One Night Stand With CEO

Gabriel Asahavey entered his regular club. The loud music rattled his eardrums as he opened the black glass door. He would come with his friends, but they seemed to be busy with their own business, so he came alone. His gaze searched all over, looking for a place that would be comfortable. He settled in a corner of the room that was quite dark, then smiled at the sight before his eyes. He groaned in annoyance.

Los Angeles is the place that legalized sex, but it made him shudder a little to see a couple making out in a club. Wasn't there somewhere more discreet? Would they choose to be together in a crowd and be a public spectacle? However, it was most likely only he who found the scene disturbing, as the people around seemed to take it for granted.

The man in the gray suit sat in one row of seats opposite the bartender, ordering a margarita and enjoying the tangy sour taste. It wasn't for nothing that he had come here. Frustrating having his job transferred to him, as well as the headache of the arranged marriage his grandfather was always planning, made his brain want to explode. He didn't want to get married, but an arranged marriage wasn't the way to go. He could find one, with no help from the old man.

If you think about it, what can gained after marriage? What was so special about the relationship? Sex? Even if he didn't get married, he could fuck a lot of women. Children? He can have children outside of marriage. Gabriel can pay a foreign woman to lend him her womb and host his child. Isn't there something you can do if you have money? Everything can buy if you have money. Including a woman's body.

"Hey, did you come alone?"

Gabriel looked at the foreign woman sitting beside him. "Yes. As you can see. I don't have any friends."

"Do you have a lover?"

Gabriel's brow furrowed. He wanted to ignore the question, but his mouth betrayed him. Was it because the woman beside him was pretty? So his brain and mouth were out of sync. "No. I have no interest in a relationship like that."

The woman's pupils widened. This was the perfect prey for her. She just needed to bait the man. Frustrating, being cheated on by her lover convinced her to do some pretty strange things that she had never done before.

"Do you like sex?"

Gabriel smiled. He didn't know the woman, but he was sure that the long-haired woman sitting next to him was a little drunk. "What man doesn't like sex, miss?"

"Then let's make love."

The blue-eyed man widened his eyes, quite surprised by the sudden offer. "Are you offering your body? How much are you asking for?"

The woman shook her head while wiggling her index finger right in front of Gabriel's face, proving that she did not agree with the man's offer. "No need. In fact, I will pay you. I just want to feel what union and release feel like."

Gabriel's brow furrowed again, his nerves widening, slightly shocked by what he heard. This was the first time he had met a woman so naïve and innocent. The woman who wanted to pay him? Doesn't that sound ridiculous? What was wrong with the petite woman who was showing her stupid grin?

"You don't need to pay me. I don't need money. I just need unification." Gabriel clearly refused, as money was not something he needed right now. Just a good, passionate release, that's all.

The woman waved her hands in the air. "Don't be like that, sir. I need a man, so I'm the one who should pay you. You just need to satisfy me." Her voice was typical of a drunk.

Gabriel grinned. The woman beside him was unique. Was she in a lot of trouble? However, he will not ignore this opportunity. Isn't this a very rare opportunity? Usually, he would set the bait for the fish to come to him, but this time, the fish voluntarily entered his trap net.

...

Bella hurriedly entered her flat. She didn't care how her clothes and face looked. Bella woke up naked in a hotel room with a man. She tried to dig up memories of last night, and when some of them came back, she quickly got out of bed and picked up her clothes that were lying on the floor. She ignored the pain in her crotch. All she could think about was how to get out of the room as quickly as possible.

She discarded her sling bag and sat down on the tiny cream-colored sofa she had bought a month ago. The clicking of her tongue sounded frustrated. Then she ruffled her hair and acted like someone who had lost control.

"What did I do last night? I got drunk and asked that guy to sleep with me. I'm not a virgin anymore." She growled in a hysterical voice. She had lost her chastity, lost her most prized possession, and lost her sanity.

"Bella! You're not a virgin anymore?" The scream came from the mouth of Christy, Bella's flatmate. "Where were you last night? Why can't I call your cell phone?" She approached Bella with a look of confusion mixed with curiosity.

The hazel-eyed woman looked down and sighed for the umpteenth time. "I volunteered to make love to someone else, Chris."

"Are you crazy? Didn't you promise yourself to keep your virginity until you got married?"

"Jack cheated on me. He's playing with other women." She snorted again. "I got my revenge this way."

Christy opened her mouth in disbelief, her pupils dilated, and was speechless. Her best friend had lost her mind. How could that woman take revenge by doing something she had never imagined? Virginity is not something to be joked about. Well, now she was sure that Bella's madness was already in the untreatable phase.

"Do you know that guy?"

Bella shook her head slowly. "No."

"Oh shit! You're really...." The woman hangs up her sentence, searching for the right word to describe Bella's attitude, "stupid." She rolled the eyeball. "How could you give your virginity to a strange man? What if you get pregnant? Did he use protection?"

"I've lost my sanity. I don't know if he used protection or not."

"Yes, without you saying it, everything is clear. You've lost your mind. No, you haven't. You've lost your brain." She scolded once again.

Bella leaned her back against the back of the sofa, then looked up at the ceiling of her flat. "You want to know what I regret?" Her gaze shifted to the curly-haired woman. "I forgot the taste." She roared, acting like she was crying. "Was I too drunk to remember the sensation when my hymen broke? I don't even remember how big it was."

Christy widened her eyes, unable to believe what her best friend was saying. "Does this make sense? You're hysterical because you can't remember the size or the taste? Oh, Bella. You're driving me crazy."

Frustrated, Bella goes to the bathroom immediately, washing her face that looks messy. The smudged makeup, the lipstick that had crossed the lip line, and let's not forget her eye circles that the eyeliner that had fallen apart had blackened. Her face resembled an Annabelle doll lying in a ditch.

She tried to remember what he looked like, but the more she tried, the dizzier her head became. How could he do such a ridiculous thing while drunk? How frustrated was she to give up her virginity to a stranger? Although there was a sense of regret, it was no longer useful. After all, everything had already happened. Her hymen had ruptured and the crown she had guarded for twenty-seven years has damaged beyond repair.

How would she explain this to her parents in the future? About herself being tainted, about herself breaking the rules of her extended family. Wait! There was no way her parents would check that. Yes, she could just lie and pretend nothing had happened. She rarely came home, so her mom and dad couldn't possibly ask her about her virginity.

She was already twenty-seven years old, an adult. There was no way her parents would ask her that. Bella's parents already believed that their daughter could take care of herself, but foolishly, Bella gave away the very crown she was guarding to a man she didn't know for free.

"Even a prostitute is worth more than me," she moaned in frustration.

"Yes, they get paid, but you don't, Ella. You're a free woman."

"Stop, Christy." She raised her hand right in front of her best friend's face. "Don't go on anymore. I know that I'm being silly, but let's forget that." She raised an eyebrow and nodded quickly, hoping for Christy's approval.

Christy just shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. I can't promise to forget what happened to you." The woman laughed. "It was unique."

...

Gabriel struggled to open his eyelids as sunlight came in through the windows. Hastily, he grabbed the cell phone he kept on the bedside table, looked at the screen, and confirmed that it was already noon. Then he turned around. There was no one there. There was a feeling of disappointment when he couldn't find the woman beside him.

He smiled as his memory went back to last night. He never imagined that he would play with a woman who had no experience at all. Gabriel was like a father teaching his daughter to do something for the first time. Like a professional guiding a novice. However, he was quite amazed that she was a fast learner.

Gabriel sits on the edge of the bed, gathering himself before he left the hotel room. However, his gaze turned to two bills with Benjamin Franklin's picture on them with a note on them.

'I apologize for having to leave you. I hope this money is enough for last night's service. Thank you.'

"Oh shit. I'm such a hired gun." He complained with a lopsided smile. For the first time, he felt like a lowly man. No woman had ever treated him like this before. Did he look like he was lacking equipment, so she was keeping the money as payment?

Gabriel smiled wryly, his pride completely tarnished. He promised to find the woman, no matter where she was. Even though he didn't know the name and residence of the strange woman. Once again, he could do anything, because he had a lot of money.

Bella groaned in annoyance as Holly pulled her arm. She had only just arrived at the office and the blonde woman grabbed her arm with all her might. Bella's smaller body compared to Holly's made it impossible for her to resist as Holly grabbed her arm, resulting in her being dragged.

"What are you doing, Holly?"

"If we're late, you'll get a scolding from Abigail. That nagging woman had sent a message to all employees to be on time. Starting today, we'll have a new CEO replacing Mister Hamilton."

"Why didn't I get the message?" The woman reached into her sling bag, pulling out her cell phone to confirm the message Holly was referring to. "Damn it. My phone's in airplane mode." Bella had a habit of turning off her phone or changing to airplane mode when she wanted to sleep. The reason is simple, because of her health.

Holly and Bella entered the hall, sitting in the back row.

"Looks like we're already late, Holly."

"I hope Abigail doesn't see us," she whispered, so as not to disturb the others.

The two of them searched Abigail's position, making sure that the chatty woman didn't see them coming. Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, Bella met Abigail's eagle eyes. The woman's gaze looked like a predator marking its prey.

"Looks like the universe isn't on our side, Holly." Bella pulled Holly's body closer. "Look over there," she whispered, not forgetting to put on the sweetest smile possible.

"Oh, no! Stop looking at her. Just act normal, like we've done nothing wrong."

Bella knew very well how Abigail behaved. People nicknamed her "lioness" because she was a much older general manager. Her single status was often associated with her grumpy attitude. Many assume that no man dares to approach her because of her authoritarian and fierce nature. However, behind her strict attitude, there is wisdom to be gained. No employee under her auspices is lazy, no employee is jealous of each other, because she always equalizes all employees.

Many people say that Abigail often feels frustrated because she is single. It is said that women who have never had an orgasm will often feel stressed and frustrated. Is this true? However, it is something that is uncertain, because even someone who is single can get a release from a man she doesn't know. As Bella experienced a few days ago.

Remembering it made Bella anxious. She wouldn't get pregnant, right? Hopefully, the man used it safely. Yes, hopefully. She didn't want to be in when she was pregnant, but didn't know who the father of her child would be. Isn't that a very scary thing? Not knowing who owns the flesh and blood inside her womb.

Bella regretted her actions, which were very dishonorable. Just because her lover cheated on her and played with other women, she even happily gave her virginity to another man. Was her grudge healed? Absolutely not. She is even more frustrated because of her outrageous behavior.

Recalling Jack moaning over another woman made her blood boil. The moans and sighs made her instantly nauseous. Although disappointed with the man, Bella was a little grateful for the incident. At least she didn't regret that her relationship with Jack had ended. At least there was no karma she would receive for breaking up with the treacherous Jack.

"Ella! Look at him, he's so handsome." Holly's nudge made Bella's daydream come to an abrupt halt.

"You're hurting me." Bella scolded as she stroked the arm that had fallen victim to Holly's violence. She looked up, narrowing her eyes as Mister Hamilton's grandson was already at the main podium, introducing himself.

Holly smiled brightly. "Looks like I'm going to be very diligent about coming to the office. His presence will make the boring office interesting."

That's how Holly was. She was always hungry for handsome men, especially rich men. However, until now, she didn't have a lover. Admiring many men makes it difficult for her to choose. She said that she would rather get a lot of attention when she doesn't have a lover, rather than getting just one attention from a lover who might get bored later. Quite reasonable, but her attitude led others to label her as an attention-hungry woman. However, Holly doesn't care. It was her indifferent attitude that amazed Bella.

At least Bella has a best friend who can strengthen her when she is down. At least Holly will be at the forefront when others to look down on Bella. Holly and Christy are friends who never leave her in any condition.

"His voice is so sexy, Ella. What if he sighs? That would be so exciting?"

Bella could only shake her head at Holly's behavior. She looked back at the main podium, feeling quite familiar with the face. However, she couldn't remember where she had met him.

...

"Give me the data of all the employees," he ordered Abigail, who was also his cousin.

"All employees? Hey, we have hundreds of employees, and you want all of them? Come on, Gabriel, you don't need to add to my already piling work."

"Then, give me the data of the employees who entered the hall late earlier."

Abigail's brow furrowed faintly. "Do you want to punish her? You don't need to do anything unnecessary. Let me give them some advice. Those two women are giving me a headache."

Gabriel hid his curiosity. "I'm just curious about them. Doesn't our company have strict rules? Why would ordinary employees behave like this?"

"No need, Gabe. You just do your job."

"Why are you insubordinate? Do you want to give up your position now?"

The threat made Abigail let out a long breath. "I don't know why you're so curious about those two women, but I hope you don't play games with them. Both of them are tough women, so you can't easily play with one of them."

'You're wrong, Miss. One of them is a naïve woman. Yes, easily giving her virginity to a foreign man.'

Gabriel smiled slyly. "I won't do it without their consent."

"Gabriel! If you harm one of my employees, then I won't hesitate to tell Grandpa about your depraved behavior."

"Wow, you think I'm afraid of the old man?" He shook his head. "Don't make me talk twice, Abigail. I'm waiting for their personal data."

Annoyed, Abigail walked out of the room. Having a relative like Gabriel was bad luck for her. However, if she didn't become a relative of the Hamilton family, she wouldn't have been able to get a decent job and was far from deprived.

After Abigail's departure, Gabriel smiled again. It was easy to find that woman. The woman who gave him satisfaction and pleasure when his frustrated. Gabriel did not deny that there was a sense of pride in knowing that he was the man who took away her chastity. The sensation was definitely different from what he felt with other women. Narrow, biting, and challenging.

Gabriel didn't understand the woman's train of thought until she willingly gave her body to a stranger, but the man was trust that something had happened to the hazel-eyed woman. Even though she was far from his ideal type, Gabriel couldn't forget the game that night. A hot, passionate game.

A slender and well-proportioned body, prominent breasts, full and thick lips, was his ideal type, but the woman was the exact opposite of what he liked. The woman he slept with that night had a petite body, so petite that he was afraid to mishandle her. Breasts that weren't too big but fit in his hands allowed him the freedom to play with them, and sexy lips that were a pleasure to fondle. Just the thought of it turns Gabriel on.

However, as the hundred-dollar bill filled his brain, a flash of annoyance took over. Gabriel was quite upset. That woman valued his skills at only two hundred dollars. Wasn't that too cheap, considering his undoubted skills and experience? Even the woman moaned loudly when she reached the top. It was like she was mocking him.

Just then, he got a notification on his computer. An email from Abigail containing the personal details of the two women. As he read the profile of the woman who paid for his skills with two pieces of paper with Benjamin Franklin's picture on them, his lopsided grin remained fixed.

"Let's play around, Bella Cameron." His grin looked frightening.

...

"Why are you coming so late, Ella?" She exhaled harshly, then said again. "Unfortunately, the leader just saw you." Then the woman turned to look at Holly. "You too, get over your bad habit of always not being on time. In fact, I sent you a message early in the morning so that you could get ready earlier than usual."

"I have a habit of always setting up the airplane mode whenever I want to sleep, and unfortunately, I forgot to return the phone to normal mode when I woke up earlier. So, I couldn't read your message."

The long-haired woman who always wore her hair in a ponytail looked up at Bella. "I hope you and Holly don't get a reprimand from above, because our new boss asked for your personal data."

Bella's pupils widened, a little surprised and scared about her future fate. It's hard to get in here, so she can't just kicked out. A year ago, she had to compete with hundreds of people to get into this company. At first, she had given a three-month trial period to find out more about her abilities, and because her dedication was good, she transferred to the planning department. Perhaps it was because she had a hobby of eating that Abigail chose her to work in the planning department alongside Holly. Although she still categorized as a new employee, Bella already trusted to hold several projects.

She is know for as a young woman with a lot of skills. When they were filming their new menu, the model couldn't make it because of indigestion, so Bella volunteered to take part. As a result, she rose to fame faster than the other employees who came in with her, as the show they were making was well-liked. Bella used her ability to attract viewers to buy the food products being advertised.

She had never imagined this before, as she was just enjoying the food served by the chef. However, many say that Bella advertises products earnestly and looks more natural than others. When she meets food, Bella seems to forget about her surroundings.

Her hobby is enjoying food, but the fat on her body doesn't seem to want to stick. Unlike Holly, who always regulates the calories that enter her body. Eating a meat sandwich alone makes her body increase significantly. The woman even said that just smelling meat would make her fat increase. It sounds absurd, but that's exactly what happened to Holly, the Mexican woman who moved to Los Angeles, because according to her, Los Angeles is a city where many ethnicities gather.

Holly loves meeting new people who have unique cultures to her. Holly is, so she talks a lot, and the expressive Holly likes to be hyperactive.

"Is he going to fire us?" Holly looked scared.

Abigail shook the file she was holding. She couldn't just let her two employees go. Despite their flaws, always arriving late, Bella and Holly were her best employees. High morale and a willingness to learn were the main things she needed. Although education is also necessary, Abigail feels that persistence is the main option to be an excellent employee in her being. Not forgetting an attitude is also necessary to create a qualified employee character.

"Don't worry, I'll keep you," she promised, allowing the two women to breathe a sigh of relief.

Abigail has a reputation for being strict, but she is also a kind bespectacled woman who always upholds the rights of every employee. She knew who could be retained and who could not. Ever since Holly and Bella came in, Abigail had been the one to mentor them, so she knew exactly what they were capable of.

"Does our new boss already have a wife?" Holly to show strange behavior.

Abigail let out a harsh sigh. "It's always like this. You can't resist the urge to pry when you meet a handsome man." She deliberately did not reveal who she really was. Abigail did not want to admit that she was part of the Hamilton family. She doesn't want people to look down on her and make assumptions about her position being earned through connections and inside influence. Abigail wants to be recognized for her abilities, not her origins.

Holly showed a grin. Come on, Abigail. You must know more about Gabriel."

"He's not married." Abigail clucked her tongue. "He's also single."

The gray-eyed woman opened her mouth in disbelief. "Really? A man as handsome as him is single? This is absolutely impossible." Holly hugged Bella's arm. "Ella, is he my soulmate?"

Hearing that, Bella rolled her eyes in disgust. "You always say that when you meet a handsome man, Holly. Are all single men with good looks your soul mate? Hey, Miss, don't be greedy."

"Wait! Why does that sound absurd?" Holly held her chin, thinking hard. "Is it possible that he doesn't like women?" Then she bit her lower lip, looking agitated. "A handsome, single man only has two possibilities. If he's not an asshole, he must be a same-sex lover." Holly groaned in frustration. "Ah, no. You must find the truth, Abigail." She whined at Abigail.

Abigail's pupils dilated. "Why should I? Am I your helper?"

"You can access more information about him. You have a higher position than us. Please." Holly put her palms together in front of her face, pleading with puppy eyes.

"Get out of my room now. I don't want to keep talking to you. You're giving me a headache."

"Abigail, please!"

"No, Holly. If you want to get close to him, you'd better find out information about Gabriel yourself. Make your own efforts without asking others for help."

With stomping steps, Holly stormed out in irritation. In her heart, she cursed Abigail for being stingy and unwilling to help her.

"Isn't she so stingy?" she grumbled again.

"It's not her who's stingy, it's you who's shameless, Holly. She's your boss. Why do you have the nerve to ask her for favors? She treats you like a friend, but you can't be that insolent."

Holly turned around, giving Bella an annoyed look, her arms folded across her chest. "Why are you defending her? Not like you used to?" Her eyes narrowed, implying suspicion.

"Don't overdo it, Holly. I'm just helping to remind you not to do anything unreasonable."

"Yes, Princess." Holly bowed, as if the one before her was a queen.

"You're overreacting." Bella laughed at her best friend's absurd behavior.

Bella took a deep breath and let it out through her mouth. Her heart was racing, her lungs felt tight, and her body trembled. She prayed she wouldn't get a scolding from her boss. This had never happened before. She had never been called by the CEO of her company, and she could not have been called by her boss. Because, if her work was not optimal, Abigail was the one who always nagged her.

She knocked on the door of Gabriel's room and pushed after getting approval from the new ruler of the company. With slow steps, a slight bow, and still trying to regulate her breathing rhythm, Bella tried to be polite.

""Good afternoon, sir. Is there anything I can help you with?""

Gabriel took off his glasses. Examining and watching Bella from toe to head. That's right, she was the woman who took him out for the night, then left him with two hundred dollars.

"Bella Cameron? Right?"

The woman looked up, staring at the face of her superior. Quite good-looking. ""Yes, sir. I'm Bella. With no disrespect, I would like to ask you about your purpose for calling me here?""

Gabriel looked down, hiding a smile. He didn't expect that the woman in front of him was a professional employee, in stark contrast to the one he met at the club the other day.

"I was just curious."

The woman's brow furrowed. "Yes, sir?"

"Ah, I was just curious about the personality of the employee who arrived late at my welcome ceremony this morning." He nodded. "You're pretty decent. You were polite, but it's a shame you didn't follow the rules. In fact, Abigail had instructed all employees to arrive fifteen minutes earlier than usual. However, you disobeyed me the first day I came here."

"I had my reasons, sir," Bella argued, not wanting to be cornered. "Abigail's message did not arrive, because my phone was in airplane mode, and when I woke up, I forgot to restore it to normal settings."

Gabriel stood up and put his hands in his pants pockets. He walked over to Bella, then smiled. "I don't accept any excuses, Bella. As an employee, take full responsibility for yourself."

Bella looked up. The man in front of her was quite tall, made her neck and nape ache. "So, what do I have to do for you to forgive me?"

The blue-eyed man lowered his gaze, aligning his face with Bella's. "How about you accompanying me for a drink tonight?"

The woman's pupils dilated. Wasn't her superior's attitude so unreasonable? They had just met, and he was already asking her out for a drink. Bella waved both hands in front of her face. "I can't, sir. What will others think if they see us drinking together?" She raised her index and middle fingers. "Just the two of us?"

Gabriel snorted with laughter. "Hey, you're surprisingly confident. Why would I invite you alone? I'll take some employees into the planning and marketing department."

The hazel-eyed woman blinked, her mouth ajar. She didn't know what else to say. Embarrassment and irritation made her speechless. She wanted to protest again, but she realized that the man in front of her would not remain silent if she argued again.

After analyzing, Bella knew a little about the character of her new boss. Her previous boss had a warm and friendly demeanor, and her current boss was far from that. Their new CEO is a little stubborn and childish.

"Why was I the only one called into his room?" Bella threw her back against the back of the chair, then squinted at Holly. "Why didn't Gabriel call you?"

"He asked you to his room?" Holly screamed. "How's his face? Is it much better looking from a closer distance?"

"Oh, come on, Holly. Why are you asking back questions?"

Holly flashed a grin. "Why did he call you?"

"Because I was the one who arrived late at his welcome ceremony. Aren't you late too? Why wouldn't he call you?"

The short-haired woman punched her best friend's arm. "You should be grateful for being able to meet him in person." She sighed in disappointment. "I wish I was in your shoes, Ella."

Bella rolled her eyes in disgust. "If you're so obsessed with him, then go to him and tell him you're too late."

Holly shook her head and wiggled her index finger in the air. "No, Ella. It's not an obsession, it's a feeling of love. I liked him at first sight." She clapped her hands once. "Fate seems to have brought us together here. My soulmate is in this office, Ella."

Bella's face turned wry. She had heard that line many times before. Too many times, Holly made her memorize the narcissistic behavior of her best friend. Holly, who was too confident. Holly, who always kept her attention on handsome men, and Holly, who cared too much about appearance if she was going to meet a lot of men. Her motto in life is 'must find a handsome, wealthy man to be a lover or husband'.

Realistically, Holly always cares about the jobs of the men she approaches. Their job is her number one priority, because she thinks money is everything. Yes, it's true. Money is everything, because of money, one can get whatever you want. Including social status.

Bella waved her hand. "That already sounds trite, Holly. When you met Julian, you said the same thing. By count, there are already five people in this office that you've dedicated your soul mate to." She turned to her best friend. "Why do you have so many soul mates? What path did you use when God gave you so many soul mates? Please tell your connections to give me one, because I want to get over Jack."

Holly glared, as if remembering something. "Oh yes, Ella. You haven't told me how you and Jack ended things."

"Are you asking me to tell you here?" She looked around. Although it was quiet, now they were in the office.

"Hey come on, no one will hear you but me. Look over there." She looked up at someone at the end of the room. "Fred is so far away. Isn't he a little deaf? So don't worry, he won't hear you whispering."

Bella looked up, staring at the ceiling of the office. Although she promised herself not to bring up Jack, on second thought, it was good to get her slightly painful thoughts out.

"I caught them at Jack's apartment. Actually, I didn't intend to come, but on second thought, I couldn't possibly not celebrate Jack's birthday. I wanted to surprise him, but it was him who gave me a very wonderful surprise. I saw him with another woman."

She lost in thought again, remembering how shocked she was when she walked into Jack's apartment and saw clothes scattered all over the floor. There were women's shoes that had stashed away. A sling bag that seemed to have thrown away, considering there were several items scattered about, such as lipstick and perfume.

She deliberately walked stealthily, trying to analyze the slightly heart-wrenching sounds. Bella to sit on the sofa, right in front of the room that was still tightly closed. Her heart and mind to be fighting. One side wanted to open the door and catch them in the act, the other side didn't dare to do so. Bella was afraid that her heart would experience further pain. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to face the day after seeing the struggle firsthand.

While she was guarding what was hers only for her future husband, the man who was almost her fiancé was doing something indecent. She knew that this country legalized casual sex, but her parents had taught her since childhood not to engage in such acts before marriage. Apart from health reasons, she felt it was necessary to keep her possessions sterile for her future husband.

"Did you hear them sigh?" Holly's pupils widened, clearly surprised by Bella's revelation. In fact, in her view, Jack was a very loving man. He always took care of Bella and treated her like a princess, but he turned out to be an asshole. The human heart is indeed a mystery. No one knows what it really contains.

Bella nodded. "And stupidly, I waited until they were done with the game. I heard sigh after sigh. Unfortunately, made me both sick and disgusted." She smiled wryly.

"You're really patient, Ella. If I were in your shoes, I would have opened the door and filmed them in action. You're just letting his desires out." Holly was a little dismayed by Bella's absurd behavior. How could she patiently wait and endure hearing the sighs of her own lover playing with another woman? "Do you know who that woman is?"

Bella looked down, then blinked. Her eyes glaze over, her chest tightened, and annoyance overwhelmed her. "Yes, she's Leona."

"Leona?" she screamed, making Fred in the corner of the room turn around. Holly just grinned and looked back down as she whispered, "Leona's your relative?"

"Hmm. I'm not surprised when I found out that Leona was with Jack. I had my suspicions about them, but I tried to think positively. Jack also kept saying that he wasn't interested in Leona. However, his words turned out to be a lie.""

"I didn't expect that Leona would betray you. In fact, you guys are very close. It was she who was so excited when you said you were going to get engaged to Jack. There's no telling the human heart." The look on Holly's face clearly broadcast annoyance. "Then how did they respond when they saw you there?"

Bella downed the drink in her mug. Then they sighed in disappointment. "They just apologized and said they were mistaken." She wore a wry smile. "Does that make sense? It seems like they've already planned this. Jack suddenly said he had a cold, and forbade me to come visit him because I wouldn't catch it. They didn't expect me to come."

"Mistaken? Ah, Jack had a fling with your own cousin." Then she laughed mockingly. "What an asshole couple."

"I broke up with Jack right then and there. My eyes caught something unexpected." Bella was silent for a moment, struggling to swallow her own saliva. "Leona was smiling."

"Really?" Holly clenched her fingers. "Just watch out. She'll get her comeuppance."

"Never mind, Holly. I don't want to get involved with them anymore. Let them enjoy their hot and passionate relationship. We'll see from a distance how long they last." Bella's tone was soft, but firm. Anyone would know that behind the casual-sounding words, there was a cruel prayer contained.

Bella was not a woman who would seek revenge. She was relaxed and a little ignorant of what was around her. Although she admits that her love for Jack is still great, she also won't keep a man who has no principles. If you don't want to be faithful, then Bella will let go gracefully. There are many men on this earth, and she will not bother to keep an asshole like Jack.

If she rebels and shows her frustration, Jack will feel proud that a woman looks frustrated with him. Bella didn't want to fulfill Jack's ego. The man would feel that he was a very important person to Bella. In fact, Bella considers Jack only as a complement in her life, not the major priority that must maintain. Bella has a simple principle in living a relationship. If your partner already wants to leave, then let go. Why is it, if in the end you only suffer?

'People who want to leave, let them go. People who can't stand it, let it go. Those who don't know how to be faithful throw them away.'

That's how simple her life is. The principle is simple: the difficulties faced by humans depend on who and how to live it.
