Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

Scarlett was about to drink up from her can of beer, but on the command of Eve, she was made to down an entire bottle of whiskey instead.

“For our lovely and beautiful bride!” Eve said.

With that, they blasted some tunes and began dancing wildly. Eve approached Scarlett and said something in her ear.

“Say it again! I can’t hear you!” Scarlett shouted loudly.

“I’m saying, don’t be a housewife! Live for yourself now and forever.” Eve shouted loudly.

Scarlett just laughed and had a drink with her.

“Cheers!” she said.

The party didn’t come to a close until 4 am the following day.

Although almost everyone had retired to their bedrooms, Scarlett and Eve sat on the stairs of the hotel with a six-pack of beer next to them. They were already drunk, but they decided to keep drinking and let the good times go on.

As two tall men walked closer to them, Scarlett and Eve were still drinking together.

“Scarlett, you are too sexy tonight!” Eve said, giggling like an idiot and leaning on Scarlett’s bare shoulder.

Scarlett was also a little dizzy and couldn’t see things clearly.

“You too. The sexy cop, have you put on your underwear? Scarlett held her beer bottle and giggled. Her face was flushed.

“No, anyway, I will have to take it off when I’m back,” Eve said. After that, she took another bottle of beer.

Scarlett narrowed her eyes and pointed at the figures and said, “Hey, look, am I too drunk, or do you see two men coming this way right now?”

Eve looked up and said, “You are wrong, there are four men coming in this way!”

Francis looked at his silly and drunk wife and then looked at Eve and said to Damon, “Take her back and don’t let her come out tomorrow.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Damon threw Eve on his shoulder with one hand and said, “That’s exactly what I want.”

“Put me down, I’m feeling super dizzy!” Eve said as she hung upside down from his shoulder.

“No, it’s good for you to clear your head. Stop wriggling about like that.”

Meanwhile, Scarlett was on Francis’s back. After having smelled the comforting scent of Francis’s cologne, she had fallen right asleep.

They walked along the beach and headed for the hotel. As the breeze blew upon them, Scarlett sobered up a little.

“Sorry, Francis!” Scarlett said.

“What? What are you apologizing for exactly?” Francis asked.

“We said midnight, but I wasn’t punctual… I wasn’t on time… I’m sorry.” She muttered.

He carried her on the back and said, “It doesn’t matter. As long as you didn’t break the main principle.”

“Thank you, you are the best.”

“Scarlett, come down and walk with me.”

Francis put Scarlett down, lowered his head to kiss her affectionately. He embraced her closely.

Under the dark blue sky, the waves crashed gently against the beach. A lovely couple was quietly telling the story of their love for each other.

It is, of course, a well-known custom that the bride and groom are not supposed to see each other right before the wedding.

Eve sat on the sofa with her legs crossed. With a bunch of grapes on a plate in front of her, she piped up, “Hey, Scarlett, don’t you want to try your wedding dress on right now?”

Scarlett was wearing black-rimmed glasses and reading a book near the window. She had only a simple white t-shirt and a pair of light-wash skinny jeans on. Without even looking up, she said, “No, I don’t want to satisfy your craving to tease me. I know you get a kick out of it… you’re wicked.”

Eve frowned, “Even though it’s tailored for you, it’s likely to be unfit for you, right? Do you think it’s gonna fit? Are you really not gonna try it?”

Scarlett said, “No.”

Scarlett felt very bored. Eve walked around the room for a while; she felt restless. She wanted to go out because she had learned about a party happening nearby.

“If you want to go outside, just go. Stop walking back and forth in front of me. You’re distracting me, and all I want to do is read.”

Eve gave Scarlett a dirty look and said, “If I go, will you sneak out and go to see your groom? Is that what you’re going to do?”

Scarlett looked up and said, “What are you talking about? I’ve been with him for so many years, do you think I still have the urge to be with him every single night?”

Eve held her chin in her hands and nodded, “Okay, I will come back later then. See you later, girl.”

As Eve left the apartment, she closed the door behind her. Scarlett threw her book away and leaned against the cushion; she breathed a deep sigh of relief. She couldn’t believe that she was nervous. She thought to herself that there was nothing to be nervous about because she and Francis had been married for eight years. But then why did she feel like her heart was going to pop right out of her chest?

Scarlett took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes. Her heart just wouldn’t stop beating super fast, as if she were a little hummingbird.

It turned out it was true after all: no matter how long they had been married, Scarlett was fated to feel nervous whenever she encountered Francis, her true love.

She picked up the phone and dialed the familiar number. She sat leaning against the window and felt a little upset.

“Scarlett…” a familiar deep voice came to her from the other line, and she was relieved at last.

“Francis…” she took a deep breath.

“What’s wrong? Are you alone?” though she only said his name, he was able to grasp that she was experiencing a profound mix of emotions. They understood each other well now, after so long of being together, so they had no trouble figuring out what the other was feeling at any given time.

Scarlett rubbed her nose and asked, “Where are the babies?”

“They are all asleep, and everything is fine with them. What’s the matter with you?” he said.

“Nothing, I’m just a little nervous…” she whispered in embarrassment and covered her face.
