"Chelsey, Luke's eyes have recovered, so it's high time you two consummate the marriage. You should go over to his place tonight!"This was what Chelsey Jenson's mother-in-law, Josie Suthers, said as they were eating dinner.Chelsey's heart skipped a beat. She said softly, "Okay."She and Lucas Yates had been married for three years, and she'd cared for him throughout that period. But after he'd regained his sight, he'd moved out to live alone.Chelsey made her way to Lucas' current abode based on the address Josie had given to her. She arrived at a standalone villa that was beside the river.She keyed in the password and headed inside. The villa reeked of alcohol.Chelsey found Lucas in the master bedroom on the second floor. He lay on the bed, buck-naked and snoring away. There were even unfinished bottles of liquor on the bedside table. The stench of liquor permeated every corner of the room. It was suffocating."Lucas …" Chelsey called.He didn't respond.She sat beside th

Lucas took off his suit jacket and put it around Shannon's shoulders. Then, he lifted her into his arms and carried her off stage.He wasn't bothered by the red paint getting onto his white shirt. He comforted her tenderly.As he walked past Chelsey, his expression turned frosty. He growled, "I won't let anyone who's harmed Shannon off the hook. That includes you!"His accusation was like a stab to Chelsey's heart. It was silent, but it hurt like hell.She stared at him in disbelief. "What's that supposed to mean?"His rage almost swept her away. "Doing these things will only make me detest you, Chelsey!"She held back her tears. "Why are you so sure that it's me? Do you have proof?""Who else could it be? Don't play dumb with me, Chelsey. I can't believe you'd pull such a ruthless trick. If Shannon's hand doesn't recover fully, I'll break yours."Lucas was already sure that Chelsey was the one who'd harmed Shannon, and nothing she said would change that.He was her husband an

Inside the noisy bar, Lucas' icy and grim exterior made him stand out like a sore thumb.As he quietly drank his liquor, his business partner, who sat beside him, nudged him with a smirk. "Look at that chick in the white minidress, Mr. Yates. Hot stuff, isn't she? She's exactly my type. Can you see how flexible she is? I bet she's fucking good in bed!"Lucas curled his lip disdainfully. He looked in the direction his business partner was pointing.Even with the dim lighting, he could tell the young woman on the dance floor looked rather familiar. Lucas took a closer look—it was Chelsey.Her hair was loose around her shoulders, and she wore a white minidress. She was dancing without a care.She twisted her slender waist, catching the attention of the men around her. The vibrant energy in her was obvious, but it didn't take away from her mystery and sexiness.Lucas had always thought Chelsey was an obedient, demure woman. He hadn't expected her to have such a wild side. She was sex

Sandra gave Lucas a contemptuous look. "Honestly, even a pet dog would've shown Chels more gratitude for everything she's done in the past three years. If not for her taking such good care of you, how could you possibly have regained your vision?"You're a heartless bastard! Now, get lost. Chels doesn't wanna see you."Lucas didn't get angry after being scolded by Sandra. He merely looked at Chelsey, who clung to Sandra weakly. She'd never had alcohol before, yet she'd had so much to drink during her first time. Her head spun and felt like it was made of mush."I'll take her home." Lucas bent down slightly to lift Chelsey into his arms. He turned and strode off."We don't need you for that. I'll take her!"Sandra hurried after them but was stopped by Lucas' bodyguards. She stomped her foot angrily and cried anxiously, "If you dare do anything to harm Chelsey, I'll kill you, Lucas! Don't you dare bully her or break her heart!"Lucas brought Chelsey to his Bentley, which was parked

The following day, Chelsey woke up with a splitting headache. She clutched at her head as she sat up in bed. She could see that she was in her bed at home but had no idea how she'd gotten there.Chelsey lifted the sheets to see she was buck-naked. She ran into the bathroom in shock. When she saw the dress she'd worn last night on the floor, she sagged in relief.Thank God she hadn't stripped while outside. Otherwise, she'd be utterly humiliated.God, she felt horrible. She couldn't drink anymore.Chelsey grabbed some pajamas and threw them on. Then, she headed downstairs to see Lucas cooking something in the kitchen.When their gazes met, Chelsey's eyes were wide with surprise. "What are you doing here?"Lucas didn't answer her. Instead, he put a bowl on the counter. "Come and drink this."Chelsey walked over and frowned at the murky liquid. "What's in there?""A hangover remedy." Lucas had had the driver get the ingredients and made it himself.Chelsey would always make this
