Previously disobedient, thinking of running away with someone else? Is he hinting at her and Matthew? So, this chain, was he really planning to use it to tie her up?!
She thought he was joking.
She didn’t dare imagine if she hadn’t come to see him today. Would they have ended up meeting in some dark, windowless basement tonight, just like Maximus kidnapping Phoenix? What a creep!
But, what’s even creepier is, she was pushing at his legs for a while, urging him to get up, but Orion didn’t move.
Xanthea: Regretting it now is it too late to dump this psycho boyfriend?
“Being raised by you and still thinking of running away, that’s a bit ungrateful.”
Samuel chuckled, clearly picturing a confused little pet not realizing its owner is the wealthiest man in Crestwood, wondering where it could find such a privileged life elsewhere.
Xantheac Samuel, stop insulting me!
“Hmm
Onon glanced at the fuming girl, a subtle smile tugging at his lips, Tll make sure it learns its lesson.”
Xanthea bared her teeth and extended her sharp claws, scratching his pant leg.
“It’s getting late.” Samuel checked his watch, surprised at how long they’d chatted, “I need to get back to see Xan; I’ve missed her terribly these past few days.”
“Il walk you out, Mr. Nightshade.”
The sound of their steady footsteps faded away, and Xanthea finally relaxed, crawling out from under the desk.
“Phew.”
Having a legitimate boyfriend yet having to hide, felt like getting caught in an affair!
Thankfully, there was a rug on the floor, or her knees would definitely be bruised after kneeling for so long!
She settled into the chair, just about to stretch, when she noticed a fancy gift bag beside her. Curiosity, she opened it and found a complete set of women’s clothing, perfectly her size!
When she came out from the bathroom earlier, she had seen Orion with something in his hand–was it this gift bag?
He had sent someone buy clothes, but upon seeing her in his shirt, his desires flared, so he deliberately set aside the bag.
Such a beast!
After seeing Samuel off, Orion returned to the office to find the girl standing defiantly on the stairs, arms crossed, chin up, ready to give him a piece of her mind.
She was wearing a fiery red dress that hugged shapely figure, her freshly dried black curls falling past her waist, reminiscent of a stunning mermaid, so breathtakingly beautiful that his gaze darkened and he quickened his steps.
“Orion! mmph-”
Xanthea’s attempt to scold was cut short as he pulled her into a fierce embrace, kissing her fiercely.
“What are you doing, let me go! I haven’t even settled the scores with your
“It hurts, hurts.”
Her protests made Orion pause, his breath hitching as he stared at her tender, luscious lips, “What’s wrong? Did I bite you?”
“No.”
Xanthea bit her lip slightly, clutching the hem of her silk dress
‘Im chafed”
At her words, the man immediately understood, his dark eyes sparking with intensity, “And you still try to seduce me?” “Whos seducing you!”
