From the bathroom to the master bedroom, Yorrick dominated everything in the darkness. No one could
see the intense desire that he hid deep in his gaze. For Yorrick, the intimate activity that lasted until
daylight was an abyss that he chose to jump into. As for Xyla, it was a contradiction and repression that
she had never felt before.
In the end, everything came to a calm. The next morning. Xyla was awakened by the noise in the living
room. When she tried to move her body, she felt as if her body was falling apart. While she was in a
trance, she heard a woman roaring, “Yorrick, I’m your fiancee! I won’t stand in your way if you want to
have fun with other women, but please, I hope you can respect the marriage contract between us!”
Xyla’s eyelashes trembled.
‘Fiancee?’
She forced herself to get up from the bed and went to the door to listen to their conversation.
Yorrick chuckled. “For the record, I’ve never agreed to marry you.” “Do you want to renege on the
marriage contract between our families?” The woman’s shoulder trembled, and she felt humiliated. “Why
not?” Yorrick placed his arms over the back of the couch and shifted his body into a comfortable position.
“My mother decided the marriage, so why don’t you consider marrying my mother instead?’ “You!” “Do
you think you can force me to accept the marriage by drugging me?” Yorrick gripped the base of the wine
glass and swirled it gently. “Unfortunately, everything I have right now wasn’t given to me by the
Hathaways. Therefore, I don’t have to listen to them, and I can choose what kind of woman I want to be
my wife.”
He drank the wine slowly.
Mandy’s face turned pale, and her eyes turned bloodshot. “But becoming your wife has always been my
wish, Yorrick. Do you know how long I have been waiting for this day? I know you’re just flirting with
those women. You don’t love them at all. For you, nothing is more important than benefits, and I can
bring you the benefits you want!” Yorrick looked at her through the wine glass and said, “Including the
whole Nix family?”
She was stumped. “W-What did you say?”
“You said you can bring me benefits, right?” Yorrick said with a nonchalant smile tugging at his lips, “If
you can give the entire Nix family to me, maybe I’ll give it a consideration.”
Mandy was stunned and tongue-tied. The bodyguard came over and brought her out. She bit her lips,
turned around, and left.
Xyla stood behind the door without saying anything. Suddenly. Yorrick pushed the door open, and the
door bumped into her forehead.
She covered her forehead with her hand and stumbled a few steps back. A hand came out of nowhere
and wrapped around her waist.
Yorrick pulled her into his arms and laughed as he helped her to rub her swollen forehead. “What were
you doing behind the door ? You can always come out, you know?”
Xyla pushed his hand away. “You have a fiancee.”
Yorrick scooped her up from the floor and sat down on the bed. Xyla tried to free herself from his
embrace, but he secured her tightly in his arms. “My mother decided the marriage. I’m not going to marry
that woman.” “But she’s here to look for you. What if the media learns about it? Am I going to become the
target again?” Xyla looked at him expressionlessly, “You tricked me into becoming your lover. Since it’s
about three months now, I think it should be about time. You have a fiancee, so I think we should go our
separate ways now. I don’t want to be a homewrecker, and I don’t want to see myself appearing on the
news headlines saying that I interfered with your marriage.” Seeing the stern expression on her face, he
knew that Xyla was serious about cutting ties with him, and he couldn’t help but tease her. “So what do
you want? You want to be my wife?”
“I want to go back.”
Xyla tried to get out of his arms, but Yorrick turned around and pinned her on the bed.
She was stunned, and when she recalled Yorrick’s comment on her at the Persian Gulf, she laughed
coldly. “What’s wrong, Mr.
Hathaway? Do you want to do it again? I’m really curious about it. Is it because the hundreds of women
you’ve had haven’t been able to satisfy you? That’s why you have such a high libido?”
