Love And Intrigues: Crave Your Touch

Author: : Xin Zhi
Genre: Romance
Ethan, the heir of the Firman Family, was forced to marry Sophia, no matter how rich and powerful he was. What made things worse was that his newly-married wife was no other than the one his sworn enemy loved. Their affection was as transient as a flash of an eye. His gentleness was replaced by cruelty, which pushed her down into the abyss of despair. It was hard to tell right from wrong in the battle of love. However, winner takes all. Being involved in this competition, she had no idea whether she was the one they truly loved or just a pawn that they used to restrict each other.

Chapter 1 The Reluctant Wedding (Part One)

In the office on the top floor of YU Group.

A tall and strong man was sitting in a leather chair on a large desk. His hand on the table was constantly lighting up the lighter. As he pressed the button, the lighter flashed with flames. He was holding a long and thin cigar in his mouth, and the ashtray on the table was filled with cigarette butts.

Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear. If the weather could really be the reflection of people's mood as what it had said, he should be in a good mood at the moment, but his mood was extremely bad.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and his expression didn't changed. His sitting posture also did not change at all, and even the movement of his hands did not change, as if he did not hear the sound.

The person outside the door seemed to have something very urgent. Regardless of anything, he pushed the door open and walked in directly. He was wearing a formal suit and his hair was neat and tidy. When he saw the person sitting there, there was no expression on his face. No one could tell his mood.

He just looked at the person sitting there and said, "Boss, it's time to go..."

It was not until this moment that his body moved. The accumulated ashes fell to the table in an instant, and the fiery red sparks appeared on the cigarette end. He looked up at the person who had come in, reached out to take the cigar between his lips and stubbed it out in the ashtray bit by bit.

"Blue Wolf, what will happen if I don't enter the church?" He said lightly, with hidden anger and helplessness in his tone.

Although he said so, he stood up, took the suit jacket on the back of the chair and walked out.

"The master always has a way!" When he passed him and walked to the door, the man called "Blue Wolf" answered.

The person who was walking out stopped, as if thinking about his words. In the end, he said something irrelevant, "Where is she?" His tone was light, as if he just asked a casual question.

And "Blue Wolf" also replied casually, "I don't know!"

After hearing that, he didn't say anything. He just raised his eyebrows and walked out. However, when he passed the assistant office beside the CEO's office, he couldn't help but slow down until he stopped. But after looking at the closed door for a long time, he strode away without looking back.

The black Bugatti flashed across the busy street like a lightning, followed by a black Ferrari, and the roar of the engine was particularly loud.

"Blue Wolf, is boss going to vent all his anger by driving the car with high speed?" Sitting on the passenger seat of the Ferrari, the Nighthawk, Henry Gong, with a pale face, tightly grasped the belt on one side of the car, but his tone was still calm.

Without saying a word, the Blue Wolf Andrew Deng cast a glance at him and then stepped hard on his foot.

"Blue Wolf, are you revenging on me on purpose?" Henry Gong gnashed his teeth and closed his eyes at the same time.

Andrew said slowly, "If you dare to say anything else, I will throw you out directly."

Henry was about to answer, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that the car was already on the expressway. What if Andrew really threw him out at this time! As far as he knew about Andrew, he must be able to do that. Besides, this was not the way to the church!

"Where is boss going? Isn't he going to attend the wedding?" Henry Gong said with cold sweat. He had a stomachache and could spit it out at any time.

It seemed that Andrew Deng had noticed his sickness, so he said flatly, "There is a bag next to you. You can throw up in it if you want."

But Henry was a man of absolute dignity. If he threw out in the car, Andrew would laugh to death.

"I just feel a little uncomfortable. Keep your bag." Henry resisted the pain and refused.

With a smile at the corners of his mouth, Andrew said, "Then just bear it."

Then, Henry began to restrain himself...

On the highway, two cars were running at a high speed one after another. Seeing that the indicator on the speed watch was still rising, Henry closed his eyes with a wail. His stomach was churning. He touched the bag in the storage compartment, but he didn't touch it.

"Blue Wolf, where is the bag?" Henry asked after trying his best to restrain himself.

Andrew asked indifferently, "Are there not any bags? Then you have to restrain it. "

"You, you..." Henry was too angry to speak.

Immediately, Andrew added, "If you dare to vomit in my car, I will throw you on the expressway."

The expressway is so deserted. Although Henry hated him so much, he had no strength to retort. He was sure once again that Blue Wolf was definitely revenging on him, just because he suggested his boss to send him to carry out a mission in the Sahara.

In the dressing room of the church.

In other people's wedding, the dressing room was always full of people. Relatives, friends, bridesmaids, there were always people coming and going, which was a joyous scene. In this huge space, only coldness and solemnness could be felt.

There were only two dressers and one stylist in the dressing room.

The woman in the mirror was beautiful, like a beautiful woman in the painting, but her face was so pale. The make-up artist was applying makeup for her. Her eyes, cheeks and lips were glowing with vitality.

"Miss Sophia, it's time to wear gloves." The voice of the stylist suddenly sounded.

She seemed to be shocked and suddenly looked up at her blankly, as if the voice of the person in front of her came from another distant space.

The stylist smiled and said softly again, "It's time to wear gloves."

She seemed to be stunned for a while before she came to her senses. She looked at the white gloves in the stylist's hand, folded her left and right hands before reaching out her hand. When the stylist was about to put the other glove on her, she repeated the same move.

"Can you help me wear this necklace?" She turned her head slightly to look at the stylist and spread out her hands at the same time.

The necklace in her hand was shining in the light. The shape of the necklace was a small leaf, half of which was pink diamond, half was blue diamond, and the small diamonds all gave out bright lights.

The stylist seemed to hesitate for a moment. She picked up the necklace in her hand and put it on her snow-white neck.

Through the mirror, she looked at the leaf with his promise. He said that he was like a leaf in the wind, always floating in the sea of people, and he didn't know where he came from. It was not until he saw her that he knew that even if he was a leaf, he still had a person to accompany.

He added, "We will be together all our lives. The pink one is you, and the blue one is me. Without you, I will not be complete."

'We will be together forever. Without you, I will not be complete.' He didn't understand the meaning of this sentence and how heavy it was!

The words were still in her ears, but he disappeared without a word. She had been looking for him for two months, but she didn't get any news.

He made such a heavy promise easily. He knew that she had taken it seriously and engraved it in her heart. But he was heartless to abandon her!

'Noah, since you can't make it, why do you make a promise to me!' A cold smile appeared on her face. She had thought they would have a good future, but she didn't expect him to abandon her.

In the lounge for the bridegroom's relatives and friends.

The wedding of the CEO of YU Group should be a big event in the business world, but there were only a few people in the empty lounge at the moment.

With his head slightly raised, Jacob Yu looked out of the window. No one knew what he was looking at. Behind him, Greg Ren looked in the direction he looked curiously and found that there was nothing special in the sky except for a few white clouds. Greg Ren elbowed at Michael Shao, who was sitting on the sofa, and asked, "What is that guy doing? Is there anything in the sky?"

Michael Shao looked at the person in front of him and said indifferently, "There should be a fairy in the sky."

"Michael, you're married, but you're still thinking about the fairy. I'll call my sister-in-law immediately to see if you can't kneel on the keyboard at night when you go back." Turning around, Jacob glared at the two men on the sofa who were making fun of him.

Then he jumped off the window and said thoughtfully, "Do you think our boss will really marry that unknown woman?"

"Of course he will." Greg Ren rolled his eyes at him and said, "Otherwise, why are we all here?"

Jacob sighed. "I think our boss is so pitiful. His wife is a woman he has never met before." Then, he suddenly thought of something and immediately said, "How about I go to check for Boss first?"

Hearing this, both of Greg and Michael raised their eyebrows at the same time.

Coincidentally, the sound of a car came from outside the window, and Jacob immediately walked out. He saw two cars in front of him rushing into his sight. Before he blinked his eyes, the car in front of him turned around and stopped steadily in many cars with a harsh sound of brake.

Then, the door opened, and a tall man got out of the car. Facing the setting sun, he looked as elegant and noble as a prince.

"Boss is so handsome." After giving a loud whistle, Jacob praised.

Hearing the noise, Greg and Michael stood up and walked to the window.

With a cold face, Ethan Mu walked over, glanced at Jacob, and went straight into the lounge. He glanced around and found that she was not there. Well, she had no reason to be there.

When he came in, Jacob took a look at Greg and Michael by the window. Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Ethan Mu ignored them and went straight to an armchair. He threw the coat on his arm to the back of the chair, and then leaned back into the chair, pulling off the tie on his neck irritably.

Needless to ask, it could tell from his expression that he was in a bad mood at the moment. Therefore, no one in the room spoke, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing.

At this time, when Jacob saw Andrew come in, he looked at the back of him but didn't find Nighthawk. He asked curiously, "Didn't Nighthawk come? He called and said he would come in your car."

Chapter 2 The Reluctant Wedding (Part Two)

"He is vomiting!" Andrew said flatly.

Another figure flashed by and came in. He glanced at the room and hurried towards Ethan Mu, whispering in his ear. Although the others couldn't hear what he said, they could guess that something bad must have happened from Ethan's unhappy face.

Ethan frowned and stood up after a long time. Andrew wanted to follow him, but was stopped by the man. "Master has told me that only the young master is needed."

The four people in the lounge looked at each other and didn't move. They all knew the person who had stopped Andrew, it was Rod Firman. They all called him "Uncle Rod". He was the person that Firman trusted most.

Cook Firman. Firman was the former leader of YU Group and also Ethan's uncle.

After Uncle Rod left, all eyes were focused on Andrew. They were usually scattered all over the world, and only Blue Wolf Andrew stayed with their boss, so he was the only person who was likely to know something.

"Don't look at me like that. I really don't know anything." Andrew said innocently.

Hearing this, the others immediately understood the reason. Blue Wolf didn't know and their boss didn't want to tell them, so it must be the private affairs of their family.

The closed door was suddenly smashed open. The four looked at the direction where the sound came from. They saw Henry stood at the door. Even if his face was pale, he greeted them handsomely, "Everyone is here!"

With a smile on his face, Jacob teased, "Nighthawk, your complexion doesn't match today's wedding!"

The feeble Nighthawk glared at Andrew. If his car hadn't been driven so fast, braked and started again and again, he wouldn't have been laughed at by Jacob!

Henry's eyes were as sharp as knives and swords, but Andrew ignored them. Andrew walked to the bar counter, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it gently.

"I don't know what Master is thinking. Anyway, our boss is his nephew. Is it necessary to force him like this?" Said Michael.

Andrew replied, "When I was in the office just now, I saw our boss's helpless face. I couldn't help but feel sorry for him."

Greg sighed and said, "So, there are always bad things in life."

With guesses and doubts, the wedding began. The hall of the church was already full of people. The seats for the relatives and friends of the bride on the left were all empty, and on the right in the first row sat a kind old man, and behind him in each row sat his friends from political and business circles.

When the music started, the officiator announced the beginning of the wedding ceremony.

Ethan stood in front of the platform and looked at the door of the church. There was no expression on his face, as if the wedding had nothing to do with him.

The bride walked slowly on the red carpet. The white wedding dress and the lily flowers on both sides reflected radiance of each other. Although her head was covered with a veil, her delicate and exquisite face was still visible. The strapless dress wrapped her small body, and her skin was as smooth as snow.

"The master arranged a beautiful lady for our boss!" Said Jacob with a heartless smile. These people could only look at the outside, not sitting in the church, so they could only look at the bride from a distance.

With a noncommittal smile, Greg picked up his phone and was about to take photos.

Michael kindly reminded him, "You are a married man, behave well!"

"I took a panoramic view and recorded it simply." Greg had already taken several photos before he spoke.

The bride walked towards the stage alone. There was no one around her, not even a flower boy holding her hemline. However, the church was still overcrowded, and the flashlight kept flashing.

Looking at the person walking towards him from the light, Ethan's face darkened. He didn't understand why she agreed to marry a man she had never seen before. As a woman, didn't she want to choose the one she loved and the one who loved her?

There was no one in the bride's seats. Maybe the arrangement of her uncle was exactly what she wanted. After all, not everyone could enter the Firman family.

When he was thinking about this, the other had already stood in front of him. When the priest spoke, he came to his senses and looked at the person opposite him. The thin veil covered her face. Through the veil, he still saw her beauty, dreamy and unreal.

"Please lift the bride's veil!" The priest said.

He didn't hesitate. Perhaps he also wanted to see what kind of face under the veil was. But she didn't look at him all the time. Her eyes dropped, but he could see her. Her long eyelashes, straight nose, and red lips. Her skin looked crystal clear, like a newborn baby.

She didn't have any other decorations on her body, but the necklace around her neck was very eye-catching. He could tell at a glance that it was invaluable. He sneered. His uncle was generous.

But she was quiet, as if everything around had nothing to do with her, even this wedding. He couldn't help but wonder if his judgment was wrong. In fact, she was also unwilling. Since she was unwilling, why did she agree? Or she had her own difficulties, just like him.

The priest began to read the long wedding words. He said the words "I do" expressionlessly. Anyway, it was just a wedding ceremony, and it would not affect his life at all. He was still Ethan Mu, and he should do what he should do.

Just like him, the little woman said the word "yes" without hesitation.

Thunderous applause resounded off the stage. The priest handed over the ring. He saw her take it obediently, and then reached out to hold his hand. He felt a little disgusted, but he still let her wear the wedding ring for him, and he also put the wedding ring for her.

"Now, the bridegroom can kiss the bride..." Finally, it was the last step. All the guests off the stage were excited. It was just a wedding that had nothing to do with them, even none of the people involved. He really didn't understand why they were so excited.

After staring at the little woman in front of him for two seconds, Ethan put his arm around her shoulder and touched her lips. Obviously, her body was stiff and she was not willing to do so.

When everyone was excited, Henry, who was at the auditorium, showed great sympathy to his boss on the stage. "Boss, you are so pitiful!"

"The ceremony is finished! Now I declare that you are officially married. " The priest said solemnly, and there was another burst of excited applause from the audience.

"Emma!" Seeing the figure in the crowd, Greg immediately shouted. Andrew and the others turned their heads to look. Jacob and Henry, who were usually fond of playing tricks, were silent for a while, but Emma smiled at them.

"Where is Oriole? Hasn't she come?" Greg broke the awkward atmosphere and changed the topic.

With a forced smile on her face, Emma said, "She's on a mission. She can't come back." While speaking, her eyes were fixed on the two people on the stage. At this moment, the groom was kissing the bride...

In an instant, her eyes darkened. Then she said to them, "I'll go over there to see what's going on with the banquet." Then she turned around and left.

Jacob caught up with her. "I'll go with you."

Although Emma was in the car, she didn't start it. "I'm fine, Jacob. You don't have to come to comfort me. In fact, I have long known that I will never be with him. Our relationship can only be between the boss and the subordinate. It's my fault that I don't know the boundary. "

"Emma!" Jacob didn't know what to say to comfort her. She was such a smart and strong woman that she didn't need anyone's comfort at all.

He gently held her in his arms and let her lean on his shoulder. She did not push him away, but quietly leaned on his shoulder.

After a long time, she gently pushed him away, without tears in her eyes. She said to Jacob, "We all have our own destiny, and I don't belong to him. I knew it long ago, but somehow, my heart didn't follow my own will. It's good to see him get married and probably have his own child soon. I should adjust my mood and continue to be his subordinate. "

"Emma, you are always so rational and strong." With a smile, Jacob said, "Let's go."

The car was like an arrow off the string, speeding forward.

After the wedding ceremony in the church, everyone went to another place to attend the wedding party. Colorful lights, beautiful cakes and soft music, people shuttling in the hall were very lively.

Cook Firman was standing there. Indeed, Firman had put a lot of time and energy into preparing for the wedding. The biggest winery of the Firman family was the place where the wedding was held. Not only could everyone enjoy the good wine and delicious food here, they could also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole winery, and they could even go to the grape garden to pick the freshest grapes.

Although he didn't invite many people, the security measures were still very tight. All the irrelevant people were limited to stay nearby, including those reporters. It was not only a wedding banquet, but also a high-end socializing place for celebrities.

Speaking of this wedding, the only person who was happy was probably the wedding organizer, Ethan's uncle. He was very happy to receive the blessings from the guests.

Of course, the guests were also toasting and talking about the topics they were interested in, as if they had already forgotten the two protagonists today.

Uncle Rod came to Firman silently and whispered in his ear, "The young master is missing!"

Greeting the people, the smile on Firman's face immediately froze, but soon returned to normal. Then he said calmly, "Find him immediately and tell him that he is not allowed to go anywhere tonight. He must stay in his villa obediently. Besides, tell him that the wedding is an established fact. I don't allow any change to happen. "

Chapter 3 The Young Master Is Missing

"Yes, sir." Uncle Rod answered. Then he turned around and left. Firman greeted the others with a smile as usual.

Sophia Jin stayed alone in her room and didn't go out for half a step. Although she was a little hungry and hadn't drunk any water for such a long time, she still decided to stay in this small room.

She took off the necklace around her neck and looked at it. Her tears fell down on the surface of the diamonds and the diamonds appeared to be shiny in the light.

"I'm married. You know what? From now on, we are strangers. " She opened the window of the room and was about to throw the necklace out. When she raised her hand, she couldn't help but hold it tightly in her palm and burst into tears.

All of a sudden, the door was opened. She turned her head and saw a handsome man in a formal dress. He lightly nodded to her and said, "Mrs. Sophia, let me drive you home."

She wiped her tears and looked at the man in front of her blankly. "You are..."

"My name is Andrew Deng, and I'm a subordinate of Mr. Ethan." Andrew introduced himself respectfully.

"Well, Mr. Andrew, my luggage..." When she came here, she brought a few belongings with her, but they were all left somewhere. There were a few things that meant a lot to her, so she had to take her own luggage.

Andrew was still respectful and patient. "I've put all your luggage in the trunk of the accompanying car. Please rest assured, Mrs. Sophia."

"That's good." Sophia finally smiled, as long as the luggage was still there. At the same time, she had a good impression of the man named Andrew because of his good attitude.

"Mrs. Sophia, can we leave now?" Asked Andrew.

Sophia nodded and walked out with Andrew. Then he led her to the car specially prepared for her. She didn't even dare to look around. Although she didn't know why a stranger threatened her with her uncle's life and forced her to marry a man she had never met, she was not a fool. She always felt that there was a plot in it. Before knowing that her uncle was safe, she told herself to be obedient.

"Sister-in-law!" Henry said with a smile, but he immediately received a sullen signal from Andrew, so he shut his mouth immediately.

Sophia nodded slightly to Henry, and Andrew introduced, "His name is Henry Gong, and he is also a subordinate of Mr. Ethan. Mrs. Sophia, this way, please!"

Henry muttered in a low voice, "I have a mouth. You don't need to introduce me."

Andrew glared at Henry with murderous eyes. Henry pouted and shut up again.

After Sophia got into the car, Andrew politely closed the door for her, and then walked around to sit in the driver's seat, while Henry sat in the front passenger's seat.

In fact, what he feared most was to take Andrew's car. As long as he took Andrew's car, Andrew would not stop until he threw up as if he had a grudge against him. If it weren't for Uncle Rod's order to send Mrs. Sophia back, he wouldn't have taken his car.

However, this time, Andrew drove smoothly. He drove at a constant speed, and even the brake was smooth.

Henry peeped at the person sitting in the back row and saw that her face was always looking out of the car. Her mouth was tightly closed. The neon lights at night occasionally flashed on her face, and her skin was snow-white and bright.

Henry frowned. This girl looked weak and people couldn't help but want to protect her. He couldn't help guessing whether his boss had the same thought the moment he saw her.

To be honest, she and Emma were two completely different kinds of people. Emma was cold and indifferent, but she was as delicate and noble as lily flower.

"Blue Wolf, where does our boss go? He can escape the first day, but he can't escape all the time. Since he has married her, he will definitely meet her. He stand her up the first time they meet each other. How can they get along with each other in the future? " Henry began to worry about the couple. His voice was very low, afraid of being heard by the person behind him.

Andrew glanced at him, "These are not your business. Your task is to send our sister-in-law home and report to Uncle Rod. That's all."

"I think although this sister-in-law is weak, she is not willing to admit defeat. Do you think it's our boss who subdued her in the end, or she subdued our boss?" Henry asked curiously.

Andrew reminded him with disdain, "Are you going to shut up yourself, or do you want me to tape your mouth?"

Henry grinned, "How could there be tape in your car? Besides, we are still in front of our sister-in-law."

They were talking in a low voice. Because they were sitting in the lengthened Lincoln and Sophia were sitting in the last row, so she couldn't hear the conversation between the two clearly. However, she knew that they must be talking about her. It was very likely that they were guessing why she would marry the boss they called.

What would that person think!

Andrew focused on driving and didn't answer his question.

Henry couldn't keep his mouth shut, "Where on earth has our boss gone? Even the master can't find him. I've been wondering why Boss has to give in. But when I saw Mrs. Rosina was not here, I finally understood. "

"Nighthawk, don't always think too highly of yourself." Henry was rendered speechless by Andrew's words. He felt that everyone was strange, as if they were always avoiding something. But even if they didn't mention it and avoided it, those things that should have happened would not have happened?

It was not that he was thinking highly of himself, but that they were all deceiving themselves.

In a high-end apartment.

Sitting in front of the computer, Ethan played the online game that he thought was very stupid.

"When will you leave? It's already nine o'clock." Standing at the door, Emma said to the person who was staring at the computer screen and tapping on the keyboard.

But the person who was playing game was enjoying himself and turned a deaf ear to her words.

Emma walked forward, unplugged the power supply and said, "When on earth will you leave? This is your safe place."

"Emma, are you driving me away too?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "I could stay here for a whole night before."

"You said it was in the past. Now you are married and have a family. Do you think it is appropriate for a married man to stay in a single woman's apartment for a whole night?" She said coldly.

Without saying a word, he stood up and walked out of the room. When he arrived at the living room, he lay down on the sofa again, picked up the remote control on the tea table and turned on the TV.

Emma came over again and grabbed the remote control from his hand. "Today is your wedding night. Do you have the heart to leave your bride alone?" She sneered, "Besides, if your wife finds out that you escaped to me on your wedding night, as your subordinate, I don't know how to explain it to your wife."

He didn't say anything more. He reached out his hand to grab the remote control from Emma's hand, but Emma threw it directly to the ground. She said coldly, "Okay, I'll give you a reason to stay here..." Then she began to unbutton her clothes.

Ethan grabbed her hand and said, "Emma, you know I'm miserable, so I don't want you to force me. In that case, I'll feel sorry for myself!"

Her body trembled. It was rare for him to call her Emma. According to the rules of the organization, they would call each other with their own code names. Her code name was Redbird, so he would always call her Redbird. And when he worked in the company, he would call her Assistant Wei.

After a long while, he said in a low voice, "Let me stay for one night. At this time, my uncle must be looking for me. This is a place he can't find... "

She was stunned. He had never been so humble before. Her heart ached. It was difficult to say anything to drive him away.

"Only for one night!" After saying that, she turned around and entered her bedroom.

When she closed the door, it was dark in the bedroom. She leaned against the door and didn't turn on the light. Only the dark night could protect her well. Therefore, whenever she was on a mission, she would always wear black clothes. When she cried, she would hide in the dark room, because no one could see her tears.

She had trained herself to be strong, but because of his request just now and his words "I don't want you to be the one who forces me", her heart could no longer be hard.

He was her Achilles' heel. She knew that it was hard to fall in love with him, so she had to hide him deep in her heart. But after all, she still had hope, and now her last hope was gone. He finally became someone else's husband, and she finally lost the possibility that belonged to her.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Ethan weakly leaned against the sofa. In fact, he could go to a lot of places and his uncle couldn't find him. But for some reason, he just wanted to come here and stay with her for a night. Even if he didn't want to do anything, he also wanted to sit here.

It was like a farewell ceremony. The two of them had been together for ten years and could probably end here. He had never thought that one day, the relationship between the two of them would become like this. He had thought that the two of them would always support each other.

When she was fifteen years old, his uncle took her to his side and asked her to protect him. Then he began to take over YU Group, and she became her special assistant, not only helping him with the business of the group, but also his private bodyguard.

At first, he didn't think highly of her. He thought how a seemingly weak woman could protect him, and he believed that he didn't need anyone's protection, because he had made himself strong enough that ordinary people couldn't hurt him at all.
