Emmeline was lying on her bed, scrolling through her phone.

"That was awesome." Abel leaned down and pinched her nose. "You knocked her out in one fell swoop. She just took over her company's Struyria market and was raring to go."

"Hey, she asked for this." Emmeline put her phone down and wrapped her arm around Abel. "She tried to steal you and slandered me. This is what she gets."

"Feisty." Abel kissed her cheek and smiled. "But I like it."

"Say, you wanna guess what happens to her next?" Emmeline winked cheekily.

"Not a clue." Abel smiled. "What happens to her depends on what you want to do."

"She thinks I'm easy prey. Let's see how she likes this." Emmeline kissed Abel's chin. "Well, I'll let her off the hook if she bows her head."

"Let's not talk about them." Abel pinned her down and hoarsely said, "I need more. And it hasn't been minutes since then."


"Oh, no." Emmeline pushed his chest away. "You gotta stop, or I don't think I can walk."

"It's alright." Abel kissed her. "You still can hang on to me if you need to go around. Literally."

Emmeline was about to say no, but Abel had leaned closer. She gasped, but she eventually relented and played along.

Evelyn and Flynn hurried to Adelmar, but Joey stopped them.

"We'd like to see Mr. York," said Flynn. "Please tell him we're here."

"He's not in," said Joey. "Have you made a reservation?"

"No," said Flynn. "But this is urgent. I'm a Murphy Group rep."

"Murphy Group, eh?" Joey said.

"Yeah, that's right." Evelyn nodded haughtily. "Now tell him we're here."

"Nope. No reservations, no meeting. Not even if you're a god." Joey shrugged. "Sorry."

"Why you little…" Evelyn went pale with fury. She's looking down on me.

"Evelyn." Flynn held her arm. "Calm down."
