The Ruthless CEO And His Substitute WifeUpdated at Feb 29, 2024, 01:39
"Ladies shouldn't curse."
"Get fucked." Matilda slammed her hand on the kitchen countertop, hating that he couldn't read the signs.
Arthur blinked in surprise, taking a long calculated stride towards her which caused her breathe to hitch.
"You should go," Matilda breathed. "You should definitely go."
There was that wicked smirk once more on his face. Which made her think he knew what he was doing to her. But she wasn't going to let him into her life the second time.
"Go here?"
Arthur's mouth was suddenly on her shoulder. "Or here?" It moved up to her neck.
Matilda fluttered her eyes shut. She had lost control again. And she knew it wouldn't take long before her barricade gets demolished.
But was she really ready to accept the man who had once rejected her before?
