard a little. She fought to get her sense of reason back and
reached out to push him away.
However, in the next second, the man lowered his gaze and cut off all her chances of escape. He
kissed her forcefully, his tongue exploring her mouth and stealing her sweet essence.
This is horrible! Anastasia thought, but she felt her determination wavering. She was also holding back
when she pushed him just now. What’s going on?
Anastasia couldn’t help but curse her hesitation, which was why this man thought her a vulnerable
victim. That was why he would take advantage of her in the corridor in the middle of the night. But this
man’s kiss wasn’t something she hated.
She actually experienced a sense of wonder and expectation. This man had dug out her hidden
excitement and awakened her sleeping passion.
The kiss was like a fire that burned Anastasia’s reasoning away. Some time later, in addition to their
already loosely clothed bodies, the man’s more dangerous spot had startled Anastasia back to her
senses. She would only permit one kiss, and anything further than that would be considered crossing
the line.
“It’s getting late… Go to sleep!” Anastasia struggled and finally broke free of him, then turned her back
on him, expressing her rejection with her entire being.
Elliot didn’t force her. He just leaned in close to her ear and spoke in his alluring voice. “Whatever we
left off tonight, I will continue in my dreams.”Anastasia felt her mind explode. This man even wanted to
dream of such things? When she turned around, only the aura of the man’s hormones remained. The
man himself had left.
It was just one sentence, but Anastasia couldn’t stop blushing about it.
She felt dizzy as she lay on the bed, and the kiss came to her mind as soon as she closed her eyes.
Her body was heating up for some reason.
What was wrong with her? She went to sleep in a daze, and she could no longer differentiate dreams
from reality. No matter what, she was blushing both in and out of sleep.
The next morning, Anastasia opened her eyes and noticed that it was already late in the morning. She
got out of bed in annoyance at the absence of her biological clock.
She went downstairs and prepared breakfast for the servants, whereas her son and Elliot were in the
field. The little guy fell in love with this patch of grass, and once he got hold of a soccer ball, he could
play there all day.
It had been a long time since she had time to relax and enjoy the morning. Anastasia found a spot from
where she could watch her son play soccer, and then she sipped her morning coffee as she watched
her son run around in the sunlight. This was one of her happiest moments as a mother.
However, Anastasia still felt her attention drawn to the man in sports attire. He was wearing a gray top
paired with black sweatpants. As he stood among the grass, he appeared large, mighty, and imposing.
There was a constant, strong, and domineering aura about him.
Anastasia bit her lip and couldn’t help but recall what happened last night. She was once again
troubled, and she made up her mind that such things must never happen again.
Never!
She then mocked herself. She had sworn the exact same thing more than once, but it always seemed
to fail. When faced with this man, no single oath she swore could be kept.
In another villa area, Hayley didn’t get much sleep throughout the night. Her eyes were red as she took
her phone and dialed Daniel’s number. As soon as the call went through, she ordered, “Daniel, I want
to see Elliot. Help me think of a way.”
On the other end of the line, Daniel thought for a few seconds before answering, “This Saturday, Old
Madam Presgrave will be celebrating her 70th birthday. President Presgrave is already preparing for it,
so you can find an opportunity to let him know that you want to attend and celebrate Old Madam
Presgrave’s birthday.”
Hayley was elated. “Really? Then what should I do?”
“You can look through old news articles; there should be reports of the exact time of Old Madam
Presgrave’s birth. You can ask President Presgrave to bring you to the celebration with him. He’ll most
probably agree,” Daniel suggested.
