Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Chapter 40

It was a bite and not a kiss.

Stella protested with all her might, but Keegan pinned her down along with the blanket. Her limbs were trapped inside the blanket like a cocoon. He ravished her lips recklessly.

Keegan stopped to look at her. Stella, who was under him, stared into his eyes and enunciated her question word by word. “Did you fall in love with me?”

Keegan loosened his grip and sat up. He gave her an icy glance. “Don’t flatter yourself. Stella Jewell, before we officially divorce, you’re still a member of the Kane family. Know your place. Don’t mess up and expect others to clean up after you.”
